***4 DAYS LATER***

Julie's Pov

As Dad helps me pack up the stuff I am being told about how to properly take care of my dumb boot. "Yeah I understand," I say to the doctor explaining it to me. "Looks like someone is getting discharged today," Luke says leaning against the door frame. 

"Hey Luke," I say getting up carefully. The doctor helps me up. "You shouldn't be out of bed young man" The doctor scolds Luke. "Sorry" he mopes back to his room. 

"Come back in two weeks to see your ankles progress, stay off of it as best you can," The doctor says handing me my crutches. "Bye Doctor Miller," I say as we walk out. 

Dad drives me home and I head straight up to my room. I just want to relax in my own bed. 


LUKE'S POV 

Reggie and I are hanging out in my room. "I'm escaping today," I say matter of factly. "We are escaping a hospital? FUN!" Reggie says from his chair getting excited. "Is that the best idea?" Alex says coming back into the room from his short walk. 

"Why not? I'm already dead. They are keeping me for no reason" I say complaining. "Besides this bed is so uncomfortable and I want to see Julie. Every time I go to see her, somebody yells at me" I groan. "Come on Alex, we are doing it with or without you," Reggie says standing up. 

Alex rolls his eyes. "Fine, but if we get caught I will throw both of you under the bus," He says seriously. "Party pooper" Reggie mutters. "Whatever, you have a plan?" Alex says sitting down on a chair. 

"Ok, here it is," I say explaining the plan to Alex that Reggie and I made up. 


ALEX'S POV

After Luke explains the plan to us I seriously consider backing out. "Remember, I will throw both of you under the bus if it comes to that" I groan. 

Me and Reggie head out to a hallway far enough from the door. To bring people away from Luke's route to the door. 

"You ready?" Reggie says to me, I nod. We decided to stage a fight and when security gets here we will poof out. 

To avoid Reggie's PTSD with his parents fighting we scripted what we would say. After a few minutes of quietly fighting I raise my voice to the level that doesn't affect him. 

"Someone call security" I hear a nurse say. It's working. I look over at the clock, Luke said to get him 10 minutes tops. It's been 5. 

After a few minutes of fake fighting, we see security. I nod to Reggie and we both poof into the studio. After a few more minutes, Luke walks in. "It worked boys," Luke says setting down some of his stuff. 

"Luke, you realize that you could have just poofed outright?" I say realizing our mistake. Both Luke and Reggie realize what we did wrong. "Well I mean our plan worked" Reggie shrugs. 

"Fair point," I say. We all start laughing. "So where is Julie?" Luke asks. "In her room, due to her foot she doesn't want to go anywhere" I chuckle. "Lazybones," Reggie says under her breath. 

"Hey shut it, we were in a pretty bad crash. I don't judge her for wanting to stay in bed" Luke snaps back at him. Reggie rolls his eyes. "Boyfriend Luke is back," He says sarcastically. 

"Boyfriend Luke is back, shut up" Luke mocks Reggie. "Realize that your girlfriend wears the pants in your relationship" I chuckle directing to Reggie.

"Shut up!" Reggie jokingly yells at us. Luke drops the rest of his stuff from the hospital onto the ground. He gives us a playful salute and poofs away. 

"You know Willie wears the pants too," Reggie says to me. "I think we both do," I say in a higher-pitched voice (Think the, "I think we were all pretty upset" line in episode 1) 


JULIE'S POV 

I'm laying in bed, I'm on my phone scrolling through Instagram. I realize that we have two gigs in the next few weeks. With the doctor's instructions, I'm not allowed to perform. I head to the official Julie and the Phantoms Instagram. 

Hi Fantoms! I don't mean to worry you guys but the other day Luke and I got into an accident. We are both ok and well. But I broke my ankle, due to doctor's orders we aren't allowed to perform till my cast is off. Unfortunately, this means our shows at the park need to be cancelled.

I look up and smile. "Guess you managed to sneak out" I chuckle. "It was nothing," He says sitting down onto my ottoman. "So you cancelled our shows," He says looking at his phone. I nod. "Yeah with this dumbass boot I can't perform," I say gesturing to my propped-up foot. 

"Thought so," He says picking up a pillow and hugging it. "So um what is going on with us?" I say sitting up straight. He shakes his head "I mean I don't consider what went on with us a breakup. We didn't break up in person so it didn't happen" He laughs. 

I nod "Ok then. Um, so I guess we are still together?" I chuckle. He laughs "I mean I was willing to die for you" I roll my eyes. "YOU'RE ALREADY DEAD" I yell playfully at him. "It's the thought that counts!" He says, his voice going higher pitched. "I just think we should have a more serious conversation later" He suggests. I nod my head in agreement. 

We go silent for a minute. "This is awkward" I laugh. "Um yeah, wanna be left alone or something?" He asks me, I nod. "Uh yeah sure," I say smiling at him. 


I lay in bed for hours. I can't get up that easily and when I do I need to use my crutches which I hate using. 

Around 8 pm Flynn comes over. "Julie tell me everything!" She says bursting into my room.  "Ok well um-"

I tell her every little detail about what happened with Nick, the cheating allegations, the car, the car crash. Everything. Flynn had been busy with school all week and I haven't had enough energy to tell her before. 

"Ok, so you guys broke up and are back together now right?" She clarifies after I talk for almost an hour straight. I chuckle. "Im pretty sure yeah. Your little Juke heart will be whole" I laugh at her.

"Well, will you be back at school on Monday?" Flynn says pouting. "I'm not sure, I am still in a decent amount of pain being without the extreme pain killers," I say laughing lightly. 

"By the way, Reggie said he missed you" I wink at her. Flynn rolls her eyes. "Shush" She starts blushing. "Just because my relationship is rocky right now doesn't mean you need to be unhappy" I laugh. She smiles. "Ok but your relationship isn't rocky, you guys are perfect together" 

I roll my eyes. "Just go be with him" I laugh. She happily skips off down to the studio. 

Do I envy how happy she is right now? A little, but I'm happy for her.
