A/N: Finally get round to posting my new fic. I know it's called A Very Glee Musical, but it isn't actually a musical :P... I just thought it would be a good idea to take the songs from AVPM and make a Glee Fic with them :)
Not sure what I make of this... So Please let me know... Chapter two is already written, I just need to know if you like this one so I can carry on :)
So... Here we go :)
Get Back To McKinley.
Underneath these stairs I hear the snares and feel the glares, of my cousin, my uncle and my Aunt... Despite all of my struggles, I'm still alive.
It was almost the start of school, and there was one Person who couldn't wait to get back. Kurt Hummel, wasn't like the other guys at his school. He didn't want to play football, neither was he into any other sport, he would much rather hang out with the girls and sleepovers with them and give each other make overs, and when he heard that this year there was going to be a Show Choir group forming he couldn't wait to be part of that. He had one of the most incredible voices, he could hit the highest notes and the lowest, he knew that he was getting a place in the choir. Despite all of this his days at school weren't too bad. They weren't his best days, but neither were they his worst. Nothing could be as bad as this summer. Or so he though.
He knew that he couldn't really wait much long to tell his dad, what happened if he had a boyfriend, what would he do? He wasn't going to be able to keep him a secret for long, not with his Step-Brother, Finn, living with them and going to the same school, so he decided to do the right thing, the brave thing and come out.
It was half way through the summer and Kurt wanted to tell his dad. It was something he had been thinking about for a while, but he never found the right time, his dad was always busy at the garage or Finn or Carole were around, he just could never find anytime to be with his dad alone. Until one day when Kurt came from a day out with Rachel and Mercedes, he found his dad sitting, alone, watching the football.
"Hey, Dad." Kurt called from the front door, letting his dad know that he was back,
"Good day?"
"Yeah. We went round all the shops, found a new outfit for Rachel for her date with Finn tonight." He quickly scanned the room just to make sure that no one had entered, "Talking of Finn, is he out?"
"Yeah, Carole took him out, said she wanted to talk to him about something." Burt twisted his neck as far as he could so he could see his son who was making his way to the couch, "Kurt?" He turned the football off, which was something that never happened in that house, but he could tell that Kurt seemed genuinely upset, or worried about something and he wanted to give him all of his attention.
"Dad." Kurt started, "There's something that I need to tell you."
"Kurt, what's happened?" Burt didn't know what to think was going on, the look on his face was worry. There was silence.
"Nothing's happened, Dad."
"Then what it is? Kurt, I can't do anything if you don't tell what it is," There was another silence, before Kurt couldn't stand it anymore,
"I'm Gay." There he'd said it. His dad knew. He's told him.
"Kurt. I know."
"What?" Kurt didn't know what his Dad was going to say, but that was not one of the things that crossed his mind. He'd thought that he was going to freak out or something.
"I've known since you were 5. All you wanted for your birthday was a pair of sensible heels" He laughed "But I'm glad you told me, Kurt."
So that had gone much better than he thought it would. He knew that Burt would say something to Carole and Finn would find out.
Just as he'd anticipated Carole and Finn returned and he could here his father talking to his step family, which was followed by a knock at his door, it was Carole, who just walked over to him and enveloped him in a tight hug.
"Your father and I are so proud of you Kurt. That couldn't have been easy. You know where we are if you ever want to talk." Carole released him with a huge comforting smile on her face,
"Thank you, Carole." She left his room and he slumped onto his bed, now all he had to do was figure out how to tell his friends. Rachel would no doubt find out from Finn, but Mercedes. How was he going to tell her? He'd figure it out, he always did. Kurt's trail of thought was interrupted by muttering he could hear coming from Finn's room. Kurt couldn't quite figure out what he was saying but he managed to make out the odd word.
"Brother… Burt… Fag…" Kurt knew he was talking about him, but who was he talking to. It was heard for him to listen to, he thought that Finn was different, and now there he was talking to someone about him, his brother, like that. Kurt knew that he wasn't supposed to hear that conversation but it didn't help the hurt, the fact that he was talking about him like that.
Carole called them down for dinner and Kurt had to make himself look presentable, he didn't want them to know that he had been crying for the past half an hour. At Dinner Finn announced that Puck was coming over for a gaming night, he didn't look at Kurt once, Kurt didn't think he had ever seen anyone eat so fast, and he raced back upstairs. It was like he couldn't bare to be in the same room as him. It was like he was going to catch something. Kurt was Gay not diseased.
He tried to be strong, but it wasn't easy with Finn and Puck in the other room laughing, He knew that he shouldn't and he knew that he wouldn't like what he was going to hear but he quietly left his room and hovered outside of Finns so he could listen to their conversation,
"I always knew that kid was weird, I mean we should of guessed he was a homo, look at what he wears, and I have never known a guy be so protective over his hair!" He could hear Pucks voice and Finn was laughing,
"I know! I'm so glad he has his own bathroom! Imagine!" There was a pause for laughter again, and tears were now flowing down Kurts cheeks like rivers, "I always had a suspicion that he was in Love with me!" Finn was now being deadly serious, "I couldn't stand to be in the same room as him, even when we were eating! I had to get out of there! What if he pounced on me!"
Kurt couldn't listen to this anymore, it was hurting to much. As if Finn thought that. Of course he wasn't going to pounce on anyone, that wasn't his style. Plus Finn was his Brother!
This carried on the whole summer, and he had to put a brave face on for his Dad and Carole, because he didn't want to show them how much he was hurting on the inside. He just couldn't wait to get back to school, although now he wasn't sure how many people Finn and Puck would have told.
Finally it got to the first day back, and the first thing Kurt did was head to the Glee Club sign up sheet, where he had noticed Rachel had already signed up. They both had plans to go to New York together and become huge stars, nothing or nobody was going to get in their way. On his way there he saw some guys from the football team one of who he recognised as Dave Karofsky heading towards him,
"Hey, guys! Look. It's Queen Hummel!" He shouted before slamming him into a locker, all of the guys from the football team laughed, and no one else around him took any notice, he just brushed himself off, and tired so hard not to cry and headed to his lesson. People were treating him differently, it was obvious that the news had travelled around the school. Okay, maybe this year wasn't going to be as good as last year.
Every day it got worse, the only good thing that happened to him was that he did get into Glee. There was only four of them, Rachel and Mercedes included, and there was another girl, who he didn't really know called Tina, but they were all accepting of him. Rachel had told him that she had spoken to Finn about getting the football team to back off. If only she knew that it was Finn who started it all.
As the weeks went on things weren't getting any easier for Kurt, in fact they were getting harder. Every day he'd get home and lock himself away in his room, come out to eat and then go back to his room. He was crying all the time, and he was fed up of it. Dave Karofsky was the worst offender, he couldn't walk down the corridor without bumping in to him and he'd either make some snide remark or push him into a locker. The broken boy was sure that he had gathered a collection of bruises all over his back.
He wanted nothing more than to curl up and hide away from everyone, but he knew he couldn't do that, he had to be strong, as hard as that was. At least he had his friends in Glee Club, he knew that was a place where he could be himself. Well that was until Rachel persuaded Finn to join. Great, the one thing that he actually enjoyed about his day and now he had to share it with his homophobic ass of a step brother. Was there nothing he could actually enjoy about his life?
"Kurt!"
"Yes, Finn?"
"I just wanted to say that I'm sorry, for you know. Saying those things about you, and telling the football team." Kurt was confused to say the least, one minute Finn was making homophobic comments and the next thing he was apologising,
"Why? What's with the sudden apology?"
"Since I joined Glee Club, well, people treat me differently, especially the footballs guys. I know that I don't really understand what you're going through, but I know that it's nice to be the one to be picked on. And for something, which I understand now, isn't anything you have a choice about. I could quit Glee anytime I wanted, and the teasing would stop, but you can't just stop being… You."
"Being Gay. You mean I just can't stop being Gay." As much as Kurt was grateful for Finns apology, he couldn't understand why he just couldn't say it.
"Yeah that."
So finally Glee was something that Kurt could enjoy again, and he could enjoy being at home without Finn freaking out at everything. They were becoming closer and closer and brothers and friends. Despite this School was still the same.
It was just a normal day, he was getting shoved into lockers and getting called all the names under the sun, but it was never till he saw Karofsky until he got really scared, and today was no different. There he was strutting down the corridor being followed by the same group of the football team as usual,
"What you staring at, Hummel! Karofsky stopped in front of him and backed him into the locker
"Nothing." Kurt whimpered
"Stop being a Girl! Oh I'm sorry, you can't can you!" There were sneers from the crowd, before Kurt heard a voice in the distance
"Back off him, Karofsky!" Finns voice was sharp
"Look, its Hummels Homo brother! Wanna go sing and prance about together?"
"Leave. Him. Alone!" Finn was getting closer and closer to them when they heard another voice
"Oi! Whats going on here!" It was Will Sheuster, the director of the Glee Club, it wasn't long until the crowd had dispersed just leaving Will, Kurt and Finn.
"You okay, Kurt?" Will asked
"Yeah. Thank you Finn."
"What for? They didn't back off when I told them too." There was hurt in Finns voice, Kurt could hear it and he felt bad for him, he had only wanted to help him out
"For sticking up for me. Thank You. I never thought anyone would do that for me." Kurt admitted
"You're my brother, and at first I know I was an ass, but I care about you. No one messes with the Hummel-Hudsons." They both laughed
"That's a bit of a mouthful," They both walked off laughing, glad of the relived tension between them.
I'll cast some spells with the flick of my wand, defeat the dark arts, yeah, Bring it on!... As long as we're together gonna kick some ass, and it's gonna be totally awesome!
