A New Beginning

Chapter 14: Goodbye

Laney's POV.

The party is really cool. I'm glad my Mom made me stay at Corey's till it was ready. He even knew but didn't tell me. We start out by getting our pictures taken by fang and signing autographs like usual with fans. After which, The band and I head over to the Laser Tag. There are ten of us so that should be enough for two teams. Team one is me, Katey, Jake, Gwen, and Alana. Team 2 is Corey, Jessica, Kin, Kon, and Alley.

We are then shown safety procedures by our instructor before we head into the giant tent. Our team heads in first but for some reason, we all split up. Oh well. We all get radars that tells us where our teammates are but not our enemies. I hide behind a corner and check to see if there's anyone there. . . Clear. Making my way down the hallway, I hear someone's laser noise and light miss my vest. I turn to see Jake still trying to zap me when I duck.

I roll across the floor before he can get his laser into place. I then get up behind him and zap his vest signaling he's out . . . for now. "Not today Jake."

We both laugh before he runs in the opposite direction. I then hear a buzzing sound coming from my vest. I turn to see Corey smirking while walking over to me. "Well I guess today is the day Lanes. He then zaps his own vest, kisses me and we end up falling with me ending up on top of him. Not really caring, we stay in the same place for three minutes while zapping each other's vests every thirty seconds. We hear footsteps coming from around the corner to then see Gwen step out.

She takes one look and chuckles. "Fooling with the enemy today Cous'?" She then takes off down the hallway as we continue.

After another three minutes time's up and we all go back outside. Corey's team won but we weren't even counting.

Corey's POV.

Today was just perfect. We played Laser Tag, swam in the pool for a few hours, and even had an ice cream snowball fight. It's about seven thirty and it's time for us to perform.

Backstage, Laney was pacing back and forth. Why is she so worried? I walk over to try to calm her down. "Lanes are you OK?"

"Huh? Yeah. . . I'm fine. . . "

"No Laney, what's the matter?"

"Well. . . " Laney started nervously. "It't my voice, it was kinda cracking earlier and I just don't want to mess up."

I pull Laney close and hug her tightly. "Laney you'll be perfect! Nothing has EVER stopped us yet. This'll be no exception."

I let her go and she gives me a kiss on my cheek. "I think I need another for good luck. . ." I give her the 'puppy dog eyes' and she does it again.

We hear Jake give the audience our intro. "And now folks, the moment you've been waiting for all day. You know them and they know you, GIVE IT UP FOR GROJBAND!"

The crowd goes ballistic and we get to our stations. Laney goes for the mic and Kon counts us in.

"One, Two, Three, Four!"

(Pilot - Magic)

Oh, ho, ho
It's magic, you know
Never believe it's not so
It's magic, you know
Never believe, it's not so

Never been awake
Never seen a day break
Leaning on my pillow in the morning
Lazy day in bed
Music in my head
Crazy music playing in the morning light

Oh, ho, ho
It's magic, you know
Never believe it's not so
It's magic, you know
Never believe, it's not so

I love my sunny day
Dream of far away
Dreaming on my pillow in the morning
Never been awake
Never seen a day break
Leaning on my pillow in the morning light

Oh, ho, ho
It's magic, you know
Never believe it's not so
It's magic, you know
Never believe, it's not so

(Instrumental)

Oh, ho, ho
It's magic, you know
Never believe it's not so
It's magic, you know
Never believe, it's not so

The crowd cheers and cheers without stopping. I decide to take the next song myself. Hopefully Laney's voice isn't too dry.

(Linkin Park - Numb)

Tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
I don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure, of walking in your shoes

[caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow]
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
[caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow]

I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
I've become so tired so much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you.

Can't you see that you're smothering me
Holding too tightly afraid to lose control
Cause everything that you thought I would be
Is falling apart right in front of you.

[caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow],
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
[caught in the undertow,just caught in the undertow]
And every second I waste is more than I can take.

I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
I've become so tired
So much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you.

And I know
I may end up failing too

But I know
You were just like me
With someone disappointed in you.

I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
I've become so tired
So much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
[tired of being what you want me to be]
I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
[tired of being what you want me to be


* (TRANSITION) WICKED COOL TRANSITION! *


After the party's over, we all head back to my house for the after party, just the four of us like usual. But right before I can open up the Groj door, I feel a fist hit the back of my head and I hit the ground hard. Laney comes over to assist me and I turn around to see my attacker, Carrie Beff.

"Oh great, more bullshit from you!" I say trying to stand up.

"SHUT UP RIFFIN!" She yells in our faces. "I've HAD IT with your wannabe band. First, you steal my band idea. Then you steal our gigs. NOW Your little stunt has put us basically OUT OF BUSINESS!"

"You did that to yourself!" Laney tries to stick up for me.

"Can it Penn! I don't need lip from you. . ."

No One's POV.

Laney goes up to her and tries to punch her in the face but is tackled down by Lenny. Kim and Konnie pop up behind Kin and Kon and attack them too. Corey turns his head to see Carrie start going after him. He trips her and she falls to the ground. Before he can get up, she pulls him back and starts punching his face. Laney is able to get out of Lenny's clutch and she throws Carrie off of Corey. When Carrie falls, Kon escapes from Konnie and a knife goes flying from Carrie's pocket.

Lenny goes after it and trips to the ground. He grabs the open pocket knife and stands up. But when he turns around, everybody hears a squishing sound. Lenny opens his eyes to see the knife has been stabbed into someone's heart as a giant bloodstain forms. Lenny's mouth hangs open and he looks up to see Kon looking really woozy. Lenny pulls the knife out and Kon falls to his knees. The Newmans then run from the scene while Corey, Laney, and Kin run to help their weak drummer. Kon falls into Kin's arms with Kin's eyes pouring with tears.

"OH MY GOD KON! PLEASE DON'T DIE BRO! KON? PLEASE WAKE UP!"

The gang help Kon into Corey's car, and they drive to the hospital.


Everything has to come to an end. . . I'll see you all in Chapter 15. Thanks For Coming Out Everyone! *Slams Groj Door*
