The Good Days - Sequel *UNDER EDITING*

The Next Step 🔑

"Julie? Julie, wake up."

Julie's eyes fluttered open to be met with Luke's green ones.

"Hey. I'm sorry to wake you up, but we're about to land."

"Did I really sleep that whole flight?" Julie asked as she sat up straight.

"Yeah, you really did." Luke smiled at her.

In no time they had touched down at LGA airport. Once everyone had claimed their bags they headed towards the exit.

"Oh, my god. Kayla!"

Reggie ran over to the girl who was clearly waiting for them to arrive. She had a decorated sign in her hands that said: 'Welcome Home, Rockstars!'

Kayla was a close friend of the band. Alex had met her once they all moved to New York two years ago. Alex and Willie started getting really serious during Willie's sophomore year at NYU so they moved in together. Honestly, it made everyone's lives easier by moving to New York. Alex wouldn't have to fly back and forth across the country, plus Julie always wanted to experience it for herself.

"Hey, guys! Congrats on wrapping up tour." Kayla grinned at them.

"Thanks, Kayla. This is so sweet." Alex gestured towards the sign.

"Yeah, so sweet." Reggie was practically making heart eyes at the girl.

Reggie and Flynn had broken up not long after Kayla started hanging around them. Not that Julie was accusing anyone of anything, but the timing was pretty close. Although Reggie didn't admit it out loud, everyone knew the guy had a crush on Kayla.

Julie couldn't help but have some mixed feelings about the girl. Reggie had just broken up with her best friend and was basically worshiping the ground Kayla walked on a few days later. But Julie couldn't blame him for wanting to move on. After all, Flynn was in Europe most of the year doing her fashion internship and long distance had really taken a toll on their relationship.

Both girls graduated early at seventeen and Flynn ended up doing a two year program at Beverly Hills Design Institute. Flynn got the Paris internship right after she finished school and has been on the grind ever since.

"Alright, guys. We're gonna head home." Julie said after a while of the guys catching up with Kayla.

"Okay, see you guys soon." Both Alex and Reggie hugged Julie and Luke goodbye before turning their attention back to the other girl.

Despite the fact that it was about 6:00am, Julie had slept a whole eight hours on the plane so she really wasn't tired when she and Luke got back to her apartment.

"Hey, babe?"

"Yeah?"

The couple was currently lounging on the couch watching Netflix. Julie had her head resting in Luke's lap as he ran his fingers gently through her curls.

"Have you ever, I don't know," Luke sighed, "thought about us moving in together?"

Julie immediately turned her attention away from the TV and looked up at Luke when she heard those words leave his mouth. Sure it had been a thought that popped into her head on a couple occasions, but she never knew Luke thought about it as well.

"I mean, yeah. I've thought about it." Julie nodded. "Why do you ask?"

"Well," Julie saw Luke's cheeks start to go red and she bit back a smile, "we've been together for a long time now. Almost five years in September. I just thought maybe it was time for the next step. I-I mean it's okay if you aren't ready, I just-"
