Chapter 9

Alex's POV

We walked in to SND's charity center for the underprivileged to deliver our donations . Today was the day of the big SND party so the place was fancied up with red balloons everywhere , tables covered in white cloth , a stage where a band , that I couldn't say was famous or very good for that matter was playing an awful song , and in the middle of the medium sized room , with blue walls and white tiles for floor , was a large , glass box , with a big circular opening at the top , through which you can throw in your donations . It was half-way full with plastic bags and stray garments. Chris took our bags and threw them in .

There was merely thirty people in the room , talking amongst themselves in small groups of three .

"This place is weird " said Chris looking around .

"I agree , I mean it's kind of odd that all the groups only have three people . Usually you'd see one with 5 or 4 or even just 2 people talking . but no . it's like someone planned to only invite 30 people so they could all divide into groups equally ."

"you're right . it doesn't look like a coincidence . Anyway we gave away the stuff so let's get out of here."

"yea and it's kind of scary that we're the only unplanned guests ."

"what do you mean ?"

"we're the only ones that don't match the numbers . we're a group of two . and if things went according to plan , we would've been a group of 5 with Emma , Jeff and Sally . but we're not a group of three ."

"That really is creepy . That's it we're out of here."

We were almost out the door when someone called on us .

"Wait Wait !" it was an old man , he wore a dark black suit that made his paleness seem eerily paler . His eyes were a pale grey that was so pale they almost seemed completely white . His head was so utterly bald that it reflected the lights coming from the ceiling lamps .

" What is it ?" asked Chris as I stepped slightly behind him .

"You're Chris Colfer right ?" asked the old man in his sort of sweet innocent sounding voice . It was so sweet and suited him so perfectly that it almost felt fake and unreal .

"yes ?" answered Chris .

"Oh I thought I recognized you ! could you sign this for my granddaughter ?"

He handed him a picture of Kurt , with Blaine standing behind him and smiling in front of a big red curtain and under big yellow letters that spelled : GLEE . It was sort of a mini-poster or something . This would've been adorable if everything about this place and this man wasn't spooky .

Plus wasn't it a tad unusual for an old man to simply be carrying this picture around with him like that ?

Chris signed it anyway .

"oh where are my manners !" said the man as he took back the mini-poster and stuffed it in the pocket of his shirt . "I'm Sam N. Derlen , founder of The SND charity center . Pleased to make your acquaintance ." he held out his hand for me and Chris to shake , although when he got hold of mine , he kissed it which I found really creepy . "And is this charming young lady your girlfriend ?" he asked smiling almost evilly .

"No my girlfriend couldn't come . This is my friend , Alex Badwell ."

"Charmed " he smiled "But you know you two would make a lovely couple ."

"uhm thanks , but we're good being friends ." I said feeling very uncomfortable . Mostly because me and Chris dating was an impossibility . Not only because I'm in love with Jeff , and Chris is dating my best-friend , but also because me and Chris don't and will never feel that way about each other . He was like an older brother to me . A brother I loved and cared for very much , but a brother nonetheless .The idea of us together has never crossed my mind and now that it has It reassured me of how absurd it is , because it felt very wrong , it felt like incest . So I guess me and Chris as a couple would be the grossest thing in the world .
