Chapter Six [Part One]: As Good As It Gets

The stage was completely set-up, the band in place. It was supposed to be reassuring, but it wasn't.

Behind the doors leading into the auditorium, I was pacing endlessly.

"We got this." Blaine said soothingly, his warm, smooth hand slipping into mine, keeping me still. I was so nervous I didn't bother pushing ( Read more... )

Chapter Five: I'll Just Hide It

On my eighteenth birthday, I cut all my classes and sat alone in the McKinley Football Field.

I was dressed comfortably in my own clothes - I'd recently snuck back into my own house and packed a bag full of them - and I had, as was becoming usual these days, no appetite.

I spent most of the day reminiscing to myself all ( Read more... )

Chapter Four [Part Two]: Come Back Into You

When I walked into the New Directions, it was like walking around in my birthday suit: everyone just fell silent and stared. They were all around Brittany, who was crying soundlessly in the back of the room.

Then Kurt stood up, walked right up to me, and slapped me across the face.

It stung, but I could take ( Read more... )

Chapter Four [Part One]: You're Still The Best

I wanted to run away. Jump off a bridge. Get hit by a car. Get stabbed by a miscreant. Get torched by a psycho.

I wanted to hurt. I wanted to transform all the stupid abstract pain in my fucking heart into something tangible, like a bleeding, gaping wound. Preferably a fatal one.

"FUCK." I yelled, ( Read more... )

Chapter Three [Part Two]: I Don't Want To Go

"I really need to graduate."

She fell asleep right after she it. I stayed up the whole night trying to figure it out.

I really need to graduate. It echoed in my mind endlessly, like a really bad song with a particularly catchy tune. I really need to graduate. I knew that I could understand what she meant a ( Read more... )

Chapter Three [Part One]: This place is a hole.

The squad car began to slow as it approached the reached the Pierce household. What looked like all the lights in the entire house were turned on, and as soon as the car came to a gentle halt the front door flew open and Brittany's mother ran out towards us. She said nothing when she threw her arms ( Read more... )

Chapter Two [Part Two]: …but it might be alright if you go.

It was very rare for me to feel brave.

And I don't mean the kind of "bravery" that involved doing extremely stupid things like jumping from roof to roof as a proof of badassery (grade school. Puck dared me to), or sneaking liquor into school and spiking the drinking water system (high school ( Read more... )

Chapter Two [Part One]: It hurts me to say that I want you to stay…

A month into senior year, there were about a million different things I had to do. It was like holding a thousand pieces of a jigsaw puzzle and rushing to piece them all together.

One large chunk of the puzzle was Brittany's campaign for class president, which was at its peak. It was ( Read more... )
