Yes, Sugar is Arties soul mate. I wanted to add Kitty but I didnt feel right mixing first generation with second generation. Sugar got to be with the originals so thats why I selected her.
Please review :)
The weekend flew by quickly and thats how Kurt Hummel found himself sitting in the next Glee meeting Monday afternoon. They were beginning the love songs week and Kurt reluctantly wasnt able to persuade Mister Schue into pulling him out of the lesson. It was either do it or take a zero, and failing Glee Club was not worth it.
So now Kurt was sitting there listening to his friends sing love songs to his dismay. Mike finished the song he was singing - to his soul mate, Tina and took his seat as Rachel stood up. Rachel approached the center and stared at the watching eyes on her.
"Since Mister Schuester did not enjoy my little preview I plan to try again with a little piece I like to call Love Story by: Taylor Swift." She stated to the group.
Rachel signaled for the band to begin playing:
RACHEL:
We were both young when I first saw you.
I close my eyes and the flashback starts:
Im standing there on a balcony in summer air.
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns.
See you make your way through the crowd
And say, "Hello, "
Little did I know...
That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles,
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you, "Please dont go"
And I said...
"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
Ill be waiting; all thats left to do is run.
Youll be the prince and Ill be the princess,
Its a love story, baby, just say, Yes."
So I sneak out to the garden to see you.
We keep quiet cause were dead if they knew
So close your eyes... escape this town for a little while.
Oh, oh.
Cause you were Romeo - I was a scarlet letter,
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet."
But you were everything to me,
I was begging you, "Please dont go."
And I said...
"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
Ill be waiting; all thats left to do is run.
Youll be the prince and Ill be the princess.
Its a love story, baby, just say, Yes.
"Romeo, save me, they try to tell me how to feel.
This love is difficult but its real.
Dont be afraid, well make it out of this mess.
Its a love story, baby, just say, Yes."
Oh, oh.
I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around.
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town.
And I said...
"Romeo, save me, Ive been feeling so alone.
I keep waiting for you but you never come.
Is this in my head? I dont know what to think."
He knelts to the ground and pulled out a ring and said...
"Marry me, Juliet, youll never have to be alone.
I love you, and thats all I really know.
I talked to your dad - go pick out a white dress
Its a love story, baby, just say, Yes."
Kurt let out a little chuckle. He couldnt be upset for himself when the stanza Rachel just sang was in relation to what just happened between her and Finn. They havent told anyone yet except him. But Kurt doesnt think Finn thinks he knows yet. They havent discussed it since Rachel told him.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Cause we were both young when I first saw you...
Rachel finished the song, tears running down her face like always and the group clapped for her. She curtsied for the rest of the New Directions as Will spoke up:
"I like the song but dont you think Love Storys a bit cliché?" He asked his student.
"Well - I think its an excellent choice. Just like me. Im the excellent choice for the soloist." Rachel protested. Kurt thought he heard Mercedes scoff behind him but he wasnt jumping to conclusions.
"Thank you, Rachel. Ill keep the song in mind. Ill keep yours in mind too, Mike." Will said just as the bell rang to dismiss the kids. Rachel pouted and stomped out of the room. Finn went after her.
Kurt rolled his eyes at the display as he slung his bag over his shoulder. He hoped that Blaine wasnt a drama queen like Rachel. Oh, how he loved her but she always made things about her. And he couldnt be stuck with that for the rest of his life - when he found Blaine that is.
Blaine and his friends were sitting in his room laughing, talking, and eating pizza. It was a nice way to finish his Monday.
It didnt last too long though, because his happiness was overthrown into depression as he watched Wes and David act like a couple. Feeding each other pizza.
Now of course he was happy for his best friends. He put on a smile as he watched David feed Wes a slice of pizza because he was glad to see them happy with each other but deep down inside he wished Kurt was there to feed pizza to. He simply wished Kurt was there. Oh, how much Blaine wished.
And the pang continued as Nick and Jeff reciprocated Wes and Davids action. Nick feeding Jeff. Trent had Tiffany over and they were cuddling. Thad was playing some hand game with Maria. Blaine couldnt take it. He sat down his plate and stood up from where he sat on his bed. Blaine stood in front of his friends, "Enough, guys." He said displeasingly. The group looked up at him now quiet.
"What do you mean, Blaine Warbler?" Wes asked as he snuggled up in Davids arms.
"I mean, stop acting so couple-y." Blaine answered.
Everyone furrowed their eyebrows in puzzlement, "Why? Cant we act the way we want?" Jeff asked, "This group is not all about you, you know."
"Im sorry. I just feel a little uncomfortable with all of you guys acting all couple-like knowing full well that it makes me depressed to be all alone. Yes, Im jealous. And yes, I sound conceited but Im upset that all of you have someone and I havent met mine yet."
"Were sorry if you feel down about it but I cant control myself. As a man in a relationship I act on impulse with Wes." David said. Blaine scoffed at his words.
"We can give our soul mate whatever we can. And if it brings you down then youre going to have to fight it. Lots of people have yet to meet their soul mate. Its not all you." Nick said.
"I can do all that too. If I had my soul mate." Blaine said.
"But you havent met them yet." Trent said.
"I havent met them yet." Blaine agreed.
BLAINE:
Im not surprised, not everything lasts
Ive broken my heart so many times I stopped keeping track
Talk myself in, I talk myself out
I get all worked up then I let myself down
I tried so very hard not to lose it
I came up with a million excuses
I thought, I thought of every possibility
And I know some day that itll all turn out
Youll make me work so we can work to work it out
And I promise you kid that Ill give so much more than I get
I just havent met you yet
Hmm...hmm..
I might have to wait, Ill never give up
I guess its half timing and the other halfs luck
Wherever you are, whenever its right
Youll come out of nowhere and into my life
And I know that we can be so amazing
And baby your love is gonna change me
And now I can see every possibility
Somehow I know that itll all turn out
Youll make me work so we can work to work it out
And promise you kid Ill give so much more than I get
I just havent met you yet
They say alls fair in love and war
But I wont need to fight it
Well get it right and well be united
And I know that we can be so amazing
And being in your life is gonna change me
And now I can see every single possibility
And someday I know itll all turn out
And Ill work to work it out
Promise you kid Ill give more than I get, than I get, than I get, than I get
Oh you know itll all turn out
And youll make me work so we can work to work it out
And promise you kid to give so much more than I get yeah
I just havent met you yet
I just havent met you yet
Oh promise you kid to give so much more than I get
I said love, love, love, love, love, love, love
I just havent met you yet
Yeah, I just havent met you yet
Blaine finished the song and looked amongst his friends who watched him the entire time in utter silence.
"Okay...?" Wes trailed off in befuddlement.
Blaine sighed and went back to his spot. He put his face in his hands, "Im sorry guys. Im really sorry." He apologized.
"Is Blainey a bit bipolar?" Trent asked mockingly. All but Tiffany and of course Blaine started laughing.
Tiffany scooted closer to Blaine and wrapped her arms around him, "You should be ashamed!" She said with a dissatisfied shake of her head. Tiffany sat flat on the bed and kept one arm wrapped tightly around Blaines neck. The group stifled their laughs and started paying attention to Trents girlfriend, "I even expected more from you, Trent. Youve never seemed like the childish one to pull a joke like that." Tiffany scorned, "Bipolar disorder is not something to joke about. But well talk about that later, Trenty-poo." She took both of Blaines hands into hers, "Blaine is obviously hurting. I understand that hes not the only one walking on this Earth without his soul mate but you dont have to be insensitive about it. How would you like it if you were the only one here without their soul mate?" At this time the guys and Maria looked around each other, "It would suck. Wouldnt it? I cant sit here with you guys anymore. Trent, take me home. Im mad at you and would leave you too but youre my ride."
Tiffany pushed herself off the bed and waited for Trent to do the same. The pair left together.
Maria stood up, "I dont think I want to be here either. It was fun but now I want to get home." She said softly. Thad got the hint and stood up too. Maria drug him out of the room.
Wes pursed his lips, "Whelp, guess the funs over." He shrugged in consternation. The last four also agreed to leave. Wes let Blaine keep the pizza pie.
The four walked out of the room. David was the last to leave, he turned back to say, "Well see you tomorrow. Hopefully things will be better then." To Blaine before leaving Blaine alone in his room to lull himself to sleep with his thoughts over the scene that just happened and his lack of love.
Kurt couldnt believe how fast Tuesday came. In fact, the time has been flying past him way too quickly since Friday. Maybe it had something to do with Blaines presence at the garage on Friday? Kurt agreed to himself that his dad already came in contact with his soul mate and he just missed Blaine. Kurt hasnt told anyone about his soul mate being close that Friday. Not even his dad. He didnt want to be spoiled before meeting Blaine. Why, that would ruin some of the magic.
Now he was sitting in Math listening to his teacher lecture about P.E.M.D.A.S. because for whatever reason some kids cant remember the basic order of operations when theyve been learning about it since the fourth grade. Does Kurt have to note them that they are seniors?
Kurt decided to zone out and instead watch as Mercedes mentally come up with some sort of plan in her head. It was kind of funny watching her lost in her thoughts - long gone from Earth.
"What are you thinking about?" Kurt whispered to his friend.
"How to beat Rachel." She answered still lost in her mind and sounding unfocused from her friend.
"Do you need any help?" Kurt asked.
Mercedes shook her head in a slow daze, "No. I think I know what song Im gonna do." She smiled brighly and snapped out of her thoughts, "Im going to perform it today in Glee."
"Great!" Kurt plastered a fake smile back to her. Yes, okay, he was happy that Mercedes is trying to get that solo that she does deserve. Mercedes had an amazing voice that is never broadcasted enough. But how could he be truly happy when he knew whatever song Mercedes was going to sing it was going to be sung to Sam? Kurt still had know idea what he was going to sing this week. He couldnt sing anything about finding his love or being in love with somebody. He hasnt found Blaine yet. It didnt seem right. Not yet.
Blaine felt guilty after last night. He shouldnt have outburst like that to his friends but he held his feelings in far too long. He needed to get them out. Blaine just hoped nobody was mad at him.
Blaine heard chatter as he approached the common room for the days Warbler meeting. That was not unusual but he found one word that was very prominently mentioned by a fellow Warbler uncommon.
"Childish"
What were they talking about? What was "childish?" A group of some of the most elite boys in the school would never be "childish." Unless they were talking about Blaines outburst last night. But that wasnt "childish." Was it?
Blaine stood outside the common room and eavesdropped behind the door to hear their conversation.
"It was - it was not the most appropriate for Warbler Blaine to do that. But he meant well." Blaine heard Wes say, "I just hope he could forgive us for putting him in an uncomfortable place?"
Well, of course Blaine forgave them. It was an act on compulse and it wasnt exactly their fault. They were allowed to show love. He just wished he could have that.
"We are all sorry for putting him in that place." He heard Wes continue to say, "We also forgive him for being a little inappropriate with his feelings. He could have handled it better whether than blow his top when it became too much. We wouldve understood."
Blaine chose that moment to walk in. The room grew quiet. All eyes fell on him, "Good day." Blaine greeted with a smile. He pretended that he didnt hear anything the others were talking about.
"Youre late." Wes said bluntly, "A Warbler is never late. Especially you. You do know your penalties?"
Blaine nodded his understanding.
"Would you please recite it for us?" Wes asked.
"Every Warbler must be prompt to every meeting. If one neglects to do so he is penalized to stay after an extra half-hour to rehearse over any in-progress performances. No breaks." Blaine stated, remembering the one rule in the list given to them each year.
"Yes..." Wes smiled cynically, "Harsh. But you must."
Blaine pursed his lips to Wes words. He chose not to say anything more but to change back to their previous subject, "I just want to say that I really am sorry for what happened last night. Ive kept it all bottled in me for so long and just exploded like that. I shouldve said something earlier." Blaine said earnestly. He bowed his head as his cheeks flushed a deep red for being ashamed of himself.
"We accept your apology." Thad said.
"We owe you an apology as well." Said David, "As a man without their soul mate at the moment it was inappropriate for us to act like that around you."
"I would also like to apologize for offensively calling you a bipolar." Trent spoke up from where he was at in the room.
"Thank you, guys." Blaine said just above a whisper. He was glad no damage was done between him and his friends.
"Who has a song for this weeks lesson?" Mister Schue asked to open up practice.
Mercedes raised her hand, "I have one." Will nodded for her to continue. Mercedes stood and approached the center, "This is for my Sam and also to prove that Rachels not the only one with talent in this group. Because I think we forget that sometimes."
Rachels mouth fell open at Mercedes words. She was hurt by them.
MERCEDES:
I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the childrens laughter remind us how we used to be
Kurt smiled slightly at Mercedes choice of song. It was a good Whitney Houston one, "Greatest Love of All." He had to admit too that Mercedes voice was perfect for the number. Although, why would it be dedicated to Sam when its a song about loving yourself? Wasnt it?
Everybodys searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone who fulfilled my needs
A lonely place to be
And so I learned to depend on me
I decided long ago, never to walk in anyones shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least Ill live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They cant take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all
I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the childrens laughter remind us how we used to be
And if, by chance, that special place
That youve been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love
Mercedes finished the song getting a standing ovation. She giggled as she walked back to her seat, mouthing, "Take that Rachel Berry." to Rachel as she went. Rachels mouth fell open again.
Finn patted her thigh before standing up, "I have a song idea!" He announced to Mister Schue before walking up to the center of the choir room.
The band began playing the familiar tune of Chicagos "Youre the Inspiration." Kurt had to admit, if anybody was meant to sing that song it would be Finn
FINN:
You know our love was meant to be
The kind of love that lasts forever
And I want you here with me
From tonight, until the end of time
You should know, everywhere I go
Your always on my mind, in my heart, in my soul
Baby, youre the meaning in my life
Youre the inspiration
You bring feeling to my life
Youre the inspiration
Wanna have you near me
I wanna have you hear me sayin
"No one needs you more than I need you"
And I know, yes, I know that its plain to see
Were so in love when were together
Now I know that I need you here with me
From tonight, until the end of time
You should know, everywhere I go
Your always on my mind, in my heart, in my soul
Youre the meaning in my life
Youre the inspiration
You bring feeling to my life
Youre the inspiration
Wanna have you near me
I wanna have you hear me sayin
"No one needs you more than I need you"
Oh, ooh
Wanna have you near me
I wanna have you hear me sayin
"No one needs you more than I need you"
Youre the meaning in my life
Youre the inspiration
You bring feeling to my life
Youre the inspiration
When you love somebody
Till the end of time
When you love somebody
Always on my mind
No one needs you more than I
When you love somebody
Till the end of time
When you love somebody
Always on my mind
Once the song was over everyone cheered for him as usual. Finn took his seat and Will took his place back at the center of the room.
"All right, lets give it up for the beautiful and talented, Mercedes Jones!" Mister Schuster announced, directing a hand in Mercedes direction. Mercedes bowed her head as a huge smile spread across her face and her cheeks turned a rose red bashfully as the room uproared for her. Once the sounds had died Will spoke up again, "And Finn Hudson!" He continued as he motioned the hand towards Finn causing the sudden silence to drown again by the sounds of cheering and clapping, "Both youre songs were well prepared and will be kept in thought for Regionals."
And so Wednesday rolled around. Things went back to normal. Or so Blaine thought. Things seemed to be going normal for Blaine. The meetings went on as normal. Nobody said anything about Monday night. It almost seemed like it was wiped from everyones minds.
Today Blaine went out with the same crowd as Monday to the mall. Yes, he probably was just a nineth wheel but it was better to be wanted than forgotten.
Of course Blaine noticed how they were acting. They all seemed farther apart from each other. Especially Trent and Tiffany. If Trent did even one of the slightest relationship gesture Tiffany would slap his hand and give him a scolding look.
Wes and Davids hands on occasion would brush against each others. The couple would look at each other and blush then peek over to Blaine questionably.
Nick and Jeff and Thad and Maria would stick to little couple-like things like holding hands and Thad held on to Marias purse several times throughout the day.
But Blaine thought nothing of their strange behaviors. At least until Tiffany broke.
Trent tried to reach for Tiffanys hand only to get an unwanted response in return, "Jesus Christ, Trent!" She yelled, getting some attention from passers who had to stop and listen, "I told you not to in front of Blaine! I know we are in a big crowd full of soul mateless people but I dont want Blaine to feel hurt again!"
The hand holding didnt hurt Blaine. The knowledge that shes refusing to be romantic with Trent did. Blaine didnt want the couples to overwhelm him in his mind instead he promised to say something when it starts bugging him.
"You guys can interact in front of me!" Blaine exclaimed as he interjected.
Tiffany turned away from Trent and instead locked eyes with Blaine. She blinked a few times as she realized that she exploded publicly and what Blaine admitted was true.
"Wh-Wha-?" She questioned as her eyes scanned the audience around her.
"I had a problem Monday night. I just let it all built up inside me. This time Im going to let it go. If something happens that does bother me I will speak up but right now Im at ease."
Wes and David glanced at each other as they slowly reached for their hands, meeting in the middle.
Most of the watchers went off to continue what they were doing beforehand. All except for one. It was a short, young woman in her early twenties.
"You think youre superior, dont you?" She asked Tiffany.
Tiffany squeezed her eyes shut, "Im confused right now!" She admitted.
"Just because you found your soul mate doesnt mean you have to look down at those who didnt. How do you think that makes us feel?"
Blaine chuckled, "Uh, excuse me lady..." He got her attention, "This is none of your concern."
The woman placed her hands on her hips, "And why, exactly?" She asked, "As a woman equally missing her other half I should be concerned. Its assholes like these" She signaled over to Tiffany, "that dont deserve the beauty of a soul mate."
"You have no idea whats going on over here, do you?" Blaine asked; his voice was full of snark.
"I most certainly do! Shes saying that soul mates are insecure if they dont have their other half."
"She was referring to something that happened the other day!" Blaine countered.
The woman huffed and turned on her heels to leave, flashing scornful looks back at Tiffany.
"Its bitches like those that dont deserve soul mates." Tiffany mumbled to herself, "I hope she never finds hers and dies alone. Or her soul mate dies." She said a bit louder.
Blaine heard her and gulped. That made him think of the worst possible outcomes between him and Kurt. He looked down at his finger to assure Kurts name was still there. He sighed in relief as he read Kurts name going up his ring finger on the palm side.
Why was this week going so bad for him?
Kurt huffed as he plopped down on his bed. Why did the week have to be so cruel to him? He had to sit in Glee day after day listening to love ballads. He had yet to feel the love they were all feeling and a song to sing. Today was the same as the past two.
- Earlier -
"Thank you, Brittany. I love that song." Mister Schue said as he clapped for his student.
"Then can I have my award now?" Brittany asked. A few glances were shot at her, "Since we all know Im going to win."
"Youll be kept in mind." Will replied, "Okay! Anyone else?"
Sam stood up and raised his hand, "I have one." He announced.
Will nodded his consent to let Sam sing. Sam came to the center.
One by one they came. After Sam finished Quinn took the spotlight then she switched out with Noah.
Quinn and Noah were soul mates who did everything at the same time so of course Noah had to go right after Quinn.
- End -
Kurt was really beginning to feel down. The week might be shooting past him like the speed of sound but there was so much feelings of love around him. He could feel everyones electricity. The thing he wanted to feel intimately.
Somebody knocked on his door. Kurt groaned as he slid off his bed to answer the door. It was Finn who had disrupted him. He looked disturbed.
"Can I help you?" Kurt asked, annoyed.
Finn seemed hesitant to answer, "I - uh - can I talk to you about something?"
Kurt already knew where this was going but he was nice enough to let his brother explain.
"What would you like to talk about?" Kurt asked in fake dumbfound and confusion. He let Finn enter his room; which he did, unsure; shutting the door behind him carefully before looking back at Kurt.
Finn hesitated to begin speaking, "I-" He finally began but stopped. He looked down at his feet. He felt scared at what Kurt would say or do. He didnt want Kurt to hate him for it.
"Finn?" Kurt questioned when Finn remained silent for a while, "Its okay. You can tell me."
"Do you promise you wont freak out. You can be... short-tempered at times."
"I assure you Ill remain level-headed." Kurt promised.
Finn sighed. He squeezed his eyes shut, still not daring to look up, "Rachel and I got engaged!" Finn rushed as he bit his lower lip, impatiently waiting for Kurts response.
"Okay..." Kurt trailed off.
Finn opened one eye and rose his head halfway, "Why arent you shouting at me?" Finn asked timidly as he opened the other one and positioned his head straight back up in its rightful attention. He was usually never scared but at times he does fear Kurts temper. He definitely had a short one.
Kurt chuckled his words, "Why would I be mad?" He shrugged.
"You already knew?" Finn guessed with know in his voice.
"Rachel told me." Kurt said bluntly.
Finn exhaled, "Of course she did. She cant keep her mouth shut."
"You know her quite well. I guess you too are soul mates!" Kurt said in snark.
"Just promise you wont tell anyone? Not even mom or Burt!" Finn pleaded. Kurt proceeded to mime a zipper closing his lips, locking it, and throwing the key away.
Thursday came for Blaine. It was the same routine as always. Wake up, attend classes, Warbler practice, go out for some coffee with Trent and Jeff. Today after school, however they decided to go out to Lima for their coffee instead of their local one. They heard it had a decent coffee and what better way to live than to try something new? The trio went to the Lima Bean
As they sat at the coffee-house Blaine noted two things. One: His scar was glowing; Two: The environment felt heavily electrified. It was almost as strong as the garage last Friday.
Blaine zoned out of Trent and Jeffs conversation enjoy what he was getting out of this moment.
Blaine traced Kurts glowing name on his ring finger as he looked around the building, hoping to find another glow. Nothing. They were close to each other. Very close. Just not in the same place.
This caused Blaine to think. Hes seen the glow twice in the same town but in two different places. There was electricity in both environments. One was stronger than the other. It mustve meant that Kurt lived in Lima. He must be connected to both the Lima Bean and Hummel Tires and Lube. Mostly the garage over the coffee shop. The garage and coffee shop must be around a mile from where Kurt was at both times so Kurt was somewhere in between the two places right now. Or from what Blaine understands.
Trent was the first to notice Blaine being unfocused from reality and the tracing.
Trent nudged Jeff who quickly understood what Trent wanted him for.
The pair smirked at Blaine who noticed, "What?" He asked still sounding a bit tranced.
"Theyre near? Arent they?" Trent asked.
Blaine smiled softly and slightly nodded his head, "Yeah. His presence is close."
"Do you think youre going to meet him today?" Jeff asked.
Blaine shrugged, "It happened last week too."
The two boys eyes widened in astonishment, "Are you serious!?" Trent asked.
Blaine nodded again, "He has to live in Lima. I know he lives in Lima."
Trent and Jeff exchanged a glance with each other and smiled as they agreed telepathically that they were excited. The pair was sure that Blaine would be meeting his soul mate soon.
Once again Kurt felt sure he was late for something as he stood in line at the coffee shop with Rachel. And once again he kept it to himself; too afraid to tell anyone.
This was the second time in two weeks. The first time was at his dads garage last Friday. Kurt was sure his soul mate was just at the garage before Kurt came there and he was sure Blaine was just at the Lima Bean also. He knew that because he was feeling the sensation and his scar glowed earlier again.
Apparently he was dazed in his own thoughts about it because he felt Rachel nudge him to move up in line. He didnt notice it move.
Once they had their coffees and were seated at an empty table Rachel found it the right time to speak, "So, Finn told you?" She asked softly.
"Yes."
"How did it go?"
"He was hesitant but once he got it out it went well." Kurt told her, "Why?"
"He kind of flipped at me today for telling you." She said.
Kurt reached out and laid a reassuring on top of hers, "Oh, honey..."
"But that doesnt matter now!" She exclaimed as she turned back to her perky self, "Be completely honest with me. I was better than Tina and Santana? Right?"
Kurt was confused. How did she change so fast, "Yes, you were better than those two." Kurt assured. Tina and Santana performed their love songs today, "But why did you change subjects so fast?" He asked.
"Great!" Rachel announced happily at Kurt assurance, "I had a lot on my mind. I needed that one little thing about the engagement and to know for sure that Ive got the competition in the bag."
Kurt shook his head in disbelief. What a strange girl she was. And as for her having "the competition in the bag" he believed Mercedes won it. He just didnt want to break the news to Rachel. It would turn into a war between his two best friends.
Blaine was happy as he sat in the Warblers meeting that afternoon for two reasons. One: It was Friday. Blaine loved Fridays because he got to go home, get out of his blazer, and express himself. Plus he had two days of no school. The other reason was because he knew where his soul mate was at.
Now, he could search the entire town of Lima for Kurt but the chances of meeting him was slim. Although he wondered when he was going to meet Kurt Blaine knew it wasnt going to be now.
But he was happy his soul mate was near. It was assuring enough when he was having a frightful day that his soul mate was mere hours away from him.
So Blaine sat at the meeting lost in his thoughts. He had a weekend to plan and Kurt to dream about. He couldnt bear his mind to focus on Wes today. There was so much more to care about.
It was the last day for the love songs week. The week hasnt been the best for Kurt but after searching for a long time last night he finally found the perfect song.
Mister Schue asked who would like to go first. Artie wheeled his way up front and center. Kurt was cool with going last. He just hoped he was ready.
ARTIE:
I can hear her heart beat for a thousand miles
And the heavens open every time she smiles
And when I come to her, thats where I belong
Im running to her like a rivers song
She gives me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She gives me love, love, love, love, crazy love
Artie began to sing. He didnt have a soul mate in the New Directions. His soul mate was Sugar Mota. She went to their school but didnt make the cut for the show choir but Artie still brought her in today to sing to her this song.
Shes got a fine sense of humor when Im feeling low down
And when I come to her when the sun goes down
Takes away my trouble, takes away my grief
Takes away my heartache in the night like a thief
Give me love, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme crazy love
Give me love, love, love, yes sir, crazy love
Yes, I need her in the daytime
Yes, I need her in the night
But I want to throw my arms around her
Kiss her an hug her, kiss her an hug her tight
Kiss her an hug her tight, through the night
And when Im returning from so far away
She gives me some sweet lovin brighten up my day
I can hear her heart beat for a thousand miles
And the heavens open every time she smiles
And when I come to her, thats where I belong
Im running to her like a rivers song
She gives me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She gives me love, love, love, love, crazy love
Shes got a fine sense of humor when Im feeling low down
And when I come to her when the sun goes down
Takes away my trouble, takes away my grief
Takes away my heartache in the night like a thief
Give me love, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme crazy love
Give me love, love, love, yes sir, crazy love
Yes, I need her in the daytime
Yes, I need her in the night
But I want to throw my arms around her
Kiss her an hug her, kiss her an hug her tight
Kiss her an hug her tight, through the night
And when Im returning from so far away
She gives me some sweet lovin brighten up my day
Itll make me feel righteous, make me feel whole
Make me feel mellow down into my soul
Give me love, gimme love, yes sir, crazy love
Give me love, gimme, gimme, gimme, crazy love
I said she gives me love, love, love, aww, crazy love
She gives me, yeah, crazy love
I said give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She gives me love, love, yes sir, a crazy love, one more time
She gives me love, love, love, love, she gives me crazy love
She gives me love, love, love, yes sir crazy love
Itll make me feel righteous, make me feel whole
Make me feel mellow down into my soul
Give me love, gimme love, yes sir, crazy love
Give me love, gimme, gimme, gimme, crazy love
I said she gives me love, love, love, aww, crazy love
She gives me, yeah, crazy love
I said give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She gives me love, love, yes sir, a crazy love, one more time
She gives me love, love, love, love, she gives me crazy love
She gives me love, love, love, yes sir crazy love
Once Artie was finished everyone applauded. Especially Sugar. She sprang up from her seat and clapped frantically for him as she jumped up and down.
Artie rolled back to his spot.
That was Kurts cue. He nervously stood up and approached the front. He looked amongst the crowd glued to him. Kurt swallowed a lump down his throat as the band began to play the opening of his song. Kurt knew right then that he was going to break down in tears.
KURT:
Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you,
That is how I know you go on
Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And youre here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
This is where Kurt began to feel the tears trickle down his face.
Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go till were gone
Love was when I loved you
One true time I hold to
In my life well always go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And youre here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
Youre here, theres nothing I fear,
And I know that my heart will go on
Well stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
Kurt has never heard such silence in the room. They didnt hate the song. Kurt noticed all of his friends faces were broken, stained with tears, and red from crying. He touched all their hearts. It was too powerful to applaud him.
