Me and Monica were talking again. God, I did miss talking to her. I had to phone her, I just had to. Its been 3 months now since I've moved in with Lea and Cory. Things still haven't progressed with Cory, I thought it would by now. I go and grab my phone from the underneath the covers of my bed as I heard Call Me Maybe start to play.

-answers phone-

'Monica, oh my god. I haven't spoke to you in ages!' I literally fell off the bed during the process of grabbing my phone because I was that excited to talk to Monica again. Its been so long!

Meanwhile, Lea was out shopping with her close friends Dianna and Jenna, Cory had decided to give his old friend, Chord Overstreet, a call to catch up.

'HEY BRO! Hows it going?' That's the first thing Chord had said to me.

'CHORD!, just wanted to catch up. Haven't spoke in years!' I've needed someone I can talk to for a while now. I know I'm with Lea and everything and I love so so much but sometimes I need a guy to talk to.

'So how you been Cor?, you know since everything that happened?' I was so not ready to be asked questions like this; but suppose I'll have to answer some time or another instead of bottling it all up.

'Well, I suppose its taken me a while to get over it all but ever since Lea's cousin, Hayley, got caught drinking she's had to move in here with us. I was so looking forward to be moving forward with Lee you know?...' I rubbed the back of my neck, like I usually do when I'm nervous. I knew Chord couldn't see me or anything; but I probably sounded so nervous. '...but she had to agree on letting Hayley come live with us. This isn't how I planned my life Chord!, when Lea had first told me what was going to change, I was the happiest I've ever been. Then it happened, and my life has changed in a completely different way. I'm still getting over it. Its hard...' I heard Chord take a deep breath over the phone, I knew he was just taking his time to process what I had just said. I waited about 5 minutes until he spoke again.

'wow Cor. Seems like a lot has happened. Maybe you should talk to her? Hayley you know?. If she can see that you're not happy, maybe its making her feel like she cant live there with Lee. Her only cousin that's supporting her and taking her in.' it was now my turn to process what Chord had said. Maybe he's right, maybe I should talk to her. I mean Lea has been convincing me for about three months now...

I had been on the phone to Monica now for about 45 minutes explaining everything and how my life is changing..

'you know Monica, I've been here for three months now and I can still see that Cory has a problem with me living here. Every time I try to talk to him, he either pretends that Lea called him or just ignores me and avoids eye contact.' I could feel tears stinging the back of eyes, threatening to fall. Saying all this out loud, to someone, was a good though right? 'I actually wish you weren't all the way in Nashville Monica. I need someone right now.'

'Hayley, I wish I was there too, to help you through all this. It may seem like he doesn't want you there, but you don't know that. He may be struggling with the fact that he's got to share Lea with you. And he may feel like you are invading their privacy.' Monica always knew there was at least something she could do to make me feel better, but for some reason this one piece of advice wasn't working.

'I don't know, Monica. It seems like he really doesn't like me living here' Even though she couldn't see me I shrugged my shoulders. I heard a knock on my door, I knew it wasn't Lea; she was too busy out with Dianna and Jenna. So it must be... Cory? What? Why?.

The door opens slightly after I realise I hadn't said anything, and Cory pops his head in.

'Hey. Hayley can I talk to you for a minute or so?' I realise that I'm still on the phone to Monica so I have to quickly end it. 'Monica, I'm going to have to call you back a bit later. Cory wants to talk to me' With that I end the phone call without letting Monica get a chance to reply and beckon for Cory to enter my room.

'What is it Cory?' I ask. This has come to me as a shock because its the first time in three months that he has actually spoke to me.

He takes a few moments to reply, he takes a deep breath in and out and then starts to talk.

'Look, I know I have come off on the wrong foot and haven't acted the way Lee has been telling me to. I've just heard part of your conversation with your friend as I was walking up the stairs. And just so you know, I don't hate you. And I don't hate the idea of you living here. Its just...' He stops. And for a minute it looks like his face suddenly drops and has the look of sadness in his eyes. '… Lea and I have been together for a very long time now and we were hoping to start a family. But something happened...'

'COR?!' I shouted from the bedroom. 'CORY, BABE!' I shouted again. I heard him run up the stairs as fast as possible. 'Lee, you okay? What's wrong?' aw he looks all worried, its cute. 'nothing, just a question I wanted to ask you.'

'okay, what is it?' he stood shuffling from one foot to the other, some habit he does when he's nervous. As well as rubbing the back of his neck.

'how would you feel about having someone else live with us?' now I'm the nervous one. Cheesus.

'erm, I don't know. Depends on who, how old and how lon-' WAIT! Lee are you telling me that you're-?'

'IM PREGNANT!' I actually screamed with joy and ran into his arms. He caught me around the waist as I kissed him passionately and wrapped my legs around his waist. He let go of me when oxygen was needed.

'Lee, oh my god. I cannot actually believe this! We're having a kid?. A real kid!' he was so happy.

'Four weeks had passed, we were so happy. But then disaster struck...'

We had been at Central Park now for about two hours. It was lovely. It was a quiet day and it seemed unusual. New York its NEVER quiet. Although, this morning Lea didn't seem her usual self. She's usually all chirpy and happy, but not today. It got to about half 2 in the afternoon when Lea suddenly shot up gripping her stomach...

'oh my god, Cory. No?' My hand went straight to my mouth in shock after he had finished. I moved to sit next to him on the bed, just comforting him. I never knew, oh my god.

He turned slightly to face me and with the sadness in his eyes, he said 'it was a miscarriage'. It was that quiet I almost didn't hear it.

I couldn't believe it. This is why he hasn't spoken to me for three months or even looked me in the eye. I was getting in the way of him trying to start a family again with Lea.

'look, Hayley, I really do not mind that you are living with us; its just I was planning on starting again with Lee. Starting a family again you know?. I want a family with her, I want to spend the rest of my life with her. So I'm going to need your help...'
