"RIGHT THIS WAY." Willie said as he lead the band towards the inside of a building, it was actually very clean and beautiful.

"So this is where your hotshot this lives, huh?" Luke asked as Willie nodded with a smirk.

"Yeah, we've walked parody this hotel, like, a million times." Alex told the boy, "How come we've ever heard of it."

"That's because this area has been sealed off for decades." Willie explained, "I mean, you wouldn't even know this place existed unless you were invited."

"So this is like.....ghost VIP?" Roxy questioned as Willie chuckled.

"Well...you can say that, all right, I got to go make sure everything's cool but I'll be right back."

"Hollywood ghost club?" Reggie mumbled as they stared out towards the club, they observed it, although they wanted revenge on Bobby the club gave them a word feeling. "This place is creepy."

"Yeah, well, so are we." Alex replied

β€”

"I don't know about this." Reggie mumbled as he fiddled with his fingers, Roxy placed her hand on top of his which caused him to stop.

"Well, if you get scared, you..you can always hide behind me." Alex said bravely, "And I'll be hiding behind Luke." Luke rolled his eyes as Roxy laughed slightly at the boys fear.

"You guys need to grown up, okay." Luke said, "We're gonna get back at Bobby, besides if anything happens, I'll be behind Roxy."

"You guys are children." She muttered, "Bobby needs to pay for what he did to us."

"Your right," Alex nodded as he finally stepped out from behind Luke "I'm still gonna hide behind you." He whispered when a sudden flash appeared beside Luke.

"We're all good." Willie grinned

"Oh, uh, cool....hey, just so you know we have like an hour because we have a gig with Julie." Alex explained.

"Oh, yeah, no worries." Willie reassured "Let's go." He mumbled as he began to walk towards some stairs. "You guys are not gonna be ready for this." He slid down the railing and when he made it the bottom he pointed towards a grand stage.

"Are you guys seeing what I'm seeing." Roxy whispered as her eyes widened at the sight of the stage, "It's so pretty."

"I think we're a bit overdressed." Luke sarcastically commented as he began to walk down the stairs, once they reached the bottom Roxy felt something go through her.

"Woah, I thought these people were all going to be ghosts." Reggie said as he looked towards Willie in confusion.

"These are all lifers."

"Oh, uh, lifers are actually-" Alex began but was cut off by Reggie.

"Alive people, I was listening."

"But this is a very exclusive crowd, everybody here has paid a lot to get a sneak peek at the afterlife." Willie explained.

"I always knew rich people did weird stuff like this, me and Roxy always came up with theory's whenever we hung out." Reggie said which caused Roxy to smile at the memory, "Remember Anne?"

"Yeah, I do." She laughed

"Gentleman," A sudden voice called out causing the band mates to turn towards a man in a white suit "Madam," He grinned charmingly "I have a table for you, right this way."

He lead them towards a table at the very front where five chairs where laid out, as the rest of the boys sat down the man pulled out a chair for Roxy. "Thank you." She smiled as he nodded and walk away.

"Okay, so who's gonna make us visible so we can confront our old bandmate?" Luke questioned

"Oh no, none, of these lifers have the power to do that." Willie said as the lights suddenly dimmed, "Oh...but here comes the ghost who does."

"Ladies and gentleman back from the dead by popular demand, please welcome, Caleb Covington!" The crowd cheered as the announcer finished and a flash of oriole appeared.

"Did you miss me?" The man asked as the crowd cheered, "I did too!" He laughed. "Welcome to the party, of your dreams. From the Egyptians to the Druids, to the person sitting right next to you, we've all wondered, where do we go when that final light is snuffedΒ  out? Allow me to show you." He smirked "Let me introduce myself, we got some time to kill, consider me the pearly gates to your new favorite thrills. We could go make history, or you could Rest In Peace, but here there ain't no misery cause on the other side we live like kings. Watcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do? Let your body loose, let your body loose. Whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do? Show you a thing or two cause you ain't seen nothing. Life if good on the other side of Hollywood! Life is good on the other side of Hollywood! So Welcome to the brotherhood where you won't be misunderstood, life is good on the other side of Hollywood wood."

The bright lights, the dancing, the voice of the man all mesmerized Roxy to the point she could only focus on what was happening in front of her. She couldn't take her eye's away even if she wanted to, she was so sucked in like a child watching it's favorite TV program.

"Everything has got a price but happiness is free, just so happens you're in luck, we got a vacancy. We could set the night on fire and break out of the scene, your soul print on the walk of fame. On the boulevard of your wildest dreams. Whatcha gonna, whatcha gonna do?"

As he snag Roxy felt a sudden tug on the back of her chair, Caleb gripped her hand and began to dance with her. She laughed as he twirled her around and sang, it felt exhilarating, at some point her brain couldn't help but sing out the lyrics as well. But her voice drowned out with the many others dining as well.

"The rain don't blind the rising souls they got too much to see, I got your glamour, got your gold, got all you'll ever need..let me here you now!"

"The rain don't blind the rising souls they got too much to see, I got your glamour, got your gold, got all you'll ever need."

"Yeah, I said, watch me make a move watch me make a move, boys."

"Whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do?"

"I said, watch me make a move, no, I don't disappoint."

"Whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do?"

"Amen, watch me make a move I am you're number one choice!"

"Whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do?"

"Watch me make a move, come on, now give me that noise, a tomb with a view ain't it something?"Β  As another dancer speared over the ceiling handing by a hoop Roxy appeared back at the table with the boys.

"Holy shit." She muttered

"Life is good on the other side of Hollywood, yeah, life is good on the other side of Hollywood. So welcome to the brotherhood where you won't be misunderstood. Life is good on the other side of Hollywood. So welcome to the brotherhood where you won't be misunderstood, life is good on the other side of Hollywood. Oh, Hollywood."

"Ain't it the best, long live the dead."

The crowd practically roared as the music stopped, cheers and loud claps filled the room. "I knew I recognized him, he's the guy that bumped into me outside the Orpheum."

"Wait, isn't he that magician do that died a horrible death doing a trick?" Reggie questioned

"Yeah, I wouldn't really bring that up whenever we meet him." Alex replied

"Yeah, but you should come back when he shows one of his movies. I mean, for Titanic, you literally flooded the entire place, that dude has liter got skills."

"All right, but he can he wave his arms and make ghost visible to lifers?" Luke asked

"Told you, the guys got skills."

"So where did he go?" Reggie looked around but suddenly jumped when he saw him standing behind Roxy.

"What?" Roxy asked as she peered up and also flinch at the sudden sight of the ghost, "Oh, it's just him."

"Hello boys." He grinned as he turned and grabbed Roxy's hand, he planted a peck on her knuckle, "And girl." He mumbled with a smirk. "Welcome to the Hollywood Ghost Club, enjoying the show."

"Yo that was...I mean...did you...like." Luke tried to form a sentence but he couldn't.

"I know." Caleb laughed.

"This is Alex, Luke, Reggie, and Roxy." Willie introduced

"It's really nice to meet you."

"Sup."

"Hey."

"The pleasure is mine, nothing warms my heart more than sharing this magic with new friends." Caleb said, "Please sit, sit."

"Thank you for the invite."

"Of course, of course." Caleb nodded "Now, my friend Willie tells me that you guys have some magic of your own."

A flustered look came upon Alex's face as he stuttered out an awkward response, "Willie and I? Well...I wouldn't really call it.....magic but.."

"Oh no, he means your ghost abilities." Willie cut off the blonde as a look of relief filled Alex's features, "You know, like, to be seen by everybody when you play with Julie."

"Right, yeah, it was weird cause I was like is that what he really said and-"

"What Alex is trying to say," Roxy cut off "Is that we do have those abilities, but we can't really wave our arms into all that magic stuff you just did up on the stage."

"What she said." Alex muttered

"Well, I've had some practice, our gifts are so rare, so special. It's not often I come across other spirits that possess similar talents, it's no surprise we found each other." Caleb told the group. "If you'll forgive me, I gotta go pay the bills, if you know what I'm saying. I'll be back later to chat." The man went off to talk to a woman as the group we're left to do whatever.

"I love that dude, please tell me this party's never gonna end." Reggie smiled as he looked around the decorations, but Roxy on the other hand checked a watch on her wrist and her eyes widened at the time.

"Shit," She muttered "Uh..guys don't you think it's time to leave since..y'know." She laughed and the boys all shrugged carelessly.

"It's fine, he still got some time, let's save this moment while it last." Luke replied as Roxy nodded but still stood up.

"Alright, I'll just...go ahead and check this place out." She said and began to walk towards the exit, but something caught her wrist before she left.

"Hey, the party has just started, where are you going?" Caleb questioned letting go of the worst arm as she turned to look at him.

"I need to be at this very important event right now, trust me, if I could stay I would but right now I need to go." Roxy explained, "Maybe I'll come back some other time."

"Alright," Caleb smirked "I would love to have you back anytime, you can dance, and your body is.....just perfect enough to to fit in."

"Thank you." Roxy grinned as she suddenly felt a sting shoot her arm, she looked down and saw a small symbol on her wrist.

"Just a pass for next time." He winked and walk away as she furrowed brows but ignored it anyway, she left the building in a flash and arrived at Julie's school. Music blasted as different colored lights illuminated the gym, Roxy walked to the back stage and spotted Julie nervously pacing.

"Amazing outfit." Roxy spoke up as Julie's head snapped up to meet eyes with the girl, "Definitely suits you, but I think it would be better if you added some-"

"Where are the guys!" Julie asked

"They got caught up on something, I don't think their gonna make it." Roxy replied, "But at least I'm here, one is better than nothing."

"But we need the others for the song to work, we need Alex's drums, we need Reggie's base, we need Luke and his guitar,

"Well than we'll sing a different song, one that doesn't require any of that fancy stuff." Roxy smiled and pulled out a crumbled paper from her pocket, "How fast can you memorize a song."

β€”

I feel like this chapter is absolutely shit and if it is,I'm really sorry, I don't know why but this chapter felt boring.

But in the next one, Roxy's gonna sing a song she wrote herself so be prepared.

Anyways, hope you have the best day, night, or evening, make sure you eat, drink water, and remember that I love you all!

-Xoxo, Nataly
