TUESDAY 3:00AM 23RD MAY 2012- CHRIS' BEDROOM

Chris was sat in bed vigerously typing on his laptop trying to finish the script for his new movie he is doing. he only had a couple of lines to do but he couldnt seem to get the right words onto the screen. they just didnt seem right,

ive had enough i will do the rest in the morning! he thought to himself as he closed the laptop and pulled the covers over his bare chest. he layed there for what seemed like forever thinking about everything that has happened over the past 5 years. he was Chris Colfer 2 time Emmy winning actor and writer, Golden Globe winner and Tony Award Winner. he had been on Glee then shortly after he had finished his last season he got a offer to go to London and star in a westend production of Billy Elliot. it was a once in a lifetime opotunity he wasnt sure about taking, it would mean moving away from family and friends, but those are the exact people who convinced him to go

"Chris please go, it means a lot to you, its your dream and were not going to hold you back. you will miss us and we will miss you so much but you need to do this. theres skype and we can talk on there. we can also talk on the phone, but it may cost a lot. we will work through the time zones and we will make it work. i love you and i want to make this happen. you have been the best brother ever and im going to be a good sister and not hold you back. it will be hard without you but i will be fine. you have been my rock and have been there for me through everything and thats not going to change. nothings going to change, you may be thousands of miles away physically, but mentally we are always with you wherever you are, and the same with us. im never getting rid of you and your never getting rid of go,persue your dreams and have fun, were always going to be here to support you. you need this. get out of this crappy country and see the world. enjoy it" was the advise he was given by his younger sister Hannah. he cried when she said that to him. he was so touched that everyone supported him as much as they did. so he went to London and was in Billy Elliot for 18 months, and now he was getting ready to move back home. in 2 days he would be on a flight back to California, seeing his family for the fist time since he moved to England. he was exited but scared, also sad. he was leaving behind a new life, on that consisted of new friends and a new job and he was going back to his old life. it would be a big change, a lot had already changed from him. for a start he hadnt spoken to any of his glee friends in over 2 years since he left America, was it going to go back to normal, was he going to start talking to people again? what were they doing? were they still living in LA? were they still in America? god, were they still alive? he hadnt spoken to any of them in ages, should he talk to them again? he wasnt even sure he wanted to, Chris left on rather bad terms. he wasnt fired, he quit. nobody knew why, exept Darren.

2 days before he told Ryan that he quit and stormed out of Paramount studios he had been speaking with Darren and he accidently let slip that he thought Darren was cute, Darren being who he is didnt let it go and kept nagging Chris about why he thought that. after 24 hours of being annoyed he snapped and told Darren that he was in love with him and had been since they met. they got into a huge argument Chris saying he couldnt be around Darren anymore feeling humiliated at what had just happened and Darren saying Chris couldnt leave and they would work through it. neither of them wanted anything to change but it did so Chris decided to tell Ryan he was leaving and run off crying. that was the last Darren saw of Chris. he ignored everbodys phone calls and only spoke to them to tell them he was moving to London. he felt guilty for not letting them know what had happened but most of all he was angry. angry that he quit his job because of something stupid he said, angry he left his friends behind and made them feel like it was there fault when it wasnt, it was all his fault and he felt horrible for making them feel that way. he would of spoken to them, honestly he would, but everytime he tried to it would always come back to 'why did you leave', 'what did we do wrong', 'Darren has been acting strange, he really misses you, we all do, what happened Chris?' and he had had enough so he just ignored them and didnt answer there emails, texts, calls or tweets. obviously he had to give some excuse to his family but by the time they found out he had already been offered the role on westend so he just told them that he couldnt carry on with Glee if he wanted to persue his dream, and they believed him. no one found out as all the crying was done behind closed doors. to be honest the only time he went out was if he needed to go to see his manager, he ordered takeout and made sure it came with diet coke so he didnt have to go to the grocery store. lucky he had a home gym otherwise he would of put on so much weight from all the takeout he was eating. then he moved to ondon and things started looking up for him. he made new friends and sometimes he could go a day without thinking about all the things he left behind. but there wasnt one day when he didnt think about Darren.

"Thats it!" he said as he sat up in bed and get his laptop he started slamming down on the keys knowing exactly what to type. after 10 minutes his new script was completed and he put his laptop away and tried to get to sleep.

WEDNESDAY 9:00PM 24TH MAY 2013- KOKO (NIGHTCLUB)

"Vodka and Redbull please" Darren said to the barmaid

"sure, you here all alone again sweetcheeks?" she said back to him as she was getting his drink

"yep, another night alone, but i got you to keep me company right?" he replied taking a sip on the drink she had placed infront of him and handing the money to her

"i sure am, so Dare, you cant keep sitting here 4 days a week thinking about him. its been 2 years, you need to get your life back on track and get back out there, there are plenty of men who want a piece of that fine man butt of yours" she said in a sarcastic tone

"please Katy, no one knows that im gay, i havent really told anyone but you yet!" he replied in a whisper

"well maybe if you told people he would come back, seriously now though Dare, your always moping about him and saying you love him, yet you're not doing anything about it, maybe if he knew you were actually gay he would come back and give you a chance"

"i know i need to tell people, and i know you are only saying this because you are my bestfriend and want to help me out. but i have tried to get in contact with him, but he has changed his phone number so i cant call or text him, i have emailed him numerous times and heard nothing back, i have called his manager and told them to ask him to call me god knows how many times but he never seems to get back to me. im giving up! i cant do this anymore, its like he's blocking me out of his life without even letting me talk to him first!"

"babe, you gotta think about how he feels, he probably feels like crap about that, he is trying to move on like you are, remember what you told me he said to you? he said 'lets forget this all happened' take his advise and do it, its been two years, get back on the market!"

"i suppose your right"

right at that moment Darrens phone started ringing...

"hello?... oh hi Lea... what? ... are you serious?... what the fuck?... okay i will see you on friday, we will all talk then... no i cant talk at the moment... please Lea?... bye" he hung up looking rather pale and nausiated.

"was that Lea?" Katy asked cautiously

"erm, yeah" he replied as he stared blankly infront of him

"what is it hunn? you can tell me"

"he's coming back." his voice no tone

"what?"

"Chris. he's coming back to LA on Thursday, and he's moving in with Lea..." as his voice trailed off he got up and left the club hailing a cab, getting in and telling them his adress. on his way home he started sobbing. he got out the cab and tossed the driver 20 dollars and ran up to his front door fumbling with the lock he ran in locked it behind him, launched himself to his bedroom and started crying. he couldnt remember how long he was crying before he finally fell asleep but it seemed like hours.

THURSDAY 3:00PM 25TH MAY 2013- LAX AIRPORT

Chris hastily picked up his luggage and walked towards the arrivals area to go meet lea after 2 years of not speaking to her.

(FLASHBACK WEDNESDAY 5:30AM 24TH MAY 2013- CHRIS' BEDROOM)

he picked up the phone after not being about to sleep deciding he should tell someone that he was coming home. he was suprised she had the same number that she used to have

"hello?" the groggy voice at the end of the line said

"erm, hi Lea, i dont know if you want to talk to me or even remember me but its Chris" he replied

"Chris?" she said, she couldnt concerntrate as someone had just woke her up at 5:30 am on tuesday, her day off.

"Chris Colfer, we worked together on Glee, i totally understand if you want to hang up considering i just woke you up at 5:30 after not talking to you for 2 years, we didnt really leave on good terms" he said, he heard nothing but snuffles he thought she had fallen asleep

"oh my god, Chris, ive missed you so much!" she said through broken sobs

"i know Lea ive missed you too, just please dont ask me why i left, not yet im not ready, but im coming back to LA on thurday, and i was wondering if you could do me a favor and book me into a hotel, we can speak properly then"

"what? your coming back to LA? i thought you loved England? and nonscence your not staying in a hotel, you can stay with me, i just broke up with Theo and im feeling kinda lonely, it will be nice, and we can catch up properly, i wont take no for an answer, but im going now because its my day off but text me your flight details and i will pick you up from the airport, im going now so you cant answer back, bye Chris ive missed you and i love you!" she said quickly but waited for a reply chuckling to herself whilst crying, happy te\ars of course, her best friend was coming home. and he is still her best friend even though what they have gone through.

"okay okay, i love you too and ive missed you too, im so sorry and i still want to be your friend, if you will let me"

"Chris your still my best friend and you always will be no matter whats happening, now go away im tiered!"

"okay, byee!"

"bye Chris, its great to hear from you."

"you too Lea" and then they hung up. Chris felt happy that at least one person didnt hate him.

(END OF FLASHBACK)

he was in no rush to get to where she was waiting for him, he was nervous, he didnt know what she was going to say or do but within a matter of seconds he forund himself walking round the corner into the arivals area drounded in masses of people. he quickly snapped out of his daydreaming and bolted his head up looking for is Lea.

"CHRIS!" he heard a squeel of exitement from infront of him and started rapidly looking for Lea, he finally set his eyes on her and smiled bigger than he had smiled in a long time. she was standing there in black skinny jeans, black ballet pumps, a grey oversized top with a black belt. her hair had grown alot in 2 years and it was now down by her waist. still the same colour but curly, i looked good. her brown eyes pooling with tears as she stared at him with a big grin. he started walking up to her and she just stood there still. not moving one bit of her body.

"hi, Lea" he said as he approached her. she didnt say anything just wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him tightly. he hugged back as he felt the warm sensation of her tears seeping through the material of his top.

"hey, why you crying silly, its only me." he said soothingly in her ear

"ive ...missed you so ...much Chris! its ...so good ...to... to see you" she whimpered back

"ive missed you too, but stop crying. we need to catch up! so take me somewhere, preferably to starbucks. i need coffee after that 12 hour flight!" he replied. Lea laughed at the kind of things he best friend would say and led him too her car where they drove to starbucks got coffee and went home, where they ordered chineese takeout and stayed up all night chatting about work, life, love and heartbreak. Chris didnt mention Darren though, he though she would find it awkward and it was a personal thing. something that should be kept between Chris and Darren. no one else needed to know. finally Chris fell asleep in his own bed so Lea got up and made her way to her own room setting her alarm as she got into bed. "its gunna be a long day tomorrow. people are arriving at 6:00am. i cant wait for Chris too see everyone again, right theyw ill be here at 6:30 in there pyjamas for a movie day. they have missed him so much and vice versa. its so exiting" were there thoughts that ran through her head as she fell into a deep sleep.

FRIDAY 4:30AM 26TH MAY 2013- DARREN'S BEDROOM

Darren had just woken up and was already paniking about what the day had in store for him "im going to see friends, no Darren, your going to see Chris! SHIT! why did you agree to this! you should of said no! your going to text Lea making an excuse why you cant go and then your going to spend the day in bed watching disney movies and eating crap! NO IM NOT! i cant let it get to me, i nee dot do this, for my sake and Chris'! we need to talk and sort things out. he needs to hear me out and to understand my feelings!" this ongoing battle between himself and himself went on for the next 30 minutes infront of the bathroom mirror where he came to the conclusion that he was going because he needed to see Chris. needed to see the one he loved. even if it was only for one last time. he needed to do it and to tell Chris his true feeling. so he jumped in the shower got out, dried off, sorted his hair, got dressed into some clean pyjamas and grabbed some coffee. sitting in his kitchen trying to calm himslef down telling himself not to be nervous and too relax. he looked at the clock 6:10am. "better get going" he muttered to himself whilst picking up his phone keys at wallet and leaving his house. he got into his car and slowly drove towards Lea's house. he stayed parked outside for what seemed like forever.

FRIDAY 6:00AM 26TH MAY 2013 LEA'S BEDROOM

her alarm went off to the sound of Adeles voice coming through the speakers at quite a loud volume, it startled her and quickly moved to turn it off when she remembered that Chris was a really deep sleeper and would sleep through nearly anything. she got up and walked into her kitchen and made some coffee. when she had finished her coffee she went and brushed her teeth and when she came back she looked at the time and grinned, 6:25. they would all be here soon. she started jumping silently with the exitement of her family being back together again. then she heard the door open and a few people started pilling in her house. everyone had keys to eachothers house and they knew they had to be quiet as they would all wake Chris up together. Lea rushed out to see who it was and was greeted with Mark, Dianna, Cory, Naya and Heather all standing in the hallway. they all exchanged hugs and hello's

"oh my god Lea! im so fucking exited!" Naya said in a hushed tone

"i know right im so exited too, he's still asleep so we need to be quiet, the others should be here soon, you want some coffee?"

they all nodded and agreed so they made there way to the kitchen and sat around the breakfast bar discussing what pyjamas they were wearing and how they were until they heard more people bundle into the house and make there way to the kitchen. it was Amber, Ashley, Kevin, Jenna, Harry. they all hugged again and were welcomed into Lea's house. they all made themselfs at home as they would always spend there time together. they would of gone to wake up Chris there and then but there was one person missing.

"hey wheres Darren?" Lea asked, to no-one in particular

"i dunno" mumbled Dianna from her seat on the couch next to Lea

"oh we saw his car outside but we thought he was already up here" Kevin replied back to Lea. they all crowded around the window it was still kinda dark outside but they could clearly see Darrens car.

"someone should go and get him" said Jenna

"no, i will just call him and tell him to gte his sorry ass up here so we can go scare the shit out of Chris" said Amber from her place next to Mark still standing by the window.

"no i will go get him its alright" said Lea getting her slippers on and leaving the house.

10 MINUTES EARLIER

Darren just watched Amber, Ashley, Kevin, Jenna and Harry enter Lea's house. he was now battling himself again on whether on not to go into the house when there was a tap on his car window and someone opened the door. it was Lea, she let herself in Darrens car, sat down and closed the door behind her. she could see something was wrong with Darren but didnt know what exactly it was.

"whats up hunnie? why arent you up there jusping on your best friend flailing over how you havent seen him for 2 years?" she said chuckling as she reached for one of Darrens hands which mere vigerously pubbing his knees to hold them still.

"best friend? i havent spoken to him in 2 years and we didnt really leave on good terms. i dont know what to call him" he replied

"it will be fine, once you see him it will go back to how it used to be"

"will it, because the way we left i dont seem to think it will"

"no one except you and Chris know why you havent spoken to him in 2 years. but you need to talk to him about it if its that bad, and at the moment he is asleep up in my spare bedroom waiting for all of us to go jump on him and wake him up so comeon lets go and get you some coffee" she started moving to get out the car but he stayed exactly where he was

"you still trying to pluck up the courage to come in sweetie?" she said sweetly to him as she took his hand once again

"im trying to pluck up the courage not to go in, i just dont know whats going to happen in there and it may not be pretty" he whispered the last part.

"oh come on dare, how bad can it be, lets just go in there and get him up and then we will see what happens. dont jump to conclusions." and with that she got out the car, walked around the side and pulled Darren out of the car and up to the house.

IN LEA'S HOUSE

everyone was sitting on couches or on the floor when they heard the door open and saw Lea and Darren come in,

"what took you so long man? actually i dont want to know. let get this show on the road!" cory said as they all got up and started to make their way up the stairs and towards the spare room where Chris what staying. as they all huddled around the door Lea took Darrens hand in hers held it tighly and gave him a reasuring smile.

"right after 3" Mark whispered

"3... 2... 1!" they all said together as they pushed the door open and ran into the room launching themselfs at the bed, shouting for Chris to wake up, Darren was the only one that wasnt on the bed, he was staning by the door leaning on the doorframe to stay away from any scenarios that may or may not happen, he didnt want to annoy Chris, especially when he has just woken up.

"what the hell... go away... need... sleep!" Chris grunted from where he had buryed himself under his duvet

"come on! seriously! you havent seen or spoken to us in 2 years and that the first thing to say! nice to see you too!" Naya said from where she was sitting near the middle of the bed

"what... wait... what the fuck are you doing here! i though it was Lea and her dogs! LEA! DID YOU DO THIS! " Chris said as he was getting up from under his duvet. everyone just sat there and smirked and Chris trying not to giggle at his grumpiness. then he stopped and looked around. they were still his friends, they didnt care what he had done over the past 2 years, they were the same people and they were there on his first proper day back home to see him. he looked at everyone and started crying. he looked at everyone except Darren whom he couldnt see as he was still leaning on the doorframe trying to stay out of the way. then everyone else started crying and hugging eachother, even the boys.

"right, we have to stop crying! we have arranged the living room so that its comfy for everyone and we can watch movies all day. i have cooked breakfast and we are ordering takeout for dinner. we are not moving off out arses all day so lets go eat food, watch movies and be lazy!" everyone cheered at the end of the statement that Lea made and piled out the room

"i will be out in a minute" Chris said to everyone as he started to get out of bed. and that when he saw it. the figure standing at his door was still standing there, hadnt moved, Chris hadnt even noticed earlier.

"oh, sorry i should... erm... yeah... i will..." Darren said not realising he was standing at staring at Chris.

"Darren..." Chris said in a whisper and trailed off. he got up and just stood there. the boys were standing at either side of the room just looking at eachother, staring, working out what parts of eachother had changes.

Chris had stayed relitivley the same except he was now a bit of a bigger build from all that working at the theatre and vigerous workouts. he stayed the same and he was still the same Chris that Darren knew 2 years ago.

Darren's hair had grown a bit longer than it was but it wasnt very long. it wasnt as big as it had been in AVPM but it was longer than it had been whilst he was on glee. he had stubble, but Chris didnt know if that was just because he wasnt working or if it was a permanant thing. he looked the same as Chris had always known him to look like and that was good. he didnt want him to change. he had fallen in love with Darren for the way he was and he was still the same guy he fell in love with. he was that guy he was still in love with.

"hi" was all Darren could say. Chris started walking towards him and motioned for Darren to close the door. when he had done so they were in touching distance from eachother.

"Chris before you say anything i have to ask. what happened to us?" Darren said

"us? i didnt realise there was an us Darren"

"of course there is an us Chris. you were my best friend for just less than a year and a half"

"yeah well that kind of went down the drain when... well... when i left"

"dont you mean when you told me you loved me" Darren reached for Chris' hands and Chris willingly let him take them

"i dont know what happened" Chris whispered slowly

"you freaked out thats what happened and i just want you to tell me why" Darren said back. Chris started to get angry and quickly pulled his hands away and stepped back

"i freaked out. seriously. have you got selective memory or something Darren because if i remember correctly i told you and we had a huge argument that lasted a day and a half. and then it didnt get properly sorted out. and why was that argument started, yes admittedly it started because i told you, but you went off on one Darren, you were the one who was screaming at me!"

"actually you were screaming at me too! seriously Chris, i thought after 2 years of not talking at all we would be able to come here and have a sensible conversation about what happened, not pick up exactly where we left off! shouting!"

"well im sorry if i cant drop things that easily Darren!"

"you know Chris, its been really hard for me! every day thinking about the things you said, the shit you called me. wondering why you didnt even try to contact me. or why you changed your mobile number so i couldnt contact you! i emailed you every day for the first year to try and get in contact with you and heard nothing! i called your manager and your PA to get to speak to you, they said they would get you to call me and guess what? you fucking didnt!"

"stop right there Darren! not a day goes by without me thinking about you and the way i hurt you! but remember there are two sides to every story and you hurt me too! i didnt reply to the emails because it hurt too much, i told people to stop giving me your messages because i couldnt speak to you i didnt know what to say and i changed my number without telling anyone! your not the only person i blocked out Darren! i couldnt stand the thought of hurting you so i tryed to block it away!" by this time they were both shouting at the top of their voices and everyone was gathered outside their door listening to the convosation.

"yeah well you know what? it hurt me more! and now you expect to come back here and flutter your fucking eyelashes and for all of us to come falling at your feet again? well its not happening! everyone else might, but not me! we had something Chris and that got ruined when you left!

"i didnt mean to fucking ruin it and im not expecting everyone to come falling back into my arms, i didnt even know you were all coming, and the only reason i called Lea was because i was up all night thinking about you! and if your not going to come falling back into my arms what are you doing here Darren? just come to shout and scream at me? make me feel worse for all the shit i put everyone through? well its not going to happen! you want to know why? because i cant feel any worse that what i have felt over the past two years! it has been hell pushing everyone away but i couldnt explain everything so i ran!" Chris started to cry though his shouts and screams

"yes you ran and left me to explain it to them and i havent! i havent told a single person except Katy! you left things broken and made me clean up the pieces! when you left everyone was so fucking devestated that Ryan called off work for 3 weeks. thats how long everyone was upsett and crying for and i saw everyone every single fucking day of those three weeks trying to put the pieces back to the things that you broke! and im here because i wanted to talk! doesnt seem like were at that level yet does it!" Darren started crying too

"i broke myself too. i didnt leave my appartment in London for 6 months! i cried myself to sleep every night for the most part of that! didnt you even think how all of this ruined me!"

"oh its all about Chris isnt it! poor little Chris! yes it broke you but what im trying to fucking say is that you cant just leave and expect every thing to be okay because it wasnt. it was a mess. we were a mess and all because of you!"

"get out Darren! just leave! your a fucking wanker you know that Darren! just get out!"

"oh whatever Chris! im going! all i was doing was trying to make it better by talking to you , but no it ending up with screaming again! are we ever going to talk like mature adults or are we going to be acting like hormonal teenagers for the rest of our fucking lifes!" and with that Darren opened the door and ran out the house. tears falling down his face as he went. when he opened the door he noticed everyone there but couldnt talk to them he had to go.

Chris just turned around and slammed the door in everyones faces then ran to the bed sobbing. tear stained cheeks hitting the pillow as he fell.

everyone was left speechless.
