Happy Ending (A Monchele Story)

Little Sister

Cory
"Bear! Bear, get up it's important!" Jasmine says on top of me. I chuckle as she tries to pull me out of bed. "What?" I groan looking over at Lea who's sleeping. "I - I used." She says with that I pull her into a tight hug. "When?" I ask carrying her into the bathroom. "A half hour ago." She says and I survey the bathroom and see a pipe with coke inside it. I start crying, why us? "In a hotel room? Really?" She looks at me and I give her look. "I know what I said, don't start with me. Plus I'm here now so it's ok." She sobs in my arms as I remember what happened.
Jasmine
Oh my God can't a girl just take a depression nap in peace?! "Nicole Torres and Jonah Davis!" Their doctor calls out. "Here" we all say as he comes over to tell us what's going on.
"Nicole is doing great! Jonah however...." He trails off. "Listen Doctor..." I say looking at his ID and it says Hudson. "Listen Dr. Hudson just tell us how bad it may or may not be please." I practically beg. I seriously can't go through this twice. I still hear my screams to this day. I'll explain....
July 13th 2013
"No please no!" I scream out. I check every tabloid every Twitter tag whatever you name it I checked it. Just as I was just believing that it was a hoax ,my mom came and said "Ryan's on the line." I pick up the phone sobbing hoping it was Cory going,"gotcha little sis!" But as Ryan confirmed what I'd seen I screamed and fell to the floor crying. "BUT HE, I JUST SAW HIM YESTERDAY!" I don't even care that I'm shouting I don't care anymore. Next thing I know I'm at the hospital and waiting my turn to see him. I'm shaking and I feel sick, all I wanna do is scream, all I wanna do is see my big brother smile his half smirk at me. But I scream in agony when I hear his voice in my head, "Everything is alright." I then stumble in sobbing grabbing his hands starting to sing softly.
"Hmm, hmm
Say goodbye
Not knowing when
The truth in my whole life began
Say goodbye
Not knowing how to cry
You taught me that
And I'll remember
The strength that you gave me
Now that I'm standing on my own
I'll remember
The way that you saved me
I'll remember
Inside I was a child
That could not mend a broken wing
Outside I looked for a way
To teach my heart to sing
And I'll remember
The love that you gave me
Now that I'm standing on my own
I'll remember
The way that you changed me
I'll remember
I learned
To let go
Of the illusion
That we can possess
I learned to let go
I travel in stillness
And I'll remember happiness
I'll remember, hmm
I'll remember, hmm
And I'll remember
The love that you gave me
Now that I'm standing on my own
I'll remember
The way that you changed me
I'll remember (I'll rememeber)
Now I'll never be afraid to cry
Now I finally have a reason why
I'll remember (I'll remember)
Now I'll never be afraid to cry
Now I finally have a reason why
I'll remember (I'll remember)
Now I'll never be afraid to cry
And I finally have a reason why
I'll remember (I'll remember)
Now I'll never be afraid to cry
And I finally have a reason why
Remember."
I then hug him sobbing, "please don't go!" I plead as he continues to console my thoughts. "You said you'd never give up!" I shout. "You always tell me we'll make it through." "We are." I smirk. "You are a nut." I say as I continue to sob silently. "Don't cry." "My big brother you are silly. You can't hug me, mom, Shaun, or Lea so what do you expect us to do!" I shout angrily, my lip quivering as I fight the urge to wail again. I lose it as I feel a sudden warmth around me.
Present day
The last thing I heard were my screams as I sank onto the floor. "He had a minor cardiac arrest, he is responsive so that's good right?" Dr. Hudson says snapping me out of my thoughts flashing a small smile at me. Oh if only he recognized me. Just then Ri looks at me worryingly, "Benny" I mouth calling him over. He then nods and stands behind me, speaking up. "Hi doctor, I'm a friend of Jonah's, I'm Riley Benson." He says and then all of the sudden Doctor Hudson recognizes me. "I'm so so-" I cut him off, I'm really trying not to lose my cool. "Just tell me where they are please." He nods slowly in understanding. "They're in room 511." He says loud enough for our group to hear. "Can we see them?" Everyone else asks I just look straight ahead, standing tall, as I hear a familiar voice. "Keep your head up." I smile looking up at the ceiling. "Hey Ms. Sarah, do you mind if I go first?" She smiles allowing me permission. "Are you sure?" Benson whispers, I nod following the doctor. I make my way to the door, stoping when I touch the knob. "Come in." Nikki says softly. Here we go, I open the door and quietly sprint to them. "It's okay." She says and then pulls me into a hug as my tears fall realizing how hard this is for me. "Look at you up and about!" I say softly. "The things you can do for love." She says smiling at Jonah, I take his free hand, "Aw kiddo always keeping us on our toes." He laughs shyly as I smirk. I smile at the lovely couple as I feel tears sting my eyes. "Hey Jay can you sing for us? For me?" Jonah smiles. "What song?" I reply he thinks for a minute looking at Nikki who nods. "Can we hear "More Than A Feeling?" I wipe my eyes as I sit in a chair gaining my strength. "I'm right here." I smile pulling "my" beanie out of my pocket and putting it on standing up. "Of course." I smile as I start to sing. "I looked out this morning and the sun was gone
Turned on some music to start my day
I lost myself in a familiar song
I closed my eyes and I slipped away
It's more than a feeling
(More than a feeling)
When I hear that old song they used to play
(More than a feeling)
I begin dreaming
(More than a feeling)
'Til I see Marianne walk away
I see my Marianne walkin' away
So many people have come and gone
Their faces fade as the years go by
Yet I still recall as I wander on
As clear as the sun in the summer sky
It's more than a feeling
(More than a feeling)
When I hear that old song they used to play
(More than a feeling)
I begin dreaming
(More than a feeling)
'Til I see Marianne walk away
I see my Marianne walkin' away
When I'm tired and thinking cold
I hide in my music, forget the day
And dream of a girl I used to know
I closed my eyes and she slipped away
She slipped away
It's more than a feeling
(More than a feeling)
When I hear that old song they used to play
(More than a feeling)
I begin dreaming
(More than a feeling)
'Til I see Marianne walk away"
They smile at me as I finished. Jonah hands me a tissue and I nod wiping my face.
"To all of my friends!" I toast the flower on the bedside table. "Cheers!"
Cory
I wonder what they're up to nowadays? Last time we saw them Lea was pregnant and their kids named Rosemary and Cory were so little. Then she found out.
Jasmine
"That was beautiful, thank you Jay." Jonah smiles as I put the flower back down on the end table. "No problem!" I say sitting back in the chair, trying my damnedest not to start bawling. Why is this the only pill I can't seem to swallow? I mean, I took everything for awhile. He's like my big brother in fact he might as well be. He shared his past with me and I listened. I always made sure he never faltered as best I could. I was eleven when we went and got some frozen yogurt. He knew my story, because hell he's lived it. Deadbeat dads, outcasts, music's the best, don't know how we made it past our first breath. Somehow we ended up in LA, on a show called "Glee." I played Katie, his little sister. Anyway we were at this ice cream shop and we sit down at the table as I rambled on about how much I get bored in school, still do I'm completing my diploma now while I'm here, calm down. He then says to me, "I'll tell you something Jazzy, all you have to do is show up and work hard and it will all work out, I promise." He came to my sixth grade graduation, they all did. When my name was called CoMo stood up and yelled "Yeah that's my little sis!" Lea looked at me and all three of us laughed, as he sat down before the audience caught sight of them. I smiled taking my diploma and returning to my seat. "Hey are you ok?" Nikki asked me pulling me out of my memory. "Yeah, just talking to a friend." I say as I was about to breakdown. The door opens and Dr. Hudson walks in and asks my friends, "How are you feeling?" "Good." Jonah says and my tears fall down my cheeks. "I'm sorry doctor but you look awfully familiar." He looks at me and smirks that smirk. "CoMo?" I mouth as I stand up walking over to him. He nods slowly and I take him out in the hallway. "Does Mom? Does Lea? Does Shaun know?" I ask and he nods. "They know Jazzy." He smiles and I hug him as I cry on his shoulder. "This can't be really happening. Can it?" I ask quietly trying not to blow his cover. "I'll explain everything later." I nod as we pull away and I make my way back to the group. "I'm next!" Riley and Tyler say in unison. "Hey Riley you got a nickname?" I ask not wanting any confusion between my boyfriend and Jonah's sister. "Genie." She says. "Why Genie?" I smirk trying not to laugh. "I don't know it just sounds badass." I chuckle, oh she's trying way to hard to come off cool it's amusing. "Ok Genie you and Tyler are next!" I look at Cory with a slow nod and send them down the hall. "Surprise!" Riley whispers in my ear, wrapping his arms around me.  I look up and kiss him softly. "Best surprise ever!" I say falling asleep against his chest smiling. He's back! He's back! He's really back! I run into his arms hugging him tightly. "CoMo!" He chuckles kissing my head. "I'll see you tonight and I'll explain everything, I promise Jazzy." He smiles letting go of me, and walking away. This has been a weird day. But I'm happy so it's all good oh shit my meeting! "Me and Riley have to go!" I say when I get in earshot of everyone. He looks at me, "Now?" "Yes babe now!" I say looking at my watch. "Come on then!" He says grabbing my stuff for me. "Alright everyone, I'll be back in an hour. Ok? Ok." "Bye dear see you later. Be careful." Miss Sarah smiles at me. "Will do, thanks!" "Bye everyone it was nice meeting you!" Riley says following me to the car, and driving to the center. "I'm here, I'm here!" I say speed walking to my seat. "Jasmine's here ok we can start now!" Mrs. Dune says enthusiastically. After three people, I'm next to share how I'm doing with my sobriety. "Hello I'm Jasmine." "Hey Jasmine." They echo, smiling, waiting for me to continue. "I've hadn't had a drink nor a hit of anything for about three years." They clap, smiling. "That's great Jasmine! Who's next?" Mrs. Dune continues around the room. Wow this meeting's a drag, but I'm not complaining. You don't get anywhere by complaining, you come of as a bitch ass diva if you do. At least in my book. But seriously the clock could not move any slower, even if it tried. I look at my watch, yes thirty minutes left thank you god! I can't wait to get out of here! Not that I mind coming here, I just can't wait for later. "Ok, that's all everyone see you next week!" Mrs. Dune adjourns the meeting. Finally let's go, I run out of the room and wait by the front office for Riley to pick me up. "Hey Jasmine you okay?" Mrs. Dune asks taking a seat next to me. "I'm great I'm just waiting for Riley. Why did you ask?" "Oh just wondering, you seem a little anxious, and you're wearing your brother's beanie." "Oh well my friends are in the hospital, they're ok. It just brought up some memories, that's why I was a little late." Oh that and my brother's not really dead. But she doesn't need to know that now does she? Nope. "Well I'm glad they're doing ok, and that you're feeling ok. I understand it's hard for you so I'm glad to see you ok." She smiles at me just as Riley walks in. Saved by the boyfriend, I turn around and smile. "Hey Riley." Hey Jay, Mrs. Dune, how was the meeting?" He smiles helping me up. "Great! She did great!" Mrs. Dune answers. "Well I must be off, I gotta go cook three turkeys for the holiday party tomorrow! I love December!" We smile and we say goodbye, and go to our cars. "Tonight's gonna be fun." He chuckles as he drives back to the hospital.
Cory
She was so happy and doing so well. "We'll get through this, we always do." I kiss her head. "When life leaves you high and dry
I'll be at your door tonight if you need help, if you need help
I'll shut down the city lights,
I'll lie, cheat, I'll beg and bribe to make you well, to make you well
When enemies are at your door I'll carry you way from more
If you need help, if you need help
Your hope dangling by a string
Ill share in your suffering to make you well, to make you well
Give me reasons to believe,
That you would do the same for me
And I would do it for you, for you
Baby I'm not moving on
I love you long after you're gone
For you, for you
You would never sleep alone
I love you long after you're gone
And long after you're gone, gone, gone
When you fall like a statue
I'm gon' be there to catch you
Put you on your feet, you on your feet
And if your well is empty
Not a thing will prevent me
Tell me what you need, what do you need
I surrender honestly
You've always done the same for me
So I would do it for you, for you
Baby I'm not moving on
I love you long after you're gone
For you, for you
You would never sleep alone
I love you long after you're gone
And long after you're gone, gone, gone
You're my back bone, you're me cornerstone
You're my crutch when my legs stop moving
You're my headstart, you're my rugged heart
You're the pokes that I've always needed
Like a drum baby don't stop beating
Like a drum baby don't stop beating
Like a drum baby don't stop beating
Like a drum my heart never stops beating
For you, for you
Baby I'm not moving on
I love you long after you're gone
For you, for you
You would never sleep alone
I love you long after you're gone
For you, for you
Baby I'm not moving on
I love you long after you're gone
For you, for you
You would never sleep alone
I love you long, long after you're gone
Like a drum baby don't stop beating
Like a drum baby don't stop beating
Like a drum baby don't stop beating
Like a drum my heart never stops beating for you
And long after you're gone, gone, gone
I love you long after you're gone gone gone." We smile and I check things and tell Lea.
