Ghosted Love - JATP

Chapter 2

After Carrie left us, she handed out some other flyers to other people. Flynn and I see Julie staring at Nick. Unfortunately I can't say anything about that to her. Luckily Flynn does that for me.

"Nick? Still? You know they're gonna get married and have a bunch of unholy babies."

"Nick's a sweetheart."

"You'd actually have to talk to him to know that."

Julie looks down while Flynn continues to talk.

"And only one of them has to be a demon to make a demon baby."

She ten looks at Carrie and shouts, "DEMON!"

Immediately after she said that, they look the other way as I can no longer breathe because i'm laughing so hard.

"There's that smile. Now, let's go prove everybody wrong."

After this, the three of us walk to the music room. After a while it was Nick's turn. He played a piece on his guitar and it was super beautiful. If only I could do this. Being dead sucks, especially when you're all alone.

"Nice job, Nick. Almost as impressive as your game against Glendale."

This made the whole class laugh, but it was actually not really funny. But it must be me.

"OK, we have one last performance. Julie?"

Julie looks up at Mrs. Harrison and walks to the piano at the side of the classroom. I suddenly get nervous just thinking of what can happen if she doesn't play. In the corner of my eye, I can see Flynn sitting on the edge of her seat. Julie sits down and opens her sheet music to the piano. She looks dubiously at Mrs. Harrison to which she says,

"Take your time." She puts her fingers on the keys but immediately takes them off. This gesture makes Flynn stand up. Now I am really worried!

"I'm sorry.", Julie says as he stands up.

Flynn, Mrs. Harrison and I sigh at the same time. While I was thinking of different ways to comfort her, Carrie interrupts my trail of thoughts.

"Is this when we clap?" She says very mean.

Julie walks out of the room.

"Watch it, Carrie!" I hear Flynn say back.

I wish I could make Carrie suffer but that's another downside to being a ghost. Nobody knows you are there and supports them. I soon poofed away looking for Julie and Flynn but couldn't find them anywhere.

I looked for my brother instead. He plays lacrosse and should be training now. Once a week I tried to come to the training and encourage him like I used to. But of course. No matter how loud I cheered, nobody could hear me.

After training, I poofed over to Julie's house. I found her at the kitchen table. She was wearing my yellow sweater I gave her as a souvenir before I died. She has those cuddly slippers on her feet that Flynn and I also have, but in different colors. They are hogweeds.

Out of nowhere she mumbled that she was going to clean out her mother's studio. I followed her for moral support. At least if she felt it. Probably not. When she entered the studio, she turned on the lights and went straight to the piano. 

She removed the cloth that was on it and sat down after removing the music sheets from the seat. I suddenly became very curious what that was, but i am not in the real world so I put the feeling aside.

"I'm so sorry, mom. That I haven't been here. I'm also sorry to Nova for giving up music."

This brought tears to my eyes but I quickly wiped them away. She straightened up and strode to the loft. Once up there, she looked at all the instruments, but we both turned our eyes when we saw a CD. It said 'Sunset Curve' on the cover.

Soon, Julie had the same idea as I did and put the CD in the CD player. A very cool rock song came on through the speakers and I started dancing back and forth.

Suddenly we heard screaming but didn't know where it was coming from. It got louder and louder. It didn't stop until three guys appeared in front of us out of nowhere.
