3x8. Family

"Guys, I think Alex needs our help." Reggie says, after they watched Alex run straight to his bed in the loft, while the rest of the band went inside the house. "Why would he want anything to do with his father, after the hell he put Alex through?" Julie lays her head on Luke's shoulder. "Regret." Reggie says. "He shouldn't regret being himself." Luke and Julie say in unison. "Jules, sweet girl, being gay wasn't exactly celebrated in the 90s." Julie nods. "I know that. But, why would he regret coming out?" She asks. "He was outed by Jerald, a mean kid that lived on our block." He says, taking a deep breath. "Alex was really confused about his sexual orientation, so I did what any good friend would do...." Julie smirks, raising a brow. "Made out, at the back of the school bus?" Julie asks. "No! We just pecked." Reggie raises his brows, as Julie chuckles. "Alright, fine we made out, and Jerald, took a photo of us. When his parents got a call from the school paper, asking for the "flamey" boy, his dad tried conversion therapy, his parents fist fought him, took his sister from him, just completely disowned him." Luke finishes, as he kisses Julie's head. "All he had and has now is us." Julie nods. "Well good thing we love him loads, I couldn't imagine my life without Alex." Julie smiles. "You know what? You guys are right!" Alex says running in and hugging them tight. "Blood is just a liquid anyway." Alex says, and they all group hug. "You know what what we need?" Julie asks. "Some QUEEN?" Alex asks nodding and Julie turns on the speaker. "Another red letter day
So the pound has dropped and the children are creating
The other half ran away
Taking all the cash and leaving you with the lumber
Got a pain in the chest
Doctors on strike what you need is a rest
It's not easy love, but you've got friends you can trust
Friends will be friends
When you're in need of love they give you care and attention
Friends will be friends
When you're through with life and all hope is lost
Hold out your hand 'cause friends will be friends
Right till the end
Now it's a beautiful day
The postman delivered a letter from your lover
Only a phone call away
You tried to track him down but somebody stole his number
As a matter of fact
You're getting used to life without him in your way
It's so easy now, 'cause you got friends you can trust
Friends will be friends
When you're in need of love they give you care and attention
Friends will be friends
When you're through with life and all hope is lost
Hold out your hand 'cause friends will be friends
Right till the end
It's so easy now, 'cause you got friends you can trust
Friends will be friends
When you're in need of love they give you care and attention
Friends will be friends
When you're through with life and all hope is lost
Hold out your hand friends will be friends
Right till the end
Friends will be friends
When you're in need of love they give you care and attention
Friends will be friends
When you're through with life and all hope is lost
Hold out your hand 'cause right till the end, friends will be friends
Yeah, yeah!" They all laugh and head to the studio. "So, song?" Luke asks. "Dandelions, I actually found something to match your verse." Reggie smiles. "Good thing we already know it, right Lucas?" His face turns pink. "Yep." She smiles. "Wake up your dreams, make'em your own, watching dandelions grow, never wanna die alone, slept on your floor, fall in love, oh I see it now, watching dandelions float. Oh I'm crying out, play that song, you got the heart, I'm wishing upon a star, watching dandelions float, I know I might sound crazy, been searching high and low. For the Juliet to my Romeo, like a missing piece, just look at me, we're just watching dandelions float." He looks at her, smiling. "Oh I'm chasing this song , the one I could hear all along,  screaming  at  the start, you're going far,  show me the way back to my home, where I belong." They all smile as Luke walks through her. "Come stay forever with me, we'll pack up our dreams, make them our songs, become who we are. Oh come on let's go to the field." Julie smiles. "Singing a song, thinking of us, all day long." Reggie smiles looking at Alex. "Yeah we're just watching dandelions float." Luke smiles, as the song ends. "Yes, that's what I am talking about!" Reggie says, high-fiving everyone. "I'm loving this!" Alex says as he gets some water. Luke goes over to his book, and remember's the add ins to the song and writes them in. "Reggie you're up!" Julie says, switching spots with him, as Alex jumps out from behind the drums, hand boning. " Come on, Reginald

Julie shrieks as Luke lays flat on the carpet. "It's four A.M and I'm starving!" They all order burgers and eat after a long day. Tomorrow is the big day!
