"I-I have prostate cancer." Blaine repeats shaking a little. Everything seems to shatter in this moment. No. This cant be real. The same thing that took his father away from him. I run to him wrapping my arms tightly around his back. Blaine sobs in the crook of my neck. "Shh... Blaine i-its going to be okay." I stutter my bottom lip trembling. "What did they say?" I breathe out quietly stroking Blaine's hair comfortingly. "They caught it to late." Blaine sniffles. Blaine's legs give out from underneath him and he collapses on the floor in front of me. I kneel in front of him. "Blaine, baby look at me." Blaine tilts his head up slowly looking up at me tears streaming down his face. I bite my lip a tear falling down my cheek. I hate seeing Blaine like this. "Listen to me." I choke out holding his face in my hands. "We will make it." I whisper. "You hear me." I add resting my forehead on his. Blaine bites his lip nodding slowly closing his eyes. I lean in kissing Blaine passionately massaging my lips on Blaine's. "I love you." I hear Blaine whisper in a broken voice. "I love you too, sweetheart." I respond. I pull him up slowly holding him to my chest. Blaine and I lay on the couch holding each other tightly. "Have you ever realized how weird finger nails are?" Blaine giggles examining his thumb from behind my back. I let out a choked laugh holding him tighter. "Only you." I whisper a smile tugging on my face. "Will you sing to me?" Blaine mumbles into my neck. "Of course baby." "When the day is long and the night The night is yours alone When you're sure you've had enough Of this life, well hang on"
Blaine buries his face in my neck holding my tighter
"Don't let yourself go, 'cause everybody cries And everybody hurts sometimes"
"Sometimes everything is wrong Now it's time to sing along When your day is night alone If you feel like letting go When you think you've had too much Of this life, well hang on"
"Cause everybody hurts take comfort in your friends Everybody hurts"
"Don't throw your hand oh, no don't throw your hand If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone"
"If you're on your own in this life The days and nights are long When you think you've had too much Of this life to hang on"
"Well, everybody hurts sometimes, everybody cries And everybody hurts sometimes"
"And everybody hurts sometimes so, hold on, hold on Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on Everybody hurts No, no, no, no, you are not alone."
I hold Blaine tighter as I let out the last words. Blaine's breathe evens out. He snores lightly causing me to giggle. Suddenly the elevator door opens. "Hey-" I place my finger at my lips cutting him off. Wes nods sneaking into the bathroom and turning the water on. Blaine and I will be okay... Will we. I slowly get up making sure not to wake up Blaine. Didn't Blaine say he has a bucket list? I tip-toe into our room. I really shouldn't go through his stuff. I looking through his drawers but nothing. Wait. I slowly walk over to the closet opening it slowly. A small brown box sat on the top shelf and I carefully take it in my hands lowering it down. I sit Indian style on my mattress and open it slowly. I gasp. Dozens and dozens of pictures of Blaine and I litter the box. A smile tugs on my lips looking through the box of memorize. I find a small folded paper and I unfold it. "Bucketlist" it reads. 5: Swim with manatees 4: go to France 3: go to a Katy Perry concert. I giggle as I read that muffling my laugh with my hand. 2: have Kurt forgive. I smile sadly. He sure has done that. 1: marry the love of my life. A tear falls down my cheek and I smile lightly. I will do anything in my power. To make all these things possible.
