The Voice Within
As Kurt entered the Evans house, he felt as if something was wrong. For one thing, Sam had invited him over to work on his English when he wasn't even home, and for another, there was crying coming from upstairs.
Setting down his designer bag, he headed upstairs and found the source of the crying. Stacey, Sam's nine-year old sister, was sitting on her bed, her face hidden by long blonde strands of hair. Kurt sat next to her, his maternal instincts kicking in. "Hi there, my name's Kurt. What's wrong?" Stacy looked up at him, her hazel eyes brimmed with unshed tears. "Hi, I'm Stacey. And you wouldn't understand." Kurt gave her a small smile. "Try me.""The boys at school make fun of me. They call me ugly and throw things. And then they pull my hair when I sing cuz they say I sound bad." Kurt pulled her into a hug, rubbing her back in a motherly way. "You know," he said, " I get made fun of for singing, too. People laugh at me because I sing like a girl." Stacey snorted. "Doubt it." Kurt smiled, and began to sing.
Young girl don't cry I'll be right here when your world starts to fall
Young girl it's alright Your tears will dry,
you'll soon be free to fly
When you're safe inside your room you tend to dream Of a place where nothing's harder than it seems No one ever wants or bothers to explain Of the heartache life can bring and what it means
Stacey looked up, shocked at the high notes Kurt easily hit.
When there's no one else, look inside yourself Like your oldest friend just trust the voice within Then you'll find the strength that will guide your way You'll learn to begin to trust the voice within
Young girl don't hide You'll never change if you just run away Young girl just hold tight Soon you're gonna see your brighter day
Now in a world where innocence is quickly claimed It's so hard to stand your ground when you're so afraid No one reaches out a hand for you to hold When you're lost outside look inside to your soul
Giggling, Stacey joined in, her voice surprisingly strong and powerful.
When there's no one else, look inside yourself Like your oldest friend just trust the voice within Then you'll find the strength that will guide your way You'll learn to begin to trust the voice within
Stacey took the solo part, belting almost as well as Mercedes.
Life is a journey It can take you anywhere you choose to go As long as you're learning You'll find all you'll ever need to know
(be strong)You'll break it
(hold on)You'll make it
(be strong, hold on)
Just don't forsake it because No one can tell you what you can't do No one can stop you, you know that I'm talking to you
When there's no one else, look inside yourself Like your oldest friend just trust the voice within Then you'll find the strength that will guide your way You'll learn to begin to trust the voice within
Sitting on Kurt's lap, Stacey dozed off, leaving Kurt to finish the song himself, affection in his eyes as he quietly sang the last few notes.
Young girl don't cry I'll be right here when your world starts to fall...
Hearing the sound of light clapping, Kurt looked up to see Sam, smiling. Carefully, so as not to wake her, Kurt placed Stacey on her bed. Kurt was about to ask where Sam had been, when Sam's strong arms wrapped around him and his lips enveloped Kurt in a passionate kiss while Stacey watched from her bed, smiling as she pretended to be sleeping. 'About time, Sammy.'
