«Sure you can. The stage is yours, Blaine!»
Kurt gasped when he realized he finally got a name on this beautiful boy. Blaine is sitting at the piano in the choir room and starts to play softly. Kurt recognizes the song. It is a Britney Spears song, and while he is listening a lump is forming in his throat. Blaine start to sing with a very fragile voice and the goosebumps are popping up all over Kurt´s body.
«Notice me, take my hand
Why are we strangers when
our love is strong
Why carry on without me?
Everytime I try to fly,
I fall
Without my wings,
I feel so small
I guess I need you, baby….»
Kurt is mesmerized once again. It is like someone put some kind of spell on him. He feel like he is floating and his blood is pumping. It is almost like Kurt can feel everything Blaine feels when he sings. It is so honest and Kurt can see some of the others in the choir room have tears in their eyes. The song ends and everything is quiet and Kurt is frozen on the spot in the hallway.
Blaine´s voice, thick with emotions, breaks the silence.
«I-I just need…» He point toward the door and suddenly he is moving towards Kurt.
Kurt is trying to make his body react, but it is to late. He is going to be seen. But in a desperate attempt to hide he is actually moving in the wrong direction and crashes right into the boy who is rushing out of the choir room.
For about two seconds, there is total silence again before Blaine scrambles to his feet, reaches out his hand for Kurt to take and helps him up. His eyes aren´t looking directly at Kurt this time.
«Sorry…» He says and rushes away down the hallway.
Kurt is trying to catch up with what just happened. For once his brain is shutting down instead of working overtime like it uses to. He can hear the Glee Club starting up again like nothing happened, or maybe it is something that happens all the time, Kurt wonders.
He is trying to work out what to do. And his brain is slowly starting to function again.
«B» he thinks. Kurt sends a text with trembling fingers.
From Kurt:
«I kind of need your help with something!»
He doesn´t get an answer. Kurt waits for a couple of minutes, but nothing. B may be busy with something and Kurt needs to decide what to do. He takes a deep breath and starts to move down the hallway where he last saw Blaine.
«If I needed to hide or be alone, where would I go?» Kurt thinks. The Library is Kurt´s first thought, but he doubts that is where Blaine went of to.
«An empty class room?» That is a possibility and at this hour it is several empty rooms at the school and Kurt has to be lucky to find him if that is the case.
And then it hits him. If the Library is out of the question, Kurt would go to one of the bathrooms where he can lock himself in and be completely alone. And so late in the afternoon, the school is almost empty and the bathrooms will be too.
Kurt stops outside the nearest bathroom door. He looks at his phone, that he has been clutching in his hand, one more time. Nothing. He opens B number and his thumb is hovering over the call button. He desperately needs someones advice. He presses call and while his hands are shaking, he lifts the phone towards his ear. All he can hear is his own heart beating in his ears.
A/N: The song mentioned is Britney Spears «Everytime». So, what do you think will happen next? Reviews are very welcome! :) -J
