"Blake why would you do that!" Alex complained as they appeared outside of the studio.

"Alex, Julie is clearly upset and as much as we want to cheer her up, we are just a cloud of air that can play music." Blake said, looking at the boy sternly.

"You know what.. I think you poofed us out of there because you can't handle when other people are upset." Alex said to the girl, Luke and Reggie taking a step back.

Blake shook her head and laughed. "Alex of course I can't! You think I like to see people upset?! Sorry that dealing with other peoples emotions isn't my strongest hobby." She said, poofing away from the three boys.

"Wha-" Alex stuttered, seeing the place where Blake last stood empty.

"Let's just leave her alone for a bit. I'm not ready to deal with an angry ghost right now.." Luke said, looking at the two others and fixing his jacket. "But why do you think Julie lied about her singing?"

"It probably has something to do with her mom.." Alex said, noticing the song she was singing was the one her mom wrote.

"Once we get the courage to go in there.. we've gotta ask her about it.." Luke said, Reggie nodding to agree.

Their conversation was interrupted by two car doors shutting and two girls coming towards the studio.

"Hey Quinn!" Reggie said with a smile towards his new friend.

"Hey. What are you guys doing out here? Is Blake inside?" The blonde girl asked, looking for her sister.

Alex nervously laughed. "Heh. Um she's actually mad at me right now and she left. BUT Julie sang and sounded great." He said, Quinn's eyes going wide.

"She sang?! Oh god I gotta get Flynn out of there before she shares her whole sob story she told me." Quinn said, running into the studio to find the girls.

"Come on, let's listen." Reggie said, smirking as he peeked through the window.

Blake roamed around the streets of los Feliz, still trying to get used to the newer atmosphere.

She approached the only high school where she went, hesitantly stepping inside to see what's new.

"What the hell.." she said to herself, seeing some girls in furry blue outfits and ridiculous hats. Blake giggled, continuing around the school.

It was overall the same thing, just newer people obviously and new colors everywhere. "Finally." She said, noticing the disgusting red lockers that used to be there were replaced with cleaner blue ones.

She went up to the music room, seeing the new music teacher there. She seemed like a nice lady, nothing like her old music teacher, miss Karen.

it was only half an hour until Blake stopped waking around the school, freezing as she stood in front of the girls bathroom, main floor.

A flashback ran through her mind as she remembered every detail of what Michael did to her. Her hands covering the spots where she got touched.

Of course the one thing she had hoped would change didn't. The design of the bathroom. It made her flashback even worse.

The girl slowly began to feel tears running down her face, not doing anything to hide them because of the fact she's dead and no one can see her.

As Blake was long into her thoughts, an arm went over her and scared her.

As she jumped, she saw it was only Luke coming to find her, probably concerned about what was going on.

"Sorry bubs." He said, feeling the girl hug him tightly. "What's wrong?" He asked.

Blake shook her head. "Michael. Flashback." Was all she could say through her various tears and sobs.

Luke frowned and hugged her back, rubbing her hair back into place and kissing her head.

The two stood there for a while, holding onto each other for as long as they needed. "Ok, let's go back to the other two before they burn down the studio. And Alex hasn't stopped pacing around the place because he feels bad." Luke said with a small laugh.

Blake nodded, taking Luke's hand and poofing back to the studio.

"Blake!" Alex said, seeing the brunette girl come back and hugging her. "I'm sorry for snapping.."

Blake nodded her head. "It's ok Alex, I didn't get any sleep so I would've snapped at everyone I spoke to." She said, giggling at the boy.

Alex nodded, examining the girls face. He noticed the bags under her eyes, along with a slight puffiness.. something that usually happens to the girl when she cries. All of the boys knew it, considering they've known her forever.

"Did something else happen?" Alex asked, peeking over at Luke and seeing him look away. "One of you better tell us."

"Yeah come on, who can we possibly tell?" Reggie said, waving his hands and chuckling.

"I was walking around the school and I just like.. froze in front of the bathroom where the Michael thing happened." Blake said, shaking her head.

"Oh." Her two friends said, looking at Luke to see the saddened expression.

Blake walked over to the couch, laying down and shutting her eyes. "Ok, if I don't get sleep nothing will go right for any of us.. so I'll be here." She said with a smile.

"Yeah, I don't want to get yelled at next.." Reggie said, looking at the two boys, then to Blake.

Luke smiled at the girl, lifting a blanket over her so she couldn't get cold, even though it was almost always hot in California.

It didn't take Blake long to fall asleep, the security she felt as the boys stayed in the room helped her keep her calm. Besides.. no one can hurt a dead person.. right?
