That night
"Are you guys ready?" I say coming into the garage. I see the boys clutching in pain "are y'all okay?"

"We're okay, Julie really" Luke says standing up.

"okay, we're about to go on" i say, my voice more a whisper.

"then you better get out there" alex says encouraging me. I smile and then my eyes meet with Lukes. His smile grows and i blush. I feel butterflies inside me.

Friends

We're just friends

thats what i tell myself

"we're gonna kill it" I say and close the door.


"Time to put your hands up, do a little dance yup. Here's the new athem from Julie and the Phantoms" Flynn yells opening the garage doors.

I start to play....

Running from the past
Tripping on the now
What is lost can be found, it's obvious


And like a rubber ball
We come bouncing back
We all got a second act, inside of us

They boys come in and I stand up. I see Luke out of the corner of my eye.
Focus Julie.

I believe
I believe that we're just one dream
Away from who we're meant to be
That we're standing on the edge of
Something big, something crazy
Our best days are yet unknown
That this moment is ours to own

'Cause we're standing on the edge of great
(On the edge of great) great
(On the edge of great) great
(On the edge of great)
'Cause we're standing on the edge of great
I turn around ignoring Luke. The best way to stay friends with him is not get that close or lock eyes. None of that. No no no

We all make mistakes
But they're just stepping stones
To take us where we wanna go
It's never straight, no
He tilts his head to me as a motion for me to go over. I dodge it and move around the piano singing to the crowd.

Sometimes we gotta lean
Lean on someone else
To get a little help
Until we find our way

I believe
I believe that we're just one dream
Away from who we're meant to be
That we're standing on the edge of
Something big, something crazy
Our best days are yet unknown
That this moment is ours to own

'Cause we're standing on the edge of great
(On the edge of great) great
(On the edge of great) great
(On the edge of great)
'Cause we're standing on the edge of-

I sit on the edge of the piano and sing.

Shout, shout
C'mon and let it out, out
Don't gotta hide it
Let your colors blind their eyes
Be who you are, no compromise

Just shout, shout
C'mon and let it out, out
What doesn't kill you makes you feel alive
Oh-oh
I stand on my knees, singing the lyrics and then I hear a guitar solo.

I believe
I believe that we're just one dream
Away from who we're meant to be
That we're standing on the edge of greatSomething big, something crazy
Our best days are yet unknown
That this moment is ours to own

Me and Luke lock eyes, I can't help but smile which makes his face go from serious to a big grin.

'Cause we're standing on the edge of great
(On the edge of great) on the edge of great
(Great, on the edge of great) on the edge
(Great, on the edge of great)
'Cause we're standing on the edge of-

I jump down from the piano and sit back down. The guys disappear but then Luke is beside me. Singing with me. Oh god, I'm falling again.

Running from the past
Tripping on the now
What is lost can be found, it's obvious

Later that night
I'm laying on my bed. I can't sleep, that performance was amazing. It felt great to be up there infront of everyone.

"Hey Jules" Luke says making me jump a little.

"Luke"

"We need to talk" he says sitting beside me.

"About?" I ask. Like I don't know

"Julie, you know what"

"It was just a kiss. A meaningless kiss between to friends" I say motioning between us. He rolls his eyes and stands up walking around my room. I stand up too following him.

"What, are we not friends?" I ask, partly yelling.

"No Julie. We aren't friends. We're more and you doing admit it"

"Just friends"

"I don't wanna be just friends" he says and the gets hits with a jolt throwing him back into my door.

"Luke" I say running to him "are you okay?"

"Yeah, yeah I'm okay" he says in pain.

"I wish I could do something to help you Luke. It hurts seeing you in pain like this" I say sitting beside him.

"Jules, me and the boys have a plan"

A plan... here we go
