Chapter Three:
Rachel's POV:
I was not my usual perky self when I got to school this morning having been up half the night on the phone trying to get the whole story out of Kurt. It took way longer than was necessary because I had to keep calming him down after he burst into tears. I understood why he was upset but, I mean, half the glee club had been cheated on or done the cheating and everyone else seems to be fine.
Finn said he's been crying himself to sleep at night. By the time glee club was ready to start he'd broken down twice more during school. I guess he was past his angry stage because as we sat down in the choir room he was practically sniveling. He was falling apart. He was even wiping his nose on the sleeve of his sweater. I was pretty sure it was designer and I was also pretty sure it was the same sweater he wore yesterday. It was tragic, and so un-Kurt.
"You need to snap out of this!" I ordered him, grabbing ahold of his arm and handing him a tissue. "Blaine is going to walk through that door any second. Do you want him to see you like this? He's probably going to make kind of grand gesture in response to your song and you can't be weak. He wronged you Kurt and you have to show him that he is the one missing out. You are strong and you can get through this. You may have the vocal range of a soprano, but you aren't a little girl Kurt. So, man up!"
"Yeah," He sighed, handing me his used tissue. I quickly threw it away. Gross. "I know you're right. God, I don't know if I can do this, Rachel." I had to resort to drastic measures.
"Kurt Hummel, if you don't stop crying right now I will have Finn let me into your house when you aren't looking and I will steal all your scarves!" His head snapped around and I was met with a new spark in his eyes.
"You wouldn't!"
"Don't test me." I said smirking, knowing I'd gotten his fire back. Just then Mr. Shu walked in with Blaine in tow.
"Alright guys. I know you probably figured this was coming after yesterday, so I'm just gunna give the floor to Blaine." Mr. Shu announced before stepping back and sitting on the piano bench next to Brad. Blaine nodded to him and walked to the middle of the room, looking up at us.
"Kurt," He ignored the rest of us and addressed Kurt directly, "I know you are upset, I know you probably hate me, and I know I hurt you. And judging by the fact that you are refusing to look at me right now, you, uh, probably don't ever want to see me again." I glanced at Kurt to discover he was looking at his corduroys and picking at them. Blaine sighed. "That's okay. I understand. I can respect that. I won't try to force myself back into your life when you aren't ready for me to be there. But I think that neither of us wants to have to see each other every day because, well frankly, it will hurt, both of us. So I have something to say, if you're at least willing to listen."
Brad and the band started playing and I recognized the song almost right away. Oh, Blaine was pulling out all the stops. I mean I would have gone with something from a musical but Blaine was Mr. Top 40. At least he had opted to slow down the tempo.
"I think you can do much better than me
After all the lies that I made you believe
Guilt kicks in and I start to see"
Woah, was Blaine admitting that he'd lied to Kurt? Or was he just acknowledging the situation of being caught cheating?
"The edge of the bed
Where your nightgown used to be
I told myself I won't miss you
But I remember
What it feels like beside you
I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me"
Was he going for guilt? Singing about how much he missed Kurt. Of course, knowing Blaine, he was probably just being brutally honest. The line about Kurt's innocence was spot on. Kurt had already confided in me that Blaine was not only his first time, but also his first kiss. I wonder if Kurt agreed that he deserved better than Blaine, and if Blaine really meant it.
"While looking through your old box of notes
I found those pictures I took
That you were looking for
If there's one memory I don't want to lose
That time at the mall
You and me in the dressing room
I told myself I won't miss you
But I remember
What it feels like beside you
I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me"
I saw Kurt's jaw clenching and unclenching. It was getting to him. What I didn't know was what kind of a reaction this was. Was he going to run over and hug him, crying, and forgive Blaine or was he going to agree that he deserved better and storm out? I guess I would have to wait until the end to find out.
The bed I'm lying in is getting colder
Wish I never would've said it's over
And I can't pretend... I won't think about you when I'm older
Cause we never really had our closure
This can't be the end
I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me
I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me
Blaine was definitely crying now as the song came to a close and I feel like Kurt was close to crying too, but I couldn't make myself look.
"So," Blaine choked out after a deep breathe, "This is basically my way of saying good bye. Like I said, I think it would hurt both Kurt and I too much to have to see each other every day. I'm transferring back to Dalton."
I couldn't help the gasp that escaped my mouth. I thought he was just going to quit the new directions, not leave the whole school. It was a bit dramatic; also there was no telling what the third transfer of Blaine's high school career would to do his academics.
"I've already sent my transfer papers to Principal Figgins so this is my last day," Blaine continued, "So thanks for everything you guys. I'll never forget my time here and you guys. Feel free to stop by Dalton and visit sometime. Bye, Mr. Shu." He nodded to Mr. Shu and then he dared a glance at Kurt. Kurt for the first time met his gaze. "Bye, Kurt."
Blaine walked out the door and it slammed behind him. Then there was an awkward silence. Then…
"Bye, Blaine." Kurt whispered.
Mike's POV:
I found Blaine by accident after Glee. I had forgotten my tennis shoes in the gym and I went back there to grab them when I heard music. I knew that Blaine liked to work out with music sometimes, so I figured it was him and went in to say hi or, at least, to say good-bye. Blaine and I had become pretty good friends during his time here. But when I walked into the workout room I saw something different than his usual boxing routine.
A hundred days have made me older
Since the last time that I saw your pretty face
A thousand lies have made me colder
And I don't think I can look at this the same
But all the miles that separate
Disappear now when I'm dreaming of your face
This was not his usual upbeat boxing routine and he was actually crying while he threw the punches.
I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight it's only you and me, yeah
His whole demeanor was different too. Where Blaine once stood straight backed in a practiced defensive stance he was now leaning into the punching bag and throwing punches haphazardly.
The miles just keep rollin'
As the people leave their way to say hello
I've heard this life is overrated
But I hope that it gets better as we go, oh yeah yeah
His face, usually calm and focused, was scrunched as if in pain and was stained with tear tracks.
I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl it's only you and me
Part of me wanted to go comfort him. But I didn't; he had hurt Kurt pretty badly. One thing was for certain, I would miss him. Maybe, once the tensions simmered down a bit, Tina and I would go visit him at Dalton.
Everything I know and anywhere I go
It gets hard but it won't take away my love
And when the last one falls, when it's all said and done
It gets hard but it won't take away my love, whoa
Just as I decided to leave him to vent, he collapsed. It startled me it was so sudden. He was boxing one moment and the next he pitched forward and wrapped his arms around the punching bag. He sagged into it and slowly slid down it until he was on his knees sobbing into it like a pillow. I once again vacillated between leaving and going to him as the song finished out.
I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl it's only you and me, yeah oh yeah oh
The music died leaving only Blaine's crying. It hurt me a little bit, but I had known Kurt longer and I had to have his back on this. I steeled my resolve and walked out of the gym.
