Inseparable

chapter 71

LUKE'S POV

All three of us are left speechless. "What just happened?" Alex says looking shocked. "DID YOU REALLY HAVE TO DO THAT?" I yell at Alex. If it weren't for him, Julie would still be here, wouldn't have kicked us out or left the band. 

"I'm sorry but while you were distracted by Julie's little attitude problem, I was noticing Reggie's trauma and PTSD kicking in so yes I'm sorry for helping my friend I've known much longer than her!" Alex says pointing at Reg. 

I look at Reggie with sympathy. "I'm sorry really sorry," I say honestly "We just need to figure out what's up with her," I say sitting down on the couch. 

"Maybe do it somewhere else? Demon girl might come back" Reggie says calmly. I don't fight back the snarky nickname for Julie, he isn't wrong. 

*THUD*

We hear a noise come from outside the studio. We all exchange looks and jump up from our spots. We walk outside to see Julie fallen unconscious on the steps towards the house. "Julie!" I shout as I run towards her. I need to make sure she didn't get seriously hurt.  

JULIE'S POV

I wake up in a bed I don't recognize. It looks like a master bedroom. I sit up and I don't even recognize the clothing I'm in. What is going on?

 I look and there is a huge walk-in closet. A few platinum records on the walls, I can't see for what albums and an en-suite bathroom, I see a figure in there and hear the buzzing of an electric toothbrush with some running water. 

"Morning Mrs. Patterson," Luke says walking out of the bathroom. "What's going on?" I say looking at him.  Luke walks over to the bed and sits down. "Well, you were having a nightmare last night. Maybe that threw you off a little" He says kissing my forehead. 

I look down and see my hands, then notice the wedding ring on my finger. "Ten years next week" He smiles. "TEN YEARS" I yell. Luke looks shocked. "Yes, Julie. Ten years ago we got married after our year-long engagement. Are you ok?" He says feeling my forehead for a fever. 

As I'm about to respond, a small child runs into our room. Looks around four or five. "Morning sweetheart," Luke says smiling widely as he picks the girl up. "Morning Daddy," She says giggling. "Dad? Like father? Like your kid?" I say in even more shock.

"Is Mommy ok?" She says looking at me. "You know what Rose? I'm not sure" Luke laughs.

 Rose? Like Mom?

 Then we get interrupted yet again by a loud cry. "Oh yeah, that's why I came in here. Lexi is awake" Rose says in her high-pitched voice. 

Luke looks at me. "You should go feed your other daughter" He laughs. "Oh right," I say getting out of bed. 

As I walk out of the room I look at the platinum records on the walls. Julie and the Phantoms. Dated from 2030. "What is going on?" I say quietly as I walk towards the crying baby. 

"Hi there," I say walking into Lexi's room. I look on the wall and see that her name is Alexandra spelt out in large letters. "Alexandra? Like Alex? What is happening here baby" I say picking the little girl up. She appears to be around nine months old.

That's when I look into the full-body mirror. I look like an adult. Luke still looks seventeen. I shake it off again and head downstairs to grab some food for the baby. (You can start babies on food at 6 months btw)
