Hey everyone! Thank you for being patient with me! Here is chapter one rewritten of Invisible. I don't own Grojband, but I do own Alex, Stacey, and the plot line! Please Enjoy, and be on the lookout for the rewrite of chapter two!
I sighed, resting on the couch in Corey's garage. This was it; today I'd tell him my feelings. Yes, that's right. I, Laney Penn, am admitting my feelings. I watched Kin tweaking his new invention of some sort, and Kon attempting to help his brother. Corey wasn't there yet; why we hung out in his garage without him was beyond me. Corey wasn't there yet, and now that I think about it, he hadn't been himself lately. He had been extremely happy lately, more so than usual. I didn't think much of it though since he's Corey, happiness was practically his middle name.
I heard the garage door open, turning my head with a smile. But, what I saw caused my smile to falter and my stomach to drop. There was Corey, smiling down at a girl who his arms were wrapped around. The girl was beautiful, with sun kissed skin the color of honey, elbow-length brown hair with beach ways, and emerald green eyes the color of grass on a bright sunny day. She was smiling back at him, her smile as white as a pearl.
"Hey Corey, who's that?" Kon asked with his usual child-like innocence.
"This is Stacey Grey, she's my girlfriend." Corey said, kissing her cheek as she giggled.
"Nice to meet you Stacey." Kin said as he and his brother began talking to Corey and Stacey.
They completely ignored me, which was an alien feeling to me. I hated this feeling, I hated seeing Corey and Stacey together, and I hated the fact that tears wanted to leak down my face.
"Hey everyone." Trina said, walking down the stairs with Mina.
As shocking as it might be, Trina and I actually became friends. After a year or so, her petty obsessions and rude demeanor vanished, and left a kind hearted and compassionate person.
"Hey Trina! Come meet Stacey, my girlfriend!" Corey exclaimed, excited for everyone in Peaceville to know about him and Stacey.
"Uh, okay." Trina said uncertainly, looking at me before approaching, Mina at her side. They knew how much I adored Corey; they knew how badly my heart was broken.
"I'm just going to go now." I said, though no one heard me. I took my leave unnoticed, walking to my house. I lived by myself since my parent's death three years ago. My grandmother came once a week to make sure I was doing okay, but besides that, I lived alone.
"Wait up Laney!" I heard. I turned around and saw Mina and Trina walking up.
"Let's hang out." Trina said, trying to make me feel better.
We walked to my house and went inside, the three of us sitting on the couch.
"I don't know what to do anymore." I said, placing my head in my hands as I let out a long sigh.
"It's okay Laney, you'll be fine. I have a story to tell that might make you feel better. You remember when I was crazy about Nick?" She asked me.
"Of course I do." I said, laughing a bit.
"Well, when he fell in love with Mina, not me, I was devastated. I was in your position, feeling miserable and, well, for lack of better words, stuck. But, I saw how happy they were, and so I was happy for them. Over time, I learned to let it go, and to move on. And now, I'm with Alex. And you've met him, so you know how sweet he is! I know our situations are not the same, but they are somewhat similar. So, heed what I am saying. If Corey is too oblivious over the fact that you love him, and is happy with Stacy, then maybe he wasn't meant to be with you." Trina said, trying to help me understand a bit better. And it worked. I didn't feel as bad anymore.
After a while of hanging out and, dare I say, gossiping, Mina and Trina took their leave back to Trina's house. After talking so much, I was exhausted. I went up to my room, flopping on my bed as I closed my eyes. After a few moments, I fell asleep.
"Oh Laney, I love you so much. You're perfect the way you are." Corey said, a finality in his voice that I rarely ever heard.
We stared into each other's eyes, and the moment felt… perfect. But no matter how much I tried to convince myself otherwise, something felt off. It almost felt like Corey was faking, and that worried me.
I was about to lean in, wanting this moment to be as beautiful as it looked, but his sweet smile that I adored so much turned into something unrecognizable, something dark. Then he pushed me down to the ground, looming over me.
"Wow, you actually fell for it. What a wh*re. I have a girlfriend, and she's way better than you. You lack everything that could make anyone fall in love with you. You suck compared to Stacey. You suck compared to every girl in the world." Corey says, leaning extremely close to my face. He was extremely intimidating, which was a word never used to describe Corey. Then, out of nowhere, Stacey appears, coming up next to Corey.
"Hey baby." She said, pulling Corey into a deep kiss, making me want to vomit. She pulls away suddenly, glaring at me.
"Shame you couldn't learn your place." Stacey said, kicking my ribs as I scream.
I wake up with a scream, tears leaking out of my eyes as I tell myself it was only a dream. After a few shaky breaths, I manage to calm down.
I get out of bed and go to my mirror, brushing out my messy hair from my nap. Afterwards, I go down to my kitchen to get a quick snack. I eat my snack and get a cup of water and down in instantly. I get up to place my cup in the dishwasher, but before I can, the doorbell rings. I answer it promptly, and someone I didn't expect to see is standing there.
I hope you guys enjoyed! After I rewrite the few chapters already posted, I'll begin to write new chapters that will be much longer! -Star T
