The Difference Between You And Me (Slipknot Fan Fic)

Chapter 24 - I Need You

Corey's P.O.V - Saturday

OK... Today is the day.
Today is our big chance. We got this.
I still can't believe Cortney was scared about me leaving her for Slipknot. We stayed up all night talking about it. Well... She was writing and I was talking, but anyway, I could never leave her for anything. I love her, so much!

"Slipknot! 10 minutes!" A lady shouted.
"Shit. Shit. Shiiiiiiit!" Sid whined.
"Just chill. Act like the producer isn't out there. We don't know what he looks like, so he could be anyone!" Clown said, getting his mask on.
"Shawn's right. This is just another show." I said, checking my phone for the time.

08:50 pm

"Just, like, play it for the girls." Paul said.
"Exactly." Craig nodded.
We all nodded and got ready.

~ After The Show ~

"Success!" Joey shouted, walking outside for air. It was so hot under the lights!
We followed and talked, whiles drinking water.

"Slipknot?" A guy asked, walking over.
"That is us." Paul smiled.

The guy was tall with longish black hair. He wore shades so his eyes were covered, but he seem alright. He had a black hoodie on, dark blue jeans and old, black, wrecked converse. Who was this guy?

"Names Jackson Lake." He said, taking his shades off. "I'm a music producer. I'm actually out looking for a new fresh band. Your sound seems to get attention and the masks are fantastic." He smiled.
"You're the producer?" Sid asked.
"Yeah." Jackson smiled.
"Well..." I looked at Paul, then back at Jackson. "Thanks. I'm Corey." I smiled, holding my hand out for him to shake.

He reached out, but I pulled back. "Can we trust you?" I asked, as he chuckled.
"Course. Take my card. Ring me and we'll talk music." He smiled, taking his card out.

The girls ran over and joined us, laughing at something.
Craig took the card from Jackson and nodded, as saying 'We'll talk at some point'.
"Whose this?" Brenna asked, smiling at Jackson.
"Jackson Lake. He's a music producer. Jackson this is my girlfriend, Brenna. I'm Paul, by the way." Paul introduced himself and Brenna.
"Nice to meet you." Jackson smiled.
"And you." Brenna replied.

"Well, we'll be in touch. I have to get the car back, before trouble." I said.
"Right. We'll talk soon." Jackson smiled.

We all parted ways and as usual it was just me and Cortney in the car, on the drive.
"Cort..." I trailed.
She smiled, looking at me.
"Should we ring him?" I asked. I was nervous of how this would turn out.
Cortney nodded. "You'll never now, if you never try." She typed into her phone.
"Yeah.... You're right." I nodded, handing her phone back to her.

I kissed her lips gently and we climbed out the car and into the house.

~ Next Day ~

"So how was it?" Eric asked, sat at the table, with a coffee.
"Awesome. The producer, guy, was called Jackson Lake and he gave Craig his card, so we're planning on ringing him later." I smiled, sitting at the table, taking a slice of toast.
Cortney smiled and sat next to me.

"Great. Keep me updated!" Eric smiled.
I chuckled and smiled at Cortney. She stopped eating and looked at me as if asking 'is something on my face?'
I shook my head and she nodded slowly.

She is so beautiful. How can someone be so beautiful. Her hazel eyes, electric blue hair, personality. I love her so much. All this time I've known her and I don't even know her natural hair colour.
I woke up from my daze when someone knocked on the door.

"I got it." I smiled, getting up.
I walked to the door with Cortney and opened up to see the guys, Brenna and Stacy.
"Ready to make the call?" Craig asked, holding up Jackson's card.
