I don't own The Big Bang Theory or any of the characters!

Penny wakes up at 5 am feeling like something was wrong. The other side of the bed was cold and it looked like it was barely used. She started to be worried. She remembered asking when he was going to work earlier because of his experiments. He said it wasn't any time soon. So where was he?

Penny got up and went looking in the apartment hoping to find him in the living room working or watching a movie, with the excuse that he couldn't sleep. She was ready to tell him that she had already tell him to wake her up and they would talk until he could finally sleep. Unfortunately he was nowhere to be found. She thought of calling someone but it was, by that time, 5.30. She wasn't waking anyone up. They were probably sleeping and she would either wake them up or not get answered. She considered going out and trying to find him but it was raining too much outside. She put her hand in her pocket and found her phone.

'Of course!' she thought 'I could call and ask where he is'

Leonard has been sitting in that cold floor for over 5 hours. He had been in bed for less than 1 hour when he got a call from his brother Michael. Since he was born he had seen his brother crying once and that was only when he took a B+ and had to tell that grade to Beverly and Alfred. So when he got a call little before midnight he answered and left his room to make sure he wouldn't wake up his sleeping wife.

The phone call started with his brother telling him he had something to say. His voice was one of someone who had been crying. It was low and broken like it was the end of the world.

'Mother has died Leonard.'

Leonard didn't know what to say. 'My mother is dead. I won't talk to her again. I will never see her again.'

Even after everything that Beverly did she was still Leonard's mother. He was sad. He was only on the phone with his brother for a couple more minutes. Leonard said he would go to New Jersey as soon as he could. His brother said he had time. The doctors didn't know what was wrong with her and why she died so she was going to be autopsied. That's when he went to the roof and sat there.

After approximately 1 hour it started to rain. Leonard didn't move a muscle. He just allowed the rain to run through his skin. Ever since he was a kid that the rain, just the sound of it, made him feel alive and that everything was going to be alright.

In that moment he needed to feel like everything was okay. He needed to feel alive.

That was when Penny called him. His phone was on his pocket and he heard it ringing to the sound of "God Must Have Spent A Little More Time On You" from NSYNC, Penny's favorite song. He kept it ringing for a while thinking that she would just go back to sleep.

'Damn it! He's not answering… I'll just call again.' Penny thought

'Second time calling. Must be important. Maybe she's calling me to tell me about my mom. I'll just text her saying I'm fine. That way she might go to bed and sleep.'

Leonard texted her saying that he was fine and was at work. A little lie to a person he hated to lie. But it had to be done because he wasn't ready to face the truth.

End of Chapter 1

Read&Review

I had this idea and I needed to write it and post it before I forgot I had it. The other two stories (one being "Not again" and the other about Leonard's family are going to be posted once this one is over. I don't have new ideas for any of them. The one about his family has 4 chapters already written but I'm not happy with them. At least not enough to post them.

Also, I didn't expect to study during the school break but I need to so my idea of writing stories and post them is not happening. Sorry but school is my number 1 priority. They'll be posted when I get time to review them and post them the way I want. Without rushing anything. Grades weren't the ones I expected so I need to study even more. Making my small time to write even smaller.

I'm sorry for those who want to read my stories for this.
