The Hollywood Phantom |Julie and the Phantoms| (COMPLETED)

Chapter 24

I arrive at the studio and see Reggie sitting on the couch by himself. He sighs as his hands are shaking while holding a phone. I wonder what he's doing. Is he trying to talk to the boys, or Julie? And that's when my question was answered. I look down at my phone and notice his contact showing up. Oh no, what do I do? I can't let him know I'm here! Not yet, at least. I click the green button and put the phone to my ear.

"Hi, you have reached Emma Patterson! Unfortunately, I am unavailable right now. Please leave a message after the beep!" I whisper. I make a beep noise before Reggie speaks up.

"Hey, Emma. Umm, sorry to bother, but I just wanted to say I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything that you've been through. I know I can't completely understand what happened because I'm not you, and I don't feel what you feel. But, I will always be there for you. No matter how dark the sky is, or how bright the sun is. I will never hesitate to come over. I know things have been tough recently, but we will fight through this together. We will do whatever it takes to bring you back. And, if all fails, so be it. That doesn't change the way I see you. And it never has. L-Look, words can't exactly describe what I want to say to you right now. With that being said, this song is written for you."

He places the phone down and puts it on speaker mode. I hide behind the door of the studio and he begins tuning his guitar. The first notes begin playing as he takes a deep breath.

I got a heart, and I got a soul
Believe me, I will use them both
We made a start
Be it a false one, I know
Baby, I don't want to feel alone

So kiss me where I lay down
My hands pressed to your cheeks
A long way from the playground

I have loved you since we were 18
Long before we both thought the same thing
To be loved and to be in love
All I can do is say that these arms
Are made for holding you, oh-oh
I wanna love like you made me feel
When we were 18

Oh my gosh, he still feels this way about me? After everything that's happened?

We took a chance
God knows we tried
Yet all along, I knew we'd be fine
So pour me a drink, oh love
And let's split the night wide open
And we'll see everything we can
Living love in slow motion, motion, motion
So kiss me where I lay down
My hands pressed to your cheeks
A long way from the playground

I have loved you since we were 18
Long before we both thought the same thing
To be loved and to be in love
And all I can do is say that these arms
Are made for holding you, oh-oh-oh
And I wanna love like you made me feel
When we were 18
When we were 18
Oh, Lord, when we were 18

Kiss me where I lay down
My hands pressed to your cheeks
A long way from the playground

I have loved you since we were 18

I turn around and see Reggie right behind me. He hangs up on his phone and walks towards me.

Long before we both thought the same thing
To be loved and to be in love
And all I can do is say that these arms
Are made for holding you
And I wanna love like you made me feel
When we were 18
I wanna love like you made me feel
When we were 18
I wanna love like you made me feel
When we were 18

I looked into his eyes for a while. We both started tearing up before I finally said something.

"It was you..."

"What do you mean?" He asks. Oh no, what did I say to him?

"I-I'm sorry, Reggie." I whisper before teleporting out. I turn my mirror on to see what he says.

"Reg, you okay?" Luke asks.

"She doesn't love me anymore." He says.

"I'm sorry, man." Reggie gives Luke a hug before he could speak another word.

Oh gosh, what did I do?

That's not what I meant!

I still love him...

But now, it's too late to admit that.

What kind of monster did I become?
