Spoilers: Not much, I guess parts of the first half of season three.
Chapter One:
Kurt's POV:
They say that ignorance is bliss. Maybe if I'd called ahead instead of trying to be spontaneous and romantic I would not be currently tearing out the decorations on the inside of my locker and crying my eyes out in an empty hallway. Maybe I wouldn't be heartbroken. Maybe I wouldn't have caught Blaine cheating on me with Warbler Sebastian Smythe. Less than forty minutes ago I was using my spare key (yes, I have the spare key because his parents aren't home much so they can't really do anything about it) to open the front door the Anderson household. Less than forty minutes ago I was in a perfectly happy and stable relationship. At least, I thought I was. For all I knew he'd been cheating since he met Sebastian at Dalton weeks ago.
I didn't see it coming though. I think blindsided is the term that is appropriate for walking into your boyfriend of almost one year's house and find him lip-locked with another guy on his couch. They broke off as soon as they heard the strangled gasp I couldn't keep from escaping and Blaine's eyes widened like he was as surprised as I was that he was kissing another guy. Maybe he was just surprised he got caught. Sebastian just quirked an eyebrow looking like he just wanted to watch the show that was bound to happen. And boy did it happen.
I don't really remember much of what I said or even much of what he said. He kept trying to grab at me and I keep pushing him away. I was crying, like I am now, but not as hard. Now I was sobbing. He said it wasn't what it looked like; he said that I needed to let him explain. I walked out. No, I stormed out. Rachel Berry would have been proud. I barely remember driving to the school. It was a twenty minute drive at least and somewhere in the back of my mind I am hoping that I didn't run any red lights or hit any squirrels. Those worries are not at the front of my mind right now though, never mind the worry that the school should probably be locked up this late at night.
So here I was slumped on the floor of a hallway of McKinley High with torn up pieces of clipped magazine, that once spelled out courage, and sobbing over a picture of Blaine's Dalton yearbook photo, from before we met, whose glass covering was now shattered in my rage. I was gripping at its frame so tight that I was pretty sure the glass had cut my fingers. I was seeing red, but I wasn't sure if it was blood or anger. I was numb. I couldn't feel pain in my fingers because my heart hurt so much that it was the only thing I could feel. I closed my eyes.
"Blaine."
Blaine's POV:
"Get out!" I shouted at Sebastian as soon as I walked back into my house. I'd run out after Kurt but he'd driven away. Sebastian stood up from where he'd be sitting.
"Listen, Blaine," He said raising his hands in a pacifying gesture, "I know that you're upset right now and maybe jumping you like that wasn't the best way to express my feelings toward you but I-"
"Shut up!" I shouted. I didn't want to see him or hear him. I just wanted him gone. I should never have let him come inside in the first place. I was trying to be nice because he was a Warbler and once a Warbler always a Warbler, right? I mean, they were my friends so there was no reason why the new guy and I couldn't be friends too. I knew that Kurt was a little possessive around him but I didn't feel anything for him so I figured maybe by hanging out with him he would get the signal that it wasn't mutual. But no, instead he had to go and throw himself at me. He decided that the best course of action would be to grab me by my face and kiss me hard on the mouth the second I sat down on the couch. Then the universe decided it would be funny to have my boyfriend walk in on us. There shouldn't even be a "us" to walk in on. There is no "us"!
"Get out!" I repeated gesturing out the door I was holding open. He frowned and looked at the floor as he shuffled out. Once on the porch he turned back opening his mouth like he wanted to say something. I shut the door.
Then I slumped against the door and slid to the floor. I can't believe that Kurt just walked in on my cheating. I mean, I wasn't really cheating, but that was what it looked like. I hurt him and I never wanted to do that. I loved the guy! Now he thinks that I want to be with Sebastian! This is so screwed up. He was crying and shaking, sort of like I was now.
Crap! He was driving! He was in no state to drive! It didn't matter if he was mad at me, I needed to call his house and make sure he got home safe. I ran into my bedroom and grabbed my cell phone of my desk. His home phone was favorited in my contact list and within seconds Finn picked up the phone.
"Hullo?" He asked.
"Finn? Its Blaine. Listen, did Kurt make it home okay?"
"Uh, was he headed here? I mean, he told me he was going to your house and both our parents are out of town and I know yours never are around so I figured he'd just spend the night."
"No, listen. There was, err, I mean we, I kinda-" I broke off with a sigh and started over, "We had a fight alright? He stormed off and he was upset and I'm just really worried about him driving like that. So could you tell me he got there safe, please."
"Oh geeze. I haven't heard him come in but maybe I missed him. I'll check his room." There was a pause and I heard Finn walking around. "He isn't here Blaine. When did he leave?"
"Long enough ago that he should be there by now. Shit. I'm really worried. He probably doesn't want to see or talk to me right now. I screwed up man."
"What did you do?"
"That isn't important right now. I'm worried he got in an accident!"
"Where else might he go?" Finn wondered.
"I don't know!" I was freaking out.
"Oh! I know. I remember one time he told me that the best way to express your emotions was to sing about them. Maybe he went back to the choir room! I'm going to call Mr. Shu and see if he can run down to the school and check the choir room. I'll text you if there is news."
"Okay. Thanks. Bye, Finn." The phone clicked off and I collapsed on my bed.
Mr. Shuster's POV:
I was woken by the sound of "Don't Stop Believing". I looked around me confused where I was at first but I soon realized that I'd fallen asleep grading papers. I hoped Emma wasn't too worried about me. Maybe it was her calling me.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Mr. Shu?" He sounded panicked.
"Finn?"
"Is there anyway way you can get to the school to see if Kurt is there?"
"Calm down, Finn," I soothed, "Now first of all, I'm already at the school. I'm behind on checking papers. Secondly, why would Kurt be here this late at night?"
"Blaine called me and he said that he and Kurt got into a fight and Kurt stormed out and he was crying and he didn't come home and I think there is a chance he might have gone to the choir room to sing about it and could you just check?" He spurted out in one breath. It took me a few seconds to process it all but once I did I understood why he was worried.
"Of course, I'll go check right now." I jogged out of my office and headed towards the choir room but I didn't make it all the way before I saw Kurt's figure slumped against his locker. "I found him. Don't worry. Can you come pick him up? I'm sure his car will be safe here over night."
"Yeah. Of course. I'll be right there. And thanks."
"No problem. We'll be in the choir room." I hung up and walked over to Kurt and knelt in front of him. It looked like he'd cried himself to sleep. He looked exhausted. That must have been some fight. Any trace of Blaine had been decimated from his locker. I wondered if they'd broken up. "Kurt?"
I gently shook his shoulder and he mumbled in his sleep. I shook him again and he blinked his eyes open. Then he rubbed his arm over his eyes and I noticed his hands were stained with dried blood from the glass picture frame.
"Huh? Mr. Shu?" He asked sounding disoriented.
"Come on. Up." I gentle tugged him up off the floor and shut his locker door. Then I grabbed the pieces of his locker off the floor in one hand and I pulled him along with me to the choir room with the other. Once inside I sat him on the piano bench where he looked up at me pathetically and sniffled. "I'm going to get you some bandages for your hands. Stay here, okay? Finn is on his way to come get you and take you home."
He nodded and I walked into the choir room storage office to find the first aid kit. I grabbed it and hurried back to the main room. Once there I was met with something unexpected. Kurt had turned to the keys and had started playing and singing. I was slightly worried about Brad finding blood on his keys on Monday but I stopped to listen in spite of this.
"Alone in this house again tonight
I got the TV on, the sound turned down and a bottle of wine
There's pictures of you and I on the walls around me
The way that it was and could have been surrounds me
I'll never get over you walkin' away"
I was shocked. I'd never heard this side of Kurt before. His voice was pitched slightly lower than usual with a slight rougher southern twang, but no the obvious affected one from "Pink Houses". I could hear the emotion in his voice. He must be really hurting.
"I've never been the kind to ever let my feelings show
And I thought that bein' strong meant never losin' your self-control
But I'm just drunk enough to let go of my pain
To hell with my pride, let it fall like rain
From my eyes
Tonight I wanna cry"
He let this voice slip higher into a more comfortable range for the chorus and his voice rose in volume. It was beautiful.
"Would it help if I turned a sad song on
'All By Myself' would sure hit me hard now that you're gone
Or maybe unfold some old yellow lost love letters
It's gonna hurt bad before it gets better
But I'll never get over you by hidin' this way"
This was way more than a "we had a fight" song. He was heartbroken. To him, their relationship was over and whatever happened, it was Blaine's fault. It was killing me to see Kurt hurt this badly.
"I've never been the kind to ever let my feelings show
And I thought that bein' strong meant never losin' your self-control
But I'm just drunk enough to let go of my pain
To hell with my pride, let it fall like rain
From my eyes
Tonight I wanna cry"
I rubbed at a tear trying to escape my eye. His voice was its best when he was emotional. I should give him more solos. He took a break from singing to play a brief instrumental solo and he played beautifully. I didn't even know he could play the piano. Sometimes I forget how talented he is.
"I've never been the kind to ever let my feelings show
And I thought that bein' strong meant never losin' your self-control
But I'm just drunk enough to let go of my pain
To hell with my pride, let it fall like rain
From my eyes
Tonight I wanna cry"
He sang the last chorus and managed to make it through the closing instrumental before letting his fingers slip from the keys. I heard a strangled sob escape him and he collapsed on to the piano crying into his arms. I slowly walked over and sat down next to him on the piano bench and rubbed his back. Eventually he calmed down enough that I could wrap the bandages around his hands. Then we just sat there in silence. I didn't ask and he didn't tell. I knew it was too fresh. Soon Finn came and took him home. I wondered what would happen at practice on Monday.

Author's Note:
So first off: thank you for reading this despite the fact that it is a break up fic. It will have a happy ending I promise.
Second: I plan on (hopefully) using a different character's POV at least two times per chapter. We'll see how that goes.
Third: This will be a short chapter story with probably no more then 5 chapters at the most. Right now it is looking more like 3 or 4.
4: Here is a link to the song : http:/ www. youtube. com/watch?v=Czb5P_pw8Fc&ob=av3n
