Authors note: Hello there. This is my first fanfiction, so I hope you enjoy reading it. Anyway, on with the story

*No Pov*

It was a regular day in the town of Peaceville, it was the middle of Autumn, and the leaves on the trees were turning a beautiful mix of orange and red leaves and the air was fresh and cool around town.

It was still early in the day, people were still waking up, and it was quiet. One of the residents of the town, Laney Penn, was still in her sleep, dreaming.

"Beep Beep Beep!" the noise of her alarm clock rang loud, filling the room with high pitched noise. The alarm was soon silenced by Laney slamming her hand on the snooze button. The young, 15 year old girl got up from her bed, annoyed that she had to wake up so suddenly, but joy soon filled her heart as she realized what day it was.

Today was a Saturday, which meant a variety of things, no school, no homework, and it meant she got to spend time with her band mates. Specifically, her long time crush, Corey Riffen. Yes, it was true, she has had a crush on him since they were little, but there was no way she was going to tell him, at least, not until the time was right.

*Laney's Pov*

I looked over to the small framed picture on my nightstand. It was a picture of me with the band when we had our first gig, that was the day that our road to stardom started. Next to the picture, was my favorite necklace. I went over to the nightstand and picked up the necklace to examine it closely.

It was a regular, thin, silver chain necklace. It was pretty, but what really mattered to me was the pendant. The pendant was in the shape of a heart and was inscribed with the words, "Best Friends Forever C.R. and L.P."

I remember. This was a gift from Corey. He got it to represent our long term friendship. He also got one for himself that is exactly the same as mine. Him and I make sure to wear them everyday. The necklace meant so much to me, I knew that there was no way that I was ever going to lose it.

I quickly took a shower, made myself presentable and made my way downstairs, making sure not to forget the necklace. My mom was down stairs in the kitchen waiting with a plate of pancakes and a glass of orange juice, thank you mom.

"Good morning Laney," my mother sang as cheerfully as a bird.

"Good morning mom, thanks for the breakfast," I said while taking the plate to the kitchen table.

"So Laney, you seem happy today. Going to spend the day with the band today, or are you going to flirt with Corey?"

I nearly choked on my food when she asked that. My mom knew about my crush on Corey, she and my father were the only people that I have told. Either way, it was still embarrassing to talk to them about it. Especially my father, who must have still been asleep, thankfully.

"Mom, you can't just ask questions like that, especially when I'm eating. I nearly choked," I said.

"Can't a mother be curious about her daughter's love life? I mean, you're already fifteen," she asked jokingly while taking the seat next to me.

"Anyway, it's not like he likes me back, so it doesn't matter" I said. A look of shock appeared on my mothers face.

"Laney Penn! Don't you dare talk like that, it's that kind of thinking that will get you nowhere, you have to think positively!"

"I'm sorry mom. You're right," I said while putting the dishes in the dishwasher and sitting back down at the table. My mom took a seat closer to me.

"Listen Laney, no matter what happens between you and Corey, you two will still be best friends. Don't bring yourself down, and if you really like him, you should just tell him. Even if you don't get the answer you want, you'll still get an answer, and that is pretty good too." My mothers words of encouragement made me smile, she always knew what to say.

"I know mom, and I'm trying. It's just that Corey is different. I care about him a lot, and if there is a chance for us, I really don't want to mess it up. But I get what you mean, the sooner I tell him, the sooner I'll know," I said as I looked down at my hands, avoiding eye contact.

"Laney, I know how you feel, how do you think it was between me and your father," My mother said and paused to reminisce about the story.

"I was the most popular girl in school, and your father was... a nerd, but he was definitely the sweetest and cutest nerd. One day, he worked up the courage to ask me out, and I said 'yes', and I've been happy ever since," she finished. She looked really happy to talk about her high school days.

"I swear mom, you've told me that story a thousand times, and each time, it's still a cute story." She giggled at the remark.

I got up and looked at the clock. It was around 10:00 already, I was usually at Corey's by 8:00, and practice started at 9:00. I was the bands manager after all.

"Wow I have to go. see you later mom." I then made my way to the front door and opened it, but before I left, I turned back to my mother. "Also, thanks for the talk mom, it really helped."

"Anytime Laney. Next time, we can talk about grandchildren, I'm not getting any younger you know," she said. I could feel my face turning red.

"Mom, that's embarrassing!" I exclaimed. My mom then started laughing hysterically and I couldn't help but laugh too.

I closed the door and started running towards Corey's house.
