Hello! I'm Stormtress, and new to the land of fanfiction. This is twoshot, so keep an eye out for the second part! Feel free to R&R!
"That's it! I can't take it anymore!" I yelled, storming in. I kicked the nearest thing I could find, a milk crate filled with CDs, sending them flying through the air, effectively startling the boys.
"Lanes! What's wrong!?" Corey suddenly exclaimed, sitting up from the couch. He looked at me with major concern in his eyes.
"It's…It's…Ugh!" Why couldn't I get this out!? He was driving me nuts!
"Laney, what's wrong? Just tell us." Kin said from over by the computer. Both twins were looking at me with the same concern as Corey.
"Yeah! Just tell us." Kon piped up.
I pointed at Corey, then at me, then waved my arms in the air, stomping my foot. "He's just so… you know! He can't take a hint to save his life! I just can't stand it anymore!"
I saw Kin thinking, putting together my frustration and pointless anger, along with vague hand movements. You could almost see the equations running through his mind:
Frustrated Laney + Apparently Oblivious Corey = …!
Realization snapped through him, and he immediately grabbed Kon's wrist and started dragging him out of the garage. "Sorry guys, we have to go. Our mom said she needed help… uh… rearranging her spoon collection! Yeah! That's what we need to do."
"When did Mom say that? I thought she was going-" Kon started, and then shut up when he received a warning glare from Kin. "Oh. Okay. Um, bye!" Kon yelled, then was pulled out of the garage by his brother before Kin slammed the door on his head.
Corey looked at the closed garage door curiously, then back to me. He shrugged, then got up and walked over to me. "Well, that was random." The previous look of concern then settled over his face, and he put his hands on my shoulders. "Okay, Lanes. What's bothering you?"
I felt a fresh bolt of anger surge through me, like lightning. "Core, it's- it's- it's you!" I finally yelled. I shoved him in the chest, sending him sprawling on the ground. His eyes were wide, pure shock on his face. "What-what do you mean?" He almost whispered.
"It's you, just you! How you always somehow manage to come up with plans out of the blue! How you're never ready for anything, how you go face to face with Trina for lyrics and the band!" I began to pace back and forth, Corey now leaning on his elbow, still on the ground, still in shock. "It's the way you smile, the way you're always there for me! How you somehow manage to ignore every little thing that's happened between us. All my little blunders, you're never suspicious! You're so just so damn oblivious!" I stop pacing, standing in front of him. I throw my arms in the air out of anger. "How you've never noticed the distinct possibility that I'm in fact in love with you!"
At that point, I grabbed the front of his shirt and yanked him to his feet. I pulled his face close to mine, so that our foreheads are touching. "So, Core, I'm done keeping my little secret. I love you. Now you know. I don't care what's gonna happen next. I just couldn't keep it in anymore." I literally growl this last part, tears starting to streak down my face. I give one last pull on his collar, and bring his face to mine in what I know is his first kiss.
The rest of the world suddenly conveniently doesn't exist. I can almost literally feel the sparks flying, and my mind consumed in fireworks. The kiss is short, less than three seconds, but it says more than words ever could say. I break away, and drop Corey's collar.
The poor guy before me lands on his knees, and falls to his hands. Tears are streaking over my face, tears of both happiness and sadness at what I've done. I look down, and see Core is pulling himself to his feet in front of me. "L-Lanes?" He whispers, looking down at me. He's crying too, but for some strange reason, he's also smiling.
"I had no idea you felt the same way." He says, and pulls me into a hug. I can't help it- I break into a smile to as I wrap my arms around him.
