Chapter Twenty-Three: A Crossroads

Not proofread, Blake's outfit in the second half of this chapter

Blake's POV

I walk into school as I keep my head down, it's been a few days since the argument with Quinn and we haven't talked at all and even in Glee we haven't been talking about music

I understand what she's talking about after really thinking about it for a while, I really feel a connection with Quinn and I really wish I could pursue it but I don't think I can......especially since I never really got over Rachel

I walk into the choir room and suddenly I feel a slap on the back of my head causing me to wince, I look over to see Santana with a disappointed mother look

"What was that for" I say rubbing the back of my head

"You hurt Quinn and while she's a bitch and I love you, get yourself together...she's gonna make Sue put me at the bottom of the pyramid" She says before kissing my cheek and dragging me to my seat that's next to her as Mr.Shue walks in

"Alright everyone, I'm just going to cut to the chase and say the assignment, you guys will perform a song that is out of the box for you guys...something that will show a more hidden side to you guys" Mr.Shue says

As he continues to talk I suddenly feel my phone vibrate, I take my phone out to see that a call from Jesse is coming in

"Umm Mr.Shue can I be excused" I say as I show my phone and he nods and continues to talk as I walk out

"What Jesse" I say naturally

"Look.....Blake I know that we are not on good terms but this is serious....it's about Dad, he's......he's dead" Jesses says and I can tell he's crying, I stand there frozen as I take in what he said

My emotionally neglectful father....the man that caused the divide in our family, he's gone now

"Mom and I will be on the way to McKinley soon" He says before hanging up, I remove my phone from my ear slowly as I lean against the locker in shock

"Blake....are you ok" Quinn says behind me, I slowly turn to her as I feel tears fall from my face, she instantly pulls me into her and I just go numb
——————-

"What happened" I say as I sit on the sofa in my old house, I look over to my mother who looks broken

She puts her head up and looks at me with utter heartbreak

"He and I got into an argument about our marriage.....we were planning to divorce and he confessed to cheating on me and I kicked him out.......he left and.......he got in a car crash, he died on impact" She says and I let out a breath

"What do we do now" I say looking towards Jesse and my mother, they look at me skeptically as they start to talk about funeral arrangements and his will, I chip in a few times but I don't speak for a while

I feel so numb as I stare at the table in front of me as my brother and my mom start talking about life insurance policies and funeral costs, i start to feel overwhelmed

I get up and leave with both Jesse and my mom calling after me, I drive back to Kurt's house and come in the door and go straight to my room and lay on my bed

I stuff my face in my pillow as I start to ball my eyes out and punch my pillow, this man made me feel like shit my whole life and her I am crying over him and for what..it's not like a I loved him

I feel strong arms pull me in and instead of fighting it I just let Burt hold me as I continue to break down until I fall asleep
