Chapter 7: Audition
(KPOV)
To say my hands were shaking was an understatement, I'm pretty sure my whole body was on the verge of seizing. I had never sung in front of anyone besides Blaine, and now I was about to do it in front of 12 people who literally did this on a regular basis. I know that I want to join New Directions, and not just for the singing, but why did I have to sing before they let me in? Can't they just trust Blaine's word? At that moment, I heard Blaine introduce me and I knew that I needed to build up the courage and just get it over with.
I walked through the door and saw 12 faces looking at me, some smiling, some uninterested, others were simply blank. I handed Blaine my tape and he gave me a small smile, and that gave me just enough courage to do this. I heard the Intro to "Blackbird" by the Beatles and prepared myself to serenade this group of strangers.

Seeing Kurt about to sing had me nervous, I knew that he was great but I was worried that something might go wrong. As he began to sing, I started to relax. There was something different about him today. I had been listening him sing for a couple weeks, I knew he had a great stage presence, but there was something different about him today.
The emotion in Kurt's voice was right there, for all to hear. It was as if Kurt was singing from his soul. There was true emotion in his voice. It was as if a story was being told through his voice and his body. It was completely and utterly captivating. I couldn't help but try and absorb every aspect of his performance.
As he was singing, I felt something stir inside of me. I wasn't sure what it was. It felt like something was flying around my stomach. I had felt them before in front of Kurt but this was something new. I don't know what it is but it just feels right to be looking at Kurt and hearing him sing. I don't ever want to be apart from him. Suddenly, I'm taken aback. This is Kurt, my friend. Am I starting to have feelings for him, or were these feelings always there and I was just blind to them.
At that moment, the song ended. Everyone bursts into applause and I am clapping the hardest. Mr. Schue walks up to Kurt, who is practically glowing and grinning from ear to ear. "Kurt, that was amazing. I am so excited to have you join New Directions."
"Really, you think I'm good enough to join you guys? I mean, you guys are all really talented." Kurt said, with a combination of shock and embarrassment.
"You're really good." "Damn, what a voice!" "I guess you're ok." Compliments were being given to Kurt from everyone. The blush on his cheeks was growing deeper and deeper as each person talked.
As soon as everyone starts to clear out, Kurt runs into my arm, but quickly pulls away. Kurt's face was embarrassed and another round of blush came across his cheeks. I was confused; I didn't know why he was embarrassed, also why I was upset when he pulled away too quickly.
"You were great Kurt!" I finally was able to spit out.
"Thanks Blaine. I mean Thanks for Everything. You're the one that gave me the courage to be able to sing in front of everyone today. So, how does a celebratory trip to The Lima Bean sound?"
I really wanted to say yes but I knew I needed to spend some time alone to figure out what was going on inside of me. "I really wish I could Kurt, but my parents told me to get home right after Glee Club today. But I promise to meet up with you tomorrow. I'll text you with the details later."
"Ok, I'll hold you to that promise." With that he headed out the door, and my heart began to ache in his absence.
Author's Note: Trust me the next few chapters are going to be GOOD! I already have them written but I want them to be perfect so I'm going to take some time and review them before I post them. Please let me know what you think in the Reviews.
