The Funeral - One Sweet Day

Days passed and no one heard from Finn. He wouldn't answer calls or texts and he kept himself away from the computer. When people came to visit, his mum told him that Finn was busy. She was told not to go to his room unless it was to give him food. She worried about him but he wanted to be hidden from the world.

Burt Hummel sorted out the church service and burial within a week. He had asked someone to text Finn, as he knew he wouldn't get in touch with him. At the church service, he greeted the guests and guided them to their seats. The front row was reserved for the Glee kids and teachers. As the service began, he took a seat next to Mercedes and listened as the priest talked, but he didn't really hear any off it. His head was bowed down and he was playing with his hands. After about 10 minutes, the priest asked him to go up and give a speech. He took a deep breath and turned to face the church…

"Ten years ago, I lost one of the people I loved the most. I managed to deal with it because I had Kurt there. He reminded me so much of my wife. He was always so full of energy, he didn't walk…He bounced. When he went to High School, I noticed a slight difference. He started wearing odder clothes and singing a lot more. I asked him what had happened and he told he was part of the Glee club, it was the happiest I had ever seen him. Recently, I found out that he got a hard time, but as long as he was happy when he got home, that was all that mattered to me. Then, when he had just turned sixteen, he joined the football team to hide from me the fact he was gay. When he eventually told me, I wasn't shocked, I had known since he was three. Students at the school would pass him the hall and call him names, some would smile politely but not stop to talk, but the students in the front row made his time at the school worth it. He only ever really talked about a few of them and it's them I want to thank… Mercedes Jones, Tina Cohen-Chang and Artie Abrams. They were the people he mentioned the most and the people I had the pleasure of meeting. I will never forget my son… Rest in Peace Kurt Hummel, I will always love you".

As Burt finished his speech, he looked at Will and nodded. He took a seat as the Glee kids all stood and turned to face the audience. Will walked over to a small CD player that had a backing track on it:

When the group had finished singing, their wasn't a dry eye in the church. The priest said some closing words and then the church emptied. Those who could, departed for the burial and those who couldn't bid goodbye to Burt and left.

The only people at the burial were the Glee kids, Will, Emma and Burt. They all stood around together, holding each others hands and sobbing as Kurt's body was lowered into the grave. The priest spoke whilst it was happening and then asked for Burt to throw some dirt onto the coffin. He nodded and grabbed a handful of dirt. He threw it in but kissed the hand clutching the dirt first. The priest finished the ceremony and the group walked down to the church together. They didn't know what they were going to do, but they knew it would involve being together.

After some deliberation, they all agreed to go to a local pub and just sit. The adults had alcohol and the kids had to have pop. They spoke of the good times with Kurt and how he had effected the Glee club. It wasn't till a couple of hours later when Burt realised that Finn wasn't there. He excused himself and walked back to the graveyard. As he neared the now filled grave, he saw a figure sat next to it, hugging his knees and shaking. He knew that it was Finn.
