DICLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING! EXCEPT for the storyline
Coreys POV
It's been a day since I saw Carrie and Lanes doing the unthinkable. I haven't been able to take the visual clips out of my head since then and because of that I am now cooped up in my room with nun one but a white tank top and black sleeping pants along with my friend and consultant Toni. She is just like a little sister to me…..a very hot blooded but caring little sister. She is 15 years old, but in the same grades as me and the others thanks to her genius brain. I first met Toni a few days before I began high school and she was a small figure punk girl with plenty attitude barring that she was has 12 at the time. But now as the years have passed she is now a nicely figured punk girl with attitude. Toni sports a skrillex hairstyle with midnight black colored hair with a blood red stripe and royal blue stripe next to it. She has a decent golden brown tan along with blood red eyes, but if you look closer you can see that they're contacts. Shes wearing a black t-shirt, with black jeans with little spikes on them, and black converses. She has the Skrillex symbol tattooed on her right hand and the Avicii tattooed on her left hand. On her wrists she has about 9 wristbands on. there are five on her left wrist with a survival strap and there are 4 on her right wrist with a rope bracelet and a red g-shock watch. She also has a some scars on her body. The most noticeable ones is the one right above her right eye and what looks like a punctured dog bite on her right cheek that makes one cheek look bigger than the other.
"Ok Core what's happening with you?" asks a very concerned Toni "I've never seen you this bummed out and we've seen Trina when she goes ultra-berserk"
I sighed when Toni asked me what was going on which ticked her off. She then started to continuously ask me and even threaten me to pry the answer out of me. But instead of telling her I would simply say
"Hakuna Matada"
"So you really aren't going to talk to me?" asks Toni
"Hakuna Matada"
"Do you think that you're damn funny Riffin?"
"Hakuna Matada"
"I'm about to put my foot up your ass"
"Hakuna…Matada"
This really set her off to the point that she then went to my ear and whispered the words I thought I would ever hear again. That whisper made me get outta of silent state and gives Toni a mean glare as if I was about fight her. Instead of doing that I just calmed myself down and attempted to put myself in my emo state, but Toni wasn't having that as she tossed me out of my bed. Angry with her I hissed
"Just leave me the hell alone dude! Can't you tell I don't want to be bothered with your bullshit antics?! "
Toni then looked at me and said with a confident smile "Wasn't you who asked me to be here because you had a hard time facing a certain problem? I did this because it sounded like I was needed and that you were over the edge"
"Well forget about it now" I said in a somber tone "It doesn't bother me anymore so you can leave and do what you was doing before I called"
"Bullshit Riffin" saYs Toni "Even though I was cuddled up with Brady I answered your call because you're one of my most close friends, so whether you like it or not you're going to tell me what's the deal. Or do I have to spread the information about that lil past event at Nick Mallory's and Mina's engagement party? "
My eyes blew up like deer does when they see the headlights of a fast approaching car. I rushed to Toni and said with a scared tone
"Please dude anything but that dude. I haven't even told Kin and I usually tell him everything"
Toni then interrupts me and says "Yeah everything other than your 'little' incident"
I sigh and flip Toni the bird in which she laughs and gives me another slick remark. Time passes and with her endless prying I finally open up to Toni and tell her what's going on. I first start off by letting her know that I hold romantic feelings for Lanes. Toni in return says
"Well, it's about damn time dumb ass. Do you know how long Lanes was trying to make you see how she loves you? I mean come on man! Even Kon could've figured it out if he really tried…"
I nodded my head and agreed as she kept on insulting me which lasted a few more moments. I then told her when my feelings for her started. I went all the way back to when we first hit our slump and how she helped me through it along with the help of the twins. After that I started talking about my visit at the Penn's residence after doing so Toni sat on my bed beside me and instead of showing a face of confusion and shock, she was laughing without remorse of my situation. She looked at me and said these words
"So you telling me Lanes is a lesbian now?!" asks a laughing Toni "Plus she did that with Carrie?! That's priceless! "
I then said with malice in voice "That's not damn funny man! "
Toni would then reply by saying "I know….I know what's funny is-"Toni then quickly stopped laughing and says with a straight face and tone "What's funny is how you ran out of the house like a little bitch in those dramatic movies"
At that moment I heard those words from Toni I got furious at her for being cold but I then thought to myself
*This is why I called Toni because he gives people his observations and opinions 100% unfiltered honesty*
Toni then continued on to say "Look man Lanes has had deep feelings for your ass since she first met you. How do I know this? She told me of course. However, you were so dense and oblivious to it all the time that it would crush her, but she stayed determined to make you understand until….Well I guess I don't have to say the rest since you saw the consequences of your actions"
Then with my head dropped down as I realize that what Toni was saying was dead on right I ask "So what am I supposed to do? "
Toni then sported a mischievous smile which then kinda worried me and said "Well you are going through something I like to say 'A shocking yet tempting development'. "
I then immediately ask "What the fuck you mean by that!? How can that be tempting? Shocking yes, but tempting? Hell no"
Toni then looked at me with a stern glare and said "First off, shut the hell up Riffin and secondly, listen. Now I understand what you're going through is kind of a mind fuck right now but remember this because this will help you out in this whole entire situation. Laney is probably still in love with you Corey Riffin"
"You think so?" I asked with a glimmer of hope on my face
"Yeah I do think so" says Toni "A girl doesn't just drop their love for someone like that especially in Laney's case. I think that she just tried to move on because you weren't giving her the time of day. Now Corey do you remember the saying 'Bad habits die hard'? "
I replied with a nod and ask "So you're trying to say I'm her bad habit? "
"Exactly! But in a good way" smiles Toni "Now look before I put any false hope into you there could be a chance that you could be given lemons then all I can say is make lemonade"
I looked at Toni with a confused expression and say "Wait…what the hell did you just said? Give me lemons?! "
"What I mean is that you there could be a chance that she could turn to the dark side A.K.A. Be a Lesbian." says Toni who shivers as she says the last part "Now if that supposedly happens then try to make the most out of the situation and shit who knows, you could end up having not only have the now luscious Laney Penn of the rising rock band named 'Grojband' plus Carrie Beff who isn't too far off from Laney"
I felt impressed by Toni's analysis and said "So that's what you meant by a shocking yet tempting development"
"Yep so in the end the outcome of this matter is be based on what you're going to do Corey Riffin" says Toni who then gets up from my bed "Anyways I should get going it's almost time for you guys usual practice"
As that happens we hear the doorbell ring so Toni and I went down to the front door to answer it. I opened it and saw that it's the Kijura Twins. Kin the brainiac only has gotten smarter. He also has gotten taller as he now stands at 6'1. Like me he let his hair grow out and is looking a packing a little bit of muscle. He wears the same outfit as always. Everyone's loveable oaf better known as Kon has grew significantly through the years. Kon is now a huge jock as he stands at a muscular 6'8. Like his brother Kin, Kon's appearance hasn't really changed except for his height and growth in muscle mass. Unlike me both the twins has a very stable love life with Kin dating Kim from the Newmans for now 2 years and Kon dating my sister Trina for about a year. Yes I said it, Kon Kijura is dating my sister Katrina Riffin. I really don't wanna talk about how they got together.
The two would greet me and Toni with giant smiles on their faces. The four of us then start to walk in the groj and we talk about what's been going on with us. Kin talked about his new inventions while Kon was talking about while Kon was talking about how the football team was begging him to play for them this year.
We then enter the groj where we then sat down on some chairs they wanted to know what me and Toni were up to and I told them we were just in my room having a good conversation. They would then give me and Toni suspicious stares as if they were about to investigate us for a crime. The reason for that is because a few years back there was a rumor that me and Toni were "talking" and it kinda made some noise especially with the band and our friends. We was able to kill the rumors after about two weeks but for some reason some people think that it may be close to happening….including the the twins. Now do Toni and I like each other as friends? yeah and thats it we both have love for someone else. Toni is in love of her boyfriend Brady while unfortunately me I'm in love with Lanes.
But as that was happening we hear the doorbell ring. So as I chance to escape the stares from Kin and Kon I quickly dash to the door to see who it is. I open the door with a smile and says
"Heya!"
But my smile would fade as I see its the main source of my problem: Laney Penn. Alongside Lanes is her accomplice Carrie Beff.
"Hey Core" smiles Lanes and Carrie
I give them both a fake smile and greet them back. I see Lanes is wearing a strapless Grojband shirt with white pants along with black vans. While Carrie no longer wearing her beanie is wearing a blue t-shirt with black pants with blue converses. I then let them in and we walked to the groj. As we walked there I was looking at their black and blue colors of their clothes and said to myself
*Thats exactly how I'm feeling right now*
A/N: Let the drama commence...next chapter anyways xD. Thanks for reading and please review. Until next time, peace!
