"Kurt, I can't do this. I have to read her eulogy and I can't." Blaine whispered, looking at the front of the church, it was filling up fast and Kurt was standing with Blaine and his Gran as people came and paid their condolences. Carol and Burt were standing off to the side, holding Arrianna.
"Shh you can do it honey because I'm right here with you." Kurt squeezed Blaine's hand, watching him closely. They sat, listening to the preacher talk about what a wonderful woman Annie was and how she was now in a better place. Blaine held Arrianna until it was time for him to go up and read, he then passed the infant to Kurt and went up to the podium, brushing aside tears.
"Annie, she was four years older then me but we were always close. She was wise, and kind, she would have given the clothes off her back to make someone else happy. She was always the one to get sick first and stay sick. She was told she was going to pass before she was fifteen, but she held on. She held on for her friends and family. Then she-" Blaine froze, stepping away, crumbling infront of them all, he wrapped his arms around himself trying to keep it together. "Kurt..." Kurt quickly handed Arrianna to Carol and stood, going to his boyfriend.
"I'm here." Kurt hugged him tightly. "Shhh, I'll read for you."
Blaine nodded, burrowing his face in Kurt's neck as Kurt read. "Then she had a beautiful baby girl and decided it was time to leave. I won't lie, I will miss her, she was my Sissy, but I'm glad she is no longer in pain. I hope that Arrianna grows well but as kind as her mother was. I know Annie will look over us all now that she's gone, so we shouldn't mourn our loss, but treasure the time we were given."
Blaine had another body-shaking sob. Kurt held him trying to swallow his tears and be strong for Blaine as he folded the paper. "That's it, thank you."
Kurt sat back down, holding Blaine as the preacher stood once more. "Now we have a few songs to be played then you may go to the gym and reminise the good times of Annabelle Anderson."
A few songs played on the stereo that the preach had then he nodded to Kurt who stood, prying Blaine off of him, along with Wes and David. They had worked on a song to sing, and though it wasn't in Kurt's normal keys he agreed to sing lead.
Why'd she have to go
So young I just don't know why
Things happen half the time
Without reason, without rhyme.
Lovely sweet young woman
Daughter, sister, mother
Makes no sense to me
I just have to believe
Kurt tweeked the lyrics just a bit, his eyes on Blaine as he sung, tears stinging them and fogging his vision.
She flew up to heaven on the wings of angels
By the clouds and stars passed where no one sees
And she walks with Jesus and her loved ones waitin'
And I know she's smiling sayin' 'Don't worry 'bout me'
Loved ones she left behind
Just tryin' to survive
And understand the why
Feelin' so lost inside
Anger shot striaght at God
Then askin' for His love
Empty with disbelief
Just hopin' that maybe
She flew up to heaven on the wings of angels
By the clouds and stars passed where no one sees
And she walks with Jesus and her loved ones waitin'
And I know she's smiling saying' 'Don't worry 'bout me'
It's hard to say goodbye
Her picture in my mind
Will always be of times I'll cherish
And I won't cry 'cause
She flew up to heaven on the wings of angels
By the clouds and stars passed where no one sees
And she walks with Jesus and her loved ones waitin'
And I know she's smilin' sayin', 'Don't worry 'bout me
Don't worry 'bout me, Don't worry 'bout me'
Kurt, Wes and David all hugged Blaine and Gran and Wes and David went back to their seats. Blaine smiled at Kurt, a beautiful true smile, even though he was still crying. "Thank you, you didn't have to do that."
"Yes, but I chose to, for you, Gran, and to honor Annie in my own special way." Kurt said softly as the preacher told them to head over to the gym. Kurt stood with Blaine, sighing as people made their way over to Blaine and Gran, but Burt and Carol quickly ushered them away, towards the gym, wanting to give the two a minute to collect themselves.
Finally they were in the church alone with the preacher who came to them slowly. "Megan, dear I'm so sorry, Annie truly was an amazing child. The good lord has plans for her spirit though I assure you. Blaine, son how are you holding up?"
Blaine gave him a smile, "Fine Father Mattingly."
The father nodded and looked to Kurt, "You have a good singing voice son, have you ever thought of joining the choir?"
Kurt blinked and looked at Blaine, mouthing 'does he know you're gay'. When Blaine nodded Kurt looked at the father again. "No offense sir, but I'm atheist."
The father nodded, "I see, well, and I hate making assumptions, but are you Blaine's boyfriend?"
That had both boys blushing so Gran answered. "Yes they are together. They make such a cute couple don't they?"
"That they do. Come on Megan dear, I'll escort you to the gym." Blaine held Kurt back to make sure they was out of ear shot.
"Father Mattingly has had a crush on Gran ever since I can remember. But don't think he's hitting on her now. He truly wants to help her." Blaine whispered as they started walking, hand in hand. He did feel lighter now, like Annie truly was off in a better place, it was a good feeling. "Hey you want to help me with shopping tomorrow?"
Kurt grinned, "Of course. Come on the sooner we go in there the sooner you go home."
Blaine sat in one corner, picking at the food Kurt sat infront of him as people came up talking to him. When the people started to leave Wes and David came up.
"Hey, you doing okay?" David asked, sitting down beside Kurt and cooing at the sleeping baby in Blaine's arms.
Wes smacked at David. "Blaine I-"
Blaine grinned at them both. Though sadness was still visible. "Thank you so much for singing with Kurt. I appreciate it. Hey, I'm leaving Dalton, I know you know that but..."
"We're still your best friends dude, you aren't getting rid of us. Nope. Never." David responded, the would be there for Blaine. Even if they were competing against each other.
Blaine gave them both a hug and was surprised when Gran came to them. "Blaine darling, Father Mattingly wants me to go out to dinner with him, he's asked me so I can speak to him. Can you watch Arrianna? Or should I ask Carol to?"
"I have her Gran." Blaine said immediately.
"Thank you, Wes and David are more then welcome to stay the night, I won't be out late dear." Gran said, kissing his cheek. Blaine nodded while Wes and David grinned like cheshire cats.
"Yay we get to go to Blainey's house!" David said loudly, making Blaine shake his head.
"Well lets go then. Kurt dear are you staying again?" Gran asked, she had a soft spot for the boy, he was so helpful the last few days.
"Yes m'am, if dad allows me to." Kurt said, standing.
Gran nodded and walked to Father Mattingly, where they were talking with some of the older ladies of the church. Burt and Carol were supervising everything, making sure it all went smoothly. Kurt went that way.
"Dad, can I stay another night at Blaine's?"
"Yes son, I know they are going to need help with the little one, when are you planning on coming back home though?" Burt asked, hugging his son, "And you did your song magnificently."
"Thank you, I'll be home tomorrow night okay?"
They nodded in agreement and hugged him before he went to Blaine again. "You ready to go babe?"
"Yes please, guys you need a ride?"
"Nope, we will follow you. Come on David. Out to the car." Wes said, hugging Blaine again before leaving. Kurt and Blaine got Arrianna in her carseat and covered her up tossing the blanket over to keep the cold out of her face.
"Blaine, I'm going to warm up the car and pull it around front. Wait in the main hall for me okay?" Kurt asked, they both wanted to keep Arrianna out of the cold.
Kurt jogged to the car, turning it on, and getting the heat on quickly. He pulled out of the spot, stopping right in front of the church, Wes and David were leaning against Wes' car watching him. Kurt jumped out and helped Blaine out of the church, together buckling in Arrianna and getting in the car.
Blaine watched Kurt while the boy drove, "You are amazing thank you so much for helping me out. And I'm sorry about Arrianna, I know she's going to interrupt alot of time we should be having together."
"Blaine, I lo... I mean, I don't care if I spend every second I have with you with Arrianna too. I've done told you that. She is part of your life meaning she's part of my life. You should stop doubting yourself." Kurt said softly, his hand seeking Blaine's as he pulled up in the drive way, he almost told the boy he loved him anf he didn't think that would come across greatly at the moment. "How about you head up and unlock the door, I'll carry her in."
Author's Note: So I cried while re-reading chapter. I based some of Blaine's reaction of reading the eulogy on the way my Uncle acted when reading the one for my grandma. Though my Uncle acted like he wasn't crying, When he came back to sit with us I could tell he was. I just think that Blaine needed the physical and emotional support of Kurt right there.
And the song is Sissy's Song by Alan Jackson. It used to be one of my grandma's favorite songs that wasn't Elvis, and I really didn't want to use it because I get emotional when I think of it, but I wanted Kurt singing and it was the only one that I could get to fit. Especially because Blaine calls Annie Sissy.
Okay I'm posting this now, because I will start crying again if I keep on talking. Review my loves?
