A/N: So this is my Mongron fic! Most people said they could get into this type of story and I aim to please so I hope I can follow through with what you all were expecting for.
This is basically based off of Cory and Dianna and therefore will obviously be somewhat factual. Whatever sounds like a real fact, most likely is one! Also, since this is my fic, a lot of it will be made up too. Starts around the time season 2 begins and Dianna Agron started dating her I Am Number Four co-star Alex Pettyfer.
I'm thinking this will take longer to update compared to my other stories because writing the C/D personalites will be more difficult than their characters, at least for me. Updates won't be super frequent but I will do my best. Please be patient with me.
I had a lot more stuff written down before I stupidly didn't save this before accidently clicking on a bookmarked page that brought me somewhere else and erasing everything I had. I'm pretty mad, not gonna lie.
Anyway, this was all I could remember from the better first version.
So I hope this is what everyone wants and will be happy with. Long first author's note EVER, I know.

It was two months today that Dianna had left for Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to film her first ever big movie. She had auditioned figuring she was a long shot but she loved the project and Cory knew that, once Dianna announced she was in love with a script or storyline, she would fight for it. Cory had been there when she got the call that she scored a main role in the film, I Am Number Four, and he planned on being there when she got back. Her return would be perfect.
Ever since the first day meeting her, he had juggled his feelings towards her. He wanted to stand for the, no dating your co-workers rule, but Dianna Agron made it so incredibly hard for him to live by that rule.
He still remembered the first time he saw her. He had just gotten out of his final call back for Glee in his auditioning phase.
"Could you hold that door please?" Cory heard a voice shout from a little further down the hall.
He looked up from the floor where he had been looking while he thought to see who was calling from the hallway.
"Sure." he simply agreed as he watched a girl run from the far end of the studio hallway towards his position, frozen at the double doors. In short, he was awestruck. This girl honestly had to have been the most beautiful girl he had ever seen in his entire life.
He felt kind of weird thinking about it; almost corny. His eyes never left her figure as she flew towards him. It was like she was running in slow motion even though she clearly wasn't because she seemed like she was running late.
Her hair was a long honey blonde color and she had pretty golden skin. She was wearing a dark floral patterned dress that fell just above her knees. As she grew closer, Cory noticed her eyes. They were a gorgeous hazel color. They even looked like they had a little splash of green. They were so beautiful that you could get lost in them like that stupid pick up line saying. He also noticed that she had the greatest smile ever. Why was he noticing all of this?
"Thank you so much!" she softly said a little out of breathe.
"Yeah, uh, no uh, no problem." he muttered nervously.
She gave him a quick smile before sliding through the door into the same room he had just come from. He figured she must have been auditioning.
'Wow, that girl was so… amazing.' he thought to himself. 'If she gets a part I totally have to make it onto this show!'
Yeah, it almost seemed like yesterday even though it obviously hadn't been. Ryan, Ian, Brad and the rest of the cast had already started pre-production of season 2. He couldn't believe how great of a first year they had and even more so that the show has had such success and all of its great fans.
They had such a fantastic cast and crew and they'd all become like a big family, and truthfully, even though fans would think the guy that played Finn would really date Lea who played Rachel, he never saw it that way, plus Lea was already dating her long term boyfriend Theo Stockman.
No, he always saw himself having possibilities with Dianna.
He figured everything out. Cory wanted there to be a real life Finn and Quinn. He deeply wanted there to be a Cory and Dianna.
Whenever a cast mate travelled and was coming in on a flight, another person from the cast would volunteer to pick them up at the airport. Obviously, Cory jumped at the chance to pick up Dianna and there wasn't a fight on who would pick her up either since it seemed that every other cast member minus Dianna knew Cory had feelings for her and they all supported him.
Everyone, especially Lea and Chris, thought Cory's feelings for Dianna were cute. They knew Cory was truly in love with the Di, or it seemed like that at least. They had known there was something there since the first day on set when they were reading through the pilot's script and Cory blushed, as in turned red, when he found out that his character was dating Dianna's character and they would have many kissing and couple-y scenes.
Now, after spending so much time together, Cory and Dianna had grown very close, even after Finn and Quinn's break up mid season 1, that's why Chris and Lea, who were immediately chosen to pick Dianna up, bowed out and let Cory take the reigns.
In the car on the way to LAX, Cory asked the resident Glee driver, Herbert, to stop by a florist to pick up Dianna some flowers as a welcome back gesture and hopefully, a sweet one.
He picked up some pink calla lilies; Dianna's favorite, and hopped back into the car.
All he could think about on the way there was how excited he was to see her and how much he missed her while she was gone. He couldn't wait to talk to her and hopefully, soon, have the possibility of telling her his feelings for her. He finally decided soon would be the right time.
Upon the black Cadillac Escalade pulling up to the private sector arrivals terminal in LAX, Herbert jumped out of the driver's seat and made his way to the other side to let Cory out. Even though Cory could easily let himself out of the car, it was like an unwritten rule in Hollywood that your driver or someone already waiting at the destination let you out of the car; definitely not normal but a perk of Hollywood.
Cory stood up from his seat and stepped out of the big SUV. He turned around before Herbert shut the door and grabbed the wrapped flowers off the seat.
"I'll be waiting a little further up in the parking lot since this is a no idle zone Mr. Monteith. There will be people inside to escort you and Ms. Agron out and back to the car after." Herbert told Cory and he pointed in the direction of a parking lot down from the terminal.
"Alright, sounds good Herb." Cory agreed as he turned and made his way towards the entrance to be met by another security person.
As soon as he started towards the entrance, he was swarmed by paparazzi but thankfully his security detail was there to make a path for him to the doors.
A few photographers noticed the flower package in the palm of Cory as they snapped their pictures that were sure to be in next week's People, Us, and Star magazines.
"Cory, Cory!" one of them shouted. "Who are you here to pick up?"
Cameras flashed and another asked, "What's the deal with the flowers?"
"Are they for a special someone?" questioned another camera flasher.
Cory didn't answer any questions but just gave earnest smiles instead.
He was annoyed if he was being honest. He loved where he was at in life right now; on a great show with a great cast and crew, living up a dream and meeting new and exciting people along the way, but at the same time, he wished he could have maintained anonymity like he used to have when he worked in Wal-Mart back in Vancouver before all this.
Thankfully the paparazzi couldn't follow him into the terminal. As he walked, calla lilies in hand, his nerves grew. He was nervous but extremely excited at the same time. He wasn't nervous because he was only picking up his cast mate, Dianna Agron, but he was nervous because he was picking up a girl that he really, really liked, and maybe even loved.
At the gate, he waited in a seat until he stood up to watch Dianna's and the rest of the I Am Number Four cast's jet, taxi so it could dock into the gate.
He smiled wide as the plane drew closer. Thankfully, he was the only person, besides some security guys in the waiting area. He would have been a little embarrassed pretty much giving Dianna flowers in front of the other cast's family and friends. Those people were all waiting in another part of the airport with the cars.
'Alright, here she comes.' he thought to himself as he blew off the rest of his nerves watching the sign behind the reception desk light up to indicate a docked plane.
He stood to the side and watched on as each cast member filed through the gate tunnel and out the gate door.
"Figures she's one of the last people off." he quietly said to himself as the last people strolled through the gate.
He saw the first sight of her in months as he noticed her pretty honey blonde hair from a distance. He was just about to raise the flowers in his hand and walk over to meet her when he took notice of another person walking closely along side of her.
Cory immediately knew from the stature of the second person that it was a guy.
As they drew closer, Cory took in his appearance. The other man was tall, not as tall as himself though; had short, styled blonde matching hair to Dianna's, and accompanying rugged stubble growing on his face.
It was then that Cory also saw exactly how close they were walking to one another. The guy had a duffle bag slung from his right hand and his arm around Dianna's shoulder on the left.
He watched as Dianna smiled to the blonde man and him smile in return.
Cory felt his heart sink that moment. He had never gone through heart break before and wasn't exactly sure what it felt like but right then, it felt like his heart had been run over by a train, then a monster truck, and then by a stampede of animals before it ripped into a million pieces. Yeah, it was a weird comparison but it was true.
Maybe that was how a heart felt when it breaks.
He quickly took evasive maneuvers and threw Dianna's favorite flowers that were weighing down his hand now into a nearby trash bin so he didn't look like an idiot giving flowers to a girl that clearly had someone else on her mind.
Who was this rugged tool?
Cory saw Dianna do a double take and stared at him for a split second before screaming, "Cory!" and running up to give him a hug.
"Hey Di!" he greeted as cheerfully as he could after what he just felt.
"So you're the one that's picking me up." she stated smiling.
"Um yep, I drew the short straw." he joked, shrugging, trying to lighten up the situation which earned a playful punch to the arm by Dianna.
"Hi." a voice chimed from behind Dianna.
Cory looked behind the girl he loved to find the other guy, the tool bag.
Dianna spun around and turned her attention away from Cory and towards the blonde guy behind her.
"Cory," she started. "I want you to meet someone." Dianna smiled while she grabbed onto the man's hand and pulled him closer to her.
"This is Alex." she told him sweetly.
"Alex Pettyfer. It's a pleasure." Alex introduced himself, sticking out a hand, his strong British accent powering through his speech.
Cory just stared at the guy he dubbed a 'tool' and didn't do anything. All he could think was, 'It isn't much of a pleasure for me.'
Dianna looked from Alex to Cory, waiting for him to reciprocate. Cory glanced to a now staring Dianna. It was his cue to say something… anything.
"Uh hey, Cory, Cory Monteith and… same." he finally got out trying not to sound harsh even though he knew it came out that way.
"Great well, Di here has told me so much about you and the rest of the Glee cast." Alex said, smiling like an idiot, in Cory's opinion.
Cory put on a fake smile and just nodded his head along. He wished he had known about this stupid British guy. He also hated the fact that he called her "Di." Only people closest to her called her that.
"So, shall we make our way to the car then?" Alex asked as he picked up his duffle bag from the ground and slung it over his shoulder.
"Yes absolutely." Dianna answered.
Cory fake smiled again and as they walked, Dianna came up next to him and whispered, "Sorry if you were just expecting me Cory but I thought it would be a fun idea if Alex came along and met everyone else."
"Yeah, that's a great idea." he lied. His heart was in no condition to make her feel bad along with him.
As soon as they got outside of the terminal, cameras started flashing at the sight of Dianna's hand in Alex's.
"Dianna! Who's the lucky man on your arm?"
"Dianna, is it over the movie that you and co-star Alex Pettyfer bonded?"
"Is this a new blossoming romance?"
"Cory, any thought on this couple? Do you support their romance?" a tall man with a camera and a TMZ hat on questioned him.
He wanted to answer back, "Hell no! Didn't you see me walking in with a god damn bouquet of flowers!" But instead he just put on his fake camera smile without a word.
He could already see the headlines in the next gossip magazine, Cory Monteith: Third Wheeling It!
They were almost out of the reaches of the flashes when a man shouted, "Cory, what happened to the flowers?"
Cory had to think quickly to answer this question since Dianna looked over to him curiously.
"Sorry, you must be mistaken. I never had any. Probably some other guy." he fibbed, even though it wasn't a good one because he earned weird, confused looks from the guy that asked the question.
"But I just-" the TMZ reporter began.
"Okay! Bye now!" Cory yelled behind him as he walked faster down the sidewalk and faster out of that situation.
"Flowers?" Dianna asked, wondering if Cory had gotten her flowers.
"No sorry." he said. "I have no idea what that guy is talking about. I would have gotten you some if you wanted them though Di." He tried to not act like the fool he was.
"Oh, okay." Dianna responded sadly. Well at least that's what it sounded like to him, but maybe it was just how he wanted to hear it.
Thankfully, their security detail successfully kept the paparazzi off them as they made their way farther down to the parking lot to meet Herbert.
When they got there, they were greeted by Herbert as he put Dianna's and Alex The Tool's bags in the back of the SUV.
"Nice flight?" Herbert asked Dianna.
"Yeah, I'd say it was pretty good." she answered while sweetly looking at Alex as he opened the door for her to climb in.
'Pfft.' Cory scoffed in his head. 'I could have opened the door too.'
For the whole ride back to the Paramount Lot, Cory sat in the row of seats behind the first row where Dianna and the stupid new dude sat and was forced to stare at the back of their heads in close proximity to one another.
Twenty torturous minutes later, they had finally arrived back in Hollywood.
Herb pulled into the cast and crew parking lot and like always, got out first to let them out. Dianna was helped out of the car by Alex while Herbert pulled the bags from the trunk. Cory stepped out shortly after.
Cory offered to carry Dianna's bag for her, to which she gratefully and sweetly agreed, much to the displeasure of her, what Cory liked to only know as, 'friend.' Alex immediately forgot his displeasure when Dianna grabbed onto his hand and laced her fingers through his, much to Cory's displeasure.
"Thanks a lot Herb." he solemnly said and shook Herbert's hand.
"No problem Mr. Monteith." Herbert returned.
As Cory was about to turn to walk away, Herbert added, "Listen, it won't last."
Cory looked at him curiously, not quite understanding.
Herbert could see Cory's dazed, bewildered look. "Ms. Agron and Mr. Pettyfer." he cleared up. "Their relationship won't last, and sometime in the future, I'd be honored to drive you back to the florist to get her some more flowers." he finished smiling since he knew Cory was having a bad day now.
Cory looked down and softly smiled his lopsided smile to himself and breathed a small, thankful laugh. "Thanks Herb, I'd like that."
He started to turn away when he stopped himself. "And Herb, you can call me Cory from now on if you want." he insisted to Herbert with thankfulness in his voice.
"Will do." Herbert simply responded before tipping his hat and returning to the driver's side of the car.
Cory walked a little faster than normal to catch up to the couple ahead of him so he was walking along the side of his favorite girl.
"So everyone else is waiting in the dance studio since Zach wanted to show us his ideas for the premiere episode of season 2." Cory told Dianna. She nodded her head but Alex looked confused. 'What an idiot.' Cory thought of the man.
He figured he should explain to the slow blonde. "Zach Woodlee is one of Glee's choreographers. He wants to make a dance number to that song, 'Empire State of Mind' by Jay-Z and Alicia Keys. We were waiting until you got back Di." he finished looking to Dianna.
"Oh that sounds quite nice." Alex interjected, causing Cory's attention to go from Dianna to the Brit.
Cory simply quirked an eyebrow and merely produced a yet another annoyed smile to the man. God, he even hated the sound of his stupid British voice, especially when it interrupted his time with the girl he was into.
"Yeah, it's right up this way Alex." Dianna informed him as she pulled him along side of her towards the dance studio.
"We should probably drop of your bags first Di, don't you think?" Cory told her with a laugh at how clearly excited she was to see the rest of her Glee family.
"Riiight." She drawled as she giggled.
Cory loved to hear her laugh. It made him smile.
When they made it to her trailer, Dianna pulled out her key and opened the door to practically throw her's and Alex's stuff into the camper.
This simple action made Cory even more upset since it clued him in on the fact that Alex would be staying with her in her own trailer instead of the trailer they usually had for other people like the guest stars they heard that they'd have this season.
Some short minutes later, they were at the front door of the studio. Before going in, Alex wrapped his left arm around Dianna's slender waist which made Cory want to gag and punch him in the face. He looked away and shook it off to open the door.
They walked through the door, Cory in front leading the way. After the walk down the main hall, all three entered the rehearsal room. They were greeted to, at first, smiles, then shocked faces as Cory walked over to the rest of the group and faced Dianna and Alex.
None of the other cast members said a word. Lea and Chris both stood wide eyed as they, along with everyone else, stared, then they shared worried glances to each other, then to Cory who had pushed himself farther into the corner of the room, seemingly trying to melt himself into the wall. Lea's heart immediately plummeted into her stomach while she thought of how upset Cory must be.
"Wow, tough room." Alex quietly whispered to Dianna.
Yay! Chapter numero uno is done! There will be plenty more coming. Tell me what you think of it please. To me, it's a little harder writing Mongron than Fuinn so reviews letting me know how I did are much appreciated.
Sorry it's been a while since I wrote anything. I was really busy with end of the year stuff like graduation but I'm done now and kickin' it back for summer so I'll have plenty of time to write! Thanks again for reading :)
Lastly, I just wanted people to know that I guess we aren't supposed to write about non-fictional characters and I'm risking removal of this story and/or suspension of my account to make my readers happy, so be happy! haha
