Hi! I'm back!
I've had a lot of you telling me to do a Home Invasion….interesting…
So, I'm watching this film called The Amityville Haunting with my brother, I have no idea what's going on, and the acting is so poor!

2 months later…
It has been two months since that fateful day at McKinley High, and everyone was slowly getting on with their lives.
The school re-opened 2 weeks after the memorial service. A few of the students actually came back to finish the rest of the year. For others, the pain of walking through the halls where students and teachers witnessed loved ones die was too much.
Most of the Glee Club came back. But New Directions was no more. It didn't feel right at all to carry on not as a full team.
Artie, Sam, Tina and Brittany have been in discussion about whether to join again next year, where the seniors will have graduated and they could make a fresh start.
The seniors were gearing up for graduation; again, it wouldn't feel right for them to be able to graduate and not all those seniors who died. Puck, Mercedes, Santana and Finn were currently on stage in their red graduation gowns and their caps, clutching their necklaces as they threw their caps in the air.
The remaining New Directions decided to each buy a dog tag necklace, and engrave all the victims' names on:
RIP
Rachel
Mike
Quinn
Sugar
Rory
Joe
Always in our hearts,
ND xxx
The seniors waved at the juniors who were sitting in the crowd with all their parents. They were saddened when they learned that they would be missing two members.
Kurt and Blaine decided to go back to Dalton, where it was new scenery and they could try to start a fresh. The decision was made after Kurt had a full blown panic attack when he walked through the hallway on his first day at school. He wouldn't be the first pupil to freak out.
Kurt has been out of the chair for a month, and straight away was started on physical therapy. He can walk with a cane, and he walks with a limp as his right leg is still healing and getting stronger.
Burt was shocked to learn that Kurt was still suffering from nightmares, even a month after the attack. He thought they'd only last a few weeks then he'd be back to normal, but the psychologist said that it could stay with Kurt forever. Finn had stopped having nightmares after the first 2 weeks, but then he didn't have much of an encounter with the psycho.
The seniors smiled sadly on stage for the camera, knowing that they have come out of this whole experience closer and stronger as a group.
Blaine was driving him and Kurt to start their first day back at Dalton Academy. Blaine had to have a word with some of the students beforehand to tell them to be sensitive to Kurt's needs and to not be full on, and just act normal.
Burt talked with the headmaster at Dalton, and it was agreed that because Kurt missed quite a bit of school, he was able to retake his senior year next year, so he will be able to graduate with Blaine.
Blaine talked to Kurt, and persuaded Kurt to come to Dalton to start moving their things slowly into their room. Burt also asked specifically if the boys could share a room, as Blaine could be there for Kurt when he had a nightmare, rather than have Kurt wake up and find a stranger over him.
Kurt was on so much medication that Blaine lost count. He was on Zopiclone for his nightmares, Citalopram for anxiety and sleeping tablets, he had to take each twice in the morning every 4 hours.
Kurt seemed to sense that Blaine was thinking hard, so he reached his hand over Blaine's, whose hand was on top of the gear stick.
"Penny for your thoughts?" he asked playfully.
Blaine chucked. He looked over at his love, he looked exhausted, dark circles under his eyes showing lack of sleep due to his nightmares, even when he was taking the pills. He just hoped moving to Dalton would really help him.
"Just thinking. Everyone is really excited we're coming to visit today." Blaine said excitedly.
"Let's just hope the Warblers have gotten over the Michael Jackson façade and Sebastard keeps his hands to himself," Kurt said dryly.
Blaine laughed at the nickname. He hadn't thought about the whole thing with the Warblers, only hearing that they were deeply sorry and would do anything to make it up to both him and Kurt.
As they pulled up into Dalton, Blaine got out of the car and ran to Kurt's side to open the door for him. Kurt grabbed hold of his cane tightly, to not fall over as he was still trying to regain his balance.
Kurt disapproved of the cane at first, saying, "I feel like an old man!" But when Blaine told him it looked sexy, he gave in, only if he could 'bedazzle' it himself.
They both made their way to the front desk; the receptionist knew them very well, so just shook her hand at them, telling them to go straight through.
They walked through the corridors hand in hand; they passed the Warbler room when they heard humming. Blaine motioned for Kurt to go first. When they opened the door they were greeted by the Warblers standing in their ordinary line in front of the door.
[Nick]
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
When the road looks rough ahead
And you're miles and miles from your nice warm bed
You just remember what your old pal said
Boy you've got a friend in me
Yeah you've got a friend in me
Kurt laughed with joy at the cheesiness of the song. Blaine couldn't help but smile, as he hasn't heard Kurt laugh like that since before the incident.
[Jeff]
"You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You got troubles and I got 'em too
There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you
We stick together, we can see it through
'Cause you've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
[Trent]
Some other folks might be a little bit smarter than I am
Bigger and stronger too
Maybe
But none of them
Will ever love you the way I do
It's me and you boy
[Sebastian]
And as the years go by
Our friendship will never die
You're gonna see it's our destiny
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me"
Kurt started wiping away the tears that had fallen while they sang the song. Both he and Blaine started clapping for their friends.
The Warblers slowly started to walk over to Kurt and Blaine. Nick was the first to open his arms out for Kurt to hug him. Kurt hesitated at first, while Nick grabbed him in for a bone crushing hug.
Kurt flinched at first, then reminded himself that they were his friends, and they were not going to hurt him. Kurt then had the courage to hug the rest of the Warblers, then went back to stand next to Blaine.
"Kurt, Blaine, you guys have been through a lot of shit, but we're here to help you, and give you a fresh start. And if you need us, anytime, anywhere, we'll be there with you through it all." Sebastian said.
Blaine wished he had a camera with him when he saw the look on Kurt's face at Sebastian's niceness.
It was the end of August already; Burt and Finn were packing the car with Kurt's bags for Dalton. Burt was worried about allowing his son to be so far away from home, especially what with everything that went on, but he actually thinks this will be good for his kid.
Ever since Kurt came back from Dalton, he seems to have improved mentally. He sleeps better, with only around 4 nights of the 7 with nightmares, which was huge progress.
Kurt was excited to be starting his final year in education. Carole and Finn practically demanded to drop Kurt off as well, so that's how we find the Hummel-Hudson's all packed into Burt's truck. They had already had the discussion about Kurt ringing at least three times a day, (morning, lunchtime and before he goes to bed) so Burt can sleep at night and not worrying about his biological son.
Kurt had also reset the webcam on Burt's computer, so he can at least see his face and see for himself how Kurt was doing.
After 2 hours, they reached the gates of Dalton where Blaine, Nick, Jeff, Trent, Thad and Sebastian were waiting for them. When Burt and Finn unloaded Kurt's luggage, all the boys pitched in and escorted his bags to his room (hopefully).
As Kurt didn't need to do anything, he turned around to face his family. He hugged Carole, who then kissed him on the cheek. "Make sure my dad isn't putting too much stress on himself, and make sure he eats healthily," Kurt whispered into her ear. She nodded in understanding, not trusting her voice to answer him.
Next, Kurt went to Finn, who wasn't ashamed to let the tears flow.
"I'm really going to miss you Kurt," Finn said, hugging Kurt as if he was going to disappear.
"I'll miss you too Finn, have fun in New York," Kurt smiled. He was so thrilled when Finn got accepted to do a Football Scholarship in New York.
"Hey, I'll save space in the apartment for you for next year", Finn grinned.
"Thanks" Kurt said, giving Finn one last hug.
Lastly, Kurt faced his dad, and Kurt couldn't hold the tears in any longer, and nor could his dad. Together, they cried into each other's arms.
"I'm going to miss you so, so much Kurt," Burt said.
"You to dad, I love you"
"I love you too"
Kurt then wiped away his tears, giving his family one last smile, before grabbing Blaine's hand. They turned and entered Dalton Academy, ready to start a fresh.
1 year later
Kurt was walking through the grass, ticking off in his head those he'd already visited. He came face to face with Rachel's headstone.
"Hey you, so I got accepted into NYADA, which is incredible. I kind of have the feeling you had something to do with this." Kurt chuckled. "My flight is tonight, and me and Blaine will be living with Finn, until we find ourselves a place of our own, god forbid. It doesn't feel right, going to New York without you, but when I get my first Broadway performance, I will sing as if you were there with me, when I win my first Tony, first of many I might add, I will dedicate it to you. Even though your not here on earth, your still a star, Rachel Berry." Kurt said, before getting up, and going off to visit the last grave.
"Hi mum, so I'm going to New York later, I got into NYADA. I just can't believe how fast the year has gone. I hope your looking out for my friends up there in paradise. I'll try and visit as often as I can when I come back to NYADA, but for now, farewell mum, I love you." Kurt kissed the palm of his hand and placed it on the grave, a watery smile appearing as he read the lettering on the grave.
He then stood up, and walked over to the car, where Blaine was sitting, waiting for him.
"You ready for this?" Blaine asked.
"I was born ready for this," Kurt grinned.
As they drove out of the cemetery, he knew it wasn't goodbye. It was never goodbye.
You never really say goodbye to the people you love.
"Always you will be part of me
And I will forever feel your strength
When I need it most
You're gone now, gone but not forgotten
I can't say this to your face
But I know you hear
I'll see you again
You never really left
I feel you walk beside me
I know I'll see you again
When I'm lost, I'm missing you like crazy
And I tell myself I'm so blessed
To have had you in my life, my life
When I had the time to tell you
I never thought I'd live to see the day
When the words I should have said
Would come to haunt me
In my darkest hour I tell myself
I'll see you again
I will see you again
I'll see you again
I miss you like crazy
You're gone but not forgotten
I'll never forget you
Someday I'll see you again
I feel you walk beside me
Never leave you, yeah
Gone but not forgotten
I feel you by my side
No this is not goodbye
No this is not goodbye
No this is not goodbye"
And that's it!
I'd like to say a HUGE thanks EVERYONE who stuck with me through this!
