The Singer And The Musician - Klaine [DISCONTINUED]

7

The morning after Heartbreak Day (yes, Blaine had given it a name. He'd spent enough time thinking about it anyway) Blaine had gotten over his short fever, with just a few coughs here and there. Although he felt fine, he did not want to go back to school.

Having not eaten dinner the other day to avoid the questions from all three of his siblings, he was starving. But he was also too tired - physically and mentally - in the morning to make himself any more food than he usually had. So he prepared himself for facing school, for facing Kurt, trying to ignore the fact that he most definitely was going to answer the questions sooner than later.

Somehow he made it to school without passing out from lack of food - and excessive worrying.

And somehow he made it through his morning classes without seeing Kurt. That may have been due to him choosing different seats and rushing out of the room before Kurt could even get a word in. Maybe not.

When he finished eating his lunch he found he still had some time of his break left. Walking through the school just to find something to do, he stopped by the entrance to the auditorium.

There was a piano in there. Blaine loved playing the piano. There was also a microphone. What could it hurt? No one would hear him anyway. He slowly made his way to the centre of the stage and stood behind the microphone, testing it quickly.

I'm wide awake
Yeah, I was in the dark
I was falling hard
With an open heart

How did I read the stars so wrong?

Blaine had been listening to this song on repeat ever since Heartbreak Day. Katy Perry was a musical genius, but that had nothing to do with his sudden obsession over this song. Ok, it might have had a tiny little bit to do with it.

And now it's clear to me
That everything you see
Ain't always what it seems
Yeah, I was dreaming for so long

But the real reason that Blaine felt such a powerful connection to this song at the moment was the lyrics. He'd always liked this song but he'd never really understood or been able to relate to it. But now he completely understood what this was about, or at least the way he interpreted it to be about.

I wish I knew then
What I know now
Wouldn't dive in
Wouldn't bow down
Gravity hurts
You made it so sweet
'Til I woke up on
On the concrete

It seemed to describe everything that had happened and everything he had been feeling so easily and painlessly, when in reality; it was so painful. To think about what he could have had with Kurt and how he threw the friendship they had away made Blaine's eyes water and his heart seize up in his chest.

Falling from cloud nine
Crashing from the high
I'm letting go tonight
Yeah, I'm falling from cloud nine

I'm wide awake
Not losing any sleep
I picked up every piece
And landed on my feet
I'm wide awake
Need nothing to complete myself, no

It felt nice to sing, even if listening to him sing was anything but nice. Blaine felt a surge of a sort of release, a strange sense of freedom, as if singing about his problems solved them.

I'm wide awake
Yeah, I am born again
Out of the lion's den
I don't have to pretend
And it's too late
The story's over now, the end
