The asembally room was decorated in dark décor with pictures of the fallen boy scattered around but in very few was he smiling and even if he was I was one of those smiles that never reacted the beholders eyes. The students faces were all mixes of sadness, pain, hurt, and even guilt for those who caused the boy to spiral down. Dean Ramsey walked slowly to the center of the stage an take the mi in her hand. "Good morning students today we are here to honor the memory of Sebastian Smythe," It had been exactly 1 year since Sebastian had taken his own life in the Dalton dorm rooms by taking a handful of pain killers. It had been 11 months, 28 days, 12 hours and 38 minutes since they had found his videos to say goodbye to everyone and a video about why he did it between his desk and the wall. This was the first time anyone had seen the videos. Everyone wanted to comply to the boy's final wish. "First we have requested the warblers to preform a set list in memory of Sebastian and his time as a leader of the group." Dean Ramsey said before walking of the stage and being replaced with the Warblers all standing in perfect formation and most with tears in their eyes. A soft melody filled the air and Hunter Clarington stepped to the front of the group looking the worst out of them all with red puffy eyes and looking extremely pale.
Seems like it was yesterday when I saw your face
You told me how proud you were but I walked away
If only I knew what I know today
Ooh ooh
Hunters voice was weak and hollow but held so much emotion at the same time as the other Warblers joined in, their voices blending perfectly to honor Sebastian.
I would hold you in my arms
I would take the pain away
Thank you for all you've done
Forgive all your mistakes.
This time Nick and Jeff took over, holding onto each other like the other was their life line.
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To hear your voice again.
Sometimes I wanna call you but I know you won't be there
Oh, I'm sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself by hurting you
Blaine joined Nick, Jeff and Hunter at the front takeing the next verse while tears poured from his eyes.
Some days I feel broke inside but I won't admit
Sometimes I just wanna hide 'cause it's you I miss
And it's so hard to say goodbye when it comes to this, ooh, whoa
The others joined in for the chorus again.
Would you tell me I was wrong?
Would you help me understand?
Are you looking down upon me?
Are you proud of who I am?
Hunter took the rest of the song his voice breaking a few times.
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To have just one more chance
To look into your eyes and see you looking back
Oh, I'm sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself, oh, oh, oh.
If I had just one more day
I would tell you how much that I've missed you since you've been away
Oh, it's dangerous
It's so out of line
To try and turn back time
I'm sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself by hurting you.
There was barely a pause before the second song started this time though all the Warblers bowed their heads in respect except the four leads.
Spend all your time waiting
for that second chance
for a break that would make it okay
there's always some reason
to feel not good enough
and it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
oh beautiful release
memories seep from my veins
let me be empty
and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight
Blaine started the song but paused slightly when his eyes catching a slight movement towards the back of the room but chose to believe it was just his mind playing tricks on him form the grief.
in the arms of the angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here
Jeff sang absent minded as he stared dumbstruck at the back of the room.
so tired of the straight line
and everywhere you turn
there's vultures and thieves at your back
and the storm keeps on twisting
you keep on building the lies
that you make up for all that you lack
it don't make no difference
escaping one last time
it's easier to believe in this sweet madness oh
this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees
Nick sang his eyes never leaving the boy in the back who was looking back at them.
in the arms of the angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here
Hunter almost gasped when he saw the face of his lost best friend, crush, and love of his life in the back of the room smiling a sad smile at him. They all looked at each other completely ignoring the standing ovation they got as they searched one another's faces looking for conformation that they all had seen him but when they turned back Sebastian was nowhere to be found.
AU: So I wrote this at first with the intention of it being a one-shothut decided I wanted to make another chapter maybe. The song I used are: (In order)
