Blaine walked into McKinley that day, bruises covering his skin. He made sure to get up an hour earlier so that he would have time to cover the bruises with makeup. Troy, Blaine's boyfriend, hit him again last night. This wasn't a rare thing. Troy hit Blaine on a regular basis. Blaine hates it and he hates Troy, but he's too afraid to speak up because he knows Troy has enough strength to put him in the hospital, so Blaine stays quiet and takes it. Blaine hardly smiles now, he doesn't even enjoy life anymore. And the worst part is, Troy has convinced Blaine and Blaine has convinced himself that he deserves getting beat. So not only is he tormented for being in the non-popular crowd at school, but now he's being physically harmed by the guy he says "I love you" to. There's only one thing that makes Blaine smile now, his best friend Kurt. Kurt was definitely the best thing that's happened to him. Even though Kurt doesn't know what Troy does to him, he some how is still able to turn Blaine's bad day's into good one's.

Blaine see's Kurt in the hallway and smiles softly. He walks up to him, trying his best to hide the wincing from the bruises on his body.

"Hi Kurt." Blaine says, his voice obviously a little drained of emotion but it wasn't obvious enough for Kurt to notice.

"Oh, hey Blaine." Kurt turns from his locker and smiles.

"How are you?" Blaine asks trying to remain as calm and composed as possible.

"I'm good, how are you? Did you pass your History exam?" Kurt asks as he exchanges books from his locker to his satchel and vice versa.

"I'm fine." Blaine lied.

"But um…yeah I passed. I got a 75% that's better than the last one. Not great but...better than the last one." He said, regaining his confidence. Kurt giggled softly.

"That's good. Why don't we have another study session after school on Friday?" Kurt asks as he closes his locker door.

"Yeah, okay, sounds good." Just as they were about to walk to class, one of the football players walked by them with a cup full of red slushie.

"Hey dweeb." He laughed and threw the slushie in Blaine's face. Now, this happens pretty often, so usually Blaine just shakes it off. He usually just wipes his face and moves on with his day. But today is different. When he wipes the slushie off his face, the makeup will come with it, revealing his fresh bruises. Blaine starts panicking, no one can know. If someone finds out or if he tells someone, Troy will beat him harder than he ever has. Without having a second thought, Blaine runs off to the bathroom, tears coming to his eyes.

This never happens. Blaine never reacts this way. Kurt quickly runs after him.

"Blaine!" Kurt called down the hallway.

"Blaine come on. Stop, please." Kurt begged but Blaine kept running until he reached the bathroom. Kurt caught up to him and followed him into the bathroom. Blaine grabbed paper towels and started washing off the slushie and the tears that were running down his face. Kurt walked up to him.

"Hey Blaine. What happened? What's wrong?" Blaine kept his face cast down.

"It's...it's nothing. I'm fine." Blaine lied again, turning his back to Kurt as he continued to wash his face until everything, including the makeup, was off.

"Blaine hey, look at me." Blaine lifted his head slowly and turned around to meet Kurt's eyes, and that's when Kurt saw it. A big purple bruise on the right side of his jaw and a smaller bruise on his left cheek.

"Oh my gosh Blaine…what...what happened? I mean...with the bruises?" Blaine couldn't form words. Tears just escaped his eyes and his bottom lip wobbled. Kurt ran up to him and took him in his arms. Blaine cried into his shoulder.

"Shh. Blaine, I've got you, it's okay." He cooed, running his hand up and down Blaine's back.
