Lea was in front of the guy she was with for two years and wondered why they were together. It all started before the tour, they were shooting the last scenes for the last episode, in which Finn and Rachel back together at last and Finn wrote to her a song perfect for the situation. But somehow Lea felt that the song was not just for Rachel.
Certainly in the interviews had never denied that they felt nice and then they had a great chemistry, Cory made her laugh and that was all for her.
The scene that was more upset for her, was been the finale in which Rachel tells Finn that when all this will end she goes to New York and he said that the graduation is still missing a year and they can be together.
And in that part Lea had felt close to Cory, he had thought about what would happen next Glee. From meeting every day to not seeing hardly ever. Her dreams were big, she wanted to return to Broadway because she knew it that was there where she really belonged. But what would happen with Cory?
She had spent the whole tour to think about it. And when she tried not to think about it he did something, even one of his fabulous smile and she fell into that vortex of questions.
Now they were in New York and then London and Dublin were waiting for them. Lea was super excited for this tour. But she was also happy to spend time with her friends.
That night Theo had made her a surprise, he was presented by her and took her out to dinner. They were opposite each other, but she did not know what to say.
"So how's the tour? Are you enjoying yourself? "He said.
She was distracted it took a while to answer "yes yes. So much. I can not wait to go to Europe"
"I'm happy for you." He said and smiled. But she did not understand why she could no longer feel the same things for Theo. Yes, she loved him. But not like before. She could no longer consider him more than a friend?
"Hey Lea, are you okay?" She awakened from those thoughts, "Huh? Yes, sorry. I am a bit tired." He did not believe her, he knew there was something wrong with her "Sure?" "Yeah" She tried to smile at him.
The dinner continued in monosyllables, when they left the restaurant, Theo took her back to the hotel, because there was Dianna. And Lea needed to talk with her best friend.
"Thanks," she said quickly and greeted him with a kiss die and she disappear behind the entry door of the hotel and leave him very confused.
Impatient to wait for the elevator, Lea went upstairs and came almost running to Dianna's room on the third floor out of breath. He knocked quickly and insist. Dianna opened the door yawning.
"Oh, but what time is it? I woke you up. I'm sorry." Lea said to her friend begging for pity.
"No, I fell asleep quite recently. The guys have just left. Come in. How did it go by your parents?" Dianna asked smiling at her friend.
Lea was always close to her in recent years, especially during the breakup with Alex and she was the only one who knew how things were going really. Lea sat down on the couch. She took a pillow and hugged it. Dianna sat next to her.
"Hey Lea what's up?" Said Dianna putting a hand on the shoulder of Lea, to comfort her. Lea tried to swallow the lump in the throat. And she started talking to her friend telling her of the evening. Then she paused.
"Cory had something to do about this?" Said Dianna without thinking twice. Lea looked at her friend, but she wasn't surprised that much, after all, Di always knew everything about her. "Do you want to know how I know?" she said smiling. Lea nodded.
"You think I'm so blind? That, I have not seen your scenes, in the last episode? And he was not just acting, you could see a mile away. Even the fans saw that." she smiled at her "Lea that Cory is attracted to you is nothing new. That you two love each other is nothing new. But are you sure that you don't love Theo anymore?" Dianna asked this time serious and concerned about her friend. "I do not know," said Lea safe. "I don't even know if what I feel for Cory is real." Dianna interrupted her immediately "No! Trust me, something you feel for Cory, and you are not influenced by your character. I have seen. And if Cory was influenced by his character you would not be the only one to be treated that way."
"Can I stay and sleep here tonight?" asked Lea. She did not want to be alone and Jonathan was from his parents. "Of course. We can also stay and talk all night. "Dianna suggested. But in the end they started lying on the bed and Lea fell asleep from exhaustion caused by all the emotions of the day.
Meanwhile, Cory was in his hotel room with Mark, Kevin, Chord and Harry. "But you saw today Lea on stage? How she was happy to be here in NYC?" Kevin spoke with a smile. They had sang together Empire State of Mind. Cory lost his breath when he heard the name of Lea. First he had called to her house to know if she wanted to come to the hotel because they were all in Dianna's room, but her mother told him that she was out with Theo. Cory didn't hate Theo, but he was jealous. It was not a secret to the others that he felt something for Lea, except for Lea. He tried to deflect the answer when he was interviewed about their "presumed relationship", but every time someone called the name of Lea, he smiled.
But she was with Theo. She loved Theo. And he could not do anything but being close to her on the set. He could hold on to this. Mark looked at his friend, he knew what he was thinking "Earth to Cory," Mark said with a laugh. Cory woke up and looked at his friend "What?" "Where was your head? In the planet of Lea?" Cory looked at him wrong "You are very funny this evening" "Thank you, I know"said Mark proud of himself.
"Come on man, we know that you have a crush for Lea." broke in Chord. And Cory simply smiled, he wanted to leave before they started another speech from "seizes the moment" so he invented the most banal excuse in all world. "I am going to bed that I'm dead tired, and tomorrow we have rehearsals soon." And before they could respond, he was already in his room locked. To avoid some stupid joke from Mark or Kevin. He lay on the bed staring at the ceiling and thinking about Lea. And all their time on the tour. Until he fell asleep.
