Lady Warbler: The Second Chapter

Chapter 26: If I Die Young

I woke up cold and alone, Blaine nowhere to be found. I sat up in bed, looking around for him when I heard the sound. I sounded like Blaine was choking back a sob, so being the curious person I am, I decided to look.

Blaine was sitting in the common area with a phone in one hand and his face in the other. His back was shuttering, and he was very upset. The last time I've seen Blaine like this was when his sister Lynn died.

"Blaine?" I asked, not getting a response from him. I walked up to him, sitting in the couch next to him. His body fell into mine, my shirt getting wet from his tears.

"He's gone." Blaine said, sobbing even more. I hate seeing him like this.

"Who's gone?" I asked, running my fingers through his hair. Blaine didn't stop crying, so I put his head in my hands, giving him a quick kiss. "It's okay."

"Finn is dead." He said.

"What?" I asked, my body going numb.

"Rachel called me this morning, and Kurt got a call from Burt."

"Oh my god where is he?" I asked, standing up. "Where the hell is kurt?"

"He wanted to be left alone." Blaine said, wiping his tears. "Are you okay? I know you and Finn are close."

"Finn wasn't my brother. Where the hell is Kurt?" I asked, looking at Blaine.

"He said he wants to be left alone." Blaine said.

"I said then when I lost my mom, but all I ever wanted was someone to hold me and let me cry. So I'm not going to ask again, so where the hell is kurt?"

"He's at the fountain." Blaine said. I nodded throwing on my slippers, running out the door. I stopped, walking backwards. "Pack us a bag. We're getting on the next flight to Lima."

"Okay. I love you." Blaine said. This was the first time he said this to me. He loves me. Oh my god! Kurt.

So I just nodded, and made a break for it. I had to find Kurt, and make sure he's okay.

I saw him sitting on the fountain, staring blankly, all emotions leaving him.

"Kurt?" I asked, causing him to look up.

"Cav?" He asked. I opened my arms, allowing him to embrace me. The second our bodies touched, we both broke out into a sob.

"Kurt I'm so sorry." I said through my tears.

I was sitting in the McKinley choir room sitting with Blaine, who was fighting to hold back his tears. I wasn't trying to stop it.

As an only child, I thought of Finn as my bother. Many times he'd call me little sister, and that meant a lot to me. Not only was he a friend, but he was family. And it's hard losing someone like that.

But it's also a lot harder watching someone you love go through it. I mean sure, my body was very used to this pain, I mean losing a mom to cancer makes your pain a little less hard.
