Concerning the previous chapter, Juliet is supposed to be Kurt's diary. I've always felt that Kurt needed somewhere to vent out his frustrations ever since his middle school years. I chose Juliet because I felt that even though he loves Broadway, he's loved Shakespeare's star-crossed lover's story since a young age.
Thank you for following the story!
Kurt's everything, besides Blaine was singing. When he quit the Glee Club on the Monday morning before classes, Mr. Schuester was confused. Kurt was one of the original people who audition for the glee club and no matter how much he was being bullied, he kept attending. He knew that Kurt loved the Glee Club but he didn't know why he quit until that afternoon.
No one had seen Kurt in the morning, during lunch or at his locker. They've seen him during his classes, though. Rachel talked with Kurt during their English class and he seemed totally fine, as the Broadway diva said. Lauren saw him being slushied by a football player (the glee club members winced as she said this) in front of his French class, nothing out of the usual.
When Mr. Schuester heard them talking about Kurt he told them the news. Everyone started yelling, demanding answers.
Mercedes, even though she was angry, sat down on one of the hard, plastic chairs. She noticed, by a glance of the eye, that Blaine had his lips in a tight line and was sitting down, as well, with his arms crossed against his chest. She didn't like that he was not showing concern like the rest of the club.
She got up and sat next to him. Blaine jumped at the sudden sound of the chair leg scraping against the floor. He blushed and uncrossed his arms.
"What's wrong with Kurt? Why'd he quit?"
His shoulder's tensed and he said, "I don't know."
"What do you mean you don't know? You guys talk about everything and anything," she stated. She was right. That was how their relationship started and that was how it continued.
He felt the pressure of Mercedes' stare. He looked around to see if anyone else was lokking at him. When the coast was cleared he leaned towards her and cupped his hand around her left ear. In a small voice he whispered, "We broke up."
"YOU DID WHAT?" All the heads in the choir room to look at the cause of Mercedes' outburst. She seemed unfazed by the sudden increase of attention. Why did you break up?"
Blaine liked the attention that he got while he sang. He didn't like the attention that he was getting now. The stares that he was getting weren't full of admiration but full of venom. Who would blame them? He broke the heart of their best friend.
He told them about his decision. He couldn't look anyone in the eyes. He cowardly kept his eyes down. When he finished, the room was silent for some time.
Tina was the first one to decide to speak up. "Maybe we can get him back."
"Yeah," Britney said in a dreamy voice. "Us unicorns have to stick together."
Ignoring what Britney said, Tina continued, "He'll see that it was stupid to quit the glee club. Singing is his only reason for living now. He won't give it up."
They all agree. Kurt was just being Kurt: dramatic. He'll come back around, he had to.
Unlike the others, Puck didn't dream like them. "He won't," he said. Before the girls started yelling, he continued, "Why would he? I wouldn't. I mean, it's the glee club. We're below the math geeks at McKinley. And he's gay and the whole school knows it. It's not like he tries hiding it either. That doesn't even make him as cool as dirt. He's below it.
And to top it off, his ex-boyfriend the guy who was supposed to make his senior year special yet broke his heart is in the worthless glee club. Why would he want to continue the glee club?"
Everyone stared at Puck. He didn't back down from their piercing eyes. It made sense. Since when do I back up Hummel?
They knew that it was the truth. Kurt wouldn't come back.
He won't come back, they thought, unless they begged.
