Luke Patterson's Lover // Julie and The Phantoms

Ray

We poof back to the studio and Alex starts pacing.

Alex - I hate change

He starts talking about all the changes. He just needs to breathe.

Laura - Alex, Just take a breath and go clear your head.

He walks to the door hoping to open it.

Reggie - Dude you're a ghost, just poof out.

Alex - Don't tell me how to ghost.

Laura - Alex Go clear your head.

He breaths and poofs out. Luke then poofs somewhere. I follow him. He poofs to Julie's room.

Laura - Luke NO.

Luke - You heard Julie. She had a falling out with her friend. She needs the help.

Laura - She'll figure something out.

Luke - But I feel like we should do something...

Laura - Babe. I know you think this will help, but boundaries. She has some.

Luke - Babe, please. You would do the same for me.

Laura - ... Fine but I'm not involved

Luke - At least back me up... Pwease

Laura - Fine... Only if I get a kiss.

He grabs me by the waist and gives me a kiss.

Luke - I love you.

Laura - I love you too.

I poof to Ray.

Ray - Laura. Don't scare me.

Laura - Sorry. I heard you wanted to show me something?

Ray - Yes. 2 things... 1 I found this... Rose made it a week after you passed.

We walk to the studio and he puts the tape in the VHS.

Laura - I'm surprised you have one of these still.

Ray - Never know when you need it.

Laura - True.

He puts the tape in and presses play. It's Rose and Bobby.

Rose - Dear Laura...

Bobby - The day you died. Everything went silent

Rose - For both of us... The world stopped. Our minds stopped.

Bobby - Mom and dad were devastated and hated how I was the first to see you the way I did.

Rose - Going to 2 funerals in a month was so depressing and heart breaking.

Bobby - I promise you, I will mention you in every song I sing and every show I do.

Rose - I'll teach my kids that no matter what you should have your friends back and be there even if you feel you can't... The doctors did a scan for other things like drugs and stuff... They found out you had a 3 month fetus. How did we not tell with that bump... I guess we thought it was stress eating.

Bobby - We wish you didn't do what you did, but we understand why...There was no need. We all were going through the same loss.

Rose - Bobby it hurt her more. You know that.

Bobby - I get that but I don't have a band and a sister anymore. Mom and dad is making me move to the other side of town and the school on that side.

Rose - and I'm moving in with my family since our lease is over.

Bobby - You better stay in this house for the rest of your life.

Rose - I love this house. It has everything. My best friend's soul is still here.

The video stops and I'm sitting there crying.

Laura - Did I really hurt them that much?

Ray - They were doing this as a way to cope.

Laura - What's the second thing you wanted to say?

Ray - Bobby changed his name to Trevor and lives on that hill over there.

He points.

Laura - I'll see if I can poof there later.

Ray - Ok. Well. Julie will be home soon, sooo. Talk later.

Laura - Bye Ray.

Luke and Reggie hug me.

Laura - Thanks guys.

Reggie - I wish someone did that for me.

Luke - They didn't even know she was gonna see it. You heard Ray. They did it to cope.
