"COME ON ROXY." Roxy whispered to herself as she tried to flash onto the stage at the Orpheum, she saw flickers of the crowd and Julie's voice but she was still stuck in the hypnosis of Caleb. Reggie and Alex had escaped, now it left Luke and her, he glanced at her with a glisten in his eyes, he was trying so hard it nearly drained whatever life he had left. "Roxy do it now!" She muttered to herself as she gave one last push and finally opened her eyes. There she was, the place where she dreamed on playing, now strumming the strings of her guitar proudly playing with her other 2 bandmates. Reggie grinned widely at the sight of the girl as she looked towards him, she took slow steps so she was close to him, her fingers dance on each string perfectly causing a tune to ring out.
"Keep holding on, never look back!" Roxy sang into a nearby microphone as her eyes scanned the room when a crackle like a glitching TV echoed throughout the building. A flicker of a figure on the left side of the stage appeared as the band worriedly glanced at the spot hoping their leader was able to push through. "And it's, one, two, three, four times. That'll I'll try for one more nights, light a fire in my eyes!"
"I'm going out of my mind!" Finally the boy fully appeared as Julie grabbed a microphone and ran towards the middle of the stage to meet the boy she had grown to fascinate. "Whatever happens even if I'm the last standing, imma stand tall, imma stand tall!"
"Whatever happens even when everything's down, imma stand tall, imma tall! I gotta keep on dreaming, cause I gotta catch that feeling, whatever happens even if I'm the last standing, imma stand tall, imma stand tall!"
"Like I'm glowing in the dark, I keep on going when it's all flaming apart, yeah, I know it with all my heart! Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh!"
"Whatever happen!"
"Whatever happens, even if I'm the last standing, imma stand tall. Imma stand tall." Alex stood up from his drum set and confidently sang towards the crowd.
"Whatever happens even if I'm the last standing, imma stand tall!" He turned towards the girl beside him as she stood close to the microphone.
"Imma stand tall!" The both sang
"Stand tall!"
"Stand tall!"
"Whatever happens even if I'm the last standing, imma stand tall, imma stand tall. Whatever happens even when everything's down, imma stand tall, imma stand tall, I gotta keep on dreaming, cause I gotta catch that feeling. Whatever happens even if I'm the last standing, imma stand tall, imma stand tall." The group stood together at the front of the stage as people cheered loudly, Roxy squeezed Reggie's hand. They all bowed down but as soon as they did, the same result happened, they flashed away.

She laid on the ground, pain coursed throughout her body as she felt tears rundown her face. It hurt everywhere her legs, her head, her arms, her chest, everything you could think of was hurting. It felt like someone had stomped on her then set her on fire, it didn't stop, not one bit as she let out broken sobs.
"I....I already know I said this but uh, thank you, guys." Julie's voice didn't help with the head he that Linder in Roxy head as Reggie somehow found the strength to speak.
"Your welcome." He mumbled as the Alex groaned.
"Dude!" Luke breathed out, the lights in the empty garage turned on which revealed a pile of teens on the ground. They were a mess as there bodies tangled together on the hardwood floor, Roxy lifted aching arm to give her a weak smile and a wave.
"W-why are you here, I-I thought-" A loud sob and a scream cut her off as the purple spark revealed the jolts of pain that still hit them every few minutes. "No, no, I thought you crossed over, why didn't you cross over."
"I guess playing the Orpheum wasn't our unfinished business." Alex stated the obvious as Roxy leaned her head on the piano leg.
"Point, Caleb." Reggie mumbled
"We wanted you to think that we crossed over, so we pretended to. We just...we had no where else to go." Luke explained.
"We thought you'd go straight to bed." Reggie felt more tears run down his face as he stared the brunette silently sobbing and gripping her waist tightly.
"God, make the pain stop." She whispered, but nobody seemed to hear her.
"Yeah, well, I knew she was gonna come out here, but nobody ever listens to me." Alex muttered
"I do-" A painful scream escaped her lips which caused her to stop mid sentence as the shock went though her already hurting limbs.
"You have to save yourselves right now! Go join Caleb's club, please." Julie begged like never before "It's better then not existing at all, please just go, go! Poof out, do something! Please. Do it for me. Please." The band forced themselves up but they each had to support their weight on something close since they couldn't do it by themselves.
"We're not going back there." Reggie replied
Luke walked up to the girl with a pained expression, "No music is worth making, Julie, if we're not making it with you." Luke told her "No regrets." The girl threw her arms around the boy as they held each other close.
"I love you guys." She whispered shakily as the sudden noise of a mystical twinkle came from Luke's body, he glowed gold as his Julie stared at their connected hands. "How can I feel you?"
"I..I..I don't know." Luke stuttered out just as shocked as her, Julie placed a hand on his cheek to make sure she wasn't crazy, but the truth was reveled, she could physically touch him now. The boy turned to his friends "I feel stronger."
"Alex, Reggie, Roxy, come." The 3 friends walked towards the Julie and Luke to see if it was the same for them. The group hugged each other as Roxy slowly limped towards them, that was until a hoarse scream came from the bottom of her throat and rippled through the walls, a thud followed the loud noise as she looked up to meet the concerned eyes of her friends.
"No, no, no, no, Rox." Reggie rushed to her side as he supported her head onto his lap, her eyes became heavy as her body slowly became more limp. She couldn't feel her legs, "Hey, keep your eyes open. Julie, touch her, maybe it'll help." Without hesitating Julie crouched down and tired to grip her arm but it went straight through. "No! No! Roxy, look at me."
"Reggie, it hurts." She whispered "I feel tired."
"Don't go to sleep, don't close your eyes, remember when we pulled an all nighter watching a bunch of movies. I need you to do the same thing you did that night, stay awake." Reggie quickly said as his fingers ran through her hair, "Stay, I love you Roxy, I love you so much, you can't leave me alone."
Her eyes soon closed as the noise was muffled but she heard it, she heard the 3 words she had been dying to hear since she met Reggie. All the band mates surround the lifeless body with tears staining their cheeks, Reggie lowered his forehead to lay on top of hers, his sobs becoming loud but quickly sniffed and planted a small peck on her lips. Silence consumed the room, it was unusual since their was usually loud instruments clashing together to make a tune, or Reggie would always light up the room with his stupid jokes, Alex would sass on of his friends for being clueless, Luke would mumbled to himself trying to figure out the perfect lyrics for a new song, Julie would sing her strong voice into the microphone, and Roxy would make snarky and sarcastic comments to lift everybody's sprits if they were down. She would make you feel confident even if you were the ugliest person in world.
A sudden glow emitted from her body as other bandmates looked up and realized the same thing was happening to them. A force was ripped from Roxy limo wrist as the stamp from Calebs club dissolved into the air, the same thing happened to Alex, Luke, and Reggie, but it was too late, the girl was dead again. A gasp shot through the silence as Roxy sat up from Reggie's lap, she felt her body and laughed "I'm alive bitches!" A small whimper caught her attention as she turned to see a distressed and confused Reggie, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." She whispered and wrapped her arms around his neck, she pulled his head into her shoulder as he tightly wrapped his arms around her torso.
"Thank god, I thought you were gone." He sniffled as Roxy giggled.
"So corny, but you already know that I ain't going nowhere, I'll stay right here." She whispered and kissed his cheek, she stood up from the floor and looked towards her speechless friends. "Now, family reunion, yay!" She ran into Luke arms as he chuckled and buried his head into the crook of her neck, when she pulled back she smirked towards the direction of her blonde best friend. "Lexie!" She squealed and jumped onto him, he quickly caught her as she wrapped her legs around his waist.
"Thank god your alive, I wouldn't have lasted a day with these idiots." He muttered as she laughed and finally dropped down, she finally turned towards the last person she still hadn't touched, Julie.
"Come here Jules!" Roxy giggles and opened her arms, the dark skinned girl quickly wrapped her arms around Roxy's waist and grinned widely. "Let's go a group hug! I love those." The band all chuckled at her childish action but did as told anyway, they circled together in a tight embrace.
"Looks like the band is back." Luke said with a smirk as members all smiled, Roxy made the first move to place her hand in the center, Reggie then added his on top of her which led the others to follow.
"Julie and the phantoms on 3. 1, 2, 3!"
"Julie and the Phantoms!"
