    Summary

    What am I now?
    What am I now?
    What if I'm someone I don't want around?
    I'm falling again,
    I'm falling again,
    I'm falling
    What if I'm down?
    What if I'm out?
    What if I'm someone you won't talk about?
    I'm falling again,
    I'm falling again,
    I'm falling

    Summary

    ...Sometimes, Julie can still see the reflection of the red and blue ambulance lights flashing against the bedroom window.
    ~
    The second the red and blue flashing lights disappear around the corner, Emily Patterson gets up from the armchair in her living room and takes slow, shaky steps to the bedroom down the hall, holding onto the wall for balance.
    ~
    Emily will always remember losing her son, and the sadness, shame, regret, and hopelessness that followed. Those feelings live with her every day, even twenty-five years later. How could she ever forget them?
    ~
    or, the lyrics of this song match Alex, Luke, Willie, Julie, Emily, Reggie, and Bobby in that order.

    Summary

    Emily Patterson doesn’t deserve to grieve.

    Grief is reserved for those who have been by the person’s side throughout their life. Who have supported them and loved them and stepped up to the plate at every opportunity. Who put in the effort to have a relationship.

    Emily didn’t do that for Luke -- not well enough. And it’s something she’s regretted every single day since Luke left. But… it’s also something she never strived for. She never tried, not hard enough, not at all. Because there were so many things she could’ve done better. She had so much time to fix her relationship with Luke. So much time to get closer to him, to tell him she loved him. There was so much time. So little time. And then no time at all.

    Summary

    Honestly if Luke can go back and change the past, he would.

    He wished he could get rid of what he said to his mother.
    He wished he could work harder in school, get good grades.
    And most importantly....

    He wished he could stop himself from meeting Bobby Wilson.

    Or
    After an accident that caused damage to the Patterson family, they decided to get up and leave.

    When Luke arrived in Los Feliz HighSchool, he’s hoping to keep his head down and get through the year. That’s until he saw a familiar face of a person who betrayed him 1 year ago.

    Let’s just hope a certain girl, with a wrecking ball of a voice, helps guide him through the year.

    Summary

    It’s nighttime, and the garage is so dark that Luke can barely see anything around him. He’s still and silent, and his friends are all sitting around him in a circle. They’re steady, solid, reliable presences at his side, and the fact that they’re all there, that they’re dead and they’re sitting with Julie in her garage instead of… wherever they should be, reminds Luke of something. He pulls the strength he needs from his friends to finally shift his position -- his joints scream in protest, but he ignores the pain, because there’s a new pain jolting through his heart. His wide eyes find Reggie’s first, and his mouth spits out the question -- the words he’s not really actually sure he wants an answer to at all.

    “Do you think she had unfinished business?”

    Summary

    Luke wonders if Emily misses him as much as he misses her -- and he wonders if it’s better or worse for her, sitting in front of a stone when she wants to talk to her son. It’s an inanimate object, one that can’t hear what she’s saying -- and the person she’s speaking to can’t hear, either, but at least there’s no hope for it.

    Luke has to stand here, watching Emily, and he’s so close yet so far from what he wants. He’s there; he’s speaking to her and the words are leaving his mouth and he can hear them, clear as a bell in the otherwise silent room. And if the world weren’t so cruel, Emily would be able to hear them too. Is it better to talk to a rock? Something that you know would never be able to hear you or talk back?

    Summary

    Luke’s getting used to being a ghost.

    That doesn’t prevent him from being curious of -- and amazed by -- the new circumstances surrounding his afterlife, though. The fact that Julie can see them, even though they’re dead, is so cool. And it has Luke thinking.

    Is Julie really the only person alive who can see them? How deep does their connection run -- and do they have the same connection with anyone else that’s still alive?

    Is being able to be seen a choice they can make, an ability they can unlock?

    Can Luke… make himself visible, if he tries hard enough?

    Because out of all the people who were alive at the same time he was, Luke can think of the one person he wants to see most right off the bat: Emily Patterson.

    Summary

    Luke’s songbook has been through a lot over the years.

    It’s had tears soaked into its pages. It’s had crumbs stuck in between its binding. It’s had dozens of songs written on it in fast, messy handwriting, thousands of words based on Luke’s inner thoughts, feelings, hopes, and dreams.

    It’s survived years worth of scribbles, cross-outs, rips and tears; even hugs and kisses, when Luke’s written something he’s sure will be a hit someday.

    It’s survived death, some time in a dark room, and a tumbling trip back to Earth twenty five years in the future.

    And now, the boy who’s been writing in it for all that time, whose soul is attached to it in ways most people wouldn’t even understand, is using its pages for something else.

    Something no one would have ever expected.

    A list.

    Ways I Can Cross Over.

    Summary

    “i wouldn’t be where i am today if i hadn’t been a part of julie and the phantoms. alex and reggie, you supported me in ways no one else could, thank you for that. and…” she had trailed off, cleared her throat. “and thank you to luke patterson. i never understood what people meant about living and breathing music until i met you. you showed me how to love, and i’ll hold that with me always. thank you.”

    the applause for julie had been incredible, a standing ovation for this woman on the cusp of true stardom. luke had looked up as she left the stage, saw the butterflies trailing up her left arm, had remembered how he’d held her hand as the ink was placed under her skin.

    (or how the story of julie and luke ended, and how it begins again)

    Summary

    “Flynn,” Luke asked, voice just above a whisper. “Where’s Julie?” Flynn pulled away from him to reveal her tear-stained face. Before she could answer Flynn doubled over in a fit of coughs and a paramedic pushed Luke away from her to attach her to an oxygen mask. Luke’s eyes scanned the crowd that was recently pulled from the cafeteria and didn’t see Julie. Luke was hoping, begging for there to be any chance Julie made it out, but one look at Flynn’s face told him all he needed to know.

    Julie was still trapped inside the burning school building
