Chapter 5.
"Layne? Are you okay? You just got really pale.." Carey said, worry crossing her face. Layne shook her head, nodding in the direction of Kellan. "T-That's him. That's Kellan. He and I...We went to school together. We were...close. Kellan..messed me up pretty badly. He spent 6 months in jail while I spent 6 months in the hospital." As she spoke, her eyes never waivered from the grinning boy at the front of the class. "This is Kellan Von Guerry." Miss Pillsbury said with a small smile. "Nice to meet you Kellan. If you would, please take that vacant seat by back there." Mr. Patricks gestured to the seat directly in front of Layne. "No...no, please no." She murmured quietly as he walked back and sat down. Kellan turned around, a gigantic smile overtaking his face, "Hey Layniecakes! It's so good to see you again. I can't wait to rebuild our friendship." His words made Layne's insides freeze. Carey just stared at him, placing a comforting hand on her new friends shoulder.
The end of class bell went off, interrupting Layne's fifth period science quiz. Layne and Carey stood up, joining the crowd rushing for the lunchroom. Throughout the morning, Layne had given Carey her entire backstory, from Westmoore to this morning. She didn't see Kellan very much, but when she did her stomach knotted up and her heart stopped beating. He seemed to have fallen in with the older jocks. They all wolf-whistled as the pair walked past, making Carey scoff, "Pigs. They're all absolutely DISGUSTING. And the two sitting on either side of Kellan. They're the lead hogs; Azimo and Karovsky." She rolled her eyes at them as they made it to her now full trashcan-side lunch table. Mercedes and Rachel sat harmonizing and arguing over who was the better singer, Finn and Puck sat next to them, talking nonstop about their new football coach, Coach Beiste, Kurt sat next to the boys but with another boy to his other side. The boy had unruly, curly, dark hair and pink sunglasses resting atop his head. The boy looked up and smiled an all too familiar smile at her and screamed "SURPRISE!"
"Blaine? What're you doing here?" Layne said, taking the seat nearest him and giving him a tight hug. " I had mom call in and say we had a big family emergency and I needed to come home ASAP. They excused me from all of my classes." Blaine smiled, looking around the table at the unfamiliar faces he was surrounded by. " I'm so glad you're here," Layne said with a goofy smile," This is Rachel Berry, Mercedes Jones, Finn Hudson, Noah Puckerman, Carey LaMonte, And of course, Kurt." Blaine shook all of their hands as his baby sister introduced them all. Kurt paled as Layne introduced him. Confused, They all turned around to see Azimo, Karovsky, and Kellan making their way over to their lunch table.
"Hey Layniecakes!" Kellan said with a crooked smile, "I just wanted to see if maybe you wanted to come sit with us today." He locked his fierce eyes on her and extended his hand. "You can bring your cute little blonde friend too." One of the thickheaded hogs said with a snicker. The girls looked away from them and muttered unenthused no thank-yous in their direction. "Uhm, that wasn't really a question, Freshmeat." The other jock whispered to Carey and Layne. then, someone slapped the table,"Karovsky, lay off!" Kurt screamed, his icy eyes hardening. Karovsky took a few steps towards Kurt, smiling crazily, "And..What if I don't?" He murmured, staring intently at the significantly smaller boy shaking slightly in front of him.
"David!" A voice yelled. The jock peeled his eyes from Kurt and stared darkly at the owner of the voice. The girl was tall with choppy looking black hair and fierce grey eyes. She was very lanky and definitely not the type to stand up to a Jock. "I think you should back away from them, David." The girls eyes never waivered from Karovsky as she spoke. He looked at her, scanning her eyes for some sign of weakness. "David.." She said, her voice now steely and cold. Karovsky took a few steps towards her, but just charged past her, bumping her roughly when he passed her. " C'mon, let's go." He said to Azimo and Kellan. Kellan shook his head and bent forward. Inches from Laynes' ear, he whispered, "Laynie, I've changed. Please, just give me a chance." Kellan put a hand on her shoulder, "Please." Blaine stood up at this, looking more angry than Layne had ever seen him look. " You. Get. The. HELL. Away. From. My. Sister." He said, clenching his fists. Kellan took one look at Blaine and smiled, unfazed by the brothers definitely unkind expression, "Blaine," He said casually, as if they were very close friends,"It's great to see you..And Laynie, please think about what I just said." With those words, Kellan walked away, leaving the Anderson siblings and their friends deeply confused.
The pale girl who had just defeated Karovsky sat down next to Carey, trembling. " Their auras' were dark..I couldn't let them hurt you guys." She mumbled. Kurt beamed at her, grabbing her hand, "How in the world did you do that?" He asked, still shaking just a little bit. "Unfortunately, David and I are Step-siblings...through marriage. My mom married his dad and now I'm stuck living with a spawn of Satan! Do you know how hard it is? Not being able to exorcise him? I always have to carry holy water with me, just in case!" Everyone at the lunch table looked utterly creeped out, save for Layne and Blaine, who were used to things like this. "Who are you anyways?" Finn asked from across the table, looking at her. The girl smiled, " Mona Leeza White." She replied, studying Finn with curious eyes. Those eyes soon flickered over to Layne,"..That Kellan kid, He...There's something off about him. Something that doesn't feel human. All through Algebra, he scribbled in his notebook. From what I could see, your name was mentioned quite a bit." Mona looked at all of the confused and somewhat horrified faces around her as the bell rang. Layne rose to look at Blaine, who still looked as if he was going to punch the nearest jock to them. "I've gotta take you to the choir room..Schue said you could stay in there." Layne said, leading her brother to the choir room silently. "I'll be back later. Have fun.." She said, sniffling and trying to blink away the tears. Blaine said nothing, all he did was pull her into a much needed hug.
Layne walked into Spanish just before the bell rang, staring directly a her feet. Her eyes were stinging with tears that just needed to fall. She took her seat next to Kurt, still staring at her feet. Kurt looked at her and placed his hand on her arm, silently telling her everything was going to be okay. Layne found herself unable to listen to the lesson when Kellan was staring at her three desks away. Before she knew it, She was sitting in History with Carey and Mona, listening to the rules on this group project. "I want to know about this Kellan guy. Everytime he's mentioned, I get all of these mixed up emotions, hate, saddness, hurt, fright...I...I just wanna know..If you're okay with telling me." Mona asked, staring intently at the floor. Layne cast a quick glance to Carey, who nodded. "Well. It all started quite a few months ago...I guess that is the best way to explain the feelings you are receiving." Layne said, folding her arms.
"Kellan was my...boyfriend. He and I sang lead in the Westmoore Glee Club. At this time, both of my brothers and my best friend had left to go to Dalton Academy For Boys, leaving me with Kellan. Well, One day, he decided that we should practice our songs for Sectionals during lunch. He led me to the music room and we practiced our entire routine, choreography and all. He got this weird, crazy look in his eye and he smiled at me. Next thing I knew..He had pushed me down the back stairway, yelling loudly about something I couldn't hear...i woke up in the hospital a week and a half later...I remained there for almost 6 months." Layne finished her story as they were dismissed early. The trio walked to the choir room in silence, Mona with a deathly horrified look on her face.
Carey opened the door, not knowing who was in the room playingthe piano. Layne peeked in. Sitting behind the piano in the middle of the room was Blaine, lost in the music. His fingers delicately travelled over the keys. The girls moved in silently, careful not to make any noise. He continued to play for a while, melodies of his own making. He abruptly stopped after a familiar melody, possibly thinking of what he wanted to play next. Layne stood up and walked over to the piano bench, taking a seat next to him. "Let's try this.." She muttered, placing her hands on the piano and beginning to play. Blaine looked at her and smiled, beginning to sing just as the class bell sounded.
Somewhere out there
beneath the pale moonlight
someone's thinking of me and loving me tonight.
He glanced at his sister, giving her a goofy smile. This cheered her up immediately, taking a breath as she began;
Somewhere out there
someone's saying a prayer
that we'll find each other in that big somewhere out there.
Blaine began blinking back tears, losing the composure he tried so hard to keep around her;
And even though I know how very far apart we are,
It helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star.
A single tear ran down Laynes cheek. She took over, leaning her head onto her brothers shoulder;
And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby,
It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky.
The siblings looked at each other, signaling the end of the song. Together they sang the last part with tears streaming down their faces.
Somewhere out there
If love can see us through
then we'll be together
somewhere out there
out where dreams come true
After finishing what the three Anderson siblings usually sang as their goodbye, the two hugged, tears flowing from their eyes. The classroom had burst into gigantic cheers. Standing dead center of them all was none other than Kellan Von Guerry, smiling like a maniac. "What are you doing here?" Layne asked, wiping the tears from her face. "I'm trying out for Glee Club, silly!" He said with an enormous smile, "Now we will get to spend even more time together!"
