A/N: This is the first time I upload a story and I'm really nervous.. I hope you'll like it.
Blaine's brother, Coop, gets in the story later, just so you know ;)
A big "thank you" to my friend, Dora, who beta'ed this chapter for me.
Chapter 1
It was five thirty when my plane landed on Lima, Ohio. It was a long flight from the heart of London. I was really tired and all I could think of was a soft bed in a warm house, something I never actually had. I used to live in an orphanage for... well since I was born. I was miserable. All I ever wanted was a family and I thought I would never have one.
Thankfully I didn't just sit with my arms crossed. I talked to the women in charge of the orphanage and they offered to help me. Some months later they finally came and talked to me. They said that they did research and a family was eager to let me live with them. They weren't adopting me, I was just going to live with them, like foreign exchange students do... just without there being an exchange.
I said "foreign", right? That's 'cause the only family that agreed to let me live with them, lives in Ohio. The Andersons. A couple that has two sons. One of them is famous and doesn't live with his family, he's the older one. Their other son, the younger one, is my age so we are going to go to school together.
So here I am, getting off the plane in a completely unknown city, in a completely unknown country. I got off the plane and started asking random people if they were the Andersons. They all denied.
"Excuse me?" A boy, my age tapped me on the shoulder. I turned to face him. "Are you Lucy? Lucy Adams?"
"Yes, it's me," I replied. "How do you know my name?"
"I saw you looking for the Andersons," he said. "I'm Blaine, the younger son".
Now it all makes sense, I thought to myself. "Oh.. Are you here to pick me up alone, Blaine?" I asked him as politely as I could.
"No, I'm not alone. My parents are over there," he pointed at them. "Come on, let me carry your suitcase".
I handed him my suitcase and he carried it as we were walking towards his parents. "It is really light," he pointed out.
"I lived in an orphanage. I don't have a lot of things," I said, not wanting to sound like an impolite bitch, which I'm positive I did.
"I'm sorry," he apologized. "I know exactly the person that will love to help you with your shopping!"
"Do you mean yourself?" I asked, checking out his clothes. He wore a bowtie. Elegant!
He smiled. "No, it's not me," he said exactly when we reached his parents. "Mum, Dad. This is Lucy".
His mother gave me an encouraging smile. "Hello dear," she hugged me. "I'm Tracy. Welcome to Ohio!"
I smiled back. "Thanks for letting me live with you".
"Welcome to the US, kid,"Mr. Anderson said and patted me on the back.
"Thank you, Mr. Anderson," I responded.
All the way to their house, Tracy would not stop talking. She talked about everything. The house, my room, my new school, Blaine's friends. Everything.
"Mum, you'll scare the girl," Blaine scolded her, sitting next to me on the back seat of the car. She glared at him.
I smiled to myself. So this is what family is like...
"Oh Lucy, you can join the Glee club, too," Mrs. Anderson babbled.
"Glee club? We didn't have one in my old school," I said.
"Yes, Glee club is awesome," Blaine agreed. "We do songs and compete with other schools. Last year we won the National championship".
"Great," I said. "I will try out".
Soon we arrived to the house. "Make yourself at home," Mrs. Anderson said as soon as we entered.
It was warm and cozy. Everything I imagined a home to be.
"Do you want me to show you to your room?" Blaine asked quietly so only I could hear him.
"Sure," I answered and followed him upstairs.
"So this is Mum and Dad's room." he guided me. "And this is my room. I'll show it to you after I clean it up. You know how boys are sometimes," I chuckled at this. "And this used to be Coop's room. But now it's yours".
He opened the door to my room and brought the suitcase in. "Whoa..." was all I could say.
"Like it?" he smiled.
"Love it!" I answered enthusiastically.
"This is how this room used to be like when my brother lived here," Blaine said. "Even his photos are still here. We did some minor changes though to make the room fit for a girl. I helped redecorate," he added, apparently proud of himself.
"And who was the main decorator?" I asked curiously.
"The same person that is going to help you with your shopping," he said. I noticed that when he talked about this person his eyes were shining lovingly. I was suspecting that he was talking about his girlfriend.
"When will I get to meet her?" I asked.
He must have followed my thoughts. "It's a 'he'," he said.
"Well.. I don't.. I couldn't imagine that.."
"Well yes, I have a boyfriend," he explained. "I'm gay," he added as if hadn't made it clear enough.
"Oh, well if it means anything to you," I said, "it's cool by me. I'm not a homophobic person, nor am I a racist. I am not going to judge anyone".
He smiled. "You seem like a great person, Lucy," he said. "If you ever need to talk to someone, I'm here for you".
"Thank you, Blaine," I told him.
He walked to the door and stopped just before exiting. "Oh and before I go..," he said. "This school we're going to.. is kinda weird. Some people there... are total bullies. But you don't have to worry about it. I'll stand by you if anything happens".
"Thanks again, Blaine. For everything".
And with that he left the room. Yeah, that definitely feels like home.
