Cory opened his eyes and yawned. He was still pretty tired and really didn't want to go to work today. He got off the couch and went over to the fridge where he got something to eat. It was only when he returned to the couch when he saw her, laying on the arm chair. He slightly panicked and went over to her to check if she was even still alive. Happily he could feel her heartbeat. But he had no idea what to do. Should he call Theo? What would he say? Nothing had happened, but she did stay over at his place and Cory knew that Theo wouldn't really appreciate that.
Lea's phone went off and Cory checked who it was. Theo. He panicked even more when he saw his name on the screen. He couldn't answer that. But if they both didn't answer, he'll get anxious. Which he probably was already after finding out that his girlfriend never returned back to the hotel…
''Lea…pss! Wake up!'' Cory hissed, getting more and more panicked by her phone which was still ringing. ''Please, wake up!''
He softly nudged her, but it didn't help. He sighed and eventually pushed her pretty hard. Even after that, she didn't wake up. Then Cory thought about something he always saw in movies. Water. He didn't know if it would work, but he didn't know what else to do. She did have to wake up, and waiting wasn't going to help either.
He got a glass of water and threw it in her face. She immediately opened her eyes and screamed.
''Ahhh! Oh my god!'' She yelled, jumping off the arm chair. ''Cory! Why the hell did you do that?'' She squealed angrily.
''You had to wake up!'' Cory protested. ''I didn't know you were such a deep sleeper.''
Cory suddenly noticed Lea's eyes widened. She must have realized where she was. And maybe even their kiss from the other night, but he wasn't sure about that.
''I slept at your place?'' She questioned, looking around. ''W-what happened?''
''Nothing.'' Cory instantly told her. ''You just wanted to see my place and apparently we fell asleep…''
''Oh…'' Lea responded. ''I'm so sorry…I didn't mean to be a bother.''
''It's okay. Don't worry about it.''
''Did I do something weird last night?'' Lea asked, looking Cory in his eyes.
She knew when he was lying. She just knew. But he had no other choice than to lie. He couldn't tell her what had happened. Not only because it was actually very awkward to tell, but also because she didn't remember, which probably meant that she didn't mean to and would regret it if she found out. Plus, he didn't want to confuse her in any way.
''No..nothing weird. You just sang, but that's normal.'' Cory replied, quickly looking away. ''Anyway, I think you should call Theo…he's probably anxious..''
''Yes, you're right.'' Lea nodded, grabbing her phone. ''Shit…57 missed calls and 184 texts..''
She dialed Theo number and waited for him to answer while Cory made some orange juice for both of them. He pretended that he didn't listen to Lea and Theo's conversation on the phone, but of course he did. He was constantly listening to what Lea said.
''But…nothing happened, Theo. Why don't you believe me?'' Lea whispered, but loud enough for Cory to hear.
''I didn't mean to stay over! It just happened. He's my friend, it's okay!'' She went on, while leaving the living room.
Cory felt bad for what happened. He should have brought her home the other night. Then nothing would have happened and everything would be alright. He would absolutely hate himself if he had caused a fight between Lea and Theo.
Lea came back after a few minutes and sat down on the couch next to Cory.
''You alright?'' Cory questioned, handing her a glass of orange juice.
''Yeah…'' Lea sighed, smiling as she took it from him. ''Thanks Cor. For everything.''
''No problem. That's where friends are for, right?'' He grinned.
''Yes...Cory, I hate to say this but…Theo and I are leaving earlier..''
Cory's heart broke when she said that. he hoped so much that he could spent some more time with her while she was here. But now she was already leaving again. ''Really?'' He frowned. ''When?''
''Today…''
''Oh..''
''But we're gonna call each other again, right? Texting like we used to every day, calling once in a while, it's gonna be like the old days again…'' Lea said.
''I don't know, Lea…'' Cory admitted. ''So many thing have changed..''
''No they haven't…It's always been the same.''
''Lea, you don't understand. But I…I can't do this any longer.'' Cory said. ''I wish you the best! More than that! You deserve it so much! Everything! But please, leave me alone to sort some things out…''
''What things?'' Lea questioned, taking Cory's hand. ''Are you alright?''
''Things…us…I just, I need to forget you. Move on with my life. Forget what happened these few days.''
''Like that kiss from yesterday?''
Cory's eyes widened as she spoke. ''W-what?'' He stuttered.
''You really think I don't remember? Why didn't you tell me when I asked?'' Lea questioned.
''Lea…I..'' Cory had absolutely no words. He didn't know what to say to her right now. ''I was just drunk..and you were there..''
''You weren't drunk…I know you. You barely drink, Cory. So why. Why did you kiss me?''
''Well, the question is actually reversed. Why did YOU kiss ME?'' Cory asked, raising his eyebrows. ''You were the one who started, remember?''
