Take On The World

Chapter 1

FINN

After the performance is finally over, I go into the choir room and scream. I kick a chair over and sit against the wall, crying harder than I've ever cried.

"Hey," I hear. I look up and see Quinn and Rachel standing there.

"Hey," I say quietly. They walk over and sit down next to me.

"Rachel told me about you and Kurt and can I just say, it's really cute that you like him," Quinn says. I smile and think about him.

"I don't just like him, I love him. I think I've felt this way since sophomore year, but I never realized it. And, Rachel. I'm so sorry. I feel like I've been leading you on."

"It's okay, Finn. I know how you feel," Rachel says. She looks at Quinn and it clicks. I shake my head and look up.

"I can't believe he left. And a day before graduation." I say. Quinn and Rachel engulf me in a hug. I cry a bit more and I hear a cough. I look up and see Blaine.

"Get out," Rachel says.

"Can I please talk to Finn?" Blaine asks. I stand up and go towards him, pinning him against the wall again.

"You have 10 minutes, Anderson," I say, looking down at him.

"I- I want to apologize to him," he says. I laugh, venom seeping into it.

"Oh that's funny. You think I'm gonna let you talk to him, again."

"Considering I'm the one he loves, yeah." I swing Blaine around and throw him to the ground. Rachel and Quinn scream. I get down and pin him to the floor.

"First of all, you have no right to say who he loves. You lost that right when you cheated on him. So forget about him," I say. He nods, fearfully. I get off of him.

"I really am sorry." Blaine says. He walks out of the room and I brush myself off.

"So what are you gonna do now?" Quinn asks, getting up on her feet and walking over to me.

"I'm gonna go after Kurt. I have to."

"How are you gonna do that?"

"Obviously I'm gonna go to New York."

"We have graduation tomorrow, Finn. I don't think you can miss it."

"You're right. I'll take Kurt's diploma for him and then I'll surprise him. Rachel, do you have an address you can give me?"

"No. He hasn't given me one. But as soon as he does, I'll give it to you. I'll stay behind here, since I have to pack up still."

"Okay. Okay I can do this. Graduate, go after Kurt. Got it." I say. I leave the school after saying goodbye to everyone. I get in the car and drive home.

KURT

I set my air mattress up in my new loft. It was the best I could afford on such short notice. I can definitely spruce it up. I lay down and begin to cry. Suddenly, my phone starts ringing. I pick it up and answer.

"Hello?" I croak.

"Kurt. It's me, Rachel. Are you safe? Are you okay?"

"Yes, Rachel. I'm fine. What do you need?"

"Well. I'm gonna be coming to New York next month instead of tomorrow."

"What? Rachel this has been our dream for the past 3 years."

"I know. I just need to get some stuff done here." I nod and try to hold back my tears.

"It's okay. I'll be okay. I'll send you the address so you can visit possibly." I say.

"Perfect. I'll talk to you later, Kurt. And I'll try to get your diploma as soon as possible."

"Thanks, Rach. I love you," I say.

"I love you too. Bye," she says, hanging up. I put my phone down and attempt to sleep. I go over to my window and sigh.

No heart, no hands, no skin, no touch
Can get me there, nowhere enough
To love me like you do, to love me like you do
No kiss, no lips, no feel, no rush
Can you keep me high, I swear no one
Can love me like you do, can love me like you do, no
Nobody's gonna love me like you
Nobody, uh
Nobody, no uh
Nobody's gonna love me like you do
Like you, ooh
Nobody's gonna love me like you
Nobody, uh
Nobody, no uh
Nobody's ever loved me to the truth
Like you, ooh
Nobody's gonna love me like you
Nobody, nobody oh
No oxygen, can barely breathe
My darkest sin, you've raised release
And it's all because of you, all because of you
I don't know what it is, but you've pulled me in
No one compares, could ever begin
To love me like you do
And I wouldn't want them to
'Cause
Nobody's gonna love me like you
Nobody, uh
Nobody, no uh
Nobody's gonna love me like you do
Like you, ooh
Nobody's gonna love me like you
Nobody, uh
Nobody, no uh
Nobody's ever loved me to the truth
Like you, ooh
Nobody's gonna love me like you
Nobody, uh
Nobody, no uh
I don't want nothing else
Not when I had the best
I don't want nothing else
'Cause you showed me the best
Nobody's gonna love me like you
Nobody, uh
Nobody, no uh
Nobody's gonna love me like you do
Like you, ooh
Nobody's gonna love me like you
Nobody, uh
Nobody, no uh
Nobody's ever loved me to the truth
Like you, ooh
Nobody's gonna love me like you
Nobody, nobody

I finish my song and I sit down. I look at my phone and see that it's 3am. I grunt and stand up. I go to the stores that I looked up and pick up all of my supplies. Then I wait for my furniture to he delivered. It finally arrives and I set up the apartment. I use curtains to make bedrooms. I then clean up the bathroom and the kitchen. I go to my room and lay down on my bed.

"Well. That took forever, but I'm here." I say. I yawn and fall asleep.
