I hopped out of my truck, before going to the trunk to get my bags, after a school trip to France, I was finally home.

Of course most of the days there, I saw shadows out of the corner of my eyes, and nightmares every night when I supposed to be studying the culture.

I went into the house, placing my stuff in the living room when Carlos ran to me, hugging me tightly.

"Your home!" He said happily.

"I missed you squirt." I said ruffling his hair smiling.

"Where's Julie by the way?" I asked.

"In the garage." He said as I nodded.

The garage? No one has been in there since mom died, so I made my way outside and to the door, the music suddenly stopped as I popped my head in.

"Jay?" I asked as I saw her holding a cross along with three cute boys.

"Em! You're home!" Julie yelled jumping on me before I even stepped 4 feet in the door.

"I am. Um, who's your friends?" I asked.

They all look at me like I've seen a ghost, causing me to raise a brow.

"You can see them?" Julie asked as I looked confused.

"Yeah. Jules have you been drinking coffee at 3 in the morning again, I told you that's not healthy."

"No! I haven't not since Monday... look they're ghosts! And they're in a band called Sunset Curve." Julie told me.

does she see them like i do? I thought as one of the boys leaned over.

"Tell your friends." He said as I gave my little sister a look.

"Just search it up!" Julie groaned.

"Fine. Okay. I was going to say I believe you but." I said taking out my phone.

"Sunset Curve." I mumbled typing it in.

"Says here you died from food poisoning while eating street dogs... ever heard of salad?" I asked the boys.

Two of them were staring at me with mouths wide opened as the blonde haired boy had a regular look on his face.

"Uh, I'm Emilia but most people call me Em." I said holding out my hand.

"Alex." Alex said shaking my hand.

"Guys!" Julie snapped at the other two.

"Oh, uh, Reggie." Reggie the boy with the darkest hair said as I nodded.

"I'm Luke." He said giving a small wave.

"So their ghosts? We lived here for 18 years, how come we're seeing them now?" I asked.
