Chapter 2

December 5th, 2011

Lea had slept the whole night peacefully, her dreams all being about Cory and that moment she had met him. His deep hazel eyes were what he remembered most about him, and she just couldn't keep her mind off him the whole night. All she dreamed about all night was him, how hot he looked as he played the drums like he owned them, how sweet his voice sounded when he first spoke to her, and many other characteristics the tall, handsome man had.

She suddenly woke up as she heard a noise come from her phone. She yawned and rubbed her eyes before reaching for her phone that was on the night stand. She took it in her hand and looked at a notification for a text from one of her best friends, Marley. She looked at the text, enough sleep already, don't you think sleeping beauty? Wake up! Still feeling sleepy, she chuckled as she read the text. You just woke me up Mar! She replied still half asleep. She instantly got a reply back from her, I thought so. Hurry up! I can't believe you just woke up! You have to be here at the theater in 10 minutes! When Lea read the text she immediately panicked; she had slept in because of how late she was out last night. Oh my gosh! I better hurry! I'll see you there soon; tell Steven, our director, I'm so sorry about being late, please! Then, she took a look at the time on her phone and jumped out of bed; she quickly put her phone down on the nightstand again and ran in her closet. She picked the first clothes she could get and ran in the bathroom, keeping in mind that she only had about 10 minutes to get ready. She rapidly slipped her pajamas off and stepped in the shower, showering as fast as she could taking less time as possible since she was already gonna be late. She got out of the shower and got ready, drying her hair and putting her clothes on. She finished getting ready, her face clear without make up just like she liked it, and took her bag with everything she needed. She took her car keys and locked her apartment; as she got in the car; she checked the time, only to see she was already almost half an hour late. Thank god the theatre's not far; she thought to herself and drove off to the theatre.

Cory woke up in his hotel room to the loud sound of his band mates pounding on the door to wake him up. "Cory! Get out of there we need to get going soon!" One of his band members, Justin, yelled from the hall as he knocked impatiently on the door.

"Yeah, I'm coming." He got up and yawned, still tired from last night. He had left the bar until late that night, thinking about Lea and how gorgeous she was. He couldn't keep his eyes off her the whole time they we're talking. Then, he suddenly remembered she gave him her number, and he went to look in the pockets of his sweatshirt to see if he could find it before he went to get the door. He looked everywhere, but there was no sign of the tiny, extremely important piece of paper. He went to the door and opened it; he sighed as he opened the door.

"You okay man? You seem a little down..." Justin said frowning as he saw Cory's sad expression.

"Well, no. I mean, not really…"

"Care to tell me what's going on with you? You never look like this. You're normally the happy and cheerful one from the band." He gave him as small nod as he walked in his room without permission from Cory, knowing that he wouldn't care.

He closed the door after he walked in and sighed. "I-I met this girl last night…" He started before Justin cut him off. Justin raised an eyebrow as he started talking about a girl.

"Whoa there, a girl? H-How, W-where?" He asked curiously.

"I went to a bar last night after the show. I was simply just grabbing a drink when I saw her; it was not the first time I had seen her, I've seen her a few times actually. Not personally though." He said with a bit of a disappointed tone as he talked about her.

"Oh… and who's this girl you're talking about?"

"Her name is Lea, s-she works on Broadway. I don't know much about her yet, but I noticed her in the audience at our concert… and honestly, I fell in love with her the second I saw her."

Justin nodded, "And why are you so upset then?"

Cory sighed as he thought about him losing her number once again. "She gave me her number," he paused and looked down annoyed at himself for losing the paper with it, "and I lost it!"

"I see what's going on then…" He nodded at Cory with a serious expression on his face.

"Yeah, I-I just love her so much already, and, gosh, she's so gorgeous and perfect, I could even say." He sighed and looked up again with a sad expression on his face. "I don't know how I'm gonna be able to see her again before we go back to LA."

Justin shrugged as he got an idea. "Look, dude, what did you say that you knew about her Broad- I don't know…" Cory cut him off.

"Broadway, yes, what about it?" He said eager to hear what he had in mind.

"Go watch her show! Don't the people in the cast come out to their fans or something?"

Cory's face lit up as he heard his idea and quickly nodded. "Yes! That's perfect!" He stood up and smiled, "thanks dude, I owe you one."

Justin chuckled, "not at all. We can skip press today. We have the whole week to do that kind of stuff. Get ready and figure out how to get that girl Monteith."

"Yeah! I will. Thanks again dude!" he said with an enthusiastic voice as he thought of seeing Lea again.

"No problem. I'll see you later with the rest of the band. Good luck with her!" He walked out of Cory's room and closed the door so he would stay alone and get ready in there.

Cory went to his over packed bag, just in case he decided to stay in New York for a few more days than he planned to. He took his clothes out and folded them neatly as he looked for the right clothes to wear to go watch a Broadway show. He picked a blue dress shirt, a white and blue striped tie and a black suit. He wanted to look good when he saw Lea again. After her seeing him sweating and in some comfortable clothes at the bar and in his concert, he wanted her to see he was a normal and polite guy. He took his clothes to the bathroom and placed them next to his towel neatly. He took his clothes off and stepped in the shower. He sang a few 80's classic tunes and belted out some notes as he showered. When he was done showering, he stepped out of the shower and grabbed his towel to dry up. He slipped on his clothes and fixed them so they looked nice, just like he wanted to. He dried his hair and combed it a bit so it would look nice enough for a Broadway event.

He had never been to a Broadway show, so he didn't exactly know how people dressed to go to the fancy theatres. He thought he might be a little over-dressed, but he didn't care. He wanted to look good in front of Lea and that's all that mattered to him. He took his keys and wallet and headed out of his house. Not knowing where exactly he was headed to, but he knew where he wanted to get. He went out of the hotel only to see some paparazzi surround him as he walked out trying to get a cab. He avoided all of the questions he got asked and went in the cab as he got one, waving politely to the paparazzi outside the hotel, who were taking pictures of him inside the cab. Cory told the cab driver to take him to Times Square, where he had seen the West Side Story announcement with Lea on it. Hoping the theatre for the musical would be near or around Times Square so he wouldn't have to take another cab there.

As soon as the short drive that seemed long to him because of how silent and boring it was ended, he paid and thanked the cab driver for taking him there. He stepped out of the cab only to be surrounded by thousands of people all over Times Square. Wow, he thought, I wonder how people manage to work or live around here. It for sure is way more crowded than yesterday. He took a look around before deciding which direction to take. He started walking towards some announcements that he recognized were Broadway musicals, hoping he would be able to find information about Lea's show before it started; as he remembered her mention she had to be at the theater early. He walked around Times Square, not knowing where he was headed to or if the direction he was going was the right way, but he just kept walking as he thought of him seeing Lea again and smiled to himself just at the thought of her.
