Inseparable

chapter 46

I couldn't sleep so here is another chapter. I also just wanted to mention as I've gotten a few DM's about this. This is a Juke fanfic. Not Willex or Reylnn. As much as I ship them this story centers around Luke and Julie. If I don't include enough of your favourite ship or characters, go read another fanfic. 

Carrie's POV

I'm going through some old boxes of stuff. I come across a picture frame covered in a thick layer of dust. I pick it up and analyze it. It's me, Dad, and mom from when I was two. I start tearing up. 

My mom walked out on us when I was 4, I don't remember her well but it still hurts. I guess that's why when I learnt that Rose was terminal I couldn't handle it. 

I smash the frame, grab another box and walk away staying strong. "Not today," I say looking in the mirror that I have in my room. 

The box is not heavy but not light. I didn't see it at the time, but it's labelled 'Sunset Curve"

 I open it up and see a black with white striped t-shirt and a leather vest, seems vintage. Must've been Dad's. I shuffle through the box and see a white band shirt. "Sunset Curve?" I mutter out loud. 

That band sounds so firmiliar. I put the shirt down and shuffle through the box some more. I find a CD from that same band. I look at the back and it talks briefly about the band. 

"Lead Singer, Guitarist, Songwriter: Luke. Bassist: Reggie. Rhythm Guitarist: Bobby. Drummer: Alex" I whisper to myself. Those names sound once again so familiar. I shake it off and keep looking. Those are popular names, right?

That's when I find a clipping of a newspaper. I look at the date. July 23, 1995. I read the title "Sunset Curve: A Hollywood Tragedy" I look through the article, three of the guys died due to food poisoning at age 17.

How sad, I can't imagine dying this young. I look at the article picture and almost scream. These are the Phantoms and my Dad. What the hell. 

I know my Dad told me he was in a band in the mid-'90s but he told me they just broke up. That's against the point. Those guys are alive, not dead. Full-on alive.

 "DAAAAD" I scream.

"What's wrong baby?" He says coming into my room. I shove the newspaper into his arms and cross my arms. "What's this," I ask him in a cold tone.  "I can't tell you, baby, I'm not allowed," He says walking out, dropping the paper. 

After thinking for a few minutes I make a plan, I know how to get to the bottom of this. 

Julie's POV

Me and Luke are chilling in the studio. That's when we hear a knock on the studio doors. Luke jumps up and opens the door.  He freezes like a deer in headlights. "Carrie?" He says standing out of her way. 

"Move pretty boy, Julie we need to talk," She says shifting her weight to one side. "Ok what's up, whatever you say you can say to Luke" She scoffs. "Who is Sunset Curve," She says in a sassy tone. 

"How do you know about them?" Luke chimes in. "Was going through old stuff,  so how are you here, alive, breathing?" She says giving Luke a side-eye. 

I laugh "Carrie you're delusional, Luke was born in 2003 like all of us" I chuckle. 

Carrie walks up to me and pushes a piece of paper into my hands. "Unless your band is identical to their fathers and have the same names, explain that" I look at the paper and it's the original copy of the article I found online. 

"Shit" I mutter. "Busted, so wanna explain all of this or should I just expose you for doing some creepy taxidermy shit?" Carrie says pulling out her phone. 

"Julie just tell her, it won't hurt anyone. Besides anyone would be able to figure it out with some digging" Luke says sitting down. "Fine, but promise to keep it secret" Carrie nods. 

We start explaining our story, Carrie seems in awe. "So that's what happened," I say stopping at our original performance at the Orpheum. She just needs to know the bare minimum.

"So you can touch him and see him constantly, but I can't touch him or see him if he didn't want me to? Weird" Carrie says passing her hand through Luke's shoulder. We answer most of her questions. Some get a little personal. 

After a while, we walk Carrie out, "Well one more person knows now," I say falling onto the couch. "She won't say anything ok?" He says lifting my head to sit down. "We will be fine, besides what's the worse that can happen if she blabs her mouth," Luke says playing with my hair. 

I don't know but I have a bad feeling regardless.

Ok heading to bed now, like I said, I wasn't able to sleep so I wrote this. Thank you for 6.1K views. Have a good night Fantoms. I'd love to hear what you guys think Carrie will do now that she knows this information. Also, I just thought that having Carrie's mom having walked out makes more sense why she is a bitch at times. 

NIGHT FANTOMS!
