I was with Corey on my sixteenth birthday and he as always, did not forget. My best friend would NEVER forget my birthday. My mother had thrown a party for me, but me and Core ducked out after the cake. We were sitting on the roof of my house, outside off my window. Corey had left a few minutes earlier, but was now returning with a couple of sodas in his hand. Diet Pepsi in one hand, orange soda in the other. I hadn't had one of those in forever.

"Core, you remembered." I smiled.

"How could I ever forget?" he asked.

"I love you." Damn it, what did I just say? He looked at me in confusion, and I wanted to fall off the roof and die. "Not love love, more like brotherly love, the kind of love that is that we have for Kin and Kong." Shut up, Laney, you're making it worse. I was relieved when he smiled.

"Yeah. I love you too." he then started to panic. "As a sister!" he shouted.

"Keep your voice down! Do you want the warden to find out?" I joked. Later, the rest of the band left. I was left alone with my guitar, a mic, and a laptop.
