My Glee Story 8

Chapter 18

The next week, Kurt was still annoyed with Blaine and I, and it made it worse that June had invited Blaine to sing with her at another event the week after.

Meanwhile, I was still performing every night, and getting more and more notice. That wasn't the exciting news though.

After singing at June's party, a man approached me as we were leaving. He was a producer from a Hollywood television company, and told me that he would love to have me in a new show that he was creating.

After finding out that he was in fact legit, I gave him my information, and he told me that he would call me when he had more news.

That just made Kurt even more pissed at me, and made his mood worse.

Sam wasn't in the best of moods either as he was still struggling to get modelling work. I silently prayed that he wouldn't give up and go back to Lima.

It was exactly a week after June's party, when I came home early from college to find Kurt singing in his room.

As I walked closer to the closed door, I recognized what he was singing.

Kurt: 'Midnight not a sound from the pavement, has the moon lost her memory? She is smiling alone. In the lamplight the withered leaves collect at my feet, and the wind begins to moan. Daylight I must wait for the sunrise, I must think of a new life and I mustn't give in. When the dawn comes tonight will be a memory too, and a new day will begin. Burnt-out ends of smoky days, the stale cold smell of morning. A streetlight dies another night is over, another day is dawning. Touch me it's so easy to leave me, all alone with the memory of my days in the sun. If you touch me you'll understand what happiness is, look a new day has begun. Has begun.'

After Kurt had finished singing, I gently knocked on the door.

'Hey', I said, walking into the room, 'That was amazing, are you rehearsing for an assignment, or something?'

'I didn't know anyone was at home', Kurt replied, gathering up sheet music that was scattered on his bed.

'I got home early from college, my last lecture was cancelled', I said, 'Seriously Kurt, you were giving that song your all, why were you singing it?'

'Because I'm singing it in a show', Kurt replied, continuing to tidy his music.

'A show? Really?', I asked, 'Why didn't you tell us that you were in a show?'

'Maybe because you were all too busy Lauren', Kurt replied, turning around to face me, 'I've hardly seen Blaine and Sam in the past week, and I hardly remembered what you looked like!'

'Look, I'm sorry that I've been busy Kurt, and I'm sure that Blaine and Sam are too', I said, 'But we can't just drop everything to hang out with you. So, what show are you in?'

'I'm playing Peter in the Broadway Stars Nursey Home's production of Peter Pan', Kurt explained, 'I was working in the diner the other day and one of the women living there, Maggie Banks, and I got talking. She asked if I would like to be in it since the guy that was supposed to play Peter had died a few days ago, and I agreed.'
