Thanks here is the chapter 8
Chapter Eight- The Call Back
The next morning Kurt went to pick up Mercedes, Kurt still not told Mercedes about him and Blaine. No one knew. They just pretended that they were not friends in school. It was not something Kurt liked, but he understood what was going on with Blaine and did not want everyone finding out the truth.
It only took Kurt a few minutes before he was at Mercedes house to pick her up, she was waiting outside. This was her big day; he knew that she was going to do great. Knowing that she was going to get the part. She had to get it, Rachel would be so upset and that would make Kurt happy.
Mercedes walked to Kurt's car and got in. She was dressed in a black dressed with some tights on, she looked wonderful.
"Look at you Mercedes. Looking smoking hot. I glad you picked that outfit out."
"Thanks Kurt, I am so scared I do not want to mess this up, I really want to get this part."
"I know, and you have the perfect song that will help you get the part. And I know you will get the part."
Mercedes smiled, she loved having Kurt as her best friend. He was the only person that ever understood her.
"Thanks, it would be nice to beat her; I really hope that I can. I would love to see her face when I do beat her."
"Well you have your call back after school, and the song you picked is a great song, and I know that you are going to kill it."
Kurt told her as the pulled up to school, he knew that he would love to see someone else get the lead beside Rachel. Mercedes would be the best; he knew that she would be. Now hoping that everyone else can see it.
They walked to their lockers to get their books and headed to class, they were going to skip lunch to practices a little more and make sure that everything was going to perfect. Though Kurt already knew that it was going to be. She was going to get the role, he could just feel it.
The end of the day came, and glee was meeting in the choir room to watch Mercedes and Rachel have their call back. Kurt was outside waiting for Mercedes, knowing that she might need a little prep talk before she went to perform. While he was waiting Blaine had walked over to him.
"I hope Mercedes win."
Blaine told Kurt as he walked in, Kurt was not able to say anything because he was already inside the choir room before Kurt was able to say anything. Kurt just stood there waiting.
"Kurt, I do not know if I am able to do this, I know I said I was able to do it this morning, but now I am scared."
"Mercedes calm down, you have the best voice there is in this club, and for once everyone is going to see it and you will get this part. So breathe, you are going after Rachel and she is going to mess it up. So let's go in there show out 'support' and then you are going to kick some ass."
Mercedes smiled, she knew that Kurt was her best friend for a reason. He was the only one that really understood her.
"I love you Kurt, I hope you know at."
Kurt put his arms around her arms.
"I know Mercedes; now get ready to kick some ass."
They walked in and went to their normal seats. Rachel was already standing in the front the room.
As they walked in Kurt could feel that Blaine was looking at him, he looked over and shot a quick smile and took his seat with Mercedes.
"Now that everyone wanted to show up, I believe it is time to start this call back. Though I do not understand why we need one. I know that I am better then Mercedes."
Mercedes hated Rachel, she always thought that she as better than anyone else, and no one else liked her. But they were all friends with her because Blaine was dating her. Though no one could understand why he would date her. Only Kurt knew the reason, and he knew that he would want to say something but he just kept quiet, because he did not want anyone thinking anything.
"I am going to sing Tonight."
Rachel started singing, and no one could lie that she could not sing, because she was able to sing. Though people would rather her be in the background, they knew that he voice was part of the reason they did win Nationals the last two years, also with the help of Blaine.
Mercedes looked over at Kurt.
"Maybe I should have picked a song from the musical."
"Mercedes, the song you picked will show off your voice, and that is what you need to do. You already sang one song from the musical, now you need to show off your voice."
Mercedes smiled. No one understood her like Kurt, and she knew that it was almost her turn as Rachel had finished singing her song.
"Now get up there and show them that you are the best singer that there is."
Mercedes took a breath and walked up, and stood in front of the other glee members. There had only been a hand full of times that she sang in front of the glee club. She was going to show them that she was the best.
"Hello… I am Mercedes Jones, and I am going to be singing. I will always love you"
Kurt was smiling, knowing that this song would show off who she and how much better a singer then she was from Rachel.
She started singing, and looked around the room. Some people were talking and others were listening. Artie was listening since he was the one that was director the musical so that was a good sign, Kurt looked over to Blaine and Rachel, and Rachel was saying something to Blaine but he was not listening, trying to tell her to be quite and listen. It was nice seeing Blaine being nice, even if they did not talk a lot when they were in glee club.
When Mercedes hit the middle part of the song, it seemed that everyone was staring at her, she was hitting all the notes that she needed to hit. It was wonderful; Kurt could tell that Mercedes was having a good time.
Kurt looked back over at Rachel, who for once stopped talking while Mercedes was singing, and looked as if though she was getting hit with a truck. No one knew that Mercedes was able to sing like that. She never sand to her full when she was in glee because it was the Rachel and Blaine show, but Kurt told her to show them how wonderful she really was.
When Mercedes was done everyone beside Rachel stood up and applied for her. Kurt could not be happier for her.
"Thank you that was Wonderful Mercedes. Now that will be all for glee today, tomorrow we will start rehearsing for the musical, and tomorrow morning this list will be up, so hope everyone likes the roles that they get."
Mr. Suhue told them, and everyone was getting up. Kurt walked over to Mercedes and gave her a hug, and looked over at Blaine and saw that he was walking over to where Mr. Suhue was, knowing that he
was keeping to his word that he was going to ask to do a duet with him so they would be able to spend more time together.
He did not want to stay and wait to see what happens, Mercedes and him walked out of the room.
"Mercedes, that was great, I am sure that you are going to get the part. No doubt about it, I think Rachel was in shock that you could sing like that."
"Thanks Kurt, I hope so. We will find out tomorrow morning if I get it or not. And I would love to see you become my Tony."
"I would love that, but I think that Blaine got that one in the bag, I am not made to be Tony, but there is always that hope."
They walked to Kurt's car and he went and dropped her off, knowing that tomorrow things might be different and there might be a new Maria in town, and it would be awesome if she would get it.
When Kurt made it to his house, there was a note on his door from Finn telling him that he would not be home tonight, that the football players were having an all night practices to get ready for the big game on Friday, this meaning that he was going to be at his house alone all night.
Kurt was used to being at his house alone, it was nothing new. Having a father that was in congress and a step brother who was on the football team, nights alone were not new. He wished that he did not have so many nights where he was alone, but it just seems to happen.
He walked into the house, and went right to his room, he was tired and not feels like make anything to eat, and he just wanted to go to sleep. He did not understand why he was so tired. As he went to lie down his phone started to beep.
He looked at it and saw there was a message from Blaine
Hey Kurt, talked to Mr. Suhue, and he said that it would be alright if we do a duet together, but I am now trying to convince Rachel, and she is upset right now because she knows that she lost the role, Mercedes was so great today. –B
Well trying to convince here is going to be hard, but it is not her glee club it is Mr. Suhue, and that is great that he is up for it. And thanks for being so supportive of Mercedes. I really hope that she gets it.-K
Well I hope so also, but I have to go Rachel is here and she need me to 'comfort' her, though I wish I could be there with you.-B
Well do what a good boyfriend would do, I will see you soon I hope-K
You will, once we start practicing this duet, we will spend much time together, until we meet again my love-B
Kurt closed his phone, and before he knew it he was sleeping. Dreaming about Blaine, wishing that he could spend more time with him.
Mercedes did not need a ride that morning, meaning that Kurt spent more time getting ready, since he went to sleep in what he wore last night he woke up early to shower and get ready for the day. He knew that today he was going to find out if he got the lead or not, he did not know if he wanted to get the lead, did not know how people would feel if he was to get the lead.
He made his way to school, knowing that most of the glee members would already be there waiting for the list to come out, knowing that it was going to be before first period. Mercedes was already at his locker.
"Mercedes the list up yet?"
"Not yet, but it should be soon."
"You got the lead do not worry about it."
Right after he said that, he saw Mr. Suhue was walking up with the list, and most of the glee members were already over there. The only ones that were not there was Rachel and Blaine.
"You ready?"
Kurt asked her as he grabbed her hand.
"Let's go."
They started to walk over there, and looked at the list.
