Perfect Harmony- Julie and the Phantoms

Unsaid Emily

[ Mommas boy ]

Me and Luke decided to go to see his parents and we end up seeing Julie. "Luke!..Kim!"Julie said in surprise "what are you doing here"he asked "ok look. I just wanted to know more about you, you know, just curious. Um..so I came here last week on your birthday. "She said "you were spying on me? Even after all your speeches about boundaries? You were spying on me"he asked "I know. I'm sorry it was wrong"she said "did you do the same to me"I asked and she sighs and nods and my stomach drops but I don't say anything.  "But I'm worried about you"she said to Luke "you don't have to be. "He said squeezing my hand.

"I get it. I know how hard it is when you want to speak to someone you love and can't. I feel that way everyday. "Julie said "I don't even know what I'd say to her even if she could hear me. "Luke said "yes you do"I said and he looks at me "you already said it"Julie said and he sighs and rings the door bell for her. "Hello can I help you"Luke's dad asked "hi I'm Julie. I believe you had a son named Luke? "Julie asked "yes. That's right. And you are again?"he asked "Julie Molina. Um your son's band used to play in my family's garage? ...I came across this song that he wrote and figured you might be interested? "Julie asked and he nods "yes. Uh, please come in. I'm...I'm Mitch."he said "nice to meet you"Julie said and walks in. Luke doesn't move till I tug on him a bit"you can do it, I'm here with you"I said and he walks in with me and Julie.

"Can I get you something "Mitch asked her "oh, no. I'm good. Thank you. Is this your son?"she asked him and picked up a picture of Luke. "Yeah, that's Luke. When he was two. "He said "do you have any other children?" Julie asked "no"he said "did I hear the door bell?"Emily asked walking in. "Hey hon um this is Julie."Mitch said "hi Julie. Oh that's a beautiful sweater. "Emily said "thanks it was my mothers"Julie said "Julie lives in the house where Luke and the band rehearsed. She was just telling me she found a song that Luke wrote "Mitch tell Emily. "Its a song about a girl Emily?"Julie questioned "I'm Emily. "She says "then I think your son may have written this song for you."Julie said and Emily grabs it.

First things first
We start the scene in reverse
All of the lines rehearsed
Disappeared from my mind

When things got loud
One of us running out
I should have turned around
But I had too much pride

No time for goodbyes
Didn't get to apologize
Pieces of a clock that lies broken

If I could take us back
If I could just do that
And write in every empty space
The words I love you in replace
Then maybe time would not erase me

I hugged Luke from behind as he sang and cried.

If you could only know
I never let you go
And the words I most regret
Are the ones I never meant to leave
Unsaid Emily

Silent days
Mysteries and mistakes
Who'd be the first to break
Guess we're alike that way

He said, she said
Conversations in my head
And that's just where they're gonna stay forever

If I could take us back
If I could just do that
And write in every empty space
The words I love you in replace
Then maybe time would not erase me

If you could only know
I never let you go
And the words I most regret
Are the ones I never meant to leave

If I could take us back
If I could just do that
And write in every empty space
The words I love you in replace
Then maybe time would not erase me

If you could only know
I never let you go
And the words I most regret
Are the ones I never meant to leave

"

Can we go now"he asked and I nod as we left. We stood on the porch of Julie's house and he cried harder when I hugged him "I love you so much"he cried and I ran my fingers through his hair "I love you too baby and its gonna get better"I said and pulled away and wiped his tear. "I'm gonna wait for Julie to say thanks "he said "okay "I said and went to the  garage

We were all bummed out. Alex was on the couch and Reggie was in the chair messing with his gutior and ne and Luke was on the floor cuddled up. "Snap out of it"Julie yells and Alex falls "jeez I think you broke Alex"Reggie said "Do you guys want to cross over or what "she asked and we didn't say anything. "Get. It. To-get-her"she said in between claps. "They're never gonna let us play the Orpheum."Luke says and I cuddled up closer to him "we're nobody "Alex said "we're less than nobody "I say "we what to bodies"Reggie said and Luke points at him in agreement

"Someone once told me that you don't ask for permission. You book gigs by doing"she said "that was me"Reggie said "no it wasn't "Luke and Julie said and he pouted. "Yes it was"he said and I pat his knee "yes it was"I said and Reggie smile and Luke rolled his eyes. "This isn't over. We were brought together for a reason: to help each other "Julie said "like Luke said people don't just play the Orpheum because they want to. "Alex said "people don't. Ghost do"she said and we all look at each other with smiles.
