"You don't think he heard me do you?" Kurt asks Marley all worried.
"Who?" She asks. Then she notices that Blaine had just entered the room. "Oh...no I don't think so." She assures him.
My Anchor? Wonder what that was about. Blaine thinks as he heads over to take a seat.
"Hey Blaine!" Kurt says all excited and a bit nervous. I hope he didn't hear me.
"Hey!" Blaine says back even more excited.
Then everyone else starts walking in and Mr. Schue finally enters the room. Everyone takes a seat and gets ready for practice.
Mr. Schue looks over at Marley and Kurt who are sitting by each other. "So who wants to go first?"
"Ummm..." They both say while looking at each other and they both get up.
"Well I was going to sing a song that I picked out today, but Marley met in the choir about thirty minutes ago and-" Kurt says as Marley interrupts him.
"See I wrote an original song and asks me to share it with you guys today. I came into the choir room and me and Kurt got to talking and I begged him to sing the song instead." Marley tells everyone.
"Yes she begged me. I was hesitant at first. I had chosen another song to sing, but she wouldn't stop begging me so I just said yes." Kurt tells everyone.
"What is the song called?" Tina asks annoyed.
"It is called My Anchor." Kurt tells her and everyone else.
My Anchor...really Kurt?! So that was what that was all about. I guess you have been talking to Finn a little too much. Oh wait...Marley wrote the song, so I am sure she chose the title. It is just weird that I told Finn that he was my anchor and now that is the title of this song. Makes me me wonder alot.
"So here goes nothing. Hit it!" Kurt tells the guy on the piano.
"You have always been there since the day we met. Full of courage and ready to give some to me. You were all I needed. You helped me when I was feeling lonely. You brought me back to a place where I could stand. You made feel as if I mattered to someone." Kurt sings
Shit! The song just started. Hold it together Blaine. You can do this. Don't cry.
Blaine is doing all he can not to break down and cry as hot tears sting the back of his eyes.
"You were down and lonely, not sure where to go." Kurt continues to sing
Wow! That lines hits home for sure. Hold it together. You can do this.
"My anchor keeps me steady and whole. It keeps me alive. It's the reason I am still here today. My anchor is all I need to survive. Sometimes anchors get caught on the wrong things. They seem to hold for awhile and then they let go. They hold on as long as possible, but sometime it just can't do its job. Sometimes they break and lose their grip." Kurt continues to sing
Oh my God. I am what he needs to survive! Yes I did lose my grip. Shit! I'm not gonna make it!
"Their is no real reason for this to happen, it just does. That is life. Not everything will go the way you plan it. Not everything will hold tight. My anchor keeps me steady and whole. It keeps me alive. It's the reason I am still here today. My anchor is all I need to survive." Kurt looks as Blaine as he sings this part.
Blaine loses it and a tear streams down his face. Then another one. Shit! Well here come the water works.
"If you have love then it will last forever. Yet forever can die. When that happens just remember it can be regained again. You can put the anchor back down and learn to trust that it will hold better this time." Kurt looks Blaine in the eye as he sings this part and Blaine is now crying silently as tears pour out of his eye.
"My anchor keeps me steady and whole. It keeps me alive. It's the reason I am still here today. My anchor is all I need to survive. That this time it will hold forever. That I love you will actually matter this time. That trust will be restored and I will remain your hopelessly devoted anchor. It may seem as if if is against all odds for this to happen." As Kurt sings this while looking at Blaine a tear rolls down his cheek. This makes Blaine cry a little bit harder.
Really Marley?! You just had to include those two songs in this songs. Way to make me cry more.
"As if it is impossible. But with trust and love anything can happen. My anchor keeps me steady and whole. It keeps me alive. It's the reason I am still here today. My anchor is all I need to survive. I am still here. I am still your anchor. I will keep you steady and whole. I will make sure you are alive. I will be the reason you are here today. The reason you survived. I will never let you go. My anchor will always remain whole." Kurt sings the last part of the song and wipes the tear off his face. Blaine dries his eyes and smiles at Kurt and lets out a small sigh. Kurt returns the sigh and smile.
"Wow! Give it up for Marley and for Kurt singing the song!" Mr. Schue says and everyone claps. "That is the best song I have heard in a long time. You really nailed it! I think we have found our ballet for regionals!"
Kurt walks over and sits down by Blaine. Blaine reaches out and grabs Kurt's hand. They hold hands through out the rest of Glee practice. After Glee practice is over they decide to go and get some coffee. Just the two of them. Blaine really wants to talk to Kurt about the song.
They arrive at the Lima Bean and Kurt orders the coffee as Blaine heads over and sits at their usual table.
I have to ask him about the song. I want to know why he sang it and not Marley.
Kurt walks over and hands Blaine his coffee and sits down. "Did you like the song?" Kurt asks him.
"Like the song? More like loved the song. I have a question. Why did you sing the song and not Marley? I mean considering she wrote it." Blaine asks him as he turns his head to the side
"Well I had just came back from talking to Mr. Schue and decided that I was going to sing a song for you at Glee practice today. I wanted to express that I still loved you and that I wanted us to be able to be in a relationship again. That I was ready. So I headed into the choir room to pick the perfect song. " Kurt tells him as he takes a deep breath.
"Wait you and were talking about me?" Blaine asks shocked
"Yes we were! I just needed to talk to him. He told me if I was still in love with you and that if I finally trusted you again that I needed to tell you this. That I needed to let you know that you are still the one for me. Despite everything we have been through you are my soulmate. You are the one I want to be with. I know the territory is still kinda new for us again and I don't want to rush into anything, but I think we can both handle it again. I think you can handle long distance again. I was telling Mr. Schue all of this and I just decided to sing you a song. Then when Marley walked in with that song I knew it was the perfect one." Kurt tells
Blaine as he takes a deep sigh.
Wow! I hope I haven't said too much. Why isn't he saying anything. Oh shit! why is he being quiet?
"Blaine? Are you okay? You look sad." Kurt asks him.
"No, I'm not sad. I love you so much Kurt. I really do. I swear this time will be different. I will be a better boyfriend to you. Oh and by the way she chose a perfect title for the song." Blaine says as a tear slides down his face.
"I chose the title of the song." Kurt tells him.
"What?! You chose it?" Blaine says shocked and confused.
"Well she said she had the perfect song, but it still needed a title and after she sang it I figured My Anchor was perfect." Kurt tells him.
"Yes it was perfect. Why did you choose that?" Blaine asks.
"Well she says the word anchor in it alot and since you are my anchor I figured it would work. Why you ask?" Kurt asks him
"Because there was a point this year that I was a mess without you. Literally a freakin mess. I was so upset and didn't know what I was going to do. I walked into the choir room one day and told Finn I was done. That I was going back to Dalton. That I had had enough of being here without you. Finn told me that everyone needed me and I shouldn't do that. He kinda yelled at me. I told him that I couldn't stand being in the choir room without you. That everything in this stupid room reminded me of you. That you were my anchor in this room and without you I was sinking." Blaine says as a tear falls from his eye.
A couple tears roll down Kurt's cheek. "Blaine, I love you. I am so glad you are back in my life."
The rest of the night they go back to Kurt's house and cuddle on the couch and watch a movie with his dad and Carole. Then Blaine heads home.
The next day at school Blaine goes to Mr Schue's office after first block.
"Knock knock." Blaine says as he enters 's office.
"Well hello Blaine." says back to him. "Did you need something?" He asks him.
"I just wanted to thank you." Blaine tells him.
"Thank me for what?" He asks him
"For talking to Kurt yesterday and letting him sing during practice. It really meant alot to me. I know that we are meant for each other and we are working on be back together. With your help yesterday things are finally leading to us getting back together sooner than I ever thought it would be. You helped him see that I am his soulmate again and I can't ever thank you enough for that." Blaine says to him as he almost cries.
"Well you are welcome. You two are a great pair and you deserve each other. You really helped Kurt when he was going through that rough patch and needed someone. You gave him strength when he felt as if he had lost it. That takes alot to be able to do. You two mean alot to me." tells him.
"Well thank you." He stands up and gives a hug.
"I guess I better go to next block. Can you write me a tardy slip?" Blaine asks him.
"Sure thing." says.
Blaine heads to second block and after that to lunch where Kurt meets him. He wasn't sure if Kurt was coming because he hadn't seen him yet today. Kurt walks into the lunch room and sees Blaine sitting with the rest of Glee club. Blaine notices Kurt. Kurt is wearing a pair of tight gray pants, a lavender shirt, and a white scarf with black polka dots on it. He walks over and sits down to Blaine who is wearing a pair of red pants and a white shirt with three buttons.
"I was thinking about singing a song at Glee practice today! What do you think I should sing?" Blaine asks Kurt.
"I am not sure. I think you should sing whatever song is on your heart." Kurt says as he winks at him.
"I guess I could do that." Blaine says to him.
"As long as the song isn't about Kurt then I say sing whatever!" Tina chimes in annoyed.
"Shut up!" Kitty shouts at her. "If he decides to sing to him then you are just going to have to get over it. It is obvious after yesterday that they are still in love with each other."
"Fine!" Tina barks at her.
After school ends the Glee club meets for a few minutes.
"I have a song I would like sing!" Blaine says all excited and nervous.
"Well be my guest!" Mr. Schue tells him as he points towards the front of the room.
