A/N: Hi. Here is the next chapter. I know it's a bit late but my brother came home and I didn't have time. I apologize for my mistakes and hope you like it. Thank you all the readers that still read.
I don't own Glee or any of the songs used in this story.
They went to the rehearsal room that was assigned to them. You could see on their faces that they were worried and nervous. They didn't think that they could find song good enough in half an hour. Mr. Shuester knew that now was his moment. He had to calm down his students and give them confidence.
"So, the first round went very well. I know that we aren't prepared for this but we can do it. You have to believe in yourselves. You are amazing! You have won Nationals. Just calm down and do your best. It's not the first time you're in such situation."
That helped a bit and they started to brainstorm the songs that could be used.
"Guys, slow down for a while," Mr. Shuester interrupted them. "When I hear your suggestions, I need to remind you the rules. First, Rachel, you will not sing a solo so you have to stop with the songs that you know and can sing."
"But I am the best singer here. I have to do this or we have no chance," Rachel was again showing her humbleness.
"Rachel, I won't comment your character, because I don't wanna argue. But the rule is, that anyone that had solo, can't sing now. So that means you, Finn, Sam, Blaine, Artie, Puck or I can't be on the stage. You should just come with a good song that one of the others can sing," answered Dave.
"Blaine is right. And we should sing something that at least some of them haven't heard. Something less known than what we heard in first round. That was one thing that the jury wasn't happy about," said Mr. Shuester.
"We need an amazing song that nobody has heard before. And who will sing it?" asked Blaine.
"I think the judges said about us that we two groups, singers and dancers. And that all clubs can prove them wrong in this round. It should be one of the dancers, but if we have song for someone else than whoever can sing it," said Finn.
After that they continued their discussion. But Blaine just sat in the corner with his phone in his hand. He didn't join them. After few minutes they got quite frustrated. No song seemed to be good enough. Rachel looked at Blaine.
"Don't you think you could help us?" But Blaine didn't hear her. "Blaine!" she screamed and now he heard.
"Yeah, what do you need?"
"You should help us find song. Not just sit here and write texts or whatever you do!" Rachel was pouring all her bad mood on him. But Blaine just gave her a little smile and his eyes went looking for Kurt.
"Kurt, can you come here, please?" shouted across the room. Kurt turned at him and went to join him on the chair. He gave his boyfriend a peck on the lips and asked what he needed.
"Kurt I think you have a song for the second round." Kurt raised his eyebrows but let Blaine speak.
"You know you sang me a song that you wrote for your mother I think you should sing it."
"But Blaine that song….." started Kurt but Blaine stopped him and said: "Just think about it. It is the song we need. And I know you wrote it and it helps you through the hard time but I think it could help other people too. In this song lots of people could find comfort in sad times. And what do you think your mom would have wanted you to do?"
Kurt closed his eyes and remembered all his memories he had with his mother.
Than he nodded his head: "Your right, if the others agree I'll sing it." Blaine smiled his biggest smile, kissed Kurt and stood up.
"Hey, I have a song I want you to listen to." That got everyone's attention. He pressed play and everybody in the room felt silent. They all recognized Kurt's voice but it was somewhat different. So full of emotion, pain, sadness, but also hope. They listened to the whole song and have tears in their eyes.
Quinn was first to break the silence. "Kurt, that was beautiful. What was that song?" No one knew the song.
"It's song that I wrote few years back on the anniversary of my mother's death. Nobody except Blaine has ever heard this."
"I think we have song for the second round. That's it if you are willing to sing it, Kurt," said Mr. Shuester.
"Yes, I'll sing this but I know I'm going to cry so I hope you won't mind."
Mr. Shuester went to report the name of their song. The host gave him the list with the songs. All other groups had already written their choices down.
Germany, Karlsruhe: Die Freunde - Whitney Huston: One moment in time
France, Nantes: Chanteurs - Katy Perry: Firework
UK, Cardiff: The Varsity singers - My fair Lady: I could have danced all night
Ireland, Cork: The Sound sensations - Mariah Carey: Hero
Canada, Edmonton: The Spotlight singers - Celine Dion: Taking chances
Australia, Perth: The Sound wave - Richard Marx: I'll be right here waiting for you
Mr. Shuester wrote the name of their song and handed it back to the host. He looked at it and stopped Mr. Shuester: "Wait! You have to write the name of the interpret too." "Oh, okay." And he wrote down just 'Original song'.

It was time for the New Directions. They all stood in the wings of stage and Kurt went on. He was still wearing his black outfit from first round. It was just him and the mic on the stand. The music started and one spotlight went right on Kurt. And he started to sing.
Always you will be part of me
And I will forever feel your strength
When I need it most
You're gone now, gone but not forgotten
I can't say this to your face
But I know you hear
I'll see you again
You never really left
I feel you walk beside me
I know I'll see you again
When I'm lost, I'm missing you like crazy
And I tell myself I'm so blessed
To have had you in my life, my life
I'll see you again
You never really left
I feel you walk beside me
I know I'll see you again
When I had the time to tell you
I never thought I'd live to see the day
When the words I should have said
Would come to haunt me
In my darkest hour I tell myself
I'll see you again
I'll see you again
You never really left
I feel you walk beside me
I know I'll see you again
The whole audience was in tears. The women cried openly and the men tried to fight the tears. They all remembered their loved ones that had passed away. The emotion in this song and Kurt's voice touched all of them.
I'll see you again
You never really left
I feel you walk beside me
I know I'll see you again
I will see you again
I'll see you again
I miss you like crazy
You're gone but not forgotten
I'll never forget you
Someday I'll see you again
I feel you walk beside me
Never leave you, yeah
Gone but not forgotten
I feel you by my side
No this is not goodbye
Kurt ended the song in tears. After the music stopped, there was a silence for a little while because they needed to dry their faces. Then the whole crowd gave Kurt standing ovation. Blaine joint Kurt on stage and hugged him. He whispered to his ear that he was amazing and his mother would have been proud of him as much as he was. They wanted to go backstage but the chairman stopped them. He asked where the song was from. Blaine answered because Kurt was still crying a little. They joined their friends and they shared big group hug.
The song is I'll see you again by Westlife. I like this song quite a lot so I hope you don't mind I used it.
So this is it I hope you like it. Let me know what you think.
