Julie gave her paper to the assistant standing next to the door and opened her phone to find a weird text from Flynn.
'Got a severe headache'
'Meet you at home.'
<Trigger warning>
As Flynn leisurely scrolled through her Instagram feed on her way to the cafeteria, she was unexpectedly pulled into one of the nearby classrooms. The sudden interruption left her confused and scared. Who could have whisked her away, and why? All of these questions were pondered in her mind.
"Nick!?" She gasped, struggling to speak as Nick's hand tightened around her neck.
He bore a striking resemblance to the Nick she knew, but his eyes were cold and devoid of life.
"This is a message for your dear friend," he hissed, his grip growing even tighter, surely leaving marks on her skin.
He leaned in close, whispering something unintelligible into her ear as she struggled to catch her breath, not sure if it was from the panic surging through her or the pressure of his hold.
"What do you want?" she managed to choke out, glancing between him and his hand; she took a deep breath, as she could, and kicked him in the nuts.
His body stumbled backwards, but somehow, a hand was still griping her throat, spots started to appear in her vision, and the last thing she set her eyes on was a fellow ghost.
Julie POV
I was bummed that Flynn had gone home without me, even more, that she had a headache. Walking home, I stopped by a supermarket, to get us snacks for the evening.
Entering the market, I went to the far right corner directly, knowing it's where sweet carbs and fats lie, I am still talking biology, uh, I need to get past that, and fast.
Anyway, I got us lemon sodas, and sour snacks, her favorite, and I got myself a packed Brownie.
The cashier line was longer than a traffic jam, it's noon. what did I expect?
After a few minutes, it was finally my turn, "A beautiful high school lady and no beer? Teenagers have become health-aware." The cashier lady smirked, she looked young, but her words made me feel as if she had went to high school thrice. I smiled at her and got on my way.
Reggie POV
A couple minutes before
I was walking down The girls' high school hall when I listened to a door close, it was near the cafeteria, but I could swear it was empty when I passed by earlier
As a ghost, I couldn't Inhale my 'Trouble breath' It was a bummer because as I approached the door, I could hear a moan followed by 'What do you want?'
Harassment! I wouldn't stand for it. Not after what happened in my old neighbourhood, a story for another day, but it didn't end in Pizzaly ever after.
Ghosting in, I watched an indescribable scene, A blonde boy knocked on the ground, and something was choking Flynn. Walking slowly towards her, I could tell she'd fainted as she fell in my arms when I got in front of her.
I had no idea what to do. The first thing I had thought of was getting Julie here, but instead, I chose to let her meet us at home; maybe Flynn would be better by then.
Flynn, I need to wake up Flynn. Her heart beat is slow, and so is her blood pressure of course, focus, Reggie, What should I do?
At her doorstep, Julie jumped when Luke came out of the closed door, "Agghh" Julie could have dropped her plastic bags, but thankfully a ghost saved them.
"Nice trick," she told him, trying to calm her nerves, "Been practicing for the past 6 hours." He said, his red sleeveless shirt shining on his vanilla skin, and his black trousers doing the contrast.
"Plus it's not my only trick." He winked looking up at her, since he had bent down to catch the bags.
"OK, Can I enter my house?" She asked, he was blocking her path, or so she convinced herself. "Sorry, it's past visiting hours." He flashed a smile, "Oh my God, the light is too intense for my naked eyes.." she said sarcastically, she took the bags wanting to be away from him fast, and went on sprinting like an Olympic athlete.
"Are you sure it's your eyes though?" He shouted behind her, "That smile is too radiant for me too Molina."
She was smiling, as he had guessed.
Flynn lay on their studio's couch with Reggie and Alex next to her, "How is my soldier doing?" Julie asked in a giddy tone, too giddy for the current situation. "She can't remember what happened." Alex broke the silence, "If it hadn't been for Reggie we would be at square zero."
He continued gazing at the confused Flynn.
"What?" Julie quiered, "What happened?"
It was the bassist's turn to speak, his legs kept on thumping in a nervous harmony, "I was at your school, I heard noise from one of the nearby classrooms and I went in to discover the source." He air quoted on 'discover'
just as Luke was strutting across to where they were.
"Flynn, she was there, but she wasn't alone. Nick, I think is his name, was knocked out on the ground, I had no idea what to do as she was fainting when I had entered. Thankfully, she woke up without my interference but she's been confused ever since." Reggie explained, lost in thought.
It should be described better,
How one could look so lively with pain overpowering their bones
It's the complexity of nerves easing you to more ill than gain
The pen should paint the reckoning of the body's calls,
How skin protects what's within
How you blackout whenever you are disappointing your limps, that was what happened to Flynn, A mixture of fear and magic were enough to cause havoc to the 16 year old.
Julie bent down, crouching in front of her friend, she let her hand roam across Flynn's neck, checking for any bruises.
"It's ok," Julie said, brushing her thumb across her plump cheeks, "You don't need to explain your part, not now, I brought sour snacks to lighten your sour mood." She said flashing the quickest smile.
As time passed, Color found its way onto Flynn's face, as soon as Julie made sure her friend was alright, she gathered her phantoms and discussed the issue.
Can Magic be any more predictable? Or do we look for Logic too much to understand it? Our Characters have a lot to uncover, What is wrong with Julie's house? What was it telling them the other day? What happened to Flynn? Or a better question, What is in the cards for her? All in due time.....Tick...Rock.
