Chapter Three
"How long has this been going on?" Amber demanded
"Listen, it was all a mistake, me and Cory had a fling. He loves Dianna, and he'll stay with her - we'll forget this ever happened. Dianna is a friend to me too. I hate hurting her. I'm never doing it again, and I hope he comes clean to Dianna" Chris explained while trying to hold back tears
"I don't know how to feel about this Chris. I always thought you were a beautiful person, inside and out, but how can you do this? and Cory isn't any better, just tell me what you need so I can leave now"
"What I need? Amber, what I need right now is a friend. I feel like shit as it is, please stay" Chris couldn't hold back from crying
"Ok...but promise me it'll never happen again"
"I'll try, but I can't promise anything" Chris said
"You just said you'll never do it again!"
"Well I have to be honest with myself Amber. I think I really do love him too. I only denied my feelings to him because you were here" Chris admitted
There was dead silence, then the two friends talked it out all night and Chris explained everything to her, in detail, before getting ready for bed. While laying his head on the pillow Chris texted Cory admitting his feelings, how much he really does love him, and that hes sorry for telling him otherwise.
But no reply.
He couldn't sleep, he had sent the text two hours ago. What is going on? he thought. He then hears someone crying, Amber rushes to his room, in tears.
"ITS CORY! hes been in a car accident, hes in the emergency room, hes been in there for 3 hours already. Lets go" Amber said while crying.
Chris couldn't say a word, by Amber's tears its obvious he must have been really hurt. It also happened 3 hours ago, before Chris had sent his text. Maybe...just maybe, the car accident wasn't an accident? Chris thought before he got up, and rushed with Amber to get to the hospital.
They quickly reached the hospital and ran inside.
"Cory Monteith!" Chris told the nurse, she quickly directed them to the waiting room where Lea, Mark, Jenna and Kevin were all waiting. They updated Chris and Amber on Cory's condition.
"He may or may not make it...no one knows why he would cross that light red, on purpose. He could have been killed" Mark said, his eyes showed that he too had been crying for his friend.
"Lucky no one in the other car was hurt" Kevin interjected
"Where's Dianna?" Amber asked
"She needed some alone time, shes waiting outside on the balcony. She doesn't want to be interrupted unless its an update on Cory's condition. She's taking this really hard, she can not stop crying". Lea said while looking directly at Chris, making him feel guilty.
"Oh" Chris said.
"Can I have a word with you, Chris?" Lea said rudely as she got up and left the waiting room. Expecting Chris to follow. He did.
Outside the hospital's entrance, Lea confronted Chris.
"When I got here to the hospital, Dianna gave me Cory's phone, and other items to hold, since his car was a wreck. Anyway while in the waiting room I got this funny text message...care to explain?" She said as she flashed Chris the text message he sent only a couple of hours ago, the message that admitted his true feelings. The message Cory didn't and possibly will never see.
"Did you tell Dianna?" Chris asked before answering her
"No I didn't, so I assume you and Cory were having sex?" Lea said
"Yes...but only a few times...what we had was more than sex, to both of us"
"More than sex? you know what Dianna told me before this happened? she said that Cory is her soul mate, that these 3 months of them being together has changed her life. That she would do anything for him!" Lea was getting angry
"Well Cory has a piece of my soul too, and I love him, just as much as Dianna does" Chris couldn't help getting angry himself.
Lea slapped him.
"How dare you, Dianna is my best friend and I'm not letting you destroy what she and Cory have, and don't worry Cory isn't any better - but he isn't the home wrecker, you are!"
Chris was silent, he could feel the tears rolling down his face. He quickly ran back to his car, Amber would just have to get a ride from someone else he thought as he jumped in and drove off.
On his way, he was started singing while the tears rolled down his face
"Love don't liive here anymooooooore" he sung, but it was off key, just like his life at the moment. He turned into his street, and was about to get out until his phone started ringing, it was Amber.
"Amber I'm sorry I left you guys but.."
"He's awake!" Amber said interrupting Chris.
"I'm on my way" Chris said and shut the phone. But before he could drive back he thought to himself Maybe its better if I back off? this is all my fault, afterall, I deserved that slap Lea gave me. But the love I feel for Cory. Ever since I first saw him, talked to him, there was a connection. He is my everything...but then there is Dianna who also loves him, who is also my dear friend. Its either go up to my apartment, and pretend me and Cory never happened or go to the hospital and admit everything, and claim Cory as my man...
"I'm on my way..." he muttered
