Chapter 10: What Will It Be? The Band Or Her?
Laney's POV
I was dragging Lenny to his place after he fainted. He looked terrible. He had a black eye, a bloody mouth and shirt, and bruises on his arms. I stopped and held him closer. I can't exactly carry him, so I was holding onto him by putting my hands under his arms and drag him.
I arrived in front of his house. The door was locked. Damn it. I placed Lenny on a sitting position against the wall and looked around the porch for a way in. I spotted an unlocked window.
I opened the window and got inside. I got Lenny and pulled him in. I turned on the light and put Lenny on the couch.
"Oh, Lenny. I can't believe Corey did this to you." I said.
"Laney?" Lenny said. I gasped and hugged him by the neck.
"Lens, I was so worried! Are you ok?" I asked still hugging him.
"Yeah, but I feel pain on my stomach, arms, and my eye."
"Oh my gosh, I forgot! You're badly hurt and bloody!" I stood up and ran to the bathroom. I got a wet rag and an ice pack.
I ran back to Lenny now sitting up.
"Thanks." Lenny said about to get the wet rag.
"No, let me." I said as I wipe the blood off Lenny's lips. When I put the rag down, I stared into Lenny's eyes. His lips were fully clean. I looked at his lips for a second, and back at his eyes. He leaned in and we started to kiss.
"Hello, Larry. I'm home." I heard the door close and a woman's voice. Lenny and I broke away to see a lady staring at us.
Lenny's POV
Oh, shit. My mom! She must've saw me and Laney making out!
"Hi, mom." I said awkwardly.
"Larry-boo, who's this pretty young lady?" My mom said. My cheeks turned red.
"Mom, can we talk in the kitchen?" I got up and pulled my mom into the kitchen.
"Mom! Don't call me Larry-boo, specially in front of my girlfriend!"
"Oh, she's your girlfriend?" My mom said in a bad 'I didn't know' tone.
"Don't play that on me. I already know that you saw us kissing."
"Wait, Larry! You have a black eye and bruises! What happened?!"
"Oh, I-I fell down the stairs."
"Are you sure you're ok?"
"Uh, yeah. I'm fine. Nothing serious."
"Well anyways, next time please put it in a lower level. I mean, don't kiss on the couch where you could-"
"Mom!"
"Sorry Larry-boo. I thought you two were going to-"
"I said shush!"
"But-"
"No, we are not going to discuss that!"
"Am I interrupting?" Laney walked in the kitchen.
"No, I'll leave you two alone." My mom left.
"Did you hear anything?"
"No, just enough to hear the end."
"Sorry about that."
"Nah, it's ok."
"Well, I'm going to change my shirt. It has, blood." I looked down at my shirt.
"Alright 'Larry-boo'." Laney said with a chuckle.
"Don't patronize me." I said with a smile.
I went upstairs and started to change. I went backstairs to see Laney sleeping on the couch. I smiled down at her.
"What are you looking at?" Laney said waking up.
"Nothing. Now scoot." I said. Laney moved a bit and I lay down next to her.
"You know, you're going to get in trouble if you got caught sleeping with me."
"I don't care if I get caught or not. Hey, is your parents ok if you spend the night with me?"
"Yeah, they might be cool with it."
"Goodnight, Laney." I said before I kissed her and turned off the lamp.
"Goodnight, Lens" she said before we embraced each other.
The next day
I woke up with Laney still sleeping. I smiled and she woke up.
"Morning." I kissed her.
"Morning." We both got up and stretched.
"Hey Lens, can I borrow some clothes?" Laney asked me.
"Sure. There's already some of my clean clothes in the bathroom."
"K, thanks."
"Well, I'm going to get breakfast ready." I said as I walked towards the kitchen.
Laney's POV
As Lenny walked into the kitchen, I went to the bathroom and took a short shower. When I was done, I tried on Lenny's clothes. They weren't any different than my clothes, so it was ok.
I walked into the kitchen to the smell of bacon and eggs. Wait, Lenny can cook?!
"Oh, hi sweetie. Where's your mom?" I asked.
"She left early for work. She even left me a note."
"Read it."
"Ok. Dear Larry, left early for work. And make sure that you and the girl won't make any funny business- ok. We don't need to continue with the note." Lenny crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it to the side.
He gave me a plate of bacon and eggs.
"Wow. Didn't know you could cook." I said as I ate the plate of food.
"Yeah, my dad taught me before going on his business trip."
We ate until Lenny gasped.
"Aw, fuck. I forgot that I have band practice with the band at ten. It's already... Nine forty-three." Lenny said looking at the clock.
"Oh, ok. I wish I could come. But Carrie is there."
"Oh, shit. I forgot! Carrie! I don't think she'll be happy if I'm dating a Grojbandian."
"It's, ok. You could talk about it with her and your band." I said holding his hand.
"Well, you're right."
"Say what, I'll come with you."
"You sure?"
"Positive."
Lenny's POV
We were walking to Carrie's garage to talk things out with my band.
We arrived there.
"Hey Lenny, I- what is she doing here?" Kim said pointing at Laney.
"You brought a Grojbandian?! And you're holding hands with it!" Konnie said walking next to Kim.
"She's not an 'it'." I yelled.
"Lenny." Carrie came in between them.
"Why is she here?" Carrie asked pointing at Laney.
"Well, I'm here to say that we are still dating, and yes Kim and Konnie, we are dating."
Kim and Konnie looked at me angry.
"TRAITOR!" The twins yelled in unison.
"See, this is why I was trying to separate you guys!" Carrie said.
""What?"
"I texted Laney to meet you at your house, and when she came, I kissed you to look like you're cheating on her!" Carrie spat out. I was shocked and angry.
"I don't want you to go out with a Grojbandian, A.K.A, a slut." Carrie said. I looked at Laney for a second and she looked pissed.
"Plus, she looks like a guy."
"That's it!" Laney yelled. She prounced on Carrie. They started to fight.
"Laney, no!" I tried to break up the fight, but the twins pulled me back.
"Lenny, you freaking traitor!" Kim and Konnie yelled at me. I went through them anyways and saw Laney on the floor and Carrie pulling her hair. I pushed Carrie.
"Lenny? The hell?"
"Wow, you and Corey have a lot in common." I said helping Laney up.
"Come on, Lenny! Going out with a Grojbandian is going to ruin the Newmans reputation."
"That's all? You're doing this just for the bands reputation?"
"Lenny, they are our rivals, she's your rival, that isn't right to date your rival!"
"This stupid rival thing with Laney is over!"
"Tell me, Lenny. What will it be? The band or her?"
CLIFFHANGER!
