I am really hoping that you are still into this story. I am so sorry if my story isn't going so well and I think it's a sign for me to end this. Should I? Please drop reviews because I may change my mind.

"…. Well, wait! Let's check it out! No, you've gotta be kidding me! You know I hate those who are fooling me. Oh, wait no! No, this is not happening. No! Oh gee, Ryan! Look, everyone! Take a look at iTunes Charts! See the most downloaded songs." I was screaming at the top of my lungs when I checked out the iTunes Charts. My manager just told me that 'Don't Stop Believing' is now number one on iTunes! At first, I couldn't afford to believe her. Angela is sometimes a joker and she can easily fool anyone. But I just couldn't help but feel so curious so I looked and yes! It was definitely true! I checked my twitter and yes, it even trended. I was also happy that I got fans claiming that they ship me and Finchel which almost made my heart melted due to the happiness. I just couldn't believe that millions of people of everywhere downloaded it!

"Lea! Good! Everyone, Don't Stop Believing is Number One on iTunes!" Dianna frantically screamed almost dropping herself onto the newly polished floor.

"Whoa! Congratulations, everybody! Great Job!" Ryan said as he paces back and forth facing us. "But Mark, Dianna, we're going to film the scene again because Lea can be seen at the back." Ryan laughed easily as if nothing happened. If there would be no good news, I would have probably got a slap from him.

"Ooops, Sorry!" I headed to my trailer so I can scream there and jump without disturbing anyone. I looked for Angela but she was nowhere to be found. I have checked every trailer room for the girls and even for the boys but she's not there. I am starting to wonder where she is because she's always on my trailer arranging some stuff.

"Hey, Lea." A man said. I practically jumped a bit because the voice was so soft that it gave me a shiver. I was so surprised that it was Cory. Since I came here at work, I didn't talk to him or do the stuff we used to. I need to stay a bit away from him. It is not good for me and for him, who's probably doing the same. I thought. But he's calling me now and it would be very unethical if I would ignore him.

"Oh, hey. Uh.. Cory, w-what are you doing here? You scared me!"

"Oh. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. It's just because you are so tiny."

"Me? Tiny? Well, I guess you are right." We both laughed

"I was just about to tell you that Angela left along with my manager."

"Oh. Do you know why?"

"I don't know exactly but I think they are arranging our schedule for an interview."

"Interview?" I asked with a confused look.

"I don't know… maybe it's some sort of like that."

"Oh. Okay, thank you." I started walking towards my trailer hoping that he doesn't notice how much I am avoiding him.

"Hey, Lea wait! Let me congratulate you, our song is number one! Can I have a hug? The Canada Experience isn't enough." When Cory told that I automatically hugged him tightly as if we were on the airport that we've never seen each other for many years. He held me as he kisses my cheek making me giggle. The Canada Experience was really memorable and I consider it as one of my best trip besides the fact that I'm with Cory. But it's too short. I only stayed there for three days because I opted to arrange my past Broadway Stuffs in New York. Hugging him was one of the best things that happened this day.

"Lea, I think I should go. I have to film a scene."

"Oh. Okay, Guess I'll see you later?"

"Sure!" I beamed as I watch him walk towards the hallway.

xxxxx..

Few hours had passed until it was already past 1:30 in the morning. The director decided to finish filming the episode so we had consumed a lot of time. It was also few hours after Cory and I chatted. After filming, I packed my things quickly and run to the parking lot so I can go home already.

I was busy doing something on my phone. Obviously, tweeting something when a light striked me as a car stopped me. Again, it was Cory.

"Lea?"

I literally felt my blood run up causing me to gasp as I tried my best to stop it for him not hear it. "Oh yeah, uh- Cory, yes.. i-it's me, This is me, Lea."

"Oh, sorry." His apologetic voice once again gave me a shiver but I really need to go home or Angela would kill me.

" No, uh.. it's okay. I-I have to go now. Uh- t-there might be a traffic. Bye!" I hurriedly spoke.

"W-w-wait.. Wait.. Where's your driver?"

"Oh. He's not around. He's.. on a vacation. Uh, I don't know about Angela."

"Okay, hold on a second. I'm going to get you home." Cory get off from his car as he quickly held my hand, his eyes instructing me to go inside his car.

"No. Oh, I-I mean. I can drive myself home. I'm good."

"Come on, don't be silly. I saw you driving once. And you are having a hard time. If I let you drive yourself you might get hurt or worse you might get into an accident. Now come on."

"Cory-"

"I have a perfect idea! Come on! I can't wait!"

"Idea? Wait, where are you taking me? I need to go home! Besides, paparazzos are everywhere."

"Ride and you'll see."

"Is this safe?"

"Come on, I'll never get you into a trouble."

I sighed exuberantly but I didn't expect I agreed. I heard Cory giggled as I pretended to look something out of the window so I can hide from smiling. After a while, we drove off together as he keeps talking about the previous stuffs.

It didn't take a while for him to stop the car.

"Lea, we are here."

"Where are we?" I asked as I looked around, trying to see the place we are.

He first get off from his car and opened the door as he reaches out his bare and cold hands to me. "We are in my apartment." He pronounced

I get off from the car as I happen to admire his apartment. His apartment was really huge. The gates were high class and it was obviously expensive. I looked down as I notice that his floor was made up of marmol, creating a beautiful illusion of the Beige color of his gate.

"Follow me." Cory said not releasing his hands from mine. I simply followed him as I was captivated by the beauty of his apartment. At first, it was really dark and it frightened me. Finally, Cory opened up the lights.

"This is my house, my apartment actually. Come here, uh. Enjoy and relax. Um… Lea can you wait me? I'm just going to cook our dinner. I got many movies here."

"Oh no, uh… I'm going to help you. What are you going to cook? I can be an assistant. Well uh, except for getting the ingredients on your cabinet. You know I can't reach it."

"I don't think so. I am going to cook my Canadian Specialty and for sure, you don't know this." I quietly laughed due to the reason that it seems he has planned this. I sat on his couch as I stare his house. The lights are just perfect. I wonder how Cory and I share the same taste of color shades. I stood up and decided to sneak at him in the kitchen. There, I saw him busy cooking pouring something. I went back to the living room and spotted something. His Photo Album. I laughed silently as I open his album as I was welcomed by his very cute four-year-old full body shot. I never thought he would be so tall because he was really tiny. As I continue to browse his photo album, my laughter began to be louder because of his young nude photos which will certainly have a place in my mind. I laughed hysterically almost falling onto the floor as I noticed him standing in the corner.

"W-What? Lea, what are you doing? That's my photo album you shouldn't be viewing that." Cory ran to me as he possessively took the photo album.

"Why? It's cute! Give it back to me!" I yelled as he placed the album on the top of his cabinet where I can't reach it.

"Lea, I'm finished cooking. Can we eat now? I'm starving."

"Sure. But can you please give the photo album back?" He pouted as I mention those words. I noticed that he's cuter when he does that.

"Okay. The lights, candles and the meal is now served. Here you go, ma'am." He sweetly gave a smile at me as he moves the chair backward, his eyes instructing me to sit.

"Mmm.. Smells good." The sweet aroma of the meal he prepared attacked me and caused me to be hungrier.

"Well, it is my Canadian Specialty and this was one of the bests Canadian Meal. Shaun taught me to cook this."

"Good. What's the name of this?"

"It's Ginger Beef, Hey uh, I got Champagne. I hope you won't mind. Uh, you know after my teenage stuff, this is the only alcohol containing soda I drink. That Okay with you?"

"No problem. Well, actually that's my favourite."

And with that, we began eating Ginger Beef as we talk about our business and drown myself at his crooked smile and hazel eyes.

"Hey, uh. Eat fast, Lea. I mean, so we can go see the stars out there." He said.

"Stars? Yeah. You know, I'm done eating."

He excused himself of me and went to his bedroom. I decided to wash the dishes because I realized that he has roommates and it would be very impolite to leave all of our mess in the sink. It would be a shame for me and Cory.

"Lea, no. Leave that. I'll be the one to do that later. Come on, let's go to my rooftop."

"No, No. No, Your roommates might be mad at you."

"Oh, no Lea. I mean they are having a t-trip in Canada for a week so .. no problem."

"You mean we're alone?" I flinched and got a little uncomfortable upon hearing that.

"Uh yes. C'mon. Let's go. Here I got telescope."

I stopped and stared at him when he told me that. He has a telescope?

"You have telescope?" I asked him.

"Yea. I don't see any problem in that."

He went upstairs as I look like a puppy, following him wherever he goes. I never thought that we share a little geeky attitude.

"There you go! A lot of stars! Let's check them out!"

Cory gave me his telescope and let me view them! The stars are really shining brightly.

"Cory look! That's a bigger one! C-Cory," I turned around to face him but he's not there.

"Cory? Hey! Cory?"

"Lea, I'm here. I got some foods and cloth so we can lay down there and see the stars clearlier."

I couldn't help but give him a little smile for what he did. That was an effort though. It is really tiring to go up and down.

"Oh yeah. They say some meteors are appearing at 9. Right?" I said.

Yes. And we are going to wait for them." Cory responded while he placed the cloth and put the pillows on it. He laid down as if he was going to bed and sleep.

"Won't you.. uh I mean, lay next to me? It's cold." He said as I practically jumped and lay next to him, he putting his arms around my waist as we snuggle up. When he did that, I felt something touched my heart. I don't know but I just smiled and put my head on his shoulder. He rubbed his hands on my side and felt the warmness of his hands until I noticed that I can't escape through his arms because they were all wrapped tightly on my tiny body. He then placed his lap on my leg. I couldn't help but feel frightened because he might squeeze me. Cory started to rub my back as he drew closer and placed his forehead over mine. I couldn't tell what I am exactly feeling right now. All I know is I wanted to capture and crush my lips on his and drown myself at him. I closed my eyes and fought the urge of doing that. When I opened it, I saw his face only an inch away from touching mine. He quickly placed his nose on mine, continuously rubbing my back with one of his hands cupping the side of my face. I can already feel his soft lips attached to mine as I closed my eyes again, ready to take his lips until a strong blow of wind disturbed our moment causing us to break our connection.

"Meteors?" We both asked. He smiled at me and get the telescope as I did the same. That was fast, though. I kept thinking of that until seven meteors passed. Every meteor, he closes his eyes and feel the cold breeze.

"What did you wish?" I asked him.

" I wished that I can always do this and have some fun. I wished that I can always have you in my life. I wish that God will always protect you. I wish that your voice can inspire more people. I wish that you will always stay humble and beautiful. I wished that our friendship will get stronger. I'm keeping my final wish as my secret." He told me as I smiled back.

I kissed his cheeks lightly. He hugged me for a moment as I closed my eyes, forgetting the stress. This day was so fast. All things happened so fast. I never realized Cory will wish something like that, that he will prepare a special dinner for us, that he will take me to his place, that he will make me feel happy.

After a few minutes, I decided to go home because it's already late. He gave me a final kiss on my cheeks as he waved goodbye. All that I was thinking was one of what he wished, which really touched my heart: "I wished that I can always have you in my life."
