Here to Help
Sat watching re-runs of Glee has made me feel slightly depressed especially watching Kurt in season 1 and the first 5 episodes of season 2. So imagine if you go into the screen and enter their world...
Season 1, episode 1:
I help Kurt out of the dumpsters; he looks at me in surprise. The look changes to suspicion as I smile and hand him his coat and bag back.
"Erm...not that I don't appreciate your help or anything, but who are you?"
"I'm a friend, a friend who just wants to help and to let you know that it gets better"
"I'm sorry I think you have the wrong person"
"Kurt Hummel, only son of Burt and Elizabeth Hummel, you have the entire soundtrack to Wicked on your iPod, despite the stereotype you know your way around a car easily and you have a crush on Finn Hudson. No, I have the right person."
"Do you stalk me or something? I haven't told anyone that I'm gay, and more to the point you haven't even told me who you are" Kurt's voice gets slightly louder; I motion to him to quieten down.
"Look I know it sounds crazy, but honestly I'm here to help. Look in a year you'll meet the guy of your dreams, in fact he's only two hours away now. You can't meet him yet though, he's struggling the same as you except he has now found his salvation, it's the same you'll discover next year, but at the moment he's just adjusting to it when you meet him he'll be ready for you"
By this point we are walking to Kurt's first lesson, French. He still look apprehensive.
"Look Kurt I know it sounds like lies and I understand but overtime you'll start to realize and I'm here for you, whenever you feel particularly down I will be here supporting you telling to carry on because it'll be worth it, he'll be worth it"
He starts to smile at my last few words, we've reached his classroom, I know it's time for us to part ways and for me to come back to the real world.
"Thank you, I don't even know your name yet you know so much about me"
"It's nice to meet you Kurt, my name is Shannon. I have to go,' I see Kurt's smile falter 'but I'll be back as soon as I can ready to help.
"Thank you Shannon" He enters the classroom and takes his seat which for this lesson is at the front, he looks up for a second and waves.
"Au revoir Kurt"
Suddenly I'm back on my sofa in my living room in Manchester, UK. The sound of rain can be faintly heard over the credits for the show that just changed mine and Kurt's lives.
