Third Pov

 -"What you ding here?"- Luke asks -" Such Hostility, I'm just here to congratulate you on your big night"- Caleb says he was seating in the piano in front of the four musicians, Cristal blood was boiling, she tries to run at him but Reggie's put both his arms around her waist holding it tight stopping her, Caleb chuckles at the girl's act, she almost growled at him -"Not everyone gets to play the Orpheum"- Caleb says -"No. OK, we know that it's your stamp that's hurting us We already told you, we have a band, We don't wanna join your little club"- Luke protested -"Yeah, And you can't make us either Sr"- Alex says -"We're not scared of you"- Cristal says trying to get out of Reggie's grip -"Right, you're crossing over tonight. So exciting! Funny thing about the cross over, no one really knows what's waiting on the other side, but I know what's happening on this side"- Caleb says he then blows them a kiss that forces the four ghosts to puff out before they could even try o stop it.

The four ghosts pop back at the ghost club, they weren't wearing the same clothes anymore, Alex was wearing a light pink suit with a butterfly tie, and he as holding his drum sticks, Luke had a dark blue suit and he as holding his electric guitar, Reggie was wearing a wine red suits with some black details and he was holding his bass, Cristal was wearing a dark green mid dress with shoulder sleeves and a v cleavage, she was wearing a pair of stilettos holding her keytar, the four ghosts exchange confused looks before turning back to face Caleb -"Well don't you look nice"- Caleb says -"Sweet threads"- Reggie says, if he wasn't looking so hot right now, Cristal would slap him -"How did you know your sizes?"- Alex asks Cristal roll her eyes -"that's your question?"- Luke says like he was reading the Girls mind, she was in between him and Reggie -"I know you boys and girl aren't my biggest fans and an eternity at my club might seem overwhelming But... I just put you in sweet threads, so humor me this one last pitch"- He says, Cristal was getting tensed up, she was scared, she feels Reggie interlocking their hands so she exhales trying to calm down -"Now for starters, Isn't it nice that you're all here together? And believe me, everything you want, Including willie is here"- Caleb says pointing at Alex, who widened his eyes -"And on my stage, you don't vanish when the music stops you soak in the applause for as long as you want, the connection that you will feel with that audience will be like no other, I promise"- Caleb says looking at Luke cheering is heard from beside the curtain -"Shh, did you hear that? They're waiting for you"- Caleb says, at the same time another jolt passes through their bodies making them all groan -"That one looked like it hurt"- Caleb says sarcastically -"Fuck you"- Cristal hisses through her teeth -"Now let me remind you, the three of you boys don't know if playing at the Orpheum is your unfinished business, Do you really have time to make that mistake?"- Caleb asks, he then looks straight into Cristal's eyes -"She... she know that's not her unfinished business but she willing to make that sacrifice to save you, but is it really worth it?"- Caleb says, Cristal could feel the three ghosts eyes burning a hole to her face, but she keeps the eye contact with Caleb -"yes, it is worth it, because I love them, but wouldn't understand that right?"- Cristal growls but Caleb doesn't seem faced -" I suggest you accept my offer because the clock is ticking"- Another jolt passes through they bodies making them groan -"espeacialy for her"- Caleb says, another jolt passes through Cristal's body, just hers, she screams in pain loosing her balance, quickly Reggie puts his arms around her waist holding her up with her back leaning against his chest -"You know where to find me"- Caleb says as the curtains open, once he's gone the three of them turns to Cristal -"Why didn't you tell us it wasn't you unfinished business?"- Alex asks hurt -"because it would only cause unnessessary pain Alex, I got the stamp before you guys, I have less time than you guys, and it's not like my unfinished business is easier like yours"- She says, as they watched Caleb gets on stage -"having kids"- Reggie says sundenly all the boys look at him confused-"That's your unfinished business is it? having kids"- He asks, Cristal keeps her look at Caleb on stage, but she slowly nods, the conversation stops as Caleb starts singing -"You know you wanna take a chance and be a little bit bad Ain't nothing quite like living on the edge so get ready to go I'm chasing down a thrill, and lookin' fit to kill So listen to the words a wise man said He said, "Covington, I got an offer that you can't refuse" You got nothing to lose, boys Lose, lose, lose You got nothing to lose, boys Lose, lose, lose You got nothing to lose"- As Caleb sings Alex puff out and puff back on the stage confuse but doing a killer drum set, as he finishes Reggie joins the stage doing a bass solo but his eyes were still on Cristal like he was asking for help -"Now Luke"- Caleb says, Luke walks on stage doing his best to fight it, but doing an impressive guitar solo -"Cmon Cristal"- Caleb says, Cristal tries to figt it with everything she has but it doesn't work, she enters the stage playing her keytar -"How'd do you like my new band"- Caleb ask and the crowd cheers, he then starts doing some adlips while Cristal did a keys solo, her eye passing between her friends, he ends the song the crowd cheers, the four ghosts loks at each other breathing heavly.
