'Look out look inside of you'

<3

Julie, Olivia, Ray and Carlos all set the table before sitting down. Leaving an empty chair for Julie's mom still.

"Lt's do this" Rays says holding his hands out for Julie and Olivia to hold, Olivia doing the same for Carlos to hold her hand letting the sibling hold theirs for their mom. "Your turn Carlos"

"Thank you for out leftovers and the power of the mighty microwave. Amen" Carlos says

"Amen" Julie repeats as they all let go of their hands and start to eat.

"So... Carlos tells me he found you in the studio." Ray starts a conversation

"She was out there talking to herself and Liv too" Carlos replies

"We were rehearsing for a play" Julie lies before they hear a small 'Hello, Hello' behind the door. They realise who it is rushing to hide the plate set for Julie's mom but not without Carlos commenting a 'Oh Busted. Olivia chucks the fork and knife behind her in a panic, Julie grabs the plate and hides it on her lap and Carlos grabs the cloth and hides it on his lap.

"Yeah we're in here" Ray calls out. As they all go back to eating like nothing happened.

"Hi! Spaghetti again" Aunt Victoria hums and places down her own cooked food on the side.

"Yeah" Ray Chuckles back.

"That's to bad. I bought you my pasteles and arroz con pollo" Aunt Victoria says back picking it up and carrying it to the fridge

"Mh yum" Ray says

"Thank, tia. It smells great." Julie replies looking back to her.

"You can have it tomorrow. I can't let you have leftovers every night" She places the food in the fridge and closes the door again. "My sister would kill me, may she rest in peace" She walks over to the table as they all continue eating "Oh... I see things here are going better?"

"Actually, Julie has been cleaning out mom's studio along with Olivia's help. Hopefully, we can get the house on the market and some offers soon." Ray tells Victoria. This makes Olivia frown as she remembers Julie is going to move.

"Ah. Hi Olivia. Well, I like the sound of that. Moving from here is only gonna help you move on" Victoria replies back holding onto Julie's chair. What the two girls don't notice is the three ghost boys walk through the door. "You've got to rip that Band-Aid off and get the pain over with" Just as she finished saying this Julie turns and sees the ghost boys this makes her scream startling everyone in the room. Olivia turns to where she saw Julie looking and sees the three boys making her go wide eyed. Also noticing them stop in alarm from Julie's small outburst.

"That's me. ripping the band-aid off" Julie chuckles awkwardly making everyone laugh and Olivia and Julie share a look.

"There's my brave girl" Victoria grabs Julie's chin making her face her. However, when she lets go Julie turns the opposite way face-to-face with Luke.

"Hey, Julie, I really like what you guys did with the place" He tells her

"You shouldn't be here." Julie whisper shouts back but is heard by everyone, making Olivia cringe and Victoria gasp.

"Oh, I'm just here to help, mija" She says to Julie as Julie turns to look at her alarmed.

"Uh... I think that's our cue to leave" Alex whispers to the boys they nod and back away.

"She means, you should be at Pilates" Olivia explains for Julie with wide eyes.

"Thank you for bringing us food" Julie adds and hugs her turning sending a stern look towards to boys

"We should've called first" Reggie whispers and the leave

"It's nothing. And now that you're no longer in the music program, you can concentrate on classes that matters" As Victoria says this Olivia looks at Julie wide eyes, Ray looks up in wonder and Carlos looks up at Julie thinking on how to help her. Julie lets go of the hug and slowly sits forward again. "You got the E-mail from the school, right?"

"Yeah, We're still discussing it." Ray says looking straight at Julie, then back at Victoria with a forced smile.

"Bueno. I'm off the Pilates" Victoria blows a kiss to Carlos as he pretends to bat it away. She kisses Julie's head waves goodbye to Olivia earning one in return.

"So, Julie wanna hear how I slip into home and was almost safe" Carlos tries to save Julie

"You're a good brother. That's not gonna work." Ray says then click his fingers telling him to leave.

"I tried" He whispers to Julie, standing up taking his plate with him, Olivia following in suit not leaving before giving Julie's hand a squeeze.

"So Carlos wanna tell me about it" Olivia asks as they walk to the couch and sit down.

"Really" Carlos asks in excitement

"Yeah" Olivia replies. She watches as Carlos goes on a rant about his game nodding. She may not understand but as long as Carlos is happy she doesn't mind. However, Carlos is soon stopped as they hear music coming from the garage. Julie and Olivia making eye contact as they realise what it is, well more like who.

"What's that" Carlos asks as he and Olivia walk back over.

Julia stands up taking the plate off her lap. "I must have left the stereo on in the garage. Hang on, cone on Olivia" Julie rushes off grabbing Olivia's hand before walking off to the garage.

They both walk in to see Alex on the drums, Reggie on a bass guitar and Luke on an electric. Olivia did have to say they sounded amazing, but knowing that every one could hear them, then that didn't make them sound amazing.

Julie and Olivia stomp in front of the guys. "Guys! Guys, stop!" They both try shouting at them to stop. Luke turns to them both but continues playing "Stop! Cut it out!" . Reggie stops but Luke carries on playing a riff and Alex hitting his drums until finally they stop. "The whole neighborhood could hear you, I thought I told you to leave"

"Wait people can hear us play" Luke asks, making Alex stand up and Reggie shocked.

"Yes! And so did my dad and my brother" Julie whisper shouts at them.

"Wait so only you two can see us, but everyone can hear us?" This earns a nod from Luke and a smile from Reggie. "I mean, what kind of ghosts are we?"

"Who cares, man? People can hear us play!" Luke fist bump Reggie then fist bumps Alex. Julie and Olivia stand being them with their arms crossed.

"We might be dead, but our music isn't" Reggie comments with a smile and fist bumps Alex

Ray opens the garage door and walks in.

"Dad! " Julie exclaims turning to look at him.

Ray walks over and unknowingly stands next to Reggie. "Hey. Just making sure your both ok" He turns his head and notices all the instruments.

"Yeah, we're fine. I just had to turn off the CD player" Julie tells him while motioning towards it

"Wait. Is this the junk that was in the loft" Ray asks as he finally realizes why the instruments are there.

"Junk!" Luke repeats in shock

Ray walks up to Alex's drum set and starts playing it and messing around. "Some of this stuff is in pretty good shape" He continues messing around with the drums unaware of the three ghost boys staring at him with shock and anger. Olivia notices and pulls an awkward face. "Hey maybe we can make a couple bucks"

"What? Yo, stop touching my drums. Tell him to stop touching my drums" Alex looks at the two girls then points at Ray still playing around with it.

Luke turns to the two girls and raises his hands at Ray to get them to do something, this just earns a shoulder shrug from both girls not having any idea how they could make him stop.

Ray walks back around to the front of the drums and looks at the two girls standing right in-between Luke and Reggie, still no idea that they are there. "I like that song you had on"

"Sweet" Luke exclaims and walks closer to Ray "We're sunset curve"

"Tell your friends" Reggie adds also walking closer to Ray. This makes Olivia crack a small smile of amusement, also making Julie happy knowing she's not as freaked out anymore. Alex walks and stands next to Reggie.

"It's just an old CD Julie found." Olivia explains, this earns shocked looks from the boys as they stare at her, Olivia avoids there eyes.

"Well, it's nice that you're listening to music again" Ray says to Julie softly. "Out here you can play whatever you want, whenever you want" Ray throws his arms out his hands going straight through Luke and Reggie's chest. This makes Olivia's eyes go wide, and puts a hand to her mouth to try and muffle the laughter.

"Aw! That's nice" Reggie and the other boys smile and look at Julie and Olivia.

"Stay out of this" Julie scolds Reggie, forgetting that her Dad can't see the boys and thinks she's talking to him.

"I- I'm sorry honey. I didn't..." Ray trails off

"Oh no, no, no. Not you. I mean... uh... er..." Julie tires to explain but fails, she walks over to her dad and takes him arms leading him to the garage doors, Olivia stands there waiting for Julie to finish, she turns to look at the ghost, finding them all looking at her. This makes her jump back in surprise with wide eyes, Reggie gives a big smile and a wave, earning a small one back from Olivia, Alex give a smile as a way of comfort. He could tell she was just as scared as he was, and Luke, well let's just say he staring very intensely at her. When Olivia looked over to him ,she had to admit he was very cute, definitely her type.

Julie shuts the garage door and turns to face the boys and Olivia, she grabs Olivia's hand holding it tightly and getting her to stand next to her.

"He likes out songs" Luke says with a small laugh at the end

"Oh yeah. He doesn't count. He's a dad" Alex informs them all with a whisper at the end.

"Why can't you guys just be normal ghosts?" Julie shouts at them making them all turn to her. "Hang out at an old mansion. I hear Pasadena's nice." Julie groans, make sure she's got Olivia's hand, opens the door and starts to walk back to the house.

"So are we still gonna watch some movies?" Olivia asks Julie ask they start to walk up to the gate

"Yeah of course-" Julie gets cut off by Olivia screaming in alarm as Luke ghost poofs in front of them both.

"Stop doing that. I'm serious" Olivia scolds him after scaring her.

"Oh. I'm sorry." Luke apologizes and walks up closer to the girls.

"What do you want" Julie asks folding her arms, this makes her drop Olivia's hand, but Olivia is quick and links her arm through Julie's. 

"I know this is all completely insane, but you do know how rad this is?" Luke starts to explain "People... Actual people can hear us play."

"Yeah, it's just I've just had a really, really awful day, and Vivi here is very confused right now so I just wanna go up to my room and watch movies with her until we fall asleep ok?" Julie explains. "I gotta go" Julie walks past Luke to get closer to the gate Olivia being dragged by her fast steps almost tripper over her own feet.

"Well, I'm sorry you had a bad day, but three guys just found out that they had a bad 25 years" Luke explains again. This makes Julie and Olivia turn to face him again. " and then they found out that the one thing, the one thing they lived for in the first place they can still do. That's pretty rad"

"You're right" Julie replies. This makes Olivia surprised, 'is Julie warming up to them'. She questions in her head? "It's just..."

"Your bad day. Yeah. I know" Luke finishes her sentence off. Julie looks down, Olivia notices her mood and grabs her hand giving it a comforting squeez, Julie squeezes back not letting go. "Look, I'm sorry we came into both of your life's, but what I just felt in there actually made me feel alive again. We all felt alive again. So, you can kick us out if you want, but we're not giving up music. We can play again. That's a gift no musician would ever turn down" Julie stairs at Luke while he talks, Olivia stares into his eyes, she can read people well, she can see the desperation in his eyes and how much this means to him.

"You gotta know that, clearly your mom is into music" Luke points out.

This makes Julie look down in sadness and corrects him. "Was". Olivia notices her sadness and gives her hand another squeez trying to provide as much comfort as she can. "She passes away"

"I am.. so sorry" Luke apologies

"Yeah, we.. we didn't know"  Alex adds on softly. Him and Reggie showing up during the conversation.

"It's all right" Julie sighs "You guys haven't seen her anywhere, have you?" Julie faces Alex and Reggie "From wherever you're from"

"No. no, I mean, you're kind of the first person we've seen."  Alex explains

"Yeah, but she's not dead, so it doesn't answer her question." Reggie points out. This makes Olivia widen her eyes, maybe Julie isn't dead but what is she is dead.

"Yeah. I think she knows what we mean" Alex replies looking at Reggie "I'm sorry for your loss"

"Thanks. Sorry I got mad. You guys are kinda good" Julie apologises.

This makes Olivia look up and agrees. "Oh my god, thank God you said that, I've been thinking it for ages and I agree, the way you play blends together perfectly. I love it. I mean-" Olivia's rent gets cut short by Julie nudging her with an amused smile.

"Kinda? Y-you know that's like 25 years of ruse just getting dust off" Luke explains, Alex and Reggie smile taking the compliment. Also laughing a little at Olivia's rant, loving the girl already.

"Yeah. Do you play the piano too?" Reggie asks

"No, I don't play. That was my mom's stuff in there. But Vivi here plays and writes her own songs, she's one of the most talented people I know" Julie explains

"Pshhhh, I wouldn't say most talented but I do think I'm pretty good" Olivia says nervously. She's never been good at taking compliments, they make her nervous. This earns a small shake of the head from Julie and amused look from all the boys.

"Ok Olivia we definitely need to hear you play one day and see what you've wrote" Luke says to Olivia, this makes her smile and nod her head. "And Julie no way, your mom is and amazing song writer"

"She was" Julie agrees. This make Olivia nod her head as well. She always loved Julie's mom, she was like the mom she always wanted. "Wait How would you know?"

"There's a song on the piano, if it's hers... your mom was really talented." Luke explains

Julie makes sure she has Olivia's hand once more before walking off towards the gate. Olivia turns to look at her and gives her a look to say. 'come on you know you want to let them stay'. This makes Julie stop and turn to the boys " I guess... if you need a place to stay. You can stay in there" Julie tells them

"There's a bathroom in the back, and a couch that turns into a bed if you still use any of that stuff" Olivia adds on muttering the last part.

"Dibs on the shower!" Reggie jumps in quickly with his hand up making everyone turn to him in alarm. "I just really like showers and sometimes the occasional bath" He adds on explaining. This earns a snort from Olivia, Luke turns to her and smiles in amusement.

"This... is just too weird" Julie says while moving her hands in a circle motion. She grabs Olivia's hand once more and starts to walk to the gate and to the house. The boys overhearing the conversation as they leave.

"Can we finally watch movie's now. I really wanna watch 'The Sandlot" Olivia asks Julie as they walk to the gate.

"Yes, and you only wanna watch that movie because you think Benny is cute" Julie replies back in amusement.  

"Well he is. Have you seen him" Olivia explains desperately.

When they make it to Julie's room, Olivia starts to get the movie ready and Julie is texting Flynn about what happened.

"What would you say if I told you me and Liv let three ghost live in my mom's studio" Julie says out loud. "You'd say were crazy" She mutters then deletes the message quickly, and chucks her phone down on her bed.

"The movie is all ready" Olivia tells Julie as she jumps on the bed. They both get comfy under the cover, as soon as they are Olivia rests her head on Julie's shoulder, Julie rests her head on Olivia's and looks out the window with a small smile then turns and watches the movie when Olivia presses play.

The next morning Olivia is woken up to Julie singing in her mom's garage. The second she hears her voice, she rushes to get ready for school and runs down to meet Julie there.

When she opens the doors, she sees Julie holding the music sheet in her arms tears falling down her face, she rushes over and sits next to her on the stool. Unaware of the three ghost boys watching behind them.

"Hey Juju, it's ok. I got you" Olivia tells her, opening her arms for a hug which make Julie instantly jump into her arms hugging her tightly scared she's gonna go. "It's ok, I got you, I got you" Olivia mutters and places a small kiss to Julie's head. "I got you always" Olivia mutters once more. And it's true, she's got Julie. Always.
