1- I'll stand by you
Summary- Chris realizes Glee is over, Lea, Amber, and Dianna comfort him.
Chris yawned, slowly sitting up and stretching his arms out until he felt slightly relieved. He swung his legs over the side of the bed before getting up and dragging himself over to his dresser to pick out his clothes for the day. Once he had them laid out on the bed, he went to turn on the shower. All while trying to remember what his work schedule for the day was. He reached his hand under the steady stream of water but pulled it back quickly from the burning sensation that stung the tips of his finger. He reached around and turned the knob slightly more to the cool side.
After stripping out of his clothes he hopped in, letting the warm water wash over him. Still unable to remember his schedule for the day. Maybe he had a reading with Lea, or a duet with Darren. Squeezing some shampoo into his hand he thought back to the events of the previous day, attempting to jolt him memory. They filmed the scene with Matt in the choir room because-
He froze. They filmed the scene with Matt in the choir room because it was the last episode. His hair was still foamed up as tears started cascaded down his face. He quickly tried to rinse the soap out but only managed to get half of it before jumping out of the shower, nearly slipping. He wiped his hands dry on a towel before grabbing his phone. All but bawling at this point. He called the first person that came to his mind. It rang three times before he heard a tired voice on the other end.
"Hey Chris, what's up?" Lea asked, yawning.
"Lea I don't- What am I-" He let out a sob.
Lea sounded much more awake now. "Chris? Oh my god, Chris! What's wrong?"
"It's over…" he whimpered.
"I'll be right over sweetie just hold tight okay?"
"Okay." He replied weakly.
"Love you!" She called before he heard the click signaling the end of the call.
Chris walked back to the bathroom, turned off the shower and gathered up his clothes. He put his pajama bottoms back on, not feeling like getting into the jeans he had laid out, before tossing the rest into his laundry bin. Even with the warm shower, he felt cold. Shivers ran down his spine as he sat down on his couch, pulling his legs up to his chest and wrapping his arms around them. He sobbed, he didn't know how long for, until he hear a knock at the door. He got up, wrapping an arm self-consciously over his bare torso before walking to the door and opening it, seeing Lea and Amber on the other side.
"Oh Chris baby," Amber sighed, taking in Chris' appearance. The half washed hair, the red brimmed eyes, the tears running down his face, the way he was shivering, and how small he looked. "Let's get you cleaned up."
Amber took Chris to the kitchen and finished rinsing the soap out of his hair in the sink while Lea waited by the door. "Chris sweetie." Amber cooed as she dried off his hair with a towel. She put the towel down and grabbed a tissue, attempting to wipe away the tears but more kept coming. Tossing the tissue in the garbage can, she led Chris back to the living room just as Lea was opening the door. Dianna appeared, and hugged Lea before turning to see Chris and Amber.
"Hey sweetie!" She said with a sad smile as she too took in Chris' appearance. "I brought ice cream!" she said, holding up a plastic bag before hugging him. Even though it was only a three year age difference between all of them and Chris, they had seen him grow up over the past six years and all felt very protective of him.
"Baby I'm gonna go grab you shirt, you're still shivering." Amber said, kissing Chris' cheek before going up the stairs toward his bedroom.
"Honey let's go sit on the couch, okay?" Lea asked as she walked up and wrapped her arm around him. Dianna came and did the same with the arm not carrying the ice cream. They made their way towards Chris' living room, sitting down on the couch, Chris had his head in Dianna's lap and his legs draped over Lea's.
Amber returned and Kurt sat up, moving his legs over the edge of the couch so he was sitting normally, as she slipped a loose t-shirt over his head and draped a warm blanket over his shoulders. She sat down beside Lea as Dianna continues to play with Chris' hair even with their sitting positions.
Lea grasped his hand. "Chris, I know it's a big change going for working all day every day one day, and then the next day it just stops, but you have upcoming projects and your books! You'll be back in to the workaholic groove you're use to in no time!" Lea exclaimed.
"And Glee will never be over, cause baby you are glee. Us and the whole cast will always be here, just a text or phone call away. I will always make time for you, Chris, and I'm sure the rest of the cast would too. We love you." Amber cooed, reaching across Lea and tousled his already messed up hair.
"Plus, you're way too cute for us to ever leave you alone for too long." Dianna continued. Grabbing a tissue from the box on the coffee table and wiping away the stray tears on Chris' face.
Chris smiled. These were his friends. Just because he wouldn't be filming with them every day doesn't mean they were gone or that his life would be any less hectic. "You're right," He sighed. "I guess it just took me by surprise this morning. You guys are really great friends." He leaned over, kissing each one on the forehead before opening his laptop that had been laying idle on the table and said. "Musicals and ice cream?" he asked, and the laughs he heard were enough of an answer.
Well this was chapter 1 I guess. This is really just a place for me to write down all the things I wish had happened on and off the show. I'm unsure how I feel about doing reader suggestions, I'll get back to you guys in the next one shot. My update schedule will probably be once a week to start, maybe twice a week sometimes, because I'm coming off of a very long writing hiatus. I'll try to make every chapter minimum 1000 words (like this one).
Peace Out!
