I don't own The Big Bang Theory or their characters.

Penny went to sleep after getting Leonard's text message. She woke up in the morning and went to work expecting Leonard to call her during the day. But no calls were made. She got home expecting him to be there. But he wasn't there. That's when she got a call. She answered it

'Where are you Leonard?" Penny asked

"This is Sheldon"

"Sheldon? Why are you calling me?"

"Leonard didn't come to work. He was supposed to drive me since Amy is working until late. Can you come and pick me up?"

Penny could hear the rain through the phone. Sheldon hated the rain. Especially when he was outside.

"Sure, sweetie. I can go and pick you up"

'If Leonard wasn't at work where was he all day long?' Penny thought 'Hopefully Sheldon knows something'

Penny finally spots Sheldon and lets him in the car. They drive for a while and when Penny was about to start speaking Sheldon asks

"So… where's Leonard?"

'That's it. He doesn't know where Leonard is and I haven't heard from him since he texted me saying he was fine. Where is he then?'

"I don't know Sheldon. I haven't seen him for a while." Penny answered. She didn't want to tell Sheldon that she hasn't seen his best friend for almost a day. She didn't want to make him be as worried as she was.

"Have texted him? Have you asked where he was?"

"Yes Sheldon. He texted saying he was fine. Can we just drop the subject?"

"Yes. We can."

"Good. Thank you!" It wasn't like she was mad at Sheldon. But as Sheldon talked her concern for Leonard's whereabouts were growing bigger and bigger. She decided to talk to Sheldon about his work, even though she wouldn't understand a thing. She was just trying to take her mind of the situation.

They both finally arrived home a little late than they were supposed to. Penny looked around the apartment looking for Leonard only to realize he wasn't there. Since everyone was there, even Amy that was supposed to be at work but left earlier, she asked them if they knew where Leonard was. No one knew. They ate and made small talk but Penny wasn't participating in that. She kept being worried about Leonard. That's when 'You Have a Friend in Me' starts playing. Unconsciously smiled. I wasn't Leonard's favorite song but it was her wedding vows and she loved it. It was then she remembered. 'Leonard's calling me!'

She answered the phone all she heard was raining and then he hung up. She only had time to say 'Yes? Where are you?'

That made her even more concerned. But not more than a minute later someone opened the door. It was Leonard clearly drunk and disoriented, like he had no idea where he was, what day it was or what was happening. But when he looked at Penny, that's when she realized is red face and noticed he had been crying. That wasn't rain. All of his clothes were soaked and his hair was wet. But his eyes. They looked like he wasn't alive.

"Leonard? Sweetie? What's wrong?" Penny asked, getting up to see him closely, scared he was just going to open the door and run.

"My mom. She's dead." Leonard said.

The way he said those words, it sounded like they were said by a five year old. Penny didn't know the right words to say so she hugged. She didn't care about his clothes or his hair. She hugged him, stroking his hair with one hand, the other in his back rubbing small circles.

Everyone else was shocked but they knew better. They knew Leonard was shocked and they shouldn't ask anything until he was better. They all looked at Sheldon to make sure he wouldn't say something he shouldn't. That's when they saw he wasn't in 'his spot' anymore.

End of Chapter 2

Read&Review!

Ok that's it! Another chapter was written. I like writing this story because it's the one I have more ideas on what to write next. I like to incorporate things we know about the characters in my writing. That's why I used 'You have a Friend in me' and 'God Must Have spent a Little More Time on You' has ringtones since its Penny and Leonard's favorite song or wedding vows. They have sweet stories with this songs and that's what I like to do. Use little things on my stories.

I don't own any of the songs though. But I like both of them!

Hope you all like my stories!
