The Missing

Sweet Night

"We all make mistakes. Don't let that be the reason you give up on somebody." 

~☠️~🌹~☠️~

"One more time." Luke said as he, Reggie, and Julie were practicing for their next gig, and as they finished the last chord that was when Alex decided to join the trio. 

"Oh, hey Alex." Reggie said, announcing his presence. 

"Where have you been? We need to start practicing."

Alex being confused looked at the three. "Yeah? For What?" Just before any of them could answer, Flynn decided to make her appearance with a joyful smile on her face. "Dance news! I don't have a date, but I don't care because I'm so psyched to see you guys perform." 

"Oh man! We're playing a dance?" Alex questioned, not enjoying the gig that they got as he looked towards his friends. Luke falling back onto the chair behind him, looked at his friend. "Of course, dude. That's how we get a following nowadays." Quoting what Julie had said earlier to him when he had also complained about the news. 

Julie smiled at the boy, letting out a brief chuckle. "Yeah, get with the program, Alex." 

"What!" Flynn exclaimed, "The guys are here? Hey, guys!" She happily started waving towards nothing, not realizing she was facing the wrong way. "Other way, sweetie." Julie stated, causing the girl to let out an oh, before waving the correct way, Reggie happily doing it back to the slightly embarrassed girl. 

After raising an eyebrow towards the girl, looked back at the band. "Ok, well,now that Alex has raced us with his presence, can we start working?" He asked, wanting to perfect the song more. 

"Yes!" Julie looked over towards her friend with a smile. "We're gonna rehearse, you wanna stick around?" 

"I'm suppose to blow up 500 balloons for the school dance, but this sounds way better." Flynn stated, earning a weird glance from Alex. Yet, before the band could get ready, Carlos ran into the garage going through Alex. 

"Hey, Julie! Remember those orbs in Mom's pictures?" He asked, looking at his sister as he placed the photo down on her keyboard. "I think they're ghosts, but don't worry. This room is clean." After looking all around the room, and not 'sensing' anything. "I'm not getting the ghost tinglies." 

Reggie smirked at the little guy. "Wrong again, little dude." 

Luke on the other hand couldn't help but smile bitter-sweetly, at the kid as he couldn't help but remember the same optimistic viewpoint his little sister had for the supernatural. How he would always embark on ghost hunting adventures with the guys every October, due to it being the most spiritual month of the year, at least that's what Em use to believe. It even made him laugh a little when Carlos produced a salt shaker from his pocket, as he remembered how much salt was wasted on that specific month because his sister believe that was the only way to protect them from evil ghouls and ghosts. 

Yet, it slowly disappeared when he slowly reminded himself that he was in fact now a ghost, as he quickly brought his feet up from getting hit with the white grains, while watching Alex get hit and being overdramatic as usual. 

Julie rolled her eyes before gesturing for Flynn to help distract Carlos with her head. "Oh! Carlos, you know who's hungry? Me, salt me a path to the kitchen." With a smile, the two of them left leaving Julie and her ghost bandmates to themselves. "Shall we try this again?"
