Authors Note: I hope yall enjoyed the first chapter! This chapter is a bit short but don't worry the next couple chapters are longer. Let's see how Cory deals with what happened as he gets some visits from family and friends. And please leave reviews and comments!
Over the corse of a couple days, the only thing Cory did was cry, talk to Lea hoping somehow she could understand him, and pace back and forth in the hospital room. Several people such as, Mr. and Mrs. Sarfati, his band mates, and a couple friends had come by to visit. It was the third day she was in the hospital and he hadn't been eating much because he was too busy focusing and thinking about Lea.
"Cory?" a woman said knocking on the door.
"Edith, hi, um I didn't know you were coming today. It's great to see you though. I know Lea would want you to be here."
"Thanks Cory. How are you holding up?" She said while pulling a chair over next to him.
"Well, I've been better. Honestly, I'm still trying to process what happened. It's all just becoming so real to me. I just wished I would have gone with her to the store or some how not had her gone," Cory said as he began getting choked up, "If I would have even had her go another day, we wouldn't be in this mess. It's my fault she's here!" tears then began rolling don his face.
"Cory, it is not your fault! Neither you nor Lea knew this was going to happen. There was no way you could have prevented it." Edith said when she placed a hand on Cory's shoulder.
Cory just sat there listening to her as she continued; "I just want you to know that I don't blame you for what happened. It's not your fault. The one who is at fault is the driver who hit her."
They both sat there in silence looking at Lea. They were hoping that Lea would wake up soon and that hopefully little or no brain damage would be done.

It had been a couple hours since Edith left and Cory had fallen asleep in the chair. After all it had been a couple of rough days. He loved how their family and friends had been coming to visit Lea and also Cory. Some brought meals for Cory, but he want eating them due to his lose of appetite.
Cory suddenly woke to a sudden knock on the door. Cory turned his head to see who was here. Turns out it was Jonathon. Jonathon met Lea when they were in Spring Awakening together. They had become best friends and still were to this day. He had always been there for Lea, as well as Cory. Lea and Jon were like sister and brother. They always had each other's backs.
"Hey there Cory. Sorry to wake you. Can I come in?" asked Jon.
"Yeah, of course man." Cory said while sitting up from his nap.
"How she doing?"
"Well, nothing has changed so far. She's still unconscious and hasn't been moving, other than the machine that's breathing for her."
"I'm sorry Cory. I was hoping there would be new news."
"The doctors say that she could be in this state for weeks. We are all just hoping it would be sooner and that there will be no brain damage."
"Cory, I here if you need me. Please, if you ever want to get out of the hospital for a couple hours, I will come and stay here for a while."
"Thanks Jon! That really means a lot! I appreciate it."
"No problem! It would be nice to hang out with my little sister a little, even in this sense. Hey, would you mind if I could talk to Lea a little bit."
"Yeah, of course man." Cory said as he stood up and walked out the door.
"Hey Lea. I know you can hear me in there. I just wanna say that you better wake up soon, because I need someone to shop with again! It has been terrible without you! I also met this guy and I need you opinion of him. Lea I don't know if you getting the message or not but I'm in crisis mode here! So I would really appreciate it if you woke up soon!" Jon said in a cheerful way.
After about 15 minutes Jon walked outside to get Cory.
"Thanks for letting me speak to her. I know she can understand us! Oh, and Cory, if you need anything, an I mean anything at all, please call me!" Jon said.
"Okay thanks Jon. Will I be seeing you again soon?" Cory asked.
"Well depending on how my date goes tonight. I will keep you posted!" Jon teased.
"Sounds good. Have a nice night." Cory said as Jon began walking away.
Cory walked back in the room and sat down in his chair. He really appreciated people coming to see Lea. It was a good way to keep her involved with her friends and their lives even if she wasn't responding. He quickly dosed off into another one if his naps.
