I went to auditorium to recollect myself. Why was Blaine acting like this. I have seen him be many things but homophobic was not one of them until today. The sad thing is I felt even worse about myself ever since he ditched our friendship.
I sat down on the piano bench and started thinking about how Blaine and I used to be. I really missed our friendship. I missed the flirty duets and our coffee dates that weren't really dates. I continued to sit there in the auditorium thinking about what used to be when I heard someone move behind me.
I turned around to see Rachel standing there with Finn. I looked at Finn who looked pretty upset and then at Rachel who looked like she was crying.
"Kurt. Are you okay?" she asked. I just glared at her. Was I okay? Of course I was okay. I mean my dad passes away, I lost my best friend, and now I was being bullied by said ex-friend. Never been better.
"Rachel, I don't think I can answer that question without blowing up at someone so let's just pretend you didn't ask that. Okay?" I answered her dully.
Then Finn spoke up "Hey dude, do you wanna go home or I can take you back to Dalton to see your friends." Finn was becoming a great brother.
"Finn, one do not call me dude and two can we just go home to Carole." I answered Finn nicer than I did Rachel. He just nodded and we walked out of the auditorium.
When we got home, I called for Carole and my dad. Before I realized I called for my dad, it already slipped out. I finally broke from everything that happened that day. Between see my old glee club to seeing Carole I just couldn't take anymore. I dropped to the ground and sobbed. Finn walked over and hugged me in a protective hug.
I thanked him after awhile. Carole walked into the room and told us everything was taken care of with the funeral.
"The funeral will be tomorrow. Kurt can I speak with you for a minute?" She inquired. I nodded and followed her out of the room.
When we were alone she turned and asked "Do you want to stay at Dalton or go back to McKinley?" I was a little surprised by the question but in all honesty I never really thought of leaving Dalton. I liked it there, I was safe there.
"Carole, I want to stay at Dalton. I feel like it is my home and I have made some really great friends. Can I please stay there?" I looked at her hopefully. She nodded and the walked away. I went to bed shortly after since I knew tomorrow was going to be a long day.
When I woke up, I went downstairs and saw Finn and Carole sitting at the kitchen table. I greeted them with a smile and started to get myself breakfast.
After I finished eating, Carole and Finn got up from the table and we all went to the church together for the funeral. We all sat together and listened to friends talk about my dad. He was a really great man and touched many lives.
The funeral made me think of my mother's. The only difference was that my father was there for me with mom's. I felt oddly alone even with Finn and Carole there.
When we got to the cemetery, we buried my dad next to my mom. Once everyone left I stayed behind to talk to my mom and dad. I promised I would come visit more since I was going to be at Dalton. I would have a lot to tell them. I filled my parents in on what was going on with Blaine. When I got to the part about his homophobic comment I heard something move behind me.
"Hello? Who's there?" I was a little frightened. I looked around for the person who made the noise. I started to say good-bye to my parents when I heard the noise again.
I got up and started to walk toward my car. I turned around one last time to make sure I wasn't being followed but still no one was there. I got into my car to go home and decided to go back to Dalton tonight instead of tomorrow.
I stopped at home to say bye to Finn and Carole. They wished me a safe drive and that if I needed anything they were just a phone call away. I started my drive to Dalton.
I arrived at Dalton just in time for Warblers practice. It might be a nice distraction from everything that happened the last few days. I walked into the Senior Commons just as Wes was beginning to speak.
"Well, as most of you have noticed Blaine has transferred schools. Without warning or telling us that he was doing so. Now we are in a bit of a dilemma with Sectionals in a few weeks. The council and I have decided that we would like to have auditions for lead. Unless you guys have someone in mind you would like to lead." Wes paused and finally noticed that I was there. "Kurt! What on earth are you doing here? You know you don't have to be here right now." Wes walk over to me and pulled me into a bone crushing hug which everyone soon joined in on.
"Guys, I'm okay really. It's really nice of you to be here for me right now. It means a lot to me. And Wes I am here because I am a Warbler am I not? I am part of this team and I needed to be here as a distraction. But I want to warn you all of something. The Blaine Anderson you all know is no longer here. He has changed a lot within the last few days. Just so you know he is not the same charming, dapper Blaine we all know." As I finished speaking there was a cough behind me.
"Well, Kurt I never knew you had balls to talk about someone negatively. Who knew. I just came to tell you guys to bring your best for Sectionals since we are facing each other. I guess that means you have to kick lady boy off. Good luck boys." Blaine smirked and walked away.
Wes was standing next to me with his jaw dropped. "You weren't kiddin when you said he changed. What happened to Blaine and who stuck a stick up his ass? Let's hope that version of Blaine doesn't come back to visit anytime soon." Wes looked worried.
He then turned to everyone in the room, "Let's start practicing." We ran through some of our songs but they were just not the same without a lead.
When practice was over I started to head to my dorm room when Wes called after me. "Hey Kurt. The council was discussing who we would like to lead us to victory for Sectionals and it was a unanimous that we would like you to lead the Warblers." He gave me a big smile and patted me on the back.
"Wes. I don't- I don't know what to say. I'm not as experienced as Blaine was you know but if the council would like me to lead then I hope to live up to expectations. Thank-you Wes" I gave him an equally big smile back. The first genuine smile in days.
The next day consisted of classes and going to Warblers practice. When I walked into the Senior commons everyone looked up at me and became really silent.
"Guys? What's going on?" I asked nervously. Wes came over to me and pulled me aside.
"Kurt, the Warblers have decided to go to McKinley and say good-bye to Blaine. Now we all know he has changed but he was still on of us and a great addition to the group. I know he seems to be, well homophobic toward you recently so you do not have to come with us if it makes you uncomfortable but we were going to head out now." Wes look apologetic toward me but I just gave him a smile.
"Wes you are right. He was one of us and he did help me a lot so I would like to come with you." Wes nodded and we headed out.
We arrived at McKinley quickly and made our way to the choir room where glee club would be held. I knocked on the door and then entered. They were in the middle of dance rehearsal when we arrived.
I turned to address everyone "Hey guys. Sorry for interrupting but the Warblers lost one our own this week. He changed the group's dynamic and he changed me. Blaine, this is our good-bye to you.
The Warblers started harmonizing the song Somewhere Only We Know and this was the first time I was performing as lead. I was pretty nervous but Wes gave me a pat on the back and the performance was amazing.
Blaine stood up and walked over to us. "Can I talk to you guys for a minute?" We all nodded and walked out into the hallway.
"Okay. Warblers, thank-you for that song. The meaning behind it was beautiful but I have a question for you." Blaine started and slowly looked like he was getting mad. "Why on earth is Kurt singing lead? That is not a very smart choice for Sectionals boys. You should believe me when I say he has never sung in front of a competition audience before. I told you before what the right choice was and it was to kick lady off not give him the lead. What is wrong with you?" There was venom in Blaine's voice by the end of the speech.
"Blaine, what is your problem with Kurt right now anyway. Last time I checked you two were inseparable and now you're just being a jerk to him. Why don't you share what your real problem is so you can deal with it like a big boy and stop resulting to this childhood nonsense." Wes actually looked furious for the first time in his life.
Then I spoke up "Wes, it really doesn't matter. I have had worse and I made it through that. I think I get over that fact of Blaine calling me lady." Tears were forming in my eyes but my voice stayed steady. "Blaine, I don't know what your problem is and frankly I don't really care right at this point but the Blaine Anderson we all loved is gone. If that Blaine comes back then go ahead and come visit us at Dalton but until then stay away." I started to walk away but before going to far I turned and said "You better bring all you've got for Sectionals cause I won't lose." Then I continued walking.
