Last Look Before Goodbye ~Alex~

I Am (NOT) A Cushion

Why couldn't they have stuck him in a room with spiders? Snakes? A replay of the most disgusting noises ever made in the history of earth. He would literally pick anything over these asshats. That's right, God or whoever thought it'd be funny to have him spend the rest of eternity with Sunset Curve, and he detested it. The brunette hasn't stopped pacing, the blonde won't stop crying, and leather jacket can't stop asking questions.

"OK! I GET IT WERE ALL FREAKED OUT HERE! WILL YOU PLEASE SETTLE DOWN YOUR GIVING ME A HEADACHE! H-h-how do I even have a headache? You guys literally gave a dead person a headache." Teddy put his head in his hands and took a breath before looking back at the attractive band who were all looking at him like he was a loon "Your names?" He questioned

"Huh?"

"Your names? I'd like to know them because as much as I'd like to call you all Brunette, Blondie, and Leather Jacket for all of eternity there's a small part of me that's curious as to what your names are."

Brunette looked at him with furrowed eyebrows and crossed arms "Why should we tell you? You just yelled at us."

"I'm not apologizing for yelling because ,again, You literally gave a dead person a headache."

"And how was yelling supposed to help your headache?" Blondie threw his hands up at the thought causing the new guy in the room to chuckle a bit

"Oh no, it wasn't meant to help but it did make me feel better. So do I get your names or not?"

Leather jacket looked at him skeptically and held his hand out cautiously for a hand shake. He took it just as cautiously.

"I'm Reggie, that's Luke, and the one that's been crying since he got here is Alex." Teddy nodded along clearly getting it.

"My names Teddy. Just so you know asking for you names doesn't mean I like you guys anymore than I did before."

All the boys groaned before the sound of a song was heard and all the sudden the ground under them gave out they were tumbling onto a different surface with different scenery and to Teddys discomfort Alex had landed on top of him sending a shooting pain through his chest.

"Dude, owwwww" Alex panicked when he realized he had landed on Teddy and quickly scrambled to get up only faltering at the sound of a scream.

They all looked to the source of the noise to see a girl in a yellow sweatshirt clearly frightened screaming her head off. Teddy went to stop her but when he stepped forward the girl went running making Teddy frown.

"This is clearly your fault" Teddy turned to the band of boys causing them to gasp

"OUR FAULT? Your the one that stepped forward with a hand out like you wanted to grab her." Luke countered clearly offended Teddy just shrugged and walked away. "NOBODY WANTS TO BE GHOST GRABBED YA KNOW!" Teddy just threw up his middle finger and continued walking.

When Teddy started to hear the girl yell about ghost he stuck his hands in his pockets and sighed before going back inside to sit on the couch walking past the band to wait for the girl to come back (if she was ever even coming back) so he could explain that he meant no harm.

The girl finally came back after a short while with a cross only to be met with just Teddy on the couch leaned over with his head in his hands. He looked up at the sound of the girls footsteps.

"Who are you? A-a-and what are you doing in my moms studio?" Teddy was about to respond when the band popped up behind the girl.

"Your moms studio? This is our studio." The girl suddenly turned around with the cross held high and pointed it at Luke causing him to freak out and climb the piano in an attempt to get away.

"The grand piano is new, and...and...and. MY COUCH!" And without thinking Luke lept onto the couch which Teddy was still sat on causing him to grumble but not push him off. "That is definitely not my six string." Luke looked to Teddy who still looked annoyed at being landed on twice that day and muttered sorry once he got up before looking back at Julie and all around him slowly "c-can you give me a minute. J-just... Give me one second. Thank you" he then huddled with his band avoiding the cross on the way there. Teddy assumed Alex was probably being reasonable, Reggie was most likely oblivious, and Luke definitely freaking out by their facial expressions. He chuckled which caused the girls attention to turn to him with the cross raised. It made Teddy chuckle up until the girl began advancing and she quickly realized he didn't want to find out if that thing worked and hoped off the couch to hide behind Alex.

When he was close enough he heard Alex volunteer to talk to the girl due to his 'softer touch' which he thought was bull but whatever "What are you doing in our studio?" He bluntly asked and suddenly Julie put the cross through him despite Teddy trying to pull him away in time. Just because he doesn't like them doesn't mean he thinks they deserve to die. (again)

"Oh my gosh! How did you do that?" This caused Teddy to sigh along with Alex

"Are you kidding?" He asked at the same time Alex said,

"Clearly, your not understanding... She doesn't get it" he turned to his band mates and Teddy exasperated. "Ok, look. We're ghosts all right." Teddy nodded along from his spot behind Alex "We're just three" Teddy cleared her throat "four ghosts that are really happy to be home... well Teddy doesn't live here but still. So, thank you for the flowers. They really brighten up the room."

All the sudden the rest of the boys were at Alex's side "We're actually in a band called Sunset Curve." Teddy knew what was coming next so he mouthed the words along with Reggie.

"Tell your friends."

"Last night was supposed to be a really big night for us." And suddenly just like that Teddy took a couple steps back from them suddenly remembering the spot and song they had stolen from him. Suddenly, he wished she was anywhere but here and then he was, and he didn't even realize that Luke had noticed him back away and reached out to her and wherever he ended up he had also taken Luke.
