Torn (Groffchele Story)

Bringing You Back Home

Thank you so much for the responses to this story, I absolutely LOVE Groffchele so writing this has been like the best treat (even if it’s not a happy storyline).

 Lea POV

 It had been over a week and I still wasn’t functioning right. I mean I was breathing, I was doing all the normal stuff and I had even began eating small amounts to keep my mom at bay and avoid a visit from a doctor, but that was it. I wasn’t actually there. I felt like I was miles away and it was only when Jonathan was with me that I felt somewhat human. He had been coming over every day just to sit with me, it didn’t matter how long he sat there because I knew he was here for me.

He spoke to me about his day, especially his latest projects, which he told me, I couldn’t tell anyone. I heard him laugh nervously at his own words when he realized I wasn’t really talking to anyone yet alone about his secret projects, which he hadn’t yet confirmed.

“Lea, do you trust me?” He asked me, my eyes connected to his in a flash. No doubt in mind made me think differently. I had always trusted Jonathan and I knew he had from the second I helped with the auditions for Spring Awakening all those years ago.

I felt myself nod and the slight pain in my neck grew as I had stiffened up from not moving around recently. I knew it was my own fault, but the world had just stopped for me the second I received that phone call, every thing I had planned for the upcoming months I had to cancel, well more like my assistant had already done it for me not wanting to cause me further pain but yet everyone else’s was still spinning at 1000 mph. I felt his hand hold onto my hand as he stood me up, my head was spinning and I felt his grip hold my waist in position as I got used to standing again. I didn’t want to go but I felt him pull me gently behind him. He helped me put on some clothes, it wasn’t weird as we’d seen each other naked before, well he’s seen me naked before but still he was my best friend and I trusted him with every part of me. He put on some casual jeans and a basic white top, before putting my favourite sandals on my feet and tying the straps up.

I felt the room silence within seconds of me entering. I remained still as I could. I knew if people saw me moving they’d begin telling me how sorry they were or trying to make me feel better but I didn’t want that. I didn’t want to shut people out but right now I still wasn’t fully accepting the whole situation. I felt my mom kiss my cheek and kiss Jonathan’s as she thanked him for getting me out of my room.

I hesitated as we drove for a while, I just wanted to go home and wear his t-shirt I always wore for bed. I just wanted to smell his scent and no one seemed to understand how much of a need it was for me. Jonathan stopped the car and I realized where we were. We had arrived at the Glee set. I felt the tears trickle down my cheeks as I realized what he was doing. He was bringing to me the only place I felt at home. He was bringing me back to where my first memories of Cory started…
