Julie entered the studio with her school bag on her shoulders, looking for
the four ghosts she'd befriended the night before.

When they were no where to be seen, Julie worried in the slightest. "Guys?" she asked. She walked around, spinning in a circle. "Guys?"

Smiling softly down at the grand piano that belonged to her mother, Julie traced her fingers across the beautiful instrument, before finding sheet music that had been left for her, from her mother.

Her fingers landed onto the keys, and she found herself sitting down at the bench. It wasn't long before she began playing the music, singing along with it:

"Here's one thing I want you to know
You got some place to go
Life's a test, yes but you go toe-to-toe
You don't give up, no you grow

And you use your pain
'cause it makes you you
Though I wish I could hold you through it
I know it's not the same
You got living to do
And I just want you to do it

So get up, get out relight that spark
You know the rest by heart

Wake up, wake up if it's all you do
Look out, look inside of you
It's not what you lost
It's what you'll gain
Raising your voice to the rain
Wake up your dream and make it true
Look out, look inside of you"

What Julie didn't know as she sang, was that her father was listening to her from the side of the house. The sun rose, shining brighter, suddenly.

"It's not what you lost
Relight that spark time to come out of the dark

Wake up wake up

Better wake those demons
Just look them in the eye
No reason not to try
Life can be a mess
I won't let it cloud my mind
I'll let my fingers fly

And I use the pain 'cause it's part of me
And i'm ready to power through it
Gonna find the strength find the melody
'cause you showed me how to do it

Get up, get out relight that spark
You know the rest by heart

Wake up, wake up if it's all you do
Look out, look inside of you
It's not what you lost
It's what you'll gain
Raising your voice to the rain
Wake up your dream and make it true
Look out, look inside of you"

Carlos walked out of the house, hearing his sister's voice echoing through the neighborhood. His smile grew. His sister was back.

"It's not what you lost
Relight that spark time to come out of the dark
Wake up wake up

So, wake that spirit, spirit
I wanna hear it, hear it
No need to fear it you're not alone
You're gonna find your way oh"

Blinking into the garden, Kat listened to Julie sing the song she had accidentally glanced over on top of the piano. Kat felt her non-beating heart warm up. She felt tears prick her eyes and her smile was unbelievably wide. Julie got her voice back.

"Wake up, wake up if it's all you do
Look out, look inside of you
It's not what you lost
It's what you'll gain

Raising your voice to the rain
Wake up your dream and make it true
Look out, look inside of you"

The first thing that Kat noticed when she blinked into the back of studio, behind Julie, were the boys standing, completely astonished at the angelic sound that came from the girl on the piano who told them she couldn't play.

"When you feel lost
Relight that spark time to come out of the dark
Wake up mm-mm wake up"

Julie played the last note. She held the sheet music close to her chest. Kat couldn't make out the message on the bottom of the page, but she knew it made Julie cry, so it must have been from Julie's mother.

Reggie's hand slipped out of the pocket of his leather jacket, and he put it down at his side, not realizing Kat's presence next to him. When his hand brushed hers, Kat smiled slightly. The four ghosts watched Julie, in silence, them each feeling a hundred different emotions.

HI! This book is doing incredible...I would like to thank all of you. Today's shoutouts go to AmberCruz080 and riverajojo951 thank you both for all of the love you've shown! Go follow them!

So things are starting to get interesting between Kat and Reggie! Cuties.

So this is part two of the first episode! It's a bit shorter because I like to make filler chapters to give the book more length, and as I mentioned before— to give Kat some songs for herself. I will also be posting part one of 'Bright' today as well, and possibly another filler! Stay tuned!!
