The next day I got a text from Blaine to meet him at the Lima Bean. When I got there, I saw him sitting at a table waiting for me. I went to the table and he slid my coffee to me.
"I couldnt go a day without seeing you." He said.
"Blaine, you are adorable."
He reached across the table and grabbed my hand, not caring if anyone saw us. Shouldnt I be over the shock of having his attention? Shouldnt I be used to having his hand in mine? Everyday with him felt like the day we met. I feel that same electricity every time he grabs my hand. I dont think Ill ever get used to this.
We drank our coffee and talked about school. An hour later, we both went home. I walked through the door. Nobody was in the living room and the house was silent.
"Dad? Carole?" I called.
Then I saw a note on the couch.
It read: Went to the grocery store to get food for dinner tonight. Well be home soon. Love, dad.
I sat on the couch and pulled out my phone. I saw that I had a message. It was from Mercedes.
Hey, were all going to the Lima Bean tomorrow after school. Even though youre not in the New Directions anymore, you can still come.
Okay, see you then. I replied.
I put my phone down and turned the TV on. I flipped through the channels to see if anything good was on. When I didnt see anything interesting, I turned off the TV and went to my room.
Dinner was ready. We went to the kitchen to get our food. We were having roasted chicken and stuffing. I got a plateful of food and a glass of water and sat down at the table.
"Did Mercedes invite you to come with us to the Lima Bean?" Finn asked.
"Yes. I told her Id be there." I said.
"Thats good." My dad said. "That youre staying in touch with your old friends."
"You should bring Blaine." Finn suggested.
"Ill ask him." I said.
The rest of the dinner was silent.
After dinner, I went to my room. I was so tired that I skipped the skincare tonight, got my pajamas on and went to bed. I was tired, but I couldnt fall asleep. Finally, I thought of something that might help.
I went to my closet and grabbed the shirt that Blaine gave me. I buried my face in it. It smelled like him. I went back to my bed. I wrapped my arms around the shirt.
The next morning, I got ready like usual. I left for school. When I got there, I saw that, once again, Blaine was waiting for me.
"Good morning." I greeted.
"Good morning." He replied.
"Today, Im going to meet some old friends from McKinley at the Lima Bean. Do you want to come with me?" I asked
"Yeah. Are you sure theyll be okay with me coming?"
"Of course." I said.
The bell rang and we went to class.
After Warbler practice, Blaine and I went to the Lima Bean. We ordered our coffee, then I turned and looked around the shop. Mercedes waved and we went to her. When I went to her I saw everyone was there.
"Hey guys." I greeted as we sat down. "Blaine, you already know Finn. This is Mercedes, Rachel, Puck, Brittany, Santana, Mike, Artie, Quinn, Sam, Tina, and..."
There was a girl I didnt recognize.
"Im Lauren." She spoke up.
"Everybody, this is my boyfriend, Blaine."
"Its nice to meet you all." Blaine said. Then he turned to Puck. "Is Puck your real name?"
"No. My name is Noah, but my last name is Puckerman, so I go by Puck. It sounds more badass." He explained.
"I dont mean to sound rude, but why did we invite lady Hummel?" Santana asked. "Isnt he supposed to be our competition for sectionals?"
"Yes, but even though Im at another school, you guys are still my friends and I will always be faithful to you." I said. "And Santana, saying I dont mean to sound rude doesnt make what you said any less rude."
"Sorry, its just, I dont want what happened last year at sectionals to happen again this year."
Blaine looked confused so I filled him in.
"Our set list got sent to our competition and we had to come up with a completely new set list at the last minute." I explained.
"Oh. I promise, we wont do that." He assured to them. "We actually have our own set list mostly figured out."
"Oh, really? What are your plans?" Mercedes asked. "And, I promise we wont steal your ideas."
"Well, were starting with a duet between Kurt and I, we dont know what song were singing, then well go into Tainted Love by Marilyn Manson, finishing with The Way You Make Me Feel by Michael Jackson."
"What about you guys?" I asked. "Or should I say what solo is Rachel Berry gonna be singing?"
Rachels eyes lit up.
"Well." She began.
"Here we go." Quinn groaned.
"Im going to sing My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion."
"And then well go into a group number." Finn added.
"Sounds great." Blaine said. "May the best team win at sectionals."
"Youre on." Santana said.
"So, Kurt, how have you been?" Mercedes asked.
I knew exactly what she meant.
"Its not getting any better." I said.
I felt Blaines hand on my back. I looked around at everyone. Something wasnt right. I remember them as being so talkative. But, right now, they were quiet. Rachel wasnt talking about herself, Sam wasnt doing any impressions, Santana wasnt making jokes about Sams mouth, nobody was acting how they usually acted. This is why I didnt want anyone to know about me having cancer. I was afraid they would act weird around me, just like they are right now.
"Well, I have to go." I said. I couldnt take anymore of the silence. I got up. "Ill see you guys later." With that I walked out of the Lima Bean.
"Kurt, wait up." I heard Blaine call as I was halfway to my car.
I turned around and let him catch up to me.
"Whats wrong?" He asked.
"Every time the cancer gets brought up in a conversation, everyone acts weird around me. As if theyre afraid I might break if they say the wrong thing." I said. "I just wish they would just act normal, Im still the same old Kurt I was before I got diagnosed."
Blaine looked like he was at a loss for words.
"You dont have to say anything." I said. "Ill see you tomorrow."I went to my car and drove home.
When I got home, I went up to my room and laid across my bed. Not long after, I heard a knock on the door.
"Come in." I called.
Carole came into my room.
"You okay, sweetie?" She said, sitting on the edge of my bed.
"Yeah, Im just tired." I lied.
She scooped me up in her arms. By now, she could tell when I was lying.She set me down on my bed and went to the door.
"Just come downstairs if you wanna talk." She said before leaving my room, closing the door behind her.
I looked at the alarm clock on my night stand. It was 6 oclock.
I went downstairs to get something to eat.
