Chapter 4 – Never Alone in a Fast Car
Harry sighed and ran his hands over his face and through his hair; since going to Lima had he never felt so lost. Kurt's dad was currently in the hospital and had been in a coma-like state for two days.
"You look like someone that just ran over a puppy." Santana said sitting down beside Harry in the back of the choir room, they were the only ones there so far.
"I just want to help Mr. Hummel, I just don't know how. I mean I know how it just takes a potion and he will be up and about in no time flat, but I don't know how to do it. I can't just walk into Mr. Hummel's room and force the potion down his throat." Harry said; it hadn't taken long for him to fall for Kurt after he and Hermione had joined New Directions. Hermione and Santana had tried to make Harry man up and ask Kurt out, but the side effects of his past was haunting in the background every time.
"Breath Harry, you're cute but I don't really want to perform CPR on you. But the other thing I'm sure I can help you with." Santana said before kissing Hermione on the cheek as she joined them.
"You look positively green Harry, is everything okay?" Hermione asked reaching out a hand to feel if he had a fever.
"I'm fine." Harry said knowing Hahhhh
that he wasn't fooling either of the girls.
"Okay guys before we begin, Harry has requested to sing a song. Harry you're up." Mr. Schue said as he entered the choir room. Hermione had been the one that had suggested that he should sing for Kurt, even though the counter tenor had proclaimed he didn't want them to sing for him or his dad.
"I know you asked us all not to sing for you Kurt about how everything is going to be okay or that God is there to help and seeing as I don't believe in God I won't." Harry said and handed Brad the chords for his song.
"Never alone I'll do anything that I can do When you can't seem to find your way home You're never alone I'll do anything that I can do When you can't seem to find your way home When you can't seem to find your way home
When your hope has been broken
And the fear is unspoken but true
You're never alone
Like a dream in a child
Or a childish dream in you
To show you my love and comfort you
And when life gets too hard
To face on your own
I will stand as a light through your darkest unknown
I will walk with you
So you're never alone
Like a tear in the ocean
Or a star on a clear winter night
You're never alone
When the courage you needed
Has been all but defeated in you
To show you my love and comfort you
And when life gets too hard
To face on your own
I will stand as a light through your darkest unknown
I will walk with you
So you're never alone
Never Alone
Never Alone
Never Alone
And when life gets too hard
To face on your own
I will stand as a light through your darkest unknown
I will walk with you
I will walk with you
I will walk with you
So you're never alone"
When Harry finished and everyone were clapping could Harry see the smallest smile on Kurt's sad face.
"You're sure this is going to work?" Harry asked as Santana parked at the hospital.
"Of course I'm sure, my plans always work. Now I'm going to give you fifteen minutes before I'm going to call you, seeing as Kurt will have his turned off." Santana said. After a quick stop at the nurses' station did Harry use the short walk to Mr. Hummel's room to clear his nerves, not only was he going to be alone with the boy he loved but he was also going to trick him to save his dad at the same time. Inside the room did Harry find Kurt sitting reading a magazine in the chair by his father's bedside; Harry could see faint tear tracks on Kurt's pale cheeks.
"Hey Kurt. Can I come in?" Harry asked poking his head inside after knocking on the door.
"Sure." Harry could hear on Kurt's voice that he would rather have him stay away.
"Any news?" Harry asked softly hoping Santana would hurry up cause even though he loved Kurt was the idea of being alone with him completely nerve wrecking.
"Nothing yet. The doctor keeps saying his vitals are good and that they can't say much more before he wakes." Kurt said looking at his dad; new tears presenting themselves making Kurt rub his eyes.
"I'm sure things soon will get better." Harry said. Kurt's response was cut short as Harry's phone started ringing.
"Hello? It's for you." Harry said handing Kurt his phone.
"Santana? Why can't you just...? Sure, relax I'll be right there." Kurt said with a sigh and gave Harry his phone back; a spark ran through Harry sending shivers down his spine as their fingers touched.
"You would thing that someone whose mother works at the hospital would know their way around. Will you be alright on your own for a few minutes?" Kurt asked standing from his chair. Harry nodded with a soft smile and watched as Kurt left the room. Acting quickly Harry followed the instructions Severus had given him and sucked the potion into a syringe and with the help of the IV drop got the potion directly into Mr. Hummel's system just like Severus had said. Now all he could do was wait and if everything went well would Mr. Hummel wake later that night with no side effects of his heart attack.
Less than a week later was everything back to normal. Mr. Hummel was back home and at work leaving the doctors baffled at his quick recovery. Harry smiled as Sam did a little dance down the hall after his and Quinn's duet. Harry had chosen not to do a duet as the idea of being up front at Sectionals didn't sound that good to him. Santana and Hermione were going to sing in Glee Club later that day and he had yet to hear their song.
"You're sure that you don't want to sing with one of us?" Hermione asked taking a few of books out of her bag and placed them in her locker.
"Crystal." Harry said with a smile as he kissed Hermione's cheek and walked towards his next class.
"Brit-Boy seems happy." Santana said wrapping her arms around her girlfriend's waist and leaned her chin on her shoulder.
"He is just happy that everything went well with Kurt and his father last week, but the longing looks he sends Kurt's way is almost too painful to watch."
"And if he wasn't that stubborn I would have locked him and Kurt in the janitor's closet till he fess up." Santana said with a sigh, she had really come to love that boy and seeing him pining after Kurt and not doing anything about it really made her want to either kick his ass into gear or just hold him close.
"We simply fit together
Like a piece of apple pie
I will be vanilla ice cream
And I'll sing you lullabies
I will love you in the moonlight
And I'll love in the day, always
I love the time we spend
Like a watch from an old friend
I will help you keep your smile
Promise me you'll stay awhile
I will come to you in need
And I'll help you when I can, when I can
Stay with me
Promise me you're never gonna leave
Stay with me
Let's try to be the best that we can be
And take our time
We always joke together
Laugh 'til we're rolling on the floor
I like the way you dance around
When you're running for the door
I will come to visit you even
When we're old and gray, always
I love the way you make me feel
When you're asleep, I'll take the wheel
Make sure to call when you get home
When you're driving on the road
I will come to you in need
And I'll help you when I can, when I can
So
Stay with me (stay with me)
Promise me you're never gonna leave
Stay with me (stay with me)
Let's try to be the best that we can be
And take our time
I will come to you in need
And I'll love you when I can
I'll love you when I can
I'll come to you in need
And I'll love you when I can
I'll love you when I can, always
Stay with me
Promise me you're never gonna leave
Stay with me
Let's try to be the best that we can be
And take our time"
Everybody clapped and whistled when Hermione and Santana finished their duet.
"Really great you two. Beautiful, but I don't think it is right for Sectionals." Mr. Schue said.
"Just say that you don't think the judges will accept a duet by two girls." Tina said as Hermione and Santana joined Harry at the back row, sitting on each side of him.
"You're right Tina, but that is unfortunately how it is and if we want to win Sectionals we'll have to perform the songs that will please them the most." Mr. Schue said before letting them go.
Harry clapped along with the others after Mr. Schue had announced Sam and Quinn the winners of the duet competition. Harry knew that Rachel and Finn had worked on making Sam feel more welcome and had on purpose done a bad duet the day before, because there was no other explanation for Rachel not giving something her best.
"Mr. Schue? Harry and I would like to do a duet." Santana said and stood from her chair before Mr. Schue could get on with his plans. Santana had planned the duet since Wednesday afternoon where she had forced Harry into it; she had even gotten Puck and Sam to help by playing their guitars.
"But the duet competition is over." Mr. Schue said confused.
"I know, but that doesn't mean that all other duets are banned." Santana said and got Puck to help her place four stools in front of the others while Sam got the guitars.
"Well then, the floor is yours." Mr. Schue said and sat down beside Artie on the front row. Puck and Sam started to play and Harry took a deep breath before focusing on his friends.
"You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Anyplace is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
Me, myself I got nothing to prove
You got a fast car
I got a plan to get us out of here
I been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
Won't have to drive too far
Just 'cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
And finally see what it means to be living
You see my old man's got a problem
He live with the bottle that's the way it is
He says his body's too old for working
His body's too young to look like his
My mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
I said somebody's got to take care of him
So I quit school and that's what I did
You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way
So I remember we were driving, driving in your car
Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
I had a feeling that I belonged
I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
We go cruising to entertain ourselves
You still ain't got a job
I work in a market as a checkout girl
I know things will get better
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
We'll move out of the shelter
Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs
I remember we were driving, driving in your car
Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
I had a feeling that I belonged
I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar
See more of your friends than you do of your kids
I'd always hoped for better
Thought maybe together you and me would find it
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on driving
I remember we were driving, driving in your car
Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
I had a feeling that I belonged
I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someoneYou got a fast car
But is it fast enough so you can fly away
You gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way"
"That was beautiful you guys. Why didn't you do this for the competition?" Mr. Schue said as he clapped with the others who where all smiling and whistling.
"Because I wanted to sing with Hermione." Santana said before accepting a kiss from her girlfriend.
"And I would rather not be up front." Harry said with a shy smile as Hermione placed a soft kiss on his cheek.
