JULIE'S POV:

I frowned at Luke's quick and passive remark, this was so not like him. Following his instruction I sat down at the piano, waiting for the guys to get ready with their instruments. Luke moved towards his guitar plugging it into the amplifier turning the volume up to a reasonable level. I watched him expecting him to smile at me or say anything but he was dead quiet. Without even speaking to me he looked over to Reggie and Alex.

"What song did you guys wanna start with?" Luke questioned not facing me.

Alex and Reggie both turned towards each other knowingly but also confused. They both looked over to me waiting for me to step in and try and fix whatever was going on with Luke. I couldn't find the words cause I honestly didn't know what was going on with him. I just shook my head in response to the boys.

Alex looked over at Luke who was still waiting for an answer. "Maybe we could go through Finally Free again, then could try the new song Hindsight."

Luke just nodded shortly, nothing more or less, he nodded at Alex to kick us off to start Finally Free.

HEARTS ON FIRE

WE'RE NO LIARS, SO WE SAY WHAT WE WANNA SAY

I'M AWAKENED, NO MORE FAKING

SO WE PUSH ALL OUR FEARS AWAY

DON'T KNOW IF I'LL MAKE IT CAUSE I'M FALLING UNDER

CLOSE MY EYES AND FEEL MY CHEST BEATING LIKE THUNDER

I WANNA FLY

COME ALIVE

WATCH ME SHINE

When Luke joined in on vocals he just wasn't his usual self. He seemed so distracted, music has always been the one thing that got Luke through anything and this time it just showed how off he was.

I GOT A SPARK IN ME

HANDS UP IF YOU CAN SEE

AND YOU'RE A PART OF ME

HANDS UP IF YOU'RE WITH ME

NOW 'TIL ETERNITY

HANDS UP IF YOU BELIEVE

BEEN SO LONG AND NOW WE'RE FINALLY FREE

When Luke dropped out of singing he kept looking down at his guitar and playing along. Usually whenever we rehearsed he would dance around like a maniac, he would come over and sing and muck around with me. He wasn't doing any of that tonight. I looked over at Reggie and Alex wondering if they noticed his behaviour as well. They both had a sad look written all over their faces.

WE'RE ALL BRIGHT NOW

WHAT A SIGHT NOW

COMING OUT LIKE WE'RE FIREWORKS

MARCHING ON PROUD

TURN IT UP LOUD

CAUSE NOW WE KNOW WHAT WE'RE WORTH

WE KNOW WE CAN MAKE IT

WE'RE NOT FALLING DOWN UNDER

CLOSE MY EYES AND FEEL MY CHEST

BEATING LIKE THUNDER

I WANNA FLY

COME ALIVE

WATCH ME SHINE

I GOT A SPARK IN ME

HANDS UP IF YOU CAN SEE

AND YOU'RE A PART OF ME

HANDS UP IF YOU'RE WITH ME

NOW 'TIL ETERNITY

HANDS UP IF YOU BELIEVE

BEEN SO LONG AND NOW WE'RE FINALLY FREE

I GOT A SPARK IN ME

HANDS UP IF YOU CAN SEE

AND YOU'RE A PART OF ME

HANDS UP IF YOU'RE WITH ME

NOW 'TIL ETERNITY

HANDS UP IF YOU BELIEVE

BEEN SO LONG AND NOW WE'RE FINALLY FREE

It was time for the echo bridge that Luke and I always did together. I was nervous about what was going to happen. When it started Luke didn't even move closer at all, he stood at his microphone given about 10% of his usual. This was by far the most awkward band rehearsal we've ever had.

I GOT A SPARK IN ME

(I GOT A SPARK IN ME)

AND YOU'RE A PART OF ME

(AND YOU'RE A PART OF ME)

NOW 'TIL ETERNITY

(NOW 'TIL ETERNITY)

BEEN SO LONG AND NOW WE'RE FINALLY FREE

I GOT A SPARK IN ME

HANDS UP IF YOU CAN SEE

AND YOU'RE A PART OF ME

HANDS UP IF YOU'RE WITH ME

NOW 'TIL ETERNITY

HANDS UP IF YOU BELIEVE

BEEN SO LONG AND NOW WE'RE FINALLY FREE

FINALLY FREE, YEAH...

The music faded out when the song had ended. It was so silent you could hear a pin drop in the garage. I didn't even know if we should rehearse the new song, it just didn't feel like the right time. Thankfully Alex piped up before I had to.

"I reckon we call it a night guys."

"Yeah I agree with Alex, we should wait till tomorrow or something." Reggie spoke putting his bass down on his stand.
