Prologue
Sometimes life isn't what someone would like to think it is, a perfect fairytale where somehow, despite all the bad things in the world, exists a happy ending.
Kurt Hummel learned that a lot sooner than he should have. He was only eight years old when his whole life broke in front of his eyes. His mother was the one who always understood him and stood by his side through everything. She lost her life to save him. That's his biggest regret.' Why her? 'was wondering him when the doctors confirmed her death. That's his question for the world since that fateful day.
He has always been considered different. From when he was little, he preferred to play dress-up with his mother than go out with the other boys. He's always been careful with his clothes and was shorter than most boys in his class. Those are only a few of the reasons his school life wasn't what he thought it would be.
Then High School came, and it seemed like he couldn't get a break from all of the teasing and the hard time he was having. As he grew up, his classmates found other reasons to make him question his existence on Earth, his too high voice, and his sexuality. Even if we would've liked to stay in the closet, he didn't have a choice. He was gay, and apparently, it was too obvious to hide. The homophobia in that high school was too high. They bullied him so badly that, for a moment, in his Sophmore year, he thought about suicide. The only thing that stopped him was his father, who put him to get into a club. The Glee Club in his school just got into the hands of one Will Schuester, the Spanish teacher so, he decided to try out. He loved to sing, and he knew he was good at it so, he decided that maybe this will be his shot to make friends. And he did, that choice completely change his life for the better until in his Junior year, that this neanderthal set his goal to make his life a living hell, always pushing him into the lockers, calling him names and throwing a slushie into his face. The end of the abuse was when his life had been threatened. He couldn't continue going to that school so his dad, alongside his new wife sent him to a private school in Westerville about 2 hours away. That's when his life started to have sense again.
It didn't feel like it at first. Being threatened and chased out of his school away from his friends certainly didn't help. Just the thought of going to another school where he'll be a nobody sends a chill down his spine. He was afraid that the whole 'no bullying' is just a lie and he'll go through a set of bullies to another. So to say the least, Kurt Hummel wasn't happy to step into the building of Dalton Academy that Friday morning. God, he would've wish to have time to drink his coffee. He was feeling like a zombie, just half alive.
His father put a hand on his shoulder as he lead him into the Dean's office. Even in his state, the boy couldn't ignore the way the place was designed to look cozy as well as professional. The feeling of the room made him feel safe so, for the first time from when he stepped out of his father's car, he relaxed his posture and started breathing normally.
-Hello, I am Dean Winchester and I am pleased to meet you. I guess you are Mr. Hummel? Extending his hand.
-Hello, yes I am. He immediately shake his hand. And this is my son Kurt Hummel.
- Of course, I am glad to meet you. I hope you'll enjoy your stay here at Dalton. Now please take a seat, he says sitting down at his big leather armchair.
And so they start speaking the details about his classes, him boarding there and things that Kurt didn't care to hear so he zoned them out. After a few minutes, they stood up meaning the end of their talk so he did the same. The Dean gave him a folder with a map of the school, his timetable, the key to his dorm room and other things that he'll probably never use. A name there is interesting though, his roommate 'Sebastian Smythe'
The Warblers are what their school consider 'Rockstars', always admiring them from a distance as if they're some gods they're blessed to have in their hallways. This couldn't be far from the truth. They may be behaving like they're some upstanding gentlemen when they have to but they are just normal teenagers who sing and wants to have fun. They are a family, ones closer than the others but in the end, they're united.
That Friday morning, the day where everything was about to change, this group of friends had planned an 'impromptu' song where they're about to test the qualities of their new lead singer, Blaine Anderson. He is a sophomore who transferred last year for some personal matters that he refuse to share. No one knows anything about him yet. He keeps to himself and it's very careful to not touch anyone. Still, Wes, his roommate heard him singing in the shower one day and practically forced him to enter their group. He never sang there as that the boy didn't even want to be in that room. No one questioned him, Wes told them that he was good, so they trusted him. Blaine swayed in the background with them that year and nothing more. This year though, the council offered him a solo and he accepted it. So that day was a big one because they will finally hear him sing, and they were sure to be mesmerized.
As they rush into the senior commons, something seems different than before. Maybe it could be the confidence from Blaine's face or the new boy with blue eyes who tries to hide in a corner of the room from his new roommate. Who can be sure of it? All they know it's that everything's about to change.
