Love Conquers All - Juke | JATP FANFICTION (BOOK ONE)

4x1. Reunited

"Mom! Wait up! Please!" Alex says pleading, and she stops. "Is this really happening?" She asks hesitantly, after turning to face him. "Yes mom it's me Alex!" She runs and hugs him tight. "Oh my sweet boy!" Alex chuckles, kissing the top of her head, she was relatively short compared to her children, that was the only thing Alex was proud to have from his father. "I'm so sorry, I didn't stick up for you when it came to your dad, I was afraid I was going to get hurt too." Alex's father was abusive to his mom and sister too. "It's alright, if him beating me up, saved you two, for the time being at least, then I'm glad to be of service." She smiles. "There's that big heart I've missed so much!" Alex smiles. "Wanna come see some old friends?" Alex asks, holding his arm out. "Yes." She smiles, linking arms with him, walking back with him to the group. "Hi other mom!" Luke says and Emily chuckles. "Hi! Oh um...." Emily smiles, taking her over to her and Mitch's table, as they all explained everything. "Oh who is this Caleb because I wanna meet him, and beat him with my purse!" Julie chuckles, changed into her pyjamas. "Oh hello dear, I'm Alex's mom, you guys did great tonight!" She beams. "Thank you Ms.?" Julie asks. "Beatrice." Julie smiles. "That's such a rock n roll name, thanks miss Beatrice!" Julie beams. "I'm sorry to be so forward but you are the girl, Luke writes about you a lot!" She looks at him. "Which now this all kind of makes sense." She nods to herself, drinking her club soda, as her and Alex catch up. "Yes I'm fine, your sister and I left after you y'know." Alex sighs after hearing that. "Allison?" He asks. "Um twenty seven, lives with me, she's doing great though." He smiles. "Hey Julie and the Phantoms! My name is...." Julie gasps. "Mr. Garrett! How've you been?!" The nice gentleman smiles, as Luke wipes Julie's sweat off her face, kissing her gently. "I've been great, hey you three boys look like the boys of the band I was going to sign in '95, Sunset Swerve?" The four friends say in unison. "Sunset Curve!" Mr. Garrett smiles. "Yes, anyway I came to officially welcome you to the family, first Rose, then Bobby, and now you four!" He smiles taking their record. "You guys meet me back here tomorrow, parents too!" He chuckles as Bobby follows him out. Julie smiles, tiredly climbing into Luke's arms. "Awe, my sweet angel, sweet dreams." He kisses her softly, playing with her hair. "Awe, is she the one?" Beatrice asks, as Luke wipes his nose. "Hey Dad, can I marry your daughter?" Ray sits down with them. "Most definitely, just wait at least a year." He smiles, as  he listens to Ray and Beatrice talk. Reggie and Alex, nod them over to their booth. "We'll be over there." Luke says, as he slides into the booth. "You wanna marry me?" Julie asks, with tears in her eyes. "I do." He smiles, eating his hotdog. "Can I try that?" She asks. "It's got maple syrup on it." Alex jokes. She just shrugs, taking a bite. "That's actually good!" She says, grabbing his hands as he holds the hotdog. "I stand corrected." Alex says, smiling as he eats his hotdog. "So I guess you are in courtship now, congrats!" Reggie smiles. "Oh my gosh, I'm in courtship everyone!" Julie beams, Luke kisses her head. "Yay!" He claps.  Luke then gets up to grab his guitar. "What are you doing?" Julie asks, as he kisses her head. He smirks, getting his guitar, then stands on an empty table. "Band mates and family and Willie meet me at the main stage in fifteen minutes please!" He runs to the stage, and gets the left over flowers from the show. "What is he doing?" The parents, and the boys ask, knowingly. "I don't know, do you?" Julie asks, and they all just smirk. Luke decorates the room, like the ballroom in their dream, it then dawns on him that this is the place from his childhood. "Well played memory, well played." He sighs, giving everyone a thumbs up, walking Julie down the isle, as she realized, the room looked like their dream. "Good evening everyone, this place was something special to me growing up, I always told my parents, I would bring my mystery girl here, well she's here so. She showed me this song by Jason Derulo, about finding your soulmate." Julie wipes her eyes. "You wanna come up here?" She walks up the stairs, standing next to him. "Please sit everyone!" Julie grabs her stool and sits caddy corner to Luke, facing him. He starts strumming. "105 is the number that comes to my head
When I think of all the years I wanna be with you
Wake up every morning with you in my bed
That's precisely what I plan to do
And you know one of these days when I get my money right
Buy you everything and show you all the finer things in life
Will forever be enough, so there ain't no need to rush
But one day, I won't be able to ask you loud enough
I'll say will you marry me
I swear that I will mean it
I'll say will you marry me
How many girls in the world can make me feel like this?
Baby I don't ever plan to find out
The more I look, the more I find the reasons why
You're the love of my life
You know one of these days when I get my money right
Buy you everything and show you all the finer things in life
Will forever be enough, so there ain't no need to rush
But one day, I won't be able to ask you loud enough
I'll say will you marry me
I swear that I will mean it
I'll say will you marry me
And if I lost everything
In my heart it means nothing
'Cause I have you, girl I have you
So get right down on bended knee
Nothing else would ever be
Better, better
The day when I say
I'll say will you marry me
I swear that I will mean it
I'll say will you marry me
I'll say will you marry me
I swear that I will mean it
I'll say will you marry me
Ooh whoa ooh oh
Ooh whoa ooh oh
Ooh whoa ooh oh
Would you marry me baby
105 is the number that comes to my head
When I think of all the years I wanna be with you
Wake up every morning with you in my bed
That's precisely what I plan to do." He finishes the song, and Julie hugs him tight and they kiss, as they all clap.
