Chapter 1: That Night
It was a chilly night in the city of Lima, Ohio. The boys were all at Blaine's house watching a movie. They were waiting for their friend Jessie St. James to arrive.
"What's taking him so long?" Kurt asked as he stretched out across the couch. Puck and Finn were throwing the football around.
"You know Jessie, always trying to be fashionably late." Finn said.
"I don't get the hype. What's so cool about fashion?" Puck asked. Kurt, Blaine, and Sebastian gasped.
"You've got to be kidding me?" Kurt said as he fanned himself.
"Fashion rules the world. It's what keeps us looking so cool." Sebastian said.
"As if you could fit into some cool clothing." A voice said from the doorway. Everyone turned around and looked at Jessie. Sebastian looked at the ground and bit his lip. He knew he was a bit overweight, but he planned on losing it.
"Hey losers." He said as he handed them some cups. Kurt took his and sniffed it.
"Ugh, this smells gross." He said. Jessie furrowed his eyebrows.
"Duh genius it's liquor, it's not supposed to smell good." Jessie scoffed. He poured each boy a drink and sat down.
"Dude did you see how cool the football players are this year?" Sam asked.
"Yeah, I think football players are so cool." Karofksy said. Jessie raised an eyebrow.
"Of course you would." Jessie said with a smirk. Karofsky's smile faltered. The rest of boys drank their drinks and settled down for the night.
"I feel so…I don't know." Rory yawned. Jessie looked over at him.
"No offense dude, but no one understands a word you're saying. Learn English please." Blaine was starting to get kind of tired of Jessie's rude comments. He was going to say something, but decided that maybe he shouldn't.
"Okay guys, I think that we should tell each other secrets. I mean, it is what bonds friends together." Jessie said. The boys all began sharing some things that they thought would be safe. None of them knew exactly how wrong they were.
Later that night while the boys slept, they heard a noise. Puck, being the badass that he is, went to go investigate the noise, when he did he found Blaine in the kitchen.
"Did you hear that?" he asked. Blaine nodded his head in the darkness.
"Yeah, have you seen Jessie?" he asked.
"No, that's why I woke up." Puck said.
"He's probably just playing another prank." Finn said as he walked into the kitchen.
"Maybe." Blaine said. All of a sudden they heard a loud bang. The boys went into the living room and discovered that the front door was wide open. Blaine walked forward and ran into Kurt and Sebastian.
"Whoa, what the hell are you doing out there?" he asked.
"We saw Jessie get up and leave, so we followed him. He got into some car and left." Kurt said.
"I'm sure he'll be back." Blaine said.
One year later. It's been a full year since Jessie St. James went missing. The boys split up into their own cliques. Kurt's acne went away and he got his braces removed. He then decided to join the cheerleading squad. Blaine joined the drama club. Dave, Puck, and Finn joined the football team. Sam joined the swim team. Sebastian joined the Lacrosse team, and Rory joined the Debate team. So pretty much life was sweet.
Puck was in his room looking at some of his old things. He couldn't believe that a year had gone by since Jessie's disappearance. His sister Sarah came in his room and sat down on the bed.
"You really miss him don't you?" she asked.
"Yeah, he was my friend. He made all of us feel like we mattered." Puck said.
"Well, you matter to me. I look up to you. I mean sure you do stupid stuff, but I learn from your mistakes." She said as she got up. "Come on, we're gonna be late for school." Puck sighed and got up.
"Looks like it's gonna be another boring day." He said as he left his room.
Once he dropped Sarah off at school he decided to go to a restaurant. He sat on the bar stool and looked over at a beautiful cougar at the end of the bar. Since Puck was the 'Slut' of the school he decided to put the moves on her.
"Haven't seen you around here lately, you new?" he asked.
"Yes, I'm actually a teacher." She said.
"Really? What subject?" he asked.
"You don't really care do you?" she asked with a smirk. Puck proceeded to get closer.
"No not really." He said. The next thing they knew they were in the bathroom stall kissing up a storm.
"You do this with all the girls" the woman asked.
"Only special ones." Puck replied. "What's your name anyway?" he asked.
"Shelby." The woman responded.
Meanwhile, across town Kurt was getting into his truck with Finn in tow. Their parents finally tied the knot and now they were step brothers. But Kurt still had some feelings for Finn, but he didn't understand what they meant.
"I really hope I pass Mr. Shue's test today. French is so hard." Finn said. Kurt just stared at him.
"Finn, please tell me you're joking?" he asked. Finn just looked at him with puppy dog eyes. "You're taking Spanish, just like me."
"Oh okay. No wonder I kept getting it wrong on Google translation." Finn said with a smile. It actually made Kurt go weak in the knees. Even though his crush on Finn is over, he still thinks he's adorable. They pulled up to the school and got out.
"See ya bro, I'm gonna go hang out with my teammates." Finn said and ran off. He was just too cute some times. Kurt walked into the building and went to his locker. As he put his books away, he looked around in the hallway and noticed how hot some of the boys looked. But he liked Sebastian right? I mean they were in a relationship right?
"Why do I keep doing this? I have Sebastian. I love him right?" he was so confused. All of a sudden his phone vibrated.
"Probably Finn, wonder what he did now?" But when he looked at his screen, he noticed that it was from an unknown number
It would appear that someone's doubting their relationship. It would be a shame if this secret got out.
J.
"Jessie?" Kurt said out loud.
