Apologies Julie And The Phantoms Fanfiction

breaking

Me and nick go and walk around town, looking in shops and talking about things.
A few people start looking at him weird so I make him put his phone to his ear so it looks like hes talking to someone on the phone.
"Okay, favorite show." He asks me. We've just been asking questions back and forth for the past little bit.
"Julie showed me what Gilmore girls is and I finished the show this week."
"Wait. Doesnt that show have like seven seasons of over twenty episodes." He says smiling.
"Yes."
"And each episode is at least 45 minutes."
"If not 50." I say.
"I'm sorry. Do you sleep?"
"Not much. Why do you ask?"
"Well everytime I see you at school your in the music room writing songs, and if I see you out of school your taking a walk or doing something with julie. When do you have time to finish a seven season show?"
"Checking up on me are we?" I tease.
"No. I'm just observant"
He says. I laugh at his obvious embarrassment at being caught.
"So what do you wanna do now?" I ask bumping his shoulder.
"I'm not sure."
"Well, the guys are probably out doing god knows what and julie is with flynn so we could hang out in the studio at Julie's."
"Wont her dad find it strange to see a teenage boy seemingly talking to himself in his garage?"
"Hes at work and her brother is at their aunts."
"Funny how this just worked in our favor." He says sarcastically.
"I know right."
We head back to Julie's and I put my bag by the piano.
I sit down on the bench and start fiddling with the piano keys.
I pull out my notebook and flip to a song I'm working on.
"What's that?" Nick says sitting beside me.
"Just something I'm working on."
"Can I hear it?"
"Well alot of my songs are really personal." I say, unsure.
He looks hurt but is quick to cover it up.
"But I have a few that arent about me. Or there not as personal." He perks up immediately, a smile that could light a room forming on his face.
"Okay!" He says exited.
I start playing the piano looking at him nervously. I dont know why I'm nervous. Maybe it's the way hes looking at me. Either way its alarming.
Welcome to wonderland we've got it all
Potions and pastries that make you grow tall
Forests and cottages
Castles and cards that can talk
Welcome to wonderland look where you're at
The maddest of hatters the Cheshire cat
Magical cabins and lovely white rabbits with clocks
Hes looking at me with a spell bound look in his eyes. Hes smiling a little bit but hes just looking at me like I'm the greatest thing in the world.
Dancing through a dream underneath the stars
Laughing when the morning comes
Everyone that leaves has a heavy heart Oh wonderland I love
Welcome to wonderland I'll be your guide
Holding your hand under sapphire skies
Lets go exploring or we could just go for a walk
Welcome to Wonderland
Where should we go?
There's a tea party along down the road
Make an appearance and maybe they'll sing us a song
He looks at the notebook in front of me, normally I would kill anyone who went near it but with this boy all of my walls fall and all of the rules change.
He starts singing along to the chorus with me. His voice makes me smile a little bit.
Dancing through a dream
Underneath the stars
Laughing 'til the morning comes
Everyone that leaves has a heavy heart
Oh, Wonderland I love
We look at eachother as we sing and dont look away. Some strange voice in the back of my head tells me that I dont ever wanna look away.
We finish the song and I look away blushing.
"Its not much. Just a stupid little song I wrote when I was like 13."
"No it's great. It's really great. Exceptional actually."
I laugh. I seem to do that alot when hes around.
"So why wonderland?"
I look up at him.
"Hmm?"
"Why wonderland?" He asks again.
"Oh. I wrote it for one of my best friends. Hes like two years older that me and my brothers friend. Hes known me since I was one. I used to be obsessed with Alice in Wonderland, I watched it so much that everyone used to leave the room when i would turn it on. He was the only one who would watch it with me. He used to say that i was just like alice. I dont think i am anymore though. I'm not the same little girl I was back then."
"Well I think you're a bit like alice. Not the animated one though."
I look at him, visible confusion forming over the features of my face.
"They made another movie like a decade ago. Then they made a sequel a couple years after that. We can watch them sometime if you like." He offers.
"That sounds nice." I say smiling.
We're just looking at eachother. Neither of us moving.
After a minute I clear my throat and look down at the ground.
What is happening to me?
I think to my self.
"Well I should probably go." He says, not taking his eyes off of me for a second.
"Maybe." I say.
"Do you not want me to?" He asks.
"Do you want to?" I ask getting some of my usual moxy back.
"Not really." He says, looking down for a moment before his eyes flutter up to me.
I dont know how it happened or what part if my brain decided to do this. I dont know what he was thinking either. It just happened.
We kissed.
It was sweet and gentle, but passionate. His hand moves to my cheek and my hand moves to his neck.
When we finally pull away it feels like the world is spinning.
"What was that?" I ask, a teasing tone in my voice.
"That was unexpected and- I just- woah." He stutters making me giggle.
Suddenly I come back to reality.
"Dont you have a girlfriend?" I ask him.
"I broke up with her." He says.
"Really?" I ask him.
"Yep."
"Why?"
"Shes not good for me and shes not the best oerson to be around." He says.
"Well I'm glad."
"And why is that?" He says playing dumb.
"I'm not saying out loud." I say smiling.
"Well are you not saying what I want you to say?"
"That makes no sense." I say.
He laughs and suddenly the door slams open.
I see reggie standing there fuming.
"Why didnt you tell me?" He says loudly but is careful not to yell.
"Wait what's going on?" Nick asks.
"Nick I think that maybe you should go." I say.
"Wait why? What's going on?" He asks.
"Nothing bad, I promise. I just really need you to leave."
He nods. He kisses me on the forehead and walks out.
"What are you talking about?" I ask reggie.
"You know what I'm talking about." Than it hits me.
"How did you find out?" I say afraid that luke told him.
He pulls out an old faded newspaper and shows it to me.
I look to see a picture of me that was taken just before the boys died.
Almina Olivia Grey Gomez
(Okay so that's not reggies last name but I dont know it so I made one up)
Will be joined in heaven by her brother, friends, and unborn child.
She was loved deeply by all people who met her and will be missed greatly.
It was short and sweet but said more than I cared for people to know about me.
I'm shaking. I drop the paper.
"Why didnt you tell me?" Reggie whispers. Hes angry at me.
"I couldn't. I dont know why but I just couldn't. It hurt so much and I just- i dont know."
I'm breaking. Slowly but surely.
He sees this before I let myself show it and walks over and holds me up.
Making sure I dont fall. I cry for the hundredth time over this.
You would think it wouldn't hurt as much but it just hurt more.
Julie walks in and sees this scene playing out before her.
She gives reggie a confused look and he hands her the newspaper.
She reads it and hugs me.
"Everythings okay. It'll be alright."
"It hurts." I sob.
"I know. I know it does."
