Hey guys! I know I have 3 stories still in progress, but How I Would've Done It only has one chapter left, so I thought I'd get started on this series of one-shots. This is one of my newest favorite shows… Grojband! I just think Laney and Corey look so cute together! Plus, it's totes obvious that Laney likes Corey.

I have a ton of story ideas for these two, but I'll start with this one based on one of my favorite songs. It's "Face Down" from Red Jumpsuits Apparatus. These are the kinds of stories you get when you stare at the floor while your bored in your summer school class. FIVE HOURS IN ONE CLASSROOM! I almost threw myself out of the window out of boredom!

Anyways, hope you guys like this. I also recommend you watch Grojband. It's awesome! Cartoon Network weekdays 5pm!


Corey's POV

I was walking to my garage for band practice when I heard Laney voice coming from inside. "He's just a friend Danny." She said. Danny, or Daniel, Barton was her new boyfriend. I never thought he was right for her. Fine, I'm just jealous. I should've asked Laney out when I had the chance, but now I can't.

"No. He's not. Ken and Kon are 'just friends.'" Danny said in a steely voice. I couldn't understand why a boyfriend would talk to his girlfriend in that voice. "This Corey kid is not. I know you liked him before."

Laney was silent for a couple seconds. "So what if I did? I'm over it." My heart dropped into the floor at that sentence. How could I be so stupid as to not ask her out when she would've said yes?

"No you're not. I can see it in your eyes and you can't be friends with a guy you used to and still like while you're dating me." Danny said. Then I heard the distinct sound of a slap and a body fall to the floor.

My eyes widened as I looked into the window and saw Laney on the floor, holding her cheek. Danny stood over her and yelled, "This is what happens when you don't listen to me!" Then he kicked her in the stomach. I silently gasped at this sight.

Danny opened the garage door and left, leaving Laney there to stagger to her feet on her own. She finally managed to do it and walked to the bathroom. I walked through the garage door and saw the door was opened a crack.

Laney gasped at the sight of her swollen cheek. I saw a few stray tears roll down her eyes as she pulled out some cover-up out of her combat boots and applied it. "Fifth container I've gone through." She said to herself, thinking she was alone. "Last one. It's never gonna happen again. He loves me."

I backed out of the garage and walked back in to seem like I hadn't seen anything. Laney walked out of the bathroom as I walked in. "Hey Lanes."

"Hey Core," She said as happy as I had known her to be. But I saw the scared Laney that I need to help underneath the surface.

"Laney, you know you can tell me anything right?" I said, hoping she would get the hint and tell me on her own.

"Yeah." She answered simply. Then Ken and Kon showed up and we started rehearsal.

I held the twins back after Laney had left. "Okay, I need you two to help me with something."

"Is this one of your crazy schemes?" Ken asked

"That just might work?" Kon finished. I nodded and they said in unison, "What do you need us to do?" I fist pumped the air and told them the plan.


Grojband had a gig at the Peaceville Park that weekend. It was a music festival and we were asked to perform. For this gig, I didn't even need Trina's help on the lyrics. I wrote this one all on my own.

I peeked a look at the crowd from behind the curtains. I saw Laney sitting there with Danny's arm wrapped around her shoulders in the front row. Her body looked tense. I had to do this… for Laney's sake. I couldn't let her go on like this.

"You ready dude?" Kon asked coming up behind me. He had Brittany with him. She was our replacement base so that Laney didn't have to perform. I nodded. "Then let's do this!"

We went out and I went up to the mic. "This song is for my best friend, Laney Penn." I said and pointed to her, "It's about her relationship with Danny Barton. Also, I wrote this all on my own." The band started and I started singing.

Hey girl you know you drive me crazy
One look puts the rhythm in my hand
Still I'll never understand why you hang around
I see what's going down

Cover up with make up in the mirror
Tell yourself it's never gonna happen again
You cry alone and then he swears he loves you

Do you feel like a man
When you push her around?
Do you feel better now, as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found

A pebble in the water makes a ripple effect
Every action in this world will bear a consequence
If you wait around forever you will surely drown
I see what's going down

I see the way you go and say you're right again,
Say you're right again,
Heed my lecture

Do you feel like a man
When you push her around?
Do you feel better now, as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found

One day she will tell you that she has had enough
It's coming round again
(X2)

Do you feel like a man
When you push her around?
Do you feel better now, as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has

Face down in the dirt!
She said "This doesn't hurt!"
She said "I finally had enough!"
(X2)

Laney had a shocked and scared expression on her face. Danny, on the other hand, looked like he wanted to kill me and Lanes. "Lanes, I'm sorry. I couldn't let the girl I love go on with a guy like that." I said.

"You love me?" She asked with hope filling her eyes. I nodded and she ran up onto the stage. She threw her arms around my neck and pulled me into a kiss. I wrapped my arms around her waist and deepened the kiss. Electricity flowed through my body. When oxygen became necessary, we pulled away. "I love you too."

Suddenly something jerked her out of my grasp. I came face to face with Danny and boy was he mad. "Did Laney tell you about it?" He said.

"No." I answered, "Next time, don't beat her in my garage. Fortunately, there won't be a next time."

"Why's that?" he asked. Just then two policemen showed up and handcuffed him. They started to drag him away.

"Wait one second." I told them and they stopped. "This is from Laney and me." A confused look flashed on his face. Only for a second, though, because I then punched him square in the face. His head snapped to the side as blood started to flow from his nose.


After the police took Danny away and everyone had left, Laney came up to me and sat next to me on the stage. "Thank you." She said.

"You're welcome." I said. I put an arm around her shoulders. She put her head on my shoulder and I kissed her hair. "I would do anything for you."

"And that's one of the many reasons I love you."

"I promise I'll protect you from anything."

"And there's another reason." She said and leaned up to kiss me.


How was that? Also, there's one question I need to ask for the next one-shot. What's the name of the eating disorder where you make yourself throw up? I can't remember for the life of me. Anyways, hope you guys liked it. R&R please!
