Corey's POV
It has been three years since I was titled the lead singer of Grojband and also the last time I have talked to the band. I don't know why though we've been friends since the 4th grade and then we all suddenly drifted away. That's only cause we all chose a different life style. It all started in the summer 2 years ago in my garage with the twins and L...Laney.
Flashback...
A fifteen year old girl with shoulder length red hair walks into a garage. She was wearing a yellow top under a black leather jacket. Black jeans with a black studded belt and black studded boots. "Laney wait up", A husky fifteen year old panted and finally reached the red head. He wore a simple black T with some dark blue jeans and black Vans. He wore a headband with the Grojband symbol at the center of it.
"Hey Kon", Laney smiles at him. "Where's Kin?" Usually Kin and Kon were inseparable but now the other twin is no where in sight. "He's working on one of his latest experiments...hopefully he'll be here with both of his eyebrows this time". Both Kon and Laney laughed at the joke, "Ha Ha Hilarious but yes I did come with both my eyebrows". They both turne0d around to a fifteen year old boy with black hair and thick rimmed glasses. He wore a black Grojband T shirt, a white jacket over it and jeans with black Vans. "Also I was working on my latest invention, I can now hear a conversation from a mile away". Laney crossed her arms, "Is that so?". Kin nodded, "I'm actually picking up one right now it's Corey he's speaking to...it sounds like a girl".
Laney froze and looked over at Kin, "Come again". Kin shushed her, "I hear them they are talking about the band! I think it's a record producer". They all grew silent and started to listen in on the conversation.
With Corey...
A sixteen year old blunette with a white T shirt and orange cargos with orange converse as well started to pace. He had on his signature beanie on top of his head, "But I thought last night was great you even said it!". A feminine voice sighed, "I did trust me last night's performance was great...but the Stardom Records isn't looking for a band it's looking for a soloist like yourself".
Corey scoffed, "But I'm a lead guitarist in Grojband not a soloist". The woman groaned, "But you have an amazing voice not to mention great charisma you'll be great on our tour...look just think about it. You know my number". The woman then walked out of the groj and Corey slumped onto his couch sighing, "What should I do?", he asked rhetorically.
With Laney, Kin and Kon
"Guys Core just threw away a once in a lifetime dream for us...we have to tell him to go for it". Laney started to make her way to the Groj, but Kin stopped her. "Laney no matter what Corey's going to choose the band you know him". Laney sighed, "Well what should we do?".
PAUSE FLASHBACK
Back to Corey's POV
That day changed my life for the better I guess. They sacrificed the band so I could get noticed. I ran my fingers through my midnight blue hair and smiled, "They were the best...".
Back to the flashback...
"So that's the plan huh?". Laney nodded, "He's going to be mad but he'll get over it...now call up Stardom Records". Kin dials up the number and clears his throat.
"Hello I'm calling on behalf of Corey Riffen...Yes he has changed his mind...this Saturday he'll be leaving...Okay I will take him to the airport at 3...Thank you for your time...Haha Same to you".
"He leaves in two days...come on let's go to the Groj before we are late", The trio heads to the Groj. They see their fearless leader tuning up his guitar and just looking into space. "Hey Corey!", Kon yelled to get his attention. Corey jumped and looked over to his bandmates. "Hey guys finally you made it I thought I'd have to go searching for you guys". Laney smiled, "Guess what?". Corey got into her face and smiled, "Yeah Lanes". Lanes was speechless because how close her and Core's face were to each other. "W-we g-g-", she started to stammer and blush, soon Kin stepped in. "We found a gig we're no one has thought of in peaceville!". Corey's eyes lit up, "Oh really where?".
"An airport!", Corey seemed amused by the gig. "Hmm maybe we could do that gig, so when is it?". Lanes smiled, "This Saturday...". Corey gave Laney a nose boop and jumped on stage holding his guitar. "Well we got two days what are we waiting for! Let's get this started!".
That day they practiced and tried to make the most of it. They had a cheese fest and just played their instruments, "You know I kind of miss your sister barging in looking all angry and cute...I mean vicious". Kon said. "Well we should go so we can head over Dad around the house, later guys. The twins leave. "I can't believe Kon still has a crush on my sister" Corey laughed. "Maybe when she comes back from college she'll have a nice demeanor". Trina had left to Peaceville University and stayed in a dorm with Mina you only see her ever so often. Thankfully she doesn't hate Corey...that much anymore anyways. "Ha yeah right she kept thinking I was a boy", Laney mutter. "Gasp Lanes you're a girl?", Corey playfully teased, which got him a punch on the arm. "Ow that wasn't very Lady like of you". She just rolled her eyes and packed up her bass. "I'll see you later Core", she strapped her case on her. Corey placed a hand on her shoulder, "You know we could just hang out instead of me staying in my house all day". Lanes smiled, "Yeah sure Core, I can go for a milkshake right now".
Corey smiled, "Cool come on we'll use Bluetastic!", Bluetastic was once pinktastic but Corey painted it blue when Trina gave it to him. Corey grabbed a hold of Laney's hand and led her to his car. "Corey please be careful". Corey chuckled, "Oh please careful is my middle name". Laney smirked, "I thought it was Eugene?". Corey blushed, "Shh someone might hear you". Laney laughed, "Oh I 'm sorry Eugene!". Corey glared at her, "Whatever A-". Laney glared at her, "Don't you say it or I'll end you". Corey zipped his mouth and drove to the shop.
Hours later...
They both enter the garage laughing, "I can't believe you shot Lenny with just a can of whipped cream". Corey smiled, "Eh he had it coming". Laney smiled, "Well now I don't think we are allowed there anymore". Corey shrugged, "Then we shall find another place to buy milkshakes some other time". Laney giggled, "Yeah. Well today was great thanks Lanes". Laney just smiled, "It's whatever I had nothing better to do". Corey pulled her into a hug and tightened the embrace as did Laney. They broke the hug but never left each others arms just holding their gaze blue meeting green. Laney broke the staring contest, "I-I should head back home before my mom worries..." Corey broke his gaze, "Y-yeah...I'll see you tomorrow at practice I got some lyrics to make for the gig". Laney moved away from him and grabbed her bass hugging Corey once more then leaving. (A/N I know what you are thinking but Corey doesn't write lyrics. Well let's just say since he'd matured he was able to write lyrics and thanks to the fantastic Laney Penn she bought him a journal to write his Aftergig Speeches making killer lyrics)
(A/N I'm go to skip the day and have them arriving at the airport)
"Everything's set Kin", Laney asked. He nodded, "Yeah Christie (the lady from Stardom Records) had an intern take his baggage already and she said she'll come back to tell him when the jet is leaving. "Kon is still stalling Corey, you want me to give him the okay". Laney nodded, "Alright I'll use my twin telepath-". Lanes sighed, "Kin that never work-". Just then Kon arrived with Corey. "What?!".
"Lanes, Kin how come you guys don't have your instruments. I thought this was a gig" Kin sighed. "It's not..."
Confusion filled Corey's mind, "Then why are we here". Kon and Kin looked away hoping Laney would tell Corey the news. She sighed, "We over heard you talking about throwing a tour with just you and we felt bad...so we tricked you into thinking this was a gig but really it's you leaving for the tour...". Corey had a blank expression on his face and didn't say anything leaving everything silent.
"Who's plan was this", he finally spoke. Kon spoke up this time, "We all did...Corey you can't just not say no to a tour". Corey looked furious, "Well I did! I did it for the band, I wasn't going to be selfish and leave you three in the dust while I live in luxury. WE. ARE. A .BAND.". Laney put a hand on his shoulder Corey looked at her, "You're not going to leave us, you'll be there for like two years and then come back to us". She smiled, "We'll be fine. Go be a star for us...for me". Corey moved away from her and looked over the twins, "So you guys think I should do this". They both nodded, "It was bound to happen with you're talent Corey, don't worry about Grojband we will still be here in two years". Corey smiled and pulled everyone into a group hug, "Alright I'll do this but when I come back I return as Grojband's lead guitarist and singer". They all nodded.
"Mr. Riffin, the jet will be taking off in 15 minutes...", they heard the intern behind them. "I suggest you say your goodbyes and follow me soon". Corey nodded. "Well this is it". Kon and Kin fist bumped him, "Do us proud bro". Kon handed him his guitar and Kin handed him a small blue box, "It's a present from us two, to help you remember Grojband". Corey opened it to see a Grojband pendant which he quickly put on and smiled, "Thanks...". Laney smiled in the back, Kin looked over at her. "We'll leave you two alone". The twins soon walk away.
Laney was teary eyed and quickly wrapped her arms around Corey, "I'll miss you Core". Corey snaked his arm around his waist, "I don't have to leave you know...". Laney shook her head "No you do this and come back I'll be waiting for you Corey". Corey broke the hug and smiled, "Here take this...". He took off his orange beanie exposing his blue hair to the world and handed it to Laney. "I-i can't take this Corey". He rolled his eyes, "Sure you can, just hold it for me until I come back". She smiled and pulled Corey into another hug.
Corey's POV
I can't believe they did this for me...Lanes. We broke the hug but never left each others arms. I looked into her green orbs and saw how close our lips were. I wonder... I began to lean in closing the space between us. "C-core..." Soon our lips met and it was a sweet bliss. She kissed back pulling me closer.
Laney's POV
THIS IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING I AM KISSING COREY RIFFEN! Finally after all these years we can be together and I don't have to hide my feelings...we can finally be together. We broke the kiss and he pressed his forehead against mine, "Now I can't leave...". Reality struck and I realized Corey's leaving. "Yes you can Core", I smiled. "Just know I'll be here waiting for you". I intertwined my hand with his and kissed his cheek. "Now go..." I nudge him toward the intern. He captured my lips again and smiled, "Never change Lanes". Lanes nodded and clutched at my beanie. I soon strapped on my guitar and followed the intern still looking back at Lanes until I couldn't see her. I felt my lips and smiled. "Glad you changed your mind Mr. Riffen".
END OF FLASHBACK
