Regionals (part 2)
(Kurt POV)
"Are you sure about the order of the songs?" asks Finn when we're all on stage
"Yes we are Finn, the song Kurt and I have planned is perfect for the finale and it expresses what we're going through now so it'll be more for us than for the crowd but believe me when I say that they'll love it as well" assures Rachel. None of us had time to say anything since the lights began to blink, signaling that the show was about to begin; so we just nodded and rushed to our places.
Yeah, you may think that I'm a zero
But, hey, everyone you wanna be
Probably started off like me
You may say that I'm a freakshow (I don't care)
But, hey, give me just a little time
I bet you're gonna change your mind
All of the dirt you've been throwin' my way
It ain't so hard to take, that's right
'Cause I know one day you'll be screamin' my name
And I'll just look away, that's right
Just go ahead and hate on me and run your mouth
So everyone can hear
Hit me with the worst you got and knock me down
Baby, I don't care
Keep it up, and soon enough you'll figure out
You wanna be, you wanna be
A loser like me
A loser like me
I look to my right and see Santana and Brittany leave the stage discretely, then look to the audience to see if they'd noticed and smile widely when I see they're too engrossed in the song since they know it's an original.
Push me up against the locker
And hey, all I do is shake it off
I'll get you back when I'm your boss
I'm not thinkin' 'bout you haters
'Cause hey, I could be a superstar
I'll see you when you wash my car
[ Lyrics from: . ]
All of the dirt you've been throwin' my way
It ain't so hard to take, that's right
'Cause I know one day you'll be screamin' my name
And I'll just look away, that's right
Rachel and I also leave the stage –hopefully unnoticed- and head towards the other two so they can help us change clothes quickly.
Just go ahead and hate on me and run your mouth
So everyone can hear
Hit me with the worst you got and knock me down
Baby, I don't care
Keep it up, and soon enough you'll figure out
You wanna be, you wanna be
A loser like me
A loser like me
A loser like me
Rachel and I watch form the sidelines as Brittany and Santana join the others with cups and finish the song as planned.
Just go ahead and hate on me and run your mouth
So everyone can hear
Hit me with the worst you got and knock me down
Baby, I don't care
Keep it up, and soon enough you'll figure out
You wanna be, you wanna be
A loser like me
A loser like me
A loser like me
"Ready?" I ask Rachel
"I was born ready" she smiles and takes my hand. We can hear Santana introducing us as New Directions and we step onto the stage when the crowd's cheering stops as the room goes entirely dark.
(Blaine POV)
"Guys, I don't see Kurt" I point out when the group forms a line and Mike starts pushing a cart with a weird machine and cups on it.
"Your right" they say when they look at each teen and don't find Kurt
"And Rachel is missing as well" Wes says and then gasps "You don't think those two are going to do a duet, do you?" he asks me.
"Looks like it" I say and we all stand up to clap and hoot along with the rest of the crowd.
"Damn, they better make it a bad one or else we're doomed" Wes whines.
"They better not, I don't want to win because the other team lowered their bar for us, and I want to win because we were simply better" I state and they all nod in agreement.
The room suddenly goes dark and Nick whispers "This is going to be good"
The light suddenly lands center stage and there is Rachel wearing a beautiful red dress, she smiles and begins to sing
I'm limited Just look at me - I'm limited
And just look at you
You can do all I couldn't do, Glinda
So now it's up to you
For both of us - now it's up to you...
A second and third light land on stage and Mercedes, Tina and Mike come into view but when the second voice begins I know that is isn't any of them singing
I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you...
A fourth, fifth and sixth light land on stage revealing the rest of New Directions but again none of them are singing. "No way" Jeff whispers when he too recognizes the voice
Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you I have been changed for good
A final light lands on stage and illuminates Kurt; he's wearing skinny jeans with a button down black shirt, red vest and tie. And suddenly I realize why they chose the song; it captures all their feelings in the lyrics.
It well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetime
So let me say before we part
So much of me Is made from what I learned from you
You'll be with me
Like a handprint on my heart
She places her hand over Kurt's heart and they begin to sing facing each other. I can tell that they've blocked us out and singing only for themselves, loosing themselves in the lyrics and feelings.
And now whatever way our stories end I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend...
Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a skybird
In a distant wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
By this point Kurt is next to Rachel and takes her hand as they continue to sing.
Because I knew you
I have been changed for good
And just to clear the air I ask forgiveness
For the things I've done you blame me for
But then, I guess we know
There's blame to share
And none of it seems to matter anymore
They're truly singing their hearts out in the performance and I'm not surprised when I look around and see some with tears in their eyes.
Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a bird in the wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
I do believe I have been Changed for the better
And because I knew you...
Because I knew you...
Because I knew you...
I have been changed for good...
When the song finishes, the whole crowd stands and begins to clap and yell so loudly that I know we just lost the competition. "We really are doomed" Jeff says and sits and slouches dramatically in his seat.
"No we're not" I say happily
"Really?" he says and sits up
"Nope" I say, popping the "p" childishly "But it made you happy again so get up and come with me to congratulate Kurt" I say and smile when I not only does Jeff begin to follow me but the rest of the Warblers as well.
(Kurt POV)
"Oh my God! You guys were absolutely marvelous" yells Gabe excitedly
"Group hug" demands Santana and tackles me. The others join in and soon enough we're all crying. "This sucks" Santana says into my shoulder.
"You better text, call and come visit us often, white boy" says Mercedes, hiccupping.
"Will do, my lady" I say and kiss her cheek "Now let go, you guys are starting to give me an asthma attack" as soon as I say this they break off worriedly.
"Are you okay?" asks Puck
"Yeah, I was just starting to feel a little crowded" I say and take deep breathes.
"Do you think we'll win?" asks Brittany
"Yes you will" says someone from behind me and I turn to see Blaine and the rest of the Warblers standing there.
"Where'd the confidence go?" I ask him and wrap my arms around him and rest my chin on his shoulder.
"Down the drain as soon as I heard you both singing that" he says softly "You guys make great duet partners and you picked the best song for these times, so not only did you sing beautifully but you also made us feel your sadness"
"I told you I would lead them straight to New York if this is my last performance and I believe I did" I say and kiss the side of his neck "And you know what?" I ask him
"What?" he asks and turns to look at me.
"I have a better duet partner" I smile "Our voices would fit very well and as soon as that trophy is in Rachel's hands it won't be counted as cheating" I say. His eyes widen cutely and he points at himself "Yes, you silly" I say and kiss him sweetly.
We pull back when the girls let out a big "Awwwww"
"Is it gay of me to say that that was hot?" asks Mike
"No man, not with them anyway; I'm a sex shark and as manly as you can get and I still find Hummel as hot as hell" says Puck and we all laugh.
"And he's a great kisser" Brittany points out
"What?" demands Blaine
"I went through a straight phase" I laugh "It sucked and only lasted for about four days"
"Oh, alright but no more kissing girls" he says and I lift my eyebrow "Wait. And no guys either. No kissing anyone but me" he says and they all laugh.
"Wouldn't dream of it" I say. I put a hand on Blaine's face and another in his hair and start to lean forward, Blaine meets me halfway and kisses back. He wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me closer, suddenly I feel something wet on my bottom lip and instantly open my mouth and let Blaine's tongue explore. My hand leaves his cheek and begins to drift lower, I'm about to cup his-
"Guys!" everyone yells and we groan but pull back.
"What is it?" I ask, a little annoyed,
"You may have been too busy eating each other's faces but they're about to announce the winner" says Gabe and we smile at each other before joining our teams to await the final result.
One of the judges comes on stage, picks up some envelopes and the microphone. "I'm bored and tired so I'll just skip to the part where I announce the winner" he says dryly and opens one of the envelopes. "And the winner is…" he says and reads the page "The New Directions" he says and hands us our trophy.
Rachel and the others jump up and down with joy. "We did it Kurt" says Gabe beside me "We got them to New York" he smiles and leads me to another group hug.
"I believe this belongs to you, Kurt" says Mr. Shue and hands me the trophy
"What? Guys, I can't take this, it belongs in McKinley" I say and try to hand it back but they all shake their heads.
"No it doesn't, we all know that this win was thanks to you, you came up with most of the original song and it was your beautiful voice that made us win and you also helped us come up with another original song for New York so you deserve the trophy" says Mercedes and pushes the trophy to me.
"I appreciate it" I say and hand it over to Gabe "But my arm isn't 100% yet, so you carry it" I say and we all make our way out of the auditorium. They stop to talk outside the building when I notice that I left my phone in the car and needed to call my dad to tell him we had won. "I have to go to my car, I'll be right back" I say and start to walk away
"We'll come with you" offers Blaine but I wave him off.
"It's fine I have Sam and Nate with me" I say and point at each bodyguard
"Okay but shout if you need anything" he says and motions for me to put the cast back on.
I'm so focused on getting the cast back on that I don't notice the suspicious movement and noise around us. I lift my head when I'm done and am about to get my keys out of my pocket when two guys tackle both Sam and Nate to the ground. I instantly reach for my guns but before I can aim them someone tackles me as well and they fall out of reach, we roll around the ground, each of us throwing punches and kicks to try to subdue the other. By the time I kick him off, I have a bloody nose, split lip and a gash on my head where he slammed me against the hard concrete. I manage to stand up without getting caught by him or the other two guys that came to back him up; the three of them pull a knife from the sheath on their belts and surround me.
I look around for anything to help me defend myself when I remember that Sam had made me start carrying knives with me since we came back from Paris; I move to pull it out of the sheath on my ankle when one of them launches and manages to cut my cheek slightly, as more swings are made I keep dodging, punching and kicking to fight them off. They begin to make leave more space for an attack when they start to get tired and I go for it before that gap of opportunity is taken away. I grab my knife and launch for the attacker on my right, I move fast, just push the blade in and out of his gut and he goes down with a cry, I have enough time to kick his knife out of reach before the guy closest to me swings the knife to help his friend, I back kick him straight on the face before lashing out on the remaining attacker, I manage to stab him straight on the heart and his lifeless body crumples to the ground. I'm so shocked that I forget about the remaining guy and only manage to lift my left arm in time to stop the blade from doing any serious damage. I cry out when the blade goes right through and pull it away, bringing the knife with me, as I stare at my bleeding hand I realize that my last attacker was now weaponless so I tackle him to the ground and slash his throat as soon as he hits the ground; I stay on top of him, not once looking away as he stares at me as he dies, I'm so focused that I don't notice my friends running towards us and screaming or gasping as soon as they see us.
I don't acknowledge them even after the man is dead because I can't seem to take my eyes off of the dead man under me, I look at the body to my right and see the man I killed earlier lying there in a pool of blood, I look beyond him and see the man I had stabbed holding his bleeding side and I instantly stand up and put my right hand on top of his trying to help control the bleeding.
"Are they all dead?" he asks between gasps of pain
"Y-y-yes" I manage to force out
"It seems I'm about to join my brothers" he says weakly, takes his mask off and stares my in the eyes "You know there'll be more of us"
"I do and like you and the rest of your friends today, they will either be killed or wounded in their attempt to kidnap, hurt or kill me or my brother" I say truthfully "Who sent you?"
"I can't tell you, they'll hurt my family" he says and screams out in pain when I put more pressure on the wound.
"You just said your brothers are dead so what the hell do you care who they hurt" I say angrily.
"Family goes beyond blood" he says and coughs up blood "I'm sure you're well aware" he says and starts coughing violently so I let go of the wound and stand up. "You better be careful Kurt Hummel because they're coming for you" he manages to say through the coughing.
"Bring it on but you better bring an army because the sad excuse of the attack group you sent today won't be enough" I say and leave him to die alone as I walk to pick up my guns.
"Sam" I yell as I holster my guns
"Yeah, Kurt?" he yells back, running to get to my side.
"Did you kill any of yours?" I ask
"No, I shot two of them but the others took them with them when they saw you kill the first one" he says, wiping some blood off his neck
"And you Nate?" I ask the brunette
"Yes, I killed two and wounded another but they took him as well" he offers "Are you okay?" he asks worriedly.
"I'm fine" I say and look back at the corpses "Take care of those" I order
"Will do" Sam says and steps away from us so he can make the necessary calls.
"How do you feel?" asks Nate when we're alone
"I fucking killed three men today, I get that all of this will be part of my life someday, trust me I get it but I'm sixteen, so yeah I'm a little freaked out and kind of don't know how to process all of this but I'll be fine" I say with no conviction.
"I'll go tell Blaine to ride with you" he says and runs off.
I wait for Sam to come back to see if it was all fine "So?" I ask when he's beside me.
"It's all set; they'll be here in twenty minutes. I'll stay behind and supervise." He assures and gestures to something behind me, I turn and see both groups of teenagers standing there, some shaking, crying or simply pale but all looking scared "You might want to make sure they're okay and make them leave as well" he points out.
"Yeah" I say and walk towards them "You all need to get out of here, I suggest you forget about this and not think to hard about it or you'll get nightmares, I know Dalton has a great psychologist at hand so if you guys need it go to her without hesitation and for New Directions, I'll send you all the number of a great one" I say emotionlessly "But you really need to go now, if you need anything just call me" I say and motion them to move. They are still so scared that they do as I say, except for Blaine of course but him I actually need here right now so I just smile at him and walk to my car.
"Give me the keys" Gabe says when I move to the driver's side
"What?" I ask, a little out of it.
"Give me the keys and get in the back with Blaine, I'm taking you to the E.R to get that hand checked out" he says and takes the keys out of my hand.
I nod and silently get in the back, Blaine following close behind. "Gabe turn on the heater" Blaine says when we pull out of the parking lot. "You're shaking, love" he says and pulls me onto his lap and wraps his arms around me.
"I don't think it's because of the cold" I say. I lay my head on his shoulder, close my eyes and try to get the shaking under control.
"I know but it helps if your warm" he whispers and begins to run his hand up and down my back "No one expects you to be fine with this, Gabe told us that this was your first kill so I just want you to know that I'm right here whenever you need me and that it's fine if you break down. I… I think I'd be a little worried if you didn't, you just killed three men" he whispers in my ear.
"I can't get their blood off of me" I whisper and open my eyes to stare at my right hand where the blood is starting to dry.
Blaine looks down as well and covers my hand with his "We'll get you cleaned up at the hospital and we'll call your dad, I think he knows what to say better than any of us" he says and pulls me closer when he sees the tears in my eyes "I'm glad you're alive Kurt, I don't know what I would do without you" he whispers and that does it, I break down right there. I burry my face in his neck and cry my heart out.
I hope the chapter didn't disappoint.
Please, please review.
