julie and the phantoms - the after story

12. it's not even mine.

alex' pov
me and luna poofed on the roof of the garage.
"it's still really strange for me to do the poof thing." luna chuckled.
"i know, you'll get used to it." i put my arm around her.
"so. you wanted to talk about something?" luna nods.
"i - i. i like you, alex. more than a friend. i know you are gay and-" before she could say anything else, i put my lips onto hers. it felt weird to kiss a girl.
don't get me wrong, i love luna. but i also don't want to break her heart.

i quickly pull away.
"i'm sorry luna. i- you're great and i can always talk to you about anything. but i don't like girls."
"it's okay. it was kinda weird anyways. i guess it's just puppy love." with that she poofed away.
i hope she's okay.

luna's pov
omg. i'm so stupid! i like my brother's best friend. he's gay. what was i thinking.
i poof away, to the beach. i admire the sunset.
i got caught up in the moment, when i suddenly get a flashback.

" this is awesome you guys !
we're playing the orpheum ! "

wait! why was i getting a flashback of something i didn't witness?
i was thinking and i look at the sunset again. when i get another flashback.

   " eat up boys, cause after tonight.    everything changes. "

luke, alex and reggie put together      their hotdogs as a cheer and take bite.

what is happening to m-
before i could finish my sentence i got caught up in another flashback of my brother's band.

i see the ambulance coming.
i see reggie, alex and luke crawled up on the ground.
"luke? reggie, alex? are you guys-
you guys shouldn't have eaten those."
i knew they couldn't hear me.
i try to grab luke's hand. and it worked. he looks up at me with all the strength he has left.
"luna. i'm sorry."
"l- luk- luke it's- ok- ay." i started crying.
"reggie? alex?" no reaction.
i went over to them. no pulse. no heart rate. nothing.
"they're gone."
"luke. w-what's happening?"
"luna. you need to-" he looked really weak.
"luke. spare some power. you're going to make it."
"no. no. no. i don't and can't live without reggie and alex."
"luke i know it's hard. but bobby he. he's going to do something bad. a-and." i couldn't finish my sentence cause of the ambulance.
"miss. do you know these guys?"
"yes. this is my brother luke, that's reggie peters. and that's alex mercer.
they're all 17. and they have a big show tonight. are they going to make it?" i started crying even louder.
luke grabbed my hand.
"your brother is going to be fine. but these 2. i'm not so sure. "
"omg. no!" i screamed. i got an idea.
"can you please keep talking to him? like ask questions about me." she nods. i run inside to rose and bobby.

"trevor! i mean bobby! bobby! bobby!!"
"woah, luna. what's wrong."
"the guys. they ate the hotdogs. reggie and alex are gone. luke is about to die, i-" i started crying.
"ok. c'mon let's go."
we raced outside.
i ran.
and ran.
and ran.
we reached them.
me and bobby stood there with our mounths wide open.
"alex? reggie? you guys made it?"
"barely."
"luke isn't this amazing?"
no reaction. oh no.
"luke?"
i feel a tap on my shoulder.
i turn around and see luke. completely fine.
"luke? how can you be fine? you were-" i started to hear the sea.
and feel the sand. i saw the last bit of the sunset. and luke.
"luna, what are you doing? what did you see?"

"a flashback."
"what was it about?"
"the night you guys played the orpheum."
"you werent even there?"
"i know. and it was probably different than the actual memory."
we look at each other.
"i had a flashback and it's not even mine."
