"Last day here. " Lea was talking with Dianna as she packed her bags.

" Last hours. " Dianna added.

" Yeah..." Lea sighed.

"What's going on,Lea? " She asked.

" Nothing,it's just... I feel horrible. " Lea sat down on her bed and started crying. " I got a message today - merry Christmas. And nothing. This is how we are going to end this year. "

" Lea, he loves you, he just needs time. " Dianna tried to be good best friend,but she really believed that Cory loved Lea.

" No, Dianna, I am tired of this. I am flying to New York,and I am going to have the best holidays. And I won't think about him even a second. And next year when we start filming again I will be a new Lea. " Lea took her bags and headed downstairs. " Feed Sheila, and call me if something happens,but it won't ,okay? " Lea asked before leaving.

" Aren't you gonna say goodbye to me? " Dianna laughed and they hugged.

" I' ll miss you. " Lea said.

"I'll miss you too,Lea. "

" Mark, so you still haven't told Dianna? " Cory asked as Mark was driving him to airport.

" No and I won't. I think she knows that we have to wait,so we don't need this conversation. But you... "

"What's with me? "

" Did you tel Lea the truth? " Mark asked.

" No and I won't. "

" Why,Cory? You two love each other. You are meant for each other. "

" I'm afraid. She is still cold to me. " Cory sighed and Mark stopped the car. They had reached the airport. "Thank you,Mark, merry Christmas! " Cory said and took his bag.

" You too...And,Cory... " Mark said when he started walking away.

" What? "

" Don't end this year with some unfinished business. " Mark yelled.

" Thank you . " Cory said as the waitress gave him his coffee. He was waiting for his flight. He took his phone,he foud her number. Create a new message

I'm sorry,Lea.I still love you.

He started again.

All I want for Christmas is you

He deleted the text and wanted to try again when he thought that he could call her.

No answer

No answer

"Hello,it's Lea,leave a message. "

"Lea, hi.. it's me... Cory... I just.. I wanted to say.. Merry Christmas,cause you know...we are not going to meet each other till .. And happy new year of course...Actually... It's not what I wanted to say. " He stopped for a minute,but then he got the strenght to say it. " I love you. I still do. And I would give anything to get you , if you are listening to this... Please, call me. Please tell me it is really over or... tell me if we can start again. " He hung up and didn't know what to do. He didn't know if she got the message or not. But he knew that Mark was right - he had to do it.

" Where is my phone? " Dianna said as she was driving home. "Shit... " She started driving back to Lea's house.

Lea was looking for her passport when her phone rang.

" Dianna, I can't talk to you right now. " She said and almost hung up.

" It's important. He has left a message for you. He loves you. Don't go to New York. "

" What? What did he say? " She stopped as heard what Dianna said. Nothing mattered from then.

"That he loves you. That he would do anything to be with you again. " Dianna said.

Silence.

" Lea? Lea, did you hear me? Lea? "

" Yes... " Lea said and put the phone in her bag.

" Excuse me,miss Michele, your passport please. " A man told Lea,but she just walked away. She took her phone again and called Mark.

"Lea? "

" Do you know where is Cory? "She asked.

" Yeah, he is in airport or probably in plane now. "

" Oh... " Lea sadly sighed.

" Lea, what's going on? " Mark asked.

" He called me. " She said with tears in her eyes.

" Wait,Lea, he might still be in the airport, you can catch him... "

"I will. " She hung up and ran to the gate where Cory should be.

"There is no way that the plane is still here? " She asked the woman.

" No,I'm sorry,but the plane is in the air right now,but there is another plane in four hours... " The lady said,but Lea was just standing there,looking outside the window.

She sat down on the airport chair and took her head in her hands.

" Why did I leave him? " She silently said to herself. " Why was I so stupid? " She was crying." I love him.. " She didn't care if there was someone or not, she was just a woman whose heart was breaking.

" Who do you love? " She immediately turned to see the person who said that.

" How... Shouldn't you be going to Canada... Why are you... here ? Cory? " She said thinking if there was a possibility of her dreaming.

" I didn't get an answer to a very imortant message I left for the person I love. " He walked closer her. " And you, shouldn't you be in your way to New York? " Cory asked.

" Someone told me that I got a very important message that didn't allow me to go somewhere before I answer. " She stood up.

" And what is the answer? " He asked , moving closer her and putting his hands on her hips.

" They say that you have to do the right things before Christmas,the end of the year. They say you have to apologise for what you did and forgive the ones that are apologizing. And the most important thing is... You have to be with those who you love. And you are the one I love. I am sorry , Cory... I am sorry for all the wrong things I did this year,sorry for being with you when I was with Theo,sorry for not forgiving you,sorry for being angry becouse you left me... I am so sorry. " She said,reasting her head on his shoulders.

" Lea, it's okay. You know what is the most important now? " the looked at each other's eyes. "That we are here. Together. And that we love each other. And nothing is going to change that. From this moment we are together. Forever. " He said and kissed her passionately.

"Hey.. " Dianna said as Mark opened the door of his house.

"Wow, Dianna, what are you doing here? " Mark asked.

" We need to talk. " She said and Mark felt a bit worried.

"About what? " He asked as he let her in.

" Us. " She said smiling.

" Sure... " He said and they sat down on his couch.

" I wanted to talk about the proposal. " Dianna said.

" Uhh, yeah.. " He said,being afraid of what she wants to say.

" I am not ready. You are nice and sweet and...really great,but not yet. I am not ready for wedding,children,everything that comes with this. " She said and really hoped that he won't get angry or sad.

" Well, actually so am I. I really think you are the most lovely,beautiful girl in the world. You are my idea of what ideal woman is,but I also would like to wait some months. "

She hugged him.

" God, I thought this conversation would be much harder. " Dianna laughed.

" Well,not for us. " They both laughed again.

" So,would you like to a watch a movie tonight? "
