Hey everybody- I really need to write something happy right now, things are just piling up for me- and writing about happy things makes me happy. So, here it goes.
It was Friday afternoon- One Direction was gathered for one last meeting, Mr. Schue was going to talk about what would happen after the holidays, but first Tyler wanted to perform. He took an acoustic guitar, jumped up to sit on the piano and started.
Through the whole song- that was for me I couldn't stop smiling. At last the singing stopped, Tyler put the guitar away and then came sitting next to me.
"I love you so much." I whispered and leaned against him.
"Love you too." He whispered back, while Mr. Schue stood up and started talking about what would happen after the holidays.
"So, now you´re going to have nine full days with doing whatever you want. But before that I just need a couple of more minutes to tell you what will happen afterwards. We´ve got a first glee- club meeting Tuesday, March the seventh, at four thirty P.M. Right here" Mr. Schue pointed to the floor where he stood. "We´ll go through some songs, then we´ll do it again on the Thursday, on Friday we have an extra meeting to decide songs, the next week, it´s the week for Regionals, then we´ll train the songs Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday from half past four to six P.M. On Thursday from half past two to five, and on Friday…" Mr. Schuester riffled through the papers he held. "The bus is going to leave from here, at exactly one thirty P.M. The competition starts at six P.M. In the aula at stonewall high, first up are the singing stones, next vocal adrenaline and then we´re last. Bus home leaving at eight. Any questions?" Nobody said a word.
"So apparently there´s no questions." Aiden said and reached down to the floor for his bag and jacket. "And that means we can all go home and enjoy our holidays."
"Not so fast Aiden O´Malley," Mr. Schue answered. Aiden stopped in the middle of a movement, then sighed and leaned back in his chair again. Mr. Schue smiled, and then said the last few words.
"I want you all to have a great holiday, and if you do any kind of homework, I´m forbidding you all to do any else then to think about songs for Regionals, now off you go. See you next Monday." I took my bag and pulled my jacket on while chattering with Connor and Tyler.
"Lex?" Mr. Schue said when I was almost out of the choir room.
"Yes?"
"Is Finn coming home over the holidays?"
"Yeah, I think he´s coming tomorrow."
"Say hi to him from me, to Burt and Carole as well."
"I will. Have a good holiday Mr. S."
"You too." I walked out of the school- building. And still chattering with Connor and Tyler we walked towards our streets.
"I finally told my mum about the cruise yesterday."
"Oh yeah, what did she say then?"
"She´s going mad because I´ll be gone on my eighteenth birthday."
"You will? When´s that?"
"July the fifth."
"Seriously Lex, you and Tyler went on your first date in October, finally got together in November and you don´t know his birthday until now."
"No I didn´t. How could I? No one ever told me!"
"Even I knew it."
"Yeah but you and Tyler´s been best friends since like Kindergarten."
"That´s true. Bye guys." I waved off when I continued to a side- road towards my place, and they continued straight ahead. For the first time in a long time, the house was completely empty so I had to unlock the door myself. Ma would be home by six, pops about half an hour later, so there wasn´t many hours I would be home alone.
About half an hour before ma would come home I laid in the sofa with my laptop in front of me, when my phone beeped and vibrated.
Me and Burt are doing some grocery shopping before we get home, be back by seven, anything special you want?
Ma wrote in a text message, I clicked the reply button ad quickly replied to her.
K, no, nothing special, see u then.
I put the phone down again and riffled through the pages on facebook while for the hundredth time checking if the sound on the laptop couldn´t go any louder, I played music as loud as possible- but it just wasn´t loud enough, when a thought hit me.. maybe…. No it probably wouldn´t work…. Just maybe... Oh I had to try. I stood up and searched though the drawers under the TV, and I also found something that I could use. The cord I found could be plugged into the loudspeaker on the computer, and then in the TV. I plugged it in and put the TV on AV- mode, and then turned the volume up on both the laptop and the TV, then I put on a song that I liked and…
"YES." I boxed in the air as loud music echoed through the house. Could barely believe I had just came up with all this myself, as I usually wasn´t too good with technique. The rest of the time I was alone in the house I played music and did what I wanted to do. "LEX." Burt´s shout made me look up, he showed me to turn the music off.
"You shouldn´t listen to so loud music, it will hurt your ears. Carole said, I shrugged and pulled out the cord from the TV and laptop, and then put the laptop back on the living room table.
"There´s someone waiting for you outside." Burt exclaimed, I raised an eyebrow, I wasn´t expecting anybody.
"Go see for yourself." I pulled my shoes on and walked outside, only a couple of meters from the stairs to the door there stood a boy I easily recognized, holding a hello- kitty doll almost as big as him.
"FINN." I shrieked, ran over and hugged him.
"Hey li´l sis- soon to be at least." I let go off him and took a step back.
"Mum told me about everything that´s been going on lately. So I bought this for you- so you will have someone to hug or to listen even when you´re home alone." He held up the huge Hello- kitty doll. "But… I´d forgotten how small you actually are, I think I`ll have to take this upstairs for you myself."
"Good idea." I said Finn smiled and carried the doll inside and up the stairs.
"I thought you weren´t coming ´til tomorrow." I said
"Took a day off to surprise you all. Oh, and Rebeccah´s coming on Sunday, staying until Wednesday."
Burt pov
On Saturday I saw Carole standing by the kitchen window, I walked over to her and laid my arms around her shoulders and my chin on her head, while I watched how Finn was trying to pick Lex up to throw her in the snow. This was something that was made during loads of laughter from both parts of the game.
"How did we even survive before we had Lex in our family?" I said. Because during the months that Lex had lived with us, she had always seemed to be a natural part of our family.
"I have no idea." Carole answered me, while we watched Finn actually getting a good griå of Lex and throwing her in the biggest pile of snow, but Lex was sneaky- and grabbed him with both of her hands- which lead to the fact that she pulled Finn with her, and soon they both laid in the snow- like two turtle´s on their backs.
Lex pov
"By the way." Finn started when we came inside. "I think I´ve found a solution for that problem with that you would have too many names if you had both Hudson and Hummel as surnames."
"You did?"
"Yeah, how ´bout making kind of a mash up, and that we all switch our names to either Hudmel or… like Humson?"
"Humson?"
"Well, people´s actually called us the Hudmel´s since mum and Burt got married, so it wouldn´t make that too big of a difference. What do you say about that?" Finn looked to ma and pops. They looked to each other.
"Hudmel?"
"Not bad."
"I`ll go call Kurt, ask what he thinks about it." Pops said and pulled out his cellphone from his pocket. He walked to the living room, and when he came back he had a huge smile on his face.
"Kurt likes it."
"So… I guess we´ll all have ourselves a new surname in a while won´t we?" I smiled.
"I guess we do."
