Chapter 8- We Always Want What We Can't Have
Thank you all for the reviews and yes the "it feels like I got bitch slapped by an iceberg" quote was from chris colfer :) i meant to write that down at the end
Also I was just watching this interview with the cast and they talked about how one time Naya started sending them text messages from another phone and signed them 'XO A' I thought it was really funny haha. Here's the link if anyone wants to see it: .com/watch?v=PVutgAh9nE4&feature=related
I saw glee live a few days ago. It was awesome! I felt like it could've done without all the fan stuff and everything- and maybe like actual behind the scenes stuff but the performances were so good. I was really scared that they weren't going to put 'I Want To Hold Your Hand' into it (and really upset that they didn't put the klaine skits- they better have them on the DVD- I'm still trying to find all of them on youtube- I wish someone would make like this huge like collection of every one of them and like put it into parts- cuz its really long- on youtube so you could see all of them without having to search for hours on the internet) anyways- I totally lost it when he came up on the screen though. If you haven't figured out from my name- I'm like a huge Chris Colfer fan. Like HUGE. My friends were laughing at me because I was like on the edge of my seat looking at him in like this trance or something. It was awesome.
Sorry- I got all off topic- just wanted to share that haha.
Anyways all you Puckelberry fans... YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE THIS CHAPTER!
Also my Klaine fans! BIG MOMENT GUYS!
There is also some Brittana (yay!) and Quam (yay!)
And Kurt has a meltdown :)
I hope you enjoy it.
Also rainthenrainbows I totally wasn't thinking about that when I was writing it but when I looked back I laughed too :)
Also all of the ways "G" is figuring out this stuff will be explained in the end :)
Everyone put the baked goods out onto the table and sat down.
No one said anything to each other.
A few people came up to them to purchase the food. Finally Brittany walked up to them.
Santana's heart sunk.
Kurt patted her hand.
"Did Puck make the special cupcakes again?" she asked.
"I didn't have the ingridents," Puck said.
Brittany frowned.
"We have cupcakes though. They're really good," said Rachel.
"No- I'll have cookies. Did you make the cookies Kurtie?" Brittany asked.
"Santana helped me," Kurt said.
Brittany's face lighted up but Santana stuck her heel into Kurt's foot.
Kurt bit his lip so he wouldn't scream.
"I'll take five of them! You two are both the best at making cookies!" Brittany said.
Quinn handed her five cookies.
"That'll be five dollars," she said.
Brittany gave her a five one dollar bills. No body saw Quinn slip six more dollars under it.
"Hey- Santana. I want to talk to you! We don't talk anymore" Brittany said.
"We do talk," Santana said.
Kurt tried to kick her under the table but instead she pushed her heel into his leg.
Kurt felt like he was going to cry.
"Okay," Brittany said. "But I want to tell you something. Can I tell you at Glee?"
"Yeah sure Brittany," said Santana.
Brittany smiled.
"Bye," she said walking away.
Over time Quinn had added fifty more dollars to their box of money.
Still, everyone was oblivious to this.
A line had formed in front of the table to the groups surprise.
Karofsky walked up to the table picked up a cupcake and smashed it into Kurt's hair. Kurt immediatly stood up.
"NOT MY HAIR BITCH!" he screamed.
He started to lunge over the table at Karofsky but Santana and Finn pulled him back into his chair.
"You better pay for that asshole," said Santana.
Karofsky threw a bunch of change onto the table and walked away. Kurt got up taking the cupcake out of his hair and running across the room. It took Finn, Santana, and a reluctant Puck to stop him from going after Karofsky who just laughed at him.
Santana then took him to the bathroom to fix his hair. Finn couldn't help but notice that he was limping.
Then Jacob Ben Israel came to the table. He kind of just stood there looking at Rachel for a moment.
"Hey Jewfro- buy something or beat it" Puck said angrily... a little too angrily.
"Can I have Rachel Berry?" he asked not taking his eyes off of her.
Quinn felt her face flush.
Finn threw a napkin at him.
"Get out of here," he said.
After him came Sam.
Quinn felt her heart pounding.
"Hey- can I have two cupcakes?" he asked.
Quinn handed him a cupcake and he gave her a five. She gave him four dollars back (he didn't notice) and slipped two of her own into the box.
Santana and Kurt finally came back to the table and sat down with everyone.
A few more people came to pay for the baked goods and then finally Blaine came to the table.
"Who are you?" Finn asked confused.
"I'm Blaine- I just transfered her today" he said.
Before anyone could open their mouths Kurt asked, "What do you want?".
He gave Blaine a cookie and watched him walk away.
"He has Spanish with me," Kurt said to no one in particular.
Rachel sat down next to Puck in study hall.
"How was your sleepover last night?" she asked him.
"Kind of boring," Puck said shrugging. Then he turned to her grinning. "How was yours? Are you, Quinn, and Santana BFF's now?"
Rachel laughed. "No- they still hate me. I was the one who woke them up".
Puck laughed.
Then Rachel looked at him.
"Hey- um- I never thanked you for standing up to me at the bakesale today. I mean- I know Jacob isn't the most menecing person in the world- but still thanks"
"No problem," Puck said smiling.
There was silence for a moment. He noticed Rachel frowning and looking down at her jeans.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"I look so weird today. I mean Santana could totally pull this off- but I'm not her. I'm not sexy or pretty or anything"
"That's not true," Puck said. Rachel looked up at him. Puck stopped. "You are seriously rocking that outfit".
Rachel began to laugh.
"I mean red is seriously your color".
Rachel was laughing harder at every word he said.
"You look beautiful darling"
Puck watched Rachel laugh. She was so pretty when she was laughing.
"QUIET!" their study hall teacher yelled.
Puck and Rachel immediatly shut their mouths.
The teacher turned around.
Puck looked at Rachel. She had her mouth clamped together completely failing to hold back her laughter.
She put her hand over her mouth trying really hard not to laugh.
Then Puck whispered into her ear "those jeans look simply fabulous on you".
And then Rachel lost it.
The bell rang and Santana made her way out of the choir room. Brittany rushed over to her.
"Hey Santana!" she said.
Santana smiled but inside she was sad.
"What did you want to tell me?" she asked Brittany.
"I just didn't understand why you haven't talked to me since you told me you loved me,"
"Shh! Brittany! Not so loud!" Santana said.
"Sorry"
Santana looked at her and sighed.
"But why?" Brittany asked.
"I- nothing. We're friends and I'm going to talk to you- you know what- we should hang out after school today" Santana said.
"Yay!" Brittany said clapping her hands together.
At that moment Coach Sylvester walked by.
"Sandbags! Blondie! Your late!" she said.
"Sorry Coach," they said and rushed to the gym.
Finn, Puck, and Rachel stood out of Coach Sylvester's office.
"Okay so me and Rachel will check out the office while you go to practice. Coach still thinks my knee is injured," Puck said.
"Are you guys sure? What if she catches you?" Finn asked.
"Don't worry Finn- it'll be fine," Rachel said.
Finn hesitated for a moment then nodded.
"Good luck," he told them and walked away.
The two turned to the door.
"Do you have a credit card?" Puck asked.
Rachel nodded and fished one out of her bag. Puck slid it through the door and the door opened.
"We're in," he said.
The two slowly made their way into the office. Rachel looked at the numerous trophy's everywhere.
"I hear her house is filled with them," Rachel said.
"I wouldn't doubt that," said Puck looking through her desk.
He pulled on a drawer that didn't open. He took a paper clip and picked the lock opening it.
"You seem to have a lot of practice with this," said Rachel.
Puck laughed.
"I made a few friends in Juvie. It can be usefull to have friends in low places,".
Rachel looked at Puck. She felt like she should be scared of him- but she wasn't.
It didn't make any sense to her. He threw slushies at her, made fun of her, and went to juvie- but- none of that really mattered to her. She knew there was a lot more to him than all of that.
Puck then pulled a notebook out of the desk.
"What's that?" Rachel asked?
"Its her diary," Puck said laughing. "She kept it in a locked drawer".
"Perfect!" Rachel said.
She then examined the shelves and picked up a phone putting it into her bag.
All of the sudden they heard footsteps outside of the door.
Rachel looked at Puck who was also frozen.
"Closet!" he whispered.
They quickly rushed to the closet and quietly closed the door behind them. It was really cramped and Rachel had to lean into Puck who had to wrap his arms around her stomach so she wouldn't fall.
They heard three people walk into the office.
"Okay Q- I need you to tell me what happened yesterday"
"I thought Santana told you".
Puck and Rachel looked at each other. Rachel could feel Puck's heart beating quickly.
"And Porcelin! Why are you limping everywhere?"
"I'm sorry- I sprained my leg today- I'l just- I'll just try to ignore the pain"
"Good- that's the answer I was looking for. Q- I'm waiting for your reply"
"I got sick yesterday- and I knew you didn't like to be in the presence of sick people,"
"That is true"
"And I left during Glee practice so I told Santana to tell you"
"Okay- fine then. Now I called you both to my office to tell you something very important. Last year we lost nationals breaking our record breaking winning streak. I need both of you to find a way to bring us back! Porcelin! You're being promoted. You two are now co-captains. I need you to make sure that none of the cherrios are distracted by anything this year. No skipping practice unless you have proof that they are really sick. No distractions!"
"Yes Coach Sylvester" both of them said.
"And I also need you two to crush Glee club"
"Coach I-" Kurt started.
"Porcelin! Do you want to be cheer captain or not?"
"Bu-"
"Get out of my office. I expect you two to follow my orders" Sue said.
There were footsteps walking away.
"Kurt won't do that" Rachel whispered.
"He better not," Puck whispered back.
"That Glee club! Always getting in the way of everything! I need a way to split it up,". There was some shuffling. "Where is my journal!"
Puck and Rachel went pale.
"Great- i'll have to go back to recording myself"
"She records herself?" Puck whispered.
There was a click. Rachel put her finger to her lips signaling Puck not to say anything.
"There has to be a way to take that Glee club apart. I've gotten so close especially when I- yes! That's it! I must take Rachel away from the club! That almost worked last time! I'll make sure it works this time. But how? There has to be a way to get that annoying dwarf away from those losers. It looks like its going to be another night of plotting"
There was another click and more shuffling.
Rachel opened her mouth and started to move for the door but Puck pulled her closer with one arm and used the other to put his hand over her mouth. There was finally the sound of a door slamming. Puck remained there for a moment.
"Wait a minute," he whispered to Rachel.
Rachel felt heat rushing through her body. She hadn't been so close to Puck since the last time they kissed.
Why was she thinking about that!
"Finn!" She thought. "Think of Finn".
She removed his hands from her mouth and waist and sat up.
"Let's go before she comes back," she said standing up and opening the door.
The two of them made their way out of Sue's office.
Puck drew a breath.
"That was awesome," he said.
"Yeah- I thought we were going to get detention- twice today,".
Puck laughed.
"Well- um- I'll tell you what I find tomorrow," Rachel said.
"We could look at everything together though," said Puck.
Before Rachel could respond her phone beeped. Her face turned pale.
"I have to go," she said.
Puck nodded sadly.
Rachel rushed away taking her phone out of her bag... but she already knew what she was going to see.
There on her screen was a picture of Rachel and Puck when Rachel had looked back at him. It looked like they were making out.
Under the picture it read:
Dear Rachel,
Isn't spying fun? I sure think it is. Here- I'll give you something that you may actually enjoy doing. Perform this song in Glee club tomorrow.
'Don't let it show' by Pat Benetar
Make sure to look at Puck at certain parts. If not the pictures will be sent to Finn and I don't know- maybe a few other people
G
Kurt walked down the hallway. He couldn't destroy glee club! Glee club was the best thing he had at this school!
He walked into the choir room and sat down at the panio. He started playing random keys. He closed his eyes and thought of a song. He started to sing.
Through the storm we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And I'm waiting for you
With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away
My hands are tied
My body bruised, she's got me with
Nothing to win and
Nothing left to lose
And you-
Kurt heard a footstep and opened his eyes turning around. There was Blaine.
"Sorry! I just heard you singing and I wanted to see who it was" Blaine said blushing. "You have a really nice voice".
"Oh thanks," Kurt said smiling. "I'm in Glee club- we perform a lot... I was just rehersing"
"Wow! That's really awesome. My school had a glee club too. I used to be in one too"
"Really? You should join,"
"I don't know..." Blaine said.
"No- I'm sure your awesome"
Baline was hesitant.
"Here- just sing something," Kurt said.
Blaine nodded and walked over to the piano.
"Do you know how to play?" Kurt asked.
"Yeah- my parents made me practice like every intrument known to man," Blaine said.
Kurt laughed.
"Okay- I want to warn you- I haven't done this in a while. I kind of left my Glee club when I started working".
Before Kurt could say anything back Blaine started playing the piano.
Kurt's heart pounded- and then Blaine opened his mouth to sing.
I've been alone
Surrounded by darkness
I've seen how heartless
The world can be
Kurt couldn't breath. Blaine turned to him.
I've seen you crying
You felt like it's hopeless
I'll always do my best
To make you see...
Baby you're not alone!
Cause you're here with me
And nothing's ever gonna bring us down
Cause nothing can keep me from lovin' you
And you know it's true
It don't matter what'll come to be
Our love is all we need to make it through
Kurt felt butterflies in his stomach. He saw Blaine grinning at him.
Now I know it ain't easy
But it ain't hard trying
Every time I see you smiling
And I feel you so close to me
Blaine moved a little closer to Kurt.
And you tell me
Blaine looked at Kurt "join in" he said. Kurt took a deep breath and began to sing to chorus with Blaine.
Baby you're not alone
Cause you're here with me
And nothing's ever gonna bring us down
Cause nothing can keep me from lovin' you
And you know it's true
It don't matter what'll come to be
Our love is all we need to make it through
Blaine started to pound on the keys and sing louder.
I still have trouble!
I trip and stumble!
Trying to make sense of things sometimes
I look for reasons!
But I don't need 'em
Blaine took a breath and looked into Kurt's eyes and sang softly.
All I need it to look in your eyes
Kurt was motionless.
And I realize!
Baby I'm not alone!
Cause you're here with me!
And nothing's ever gonna take us down!
Blaine paused for a second then continued.
Cause nothing can keep me from lovin' you
And you know it's true
It don't matter what'll come to be
Our love is all we need to make it through
ohh!
Cause you're here with me
And nothing's ever gonna bring us down
Cause nothing! nothing! nothing! can keep me from lovin' you!
And you know it's true
Ohh!
It don't matter what'll come to be
You know our looooovvvvveeee is all we need
Our love is all we need
Blaine's voice softened again.
To maaakkkee it throoouugghh
Kurt and Blaine looked at each other. Kurt was gaping. He was unable to speak. All of the sudden he felt himself move closer to Blaine touching his lips with his. Realizing what he was doing he quickly moved back.
"I-I- I-" he started but was lost for words.
"Its okay" Blaine said.
"N-no its not. I just met you- and- and- oh- oh no- I- I have a girlfriend," he said begining to hyperventalate.
"You have a girlfriend?"
Kurt looked at Blaine.
"I-" Kurt started- but he found himself unable to lie. "Its not real- but- but- I'm doing it for her- its not for me. But! No- I shouldn't be telling you this! I don't even know you!"
Blaine looked at Kurt.
"Don't worry- I won't tell Kurt. Its okay. I didn't mean- I didn't know- I'm really sorry," Blaine said. "Your right- we just met"
"Wait- why are you freaking and saying sorry! That's what I'm supposed to be doing!" Kurt said.
"No- I- leaned in too. I just- I really..." Blaine started.
Both of them were having problems forming sentences.
"Maybe- we should just try to get to know each other- you know?" Kurt said.
Blaine nodded. They stood there again for a short moment.
"I have to go," Kurt said running out of the choir room.
What was going on? What had just happened? Why did he do that! What if-
Before he could finish his thought his phone beeped. He stopped running and took his phone out of his pocket.
He looked down at the screen. There was a picture of him and Blaine kissing.
Kurtie,
Wouldn't want anyone to see this would you? I think Santana would be really mad too- she seems to have this weird need for you and she'd probably use those heels to puncture a more fatal area next time. Go try to find that shirt now. Maybe finding it might help you a bit.
G
P.S. Doesn't it suck when your not the only gay guy in school anymore?
Brittany and Santana sat down on Brittany's bed.
"How are things with Kurtie?" Brittany asked.
"They're great," said Santana.
"Are you sure"
"Yeah"
"Why don't you love him then?"
"Because Brittany- you can't just chose who you fall in love with"
"You didn't chose me?"
"Love is very powerful Brittany. You never know when its going to happen" Santana said.
"So love is making you love me?"
"No- its- its hard to explain" said Santana.
"How do you know that you love someone Santana?" Brittany asked.
Santana looked at Brittany. This was her moment- she could tell Brittany something to convince her to love her back- but she didn't want to.
"I don't know- you just know," said Santana.
Santana looked away from Brittany and felt a tear run down her face.
Quinn walked outside of school and found Sam by her car. She took a deep breath and walked up to it.
"Hey Sam," she said.
"Hey Quinn- I wanted to ask you something,"
"What is it?"
"Are you doing okay? You don't seem to be very happy lately," he said.
Quinn looked at him.
"Its nothing," she said. "I'm just a little stressed".
Sam nodded.
"You can always tell me," Sam said.
Quinn looked at him feeling her eyes water. She wanted to tell him everything but just nodded instead.
"Thank you," she said.
Sam smiled at her.
"You can always talk to me too," she said.
The two looked at each other for a moment.
"I gotta go," Sam said. "I'll see you around".
Then he walked away.
Quinn watched him leave letting the tears fall down her face.
Finn walked into his house. He walked past Kurt's bedroom. He heard a bunch of things being thrown around. He opened up the door to find Kurt searching throughout his room, which was now a wreck. Finn's heart stopped.
"What's going on here?" he asked.
"I can't find it! I CAN'T FRICKEN FIND IT!" Kurt cried.
"F-find what?" Finn asked nervously.
"MY FRICKEN GUCCI TOP! MY FRICKEN NEW EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLAR GUCCI TOP!" Kurt screamed out.
"You just need to chill Kurt- these things- sometimes happen"
"I NEED THE EFFIN TOP FINN!"
"Kurt just-"
"DON'T FUCKING TELL ME TO SHUT UP! DON'T TELL ME ITS JUST A SHIRT! I NEED THE SHIRT! I FUCKING NEED IT!" Kurt waved his arms around frantically and then said "Fuck".
"Woah- Kurt- I didn't even know you knew that word... or how to use it..."
Kurt gave Finn a look so cold that Finn felt all the happiness he had ever felt was all gone. He sadly walked out of the room hearing the door slammed behind him.
"I'm screwed" he said to himself.
He picked up his phone and dialed Rachel's number.
"Hey Rach-"
"Finn! Finn!" he heard crying. "I can't talk".
Then she hung up. Finn stared at his phone confused. Then he called Santana.
"Hey Santana I need you to-" Finn started.
"Piss off Hudson".
Then she hung up. Finn stared at his phone. Who else could he possibly call to calm down Kurt? And why was everyone acting so weird?
I hope you loved this chapter- I think it was one of my favorites to write.
I have always wanted Blaine to sing 'Not Alone' to Kurt. It's just so perfect for them and Darren Criss is so cute when he sings it. :)
The bakesale was harder to write than I thought it would be. Its hard to come up with exciting moments for six people sitting at a table at a school where people think they're losers and probably won't interact with them so much. But I tried. I hope you liked that part- I may have tried a little too hard on it though.
I hope your okay with me bringing in the kiss so soon. I just think Klaine are just soul mates and it was so in the moment. Don't worry about them though. Things will be happy in the world of Klaine pretty soon.
The song that Kurt sings is 'With or Without You' by U2.
I'm starting to bring music into the story- I'll try not to do to much and keep it to the story line and when its necessary. I always love when the stories on here have songs because I love hearing new songs I've never heard of.
There will also be a Kurt/Santana friendship moment (I'm starting to really like them)
Some more Klaine :D
Rachel does her song and there's some Puckelberry
And... there will be some Rachel/Santana conflict
There will be some more Santana spanish (once again from my small knowledge and google translate)
There will be some intense parts- and the group will all get together again- although it won't be as long as last time.
And...
HUGE! HUGE! PUCKELBERRY MOMENT! WE'RE TALKING GINORMOUS!
I hope you guys love it :)
