Hi, I'm back finally. I have about two weeks of school before we have summer holidays so I can do a lot of writing :)
I had to change everything from first person and present tense to third person and past tense so if there are mistakes or it seems awkward, sorrryyyyyy.
Ps, I'm Australian so don't mind the spelling :)
And no, I don't, and have never, owned glee.
Kurt dug the heels of his palms into his eyes as he stretched his body as long as possible. He felt her soothing hand rub up and down his arm. "Kurtie? Réveillez-vous" Belle has been waking me up the same way for as long as I can remember. "K. Come on, time to get up." She always loved speaking in french but he doesn't understand everything so she can only say small phrases to him. Kurt yawned as he opened his eyes and looked up at her. Honestly, she's a human embodiment of a disney princess. But lately there had been something off about her, she was treating Kurt differently, sure. Like he's really fragile, going to snap at any moment. She tries to stay strong but Kurt knew it was actually harder on her than she lets off. Who is he kidding! Of course it is! She lost her mother for goodness sake! He reached forward and quickly pulled his sister into a tight hug.
"I love you, Belle"
"I love you too, K."
It was the day of Kurt's mother's funeral and he underestimated how hard this would be. He couldn't stop his shaky hands as he blindly tried to button my shirt but he couldn't see the holes because of the tears in his eyes. Kurt blinked aggressively and forced his eyes to become clear enough to see. He pulled his sweater over his head and smoothed it down, looking at himself in the mirror. He fixed his bow tie before bending over and tying his shoe laces. He tried to slow his breathing as he walked out of his room to find Belle there waiting for him. Once he saw her something snapped in him and he started bawling his eyes out. Apparently, the same thing happened to her. Burt walked out not long after to find them crying, holding on to each other as if they were each other's lifelines. He silently made his way over to them and pulled them both into his chest, letting out his own silent sobs. They've tried to hold it in. They've tried to be strong. But today isn't about hiding emotions. Today is about treasuring the life of someone really special.
Kurt didn't understand a lot of the words they were saying, most of it was in French. He looked next to him to see Burt, then to his other side to see Belle. They had both been crying, you can tell. But they felt the need to protect Kurt and not show vulnerability. The next thing he knew, Belle was patting his shoulder then gestured towards the front, it was their time to sing one last song for their Mum.
Belle lead him to the front and holds his hand. She breathed in heavily as her melodic voice filled the room
"I took the supermarket flowers from the windowsill
I threw the day old tea from the cup
Packed up the photo album Matthew had made
Memories of a life that's been loved
Took the get well soon cards and stuffed animals
Poured the old ginger beer down the sink
Dad always told me, "Don't you cry when you're down"
But mum, there's a tear every time that I blink"
Kurt sniffed slightly before raising his voice to begin to sing
"Oh, I'm in pieces, it's tearing me up, but I know
A heart that's broke is a heart that's been loved"
Belle joined me for the chorus.
"So I'll sing Hallelujah
You were an angel in the shape of my mum
When I fell down you'd be there holding me up
Spread your wings as you go
When God takes you back
He'll say, "Hallelujah, you're home""
Kurt could feel the warm tears rolling down his face as he looked over at everyone wiping their red faces looking at the pair empathetically. He started singing by himself then.
"I fluffed the pillows, made the beds, stacked the chairs up
Folded your nightgowns neatly in a case
John says he'd drive then put his hand on my cheek
And wiped a tear from the side of my face"
Belle began to sing again, this time voice shaking as she tightened her grip on Kurt's hand
"I hope that I see the world as you did 'cause I know
A life with love is a life that's been lived"
Kurt looked over at his dad
"So I'll sing Hallelujah
You were an angel in the shape of my mum
When I fell down you'd be there holding me up
Spread your wings as you go
When God takes you back
He'll say, "Hallelujah, you're home""
He watched the tears slowly make their way down his cheeks and it broke his heart.
"Hallelujah
You were an angel in the shape of my mum
You got to see the person I have become
Spread your wings and I know
That when God took you back
He said, "Hallelujah, you're home""
They walked back over to where they were sitting and Kurt hugged his Dad as his sister hugged their grandparents.
His grandparents, sister and Kurt threw their pure white chrysanthemums and stepped back as Burt gently tossed his one last, as they saw Elizabeth Hummel for the last time. His grandma pulled him into hug her as his grandpa rubs his wife's back and his dad cries holding Belle. "Goodbye Mum," Kurt whispered under his breath. "We love you endlessly."
Well, reading over that I really hate it but I can't change it :)
Song was 'Supermarket Flowers' by Ed Sheeran
