Corey stood motionless as his last cord faded away, she had written that herself? What else had she been able to write, if it was as amazing as this than it was definitely something he would pester her about. He watched as she sighed, pushing her hair out from her face before he spoke. "Lanes, that was amazing, I had no idea that you could compose so well."

She didn't bother to face him. "I just write what I feel, it's no big deal. Anyways," she walked towards him, her bass hanging lazily from her neck. "Here," she handed him the microphone. "We should probably work on something now."

Before he could respond Kon's voice broke the silence. "You sounded great Laney, why don't we try some more stuff like that, as long as Corey doesn't mind." He suggested sheepishly from behind his drums.

Corey shrugged, he didn't care if he had to share the stage with Lanes, especially his Lanes; he liked the idea of singing with her, it was almost enough to make his cheeks flush lightly.

"Yeah, Kon's right, you have a great voice, not to mention the kick butt lyrics you came up with. So come on Laney show us what you've got."

She hadn't thought about the idea before, despite the two of three times she had sung back up and a duet with him. Laney didn't know if she could handle it, it was true that she had written songs, not just for her but also for Corey and the two of them; but what if she blew it, what would everyone else think of her? Laney didn't know if she would be able to hold herself together.

"Sorry, but I don't think that would work." She mumbled.

"Come on Lanes." Corey said, putting his hand on her shoulder, and replacing the mic in her hand. "Just try."

Sighing to herself she pulled another page free from her journal and handed it out to the other members of garage band. "Fine, I'll try."

.oO0Oo.

Laney sat on the stage trying to catch her breath, Corey sat next to her rubbing her back. "You sounded amazing Lanes."

She looked at him and laughed, "I didn't think that I would be quite this tired after that. I have to give you credit Core, you're pretty impressive." He smiled at her.

"I never really thought of it like that, but I guess you're right, I am pretty impressive." She rolled her eyes at him, punching his shoulder as she stood up, her mood finally improving slightly. "Anyways," he chuckled, "if we're going to have you ready for the next gig you're going to have to practice like crazy." She looked at him as if he had grown a second head.

"Our next gig? Core that's in less than a week, there's no way we're going to be able to make that deadline."

"We've managed to perform without even having lyrics, I'm pretty damn sure that we'll be able to make it."

She sighed, she knew that the other members of the band would be able to complete the task, she was really referring to herself, she wasn't particularly confident with herself, if she was going to hold herself together she knew that by the end of the week she would have more scars than before... the thought didn't bother her, but she knew that if Corey knew he would flip, cancel the gig and never let her out of his site again.

"Yeah, you're right, just make sure you're able to memorize your cords." She stood up, grabbing her wallet and walking to the garages door. Before Corey could ask she answered for him. "I'm going to run to Jerry's, I'm in dire need of some hair dye."

And then she was gone.

Jerry's is a drugstore... But I know this was uneventful, sorry about that I'm babysitting right now so I'm having one mess after another, I was making dinner and then the dog knocked it onto the floor... Ate it anyway.

So please leave me a review... I haven't gotten many, so I really wanna hear your thoughts, honestly I have one idea, but other than that I'm in a writing block. You can help me with that!

So, I went back to school shopping today... Now I have little erasers that you put on your pencils and guess what... They look like hats! It's a hat for your pencil! It's so super cool!

Sorry off track, please leave me a review guys!

Thanks in advance!
