Author Note: OK, so this was an idea that just wouldn't leave my head and I knew I had to write it, no matter how hard it would be to do. I will warn you now, that this beginning chapter is easy going, compared to what's to come. I hope you enjoy!

Every Tragedy… Brings Some Truth

Go The Distance

As Kurt Hummel made his way from his car to the school building, he saw the gorillas from the football team staring at him from the dumpster. He began to walk towards them, knowing better then to run and hide. As he got closer however, his path was intercepted by Noah Puckerman and Finn Hudson. They turned him around and pushed him towards the school before angrily asking if the other footballers had a problem. Satisfied when no one answered, they rejoined Kurt. "You were walking towards them Kurt. Do you really like to be thrown in the dumpster that much?". Kurt sighed and readjusted his bag, "I just know from previous experience, it's best to not run and hide. Anyway, I see you too are talking again". Finn looked at Puck and shrugged his shoulders, "He might have slept with my girlfriend and got her pregnant, but they both need to be happy now. Anyway, I have Rachel". Puck hi-fived him and then they walked off towards their classes.

The day seemed to pass by quickly and before he knew it, Kurt was in the practise room, ready to start Glee Club. Will Schuester was a nice guy who all the students liked. He had taken over the running off Glee Club and it had been an effective change, they had won sectionals. As practise started, they were reminded about how difficult Regional's would be then handed some fresh sheet music. Kurt's face lit up when he saw it was 'Go The Distance' from his favourite Disney film, Hercules but sung by Lucas Grabeel. He smiled, he knew the words to this song like the back of his hand. Everyone was talking excitedly until Mr S stopped them and asked for Kurt to stand up. With one eyebrow raised, he obliged and stood slowly. Mr S laughed at his curiosity and announced that Kurt was going to have the lead vocals. His smile spread from ear to ear and he felt people clapping him on the back, hugging him and heard everyone shout well done… This was his first solo and he couldn't't wait to tell his dad about it! He took a spot next to the piano and took a deep breath, ready too show the class what he had:

I have often dreamed Of a far-off place Where a hero's welcome Will be waiting for me Where the crowds will cheer When they see my face And a voice keeps saying This is where I'm meant to be I'll be there someday I can go the distance I will find my way If I can be strong I know every mile Will be worth my while When I go the distance I'll be right where I belong

He finished at the chorus and was met by a round of applause and a hug from Mercedes, even Rachel had nice things to say. The practise ended on a round of applause and people started to leave. Kurt stayed behind with Mercedes and Tina and thanked Mr S for giving him the solo, telling him he would be telling his father later.

The trio walked to the parking lot, discussing their plans for the evening. Tina was going some family meal which would probably end in an argument and an awkward night. Mercedes was going to go home, update her twitter so everyone knew her main man had got the solo and then take a walk with her dog. Kurt smiled more as he discussed his plans, "Well, I'm going to go home and tell my dad that I got the solo. I can't wait to see his face glow, he is gunna be so proud". Tina giggled and smiled herself, "Let us know how he reacts. We want every detail". Kurt nodded and they parted ways at the bottom of the concrete steps. As he headed to his car, he put his earphones on, completely unaware of the world around him…
