After a good ten minutes crying Mr. Schuester gathered every ones attention and resumed practice.
“Tina and I would like to go now Mr. Schue.” Mercedes spoke up after he had gathered every ones attention.
“Sure thing girls, go right ahead.” He said calmly.
“So Kurt, this song is a little about what you’re going through and a little about how were here for you and we’ll do anything you want us to in order to help.” Tina explained as Mercedes informed the band of their song choice.
The music picked up and Tina began to sing.
“God, I feel like hell tonight. Tears of rage I cannot lie. I’d be the last to help you understand. Are you strong enough to be my man?” Tina started.
Mercedes picked up where she left off “Nothing’s true and nothing’s right. So let me be alone tonight. Cause you can’t change the way I am. Are you string enough to be my man?”
Both girls began to sing the next part together.
“Lie to me I promise I’ll believe. Lie to me but please don’t leave. Leave, don’t leave.”
Mercedes stepped back and Tina continued.
“I have a face I cannot show. I make the rules up as I go. So try to love me if you can. Are you strong enough to be my man?”
This time Mercedes stepped forward to join Tina as they continued on with the song.
“My man. Are you strong enough to be my man? Are you strong enough to be my man? Are you strong enough to be my man?”
Tina took a step back as Mercedes continued by herself.
“When I’ve shown you that I just don’t care when I’m throwing punches in the air. When I’m broken down and I can’t stand would you be man enough to be my man?”
There song came to an end and everyone clapped.
“So you see Kurt in this song no matter what your going through we will be strong enough to be there and support you.” Tina said softly.
“We’ll always be your man.” Mercedes joked.
“Awwh guys thank you! I love you!” Kurt said cheerfully as they pulled him into a hug.
“So I think that’s everyone. Should we do the group numbers now?” Finn asked.
“Not everyone.” Blaine said as he entered the choir room.
“Blaine what are you doing here?” Kurt asked happily.
“I came to sing to you.” Blaine said as if the answer was the most obvious thing ever.
The girls chorused an awwwh as Blaine sat down in front of the piano.
“So this is a little something I wrote for you.” Blaine began.
“You wrote me a song? You are so romantic! I love you!” Kurt said as he clapped his hands and all the girls awed again.
“Yeah sure did. And it goes a little somethin’ like this.” He said as he began to play the piano.
Blaine played the piano beautifully. The room fell silent as he began his original song.
“I’ve been alone. Surrounded by darkness. I’ve seen how heartless the world can be.”
“I’ve seen you crying. You felt like it’s hopeless. I’ll always do my best to make you see.”
Blaine had the most beautiful voice Kurt had ever heard, yeah he heard him sing all the time but knowing this song was written just for him made it even better.
“Baby, you’re not alone. Cause you’re here with me. And nothing’s gonna bring us down. Cause nothing can keep me from lovin’ you. And you know it’s true. It don’t matter what’ll come to be our love is all we need to make it through.”
“Now I know it isn’t easy. But it ain’t hard trying. Every time I see you smiling and I feel you so close to me and you tell me. Baby, you’re not alone. Cause you’re here with me. And nothing’s gonna bring us down. Cause nothing can keep me from lovin’ you. And you know it’s true. It don’t matter what’ll come to be our love is all we need to make it through.”
“I still have trouble. I trip and stumble. Trying to make sense of things sometimes. I look for reasons but I don’t need ‘em. All I need is to look in your eyes. And I realize Baby, I’m not alone. Cause you’re here with me. And nothing’s gonna take us down. Cause nothing can keep me from lovin’ you. And you know it’s true. It don’t matter what’ll come to be our love is all we need to make it through.”
“Cause you’re here with me. And nothing’s ever gonna bring us down. Cause nothing, nothing, nothing can keep me from lovin’ you and you know it’s true. It don’t mater what’ll come to be you know our love is all we need our love is all we need to make it through.”
With that Blaine played a few more notes on the piano and the song drew to a close.
Everyone jumped out of their seats to applaud.
“Blaine, baby, that was amazing! How’d did you write that? You’re amazing! I love you!” Kurt said running up and hugging Blaine practically throwing him in his arms.
Blaine spun him around. “I wrote it with you in mind. Kurt you’ll never be alone, I will always be here for you.” Blaine said as he pulled Kurt into a passionate kiss.
The staid like that for awhile as Kurt tilted his head and Blaine’s tongue found entrance to Kurt’s mouth.
The kissed passionately forgetting about the other people in the room. Blaine backed Kurt up into the piano and he arched his back so he was practically laying on top of it with Blaine kissing him.
A few cat calls and whistles echoed in the background.
“Okay guys, that’s more than enough.” Mr. Schue said awkwardly getting their attention.
The both mumbled sorrys and they went back to where Kurt was sitting.
“That was a great song Blaine.” Mr. Schuester said as everyone applauded again.
“Finn did you guys still wanna do the group numbers?” Mr. Schue asked.
“Yeah sure thing. Hey Blaine, wanna join us?” Finn replied.
“Sure thing Finn.” Blaine said kissing Kurt on the cheek and then hopping up to join them.
The first one was a total cliché. You could tell immediately that Finn picked it out. He probably thought he was clever too.
Puck and Sam took their guitars as Finn sat down at the drums. All of the guys even Blaine started to sing as the music began.
“I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend. “
Kurt couldn’t help but laugh at this.
Then the girls took over the next verse.
“You could cut ties with all the lies that you’ve been living in.”
Blaine took the next line, “And, if you do not want to see me again I would understand. I would understand.”
Puck took over now, “The angry boy, a bit too insane icing over a secret pain. You know you don’t belong.”
Rachel next, “You’re the first to fight, you’re way too loud. You’re the flash of light on a burial shroud.”
Everyone sang now, “I know something’s wrong.”
Now Mercedes, “Well everyone I know has got a reason to say. Put the past away!”
Everyone now, “I wish you would step back from that ledge, my friend.”
Then the girls took over the next verse.
“You could cut ties with all the lies that you’ve been living in.”
Blaine took the next line, “And, if you do not want to see me again I would understand. I would understand.”
The song continued on everyone alternating lines until everyone had sung. It came it an end with one last “I would understand.” And then everyone was patting him on the back and hugging him.
“Thank you all so much!” Kurt said overjoyed that people really cared.
“We’re here for you Kurt, don’t you forget it.” Finn said as he smiled.
People really did love him.
