How to Love
Summary: Monchele Fic- Not knowing about her and Theo's breakup, a coincidence brings Cory and Lea finally together. ONE-SHOT
Disclaimer: How to Love belongs to Lil Wayne, but I LOVE THIS SONG3 (There's a little change to the lyrics to fit the plotline, which belongs to Megan & Liz)
A/N: This's my first ff and it might suck, but I hope I've read enough to write one. This one's for my beta/freshman/one of my best friends Meg (MegaOwl) for just bein epic and stuff, like sharing obsessions over Glee, Team Starkid, Darren Criss, and other things. 3

Damn, learning how to play guitar is a bitch. I can never learn the frets and it kills me that I didn't learn how to play it before. The drums are easy to learn, but there's nothing to really memorize with that. Mark's been giving me lessons, and I'm trying but it's hard as hell to do. I'm trying to learn a song, one I could sing to a certain girl I know one day, once her boyfriend's out of the way. Seeing Lea almost every day of the week makes me feel like the happiest man in the world. Everytime she sees me, she has the biggest smile on her face, which makes me go weak at the knees. I know it sounds cheesy, even for a guy. Sure, I've had tons of girlfriends before, but none of them made me feel the way Lea does. It's hard to find a girl these days who likes you for you, and she does. I'm trying to be the best guy friend to her now, so eventually when Theo's out of the way, I can help her and hopefully, fill his shoes for her. Well, that won't be for a while, considering her and Theo are very much "in love with each other" and it looks like they're not gonna break up anytime soon.

I woke up today, got a cup of coffee, and grabbed my guitar, getting a head start on learning this song. I went on YouTube and watched how to play this song on the guitar. And sure enough, this helped more than having someone teach you. 2 hours later, I finally got the song down. Thank god. I started playing it a thousand times so I can perfect it, so when I play it for Lea, it's perfection. I decide to go get something to eat, and then it hit me. I don't know the lyrics to this song, dammit. I go and listen to the song for an hour, and THEN go and get something to eat. Then, it happened. I'm in my room, grabbing my car keys, and I hear a knock at my door. I go open it to find the worst sight I've ever seen. Lea, standing in front of me, crying her eyes out. I know exactly what happened, without even asking her. I immediately hug her, putting my head down towards her. God, seeing her cry makes me wanna scream. She's too beautiful for anyone to hurt her, and right now, I just wanna find Theo and punch him right in his douchebag face. I just decide to ask. "What did Theo do to you?" I look down at her and wipe her tears. She looks up to me, tears falling from her eyes more. "He said 'I can't be in a long distance relationship anymore.' That 'we should break it off before you barely see me anymore' and he hung up." I wipe her tears again, probably about to cry myself. I can't stand him for doing this to her. I just wanna find his ass and just beat the crap out of him. "He broke up with you over the phone? What a douche move." I hug her, when I whisper in her ear "He never deserved you anyway." She looks up at me, attempting to smile. "Thanks Cory." She hugs me again. "Do you mind if I stay here for a couple days? Just until I get my stuff out of Theo's apartment?" Of course you can beautiful I say in my head. "Sure…I mean I only got one bed but I can probably pull out my old blowup mattress for you." Or maybe you'll see how I feel about you by then. God I gotta stop doing that. "I'll be right back ok?" She tells me. "I gotta get something out of my car." She walks out my apartment, and I grab my guitar. This is the perfect moment to try to woo her. I practice a couple times, until she comes in, when I stop singing and I just play. "Cory, you play guitar now?" She closes the door and walks up to me. "When did this happen?" I laugh. "I just started learning. Wanna hear a song?" I ask her. Her face glows up, for the first time today. "Sure. I'd love to" She says. I tell her to come sit next to me, and then I start to play.
Cut the music up
A lil' louder
You had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heart
Never really had luck, couldn't never figure out
How to love, how to love
You had a lot of moments that didn't last forever
Now you in the corner tryna put it together
How to love, how to love
For a second you were here, now you over there
It's hard not to stare, the way you moving your body
Like you never had a love, never had love
When you was just a young'un, your looks were so precious
But now your grown up, so fly it's like a blessing
But you can't have a man look at you for 5 seconds
Without you being insecure
You never credit yourself so when you got older
It's feels like you came back 10 times over
Now you're sitting here in this damn corner
Looking through all your thoughts and looking over your shoulder
See you had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heart
Never really had luck, couldn't never figure out
How to love, how to love
See you had a lot of moments that didn't last forever
Now you in this corner tryna put it together
How to love, how to love
I look deep into her eyes. I can see her looking into mine, hopefully the same way I look at her. God she's so beautiful. I just hope she feels the same way for me as I do for her.
For a second you were here, now you over there
it's hard not to stare, the way you moving your body
like you never had a love, had a love
Ooohh, you had a lot of dreams that transform to visions
The fact that you saw the world affected all your decisions
But it wasn't your fault, wasn't in your intentions
To be the one here talking to me, be the one listening
But I admire you I just wish you were listening
Capture all of the moments that we've been missing
Baby, so don't be mad, nobody else trippin'
you see a lot of crooks and the crooks still crook
You see you had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heart
Never really had luck, couldn't never figure out
How to love, how to love
See you had a lot of moments that didn't last forever
Now you in this corner tryna put it together
How to love, how to love
Ooohh, see I just want you to know
That you deserve the best
You're beautiful
You're beautiful
Yeahh
I stare right at her when I say that, and I can see her blush and smile. God I love her smile, it makes me smile back at her. I'm just dying for her to realize how much I love her and want to be with her.
And I want you to know
You're far from the usual
Far from the usual
You see you had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heart
Never really had luck, couldn't never figure out
How to love, how to love
See you had a lot of moments that didn't last forever
Now you in this corner tryna put it together
How to love, how to love
See you had a lot of crooks tryna steal your heart
Never really had luck, couldn't never figure out
How to love, how to love
Yeahh, see you had a lot of moments that didn't last forever
Now you in this corner tryna put it together
How to love, how to love
I look right into her eyes once I was done. Her eyes told me
what she couldn't at the moment: "I love you too." I move my
guitar off of my lap, then I pull her over to me. Then I
whisper in her ear. "I'll teach you how to love." I smiled and
she put her hand on my stubbly cheeks. I leaned into her
uber-beautiful face and her lips met mine. God it feels like
magic. I can't…I can't even describe how this feels. It's just,
perfection. We kiss for what seems like minutes, until she
pulls away. "What's wrong?" I ask her. God I hope she's not
having second thoughts. I love her too much for give up on
her. She looks up at me, with tears in her eyes. "Cory, I… I…"
She stops and looks up at me, while I wipe her tears. She
puts her arms around my neck and she kisses me. "…I love
you." Those three words light up my face. I put my hand on
her soft cheek and I look deep into her eyes. "I love you too
Lea." Damn, I've been waiting for the moment to tell her that
for years, and now I really said it. God, my life's turning out
perfect right now. I take her into my arms, still able to smell
the perfume she wore yesterday (Dior, by the way), and I
whisper to her "I always have, and I always will." She moves
her head away from my side and she crashes her lips onto
mine. We passionately kiss for around an hour on my couch
and then I move her to my bed. Goddamn, this is so perfect.
She starts to kiss my neck, at the spot that she just found out
is my favorite, while I stare at my ceiling, whispering to
myself "Thank you Grilled Cheesus." Apparently she heard
me and started laughing. I look over to her, and then I start
thinking. After 3 years of knowing this perfect angel, she's
FINALLY mine. I won and Theo lost, like I always knew it
would. Who would've thought trying something new would
get you the girl of your dreams?
