AN: I'm so sorry for not updating. Right now I'm working from a school laptop in Math class. I will update again when I get my own laptop at Christmas. Until then, the updates will be scattered, I hope you guys don't mind that too much, because there is nothing I can really do about that. Again, I apologize for the very late update.
The last few days had been nice. Really, they had. It's a shame that it had went from being at ease to tense. Finn had passed him some news one day via an email and it had caused Kurt's temper to flare. He snapped at anyone who tried to say something to him. He didn't want to hear anyone out. He wanted to figure out what the hell was going on at home. At McKinley. In Lima. Just not at Dalton. Things were great there. Things were falling apart at the seems in Lima. He was tempted to drive down to McKinley to talk to his brother. But he didn't want to do that. Not really.
After Wes noticed his foul mood, he pulled Kurt outside to talk with him. It wasn't like it mattered much, anyways. David and Thad could manage the group long enough for him to talk to Kurt. Hopefully. He was trying to put some faith in them, they just made it hard to.
"I'm telling you, Wes," Kurt said later that day at lunch while the group was outside. "Things are fine. It's just some drama stirring up my family. Again. I don't need to talk about anything."
"Fine then." Wes countered. "Don't talk. Sing. Find a song to let out some frustration or something and perform it this evening."
They'd called the emergency meeting that morning for some undefined reason, but the real meeting was that evening, as usual.
Kurt gave him a look. "Wes.. no." he said softly. "That's not a good idea."
Wes sighed. "Then do one that shows how you grew up, but do something to get rid of this frustration, please."
Kurt hesitated before he sighed and agreed to it. Then he got up and went to go find a song.
He ended up asking Jeff and Nick for advice on songs. So he would do the song that they suggested, Acadia.
At the meeting, after they dismissed the formal and were just hanging out, Wes told them that Kurt had something to perform. And so, Kurt sighed and got up, moving to the front of the room with the other Warblers watching him. Jeff and Nick gave him a soft smile when he looked at them. Jeff grabbed a guitar and started playing.
Kurt looked down, counting beats. At least he knew it. He felt proud of that much.
"In the house I grew up in, my room in the basement, the hours turning to years we spent. Remember Chris in the back yard, laughing so damn hard, and no one knew why, but the rest is forgotten, behind me Sometimes it reminds me of when we, we used to belong here."
Some of the Warblers smiled when Kurt looked back up and finally relaxed, actually performing the song, not just singing it. Jeff grinned from where he was playing guitar.
Kurt's eyes met Wes's for a moment before he continued.
"Ran out of gas on the highway, we walked there and I gave, drunken speeches on sobriety. Now we've all moved away and somehow became men, but I remember where it began.. Behind me, sometimes it reminds me, of when we used to belong here
