Laney practically knocked the door down, storming into the house, ignoring the outbursts from her bandmates behind her, she need her release and she needed it now. A hand wrapped around her arm as she made her way towards the kitchen, "let me go!" She shouted, pulling her arm free and shoving Corey back, away from her. She ignored him and ran to the kitchen, not caring that they were all there or if they knew what she was doing. She didn't care that it wasn't going to be a secret from them. From him.

Frantically she searched the drawers, she pulled out a small, sharp knife from one of them, and ran towards the front of the house, she needed privacy at least, she needed to lock herself away from them and be alone with her thoughts. She was blocking out the screams that were erupting from behind her. Suddenly a body appeared in front of her, keeping her from leaving the room, it was Kon, the two other boys entering the room behind her.

"Laney, give that to me." Corey spoke slowly, approaching her with his arms outstretched. She pushed herself back against the wall, gripping the knife tightly in her palm.

"Corey, I... I want it." She mumbled, watching as he came closer to her. Trying to avoid him, she pushed herself to the right, but she wasn't fast enough. Arms wrapped around her waist, pulling her back as she fought him; Corey worked the knife out of her hand, giving it to Kin who came closer to them.

Corey hadn't understood how she had gone south so fast, but he sure as hell wasn't going to let her relapse; he could feel her body trembling, and he slowly let go of her. She slid to the ground, wrapping her arms around her legs and collapsing around herself.

"Please..." She whispered, tears welling in her eyes as she shook with each sob that escaped her body. Laney knew she should pull herself together, but the sun was gone, she couldn't bring herself to do it, she wanted to drown. She couldn't stop the tears from falling down her face as she broke down, her world breaking into billions of pieces around her.

"Lanes, it's okay... You're okay." Corey spoke softly, kneeling down before her and wrapping his arms around her. A sob shook her body as she dug her nails into her arms.

"But, Corey I need it." She begged him, not daring to look up. He didn't respond, he just let her cry, shushing her, rubbing her back and holding her tightly. Finally she braved a look, taking in the smile on Corey's face, but the distant and lost look in his eyes; the twins standing by one another, watching her, fear and worry printed on their faces.

It was just one more thing that she had caused, it was her fault...

"You're okay Lanes." Corey spoke softly, his hand pressing against her cheek and his thumb rubbing against her skin that was dirtied with tears. "I'm not going to let you do this."

"Why?" She asked in a small voice, it wasn't hurting him, and it made her feel /better/ so why did he always insist on stopping her.

"Because I love you too much to watch you destroy yourself Lanes." He hugged her again, making sure his words sank in as he embraced her.

Before she was able to protest, Corey stood, picking her up in his arms, letting her rest her head on his shoulder, her arms wrapped around his neck.

.oO0Oo.

She woke up for the second time that day, but unlike the first she was pressed against Corey's chest. She could feel him whispering across the top of her head by the way his chest was moving. Laney pressed herself further into him, burying her head into the crook of his neck.

He stopped whispering, "morning sleepy head."

She put her hands up against his face. "Sleeping." She groaned, trying to make him be quiet. He laughed at her, pushing her hands away.

"It's actually the afternoon..." Kin said from behind her.

"So saying morning was the wrong choice dude." Kon finished his thought.

"Shut up, I wanna sleep." Laney groaned, trying her best to block out their rambling.

"Sorry Lanes, but you can't sleep forever, besides we have a plan to put into action." Corey mumbled against her head. She crossed her arms over her chest, not only did she want to sleep, but they were going to go through with this half ass plan that the boys had come up with. "And sorry to say it Lanes... but you're going to have to stay here tonight." That comment made her shoot up like a rocket.

"Who the hell decided that?!" She yelled, pushing herself up.

"I don't want you to get hurt, besides if Madison see's you it could ruin the whole thing. I'm really sorry."

"No, what the hell, I'm not just going to sit here why you all go off playing soldier, that's no fair, I'm part of this too. You can't just leave me here!" She shouted while she paced around the room. "And besides, even if you do, it's not like I'm just going to sit here, you can't keep me here like some little kid!"

Corey grabbed her hand, pulling her to a stop. "We're only doing this to keep you safe Lanes."

"Well you can't do this, it's not fair." She tried to pull her hand free.

"I told you she wasn't going to agree to it Corey." Kon said, walking up behind him.

"Damn straight I won't." She mumbled.

Corey sighed turning and nodding to Kin who walked towards her. The next thing she knew Corey was holding her down and a cloth was pressed against her lips and nose. She struggled to free her arms but it was no use, and darkness began to consume her.

"I'm so sorry Lanes."
