Little Brother Wes Chapter 47: Heaven, a glee fanfic

Part 47

Ma Trixie smiled as she woke up. She'd been at the hospital for a week now and when she woke up the first time it was to a room full of young men. Her Warblers, and every time she woke up they would be there… and all the flowers they brought and all the flowers that former Warblers sent her. Her room was starting to look more like a jungle than a hospital room and she was happy about it. She sent some flowers away to other people because she got too much, but she kept one flower from every arrangement she sent away and stuck the cards to them, so she would know who she got them from. Today when she woke up the sophomore Warblers and a few older boys were there. She smiled at them.

"Kim darling", she said and he looked at her.

"Yes Ma", he asked.

"Can you sing that funny Swedish song for me? The one you said were about boats?"

"Of course Ma", he grinned and got a guitar handed to him. "I've translated it now for you."

"That's good dear, please sing it."

He smiled and started singing:

There was a boat who told another:
"Why you look handsome,
We should board one another
Made for each other and
Keel a little
Like only boats can"
Badda bam bam bam bam
Badda bam bam bam

The other boat said:
"Of course I want to go cruising
Kissing your handsome front
We seduce each other in
A sweet free wind
Like only boats do
Badda bam bam bam bam
Badda bam bam bam

"And when we find cover
We can take the sails off each other
Lie a moment by a buoy
Ship ahoy
Rub our varnish together
Giggle for the better
Throw off our bondage
Become a bit daring have some fun
Oh oh oh"

"And then we can have
Maybe one or two skiffs of our own
Cooing behind us tied
To a navel string
It's a secret tow
That only boats know
Badda bam bam bam bam
Badda bam bam bam"

"We can find embankment in the marriage harbor
By a sea shore
Build us a boathouse where we can lie
And 'tar' each other's hide
Like only boats can
Badda bam bam bam bam
Badda bam bam bam"

Badda bam bam bam bam
Badda bam bam bam

Ma laughed happily while the other Warblers stared at the Swedish boy. He grinned an almost impish grin.

"Did those boats talk about having sex", Isaac asked.

"Yes", Kim said happily. "Basically they said that they would take a walk, kiss and giggle, seduce one another, build a house to lie in and massage each other and also having sex and get kids."

"That song is strange", Rob grumbled.

"It got censured in Sweden for being too vulgar", Kim said happily. "But what's vulgar about boats?" He grinned way too innocently but Ma was laughing happily. She enjoyed the shenanigans her boys got up to. She smiled as Kim got bombarded with questions. There was a knock on the door and Wes hurried inside with Mitch.

"Boys" she said and smiled. "What is the matter?"

"Ma, you have got to talk to Justine", Mitch said looking desperate.

"What is it", Ma asked. "What's wrong?"

"She is not behaving like herself", Wes said and sighed. "She's been all ladylike!"

"She's what?"

"She's acting like a real lady, like you always tell her!" Mitch flailed around with his arms. "She hasn't said a rude remark in a week!"

"She hasn't said a teasing word to anyone", Wes said.

"She hasn't used her beauty and body to embarrass people!"

"She's not cursing!"

"She's not getting rid of annoying little pests by cursing, taunting or hurting them!"

"She's gone crazy!"

Ma watched them in confusion.

"Isn't that a good thing", Ma asked.

"No!" Mitch yelled and grabbed his hair. "It's not Justine anymore!"

"Oh darling don't you worry, you will get used to it."

"No!" Mitch was looking desperate. "I need her back! I can't stand this! I'm desperate!"

"Mitch!" Wes said and grabbed his arm. "You'll hurt yourself."

"I don't care! I'd rather be run over by a bus than live the rest of my life with that woman! I'll jump off a bridge!"

When the words left his mouth he got two seconds to realize... that it was the wrong thing to say and soon he was engulfed in a big hug by the Warblers around him.

"I didn't mean it literally!" Mitch objected and tried to get loose.

"Shoo your vultures!" Wes said and pushed on the older boys. "Mitch isn't suicidal! But I'm tempted to jump myself… Justine is not herself anymore and it hurts not only me and Mitch but Austin as well!"

"What", Rob asked confused.

"He has no idea of what to do", Mitch growled. "She's not acting like the girl he fell in love with. It has only been a week but I don't know how much more he can take."

"Well what is she doing", Brett asked.

"Nothing and that's the point!" Mitch flailed his arms around again. "You know how she's cheeky and cocky and 'naughty' and suggestive? She hasn't said anything suggestive to him in a week!"

Everyone stared at him, even Ma, because Justine would at least ten times I day say something suggestive to Austin to get him to blush, smile or get him into a tricky situation. Example. They were walking by the classroom where the freshmen were about to hold a sex-education class. Justine had noticed and with a sigh she had turned to Austin.

"Baby something is wrong with my skirt", she had said. "Could you come with me somewhere to help me fix it, you can remove it and explore the sensitive areas."

Austin had blushed so much that time that he had resembled a tomato and the teacher had started yelling at them, she had threatened to give them detention and the Austin had apologized and had dragged Justine away and towards their next class. Justine had been smiling happily the rest of the day, Austin had blushed. He was now avoiding that corridor at all costs.

Justine would do similar things to Austin during Warblers practice but that was a secret agenda to that. She was trying to make him less focused so that Wes could steal the whistle. Austin was much better at keeping track on it and Wes usually got caught and sometimes fooled because Austin had been a sneaky bastard and gotten plastic fake whistles that Wes sometimes found himself having when he thought he'd finally gotten a hold of the real one.

"Well", Ma said. "Maybe it is for the best that she becomes more ladylike?"

"No!" Mitch said and shook his head. "It's the sign of the apocalypse!"

"Oh honey don't be so dramatic."

There was a knock on the door and Austin and Justine entered with the rest of the seniors. The seniors were watching Austin almost worriedly.

"Oh Ma it's so wonderful to see you", Justine said and walked up the her and gave her a hug. "How are you feeling?"

"I am feeling strong and ready for action", Ma said. She realized she just gave Justine a bait to use to turn her words into something… naughty.

"That is good Ma", Justine said and smiled, although it didn't quite reach her eyes. "Have they gotten the awful young man that did this to you?"

"No", Ma said and sighed. "They haven't gotten her."

"Her?!" everyone in the room exclaimed.

"Yes", Ma said and sighed again. "It was a girl. A desperate looking one. I think she was a junky as well and when she saw how little money I had she yelled that I was a horrible person and she shot me."

"Oh what a dreadful woman", Justine said and Austin groaned. "Stop doing that Austin you've been doing that all day. It is really displeasing."

"You acting like this is displeasing", Austin spat.

"Not now dear, not in front of Ma."

Austin groaned again and covered his face with his hands, he was desperate and riled up… but Jesse ignored this.

"I kind of like this new you", he told Justine and smiled at her in a flirty way, just to annoy the hell out of Austin. "Makes you even more beautiful and attractive now that I know you really are a lady."

"Aw thank you Jesse", she answered with fake mirth and everyone waited for the verbal-bashing… but it didn't appear. Ma cocked an eyebrow. This was not the girl she knew and loved.

"Justine", she said softly.

"Yes Ma", the girl said and looked at her, she was sitting on the bedside.

"How many times have you tried to make Austin blush today?"

"None at all, it is not proper of a young lady to try to embarrass her man."

Austin made a noise that sounded like a cross between a frustrated yell and a devastated one.

"Honey that really isn't becoming of you", Justine scolded him.

"I don't care if it's becoming!" Austin snapped. "I can't take this anymore!"

"Can't take what", Justine asked.

"You!"

"Me?"

"Yes you! I can't take you anymore!"

Had Justine been her real self she would've answered back something like: "Oh baby you can take me anywhere, just make sure we stay a bit quiet."

But now she just sighed.

"I am just trying to be a proper lady", she said.

"Well that's not the reason I wanted to go out with you", Austin yelled and they all looked at him. "I wanted to go out with you because I love you, the real you. The sassy, witty, 'naughty', suggestive and totally awesome you. I don't know what's gotten into you or who the girl is in front of me but it's not you Justine!"

"It is me", she mumbled.

"No it's not and don't you dare try to tell me otherwise!" She looked at him. "Justine I know you. I know when you are truly happy or when you are truly sad. I know how to make sure you don't get hurt and I know how to take care of you when angry. But this, this I can't handle. You are making me crazy acting as something you are not! You're not a 'lady'!"

"Excuse me", Justine asked looking hurt.

"You are an amazing woman. Stop trying to be something you are not! You're already perfect and this 'ladylike behavior' is not perfect on you! It doesn't suit you at all! You're unhappy and you're hurting."

"Why are you doing this now?"

"Because I can't take it! I was hoping Ma or Mitch could help getting some sense into you! Mitch has tried but Ma encourage it! I want my Justine back because this faulty replica of her is not the girl I love!"

"This is the new me", she said.

"Then I hope the new you are happy with your choices because if this is who you want to be I don't want any part of it."

They all stared as he got to the door.

"Austin", Justine asked shocked. He stopped and turned back to look at her.

"When my Justine comes back", he said. "Let me know okay, until then… I don't want to be anywhere near you."

Austin walked out and everyone stared in shock, even Jesse. He had never imagined something like that could happen.

"Whoa", he said.

"Boys", Ma ordered. "Get out."

"What", Joseph asked.

"Joseph you go find your best friend, the rest of you leave. I think I need to have a little talk with Justine."

Justine was looking at her lap, tears slowly trickling down her cheeks. Mitch nodded and helped usher the other boys out.

"Austin calm down you're gonna make yourself sick", Joseph said. The senior Warblers and the sophomores, added Wes and Mitch, watched their leader pace back and forth in the park. He was pale and had dark rings around his eyes.

"Yeah man", William said. "This is not like you."

"Just leave me the hell alone", Austin spat and continued to pace.

"You're going to wear a hole in the ground", Jesse taunted slightly.

"Good, maybe it can be my grave."

"Don't talk like that", Mitch scolded him.

"Sorry…"

"No you're not."

Austin groaned again. Mitch gave Wes a look and the younger boy whined before hurrying up to Austin. He paced beside him, just looking at him.

"Can you please stop that", Wes asked.

"No", Austin answered and Wes got in front of him, he had to walk backwards while Austin just kept on pacing. "Move."

"No, please stop pacing and sit down", Wes said.

"No."

"For my sake please?"

"No get it through your head!"

"Pretty please?"

"Look here", Austin said and looked up… and regretted it at once. He had looked straight into Wes' puppy-eyes. "Now that's not fair!"

The boys around them laughed.

"Can you please sit down", Wes asked again. "Pretty please?"

Austin groaned and looked away but the damage was already done, there was no one that could withstand those damn puppy-eyes Wes had in his arsenal. Austin was getting desperate but Wes just kept looking at him in the same way.

"Gah!" Austin then exclaimed and sat down on a park bench. Wes smirked and brushed off his shoulders. Joseph hurriedly sat down beside Austin and put an arm around his shoulders, to help keep him sitting down. Malcolm had the same idea, together he and Joseph was pressing Austin down on the bench with their arms, keeping him in place.

"Will you get a grip now", Jesse asked in annoyance. "Ow!"

"Shut up", Wes said after hitting Jesse on the arm.

"But ow!" Rob hit him this time. "Will ow!" This time it was Roger. "I'm just yaow!" Reed.

"Be quiet", all seniors but Austin yelled at him and Jesse rubbed his aching arms and shoulders.

"I just wanna know when he's gonna man up and YAOW!" Jesse had began talking again but Matt, Tom, William and Reed hit him again. "Stop that!"

"Stop talking then!" Reed barked and Jesse grumbled something. By now Joseph was hugging his best friend while rubbing his back and the others could see Austin's eyes dropping. He was exhausted.

"We can't have him fall asleep here", Malcolm whispered. "He'd get sick!"

"Let's get him back to Dalton and into a bed", Joseph said and he, Malcolm, Rob and Reed got Austin up and lead him towards the cars. The others followed.

While all this was going on Ma was comforting a crying Justine. She was holding the girl's hand as she sobbed. The girl was hurting and upset and Trixie could see that.

"Now, now dear don't you worry, he'll come around", she soothed. "He loves you too much to leave you."

"He… he just loves the old me", Justine sobbed. "The real me."

"Yes the real you, so why aren't you the real you?"

"Because… Because I promised that if you were okay I'd be a lady from now one, like you always tell me. 'Be more ladylike.'"

"Oh honey I am sorry, I didn't mean to try to force you to become something you don't want to be."

"But… But you always scold me when I don't act like a proper lady and… and you liked this change."

"Maybe", Ma said and sat up a bit. "But you should not change yourself to make me happy, I don't matter that much."

"Yes you do Ma", Justine sobbed. "Other than my stepmom you are the only woman to openly accept me for what I am."

"I don't accept you for what you are dear", Ma said and squeezed Justine's hand with a soft smile on her lips. "I accept you for who you are and when I tell you to be more ladylike it is just in good fun, true I dislike some sexual jokes you do to embarrass the boys but the rest is amazing. I am not a proper lady myself you know."

"Ma you are a proper lady, you're an angel."

"Oh all of my boys and you say that but I am not. If I was my biological family would be here but they are not."

"Well if they gave up on you it's their loss", Justine sniffled. "We all love you."

"And I love all of you, unladylike and all. Now will you be so kind as to become my Justine again and work things out with Austin? The poor dear was completely exasperated."

Justine looked at her knees and held her skirt in a tight grip.

"He hates me", she mumbled.

"No dear he hates who you tried to be", Ma said and held her hand. "He loves you or else he would not have tried so hard to change you back."

"He walked out on me", Justine said and felt the tears start to pour down her cheeks.

"Come here darling", Ma said and held her arms open and Justine got into her arms. They would work this out. She was sure of it.

Wes jumped sky-high when his phone started ringing in the middle of the little meeting the Warblers were having to discuss their biggest problem, the woman posing as Justine. He looked at the person calling and it said Michael A.

"Michael A", Wes mumbled. "Oh Michael!"

He hurriedly answered.

"Hi Michael what's up", he asked.

"You are gonna love me after today", Michael said happily.

"I've always loved you, now what's up?"

"Put me on speaker?"

Wes followed orders.

"Guys say hi to Michael", he said.

"Hi", everyone said and they could hear on Michael's voice as he spoke that he was very smug.

"Why hello dear Warblers", he said.

"What have you done", Joseph asked.

"Oh nuffin… other than giving the police of Westerville a clue that will lead them to the woman that shot Ma."

"WHAT?!" 28 voices shouted at the same time.

"Yeah my connections told me a name, I called Mark and he called the Westerville PD."

"You have got to be joking", Reed said. "How did you manage that?!"

"Meh I have connections on the dark side of the force."

"Oh shut up", Joseph said. "So… they got here?"

"Mark told me they went to get her. You don't sound too surprised about it being a woman."

"No Ma told us", Kim clarified. "So how exactly did you find that bitch?"

"That is my little secret", Michael answered. "Aw shoot I need to go my professor is giving me evil looks. I swear that man is Satan!"

He hung up before they could get any further. Then there was a knock on the door and they all looked up to see a sad looking blonde girl enter. Mitch hurried up to her and hugged her.

"You okay honey", he asked and Justine shook her head while hugging him. "It will be okay."

"No because Austin hates me… you hate me too."

"I don't hate you, you just frustrates me. Will you please tell me why you changed into a Not-Justine girl?"

"Because… I promised Ma that if she was okay I'd be more ladylike… because she always tells me."

"But… you shouldn't-"

"I know. Ma already talked to me about it… so where's Austin?"

"Asleep", Joseph said.

"Dead to the world", the Everetts said.

"Come on", Mitch said and took her hand. "Let's go get you and your man together again."

He dragged her out of the room and when some boys were about to follow Joseph whistled and they turned to him.

"Leave them alone", he said. "Austin and Justine need to work this out on their own."

Austin felt someone snuggle up to him and opened his eyes. He saw Justine looking back at him.

"Before you say anything", she said. "I love the fact that you sleep in just your boxers and a t-shirt, makes it easier to get you naked."

Austin smiled gently.

"What happened to being a real lady", he asked.

"I can be a lady when I'm old and grey… right now I just want to be the girl you fell in love with because that's the real me."

"Oh?"

"Yes… I love you."

"I love you too, the real you. But if you are just doing this for my sake then-"

"I'm not… I talked to Ma and she said I should not try to be all ladylike just because she wants me to… she wants me to be me all witty, sexy, mischievous and 'naughty'."

"I like that", Austin said.

"I… I have something to sing to you."

"Oh?"

"Yes so just shut your mouth until I can put it to better use and listen."

Austin smiled but followed orders and Justine took his hand and sang softly:

Oh, thinkin' about all our younger years
There was only you and me
We were young and wild and free
Now nothin' can take you away from me
We've been down that road before
But that's over now
You keep me comin' back for more

Baby you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven

Justine choked up a bit but Austin took her hand and put his other to her cheek to wipe her tears away and took over the singing:

Austin: Oh, once in your life you find someone
Who will turn your world around
Bring you up when you're feelin' down
Yeah, nothin' could change what you mean to me
Oh, there's lots that I could say
But just hold me now
'Cause our love will light the way

Both: I've been waitin' for so long
For somethin' to arrive
For love to come along
Now our dreams are comin' true
Through the good times and the bad
Yeah, I'll be standin' there by you

After they sang the last word they kissed and Justine then started sobbing because she was so happy. Austin just held her and soon both of them fell asleep. While a young woman in Westerville was running from the police but got stopped by a giant cop stepping out in her way. She was caught and would be hold responsible for what she did.

TBC See I'm a nice person! Kinda...
