Beyond The Boundaries
Hello there! Long time no see! Ok, so if you follow me on twitter (odellcriss), you may have seen me live tweeting 'The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas', and seen me get a little bit emotional when I somehow managed to attach it to Kurt and Blaine. It inspired me to try and write a fanfiction based on this film, but with Kurt and Blaine in it. I have no idea how this will end up but I hopefully won't give up, lets see, shall we! In regards to my other uncompleted story 'Cover Story', that will be updated soon I hope, I have it all planned out. I'm trying to make this story as historically accurate as I possibly can but if it's not that great I'm sorry. Ok, here we go!
Warnings: I don't think there will be anything too triggering, like self harm, but there may be mild references to assault, but nothing too graphic. The main warning is that this story may be a little sad.
Disclaimer: I don't own glee or the boy in the striped pyjamas.
When you're a child, you don't often pick up on what you're learning, experiencing, doing. You go along with things, often taking them at face value. When faced with change, you often find yourself upset, but later may take this change as an opportunity for something new, a new challenge. Challenges often come with boundaries, however. Sometimes you can overcome these boundaries, which can lead you to friendship, love and happiness. But sometimes, however hard you try, you can't overcome these boundaries and you watch your goal, your joy be taken from your grasp, and all you can do is watch, and hope to God that your joy doesn't perish. A childhood is a kaleidoscope of thoughts and events.
November 1942. Myself, Blaine Anderson and my dearest friends Sam, Tina and Marley run through the streets of Berlin playing a joyful game of tag. We dodge not only each other but dark green rigid obstacles in the form of soldiers. They are everywhere! Not the sort of people you should mess with. Our backdrop is many tall buildings, with red flags hanging out of the windows. The flags have this weird looking symbol on them. I have no idea what it is, but it's all over the city, I'm guessing it's important.
"Blaine! Come in now! Your dinner is ready!" I hear my mother call out as our game fizzles out.
"Can Sam, Tina and Marley come too?" I ask.
"Ok then, you might as well all be here when I tell you the news." My mother replied. What news, I wonder? Maybe it's to do with this weird symbol and all the stern and scary soldiers!
"Lasagne! My favourite!" I cheerfully say as I walk into my home, my friends behind me. I take a seat next to my older sister Rachel. We don't have that much in common, at least not anymore. We used to sing together a lot but recently the mood has sunk like a lead balloon, so it doesn't happen as much. My mother takes a seat next to my father, who wears a smart uniform. Rachel told me what he does is extremely important, I'm very proud of him.
"Ok then, now that we're all here." My mother began. "I am sorry to announce that we must leave Berlin."
"But why?" I enquired.
My father responded to my question. "Haven't you noticed how everything has changed here, Blaine? War is upon us, and I'm a part of it. I'm making things safer for you; I'm one of the good guys. I've been stationed in a place called Auschwitz, and I need my family there in support. I hope you can be really grown up Blaine and understand this."
"I'm so sorry Blaine. We leave tomorrow." My mother reluctantly added to the sombre atmosphere. My mother and father quietly and discreetly left the room.
"I'm gonna miss you all so much! Never forget me, promise?" I pleaded to my friends.
"Of course not Blainey Days!" How could we forget you, with your adorable bowties and matching sweater vests?" Tina replied.
"You're a one of a kind." Sam added. Marley nodded in agreement, not being able to speak, she looked really upset. My heart swelled in a bittersweet way in awe of my amazing friends. I started to cry myself and brought everyone together for a group hug.
The next day, I got out of the bed I'd slept in for 10 precious years for the very last time. I sadly descended our staircase, taking one last look at our home.
"Come on Blaine!" My mother demanded.
I followed my family out of the front door and out into our car, far away to new lands and new opportunities.
I quite like how this chapter's turned out, I've surprised myself! I hope you like it, leave me a review if you like. Hopefully a new update should be coming soon.
I'd like to give some shoutouts to twitter users starkidgleegirl, lanadelcriss, klainefabray and sleepyagron, with which I had conversations about this and the film, so go follow them, they're all great people! Follow me as well if you like (odellcriss) I might pop this fic on my tumblr, I'm not too sure. I'm livwholikestv on there. Ok then, I'll hopefully be back for the next update!
