Hell-o pt 2

The next morning I was a mess. I woke up in Andy's bed, where I slept. I cried myself to sleep last night and my eyes were still red and puffy. My eyes were crusted over as I rose from his bed. It smelt like him... I yawned and sat up. The room felt like him... I got out of bed and grabbed my phone off of his charger. The carpet still had footprints in it...

I went into my room and grabbed a pair of black jeans, and my comfort t shirt. It was my brothers. I grabbed one of his which were just a little too big for me. It was his Blink 182 shirt and I pulled my hair up into a messy bun. I couldn't put any makeup on today. In case I cried. I ran down the stairs with my bookbag and I went over to the kitchen and saw my dad was asleep. He fell asleep at the bar. His head was rested on his keyboard of the computer in front of him. The screen was lit up by job listings in the area. I furrowed my eyebrows and was suddenly hit with a wave of depression. I didn't want either of them going through this. I sighed and sucked in a painful breath and kissed his messy head before writing him a note, that I left on his laptop.

I drove myself. I love you Daddio, be safe. I love you

I then drove off to Mikes. I quickly glanced myself in the mirror and my eyes were bloodshot. He was gonna know something was up, since Andy wasn't here, and I look like I've been crying all night. I stopped in front of his house and waited only a few minutes before Mike came out in a black hoodie and some red jeans. 

He slung his bookbag over his shoulder and questionably looked at me and the empty seat in the front. He opened the passenger door and looked in the backseat.

"Wheres Andy?" he asked sliding in and buckling his seatbelt. I drove off not answering his question. I shook my head with sad eyes as we drove off to school. The only thing keeping me from falling apart was the music. I played NF, and parked the car.

"Autumn.... seriously. What happened?" Mike said getting out and meeting me at the back of the car. I didn't even look at him as my body came in contact with his as I embraced him in a hug."Autumn... you're scaring me", I could feel the rumble of his voice in his chest and I felt safer in his arms. I sighed and choked back a cry of help. I separated the  hug and looked up at him.

"He's in a coma. He was in a car accident, Mike" I told him. He fell silent and I could tell his heart had dropped to the floor.

"Is he okay though?" his voice was full of concern. I took his wrist and led him to his locker.

"His hand... Mike. He lost his ring and middle finger. He can't play football anymore" I broke off biting my overly-bit lip. I was so close to the edge of having an anxiety attack.

"Oh my god... I'm so sorry" he embraced me in a hug.

Next thing I knew I was in Glee. My safe place. Without telling anyone of what had happened last night. I asked Mr. Shu if I could sing a song for this weeks assignment.

Hello Darkness my old Friend
Ive come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left it's seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains within the sound of silence

I sang as I strummed to the acoustic guitar. I felt everyone's eyes on me, testing me to hit the high notes. Instead of the angelic sound that comes out of my throat, came a strong, and powerful voice that I didn't know existed.

Still exists in the sound of silen-

My voice cracked at the last note, I didn't even know it but a single tear fell across my cheek and to the floor. I shook my head and wiped under my eyes. Everyone was clapping their hands and I saw Kurt with a tissue up to his eyes. I gave a little sad smile."Okay. Who died?" it was Puck who got straightened up in his seat and broke the groin tension.
