2020 los angeles
lavender was in alex's arms, comforting the boy after he began to cry into the dark room. although lavender was worried about what was going on she made sure to look after her boyfriends.
luke was banging his fist on the wall and shouting for someone to let us out. reggie was being reggie and banging his head on the world. lavender was definitely concerned for him. whenever she tried to convince the boy to stop he just brushed her off saying he was gonna get them out of here. alex has been crying nonstop, hugging his girlfriend tightly.
now lavender didn't know what to think. she knew she was dead, she remembers floating out of the ambulance but she has no idea where she is or why she's there. she always imagined she'd go to heaven, she was a good kid for the most part. always made curfew, straight b's in school, the only "wrong" thing she's ever done was be with the three boys.
not long after she felt as if she was falling and was never going to stop.
take off
last stop
countdown till we blast open the top
face first, full charge
lavender furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. wondering why she could hear her boyfriends bands music when they most certainly weren't singing. her answers were soon answered when she crashed into the ground, in between reggie and luke. like the rest of the boys, she groaned in pain from hitting the ground full force. after taking a minute the group of four stood up and looked around confusedly
"how did we get back here?" luke asked looking around and noticing the changes the garage had went through. before the other three could respond they were cut off by a teenage girl screaming which caused lavenders dimwit boyfriends to begin to scream as well. before lavender could ask the girl what was going off, the girl took of running and calling for her dad.
"well that was rude." i pouted crossing my arms and leaning into luke. "i still have no clue how we got back here." luke spoke wrapping his arms around me. "who cares? at least we're back. can we go see my parents? i bet they're panicked by now." i spoke looking between the three boys. "not right now okay? let's figure things out here and then we will princess." luke spoke giving me a reassuring smile. i let out a sigh but agreed anyways.
"maybe it's because we were always here. we died and we're at the place we love the most." i suggested as i took a look around. "maybe. there's just gotta be something more." luke argues "luke you over think everything too much." i argued giving him a look. "you don't think enough." he retaliated but i could tell he immediately regretted.
letting out a scoff i moved away from the brown haired boy and towards reggie. "not cool dude." alex spoke shaking his head. "come here baby." reggie spoke, pulling me into his embrace. "lav, i'm sorry. i didn't mean it princess." luke spoke sending me an apologetic look but i ignored him, upset. now typically i would just brush luke's comments aside knowing how he gets when he's frustrated, but this time i was frustrated as well.
i had absolutely no idea what was going on, and i just wanted to be home. i want to be at reggies house, spending time with the boys. i want to see bobby and rose. i want to go home but i know i'll never get that chance. i just want to be alive again.
"i know i saw something. i'm not crazy." the girl from before spoke, looking around and holding a cross in front of her. I look at alex with raised eyebrows, "does she really think that's gonna work." i said sarcastically "shut it." luke spoke sending me a stern look in which i replied with my middle fingers up. "well, we're all a little crazy." luke spoke as the four of us appeared in front of the girl. obviously spooked, she begins screaming again.
"here we go again with the yelling." i rolled my eyes "oh my god! please stop screaming." alex begged sending the girl an annoyed but panicked look. "who are you? what are you doing in my moms studio?" she replied holding the cross in front of her as protection. "your moms studio? trust me, my... the grand piano is new.. and.. and.. my couch!" luke giggled as he spotted the couch and threw himself onto it. moments after he sat up "that is definitely not my six string." he spoke standing up and walking by the girl. "can you just give me a second? just... give me a second. thanks." luke spoke as he walked past the girl and to the group of three.
"guys what's going on? how'd she get her stuff in here so fast?" luke asked looking at the three of us bewildered. "maybe she's a witch? i mean there's chairs on the ceiling." reggie said pointing up towards the roof where there were, intact chairs hanging. "reggie baby, there's no such thing as witches." i argued with the boy. "you sure baby? i used to think ghosts weren't real and look where that got us." reggie argued "he's got a point." alex shrugged giving me a look. "so we're going with witch?" luke asked looking at us with disbelief. "no you idiot." i shook my head, surprised at how i'm not used to their behavior.
"look guys, she's scared okay? let the ones with the softer touch handle this." alex spoke gesturing between himself and i. "lavender seems a little too aggressive for that. you got this buddy." luke spoke pushing alex towards the girl and pulling me into his grasp. i fought against it, still mad at him, but he just continued to tighten his grip.
"why are you in our studio?" alex spoke loudly once he was in front of the girl. in response she shoved the cross into alex only for it to go right through him. she pulled the cross back in disbelief "oh my gosh. how did you do that?" she asked with wide eyes staring at alex. "clearly you're not understanding.. clearly she doesn't understand." alex spoke turning to us annoyed "way to state the obvious dumbass." i spoke sending him an annoyed look. ignoring me alex turned to face the girl again, "okay, look. we're ghosts, all right? we're just four ghosts who are happy to be home. so thank you for the flowers, they really brighten up the room." alex rambled doing his little hand gestures
"we're actually in a band called sunset curve. Not lav though, she's our girlfriend." luke spoke suddenly "tell your friends." reggie winked causing me to hit him on the arm. "luke was right, you are aggressive." reggie pouted, moving away from me.
"what are you doing?" i asked in confusion seeing the girl pull out something from her back pocket. "it's my phone. no- stop talking to them. they aren't real. there's no such thing as cute ghosts." she shook her head before returning back to what she was doing on her phone. "you think we're cute." reggie smirked. i sent reggie a glare, pulling myself out of luke's grip. after successfully getting out i threw myself down onto the couch, glaring at my boyfriends who are enjoying being hit on by this girl.
"who you calling?" alex asked trying to see what the girl was doing. "i'm googling sunset swerve." she spoke looking at them quickly before looking back at her phone. "sunset curve." the boys corrected her "she can't even get their name right and they think she's hot." i scoffed getting angrier by the second. "well there is a sunset curve. you guys did die but not last night. 25 years ago?" she spoke sending the boys a confused look.
at that moment my heart shattered and i finally broke down.
