Hey guys! Thank you for stopping by and reading another chapter! I would really appreciate some reviews!
Okay, now onto the chapter…
Dalton had only started to allow girls three years ago. Many people were against, but Kurt seemed to be all for it. He thought that every child, boy or girl, deserved a safe learning environment.
When some of the first girls started, they were not allowed to be in any of the extra circulars, which included the show choir. Kurt took it upon himself to change this. He made a deal with the headmaster, Luke Brandon, that only girls with all A's and nothing on their permanent records could be in the glee club.
Only 6 girls were in the group, but Kurt realized that they made a big difference in the choir's sound. Since the girls had started, the Warblers had won 2 national titles and 1 runner-up title. It seemed that Kurt had brought a new, glorious light upon the school.
But, there was only one thing that he regretted since he had started Dalton.
Melody.
How the name of his daughter made him stop and think for long periods of time.
Why hadn't he taken her with him? Why did he leave her with Blaine? She could've had the perfect life with him, just the two of them, but he left her behind. Abandoned her. Left her without her true father.
The Warblers were practicing their number for sectionals, when Kurt began to be distracted by his own thoughts. God knows since he took over the choir, he let no Pink or Katy Perry songs be sung. Broadway songs were his speciality, as were ballads. All of the competition judges praised him for his ability to make Broadway classic so fun and youthful. He loved the praise that he received, but it still didn't fill the empty void he felt inside.
"Maybe I should just call Blaine and see how she is…" He said, quietly under his breath.
The Warblers continued to practice as he sat on one of the leather couches. His hair, that day, had slight body in it and a single piece hung down on the side of his forehead. He wore black leather boots with dark, denim jeans. His top was a cream color Henley and a dark, blue vest over the top of it.
"Mr. Hummel?" One of the many Warblers called out. Kurt still remained in his daze.
"Mr. Hummel, are you alright?" One of the girls asked.
Kurt quickly shook out of his thoughts and the choir group stared at him in confusion.
"Yes, yes. It was very good. Don't change anything at all," Kurt rose from his seat. "Okay, well you guys can go now. Practice tomorrow at 6! See you all then!"
Kurt quickly walked out of the choir room into the hallways of Dalton. The clock bells outside were ringing their low, rumbling noise as he began to climb up the spiral staircase.
"So sectionals is only a week from today. Are you nervous?" Blaine asked his daughter, who rode in the passenger seat of his blue Fusion.
"Not really. I mean, how much of a threat could those other schools be? We are probably one of the best choirs in Ohio, right?" Melody asked, as she faced towards the window. It was raining outside, so the raindrops were running along the glass.
"I wouldn't be so sure of yourself. There are a lot of talented groups out there," Blaine said, as he pulled the car into the driveway. Melody opened up her car door and stepped out of the vehicle. She shut the door behind her and began to slightly run up the concrete driveway.
Blaine followed behind her as the two walked into the two story home. They walked down the dimly lit hallway and Melody pulled herself up the spiral, wooden staircase. Blaine walked into the kitchen and picked up the house phone, checking for any missed calls. Only 1 was on the voice messages.
The missed caller's name made him stop in his place.
Kurt. Kurt had called him. Why? What did he want? Blaine finally brought the phone to his ear and listened to the message.
"Hi Blaine, um it's me…Kurt calling. Anyways, the reason I am calling is that…well, I have been thinking about Melody a lot lately…more than usual. I mean, does she miss me at all? I mean, it's fine if she doesn't but…. I was wondering… Tomorrow would you maybe want to meet at Lima Bean and talk about some…things? I know it's been a long time since we've seen each other but, I need to get some things off my mind. If you could maybe meet me there at 3:30 that would just be amazing….Alright I'll let you go now. Bye, Blaine."
The message ended and Blaine stood in complete and utter shock.
Kurt sat at the small, round table with the two medium drips in front of him. He had arrived a little early and was now waiting on Blaine.
A moment later, he saw his ex-husband enter into the coffee shop. He still looked about the same since Kurt had left him. His hair was still perfectly gelled and he wore a button-up and a bow tie. Yep, same old Blaine. B
Blaine walked over to the table, standing in front of Kurt in awkwardness. What was he supposed to do?
"Blaine, it's so nice to see. Take a seat," Kurt said, as he motioned for him to sit down. Blaine sat down in the chair and looked Kurt up and down. "I assumed you still like medium drips?"
Blaine nodded his head and accepted the drink, taking a small sip of it. He brought the cup back down and stared into Kurt's blue eyes.
"Okay, I know you didn't just invite me to coffee to see how I am. What's going on Kurt?" Blaine asked, as Kurt let out a slight sigh and then started to play with his coffee cup.
"It's Melody…." Kurt began. He let go of his cup and then stared Blaine in the eyes. "Does she miss me at all?"
Blaine shrugged his shoulders, "How should I know? You left when she was three, I doubt she really remembers you too much."
Kurt held his head in his hand and twirled around his cup, "That's just what I was afraid of."
The two sat in silence for a moment.
"Do you want to see her or something?" Blaine asked, sounding a little impatient.
Kurt blinked his eyes shut, "I think it would just make things worse for me at this point. When is your guy's sectionals? I don't believe that we are performing against each other, this year."
"It's next Friday. Are you going to come?" Blaine asked with bulging eyes.
"I think that I just might," Kurt said, with a slight nod. "Does Melody have a solo?" Blaine nodded and Kurt's face lit up. "Then I'm most definitely coming!"
The two sat and talked for a while. Blaine finding it a little hard to be with a man that had left him. But, all the same did the two not find it too hard to think up conversation. Blaine told about the many experiences that he had over the years at McKinley. While Kurt told of winning a national title two years in a row.
As the day was slowly ending, the two departed from each other. Each remembering the life that they both shared in a not so far away time.
