Time to add some songs! I also need to make Lenny look like a douche in this chapter (sorry). You guys will probably skip over the songs, but I highly recommend looking them up (I don't own them).

Corey was leading Laney to the area where they were practicing until they passed by Carrie and Lenny. Laney noticed them first and tried to apologize.

"Lenny, I want you to know that-" Laney began, but was cut off by the hate filled glare Lenny gave her.

"I have nothing to say to you." Lenny said coldly. He continued to walk the opposite way. When Carrie passed by she gave Corey a wink and a thumbs up. Laney didn't notice it.

"It's ok Lanes! You can apologize too him later." Corey consoled Laney. He was patting her back and hugging her a few times on their way to practice. When they reached their destination, Corey found their instruments covered in water.

"I think I know who did this…." Laney said guiltily.

"Lanes, don't worry about it, we can just wipe off the water." Corey said. It didn't look so bad after Corey said that. They began drying off the instruments quickly.

"Hey Lanes, I want to play a certain song for you during the battle. Listen very closely ok? You pretty much know the notes to it though." Corey said awkwardly. With a small depressed look she nodded. Not the reaction Corey wanted. After they finished drying off the instruments they waited patiently for Kin and Kon.

Once they arrived Corey whispered the song they were going to play. Laney was zoned out but she had a general idea of what she needed to do. They began practice and ended it after 30 minutes.

"Ok band, it's time to move out!" Corey said with enthusiasm. They brought their equipment to the water park's only stage. They found the Newmans already there. While they were walking to their side of the stage, Lenny "accidently" stuck his foot out, causing Corey to trip and fall face-first.

"Oops, I'm so sorry. Wouldn't want anything to happen to you!" Lenny said with fake concern. He stomped angrily on Corey's hand and walked off to his band. Laney was outraged.

"Lenny! You can glare and hate me all you want, but you're not getting away with doing that to Corey!" Laney snarled. She was about to hit him until Corey's hand held her back.

"It's ok Lanes, it isn't that bad. Let's just get this over with." Corey said calmly. He started tuning his guitar after they reached their performing area.

A small audience of employees began to gather.

"Let's get this show on the road! Performing first are the Newmans! They will be performing There's Nothing For Me Here by Dope!"

Instead of Carrie, Lenny took center stage and sang.

There's Nothing for Me Here

How many times should I stop and believe in myself,
I don't believe much in anything.
I've seen enough of the pain and the shame and the blame ,
It don't amount up to anything.
Now I,
rewind back to a time
where I could do anything and pay any price.
And I,
need time cause I'm starting,
to think that the promises ain't worth the sacrifice.

And there's nothing for me here.
There's nothing for me here.

How many nights should I walk in my sleep,
and I dream of how much I wanna run away (wanna run away).
I've had enough of the stress and the mess.
I can't take anymore I gotta getaway.
Now I,
know why I'm empty inside,
and I'm sure I've only got myself to blame.
And I,
don't try to view the lies,
it's just a waste of time I'll never be the same.

There's nothing for me here.
There's nothing for me here.
There's nothing for me here.
I gave you my life and its fading away.
There's nothing for me here.
I gave you my life just to fade away.

And I can't go on.
And I can't explain.
What everyone's going on,
lives falling away.
And I can't rewind.
And there's no escape.
It's been so long and I just don't feel the same.

There's nothing for me here.
There's nothing for me here.
There's nothing for me here.
I gave you my life and its fading away.
There's nothing for me here.
I gave you my life just to fade away.
How many times should I stop and believe in myself,
I don't believe much in anything.
There's nothing for me here.

Rage was erupting out of Lenny's song and voice. Laney was surprised at how angry he was. How can that one rejection change a boy's personality so much? It only made her feel guiltier though.

When Lenny finished the crowd was cheering madly. Despite the reaction of the audiences however, Carrie and the other girls looked ticked off.

"Wasn't that a blood-heating song! I want to punch something now! However, it is now time for Grojband to perform! They will be playing Intoxicated by the Cab!"

Laney remembered how Corey asked her to listen closely so she focused on his words.

Intoxicated

….And I, think you're from another world,
and I, I couldn't love another girl,
cause you, you make me feel like I'm intoxicated.

In a room full of frozen faces,
and a moment of fractured time,
we eclipse in a conversation,
as the words, they pass us by.

With you, we could be the only ones here.

..cause I, think you're from another world,
and I, I couldn't love another girl.
cause you, you make me feel like I'm intoxicated, toxicated.
To the sky, flying high, take me to the moon,
day or night, we don't have to say a word,
cause you make me feel like I'm intoxicated, toxicated.

Your eyes like a shot of whiskey,
warms me up like a summer night.
Can you tell that I need ya with me?
Let me drink you down tonight.

No I don't just want any pretty face,
wanna wake up next to yours each day.
Baby, won't you be my saving grace tonight, tonight?

With you, we could be the only ones here.

..cause I, think you're from another world,
and I, I couldn't love another girl.
cause you, you make me feel like I'm intoxicated, toxicated.
To the sky, flying high, take me to the moon,
day or night, we don't have to say a word,
cause you make me feel like I'm intoxicated, toxicated.

Feel like I black out, pass out,
every time that we touch.
..and if it hurts in the morning,
then it must be love.
I want your heart, baby,
straight no chaser.
I wanna feel it in my head,
when I wake up. (When I wake up)

..and I, think you're from another world,
and I, I couldn't love another girl,
cause you, you make me feel like I'm intoxicated, toxicated.
To the sky, flying high, take me to the moon,
day or night, we don't have to say a word,
cause you make me feel like I'm intoxicated, toxicated.

To the sky, flying high, take me to the moon,
day or night, we don't have to say a word,
cause you make me feel like I'm intoxicated, toxicated.

..and I, think you're from another world,
and I, I couldn't love another girl,
cause you, you make me feel like I'm intoxicated.

When the song ended, nearly everyone had a few tears in their eyes. They can all feel a deep affection flowing from Corey's singing. Slowly the audience began to clap and it quickly grew so loud that it was deafening. Kim and Konnie were clapping as well.

"Thanks everyone! I just want to say I dedicate that song to one of the most important people to me, Laney Penn! She's the bassist in Grojband and the love of my life!" Corey said. Near the end he blushed.

The audience "aw-ed" over it before saying congratulations to them. Laney was blushing with tears leaking out her eyes. A smile was spreaded on her face.

"Well I think we know who the winner is now! Grojband takes the win!"

The band in question was high-fiving and hugging each other. Laney was crushed in a bear hug by Corey, but a large smile was etched in to her face.

I think I might have to end this story in a few chapters, but don't worry! I will be posting an alternate ending with Lenny x Laney soon after. I will also work on a Lenny x Laney fanfic during the alternate ending. There's a large chance the fanfic will become a series! Until then, enjoy!
