lavender still refused to talk to the boys about why she came back crying. all the boys could do is hope that eventually she lets them in.
after waving goodbye to julie, and flynn although she couldn't see them, the group of four walked into garage talking about former of the two.
"i can't believe julie didn't tell us she could shred it on the piano." reggie said shaking his head in disbelief. lavender turned to look at her boyfriend in disbelief "after that entire conversation they just had that's what your focus us on?" she asked. ignoring the girl luke continued, "and sing. that girl can sing."
"it probably has something to do with her mom. you know? must of been hard." alex sympathized for the girl. "i mean she stopped playing for an entire year. you don't just decide that randomly. i feel for her" i spoke agreeing with alex's statement. alex nodded pointing at me as a way of saying he agrees with my statement, making his way up to the balcony.
"now she has music back into her life. just like us." luke spoke turning to look at the piano. alex leaned over the railing before speaking, "yeah i'm not so sure you call what we have a life." sending luke an annoyed look. reggie shrugged as luke just looked at him. rolling my eyes i made my way towards the couch, throwing myself on it.
"oh hey! some of the clothes we left behind are still up here." alex shouted excitedly, throwing a trash bag filled with clothes over the railing. alex tossed reggie his old back pack as luke spoke, "sweet. same clothes since 95 boys." smelling the shirt he just took off in disgust. "lav i can't seem to find anything if yours." alex spoke up after rummaging through some more stuff. "it's okay baby, i'll just borrow one of your guys shirts." i reassured the boy noticing the look he gave me. alex threw a shirt down to me, informing me he wanted me to wear it.
it was the shirt i would constantly steal from him back then. i claimed it as my favorite shirt even though alex hated it. it brought me endless amount of comfort.
my eyes shifted towards the door, as i noticed julies father walk in. "reggie watc-" i stated but was cut off as ray walked through reggie. "woah that was weird." reggie spoke in shock, shaking my head i turned to look at luke who was pulling his new shirt down. i let out a whistle causing him to playfully glare at me.
"so how've ya been?" ray abruptly spoke scaring me slightly. luke smiled wrapping his arms around me and pulling me close. "honestly not that good. you see we ate these hotdogs and-" reggie responded as ray began taking pictures of the garage. "julie sang for the first time this morning. that's the first time in a year. you would have loved it." ray spoke cutting reggie off. "yeah we were there oh-" reggie stopped as he realized ray couldn't see us and wasn't talking to us.
"you are so lucky you can play bass." "you are so lucky i love that youre an idiot." luke and i spoke at the same time causing reggie to look at us confusedly. "i'm pretty sure he's talking to julies mom." alex spoke letting his legs dangle off the edge. "she's such an amazing women. everyday she reminds me more and more of you." ray spoke causing alex to happily shout out that he called it.
"alex shut up." i sent the boy a glare as i moved across from ray with luke and reggie. "i'm taking pictures for the real estate website. i don't really wanna move but i guess it's best for julie." ray spoke sadly, taking a picture when the group of four stood looking at him sadly. ray began to tear up, "there's so many memories of julie playing next to you. carlos trying to sing with two missing front teeth." letting out a chuckle at his last statement.
luke's lip quivers as he puts a hand to his mouth, tears in his eyes. "oh no luke not you too." reggie spoke in disbelief at seeing his boyfriend begin to cry at rays words. "he's talking about moving but the poor guys doesn't want to move." luke chokes out. letting out a sigh, i wrap my arms around the boy offering support. "it's like they grew up out here." ray continued causing reggie to lose it too.
reggie threw himself into my arms "oh man he's got me too." trying to not roll my eyes, i removed one arm from luke and wrapped it around the boy. alex looks at the two boys that are in my arms in disbelief "okay how am i the emotional one." he questioned shaking his head. "can we go see my family and see how they're doing?" reggie asked his bottom lip stuck out showing off a pout.
"of course baby." i replied giving him a quick kiss, grabbing his hand. "yeah listening to this feels wrong." alex says gesturing to ray who's looking around the place sadly. "do you remember when the kids were at your sisters and we came out here on our anniversary." ray spoke causing luke to stand up in horror. "yeah no this is definitely wrong." he spoke with wide eyes, moving away from the man. luke poofed away which resulted in reggie following his lead. i turned to look at alex in disbelief. "why are we the only sensible ones?" i asked.
alex chuckled pulling me in for a kiss before we were interrupted by ray continuing to speak about what happened that night. "alright time to go." i spoke and immediately alex and i poofed to where the boys went.
let's just say alex and i know things we wish we didn't about julies father.
