"Something arrived for you in the post today." Kurt, Blaine and Burt sat by the table when I came home, Kurt pushed an envelope towards me, I opened it and found a folded paper- the letter was with Katheryn´s handwriting and there were a bunch of photos in it.
"I´m going upstairs. " I turned around, ignored Carole´s greeting- mostly because I neither heard nor saw anything but the letter, I sat down with my back against the wall, and held the letter in front of me.
My dearest Alexandria.
For a mother having to let her child go, just stand there and watch her baby go with someone else- to be forever. It isn´t easy, yes I know, it´s like you say it- I did it once before. But only God knows what I was thinking then- if I was thinking at all. But this time I am thinking- and that´s because I am now doing what´s best for the both of us. I know leaving´s making me an even worse coward- but I just can´t stand watching you go. I´ve signed the papers, taken copies of my favorite photos and sent you them. Now I´m letting you go.
Me and Zebastian are moving to Lovelock in Nevada. I´ve always loved Nevada, so we´re moving there to stay.
I know I´ve told you loads of times before- but never forget that I love you very much. I love you, Madelyn and Zebastian more than my own life- and I´m so, so sorry for doing all this to you. I wish you all luck in the future, and tell Burt and Carole that if they ever treat you bad, I´ll soon be there to strangle them with my own hands.
Mum
I sighed, stood up and walked downstairs again.
"She´s gone again." I threw the letter at the table, and riffled through the photos, I stopped at the last one- apparently Zeb had shot a photo when I and Katheryn hugged each other at the airport. All the pictures were on different pieces of my biological family. I shook my head and walked upstairs again, I sat down by my computer and logged into facebook- before I had checked everything- I wrote.
Being the part of a DNA that will always keep you the biological family is one thing- being a real family is a whole different thing.
Ethan, Marcie and Ben were asking New Directions to be in the choir room for an extra glee- club- meeting after school on Wednesday- God knows what they were planning.
"So," Ethan started the glee- club meeting the next day. "I´ll preform a song first, and then Ben and Marcie will… let´s leave it to them. So, this is my start." ´
"Don´t think Ben´s the only Morison who´s desperately falling for someone." I whispered to Tyler during the song. The song was about being in love and there was no way someone would not have seen how Ethan looked at Mariah. We clapped for Ethan, and then it was time for Ben and Marcie´s duet.
When Ben and Marcie ended the song with slowly going closer to each other, I gave Tyler a meaning look- and I was right, just as the last tone had rang out. They kissed.
"Whooooooo" Jasper shouted out.
"Though there wasn´t any need of Uncovering." Alice exclaimed. "Only a complete blind person could have missed that you two are in love."
When we were on our way out of the school me, Tyler, Ben, Marcie, Connor and Liam- god knows where Mariah was.
"So… Ben and Marcie… what does that make you?"
"What do you mean?"
"Pairing names you know… Tyler and Lex are Tylex, Tyler and Teeghan Teeler, Hayley and Jasper Hayper and so on. So what does that make you Men? Barcie?"
"Barcie sounds better." Marcie said. "But what does it make these two?" Marcie had seen what we all now saw- second kiss we watched this day. Ethan and Mariah this time.
"Methan?"
"Sounds like a short word for methamphetamines." Tyler said, I nodded.
"Ethiah?" Connor said, and we all nodded agreeing.
"You´re okay Liam?"
"Sure… she´s had boyfriends before, I know what this will be like. I can´t keep her from having boyfriends." Mariah and Ethan now came up to us. "But if that bastard," Liam said that with a smile on his face to let us know he was joking. "Hurts my sister, then I´ll strangle him."
"Can you imagine Ethan hurting a fly?" Connor asked Liam.
"Nope." Liam asked him. And that´s when I understood, I didn´t need Katheryn anymore, they were out of my life- I had another kind of family with ma and pops, Kurt, Rebeccah, Finn and Blaine, and not least my friends in glee club. To be a family you didn´t need to share a piece of DNA. You just needed to be there for each other. Always.
