As the director yelled cut, Lea and Cory separated and their hair and makeup stylists came in and fixed them up. They had been doing this scene for about 2 hours now and it was verging on 11pm. Everyone was getting a bit tired, except Lea.

'Okay kids, let's take it from the top and this time, it's the final time that we'll be doing this scene'

It was at this point in time that Lea knew what she had to do.

The two of them took their places on stage and the music began. They sang 'Pretending', and just like all the times before, it was perfect. Then it was time for the kiss, the part that Lea enjoyed the most. Singing and looking at each other intensely, they lent into each other and kissed. This time Lea put her heart and soul into that kiss. Everything she felt for Cory was expressed through her lips that were currently hardly pressed against his.

After they finished shooting the scene, Lea went and grabbed a bottle of water and sat down. She was stressing herself out a bit because her mind was going a million miles and hour. She wondered if Cory would notice a difference in the kiss and say something to her.

Lea was now back at her hotel room. Filming Glee in New York was a dream come true for her as it put two of her favourite things together. Tomorrow was there day off and she was excited to show her other cast members where she grew up.

As she went to unlock the hotel door she noticed that it was already unlocked. She opened the door and there sitting on the couch was her best friend, Jonathan.

'How on earth did you beat me here?'

'Oh, you know me... I have my secrets' he smiled at her and stood up.

'So, Lee... that kiss. Looked extra steamy from where I was sitting' Lea started to turn red.

'I- I have no Idea what you're talking about. It was just the same as the other 15 times that we did it. There's nothing going on between me & Cory at all!' she put her bag on the kitchen bench.

'Umm, I didn't say that there was something going on between you two. I know you are loyal and that you would never cheat on Theo. But I am your best friend and I know when you do something different. Even if it is just kissing someone with a bit more passion'

Lea breathed in and out loudly.

'I think I'm in love him, Jon. I really think I do. I mean, I do love Theo but I'm just not in love with him. I hardly ever get to see him because of Glee and when I get time off, I always want to see my family and not him.' Jon stood there with his mouth open and eyes widened.

I knew it! Oh Lea! How long did you think it would take for me to find this out, huh?'

'Oh please, Jon. Stop it! I'm so confused! I don't know what I'm going to do!' She started to breathe faster and faster. Jon sat her down and then sat next to her, putting his arm around her.

'Calm down Lee, you're starting to hyperventilate' He grabbed her hand and rubbed it. She was shaking uncontrollably.

'I- I'm sorry! I'm sorry I brought you into this horrible mess my heart has created' Tears were starting to well up in her brown eyes. Usually she was so strong but when she talked about her feelings for Cory, her walls just seemed to crumble down around her.

'Maybe I should tell Cory first and then tell Theo. He is coming to see me in a couple of weeks and that will give me some time to think of what I'll say to him'

Jonathan gave her a reassuring look then hugged her tightly and kissed her head.

'That sounds like a plan, babe'
