"Corey stop, please stop." Laney pulled on his hand, but to no avail, she wasn't strong enough.
"Lanes, she did /this/ to you, what do you expect me to do, sit here and do nothing?" He asked, storming up the stairs and slamming his bedroom door. She banged her hands against the wood.
"You can't Corey, she. Will. Kill. You." The door flew open, and Corey walked past her while pulling on his beenie.
"I'm going Laney, she hurt you, that's not okay and I'm sure as hell not going to let that happen again."
"Corey, just stop and look at me dammit!" She shouted, grabbing his shoulders, successfully turning him. "I know you're mad, I am too, but going and getting yourself killed isn't going to change anything, that's what she wants. Besides, I need you, I can't lose you Corey... I just can't." She stood on the stair above him, quickly wiping away the tears from her eyes as they fell, but she wasn't fast enough and before she knew it they streamed down her face.
Sighing he wrapped his arms around her shoulders, pulling her into him, stroking her hair, and shushing her muffled sobs. "Lanes... I'll be okay, I'm just going to talk with her."
She shook her head and raised her fist, pushing it into his shoulder. "You are so stupid Corey Riffin, why can't you just listen to me? She said she'd kill you, and you know just as well as I do that Madison doesn't lie, she'll do it Corey, I don't want to lose you!" She yelled at him, her hands fisting his shirt, her tears only falling faster.
"Lanes, shhh. It's okay-"
"No it's not." She mumbled against his shoulder.
"Yes it is, if you're this upset..." he sighed. "We'll think of something else. Okay?" His words didn't comfort her, sighing again he pulled her head out from his shirt, wiping off her face. "It's going to be okay, I won't let anyone hurt you."
"I'm not worried about me Core..." She rubbed her nose and sniffled trying to control herself. "I don't want to lose you..."
He smiled at her, "I know you are, and I promise you that I'll be okay." He kissed her forehead. "Okay?"
She nodded, pushing her hair out of her face. "What will we do?" Laney asked, watching as he pulled her down the stairs and towards the living room.
"We'll have to ask the experts." He winked, pulling her onto the sofa next to him, wrapping his arms around her while they sat. "But they won't be awake for a few hours."
Hey guys, so I know it's short and not very well written, but I've been having some relapse (I guess that's the right word) with my depression, so I've been having a hard time doing... well anything, but I'm committed to updating whenever I can manage to, this story's hard for me to write, but I'm going to finish it.
I just thought that you should all know why I'm not updating as often, this usually happens every year when it gets close to the start of school, I've actually been talking with my therapist about it, but she's not being particularly helpful about anything...
So I should have another update at least up tomorrow, but I'll make sure to keep you all updated, if I'm stuck in the hospital or anything... Hopefully not! So wish me luck!
On another note, which is hopefully lighter, I really love to hear from you, it always touches me when I get to see how my writing can touch a persons life, makes me think it's not THAT bad!
So please leave me your thoughts! I really appreciate it, and sorry again. :)
