"2011 is almost over. Did you accomplish everything you wanted to?"

"It wasn't too shabby. I did make prom queen," Kurt replied "How about you?"

"Kurt, you have made this the best year of my life. You've made me so happy," Blaine smiled back. Kurt blushed, betraying himself, and quickly looked around to see if anyone had noticed.

The Hummel-Hudson new years eve party was in full swing. The room was crowded with various members of the extensive Hummel-Hudson clan, along will all the kids from glee club. In the corner he spotted Finn in the middle of a passionate kiss with Rachel. Burt clipped him round the ear as he walked past, making his way to Will and Emma with a couple of beers in his hand. No one was paying any attention to Kurt and Blaine.

Kurt turned back to face his boyfriend.

"Best year of your life so far," he corrected. "It's only going to get better. 2012 is going to be magical, I know it".

"10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5..."

The countdown had started.

Blaine was staring at Kurt with the same face he made while listening to Kurt sing 'Blackbird'. The face he made when he first realised he was in love. The smile that could always take Kurt's breath away.

"I can't wait".

"4... 3... 2... 1..."

Kurt stepped forwards as Blaine pulled him in to their first kiss of the new year.

"Kurt? Kurt are you still there? Hello?"

Everything had frozen. This wasn't happening. This couldn't be happening. He could see his dad walk towards him, his mouth was moving but Kurt couldn't make sense of the words. Burt took the phone from Kurt's hand and started speaking into it. After a minute Burt hung up and put a hand on his son's shoulder, bringing him back to reality.

"C'mon kid, we gotta go."

They were silent the whole car ride to the hospital. Burt wanted to say something comforting and reassuring, but how could he tell his son that everything would be okay? Maybe it wouldn't be.

Kurt was thinking over the words he'd heard over the phone before everything became blurred and Mr Anderson's voice became distance. Car accident. Head Injury.

"But he's okay, isn't he?"

Then there was a pause. Kurt knew that if the answer was 'yes' there would have been no hesitation.

They arrive at the hospital and the nurse on reception directed them where to go. They spotted Mr and Mrs Anderson and headed over to them.

Kurt stopped in his tracks and looked through the window, into the room that they were all standing outside of. Inside the room lying on a bed was a bruised Blaine. He tore himself away from the sight to join his dad and Blaine's parents. Mrs Anderson's eyes were red and Mr Anderson was looking very tired.

"Thank you for coming. I'm sorry for giving you the news over the phone Kurt but I... well I couldn't leave to tell you in person."

Kurt spoke for what felt like the first time in days. "It's fine. Is Blaine going to be okay?"

"Luckily he doesn't seem to have broken anything, but he's bruised a couple of ribs and... he hit his head. The doctors have stitched him up but we won't know how much damage has been done until he wakes up."

Kurt looked back his boyfriend "Can I go in?".

"Of course."

For the next few hours "Burt and Mr Anderson made small talk". Kurt's eyes never left Blaine. They were all waiting anxiously for Blaine to wake up. Kurt had already decided that whatever happened, however damaged Blaine was, he wouldn't leave him.

He sat up quickly as Blaine start to shift, startling everyone else in the room. Mrs Anderson stood up.

"I'm going to get a nurse." she said before rushing out of the room.

By the time Blaine had opened his eyes, his father was standing by his bed, Kurt next to him.

"What... what's going on? Where am I? Dad?"
Mr Anderson sighed with relief. "You're in the hospital Blaine, you had an accident."

Blaine's eyes trailed to the boy standing next to his father. Their eyes met and the boy sobbed.

"Blaine..."

"I'm sorry," Blaine started to say.

"Don't be sorry. It's not your fault. You don't need to be sorry." The boy was still sobbing, but now he was starting to smile.

"I'm sorry," Blaine repeated "But I don't know who you are."

The smile left Kurt's face.
