" Hello?"
" Hey Wes, it's Blaine."
" Oh hey man. Whats up?"
" Uh, I kinda have a favor to ask. Do you think you could get the Warblers together for an emergency meeting?"
" On a Sunday? What for?"
" I'll explain later. Just, um, hurry. Its important."
" Yeah, um, sure thing. Wait, where are you? I hear cars in the background."
" I'm on my way to Dalton."
" I thought you had gone home for the weekend. Blaine, is everything ok?"
Blaine sighed. Everything was not ok.
" Not important right now, Wes. Just, please?"
" Ok, ok. I'll get who I can get."
" Thanks. Really Wes, thank you."
" No problem, Blaine."
Wes hung up. Blaine put down his phone and turned his attention back to the road, the only thing keeping him from ramming into the slow car in front of him was a song that he had put on repeat. He couldn't help but join in on the chorus.
" And if you have a minute, why don't we go?"...
" Don't even bother, Kurt. I'm driving." Finn pulled Kurt away from his " baby". He pushed him towards his own truck Burt had gotten him for his birthday.
" But Fiiiinnnnn! I don't wanna make my grand appearance in that thing!" Kurt whined at his older brother as they neared the pick-up truck. If he were going back into hell itself, he wanted to at least look his best. He straitened out his white trench coat and fixed his top hat in the trucks mirror when he reached the passenger's side.
On the upside, it was nice to wear something other than a uniform on a Monday.
" C'mon, man. I promised Burt I would take you to school. He doesn't want you to drive when you're nervous."
" Who says I'm nervous?"
" I heard you pacing again last night. Its kinda freaky." Finn opened up the driver's side door and hopped into the seat.
Kurt sat down in the passenger's seat and flipped down the mirror to check his hair, like he did about seven times that morning. Finn looked over at him sympathetically.
" Everyone's really excited you're back."
Kurt nodded, not really paying attention.
" They, um, wanted to meet you in the courtyard when we get there. Everyone's gonna be there, so..."
" That's fine. It'll be nice to see everyone." Kurt tried to push away the fact that in order to get to said courtyard, he'd have to walk past the boy's locker room. He shuttered slightly.
" Awesome." Finn started up the car and pulled out of the driveway.
They boys spent the rest of the ride in silence. As McKinely High came into view, Kurt's heart started to beat faster. A sudden buzz in his pocket startled him. He quickly took out his phone and a wave of relief washed over him. A text from Blaine. Kurt opened it and almost started crying.
Courage. Don't ever forget it. 3
