A/N: This is set for the funeral episode to who I THOUGHT was going to die, because to me, all arrows pointed to that direction. Ah well I was wrong huh? Sad that poor Jean had gone huh? Poor Sue Sylvester, her one joy gone, which inadvertedly turned her into a better person? Funny how death changes things in people huh?
Disclaimer: I do not own glee.
The Funeral
A boy was found dead at the front of a family home. No one knows the motive of the act, or why such a lovely young man would jump off his two storey balcony. No one understood why the newly crowned junior prom king could do such a possible act. He was widely popular, in the football team, dating a beautiful Mexican girl and was co-founder of the bully whips, who had taken down bullying all together.
His smiling face graces the covers of magazines, newspapers, television screens and radio updates.
The news of David Karofsky's suicide had spread like wild fire around Lima. Condolences were passed over to his family and his Mexican girlfriend Santana Lopez, who were bombarded with cards, chocolates, stuffed animals, flowers and whatever else people could think of.
Finn POV
He watched as a tear fell down his brother's face. Like a leaking tap dropping it's liquid until it finally couldn't possibly hold on any more, it sailed like droplets of the September rain down his cheeks and on to his designer scarf.
He didn't know why his brother would take it to heart, even though Dave had redeemed himself by apologizing openly to his brother and starting the bully-whips. Still. He had tormented and physically abused him so bad, that he had transferred to a new school. How could anyone ever forgive that? He never knew what it was like to be bullied, but he saw it happen all the time, sometimes standing up for them, but mostly shunning his eyes like he didn't see what was going on. He has been ashamed of his behaviour, knowing how humiliated they all must have felt. He felt nothing but remorse now.
He had been such a whim, letting his brother and ex-girlfriend be tormented in such a way that it was so degrading to them. He was happy that Sam had kind of pushed him to stand up and take a stand. He wished that he didn't give in to peer pressure so easily. He hated himself for that.
He knew what the glee club had to do. They were going to support Dave Karofsky, and show that the boy was just going through something, and had redeemed himself. Everyone should remember him for who he had finally shown everybody in the end. That's how people should be remembered right?
He watched as his mother took his brother into her arms and rocked him until he couldn't cry any more. Was he missing something?
Rachel POV
"OMG, did you hear what happened?" she asked Kurt when she saw him in the hallways.
He turned around and had obviously been crying all morning, eyes blotchy and swollen, his face tear stained to the point that you could draw your fingers over them.
She opened her arms and grabbed the boy to her, hugging him tight, as the boy let another stream of freshly new tears fall down his face. Shoulder's hunched and trembling. Words didn't suffice to what her friend was feeling. Guilt it seemed to be emanating from him, though she didn't know why he would feel that way. He had the heart of gold (when it wasn't something he truly desired).
"Um Ah, sorry about that Rach" he whipped the tears away with the back of his hands, a little embarrassed that he had crumbled again. He had promised that he would keep the other boy's secret forever to himself, and that was what he intended to do.
"It's okay Kurt; it's an emotional time right now. People you know dying, it such a hard thing to grasp" She told him softly, wishing that she could ease the pain off her friend.
She remembered when her grandmother (her dad Matt's side) had died, and how horrible it felt, like her heart was never going to heal again. Her father had been so broken over the whole thing, that he had been silent for ages, such very sad times in the Berry house hold.
Jesse POV
He watched on as people cried in hallways, all curious to why the boy had committed suicide, when he had finally turned a life and was being the model student and athlete people were so happy he had turned out to be. He was well liked at the end of his years, which was a great relief to many, had it been the boy who had openly bullied many of them.
Though Jesse had great sense of 'gay-dar' and had known for quite some time, about the boys hidden secrets, he had kept his mouth tightly zipped (especially from his somewhat loud-mouth and much loved girlfriend) and let the boy keep his secrets, god only knew all of the ones he had kept in his short eighteen years of life.
He wasn't surprised when he heard the news that morning, as he waited for his girlfriend to change herself, and make her way down to their usual breakfast that her father's prepared before they went to work.
Flashback at Rachel's home that morning.
He watching as his girlfriend come running down, having heard it on the wireless as she showered twenty minutes ago. Rushing with getting ready so she could discuss the turn of events with him, which he was flattered by all the attention that she openly wavered all over him.
"OMG did you hear the news Jesse?" she said with obvious shock displayed all over her face.
"Yeah I watched it on the news while you were in the shower" he didn't want to tell his loud mouthed girlfriend that he knew the reasons why he could do such a thing, and he suspected that Kurt knew as well. That was why he had been bullied by the other boy, but still he said nothing.
"Such a surprise wasn't it?" and he almost said 'it's not actually' and bit down hard on his tongue.
"Yes it was" he answered her, standing up to bring his girlfriend in for a tight hug and long await kiss. Hand and hand they walked through the doors to the breakfast table.
End of flash back.
He watches as his girlfriend brings the openly gay boy into her arms, letting his tears fall down her shoulders. It truly warmed his heart to see how much she cared about everyone and tried her best to help others, well help others when she didn't feel threatened. Oh he knew she could be ruthless, remembering the time she had sent a girl to a crack house. He shook his head at her ruthlessness, as equally as he could be when he wanted to be.
Finn POV
"Santana we want to band together and sing a goodbye song for Dave" he suggested to the Mexican who was dressed beautifully in black.
"Yes that would be nice. His family would love that. I'll tell his family" They all watched as the sexy brunette flipped her phone open and scanned her phone numbers for his mother's number.
"Hi Amy, its Tana. Yes I am doing as best as I can. More importantly, how are you all managing? Yes I know it's hard. Yes, I'll come over tonight. Okay eight then. Yes, I – we – the glee club, would love to perform a song that Dave loved. Oh that's wonderful. Yes I'll tell them all. Yes I know exactly which one. Okay see you soon" they all watched the one sided conversation draw to a close.
"So as you heard just, she has taken on Finn's suggestion about doing a song and I know which one" she beamed a bit, and told them all the song.
A/N 2: question: what would you think Dave Karofsky's favourite song would be? I would love to know your thoughts or ideas. Maybe something that hits home for him maybe? Well hit the button if you please. Thanks for the help guys :D
