Kat (JATP: OC x Reggie)✔️

The Other Side of Hollywood (part one)

"I don't know about this," Reggie shook his head, leaning over the railing nervously.

"Yeah, guys...I don't think this is a good idea—"

Kat stopped talking when she looked at all of the people dancing on the lower level. She scanned the crowd for her father. There must have been a reason he was in one of the pictures, right? Could he be there?

"Well, if you get scared, you-you can always hide behind me," Alex said. They all gave him a look. "I'll be hiding behind Luke," he whispered, moving behind the boy.

"You guys need to grow up okay? We need to get back at Bobby," Luke ordered.

"Do you need to? Cause I think-I think we scared him enough," By the end of her sentence, Kat's voice got higher pitched, and her nervousness took over. She reached out for Reggie's hand, which she found in an instant, and calmed down.

"Yes, Kat. He needs to pay for what he did to us," Luke said.

"Yeah," Alex and Reggie both agreed with the lead singer. "I'm still gonna hide behind him," Alex whispered to Reggie and Kat.

Reggie used his thumb to trace over Kat's knuckles. She seemed a little shaky after looking at the pictures on the wall. Reggie noticed this, but he didn't think he should ask. It could lead to her freaking out more.

He couldn't handle her breaking to pieces beside him. "Kat, are you okay?" Reggie asked his girlfriend. Her facial expression answered his question. No. Katerina Morgan was not okay.

"We're all good," Willie blinked in, and Kat jumped, her non-beating heart bursting out of her chest in panic.

Reggie frowned at his girl, who's head was right underneath his chin. He kissed the top of her head, where her blue bandana covered her hair. She felt his soft touch, and leant against his chest.

"Oh, uh, cool. Hey, just so you know, we have, like, an hour, cause we gotta gig with Julie," Alex informed Willie.

"Oh! Yeah, no worries. Let's go," Willie said, and the band followed him, a trembling Kat waiting behind. Reggie turned to her, with questioning eyes, and she shook her head.

"I'll catch up," she gulped, and her boyfriend nodded slightly, hesitantly walking away.

Kat stood in the same spot, looking over the ledge.

"Ladies and gentlemen," A voice in a microphone spoke.

Kat's ears perked up, and she watched the lights get dark.

"Back from the dead, by popular demand, please welcome, Caleb Covington,"

Kat watched the stage, finding Reggie and the boys at a table set up right in front of it.

A gust of purple...wind, air? appeared right around the figure that was floating above the stage. Kat's eyes widened.

"D-dad?" she whispered, staring at the man unbelievably.

"Did you miss me?" the man asked the crowd. They whooped and yelled. Caleb's eyes locked with Kat's and he gave her a smile. She crossed her arms. "I. Did. Too!" he chanted. "Welcome, to the party of your dreams. From the Egyptians, to the Druids, to the person sitting next to you, we've all wondered, 'Where do we go when that final light is snuffed out?' Allow me to show you."

"Let me introduce myself
We got some time to kill
Consider me the pearly gates to your new favourite thrills"

Kat stared, awestruck at the man. She looked closer at him. That wasn't her father. It couldn't be.
