Chapter 10: it gets better.

-About 50 years later-

"Blaine?" I asked as I came into the house, carrying my new shopping swag." Blaine? Honey?" I asked again when there was no respond. He couldnt have gone somewhere, he always like to stay and watch some romantic comedies in the movie room in that day, but there was no one there when I checked it. Where else could he be? Melody is in vacation with her husband and the kids, so he cant be with them…I put the stuff on the floor and walked to the living room, it was empty as well." Blaine?"

"Im over here," I heard him saying, let out a sigh of relief (knowing my husband is really sensitive in this day and god knows where he could be if not the house) and looked to where his voice came from, the back porch. I walked outside and saw him, sitting on one of the two chairs, on a small table was a pitcher of iced tea and he wasn't even looking at me. He held a glass of ice-tea in one hand and stared into the air. I sighed and stepped outside, sitting on the chair next to him, poring myself a glass as well and waited for him to speak first. It happened about 5 minutes later.

"Can you believe its been 50 years since?" he asked, still not looking at me. We both hated that day so much, but we weren't able to forget it. Each year, Blaine always stayed home while I was binge shopping in the town till noon, I both everything, from food to cloths and from toothbrushes to presents for our grandchildren. Even though most of that was gone by the end of the week, which was what helped me deal with the pain and memories.

"No," I said." its seemed like it was just a few weeks ago." I admitted and he nodded." I cant believe we got so old and wrinkle," I said and he laughed, causing me to smile.

"You know youll always be that 18 year old boy to me," he said, trying to comfort me.

"Like that doesn't make me feel even older,"

"But we are still not old enough to forget…"he sighed with a sad smile. So that was why he woke up so frightened this morning…one of the perks of being a Glee game winner is that you get ugly and horrifying dreams that hunts you forever.

"You just need to remember that all of that horrible stuff that happened caused good stuff," I said." Think about it," I covered his hand in mine." if we have never got selected in the reaping day, we probably wouldnt be sitting here together today," I said and he smiled.

"you are right;" he said (always a pleasure hearing him admitting it out loud.)"Good stuff happened since then…"Yay! Bringing up memories!

"a lot of Ups and downs…"I added." like the second month after we got back home, when you came to visit me in district 2…"

"Oh my god, I was so scared," he said and smiled from the memory.

"You were scared? Think about what I felt!"

…………………………………

 I was walking down the halls of my school, I had one more class left (the mutiny caused not only the defeat of the Gleetol but also the cancelation of the games so I didnt have any training.) and the class was French so it wouldn't be so bad…I was grabbing my books from my locker when someone bumped into me.

"Sorry Kurt, I need to run." he said, Ive known the boy, his name was Victor, we had math together.

"Where?" I asked but he was gone.

"Aren't you going too?" I heard a voice behind me and turned around to see Wade Adams, dressed as a boy for a change.

"Why should I?"I asked, closing my locker.

"Well…everybody is running to meet your boyfriend, so I thought..."he said causally.

"What do you mean?" I asked, raising my eyebrows.

"you boyfriend, he is looking for you but everybody Surrounded him and Jared is making his way to there in this very moment so I would go if I were you," he said.

"Wait, Blaine is here?" I asked, he nodded and then the rest of what he said sank in, my eyes widen. Jared was one of the hottest gay guys in our school, he could have any guy he wanted and he wanted all of them. If it was up to me, I wouldn't let him to be 50 feet from Blaine…I immediately started to run down the hall.

"They are next to the cafeteria Kurt!" I heard Wade yelling and I changed my direction.

"Thanks Wade!" I yelled and I heard him chuckle. I ran as fast as I could and reached to the cafeteria, what I saw was horrifying. There was practically and wall of kids, boys and girls in a big group, all were around something, and I had a pretty good feeling about what or who this something was.

"Back off people, "I heard the most annoying voice on the planet. Jared Nilsson.

"I want to have a little chat with the hottie," he said with his cocky smile and (as always) everybody went out of his sight, revealing Blaine, small, wearing a polo shirt with a bowtie and shoes with no socks, and looking absolutely adorable. I smiled at his sight, only now it hit me exactly how much I really missed him. Jared walked closer to him and offered him his hand to shake. "Hi, Im Jared Nilsson," Blaine hesitated but shook his hand.

"Blaine Anderson," he said after a moment.

"I know who you are, everybody does," he sent him a charming smile and Blaine let go of his hand, already knowing his not-that-much-of-a-secret Intentions, I already felt my blood begin to boil. But what could I do? I couldn't just go and take Blaines hand and drag him away could I? Could I…?

"So you must also know I have a boyfriend," Blaine said and I stop myself from yelling from happiness.

"Oh please, you havent been dating for so long and Im sure he hooked up with someone while you weren't here for him," he said and I almost broke the wall I was hiding behind.

"no he didnt," I was flattered from how sure Blaine was and I smiled." he would never cheat on me, just like I would never cheat on him, "he said and Jared cocky grin grew even bigger.

"There were so many guys who said it…but it never stopped me…"he said in a low voice rested his hand on Blaines cheek. Oh no mister! As much as I wanted to see Blaine rejects the impossible-to-reject guy, no one who is not me can be kissing distance from Blaine.

"You better keep your hands to yourself Nilsson," I said calmly and the two turned to me, Blaine smiled and so did I. "hey Blaine," I said and he walked to me, pulling me into a hug.

"I missed you so much,"

"Me too, you have no idea," I said.

"If you don't mind Hummel, Blaine and I were in the middle of a conversation," Jared said but we didn't even notice.

"What are you doing here?" I asked Blaine, our arms still wrapped around each other.

"What do you think?" he asked." I couldn't wait anymore to see you,"

"Oh my god Im so happy you are here!" I said and kissed him for the first time in two months.

"Umm hello?" I heard Jared saying buy I kept on ignoring.

"Come on, we need to catch up." I said and took Blaines hand, walking away. I think Jared stayed there for a while before he understood Blaine wasnt coming back.

…………………………………

"It was so much fun that day, we walked around the district and drank coffee, and then you introduced me to your mom…"he said, lost in his own world." Too bad I had to go home the next morning,"

"Yeah, it  was a really tough time with the whole long distance relationship thing," I had to admit, even Blaine and I couldn't handle it, we broke up somewhere in that time but we got back together about a month later, I never want to go through  that again.

"But then you moved to district 10…"he said with a smile.

…………………………………

"A little more to the left," I determined and got back to hold the couch Blaine and I were moving around for the last half hour" come on," I said and we lift it up." okay stop," I said and stepped away. Looking at the living room. Still not perfect. "A little more to the right," I decided and Blaine growled in frustration.

"Kurt, I really don't want to complain but you have to make up your mind!" He said, leaning over the couch, obviously worn out.

"Im trying, and don't worry, we don't have much left,"

"Yeah right, just the kitchen, bedroom and 206 suitcases full of clothes," and said and I sighed.

"Im sorry Im working you so hard," I apologized and walked closer to him, wrapping my arms around his neck." lets just finish this up and then we can take a long bath and sleep till tomorrow evening okay?" I offered and he smile before kissing me softly.

"Okay."

…………………………………

"I was sore for a week after that,"

"Like you regret it," I said cockily.

"Not ever." he confirmed." It was exactly a year later when I moved in,"

"And took half of the closet…"I said and he rolled his eyes with a smile.

"You cooked me dinner as you always promised,"

"and we sang all of Katy Perrys songs as duets after we finish 2 bottles of wine," I said and we both laughed." What does that remind you of?" I asked and he buried his head in his hand.

…………………………………

"Honey! Im home!" I heard Blaines voice yelling along with the door opening and closing behind him." Always wanted to say that…"he stated to himself as he walked to the living room where I was working on my new design. He walked to me and hugged me from behind." I missed you so much," he said and I wrinkle my nose at the smell of alcohol on his breath." I went to that really awesome bar and they just brought some new drinks from district 5 and it was great! I feel really good!" He yelled happily and I pushed him off me gently .I knew I shouldn't have let him go alone…

"Lets get you to bed," I said and he frowned.

"I don't want to go to bed," he said in a childlike voice but then yawned.

"Trust me, you need it." I said and lead him to the stairs. He fell 3 times during our trip up to the bedroom and I couldn't stop myself from laughing at him. Over the 5 years we were dating, I came to learn that Blaine had a little soft spot for alcohol, all it took was giving him a beer or two and he was totally wasted, but whatever he drank tonight was much stronger than beer, which kind of explained what happen next.

"Strip," I ordered as we entered the room. I walked to the closet and pulled a pair of pajamas Blaine particularly loved.

"Aren't you gonna strip too?" he asked in a small innocence voice and I chuckled.

"No, just you this time." I said and when I turned around he was already sitting at the edge of the bed with boxers only." wear this and go to bed, "I ordered and handed the cloths to him before walking towards the bathroom. I pulled the rug away from the toilet and left the door wide open, so when Blaine run here to vomit nothing will stay in his way and in case he miss the toilet, my rug wouldn't be ruined.

"Stupid buttons," he grumbled as he tried to put on the shirt properly. I laughed and walked over, moving his hands away and doing it myself.

"You need to stop getting so drunk," I said and he looked confused.

"All of the Glee games winners getting themselves drunk," he said and I shook my head.

"Its not the same, you are not addicted, you are a sane human being and all of this is not healthy for you," I said and he nodded.

"But if I do get drunk again, you will be there for me right?" he askedwhispered insecure.

"Of course. Ill always be there to get you to bed and bring water and pills when you wake up the next morning," I confirmed and Blaine lay back on the bed, waiting for me to do so as well." no, Im not going to bed now, I have to finish some stuff,"

"But I need you with me so I can fall asleep," he said and I chuckled, kneeling in front of the bed.

"Don't worry, Ill be here in the morning when you will be vomiting you soul out." I said and he nodded.

"I love you, you know that?" he said and I smiled.

"I love you too; I wouldn't be here if I didnt." I said and something in his face changed." what is it?"

"But you wouldn't be with me forever…" he whispered, most likely to himself.

"Of course I will, where is that coming from?"

"You cant promise that…"he sighed and rolled over, turning his back at me. Well, that kind of drunk Blaine was new, how do I deal with it?

"Honey don't be upset," I said and rested my hand over his shoulder but he shook it off .at least he will be back to normal in the morning. I sighed." what can I do to make you happy again?" so youll go to sleep and I can go back to work. I said and I could feel an evil smile appearing on Blaines face even though I couldn't see.

"Well…there is something…"he said in a shy voice and turned to me, I played along.

"So tell me and Ill do it," I said and he looked at me with big clear eyes, like the alcohol haze was gone for that split second.

"You can say that…youll marry me," he said and my eyes widen a little in surprise.

"You want me to marry you?"

"yes," he said like it was obvious." dont you want to marry me?" he asked surprisingly.

"I…I do," I said honestly, hoping Blaine wont remember any of this in the morning...

"Good. Now all you have to do is to say you will marry me and you can leave," he said and waited. I chuckled. Okay then, here it goes.

"Blaine Devon Anderson, I will marry you." I said, he smiled satisfy from himself, I kissed his forehead and stood up.

"Good night future husband," I heard him say as I came out of the room.

"Good night, Blaine."

…………………………………

"Im still surprise I remembered all this consider how much I drank,"

"Well, if you didn't remember, the morning after wards would have been even more awkward,"

…………………………………

When I woke up the next morning, everything was just like I thought it would be. I saw the bathroom door was open and then I heard Blaine vomiting before he walked outside and laid back on the bed. He growled when his head hit the pillow, it was probably bursting from pain.

"Why are you keeping doing it to yourself?" I asked and he turned his head to me, finally noticing Im awake.

"I honestly don't know, it always leads to bad things," he admitted, sitting slowly to take the pill and water I left on his nightstand before I went to sleep last night, just in case he will wake up before I do." with the exception of last  night,"

"Yes...last night was…interesting…"I said. Blaine was still with his back on me so I added quietly…"do you even remember what happened?"

"I proposed to you in a moment of mental weakness," he said and laid back on the bed, not looking at me.

"Just for you to know, I would have said yes if you asked me," I said and he raised an eyebrow.

"Was that you trying on asking me indirectly?" he asked and I snored.

"no, thats not gonna happen because you are the one who should be asking me because I asked you to be together and I asked you to move in,"

"What does that have to do with anything?!"

"So now its your turn," I said, folding my arms over my chest in protest.

"But basically you already said yes, so I don't need to ask." he said smirking evilly.

"I didnt say yes, I said d that if you asked me I will say yes but I didn't say yes because you didnt ask me." I said defensively, the words flowing out of my mouth in an unnatural speed.

"But technically, I asked you last night and you said you will marry Me." he said, waiting for my next argument. But all Ive got was:

"That doesn't count, you weren't yourself." god Kurt! Thats the best you were able to come up with?!

"How does the fact I as drunk, changes anything?"

"It just does, okay?!"I said and Blaine looked at me for the first time since we started that pointless argument, like he now for the first time taking it seriously (just like what happened in all of our other pointless arguments-we had a few.)

"Kurt…"he said, resting his hand on mine." does it really bother you?" he asked and I looked away from him." it does." He whispered to himself.

"its just that youve always acted like it was just something that had to be done, something that I always wanted and you were gonna  do that just to make me happy," I said." And I was okay with it until yesterday when you acted like it was a joke," I said and he squeezed my hand. Then I felt his hand cupping my cheek, turning me so our eyes met." I know, Im getting mushy, Im sorry."

"its not a joke," he said" I want it just as much as you do, to be together forever and start a family, I want that one day when we are old and wrinkle well sit together on the porch, drink ice tea and bring up memories of everything weve been through…"

…………………………………

"Oh…the irony," Blaine said and I chuckled.

"We are so cheesy,"

…………………………………

"So what are we waiting for? If I love you and you love me there is nothing to stop us,"

"I know, but you cant deny its gonna take a while, we need to make a gust list and find the perfect place and I know its gonna take you forever to make up your mind about the suits and Lolita needs to come all the way form district 2 and we have to pick the catering and-"I just let him keep talking because I now realized that Blaine just got away from proposing because we were now talking about the actual wedding. That bustard.

"Wait, wait…"I cut him off." are you saying what I think you are saying?"

"That depends on what do you think Im saying," he said and I rolled my eyes.

"Are we getting married?"

"We are getting married."

…………………………………

"It was such a beautiful ceremony," he said. I could tell he was imagining it in his head like I did.

"Sadly, I was crying during the whole thing," I said and he nodded.

"It was perfect anyway,"

"It was more than perfect, it was one of the best moments in my life," I admitted and we both smiled.

"What are the others? He asked and I thought for a moment before answering.

"The day when we had our first time, every anniversary, the day we found out we were pregnant, when I first held Melody in my arms…"I said and sighed. They grow up so fast…"and you?"

"Same, but including the day I first saw cooper, after the games,"

"How is he nowadays?" I asked, taking a sip from my drink.

"You know, he is doing anything a 77 year old would do, filming a new movie," he said and we both laughed.

"Tell him to come visit sometime, we should have a family reunion," I offered.

"Don't you remember what happened in the last family reunion?" He asked.

"What happened had nothing to do with the family reunion,"

"But still, I think Im kind of traumatize by that,"

…………………………………

Cooper, his second wife and their 6 year old son came to visit us when one of biggest fears had happened. Weve already finished dinner, we were talking while Coopers wife was pressing him to leave and the kids were playing back on Melodys room. Then, coopers son, Jake, came into the living room and sat in his mothers lap.

"Why aren't you playing with Melody?" Cooper asked.

"I wanted to play with her but she is different today," he said and his mother nodded, fakely understanding. I always hated that woman.

"What do you mean different?" I asked, she didn't seemed different when she came back from school today…

"I don't know, she is just sad..."

"Why? What happened?" Blaine asked worriedly.

"I don't know," Jake said, getting pissed off because he wasn't the center of intention for a second." Mommy, Im tired," he said. Blaine ignored him and looked at me with meaningful eyes.

"Ill go see whats wrong with her," I said to him and got off the couch, towards the stairs and walked to the hall that led to Melodys room. The door was closed. Wondering what happened that made her so upset…I knocked on the door

"Melody…?"I asked and slowly pushed the door open when I heard no response. I found my 7 year old daughter sitting on her bedroom floor, knees pulled to her chest; her curly hair was covering her face, hiding her big glasz eyes." sweetheart, whats wrong?" I asked in a soft voice, walking to her and sitting on the floor next to her." what is it? You can tell me everything…"I said and pushed her hair off her face, she looked at me for a second before diving into my lap, resting her little head over my chest and I clutched her closer.

"daddy…"she whimpered." something really bad happened today…"

"At school?" I asked and she nodded as I rubbed her back slowly.

"There is a girl in my class named Adriana Hicks, her cousin came to our school today because Adriana forgot her lunch, and she was blond and very beautiful. When she walked into the class, I saw she was looking at me weirdly." she said and I didn't understand the point." then, me and my friends were on our way to the cafeteria when they approached us."

"What did they want?" I asked. Hoping my girl is not getting bullied like Blaine and I were, or anything of this sort.

"At first, her cousin just looked at me, kind of stared actually and Adriana introduced us, her name was Beth Corcoran," Melody said and I froze. That name was so familiar.

"Then she asked me what my name is and I told her but she wanted to know my last name as well, when I told her, she became all teary and walked away." she said." Adriana walked after her and didn't answer me when I asked what I did wrong." she paused." Then, I asked my friends and they told me that…"she paused again but I already knew what she was about to say and I bit my lower lip." they said she is adopted and that you and papa killed her real parents, but not just them, they were more people that you murdered…"she said and looked up, her eyes piercing through mine" were they saying the truth?" she asked and that was the moment Blaine came into the room.

"Hey you two-"he started to say happily but stopped when he saw us.

"Wheres Cooper?" I asked.

"Theyve just left," Blaine said.

"Answer me, dad," Melody pushed, Blaine was confused.

"What happened?" he asked.

"Not now honey," I wasn't sure which honey I was talking to." I think we should talk about it later-"I tried to say but she cut me off, wondering where she got that from, and turned to Blaine.

"Papa," she stood up." did you and dad ever killed somebody?" she asked and Blaine froze. He didn't know how to answer that. I couldn't blame him, how are you supposed to explain to a 7 year old girl that her dads killed people in a thing called Glee games where you need to kill to entertain other people?

"Your dad is right, maybe we should talk about it in some other time..." he said and she walked away from both of us.

"So you two are murderers and everybody knows about it but me?" she asked, not really needing an answer. Blaine and I both stayed quite. She stopped looking at us and sat on her bed." would you leave me alone please?" she asked in a small voice." both of you just...leave."

"Sweetie please…"I pleaded.

"I want to be alone." she said coldly. I felt Blaines hand taking mine and leading me out of the room.

"Come on, its hopeless now." he said as we closed the door." well try to talk to her tomorrow."

"We shouldn't have kept that from her,"

"sure, right now we realized it was a mistake but shell calm down and then we can explain everything." he tried to calm me down but it didn't work because I was already imagining Melody taking her little pink suitcase and leaving the house in the middle of a night.

"But what are we gonna say?" I asked, she is right, we are murderers. Especially me.

"The truth," he said." we just need to figure out how to explain it in the right way," he said and I nodded.

-The next day, around lunch time-

"Cant we just tell her they were lying and everything is fine as long as she knows the truth?" Blaine asked from where he was near the table, setting it up. I shook my head, knowing hell get the message if I just shut up, and kept cutting the salad." dont stay quiet; it makes me even more nervous." he said as he walked to take the glasses to the table.

Its been going on all day, I was freaking out and Blaine calmed me down, then, a few minutes later, Blaine freaked out and I had to calm him down.

"Relax, everything is going to be okay, we got pasta which his favorite food and I bought that cheese cake she loves," I said and he chuckled.

"The one she loves or the one you love?" he asked and I rolled my eyes.

"And, if the whole thing wont go well, we can always buy her a pony," I said ad he sighed, hoping on the counter next to where I was cooking. After 16 years of dating and 10 years of marriage, I found out Blaine loved climbing on stuff.

"I don't know about that, but if she is getting a horse, then so am I," he said and I chuckled, stopped cutting the salad and transferred everything into a bowl before looking at him, a look was all it took." Im sorry, Im terrified." he said and I smiled calmly at him." what if shell still hate us? What are we gonna do then?"

"Well figure stuff out together, no matter what happens Im absolutely sure everything is gonna be just fine." I assured him and he nodded, wrapping his arms around my neck.

"Are you sure will do good enough?" he asked and I nodded once. "okay." he said and kissed me shortly.

"What time does she suppose to be here?" I asked, looking at the clock.

"If you include the fact she will take the long way home and stay talking to her friends after school and do everything possible to come home as late as she can without it seeing suspicious, I would say that shell be here in about…now." she said and then we heard the door opened and closed. Blaine hoped off the counter and walked out of the kitchen, I followed. Melody just passed us, her school bag hanging over one shoulder, her face not reflecting any emotion and her eyes didn't even peering towards us.

"Hey sweetie, you came just in time for lunch, you dad made your favorites," Blaine said cheerfully but Melody just kept on walking.

"Im not hungry," she said coldly and disappeared up the stairs. Blaine sighed and walked to the living room, crushing on the sofa.

"it was just the first try," I said and sat next to him." dont forget that she is really mad, it will take some time."

"I hate that feeling;" he said and rest his head over my shoulder." Are we bad parents?"

"Im not sure," I answered honestly." Well try again tonight okay?"

"Okay, Im just gonna go upstairs," he said and kissed me on the cheek before leaving. I sighed and closed my eyes. A few minutes later I turned on the TV and my old habit took over, watching the Glee games when Im depressed.

…………………………………

"You never told me how you managed to bring her down stairs and talk to us in the end," I said.

"Well, you never asked, I think you were too relieved to care," he said, taking a sip from his ice-tea.

"Well…Im asking you now…"I said and Blaine chuckled.

"If you say it like that," he said and he told me…

…………………………………

Blaine walked up the stairs, upset with all the situation .he intended to go to our room but something new yet very familiar that came from Melodys room made him go there instead.

… Ill be safe and sound Melody sung. She was singing! It was the first time either of us heard her sing, a privilege I got to enjoy only a couple of days later. Blaine walked towards the room, noticing the door wasn't completely closed.

Don't you dare look out your window, darling everythings on fire she was sitting on her bed, her guitar in her hands, she played it gently, looking into the air.

The war outside our door keeps raging on

Hold on to this lullaby

Even when the musics gone

Gone, none of us knew she could sing like that and Blaine was stunned, he barely stopped himself from stepping into the room. She was obviously mad, each one of us had some sort of purpose for singing that song on their own, I sang it when I was scared, Blaine sang it when he was sad and apparently Melody sang it when she was angry or…hurt.

Just close your eyes

The sun is going down

Youll be alright

No one can hurt you now

Come morning light

You and Ill be safe and sound… she kept on singing and Blaine kept on staring. As the song came to a close, Blaine clapped and walked into the room, causing Melody to jump in surprise and almost dropping the guitar on the floor.

"The was beautiful sweetheart, you have a lovely voice," he said and she looked away.

"Why were you eavesdropping on me? I want to be alone." she said and put the guitar back in its case, folding her arms over her chest.

"I wasn't on purpose. I was walking the hall and I heard you sing, that song means a lot to me and your dad," he explained and she nodded.

"I know, everybody said this is your signature piece, I don't understand how they knew that song anyway, and you used to sing it to me when I had nightmares. Actually, you still do." she said, not looking at him at all but he knew she wanted to know more.

"thats all part of  what me and you dad wanted to talk to you about today but you didn't even gave us a chance," he said.

"I can ask my friends, theyll tell me what I want to know," she said.

"Sure you can do that, but well prefer if you talked to us,"

"And what are you gonna tell me? That you didn't really kill someones parents? That dad didn't kill his best friend?"

"No, we aren't gonna lie to you, we did all of those things but we didn't do it for fun or because we had some unfinished businesses with those people,"

"So why?" she asked, looking at him for the first time.

"Because we were in a Glee game," he said simply and turned to walk out of the room.

"Whats a Glee game?" she asked and he evilly smiled to himself before turning around and saying…

"You are gonna need to come downstairs and talk to us is you want to know,"

…………………………………

"I should have known youll use that trick on her, it always work," I said.

"What can I tell ya, a father knows his daughter."

"But the other father knows her better,"

…………………………………

While they were talking up stairs, I was still on the couch in the living room, looking for something to watch to distract me. Then, I remembered what I always did when I was sad, so I can express my pain. I turned the TV on and changed to channel 1015, it was a special channel that called never again, and it wasn't something big, not fancy talk shows or anything, just a replay of all the Glee games. I looked at the TV and sadly smiled when I saw the Glee game Blaine and I were in was on. Now it was the blood bath so the camera was running around between people and dead bodies until it saddled on one particular couple. One of them was taller than the other, with wavy chestnut hair and way-too-pale skin and the other was curly and absolutely adorable. They eyes were looking deep into each others. They slightly higher one handed the other a bow and a bag of arrows and he took it with shaking hands

"Thanks," he whispered.

"You welcome," the other boy whispered back and the curly one nodded before becoming completely focused and shooting another tribute that was on his way to kill the other.

"Thanks," the taller one said and the other boy smiled a little.

"You welcome." He said in a small voice. I knew that if they weren't in that sad and depressing situation they would have laughed, which made me chuckle, Blaine and I had our own privet jokes even in the middle of a b battlefield.

"Why is daddy watching younger version of you two kissing…?"I heard my daughters voice coming from behind me. I turned around to face her and my husband who was standing next to her, looking amused.

"Don't tell me those stuff still help you feel better," he said and I rolled my eyes.

"They never made me feel better, its just a way to express my pain," I corrected him.

"What are you two looking about? Will someone finally explain to me what is happening?!"Melody burst out and Blaine and I laughed and smiled calmly at her. I turned the TV off.

-One long talks, later-

"I cant believe someone would be so heartless," Melody said. Blaine and I were sitting on both of her sides, waiting to hear if there is anything else she would like to know of." why would someone would do that to kids? Sent them to a remote place with killer bugs, poison plants and unexplainable weather, only so they could fight to the death?" she wondered.

"It probably was a very cruel person" Blaine said." but its all over now," he assured her.

"Yes honey, none of this will ever happen to you," I said, just in case she was afraid.

"I know…but from all of those people, they chose you two?"

"Yes," Blaine confirmed.

"And you won? Fair and square?"

"Fair and square." I said and silence followed." What do you feel honey?"

"Im fine, I guess. You had no choice but to do what you did so its better you killed people before they killed you….I just…I need to get Beths crying face outta my head and Ill be fine." she said and I sighed in relief. Thank god everything turned out alright.

"So you don't hate us anymore…?"Blaine asked hopefully and Melody evil-smirked.

"well…"she paused." Of course not, come here old men!" she said and opened up her arms and we hugged her tightly, smiling to each other.

…………………………………

"Ah…"Blaine sigh." they grow  up so  fast…"I joined his sigh." soon enough she went to high school stopped thinking boys are grouse and started to bring them home to meet us,"

"And you almost shot one of them…"I added at the same dreaming tone he was talking in.

"You cant really blame me for that, she was only 16 and he was 19 year old boy who smoked and had piercings all over his face!" he said defensively and I chuckled.

"It really doesn't matter now, she has a good husband and 3 wonderful children, she looks great, have a nice job and she is happy, I cant see what more we could want for her." I said and Blaine agreed." or for ourselves, for that matter." I added.

"Yeah, we did alright." Blaine said. "we are at the end-"he chuckled to himself from what he was about to say next." safe and sound…?"He asked and I rolled my eyes playfully, smiling at my goofball husband. however, he was right, I practically had everything I always wished for, a beautiful house I decorated myself, a few very successful collections, I have tons of money(didn't really care about it though,)I live with my one true and only love and I am not that sad, pissed off I was before those Glee games. Only then I realized, a tiny part of me, a part that was hidden very well and very deep, wasn't regretting any of that happn.so yes, in the end we really were-

"Safe and sound."

The end
