Chapter 1
Somewhere Only We Know A/N: So, the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the RMS Titanic occurred this weekend, and while I was on Facebook, I found a picture of Klaine as Jack and Rose. I thought it was super adorable, so I sent it to one of my gleeky friends who helped me decide to write a ff out of that picture. Although, the picture made it out to seem like Blaine is Rose and Kurt is Jack, it's pretty obvious it is supposed to be the other way around. This is also my first Klaine ff I ever wrote and I pray to god you like it. I know my love for both Glee and Titanic will help. – Emily August 13, 1997: Huntington Bay, Long Island, New York While sitting in his old rocking chair on his patio, he sees his granddaughter's car pull up into his driveway with a handful of his great-grandchildren; a smile has grown on Kurt Anderson's face, a rare occurrence to his granddaughter's surprise. "Granddad, you're…you're actually smiling" she says to Kurt. He is actually surprised himself to be smiling. Since the death of the love of his life, Kurt hasn't smiled much- actually, not at all. All Kurt has done is sit on his old rocking chair on the patio, eat dinner in his living room, and sleep in his room. Sure, he was almost 101 years old, but he could not stop counting the days until God came for him to send him to heaven. All he really wanted to do now was be with his love again. "Yes I know Liz. I'm surprised myself." She helps him walk inside while her children are pestering him for presents, and for a good story. "Well, since grandpa died, I know you've been upset. I brought you something that I found on this website called 'EBay' and I think you're really going to like it." She pulls out a box and gives it to Kurt, with a big smile on her face. He opens it to see something he never thought he would see again: A boarding pass dated "10 April 1912" from the White Star Line, like the one Kurt had years ago. He has been looking for one of these boarding passes for years, but he could never one. Most of them went down with the ship anyway. "Liz, how…how did you know?" he asked her, with some tears in his eyes. "EBay sells things that you want and, I somehow stumbled upon this. I paid around $550 for it granddad, because I know if you had it, you could have closure." She sees Kurt starting to cry and she hugs him. "It's okay granddad…I know you miss grandpa…and I know how traumatic it was being on the ship, and that's why I got it for you." He hugs her more. "Thank you Liz, so much." He sits back down on his chair, looking at the boarding pass. So many memories come out of this boarding pass, in fact, this boarding pass helped him reach his life he has now, and the life he experienced with his love, and the friends he made while aboard the ship. While lost in his memories, the youngest of his three grandchildren comes up to him and sits in his lap. "Granddad Kurt, what's that?" He points to the boarding pass. While wiping the tears from his eyes, he looks down at his great grandson. "Well Chris, this is a boarding pass from years ago. Before we had airplanes, we had to travel everywhere on ships. This was one of the tickets that would allow people onto the ship I was on years ago." Just then, Kurt's other two great grandchildren walked into the room. The ten year old looked down at the boarding pass and was fascinated by it. "Whoa a boarding pass from years ago. Granddad Kurt, where did you find this?" She looked down at it again and smiled, which made Kurt smile. Then, the sixteen year old took it from her sister's hand. "Heather, mom bought it on the internet and got it for Granddad Kurt. Remember we saw the box for it outside the other day?" After seeing the discouragement in Heather's face, Kurt decided to barge into the argument. "Jenna, I know you're sixteen and all but, can you please be a little bit nicer to your sister? And Heather, yes your mother found it, but I'm happy either way. It gives me closure." Both Heather and Chris sat there confused. "Closure, Granddad Kurt?" Heather asked. "What's closure mean?" He sits up and lets her sit on his knee. "It means, this was something I needed to find before I go to heaven to be with Grandpa Blaine." Even saying his name, Kurt started to cry again. All three great grandchildren go over and hug their great grandfather, and Kurt starts to smile through his tears again. "Granddad Kurt? Can you tell us a story please?" Chris asked him. Kurt sat there thinking of any story he hasn't told them yet. He's told them stories about their grandparents, their parents, and even stories about when they were little that they could not remember. Then it hit him, he hasn't told them HIS story yet, the story behind this special boarding pass. "How long do you guys have? I have a long story to tell you guys." He looks up at Liz, who realizes that they don't have to be home until dinner, and it was only 1 PM. "We have enough time. Go ahead," She tells him. " Well, behind this boarding pass is a story" he starts out with. "This story is one that I have never told ANYONE about, not even your mother knows. I've been holding this one until I could find the strength to tell it. You see, behind the words on this boarding pass, you see a picture of a huge ship, the ship that brought me back home to America from England, or well, attempted to bring me back home. It was called the ship of dreams…"
