She pushed herself out of Corey's arms, making sure not to wake him, she stepped over Kin and Scott who were sprawled out on the ground huddled under a blanket. Her head hurt and her stomach was cramping, slowly Laney made her way towards the bathroom, closing the door quietly behind her; she kneeled down on the floor, pushed the toilet seat up and vomited. She flushed her stomach's contents, and leaned her head against the wall as she tried to catch her breath. A knock startled her, and she groaned, leaning back over the toilet.

"Lanes?" She spit trying to get the wretched taste from her mouth.

"Go away." Laney mumbled before she was forced back over the toilet.

"Shit, what's the matter?" He asked, kneeling down next to her and pulling her hair back.

Glaring at him she took a breath and spoke. "Oh I don't know, maybe it has something to do with that chloroform." She hissed as her stomach finally began to settle.

"I'm sorry Lanes, but you were going to fight us the whole way if we hadn't."

Flushing to toilet she pushed herself up, stumbling on her feet as her head spun, to her dismay Corey caught her by the waist as her footing faltered. She pushed him away. "I don't care if you're sorry," her hands held her up against the sink. "That doesn't really matter, you did it, and Core... I always think that I love you, one minute I enjoy being around you and the next you do some shit like this that makes me want to hate you, so I have to question my feelings for you over and over again... So, even though you do all these stupid things... why can't I stay mad at you?" Laney took a deep breath, looking directly into his eyes before she continued. "And why, even after /this/, do I still want to be with you?"

She had thought of it before, but it wasn't easy for her to come up with the answer, she loved him and always had, but it wasn't the first time he had done something like this, but even after all of his blunders, she couldn't ever say that she hated him, that she didn't want to be next to him.

Corey leaned his back against the wall, closing his eyes. "You think that I don't ask myself the same question?" Sighing he took her hand. "Lanes, you can be so stupid, and sometimes you don't even remember that people care about you. Do you have any idea how much that hurts? I never know what to do when you get like that, and it scares me. But I'm trying, so please just bare with me."

She wrapped her arms around his neck. "You're such an asshole."

After she brushed her teeth, they snuck back out of the bathroom together, Laney took a glance at the clock, 3:32, it wasn't worth waking the other teenagers, it was best just to wait until the morning. Corey sat himself back on their half of the sofa, opening his arms for her, she happily obliged, sinking into the space next to him as fatigue started to weigh upon her, she slumped against Corey as he covered them with a blanket. The next thing she knew, Laney was once again floating in her unconscious mind.

.oO0Oo.

She jumped up as a loud crash awoke her from her sleep and she could tell it wasn't going to be a good morning. Looking to the space next to her she noticed Corey's absence that had been replaced by a pillow; slowly she got to her feet, wrapping the blanket around her for warmth and made her way towards the source of her rude awakening, the kitchen. It shouldn't have come as a surprise that waiting for her would be the twins, Scott, Jerry, Dan and none other than Corey, all digging through the cabinets for something to eat.

Slumping down at one of the islands she put her head on the counter, "you woke me up." Laney was not a force to be trifled with in the morning, the members of grojband knew that very well; she wasn't surprised when the boys jumped at the sound of her voice. Kin looked to Corey, silently telling him to calm her.

"H-hey Lanes." He smiled, walking towards the other side of the island. "Did you sleep well?" She only glared at him. "I'll take that as a 'yes Core, I slept amazingly.'"

"You. Woke. Me. Up." She spoke slowly, lifting her head to look at him.

"Sorry, but we were only trying to get some breakfast, if you want to blame anyone you can blame me, I knocked over the bowl." He said, flashing her one of his smiles.

How could she argue with that?

I know it's not that eventful, but I'm exausted so I'm going to bed, it's amazing that I can even type at this point, I think I'm deleting more than I'm writing.

Anyways if you would please review that would be great, I really miss hearing from you all as much as I used to!

So next time we'll be getting back into the story, but I wanted to work on Core and Lanes relationship a bit. So that's why this is so mushy.

Review?
