PROLOUGE
"Hey guy's, where's Core?" Laney asked tuning her guitar. "I don't…know…." Kon said between chews. Kin and Kon were having a contest to see who could eat the most pizza in 5 minutes. Boys, you gotta' love em' Laney though putting her guitar in the case. Corey came downstairs from his room walking back words. "Core, what are you doing?" Laney asked confused. "Wha?" he turned his head around, twisting his body and falling down the stairs. "Ow!" he said wincing in pain. "Corey!" Kin said pausing him and Kon's Pizza Fest. He quickly got up and brushed off his pants regaining his cool composer. " .AWESOME!" he shouted. Classic Core…. Laney thought as Corey walked over to the stage. "Guys, I have something I need to tell you." Laney said as the guys kept their attention on their own well beings. "I have to quit the band." She said. They all stared at her, one of the strings on Corey's guitar popping. "What, why?" he asked staring at her wide-eyed. "Wait, you said you HAVE to quit the band, is someone forcing you, is it Trina, that evil shru, I'm gonna show her a piece of my mind!" Kin said quickly shaking his fist in the air. "No it's technically my own choice." She answered staring at the ground. It was then Corey noticed Laney was wearing her hair curled, and had on a frilly pink skirt with a yellow top saying 'I Love Sun'. "What's with the ensemble Lanes?" Corey asked her still confused. "I guess I felt since I was changing destination, I should change my attire. "Wait did you say 'change of destination'?" Kon asked. "Yeah, that's why I have to quit the band, I'm moving." Laney said.
"Wait, did you just say your moving?" like, moving moving?" Kon asked. "Where? When?" Kin asked. "I'm moving tomorrow to Miami, Florida." She answered. Corey stared up into space and then went back to tuning his guitar. Laney watched and noticed tears were dripping down his cheeks. For the first time ever, Corey was crying. Laney felt guilty as she watched Corey cry making her feel in some way this was her fault. She still never had the courage to tell him she liked him. And now she might never be able to. "Bye guys, I have to go finish packing. The twins tackled her in a fit of hugs making her cry happily knowing that they'll never forget her. She outstretched her arms hoping Corey would give her one last hug. Corey just sat there tuning his guitar. Laney dropped her arms disappointed and turned around starting to walk away when someone came up behind her and wrapped her in a tight hug. "Bye Lanes." He whispered in her ear. Corey let go and Laney opened the Groj door. "I'll miss you the most. She sad before walking home, her tears leaving a trail behind her, the last thing she gives Grojband.
Corey POV
I can't believe Lanes is moving. I stared into space her words echoing in my mind. 'I'll miss you the most.' What did she mean. I didn't have time to think about it as my phone vibrated next to me. I checked it and saw I got a text massage from Laney.
Laney: Meet me in the park
Corey: y?
Laney: Just come
I put my phone in my pocket and carefully walked downstairs to the basement hopeful not to wake anyone. Thankfully I didn't make a peep as I opened and closed the Groj door making my descent into the cold night.
I finally made it to the park and sat down on the bench where Laney and I first met.
*Flashback Starts*
I was walking in the park admiring the beautiful scenery and lost in my train of thought. Not looking where I was going I bumped into a short girl with red hair running forward while looking behind her. Both of them fell on the ground and looked at each other . "Ow sorry!" we said in unison getting up off the ground. "Laney, it's your turn!" a guy shouted running towards the girl. "I know, I'm trying to get some distance!" she shouted back making the guy turn around. "Hi I'm Corey." I said reaching out to shake her hand. Shaking hands the girl replied "I'm Laney." "So what are you doing?" I asked noticing the football in her hands. "Oh, me and the guys are trying to see who can throw the farthest spiral onto a brick wall. Follow me." She said grabbing my hand and pulling me to the other end of the park. "Hey! What are you-" was all I said before she threw a perfect spiral. Running back at full speed she pulled me through the park until we came upon a brick wall and a bunch of guys about 3 years older than us. After a few seconds the football came out of nowhere and hit the brick wall. It fell down her catching immediately, the name Laney Penn showing. "A perfect spiral." She said then walked to a bench farther away pulling me close behind. "We sat on the bench, me breathing heavily and she barely even broke a sweat. "Wow you're tough for a guy." I complemented her. "Thanks, do you play and instrument?" Laney had asked. "Yeah, why?" I replied startled by the question. Out of nowhere she pulled out a purple base with Kiwi colored strings matching the color of her eyes. "You play?" I asked stunned. " A little." She said, and started playing my favorite song.
My Life – By Me, I made this one, Enjoy
Girly girls are sitting there looking so glam
Cheerleader's right there looking so fab
I 'm right here and I'm just being me
Jocks sit around talking bout' sports
My IQ is awesome though my status is really short
Being picked on day and night
Just thinking when the time will be right
You are who are
I am who I am
You are you
I am me
And that's all you need to see
Did it ever cross your mind
That I wasn't alright
Feeling left alone
As a worthless drone
You pick on me
I don't pick on you
I want to try
But it would be to rude
Because you are you
I am me
What I am is all you need to see
Because My Life is My Life
You can't change that
I am who I am
There is no difference
So if you wanna hang out with me
You better see the real me
Her voice was clear and beautiful and she played perfectly. We were friends instantly.
*Flashback Ends*
"Laney?" I call looking into the darkness. A figure jumps down from a tree and starts walking towards me. "AAAAHHHHH!" I yelled. When I made out the figure as Laney I stopped screaming and tried to breathe. "Lanes you scared me!" I said sitting back down on the bench. " I have a song for you." I said finally breathing again. " Ok." She said. I pulled out my acoustic and started strumming the guitar.
Owl City-When Will I See You Again
I do not own this song, if you don't know it it's from Disney's Wreck It Ralph This is meant as the Acoustic Version
"When Can I See You Again?"
When can we do this again?
When can I see you again?
When can we do this again?
When can I see you again?
When can we do this again?
When can I see you again?
Switch on the sky and the stars glow for you
Go see the world 'cause it's all so brand new
Don't close your eyes 'cause your future's ready to shine
It's just a matter of time, before we learn how to fly
Welcome to the rhythm of the night
There's something in the air you can't deny
It's been fun but now I've got to go
Life is way too short to take it slow
But before I go and hit the road
I gotta know, 'til then,
when can we do this again?
Oh oh oh oh
When can I see you again?
Oh oh oh oh
When can we do this again?
Oh oh oh oh
I gotta know, when can I see you again?
(When can I see you again?)
Joined at the hip, yeah your sidekick needs you
Life is a trip down the road that leads you
Look all around at all the mountains you haven't climbed
It's just a matter of time, before we learn how to fly
Welcome to the rhythm of the night
There's something in the air you can't deny
It's been fun but now I've got to go
Life is way too short to take it slow
But before I go and hit the road
I gotta know, 'til then,
when can we do this again?
Oh oh oh oh
When can I see you again?
Oh oh oh oh
When can we do this again?
Oh oh oh oh
I gotta know,
When can I see you again?
Don't close your eyes 'cause your future's ready to shine
It's just a matter of time, before we learn how to fly
Welcome to the rhythm of the night
There's something in the air you can't deny
So let me know before I wave goodbye
When can I see you again?
Oh oh oh oh
When can we do this again?
Oh oh oh oh
When can I see you again?
Oh oh oh oh
When can we do this again?
Oh oh oh oh
Yeah, it's been fun but now I've got to go
Life is way too short to take it slow
But before I go and hit the road
Tell me when
When can I see you again?
When can I see you again?
Tell me when
When can I see you again?
"Wow Core, that's really good." She said as I finished the last few notes. "Thanks." I replied. "Core," Laney said checking her watch. "Yeah?" I said. "I love you." She said, then gave me a sweet kiss on the lips that lasted only a few seconds and then running away. "Wait Lanes!" I called after her. "I love you to."
The Next Day
"Bye Lanes." I told my best friend hugging her before she climbed into her parents van. "Bye Core." "Lanes?" "Yeah?" she said as we pulled away. " I love you, I will see you again." Laney wiped away a few tears and hugged me again. "I love you to." She answered. Pulling away she walked over to the twins and embraced them also. Kin and Kon were crying and hugging Laney as she said her final goodbye's. Finally letting go she walked over to the van and put out our signature sign. "Grojbandians forever?" she asked. We all put the sign in the middle and nodded our head in agreement. "Grojbandians forever." We said in unison. Laney climbed in the car and their car drove off as we watched, saying goodbye to our friend forever.
"So guys, what are we going to do about a bassist?" Kin asked as we walked back into the garage. "Well we can't be Grojband anymore without Laney." I said sitting on the couch. "Even if we did, Grojband wouldn't be the same." Kon said sitting on the stage. "Well, I guess Grojband's breaking up." I said. "But Kin's right, couldn't we just get a new bassist?" Kon reasoned. "You just said yourself it wouldn't be the same?!" I protested. "Yeah, but Kin's my bro, we're a pack." He said. "Well I guess were not then." I said anger heavy in my voice. "Come on Kon, we're out of here." Kin said walking out the garage. "Bye, hope your happy." Kon said, and that was the last I saw of them before my life became a misery.
