***WEEK LATER***

Alex's Pov

Luke and Julie have been all over each other lately, it kinda grosses me out. If I'm being completely honest, Im worried. I haven't heard anything from Willie since the last time I saw him last week, he never ghosts me like that anymore. 

So I guess seeing Luke and Julie so happy together kinda pisses me off. 

I'm worried that I may have said something to Willie, my mind keeps retracing everything I said and did when I was with him... nothing ... I don't think I did anything wrong. 


It's around noon, Julie is at school. Reggie and Luke are trying to write new stuff, they're having a hard time. I'm pacing around the studio, I know I'm overthinking this but I can't shake the feeling I must have done something wrong. 

"And we're on the runway," Luke says noticing my pacing. "What's wrong dude?" Reggie asks. 

I take a deep breath "I haven't heard anything from Willie since the other night, I'm worried I did something wrong" I say slumping down onto the couch crossing my arms. 

Luke comes and sits next to me. "Then let's find him," He says enthusiastically. I sigh, Luke always wants to find a solution, most of the time. 

"What if Willie is hurt, or something happened to him" I burst out, I have a tendency to think of the worst-case scenario. 

Would I rather Willie be physically hurt than he is upset with me?  

"Come on let's go," Reggie says throwing a red flannel over his t-shirt "Let's go find your boyfriend" He laughs. They both seem to calm about this.  


We poof over to where Me and Willie met when he slammed into me. "Alex you know Willie best, where are someplace he could be?" Luke asks me. 

We all split up going to find him, I take the street, Reggie goes down to the park, and Luke heads to the Museum. "We will find him," I tell myself after the guys leave to go search. 

I wanted to go to the museum myself but I couldn't bring myself to a place so special to us.


Lukes POV

Alex tells me to head down to the museum to look, I thought Alex should have looked here but maybe it would cause more anxiety. 

Really I'm super nervous, I'm supposed to officially meet Julies Dad tonight. After we accidentally outed ourselves to the world with that Perfect Harmony video, he wanted to meet me. 

As I'm looking around I hear a poof noise behind me, I turn hoping it will be Willie. It's not. 


"Nick?" I say out of disbelief, how can Julie's classmate do that? Last I checked Nick was a lifer, he couldn't have died. 

"Well, hello Lucas" I've only heard one person call me that before, other than my parents when I was little. "Caleb?" I mutter under my breath, I guess not quiet enough as he hears me.

"So you guess you caught me" He laughs, I puff my chest out slightly to appear larger. I hate the way Caleb talks, even more now that it's coming from a 17-year-old kid. 

"Now you will do as I say, or I might take a little visit to see your little girl, what's her name? Julie Molina?" He says to me seriously. 

My heart drops

"If you touch her I swear I wi-" he cuts me off before I could finish "Such hostility," He says in a hushed tone. I take a deep breath in, I can't let this lunatic hurt her. 

"You are coming with me," Caleb says as he grabs my arm, and poofs us out of the museum. 


Alex's POV

We had agreed that if after 2 hours we found nothing we would meet back at the studio. Reggie was already there when I poofed back, Luke must be running late. 

"Nothing?" Reggie asks sympathetically. I shake my head, "Maybe Luke is having better luck" Reggie says, He's just trying to make me feel better. I just sit on the couch, Reggie sits next to me

Maybe Willie is gone

After around an hour of waiting in silence around for Luke a familiar voice walks through the studio doors "Hey Guys" Julie says waving at us, she seems happier than normal. "Where is Luke, we have dinner in almost an hour," She asks looking around. 

"He should be back soon," Reggie says as he continues to comfort me. Julies expression shifts, "Alex what happened," She asks kneeling in front of me. 

"I don't wanna talk about it" I mutter. Reggie looks at Julie and mouths 'Ill tell you later' and she nods. Maybe Luke is having better luck than me.


Julies POV

It seems like only a second but when I look at my watch its almost time for dinner, Luke can get distracted easily but is never this late for things, well except for that school dance. 

I text Flynn to see if she's heard anything from him, she hasn't. Now with Alex worrying,  I am too. 

"Mija dinner" I hear my Dad call out from the house. Shit. I lightly kiss Alex on the forehead as I run out back home. "Where's Luke," My dad asks as I run through the doors. 

What do I tell him? My boyfriend stood us up? 

"He is feeling sick today, can't make it. He apologizes" I lie, I hate lying to my Dad but it's what I need to do to keep the guy's identity safe.


 We eat dinner and make light conversation, my dad asking more and more questions about Luke and the guys, probably stuff he would have directly asked Luke. 

After dinner, I head back down to the studio. Nothing, Luke hasn't gotten back. According to Reggie, they went out to look for Willie 3 hours before I got home. That means Luke has been missing for 8 hours now.

 Morning! Well its more like afternoon now, I had a bunch of stuff come up which caused me to take forever to write this but its finally done. Im trying out different formating, I feel like this works better, also makes the chapter seem longer in my opinion. I feel like, after rereading some old chapters, there are some plot wholes missing so please point them out if I'm missing anything. I have horrible memory skills.
