AN New Chapter! and GOSH! tons of hits! I'm soooo happy! Never thought this would be popular!
Oh and glad you guys like Calvin and Alice n_n
BTW, Alice didn't really come from Alice in Wonderland, originally. Alice was just the first name that popped into my head at the time, and it fit because Alice is such a cute name. Also the wake up scene wasn't really planned, but it worked too perfectly that I just had to do it!
I don't own anything ok? Got it?

The halls of McKinley looked as busy as ever. Calvin was about to head over to glee club when he felt something missing. Alexis' arm wasn't around his own like it had been during the last few days of school. He missed the crazy girl but he didn't really want to admit it. Sure she was insane, but he had been working on that, somehow someway, he would make her a little bit calmer. Before entering glee club, he saw another familiar face, but with a different look, apparently the taller brunette had changed her hair color.
"Hey Sam! What up with the hair? Calvin said waving his hands around in the air near her face.
"Nothing. I thought I'd change it."
"It's cool, I like it. And red? Really? Is it like your dream to be a Weasley or something?" Sam muttered something under her breath, barely even able to be heard by anyone else. "Hey, where's blondie?"
"I dunno." Sam shrugged, holding her books close, turning on her heel and walking off.
"Wait!" He said, catching up with the girl. "She didn't say anything?"
"No."
"But we have drama club today, and she's my partner."
"Is she all you care about?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Nothing…Let's just get to class."
"Sam, something's wrong what is it?" He held onto the girls shoulder, wondering what was the matter, and what was different.
"Just please, don't." Why was she acting like this? he was only worried about her friend, and frankly she should be too. it was the first day that the blonde hadn't been there to go with them to glee club. Soon enough, he found himself taking his usual seat only to find out that neither of the Sam's were coming.
Mr. Anderson entered soon enough and started talking about sectionals. No one really cared except for this one kid who really wanted to win after their apparent loss the year before. New Directions hadn't been the same since their members started graduating, and with the seniors gone, no one else really cared, because they lost their most talented singer.
Throughout the course of the day, he hadn't seen the Sam. Figuring that Blondie was absent, he didn't really expect to find her anywhere. During lunch, he saw the brunette turned red head in the cafeteria line, only to be shoved away by the flurry of hungry teenagers. "Sam! Come on!" Calvin shouted over the loud chitchats of the students.
"Kids don't forget to write down your homework!" Kurt said over the loud noises of zippers being closed, pencils being dropped, notebooks and books being stored and the basic chaos of his second graders. He made some last minute checks in for the stack of papers he was to bring home God! Why'd I give myself so much work, Note to self, give kids less homework next week for some me time. the children lined up near the door waiting for their teacher to lead the out to the school grounds.
Kurt opened the door, the kids slowly walking out one by one in a single file line. All the children followed suit and were calmer than usual. If the definition of calm was talking iver each other about random cartoons they were going to watch on nickelodeon later that day, then yes, the kids were totally calm. It had been a regular day: the kids turned in their homework right before lessons, and they were still the rambunctious bunch. Martin still continued to tease people about the silliest of things, and Alice was quite happier this time. Yes, everything was normal, well almost. There was this woman during recess that really caught his mind.
"Hello, may I help you?" A woman said to Kurt as he approached the bench he sat on everyday during recess. The bench offered the best point of view to look over the whole playground, so naturally, to watch over the kids, he would sit there.
"Oh, uh." Kurt didn't want to assume possession on the bench, it being school property and all. Besides, it wasn't like his name was printed on it. I'll just go sit somewhere else."
"It's no problem, come here sit!" The woman moved over, making space for Kurt, occupying one end of the seat. Kurt thanked the woman for her kind gesture and sat down. "So who are you?" the woman asked almost protectively, putting the book she had been reading on her lap.
"I'm the teacher, Kurt Hummel, nice to meet you." He extended his hand, the woman graciously taking it.
"Really?" She extended the word, much like one of those villains from a fairy tale movie, but Kurt barely gave it a thought, going back to watching his kids from afar as she returned to her book.
When they reached the door, it was as much like any other day. A flurry of, mummy's and daddy's and mama's and papa's and other family members filled his ears. Like usual, he looked for a certain curly haired man in the cluster of people, but he couldn't. Blaine was nowhere to be found. Instead, the person Alice acknowledged to be her parent was the same woman from before. He smiled as Alice hugged the woman, thinking it was probably her mother. The little girl let go of her grasp on her mother and took a small rectangular shape from her. Soon enough, the little girl pranced towards Kurt. "Here you go Mr. Hummel Mama wanted to give this to you!" The girl handed him a book, a book that Kurt noticed the woman read. He looked at the paperback to see that it was "Separate Lives" by Allison Deserter. It was a book that he hadn't read before, and to see the woman's smiling face as they left, he couldn't refuse. He held up the book and waved it around, mouthing a "thank you" as the mother and daughter left.
Kurt went back to his room, shoving the book and a bunch of quizzes he needed to grade. The room was quite a mess, so before leaving, he decided to tidy up a bit, pushing the chairs in and throwing away the little pieces of trash on the floor Another note to self, tell kids to clean up after themselves sometime. Once satisfied, he looked around the room, making sure he wasn't forgetting anything, then closed the door. Kurt exited through the back door, where the teacher's parking lot was located.
On the other side of the school, one man waited for a certain pale skinned teacher to exit the building with his daughter. HE cursed himself for being late, but traffic was pretty terrible that day. Minutes passed, but no one came. Student after student and parent after parent passed by him, and still no Kurt. He was starting to get worried, what if Alice already had been out? He couldn't even bear the thought. A man passed by with his son and daughter in tow. Blaine noticed who the boy was, it was one of Alice's classmates. He ran towards them. "Hi uh, was his class already let out?" Well that was a stupid question, of course they would be let out, or else the kid wouldn't be here!
"Yeah," the man said, holding on to his children with a tighter grip, "his class was let out a couple of minutes ago, we had to stay to wait for his sister."
"Mind if I talk to him for a second?" The man nodded with some hesitation, Blaine quickly took the opportunity and asked quickly. "Hi! You're in Mr. Hummel's class right?" The boy nodded. "You know Alice?" The boy nodded once more. "Well, I am Alice's daddy, do you know where she is?" The boy nodded once again. Blaine's eyes suddenly felt somewhat of a relief.
"She's with her mommy."
Kurt got into his car and turned on the radio, pushing in a CD. The melody of "On my Own" fill his car.
And now I'm all alone again nowhere to turn, no one to go to
without a home without a friend without a face to say hello to
Kurt thought ofBlaine, and how happy he might be with his family, Then again the man did say he was getting a divorce, but at least he hadAliceto look forward to, even though, from what Kurt experienced earlier that day, he didn't have sole custody of the girl. He didn't really want to, but the thought of how the man smiled when he picked up his daughter made Kurt's heart flutter.
"Alice?"Blaine ran the perimeter of the school, looking everywhere for his ex-wife and his daughter
Kurt turned on his ignition and drove home. Thinking about howBlainewould spend time withAlice, just sitting there on a couch watching a movie. The scene looked lovely, and he wanted to be onBlaine's other side.
And now the night is near
Now I can make believe he's here
Sometimes I walk alone at night
The darkness soon took over, Blaine still near school grounds looking for one certain little girl. "Alice?"
When everybody else is sleeping
I think of him and then I'm happy
With the company I'm keeping
The city goes to bed
And I can live inside my head
Kurt plopped onto his couch, not really thinking of anything in the moment. Taking out any thoughts ofBlaine. "It'll never work," he said to himself.
On my own
Pretending he's beside me
All alone
I walk with him till morning
Without him
I feel his arms around me
And when I lose my way I close my eyes
And he has found me
Kurt's eyes closed, his thoughts filled with nothingness.
In the rain the pavement shines like silver
All the lights are misty in the river
In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
Blainetrudged to his car and drove, calling the police in the process. He thought of places where they could be, and drove. His daughter was everything to him, and no way was he going to let anything ever happen to her.
And all I see is him and me forever and forever
And I know it's only in my mind
That I'm talking to myself and not to him
And although I know that he is blind
Still I say, there's a way for us
Kurt couldn't help it, his dreams still thought ofBlaine. Tears welled up in his eyes for a love that could never be.
I love him
But when the night is over
He is gone
The river's just a river
Without him
The world around me changes
The trees are bare and everywhere
The streets are full of strangers
I love him
But every day I'm learning
All my life
I've only been pretending
Without me
His world would go on turning
A world that's full of happiness
That I have never known
I love him
I love him
I love him
But only on my own
AN No! Julia! WHY?
