My name is Blaine Anderson and I'm 18 years old. A virus has killed 99% of the Earth's population over night. This is the story of my journey to New York to find Kurt Hummel. I can only hope he is ok.

I had spent most of the weekend locked in my room as my parents were fighting over me again so I found it was easier to hide myself away. Skypeing with Kurt kept me entertained but even then he couldn't talk for long as he had rehearses for a show he was putting on with NYADA. I threw myself on my bed and closed my eyes. My dreams had been the same the last few nights, they involved me and Kurt walking hand in hand round central park just us no one else but today they were different, Kurt wasn't there this time and I was alone on my own in the park.

I opened my eyes, I hadn't meant to sleep for this long. It was now Monday morning so I got up and jumped in the shower before changing. I choose some simple black trousers and a white shirt with a black jumper and a Blue tie. I checked my look in the mirror before grabbing my phone and bag. I left my room for the first time in 24 hours, I was starving so I quickly ran to the kitchen and made some toast. My parents weren't up which made me happy as I knew they would have found something to argue with me about about. I ate as fast as I could and left a note on the kitchen work surface to say I had gone to school. I made my way out of the front door to find my street was deserted, normally it was busy with parents taking their kids to school and people on their way to work but nothing. I got into my car and started the engine and drove off the driveway. Every road I went on was empty. I parked my car in the empty student car park and got out. My heart started to race something was wrong and I could feel it, I walked to the door but when I tried to open it, it was locked. I moved my face closer to look in through the window but it was dark and empty inside. I slowly walked back to my car, usually this area was crawling with people but today it was dead. I decided it would be best to head back home.

I pulled onto my drive to find my families cars still there. I got out and went inside the house.
"Mom, Dad?" I shouted but there was no reply.
"Mom, Dad?" Again nothing, I ran up the stairs as fast as my legs could take me to my parent's room. I knocked on the door but there was no answer so I decided to just go in. There were in bed but as I walked closer I could see there was no sign movement.
"Mom? Dad?" I said as I walked up to the bed, they both looked like they were still asleep. I started to feel uneasy as I stood at the end of the bed. Then it hit me, they weren't breathing. I ran up as fast as I could to look for signs of life but nothing. I grabbed the phone on the table at the side of the bed and dialled 911. Nothing it was dead so I quickly grabbed my mobile out of my phone and dialled the number again. It rang but no one picked up so I decided to go to the neighbour's house. I ran as fast as I could almost falling down the stairs and breaking my neck as I did. I jumped over the fence and banged on the front door, nobody answered so I ran to the window and put my face close to the glass to look in. I could see someone face down on the floor. I quickly turned around as fast as I could, so fast I almost made myself sick. I slowly sat down on the grass unsure what to do. This would explain why everywhere was deserted but why I am still alive, why me? I grabbed my mobile out of my pocket and pulled up Kurt's number hoping that he would answer but it just rang and rang. Then an image popped into my mind what if Kurt was just like his neighbour face down in his dorm room. I started to cry as I kept redialling.
"Come on Kurt" I kept saying to myself every time I dialled the number. After about five minutes I gave up and placed the phone back in my pocket. I got up and decided to go back to my house and as I did I suddenly thought of Burt, please not him. I decided to get back into my car and head over to the Hummel house and find out for myself.

I slowly pulled onto the drive and felt shivers down my spine, I knew what I was going to find wouldn't be good. I made my way to the door and knocked, like everywhere else there was no answer. I knew there was a spare key as Burt had told me that if I wanted to see him at any time I could just walk in. I found the key and put it in the lock. I made my way into the hallway and looked around. Everything was quite and the blinds were open.
"Burt, Carol?" I shouted but nothing so decided to run and check every room. After checking everywhere I hadn't found Burt or Carol. I sighed in relief as I didn't want to find them like everyone else but at the same time I wanted to know what happened to them.

I drove home as it was the only thing I could think of doing. I ran to my room and threw myself on my bed. Part of me was hoping that if I fall asleep then maybe this was actually a horrible nightmare and I would really wake up and everything would be fine. I felt my eyes become heavy as I drifted off to sleep.

I was woken by a pain in my stomach, I was so hungry and hadn't eaten since breakfast. I checked my watch to see it was almost 4pm so I went down to the kitchen and grabbed a snack. On my way back up I stopped at my parent's room. I slowly opened the door, they were still were I left them. I walked in and grabbed the bed cover and slowly pulled it over them. My eyes filled with tears as I covered their faces.
"Even though we never got along, I love you guys so much." I said as I wiped the tear off my face and slowly turned and exited the room. I went back to my room and tried to turn on my computer.
"Crap" I said as I realised that the power was out. I quickly ran to my cupboard and found out the biggest rucksack I could find, I pulled it out and ran to my draws and pulled out all my clothes and threw them in the bag. I looked to my side table and saw Kurt's picture looking at me, I was deep in thought for a second before I grabbed it and placed it safety in the bag. I threw the bag over my shoulder, grabbed another bag and headed to my door. I took one last look back unsure when or if I would ever return. I hadn't really thought of a plan but all I knew was that I wanted to drive to New York. I stopped in the kitchen grabbed as much food as I could and headed to my father's car. He had a 4x4 which I decided would be perfect as it had a lot of space which meant I could sleep in the back with plenty of room. I filled up the boot with as much food and water I could get my hands on before I quickly ran to the spare room in which we kept all our hiking gear and grabbed all the lamps and cooking equipment we had. I finally got in the driver's seat, turned on the engine and slowly pulled off the drive. I had stopped at the closet place and filled up the car before heading off. I had never seen the freeway so empty, I drove as fast as I could leaving Lima behind me.

I had been driving for a few hours now and it was dark. I pulled over to the side of the road and made the seats at the made the seats flat. I unrolled the sleeping bag and pulled out the pillows and set up for the night.

I was woken up by a banging sound, I opened my eyes to see a young women standing at the window looking in. I quickly got myself out of the sleeping bag and opened the door.
"Your your..." She said as she tried to process the information.
"Alive?" I replied.
"Yes." She said as she sat herself down on the floor and placed her head in her hands.
"Are you ok?" I asked as I jumped out of the car and went to comfort the women. She slowly pulled her head up and looked at me.
"I'm sorry but you're the first person that I've seen alive." She replied as she wiped the tears from her face.
"Same, do you have any idea what happened?" I asked as I helped her pull herself off the floor.
"Everyone I knew was ill and now they're dead. I don't know what to do." She said as I hugged her.
"You can come with me, I mean if you want. I'm going to New York." I said as I walked to the car and opened the door. She nodded and got in before I got into the driver's seat.
"Why New York?" She asked me as I turned on the engine. I sighed before replying.
"Well... my... my... boyfriend. I need to see if he's alive." I said as I started to pull out.
"Do you think he'll be ok? I mean this thing has..." She said as I kept an eye on the road.
"I don't know but I have to go and see." I said as I tried to hold back the tears.
"I'm Alex by the way." She said as she turned and smiled at me.
"Blaine."
