Secretly known

(let's ignore this poor animation. It's my first try)

Reggie's POV

We just performed "Finally Free". It was fun. It was super fun. Even a manager came up to us. The one Carrie was trying to impress but funnily enough failed. She deserved that after trying anything she can think of to make Julie feel worse about herself.

Julie does not need someone constantly trying to pull her down. Especially not Carrie. I don't know. I don't like her and I certainly won't let her hurt my friend. She is like a little sister to me. Am I even older than her? Obviously, I was born before her, but technically I didn't age for 25 years and won't age anymore because I'm well dead... How old is Julie?

Anyways.

We are back together with Julie. She has forgiven us and I'm extremely happy about that. I didn't want her to be mad at us forever. I don't know whether I could've handled that.  Stuff like that stresses me out.

Luke, Alex, and I are currently sitting in Julie's living room because her Dad busted her because she wasn't allowed to go to our gig and Luke convinced her to sneak out. Who could've known her Dad would find out about it? I honestly wonder how he even found out. I don't think he knows about the band. At least that's what I think Julie told us. I could be wrong though.

"You can't hide forever, ghosties", Elli says while coming in the room holding a tablet. This is about to get interesting. By the way, yes, I know her name. I didn't know it for quite a while but I use her computer a lot and her username has Elli in it, so I assume that's what her name is.

Julie never calls her by her name when I'm around. She only ever says something along the lines of my sister or my little sister.

I use Elli's computer to get inspirations for new songs. It doesn't matter whether it is rock or country. Those are my two loves.

I still want to do "home is where my horse is" with the boys. Julie can join us, too if she wants to. It doesn't matter as long as we actually do it. Luke always refuses to do it. Someday... Someday I'll be able to convince him.

Elli seems like a truly nice person. Nice is often not a compliment but in this case it honestly is. I just don't know her really well. That's all. Not yet.

Her aunt is there too. She is very caring. Sometimes arguably a little too much but that's understandable. Who doesn't want a caring and loving family? That's all I've ever wanted. And I got my wish. I met Luke and Alex.

I love how Elli is always trying to prove that ghosts- well we- are real. It's kind of cute to see how passionate she gets about certain things.

Her aunt doesn't believe her.

"Typical adult", I say to  Luke and Alex, "Do you remember when we were kids and they never believed what we said?"

My parent rarely believed anything I said. Most of the time the both of them were busy fighting right in front of me. So, there is that.

Alex then tells me, "I'm pretty sure that's just a you thing. I was always pretty trustworthy".

Wait really? This isn't normal? That wasn't normal? I thought it was. I thought it is. I guess I didn't even get that part of my life right. Why can't I get anything right? Seriously, what did I do so all this stuff always happens to me? I don't understand it. I just want a normal life. But I will never be able to have a normal life considering I'm a dead ghost who is in a band with two other dead ghosts and one living human girl. How can that be normal?

"Shouldn't we be more worried about Julie?", Luke asks. Of course, he would be the one to say this. He is clearly in love with her or to not overestimate the situation he at least loves her. He might not tell her that, but everyone can see it. Everyone but the two of them.

Why do these things always have to be this complicated? I say just go for what you want. Obviously, I know that that is easier said than done, but like I said it is obvious they like each other, so why not just try?

There isn't much we can do to help Julie right now due to the fact she isn't even here. That is also what I tell Luke. I also tell him that we can still help Elli.

She is talking to her aunt.

"Adults not believing children end tonight", I add. As mentioned before, my parents rarely believed me. When they did, they blamed each other. That was always pretty tough. At least I have Luke and Alex. They were and are always there for me. I don't know if Elli has friends like that, so I'll be that person- or ghost- for that.

Not that she would know that but still.

"Showtime", with that I turn of the light.

Her aunt makes up some excuse for that to happen. "Wrong answer" This isn't over yet. I can do better.

I continue doing other stuff when I hear her say "This is a work of a demon". Hey... words hurt.

Even though I did not take this to hurt, words really can hurt. They really really can. Sometimes words can hurt more than actions.

"I've got to get it on video" Elli throws in.

Yeah, she does.

"Time for an old classic"

I take a white sheet and put it over myself knowing it'll look like a ghost or to be more correct like some people thing ghosts look like. I think we've established that that is not the case, and someone just made that up.

"Dang, it was in selfie mode". Her aunt screams and runs out of the living room taking Elli with her. This was actually pretty fun. I enjoy Elli's company, even though she can't see me. That's too bad. I think we'd have a lot of fun together.

I turn to Alex and Luke, who look at me angrily. Luke looks more like an angry puppy, but we're just going to ignore that.

Then it hits me.

Julie is going to be mad at me. I don't want her to be mad at me again. The other night was bad enough. I got serious flashbacks from my parents. I don't think I can take that again.

I jump up and run to the garage.

Let's hope Julie won't find out.

A/N

Hey guys!

We are almost at the end of season one and I can't wait for that. I will continue the story after season one because that it the point where all the fun begins.

I have plenty of ideas right now, so I'm exited to keep this going.

Also I'm sorry if there a major mistakes in this. I didn't have time to look through all of it.

Love you!
