Julie laid awake tossing and turning all night, her mind racked with the thoughts of whether or not the guys would be okay. What if she woke up and they were gone? The same thought went around and around her head. After being so fed up with not being able to sleep Julie turned on her light and sat down in front of her mum's trunk of clothes. Her hand reached out opening the lid, quickly searching for the white t-shirt Julie's hand gripped the material tightly pulling it up from the bottom of the trunk. The name clearly spelled out in cursive writing, Sunset Curve. Julie sat there thinking of all the possibilities of how her mum would be connected to the band. How she was connected to the band.
As her eyes glued to the material Julie couldn't help but wonder if the boys were lying to her.
Her brain spun with thoughts of "did they know my mum?" "why would they lie to me about her?"
Sat on the floor of her room Julie began to hum the melody of Edge of Great, her mind flashing back to her performance with the boys.
FLASHBACK JULIES POV
I opened the piano sitting down playing the opening intro to the Edge of Great. Flynns words playing over in my head, "you make all the music you want with Luke but he'll always be a phantom," "the key is avoiding those big, beautiful, dead eyes." Remembering my goal I began singing.
RUNNING FROM THE PAST
TRIPPING ON THE NOW
WHAT IS LOST CAN BE FOUND, IT'S OBVIOUS
AND LIKE A RUBBER BALL
WE COME BOUNCING BACK
WE ALL GOT A SECOND ACT, INSIDE OF US
Turning around the guys wooshed in continuing the song, the crowd getting more and more energetic. I couldn't help but smile along with the audience.
I BELIEVE
I BELIEVE THAT WE'RE JUST ONE DREAM
AWAY FROM WHO WE'RE MEANT TO BE
THAT WE'RE STANDING ON THE EDGE OF
SOMETHING BIG, SOMETHING CRAZY
OUR BEST DAYS ARE YET UNKNOWN
THAT THIS MOMENT IS OURS TO OWN
I moved around singing with Reggie and hyping Alex on the drums. My eyes looked with Lukes, I darted my eyes away quickly trying my hardest to keep my distance.
'CAUSE WE'RE STANDING ON THE EDGE OF GREAT
(ON THE EDGE OF GREAT) GREAT
(ON THE EDGE OF GREAT) GREAT
(ON THE EDGE OF GREAT)
'CAUSE WE'RE STANDING ON THE EDGE OF GREAT
WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES
BUT THEY'RE JUST STEPPING STONES
TO TAKE US WHERE WE WANNA GO
IT'S NEVER STRAIGHT, NO
Luke flicked his head towards his side, wanting me to come over closer to him. Trying not to smile I pursed my lips continuing to sing not moving a muscle. This was honestly the hardest thing I had to do.
SOMETIMES WE GOTTA LEAN
LEAN ON SOMEONE ELSE
TO GET A LITTLE HELP
UNTIL WE FIND OUR WAY
I BELIEVE
I BELIEVE THAT WE'RE JUST ONE DREAM
AWAY FROM WHO WE'RE MEANT TO BE
THAT WE'RE STANDING ON THE EDGE OF
SOMETHING BIG, SOMETHING CRAZY
OUR BEST DAYS ARE YET UNKNOWN
THAT THIS MOMENT IS OURS TO OWN
'CAUSE WE'RE STANDING ON THE EDGE OF GREAT
(ON THE EDGE OF GREAT) GREAT
(ON THE EDGE OF GREAT) GREAT
(ON THE EDGE OF GREAT)
'CAUSE WE'RE STANDING ON THE EDGE OF...
SHOUT, SHOUT
C'MON AND LET IT OUT, OUT
DON'T GOTTA HIDE IT
LET YOUR COLORS BLIND THEIR EYES
BE WHO YOU ARE NO COMPROMISE
JUST SHOUT, SHOUT
C'MON AND LET IT OUT, OUT
WHAT DOESN'T KILL YOU MAKES YOU FEEL ALIVE
OOH-OH
I BELIEVE
As I started singing the final low chorus Luke started in with the most beautiful guitar riff I had ever heard. He moved closer to the piano, I couldn't help but stare at him with a smile on my face. He returned the smile, his eyes brightening up.
I BELIEVE THAT WE'RE JUST ONE DREAM
AWAY FROM WHO WE'RE MEANT TO BE
THAT WE'RE STANDING ON THE EDGE OF GREAT
SOMETHING BIG, SOMETHING CRAZY
OUR BEST DAYS ARE YET UNKNOWN
THAT THIS MOMENT IS OURS TO OWN
'CAUSE WE'RE STANDING ON THE EDGE OF GREAT
(ON THE EDGE OF GREAT) ON THE EDGE OF GREAT
(GREAT, ON THE EDGE OF GREAT) ON THE EDGE
(GREAT, ON THE EDGE OF GREAT)
'CAUSE WE'RE STANDING ON THE EDGE OF...
As Alex and Reggie vanished I could feel Luke's presence behind me. As he moved closer he sat beside me on the piano, his face so close to mine. I swear I could have looked into his eyes forever.
RUNNING FROM THE PAST
TRIPPING ON THE NOW
WHAT IS LOST CAN BE FOUND, IT'S OBVIOUS
He vanished when the song finished, without a trace. I already missed him.
END FLASHBACK
Once Julie came out of her flashback she couldn't sit there any longer. She knew that she needed to stop thinking about Luke, it was pointless at this point. Julie didn't even know how long she would have left with him anyway.
Packing everything back into her mum's trunk Julie moved back on her bed, turning off the light on the way. Laying on her bed she still couldn't fall asleep. Sitting up Julie grabbed her red notebook that she kept on her bedside table, opening it she wrote out the lyrics for Perfect Harmony hoping it would help her to fall asleep if she got her feelings for Luke out of her head.
