Chapter 1

It was a nerve racking day for the New Direction as they were competing for Sectionals. Finn was extremely nervous as Coach Sylvester was a celebrity judge at the competition. Finn was looking around the auditorium as they waited for the competition to begin.

"Finn, we just need to relax and sing our hearts out," Rachel told him.

"Yeah, I know but I'm just worried because my mom and her boyfriend, Burt will be here as well. They have been dating for a while and I think it's getting serious." Finn told her.

"It'll be fine, you'll see!" Rachel told him.

Finn was looking at the next section of seats across from him, when he noticed a familiar face. He was wondering where he knew that face from. He noticed the boy was very pale with brown hair, and he was wearing a uniform. Finn just kept staring at the boy.

"Who are you looking at? Rachel asked him.

"That boy looks familiar, like I've seen him somewhere. I just can't remember from where." Finn told Rachel frustrated.

"Hmm…you are right. He does look familiar." Rachel informed him.

The competition was getting ready to start as the Emcee was welcoming everyone. Finn's cell phone vibrated and he pulled it out of his pocket to see a text from his mom.

Good Luck, Honey! We are here for you! ~ Mom

Finn smiled at the text when he noticed his mom's picture on his phone. It was a missing person's flyer. The missing person was Burt's son, Kurt. Kurt disappeared 8 years ago. He looked at the picture and then at the familiar looking boy.

WHAT!? That looks like Kurt! Finn thought to himself.

"Rachel! Look!" Finn almost yelled at her.

"What Finn! What's wrong?" She asked him worriedly.

"Look at the picture and at the boy! That's Kurt!" He told her.

"Let me see!" She told him quickly.

Rachel took the phone from him and zoomed on the picture. She glanced at the boy and at the picture. It did look like Kurt but she couldn't see the boy's eyes to make sure.

"Finn! It does look like Kurt but I can't say for sure." She told him.

"I don't care, Rachel! I have to tell Burt! He needs to know! I promised if I ever see someone that resembles Kurt I would tell him." Finn told her.

"Well do it now before the competition starts." She told him.

Finn quickly called his mom.

"Mom!" he yelled as soon as she answered the phone.

"What's wrong, Finn? Did something happen?" she quickly asked him worriedly.

"There's a boy here that looks like Burt's son, Kurt! I mean really looks like him, Mom!" He told her excitedly.

"What?! Where exactly did you see him?" She asked him quickly.

"He's sitting across from my seat wearing a uniform!" he informed her.

"Finn, meet us in the lobby so we can see and make sure it is Kurt!" she told him.

"Okay, see you in a few." Finn quickly told her and hung up the phone.

"Rachel, I have to meet my mom and Burt in the lobby. I'll be right back." He told her as he got up and walked up the aisle.

Finn went thru the door looking for his mom as he paced in front of the door. He looked up when he heard his mom yell, "Finn!"

Burt was looking around as he and Carole walked to their seats at the Sectional competition that her son, Finn was competing in. He was always searching for his missing son, Kurt. He had to find his only child and he would stop at nothing to see him again. He lived in hope of seeing his precious child again.

Kurt's disappearance almost killed him but he knew he had to find strength to find him and bring him home again. Kurt disappeared at his mother's, Katherine Elizabeth's funeral, stolen on the worst day of their lives. One moment Kurt was clinging to his hand and the next moment he was gone. Burt was devastate but he needs to focus on the here & now and not the past.

As Burt sat on his seat, Carole pulled out her cellphone and told him, "I'm just going to text Finn."

"Tell him I said good luck, Carole", Burt told her.

"I will honey." She told him.

As always whenever he was in a crowded place, he looked around hoping to see his son. He was looking around when he heard Carole's phone ring.

"It's Finn." She told him

"Is something wrong? Is he nervous?" Burt asked her.

Burt could only hear Carole's side of the conversation but he was so nervous thinking something happened to Finn. He couldn't handle if something happened to him.

"Burt, we have to go!" Carole informed him breaking thru his thoughts.

"What's wrong, Carole? Did something happen to fin? Is he okay?" He quickly asked her as he got up and walked up the aisle.

"Finn thinks he's seen Kurt! He says he is wearing a uniform and sitting near him." She told him hurriedly as she practically ran up the aisle. "He's meeting us in the lobby so we can see for ourselves."

I need to relax and stay calm! It may not be my son! Just relax! Burt thought to himself, as he quickly looked around for Finn in the lobby. As he spotted him, Carole yelled, "Finn!"

Finn glanced up and ran to his mom and Burt. "He looks like the new flyer, Burt! The one you just got done! The one that shows what he looks like now." He told his mom and Burt excitedly. "Come on! You need to see for yourselves!"

Burt calmly told them, "We need to go and take a look without scaring him! Remember it may not be him!" Burt didn't want to get his hopes up again. Too many leads with sightings on his son, has taught Burt to take it slow and be calm.

"Finn, lead us to him." Burt ordered him quietly.

Finn opened the door and walked down the aisle. He walked quickly but calmly to the boy. He looked at the boy and seeing for the first time, his unusual eyes.

"Hey!" Finn told the boy. "My name is Finn. Are you competing today?"

The boy nervously looked at him and shyly smiled. "OH…hello. Yes we are competing today. We are the Warblers." The boy sitting next to the pale boy glanced at Finn. "My name is Wes. Is there a problem, Finn?" Wes asked him confused why someone would come up to them.

As Finn was getting ready to answer Wes, his mom and Burt finally caught up to him and stood next to him and looked at the boy.

"K-K-Kurt is that you? It's Dad!" Burt asked the pale boy.
