Lea always had a laugh with Jonathan there was no doubt about that but something was wrong. She didn't know what but she could feel it inside her gut, that something wasn't right back at the house. Cory hadn't answered her text back, which was strange for him because he always had his phone on him.
"Lee, can you stop panicking, I'm sure he's fine, he'll be playing on his Xbox knowing him.." Jon reassured her but he knew it didn't work.
"What if he's hurt?" Lea said fiddling with her hands.
"He's a big man Lea, I don't think he'll be hurt, wasn't he home when you left?"
"Yeah but he pulled into the driveway as I drove off.." She said
"Wait, wasn't he working till 10?" Jon asked.
"Yeah, that's why I'm concerned because he's like 4 hours early and you and I both know Ryan doesn't send anyone home unless there is a technical issue or you're ill" Her voice filling with dread.
"Why don't you phone Ryan?" Jon said placing his hand on top of hers.
"I can't, that'll seem like I'm a controlling girlfriend and I've come out with you, it's not fair" She said plastering a fake smile on her face.
"Lea, phone Ryan, if you don't I will. After all he's my friend too" Jon said.
"Fine, I'll call him.." She said picking up her phone and dialling Ryan's number.
"Hey Lea! How's Cory?" Ryan answered instantly.
"Hi, that's what I called about, I'm out with Jon at the moment but I saw him pull up, did you send him home, he hasn't answered my calls or texts, I'm really concerned?"
"Lea, you need to go home, he's in no state to be on his own.."
"What, why!?" Lea said beginning to panic.
"He's be fine all day and then it came to 3:15 and he went as pale as a ghost, he started to shake and he started to scream in agony, it was his stomach, we told him to ring you to come and pick him up but he was having none of it, saying he didn't want to ruin your day with Jon and said he can drive back to yours, I've never seen him in that state before .."
"Oh my god! Ryan, thank you so much! I'll go home now and keep you updated!" Lea said saying her goodbyes and putting her phone away and getting up quickly.
"Lea, what's wrong?!" Jonathan said getting up from his seat
.
"We need to go, I'll explain in the car" She said rushing to the door of the restaurant.
Once they were both at the house, she quickly walked into the house, to see him laid on the couch fast asleep.
"Baby..." She said rushing over to his side and instantly waking him up
"Babe, my stomach- I can't, it hurts so much!" He said nearly screaming in pain.
"Alright, alright, alright, it's going to be okay.." She said looking at Jonathan scared out of her mind.
"Do you want me to call a private doctor?" Jon said trying to stay calm.
"Please.." She said quickly as he rushed into to the kitchen to make the phone call.
"Cor, look at me.." pulling his face with her tiny finger to look at her, her heartbreaking as she saw tears fall from his misty eyes.
"It really hurts..I'm sorry." wincing when pain hit his stomach once again.
"Hey, why are you apologising, I should be saying sorry for not being here.." she said grabbing his hand.
"It's not your fault, don't go blaming yourself, I would of rang you but I left my phone in the car" Cory said squeezing her hand as the pain got worse.
"Don't worry, all you need to do is relax and we are going to get you better" she said reassuring him.
"Thank you.."
"No need to thank me.." she said stroking his cheek.
Jon came back into the room asking Lea to come into the dining room.
"Right, a bit of an issue.. She can't get out to see him.. The best decision is taking him to the hospital" Jon said softly.
"We can't move him, he's in so much pain.."
"Look, I'll drive and you sit with him at the back, that way he's not alone and he can have someone to comfort him, we need to get him there Lee" He said practically begging her.
"Okay.." she said taking a deep breath and re-entering the room.
"Cory, we need to take you to the hospital, the doctor can't get out here, I'm sorry.." Jon said sympathetically.
"Okay.." He's voice filled with panic, Lea instantly picking up on his tone, he was never the one to tell anyone if he was suffering, nervous or scared, he only told Lea and Lea could pick up on his tones really quickly.
"Baby, I'm going to be there. I'll sit with you in the car, I'm not going anywhere" She said bending down to his eye level.
"Good, I can't go without you" Cory said his eyes glazed with a worry.
"Like I'd let you go through it alone" She said grabbing his hand.
"I'm going to pull the car over to make it easier for you" Jon said smiling at them both.
"Okay, thank you" Cory said smiling at him.
"Promise me you'll give me snuggles in the car.." He said once Jon was gone.
"Of course, lots and lots, can you sit up for me?" Lea said as he started to sit up slowly, moaning at the pain in the process.
"Breath, breath, breath" she said her heartbreaking for him as Jon entered the room.
"Can I have a minute before I stand?" He said weakly.
"Of course you can bud, take your time.." Jon said.
After a minute of sitting he took a deep breath and began to stand Lea putting both her hands out so he could use it for support.
"There's no rush babe, breathe" She said softly.
As much as Jonathan's heart was breaking for the pair, he couldn't help feel happy for Lea. She was finally settled and happy and that made his heart ooze, Cory definitely was an inspiration to her and vice versa.
"Okay I'm ready.." He said as he clutch to Lea's hand with every painful step.
Once they got in the car, Lea buckled herself in, Cory instantly laid down, resting his head on Lea's lap as Jon started the engine.
"I wish I could take the pain away from you.." Lea said as she gently started to tickle his forehead softly as they held hand.
"I'll be fine, as long as I'm with you, everything is okay" He pouted.
"I love you" She said kissing his pouting lips, Cory suddenly pulling away as the pain got unbearable.
"It's alright, it's okay" she said as he whined in pain, pulling up his shirt she started to tickle his stomach softly, melting under his touch.
"That's nice" He said squeezing his hand in appreciation.
"You sure?" She smiled softly.
"Hmmum.." He said as she kissed his forehead.
"Don't fall to sleep babe,we're nearly there" She said after 5 minutes of tickling him and just on cue Jon pulled up in the car park.
Once they were in the hospital, the doctors immediately took him for X-ray, telling Jon and Lea to wait in the hospital room they provided them both with.
"Thanks Jon.." Lea said as Jon handed her a coffee he just got them both.
"You're welcome, how are you feeling?" He asked as he sat on the edge of the bed with her.
"I'm okay, a bit shook up but other then that okay. I just want him to get better.." He said as tears started to fill her eyes.
"Hey, he is in the best place, they'll know what to do" Jon said pulling her into his side.
"Yeah, you're right, thank you Jonathan for everything tonight.."
"No need to thank me, silly, I adore you both, so anything for my two favourite people" He said tapping her nose.
"Ms Michele?" Dr. Cameron said knocking on the door gently, poking his head around the corner.
"Yes, that's me"
"Hi, I'm Dr Cameron, I've just examined Cory and it is very clear in these images, that he has a kidney stone, we're going to take him down to surgery straight away, to remove them" He said pointing to the images provided.
"Is he going to be okay?" She said bitting her lip nervously.
"Yeah, he'll be in surgery for an hour, he'll have to spend the night in hospital but by tomorrow afternoon he should be okay to go home, although I'd advise him to stay home from work for a week and take it easy" Dr. Cameron said.
"Okay, thank you so much" She said sighed in relief.
"You're welcome, now he's not gone under yet so you can come and see him if you want, he really wanted to see you" smiling softly.
"Of course.." Her heartwarming at how Cory wanted to see her.
"Only one person can come though and you must sanitise your hands and where a small gown" He said smiling at the pair.
"Okay, see you later Jon.. " Lea said kissing his cheek.
"See you later, I'll go back to yours and get you and him some things, I'll be here when you come back"
"Thank you so much" As she waved to him.
Dr. Cameron took Lea down to the surgery unit and gave her everything she needed as she entered the surgery room, to see Cory laid in the hospital bed.
"Hey you!" She said walking over to him.
"Hey babe" he said weakly kissing her lips.
"Look at you looking snazzy in your gown" Lea said softly sitting on the stool next to his bed.
"We're matching again" He said laughing softly grabbing her hand.
"Oh god I know, even in a hospital. you're still attractive though" Lea said stroking his knuckles.
"You are too" he said smiling softly but moaning in pain
"It'll be gone soon baby, you're doing so well" She said kissing his cheek.
"Okay, we are ready.." Dr. Cameron said softly.
"Will you be here when I wake up?" He said looking at her.
"Of course I will" Lea said kissing him "I love you so much babe"
"I love you so much too" He said placing a final kiss on her lips.
"See you later okay?" She said trying to keep the emotion in lock and key.
"See you later" Cory said softly and with one final hug she was gone.
One hour later and Lea was called to the recovery unit, to see her sleeping boyfriend.
"The anaesthetic will ware off soon so he should be round any minute, the operation went perfectly, he should be fit and healthy in no time" Dr Cameron smiled as Cory stirred.
"Thank you so much" Lea said as she saw him waking up
"Hey gorgeous! You did so well" Lea said stroking his cheek.
"Hey, you look beautiful as ever" He croaked.
Even when he was at his lowest point and feeling like pure crap he always found ways to make her feel good.
"You look beautiful too, you bedhead is my favourite thing"She said running her hands through his hair.
"I feel like crap but you always make me feel better about myself" He said smiling weakly.
"Likewise baby" She kissing his cheek.
"Mr Monteith, we're going to transfer you to your hospital room now" Dr Cameron said earning a nod of Cory as they helped him into the wheelchair, letting Lea push him into the room.
As they entered the room Jon immediately stood up holding door for them both.
"Hey Cor!" He said high fiving him.
"Hey bud!" Smiling at him.
"How are you feeling?"
"Like I'm not here and sore but I'm coming around, apart from Lea making car noises coming down the corridor and making me even more sore from laughing" He said looking up at her as she wrapped her arms around him from the back of the chair.
"Shush you, I was great, you loved it" Lea said burying her head into his neck.
"I'm glad you're feeling better" Jon said smiling.
"Yeah, thank you both so much, I really appreciate it all, I'll make it up to you both for ruining your night, the greatest friends ever!" Cory smiled.
"You didn't ruin our night at all and I think the medication has got to your head because I'm not your friend baby" Lea laughed.
"You know you're my best friend and girlfriend all in one" he smiled.
"Good save" Jon said as both boys laughed. "Anyways, I've brought your things, some fresh clothes, your phone, iPad, home comforts, just the things to make you feel at home"
"Thanks Jon, I really do appreciate everything!" Cory smiled.
"No worries, like i said, i'm glad you're better, now, i'm going to take off, if there is anything you need, at all, just ring me okay?" Jon said looking at the pair. Giving them a final hug and leaving them be.
"Let's get you into bed Mr!" Lea said taking him over to the bed and helping him into bed.
"Babe, where are you going to sleep?" He asked.
"On the seat, i'll be fine, as long as your comfy that's all that matters to me" She smiled.
"Nope, this bed is big enough for the both of us" Cory said pulling back the covers.
"Cor, i can't, you need to rest and if i kick you or somethin-"
"Lee, please, for me? You won't hurt me, I promise." He pouted.
"Fine" She said slipping into the covers with him.
"Thank you, for everything tonight, you're the most amazing person ever and i love you so much, you don't understand, you've stood by me through everything tonight and i'm so grateful, I don't think I could do this without you. You're my inspiration Lea Michele" He said resting his head on hers.
"Stop thanking me, i'm just glad you feel better, you are the inspiring one babe, you're amazing and i'm the luckiest girl in the world, I am so proud of you. I just love you so much." she said pouring all her love into one kiss.
"I'll love you forever"
