if only
———Reggie's POV———
Me, Luke and Alex are all walking down the streets with Willie and he's explaining why the jolts are happening. I honestly don't know how to take this all in, I should've told Y/n about it she always helps me.
"All these jolts that we're feeling is because Caleb put his stamp on us?" Luke snaps me out of my thoughts
"He's threatened by you. He wants you under his control. I mean, you're the only ghosts that can be visible to lifers without his help" Willie sounds so stressed I think he actually cares and feels bad
"And you let him do this to us?" Alex shouts at him, I guess he's lost all trust with Willie now
"I can't stop him, he owns my soul. All right? He owns everybody's soul at that club. If he even knew I was here talking to you, he... he would destroy me" Willies seems more scared then we are, how did he even find Caleb in the first place
"So if we don't join his club the weird power outage thing continues until there's no power left at all?" I ask being confused about how it all works
"Yes" He nods with guilt
"What exactly happens when the power goes out?" I began to get worried, I can't imagine what could happen, it could all be the absolute worst
"That's... that's it. You're done" Willie looks down not being able to keep eye contact with any of us, especially not Alex
"Uh-huh, yeah. And what exactly do you mean by 'we're done' ?" I panic more, it's not exactly a calming phrase to hear
"You just... you don't exist anymore. Not anywhere" These words from Willie makes my heart sink, oh my god.. Y/n. What if i can never see her again? I can't live with that I need to speak to her ASAP, panic floods over the boys as well I guess Luke feels the same with Julie
"But there is another option, that's why I'm here" Willie speaks before any of us can say something
"Another option, I- " Alex goes to speak but gets cut off by Willie
"Just please hear me out" He begs and we nod "Alright, if you guys could figure out what your unfinished business is, you do it in time. You could cross over and be free from all this" He explains quickly making it hard for me to catch up
"Ok, so what our unfinished business?" Luke asks wanting to do it in time
"I don't know, but since you all died at the same time, it might be something you need to do together" Willie is trying his hardest to help us, he really like Alex i'm guessing
"Why should we listen to a word you say?" Alex has no trust with him anymore, their whole relationship seems to be out the window
"Because I care about you, Alex... and i hate that I brought you, and your friends into this mess. I, uh I can't be away much longer, I'm so sorry... for everything" Willie says before poofing away, god that was... intense. So we have two choices now, disappear or do our unfinished business but we don't even know what happens after we finish it, let alone what we even have to do. God, I just.. I just want to hug Y/n make everything go away and happier.
"This is all my fault, I met Willie. He introduced us to Caleb, and now... now we're screwed" Alex steps in front of us apologising for something that isn't even his fault
"We all wanted to go see Caleb" Luke tries to smile but can't
"We have to tell the girls" I look at them both, I can't keep this from them.
"No, we can't do that. This just means more loss in their life, but if we don't want Caleb to own our souls we have to figure out our unfinished business is" Luke doesn't want the girls to know? Not even Julie..
"Yeah, man. And how are we supposed to do that? All right, there was so much we wanted to do" Alex stares at Luke before seeing him looking up and thinking "What is it?"
"Play the Orpheum?" I ask then it clicked, we was 2hours from playing on that stage.. it had to be
"Getting that gig was literally impossible, even after people knew who we were. We had to hustle, call in every favour we had. It took us years" Alex look at us both before we all get another jolt of pain in our bodies each getting worse and worse, how are we going to do this-
"We don't have years" Luke says as we all look up to the sign
———The next day at school———
(still Reggie's POV)
I walk into the high schools library expecting to see Y/n somewhere but I can't find her.. she wasn't at home? I look around a little more and go into one of the music rooms, there I see her picking up her acoustic guitar and getting ready to sing, looks like one she wrote herself too called If Only. I hide behind a wall not wanting to disrupt her but still wanting to hear her sing. She starts to play and I hear her soft voice singing, the talent she has. The songs she writes are always so meaningful..
[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]
(AHHH IM SORRY I LOVE THIS SONG ALL CREDIT TO DOVE CAMERON <333)
Y/n seems like she has a lot on her mind, it seems to be a... a love song as well? She looks so graceful just sitting there playing and singing, she always does look beautiful. I can't take my eyes off her and can only hope that the songs about me.. it makes me tear up a little, I never knew she was feeling these things. I walk round the corner sit next to her and join in. (time stamp for when he joins in- 2:58) We sit there singing together her voice carrying us most of the time, I look into her eyes with slight tears... I can't let go of her.
"Reggie? Are you ok?" Y/n's voice full of panic
"Uh, yeah. Yeah I'm okay" I give her a soft smile as my voice breaks a little
"Reg you don't have to lie to me" She goes to put her hand in mine but as always it goes through, I hate this
"Okay, I'm so sorry but just please stay calm about it ok?" I beg she doesn't get mad, or even worse sad..
"I promise" Y/n gives me a soft, reassuring smile
