Epilogue
Blaine’s fingers don’t quite work as well as they used to. Some arthritis had set in, which keeps him from playing the guitar a lot of the time.
But he needs to play tonight. He makes his way out onto the porch, leaving the festivities behind him. He needs the quiet and the chill of the night, for just a few minutes of reverence.
They had always celebrated this day, this day was Christmas and Valentine’s, anniversaries and birthdays, all rolled into one. Because it’s this day that made everything else possible.
As he begins to play the familiar song, every line, every nuance, every word makes him think of something else, some moment from his life and the life he shared with Kurt. Some people might think it was just a bubble gum pop song, but to Blaine this song is the beginning and the end of everything he holds dear.
It was 60 years ago that Blaine and Kurt had saved each other’s lives, 60 years of being each other’s teenage dreams. Sixty years to the day that he had first sang these lyrics to Kurt.
It was also the first year that Blaine was celebrating without Kurt.
As he strummed the last chord, he mouthed “thank you.”
“Pop pop,” said a tiny voice from the doorway, “Were you singing to Grandpa?”
End Notes: The end! Thanks for reading!

Thanks! I'm so glad you read it and liked it. I'm sure I'll be writing something else because I really just can't get Blaine out of my head!
Oh My Gosh!!! Every time I think I'm safe, I see a notification that "So Take A Chance" has been updated. All these chapters have made me laugh, and cry, feel happy and sad, sometime at the same time. Thank you so much for all your work in writing, editing, reviewing, and posting. I think this Epilogue sums it up best of all. November 9, 2010. I think a lot of people's lives changed that day too.
Thank you so much! I totally made myself sad writing that epilogue. But it seemed... necessary. Like I needed to put some closure on them.
I really enjoyed your story and the ending was perfect. Beautiful and sad.
RIP MY HEART OUT WHY DON'T YOU?No.... It's all good. It's just that I was listening to Somewhere Only We Know while reading this.
I like to keep my level of Blaine feels at like an 8/9 most of them time, so I hear ya. I pretty much live a life full of SOWK and Cough Syrup.
I'm both sorry and not sorry that I made you cry. You know how it is. :)
Of course you'd end it with that and make me cry lol.
this story went way too fast. the epilogue inda got to me. job well done.
Okay. No. Now I'm really crying. Oh gosh my mum's going to look at me and think I'm crazy but omg WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS THING YOU ARE DOING TO ME???I'm sorry. I don't think I know how to deal with loss very well... :P
OMG EMOTIONS!
This was a truly brilliant (if not a bit confusing at first) story! I happily survived any serious emotional loops Until that last chapter, which is now causing me to bawl like a baby
