Hey y'all, I know it's been forever since I have updated…. well, anything. Had parents die, relationships changed and the like. But then…... screwy ass news. One of my favorite, and Netflix's most popular shows, gets cancelled. Kind of the straw that broke the camel's back and got me to start writing again, ironic huh? So, I figured why not start here. This is me basically continuing the story in the direction I would've wanted it to go had the show continued like it should have. So, here you go, I own nothing etc. Rated for wherever the story goes. Hope you enjoy :)

Julie POV

-night of the concert, right after the group hug-

I'm pulling away slowly, still sniffling in the aftermath of all that emotion as the guys settle down too, gripping Luke's hand as we separate, refusing to let got for the moment, worried I wouldn't be able to again as we walk over to the couch, sitting down. I opened my mouth to say something to him, suddenly noticing the space Reggie and Alex were giving us, when Flynn busts in.

"Jules! This can't be the end of this, I'm sure there's a way…." she cuts off suddenly as her eyes settle on the space in front of her, starting right at…Reggie and Alex? Then her eyes lock on Luke and I, our joined hands. "Oh my god, you guys are holding hands…. OH MY GOD, I CAN SEE YOU GUYS!" She laughs in disbelief as she looks around at everyone, glancing at our hands she was considering something for a moment before walking over to Reggie….and poking him in his chest. Solidly. Everyone gasps in shock, more surprised than when I managed it. No one knew what it meant, and we all stood there in shock for a good few minutes. What did this mean? And of course, Alex starts pacing after a minute, always the bundle of nervous energy. The rest of us just stayed silent for a beat or two as we processed what was happening. Then the guys suddenly drew in a deep breath, each having a hand fly to their chests as they pant slightly.

"What? What is going on guys?" I asked, panicked that something terrible was happening as their breathing thankfully settled…. which shouldn't be a thing, since they were supposed to be dead.

"I…I think our hearts just took a beat," Luke responded quietly, his eyes widened in disbelief. My mouth dropped open, thinking I couldn't be any more surprised tonight than I had been. WHAT in the actual fuck was going on? What kind of power or influence did I have on them with that hug? I must figure it out fast, before the time comes to face off with Caleb again. Reggie and Alex settle in the chairs across from us, Flynn slumping next to me on the other side of the couch. Shock freezes us once again as we sit there, wondering what this all means. More questions to add to the list that's ever growing. I'm just happy they seem…...real. But crap, this likely means my dad and brother are going to find them real soon. We needed to come up with a story, and quick. "So, wait, can we still…." He suddenly poofs off the couch and right back, immediately and naturally grabbing my hand again when he settled back down. "Well, that answers that question," he says slowly.

"It's like…..we're both alive and dead right now, but how?" Reggie wondered out loud.

"That's what we're all trying to figure out, dude," Alex responded softly.

"Why don't we all take a deep breath, no pun intended, and take this one step at a time. Carlos knows, so let's get him and let him know what's going on, and we'll hopefully have a story to tell my dad by the morning." I thought about what a believable story could possibly be, but so far nothing. My statement showed more confidence than what I felt on the inside. I squeezed Luke's hands, glad I still could, my mind racing. First thing's first, getting Carlos out here. I disentangle myself from Luke and head inside, telling everyone I'll be right back, also giving Reggie and Alex a poke as I walk out, still a bit in disbelief. I wander back inside the house, greeting my dad casually as I walk by him so he wouldn't know anything's wrong, heading to Carlos's room, walking in as I knocked on the open door.

"Can't get anything past you, can I?" I asked him, laughing as I walk into his room, crossing my arms over my chest. "Ready for a bigger twist to this ghost story?" He nods eagerly, following me back down and out of the house. He managed to dash ahead of me, so I only caught the tail end of his wide-eyed face as I walk back into the garage as he stares at the guys, unblinking. "Seeing something strange?"

"I…...I can see them," he whispers quietly. "I can see them…WHAT is going on?!" he exclaims as his arms start flailing about, reacting in true Carlos fashion.

"That's what we're trying to figure out, little dude," Reggie said. We again all stood in silence for a moment, letting everything sink in and trying to figure out where the hell to go from here. Do we come up with what hopes to be a foolproof story? Or tell my dad the truth?

WELL, there you have it folks, managed to get the first bit out of my head. To those that follow my other stories, I'll get to them soon. Doing the best I can to get back into it. Also, for my fellow JATP fans: WE WERE FECKIN ROBBED, over a GODDAMN year to wait to tell us this…...JUST WHY. Please leave a review, it'll help encourage me more than you know 3
