12G+ABAJ Ch.33- Views Of The Afternoon
Julianne and Kurt sat in their pajamas the next night watching TV in Kurt's living room. One of Julianne's SNL promos came on.
"Is that Amy Poeher in the back!" Kurt laughed.
Julianne laughed along with him, "Sadly, yes."
Burt and Carole stood and watched them from a distance, "He really likes her." Burt smiled.
"She's good for him." Carole smiled as she put her head on Burt's chest.
At that moment, the couple watched their son and the woman of their son's dreams get more comfortable. They lay on the couch horizontally with Kurt's head on Julianne's chest, and her, gently stroking his hair unknowingly.
"She's good for him." Burt smiled and kissed Carole's head.
The next day, Kurt drove Julianne to school. When school got out hours later, it was raining. Puck drove Julianne home, like always.
Julianne sighed.
"So, how's life?" Puck asked calmly.
"It's . . . some kind of wonderful." Julianne said; her statement sounding more like a question than anything else.
Julianne sat next to her window, just staring outside, watching the rain.
Broken windows and empty hallways,
a pale dead moon in a sky streaked with grey.
Human kindness is overflowing,
and I think it's gonna rain today.
Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles,
the frozen smiles to chase love away.
Human kindness is overflowing,
and I think it's gonna rain today.
Lonely, lonely.
Tin can at my feet,
I think I'll kick it down the street.
That's the way to treat a friend.
Bright before me the signs implore me:
Help the needy and show them the way.
Human kindness is overflowing,
and I think it's gonna rain today.
Lonely, so lonely.
Tin can at my feet,
I think I'll kick it down the street.
That's the way to treat a friend.
Bright before me the signs implore me:
Help the needy and show them the way.
Human kindness is overflowing,
and I think it's gonna rain today.
Rachel smiled, looking out her window at the world drenched in water.
There's somethin' 'bout the way
The street looks when it's just rained
There's a glow off the pavement
you walk me to the car
And you know I wanna ask you to dance right there
In the middle of the parking lot
Yeah
Oh yeah
We're drivin' down the road
I wonder if you know
I'm tryin' so hard not to get caught up now
But you're just so cool
Run your hands through your hair
Absent mindedly makin' me want you
And I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me head first
Fearless
And I don't know why but with you I'd dance in a storm in my best dress
Fearless
So baby drive slow
'til we run out of road in this one horse town
I wanna stay right here in this passenger's seat
You put your eyes on me
In this moment now capture it, remember it
Cause I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me head first
Fearless
And I don't know why but with you I'd dance in a storm in my best dress
Fearless
Well you stood there with me in the doorway
My hands shake
I'm not usually this way but
You pull me in and I'm a little more brave
It's the first kiss,
It's flawless,
Really something,
It's fearless.
Oh yeah
Cause' I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me head first
Fearless
And I don't know why but with you I'd dance in a storm in my best dress
Fearless
Cuz I don't know how it gets better than this
You take my hand and drag me head first
Fearless
And I don't know why but with you I'd dance in a storm in my best dress
Fearless
Oh-oh
Oh yeah
"Hey Rach!" Finn said, barging into her room.
"Oh, hey Finn." Rachel sighed, putting on a smile for him.
"What are you doing!" he asked, not really interested.
"Singing."
"Cool. I'm going to the movies, bye." he slammed the door behind him.
"Jules, can I come in?"
"Sure, Noah." Julianne said, putting effort into her delivery.
"Okay, what is it?" Puck said, and then sat on her bed.
"What is what?" Julianne asked.
"This." he said motioning to her. "What happened?"
"Kurt and David and Josh and Douche Bag and You; so much . . . boys." she sighed.
"Please tell me what's wrong with me and all of the other guys you mentioned. And who's Josh?" Puck asked.
"Kurt; moved to a different school. David; I don't even know what's wrong, he's perfect for me! Ex-Boyfriend Josh; he still loves me, and I want to be friends. Douche Bag Finn; he's not dead. You!" Julianne huffed and stood up, "You and Rachel! YOU PEOPLE ARE HIDING BEHIND A LIE! I KNOW she doesn't love Finn! And I KNOW you two love each other! Why the HELL do you people have to screw
EVERYTHING UP when you've got something good on your hands! You don't just let go and wait; most things never get handed you on silver platters. But, YOU jackasses. YOU! You people think you're being noble for waiting-I just think you're stupid. If you want something, GO AND FUCKING GET IT! Stop WAITING for everything to be handed to you on a silver platter.-And the next time you two bang, AT LEAST BE DATING!" Julianne groaned in frustration, then plopped face down on her bed. "Ugh, I hate people." Julianne mumbled into her bed.
Puck left the room, and without missing a beat, closed the door behind him.
