Like usual, I don't own Grojband or ANY of the songs featured in this FanFic. You also may not understand some stuff if you didn't read the first one "A New Beginning". Enjoy :D
Starting Over: A New Beginning Part II
Chapter 4: Forgiving Past Mistakes
Laney's POV.
Police have still been searching for Carrie ever since we found out about her breakout. Unfortunately for us, no one can leave the town. They have roadblocks everywhere with officers guarding them 24/7. Because of this, we all stay at Corey's old house for the time being though Core's still in the hospital.
As I'm watching random YouTube videos on my phone, my stomach starts growling so I get up to go to Belchy's. I walk outside and notice the car we rented is gone. . .That's when I remember that Kin and Jake went to visit Trina and Jake. So I decide to walk, hopefully I can get the bad thoughts cleared out of my head. I still can't believe Carrie broke out! Did she plan this? Was she going to get revenge on all of us? UGH! This is seriously stressing me out.
Still walking downtown, I can't shake the feeling of Corey in the hospital. . . What if he DID die? I wouldn't know how to live with myself. I try to forget it by putting my earbuds in and listening to random music. The song starts playing and what do you know? The song seems perfect for this situation.
(Vanessa Carlton - A Thousand Miles)
Makin' my way downtown,
Walkin' fast,
Faces pass and I'm homebound.
Starin' blankly ahead,
Just makin' my way,
Makin' a way through the crowd.
While the song is playing, everywhere I look all I see are memories of the band and I. This makes me tear up.
And I need you,
And I miss you,
And now I wonder...
If I could fall into the sky,
Do you think time
would pass me by?
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you...
Tonight.
As I continue walking, every time I blink I keep seeing moments from my life when Corey would look at me and smile.
It's always times like these
When I think of you,
And wonder if you ever think of me.
'Cause everything's so wrong
And I don't belong.
Livin' in your precious memory.
'Cause I need you,
And I miss you,
And now I wonder...
If I could fall into the sky,
Do you think time
would pass me by?
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you...
Tonight.
I, I, don't wanna let you know
I, I, drown in your memory.
I, I, don't wanna let this go.
I, I, don't.
Makin' my way downtown,
Walkin' fast,
Faces pass and I'm homebound.
Starin' blankly ahead,
Just makin' my way,
Makin' a way through the crowd.
And I still need you,
And I still miss you,
And now I wonder...
If I could fall into the sky,
Do you think time
Would pass.. us by?
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you...
oh oh
If I could fall into the sky,
Do you think time would pass me by?
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you.
If I could just hold you...
Tonight.
The song ends and there's so much guilt in my mind. I wipe away my tears to see that the town is kinda deserted, not really surprising though. The next song starts up which is "I Want You Back" but I turn it off before it starts.
I continue walking down the street and I can't help it. . . Throughout the entire walk so far, I've felt like I was being followed but every time I turn around, no one was there. I shrug it off and turn back to start walking again and a force quickly pulls me off into the alley next to me. Right when I start to scream, I feel a hand cover my mouth as I'm being dragged further into the alley. Once reached the end, I'm placed up against the wall and I'm too scared to see who it is. I keep my eyes closed as the hand is released from my mouth. "P-Please. . . I'll give you anything just please don't kill or rape me. . . " I shudder as the person still pins me to the wall.
"Heh, you're just as paranoid as I remember." That voice seemed so familiar. . . . Who is that?! I slowly open my eyes to see a man with a shaved head who was wearing an orange jumpsuit. My eyes widen as I still recognize him.
"L-Lenny?!"
"Yeah, it's me. . " He loosens his grip on me. "I kinda escaped with Carrie the other day. . ."
I hear this come from his mouth and I look back and forth looking to see if Carrie was with him. "Please Lenny, let me go! You and Carrie don't have to-"
"Please Laney you must listen to me. . ." He cuts me off. "Carrie wasn't the one that shot Corey."
I'm not sure I believe him. "Wha? Why should I trust you?"
He starts looking back and forth after hearing noises. "Look, Carrie and I were nowhere near the concert that night. Please! I know we had our rivalry in the past and I'm devastated that I killed Kon but. . ."
I start tearing up again once he mentions this. "Laney, over the past few years in prison, everyone's expected Carrie and I to be pissed but we're not! You have to believe me!" From my right, I can hear sirens and I think Lenny can hear them too. "Shit!"
I turn back to him. "Did you guys plan the breakout?"
He shakes his head at me. "No, we don't know who did. I may have a theory but I'm not sure." The sirens keep getting closer. "Laney please believe me when I say this." He starts running to my right. "It wasn't Carrie!" I see him jump over a fence and takes a right turn without looking back.
Why did he tell me this? He's probably lying so he can fool us in some sort of plan. . . But he's not smart enough. . . I gotta get to Corey! As I start running to get to the hospital, it starts pouring out of nowhere. I haven't seen this mud rain since Corey's suicide attempt.
Corey's POV.
I look out the hospital window to see that it's pouring bringing back painful memories. UGH! I grab my head in pain. Maybe T.V. will help. . . I grab the remote from my side just as FLASH!
The lights go out in my room but for some reason, the power is still on. Must be an electrical problem. . . I turn on the T.V. to see nothing's really on, mostly static as I flip through the channels. Though once I finally get a channel, all I see is an old black and white music video.
(The Moody Blues - Nights In White Satin)
Nights in white satin,
Never reaching the end,
Letters Ive written,
Never meaning to send.
Beauty Id always missed
With these eyes before,
Just what the truth is
I cant say anymore.
cause I love you,
Yes, I love you,
Oh, how, I love you.
Gazing at people,
Some hand in hand,
Just what Im going thru
They can understand.
Some try to tell me
Thoughts they cannot defend,
Just what you want to be
You will be in the end,
And I love you,
Yes, I love you,
Oh, how, I love you.
Oh, how, I love you.
Nights in white satin,
Never reaching the end,
Letters Ive written,
Never meaning to send.
Beauty Id always missed
With these eyes before,
Just what the truth is
I cant say anymore.
cause I love you,
Yes, I love you,
Oh, how, I love you.
Oh, how, I love you.
cause I love you,
Yes, I love you,
Oh, how, I love you.
Oh, how, I love you.
I kinda like the song to tell the truth but the music video was pretty bland. BAM! I jump a bit to my left to see that the window has shattered and there's a giant tear in the screen. Jumping back made my chest hurt a bit but not much. I look for my call button to get a nurse or doctor in here but as I press it, there's no sound, no lighting, the button was useless. I drop everything and turn to get out of the bed but I suddenly get tackled back into it by the hooded figure that shot me. It pin me to my bed and start choking me as I try to fight him or her off.
"How's the stitches?" The voice sounds distorted. . . Must be a voice changer. The figure then grabs my chest and twists it. "AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" I scream out in pain as I feel a few stitches popping. I overcome the pain and punch the figure in the face. As it's looking for something, my vision gets more blurry by the second and I grab my chest in agonizing pain. The figure then looks back at me and points the gun in my face.
"You should've never messed with me. . ." It says as I slam my eyes shut. BOOOOOOOOOOM!
I feel nothing, not even the pain in my chest. I open my eyes to see the room is empty except for me and the lights are still out. The electricity is working so I try the call button again. BING! A red light comes on as it signals for a nurse. Was it all just a hallucination? I'm definitely going crazy. I cup my face in my hands and let out a giant sigh. Letting my hands down, I turn to my left with my eyes widening as I see something that made my spine shiver in fear. . . . The glass was still broken, the screen still ripped, and the mask of the figure was hanging from a nail.
