Dianna was at home it was a typical Saturday until Ms. Lea Michele called her. She opened the phone:
"Hello."
"Hi, Di. How are you?"
"Fine you?"
"Fine."
"What do I owe the honor of you calling me?"
"Dianna are you at home?"
Dianna kind of panicked.
"I don't like your voice. It's your serious voice. What's going on?"
"Did you been to twitter or any news site?"
"Why? Did something bad happen? Is it Mark? I told him to be careful while building that bird houses."
"Dianna slow down. He is okay. Everyone is okay."
"Then what happened?"
"You might want to sit down."
"I'm sitting and you are freaking me out."
"Remember all those news about Chord leaving the show?"
Dianna remembered them clearly. She was so sad and panicked when she heard them. Chord leaving the show, its something that will totally broke Dianna.
"Yeah."
"Honey, they're not rumors."
There was silence on the other side. She couldn't believe it. Lea must have known it wrong. Chord would have told her. If not to her than certainly to Mark or Darren.
"He confirmed it."
"What? Why?"
"Problems with Ryan, they didn't make him a regular and he wanted to spend some time on music."
Silence again.
Flashbacks come to her mind. She remembered the long talks in Ryan's office and the little loud talks at the concert backstage or hotel.
"Dianna?"
"I'm here."
"I'm sorry."
"Did you talk with him?"
"No he is not opening his phone. All of us tried. And we are really worried."
"Did-did you know it before?"
"No, no one did."
Dianna was about cry.
"Why didn't he tell us?"
"I don't know Di. Hey, wanna come over. We can make a movie marathon or something."
"No, thanks. I'm fine."
"Dianna."
"Just, I wanna be alone okay."
"Tell him how you feel."
"I'm sorry but it's already too late."
"It's never late for anything."
"Bye Lea."
"Bye."
Dianna started to cry. She couldn't believe what just happened. He can't leave the show and leave her. What will she do in the breaks? Whose impressions and jokes will she laugh? Who will make her smile even tough she is very sad? Seeing whose smile or hearing whose voice will just make her happy?
She tried calling him many times but he didn't open any of them. So she got in her car and drove his home. She rang the bell. He opened the door:
He was shocked.
"Dianna."
"Chord."
"Won't you take me in?"
"Sorry. Come in."
She stayed quiet for minutes. She didn't know what to say. At last:
"So you are leaving."
"Di, I-"
"When were you planning to tell us, tell me?"
"I was going to tell you, all of you but I couldn't."
"So you think it's better we learn it from some fucking news site or from fans on twitter. And plus to that you decide to ignore us."
Chord heard Dianna swearing two or three times. She might be pretty angry he thought.
"Dianna I'm sorry. I know I should have told you but-"
"But what?"
"I thought you would be mad at me and not talk to me. Or worse forget me."
As soon as Dianna heard this, her heart melted. His voice was so broken.
"Why would us do something like that? We love you. We are a family and you're a part of it. And families don't forget."
Chord couldn't stand because he thought he would start to cry so he hugged her and said:
"Thank you."
Dianna was surprised but he hugged him back. For a minute Dianna forget everything but then it hit her again. He is leaving.
"But just so you know I will miss seeing your face everyday or having scenes with you, maybe if they give songs too."
Dianna couldn't hold it anymore she started to cry. Chord:
"Please don't. I'm not leaving you."
"Your impressions, the jokes you make,
Chord started to cry too.
"Songs we sing on the breaks especially the Disney ones, your ability to make me laugh and-
"Please stop."
"Why won't you miss those things?"
"I will miss them so so much that it hurts."
They stayed quiet for a long time than Dianna said:
"I should leave. Call everyone in the cast and talk to them. They all deserve an explanation and they are worried about you."
Chord shyly said:
"Don't leave."
"The boy says who is leaving and I should really go."
"Fine. But before you go I need to tell you something."
"I'm listening."
"A friend of mine said that if I don't tell you this she will kick my ass and another one said our bromance will be over so it's a very important topic."
Dianna smiled the fact that the friends are Naya and Mark. Chord continued:
"Dianna just listen to me without saying anything"
Now Dianna is really curious. She said:
"Okay."
"When I first met you I thought this girl is really beautiful. Sure I saw you on TV before as I was watching Glee but in real life you are way more beautiful. Then we become friends, they changed the script because of our chemistry. As the time passes by we become really good friends. You are like one of the most important persons in my life. During all of these I-I fell in love with you. When I see you sad all I want to do is to make you smile. During the concert I was like a little puppy that follows you everywhere. And I still can't believe how you didn't get that I like-love you. I like spending time with you. But I was scared because I never felt like this before and you are way out of my league according to my some old friends. In short like the song says 'lucky I'm in love with my best friend.'
Dianna started to cry but like happy tears. Chord panicked:
"Did I say something wrong?"
"No, Chordy. You said the most beautiful thing I've ever heard."
Then she kissed him and he kissed her back. When they pull off she said:
"And a friend of mine said it's never late for anything. I guess she is right."
Chord said:
"Let me guess: Lea?"
"You are right Mr."
"So what now?"
"Well you said you love me and we kissed"
"I think I need to ask you a question."
Dianna laughed:
"I think so too."
"So Ms. Dianna Elise Agron will you go out with me?"
"It would be a honor. I love you."
"I love you too. And for your information I'm not leaving you or the family."
"I know. I finally get it."
They kissed again. Now they are both the happiest people on the planet.
