Hey guys. So I've been listening to Glee more than ever since Cory became out angel and so I decided to do some tribute story for him. This isn't totally planned out, as I am currently writing this as I go along. So excuse me if this comes out odd.
Going Anywhere.
It was ten at night on the William McKinley High school football field. It was late May. May was the season that warm weather began, the season that started life all over again. Life and love and friendship filled the air. Same went to the summer, thus leaving Autumn as the season that began the ending of life, and the start of things dying.
But for McKinley students, death was already with them.
On the football field laid a circle of flowers and candles, red and white candles to be exact. All lit beautifully with the dark sky that had only one star shining out.
Twenty seven souls, twenty seven candles stood outside on the football field. There were others too, family members, but twenty seven souls were affected more than the rest. In a perfect circle, holding a Virgil candle in their hands, the twenty seven souls stood and looked at the memorial they made.
His varsity jacket, his favorite sweatshirt, his favorite shirt, his favorite CD album, his favorite movie, his favorite childhood toy (toy train), his favorite video game box, his favorite book as a teenager, his favorite book as an adult, his favorite jelly bracelet. A list of his favorite songs. And pictures. Various of pictures in different frames.
Newborn baby frames, one year old and toddler years and childhood boy days. Pre-teen with single of himself, and friends and best friend and family. Teenage years during football games and competitions and school plays and a few of his graduation days.
He should of graduated twice; high school was done, but college was needed.
The Glee kids stood in their family circle, holding Virgil candles and arms hooked with one another. Tears shed, sobs were quiet. The only loud sobs came from his mother, which was understandable.
His girlfriend stood next to his mother, holding arms with her, and next to his girlfriend was his best friend. His best friend was the type to never cry, but he did now. The latina girl he lost his virginity too also cried.
His funeral was coming up soon, but close friends and family wanted a special funeral for him. Other students were invited to join along if they wished. The others stood outside the main circle, holding candles, and looking down for praying or up to find him.
His mom sobbed louder, his step-father held her. Next to his step-father was his step-brother. The two had some brotherly arguments but in the end, they loved one another like true family. They all glanced at their last family Christmas photo. Smiling and happy.
Everyone had a photo of themselves and the man they were honoring. A true friend, a kind person, always happy and seemed to be positive when needed.
Glee had already planned it out. A song that fitted the man they were honoring. In an acapella, no background music but just plain from their heart and soul message.
It fitted him.
Everyone
Just a small town girl
Livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train
Goin' anywhere
Rachel
Just a city boy
Born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train
Goin' anywhere
Everyone
A singer in a smokey room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching
In the night
Streetlights, people
Livin' just to find emotion
Hidin', somewhere in the night
Workin' hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice
Just one more time
All Boys
Some will win
All Girls
Some will lose
Everyone
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching
In the night
Streetlights, people
Livin' just to find emotion
Hidin', somewhere in the night
Don't stop believin'
Hold on to the feelin'
Streetlights, people
Don't stop believin'
Hold on
Streetlights, people
By the end of the song, everyone was in tears.
They lost a friend, a brother, a best friend, a family member.
But he didn't die.
He took the midnight train, going anywhere.
Took me an hour to write this because I kept getting depressed. I'm still depressed.
