On My Own~ Rachel Berry (Kurt Hummel)
After watching Blaine sing to "Jeremiah," Kurt walked slowly to his Escalade alone. He slipped in and plugged his iPod into its jack. He started the car and pulled out as the first few lines of 'On My Own' played.
"On my own pretending he's beside me. All alone I walk with him 'til morning. And all I see is him and me forever.
And I know it's only in my mind. That I'm talking to myself and not to him. And although I know he is blind, still I say there's a way for us." Kurt stopped his car and pulled his iPod out. He turned it back on and walked to his room. He acted out the lines as he sang and poured all his emotions into each new line.
I love him but every day I'm learning. All my life I've only been pretending. Without me, his world will go on turning. The world is full of happiness that I have never known. " Kurt stepped into his room and turned off his iPod. He flopped onto his bed.
I love him. I love him. I love him… But only on my own." That's when the tears finally came and came and came. It was around 10 a.m. when he had left the mall, it was now 7:30 p.m. As he cried he hadn't noticed another person come into the room and close the door.
"Kurt?" David asked. Kurt shot up and grabbed a pillow as he did. He shoved the pillow onto his face.
"You don't have to do that! I'm your roommate, so I've seen you in that green shit on your face." Kurt lowered the pillow.
"I know what's go you upset. I play dumb and clueless but I do actually watch what goes on around me.
You are in love with Blaine, aren't you?" Kurt let out a sob and nodded.
"I knew it! I knew that you'd fall hard for him. Come here, you look like you need a hug." Kurt stood and David pulled him over to his spot on his bed.
"Blaine got turned down and thrown out by the way. You just missed it. Jeremiah wasn't even gay! His girlfriend flipped on Blaine. It was great!" David laughed and he felt Kurt chuckle against his chest.
"Blaine is pretty broken up too. I saw him stumble over to his car and I don't know if he's even left the parking lot." Kurt poked out with a concerned look on his face.
"Wes will get him, don't worry. Actually, why do you care? He just broke your heart?"
"Because love is blind and dumb."
"Fair enough. But I saw your end to 'On My Own' on Youtube."
"What?"
"I think Charles had followed you back under Blaine's orders. He does care about you even if he is painfully blind."
"Shit!" David laughed and Kurt glared at him.
"Hey, David, Kurt, Blaine needs his best friend!" Wes called through the door. Kurt looked scarily to David and David returned the look.
"Um, Kurt is not in the shape to talk to anyone."
"I don't care! I need to talk to him!" Blaine yelled. David stood and motioned for Kurt to go into the bathroom.
"David, let me in! I need to speak with Kurt."
"He is unavailable at the moment. He has something happening to his face and he's got to do a new facial routine. It's going to take forever." Blaine didn't buy it.
"Fine, but he's not in good shape. He's heartbroken and you being here isn't going to help.
Oh, Wes, we need to go over the set list!" David gave Blaine a worried look before taking his buddy away.
"Kurt? What's wrong? Why don't you want…" Kurt walked out of the bathroom. His face was still puffy from crying and his hair stuck out from lying on the bed too long but he still looked beautiful to Blaine.
"WOW!"
"Just leave! You obviously are here to gloat."
"No! I'm here to… get over here!" Blaine motioned for Kurt to come but Kurt didn't move.
"Kurt, Jeremiah was just a ploy. He was my 'straight' gay crush years ago. Now, now I have eyes only for this pleasantly taller, junior, who's eyes aren't quite blue, green, or grey, who's fashion is top notch, and who has the voice angels are jealous of." Kurt looked dumbfoundly at his best friend.
"Really?"
"Really, really. Now you don't have to be 'On Your Own' anymore; 'cause baby, you're not alone cause you're here with me. And nothing's gonna bring us down 'cause nothing can keep me from loving you. And you know it's true. It don't matter what will come to be, our love is all we need to make it through." Kurt smiled and curled into Blaine's lap.
"Did you write that?"
"You bet I did, just for you."
