'Firework' by Katy Perry

I did it!

I played the piano!

It was amazing!

It's such a beautiful instrument. Kurt's mom must have taken really good care of it. It was a little bit out of tune, but I expected that since it hadn't been played in so long.

God... the FEELING of playing again was... outstanding.

The cool, crisp feeling of the keys under my fingers... I could feel the vibrations from every note echo through my whole body. It sent shivers up my spine.

I hadn't played the piano since that day in the auditorium with Kurt.

I forgot how free it makes me feel.

Like there is nothing in the world that can hurt me. Nothing.

I was pretty rusty, and my fingers started to cramp up a lot quicker than they used to... but I don't care... I did it.

I played the piano!

I think Carole was listening from the kitchen. When I went in there after I'd finished playing she had a really big smile on her face. And maybe even a couple tears.

She looked... proud... of me.

I can't wait to play again.
