Chapter 7
It's been 2 months since we started shooting Glee. Di and I have become sisters basically. We know everything about each other. I have become best friends with all the cast. Cory has become my closest friend besides Di and Jon. He's like my big brother. Theo and I are still together and he came out once to visit a few weeks ago and was suppose to stay 5 days but he left the third night because he said he needed to go home for something but he didn't say what. I didn't bother asking I just let him go. I don't know how much longer our relationship will last but I'm starting to think not very long. I didn't want to think about Theo anymore. You know I've been wondering where Dianna has been today. It's almost like she's been avoiding me. So I went downstairs to look for her and saw her purse on the counter. She must have been in the bathroom. I went over to her purse and saw something shoved under it. I pulled It out from underneath the purse and it was a magazine. I read the front cover and screamed. It said "Broadway star Theo Stalkman looks to have a new girlfriend. Turn to page 90 to see more." I turned to page 90 and saw a picture of him making out with some blonde bimbo. I screamed again and fell on the floor. Dianna came running out of the bathroom and saw I had seen the magazine and came running to my side.
"Lea I'm so sorry."
I just cried and ran upstairs. I picked up my phone and called Theo. He picked up after 3 rings.
"Hello" he said
I screamed into the phone "WE'RE OVER" at this point I was sobbing and hung up. He didn't even try and call me back and explain himself. I knew something was going on lately. I whipped open my door and ran down the hallway. I ran out the front door. It was pooring rain and I started sprinting down the street still sobbing. I went to the only person I knew I could talk to right now. I ran up the drive way and up the porch. I knocked on the door and then fell to my knees and started uncontrollably sobbing. After a few seconds someone opened the door.
"Lea, oh my gosh are you alright." Cory said dropping to his knees right next to me. I couldn't even bring myself to explain what happened, I couldn't feel even more pain then I'm feeling right now. I got up and ran into the front yard. I sat down on the yard and brought my knees up to my chest. I was still sobbing violently. Cory ran over to my side and put me on his lap. He hugged me and rubbed my back, while we sat on his front yard in the pooring rain. He whispered something into my ear but I couldn't hear what he said because my sobs and the rain was so loud. He picked me up bridal style and brought me inside. He sat me on the couch and left the room for a minuet. He came back with some towels. He wrapped the towels
around me and held me again. Rubbing my back he said
"Lea, sweetie what's wrong."
All I could manage to say was "Theo" and then I broke down.
Cory looked at me and I could tell he knew what I meant just by saying Theo's name. That's why I loved Cory. He knew me so well and always knew what I was thinking. He just continued rubbing my back and whispering happy things in my ear like calling me Princess and saying no guy in the world deserves me. I finally controlled my sobbing.
"Cory I'm so sorry to come over here so late at night and I'm sorry I made you sit in the rain. I should go home now."
"Princess are you crazy. Don't feel bad. I'm glad you came to me. Lea you mean the world to me and I would do anything for you. I'm glad you came to me. I'm not allowing you to go home, you're staying here with me tonight and I will take care of you."
He wiped the tears off my cheeks with his thumbs and then kissed the the top of my head. He walked into the kitchen and then a few minuets later he walked back out holding two mugs. He handed me one.
"Here have some hot chocolate" he said. He got a blanket and put it around the both of us and put on my favorite movie Funny Girl. I fell asleep in his arms that night, and it was the best night sleep I have gotten since I've been in California.
I woke up the next morning in his arms and stared up at his beautiful face. I removed his arms from around me and got up to go to the bathroom. I cleaned up my face and went pee. I came back out and he was awake.
"Good Morning Lea"
"Morning Cor, ummm Cory do you mind if I borrow some dry clothes, mine are still soaked from last night."
"Yeah sure follow me."
He took me up the stairs and into his bedroom. He went into his closet and took out an old tee shirt and some sweatpants.
"Here ya go." He said handing them to me.
When I went to grab the clothes our hands touched and I felt a spark when our hands collided. I quickly took the clothes and went to the bathroom and changed. When I came back out, he was no longer in his room. He must have gone downstairs. It was still raining pretty hard and the thunder was louder than before. I could hear the rain hitting the top of the house and saw it out the window. As I was walking down the stairs to go find Cory, the power went out.
"Cory" I screamed
I could hear him running towards me. He ran up the stairs and came over to my side.
"Shhhh Lea it's ok." He whispered in my ear.
He carried me down the stairs and we sat on the couch. He lite a few candles and brought me a flashlight.
"Thank you Cory, for everything. I came here last night because you were the only person I wanted to talk to. I didn't even think about talking to Dianna. I just ran straight out the front door. I came to the place where I knew I would be most safe, where I wouldn't be hurt anymore than I was. I couldn't be in my house. I have to many pictures of Theo and I. And that magazine." I said tearing up. "Knowing that magazine was in my house I wanted to jump out a window."
Cory took his thumbs and wiped my tears off my cheeks.
"Shhhh Lea. I'm glad you came here. I'm glad you feel safe here. I am here anytime you need me. Night or day. You can tell me anything. I'm always here for you. We can talk now if you want or we can talk later. Just know that you can tell me anything."
I started crying but it's almost like they were happy tears. He was just such a perfect person.
"Cory" I said
"Yes"
"Kiss me"
