Hi guys, this is my first Glee fanfiction. It will have mistakes. I wanted to do a story about Blaine where the rest of the cast try to help him with his home life, which in my story, following the category of Blaine being abused by his father, gets worse. Mainly I am writing this story to maybe fill in the blanks about Blaine and his family because we only met his mother and his brother Cooper once and never his father. So with the music of my favorite singer, Tina Turner, here is part one of my story.
Guest stars
George Clooney, Gina Gershon and Matt Bomer.
scene one: meet george anderson
Blaine comes home from McKinley High. His house is immaculate, and bigger than most of the houses in Lima, like a mini mansion. Well, money pays when your dad is a big shot lawyer and your mother is pediatrician. He starts to walk up the stairs, avoiding to talk to his parents, if they are home yet. He opens the door to his bedroom, he lazily drops his backpack on the floor by his bed. He flops down on his bed. He is exhausted, but happy. He is happy after being in glee club with Kurt. Ever since his transfer from Dalton, fitting in at McKinley was difficult, the rivalry between he and Finn, being overshadowed once again by his big brother Cooper, Sebastian throwing a rock salt infested slushie at him, which required surgery to fix… But Kurt made it better.
As long as Kurt was there for him, he felt safe and loved. But Kurt is gone now, that was before he graduated and moved to New York with Rachel, leaving him all by himself. And that was before he cheated and broke Kurt's heart, and all because he was lonely, he ended up losing maybe the one good thing in his stress-inducing life. His home life has gotten more was difficult. His mom was supportive and
loving and embraced him when he came out. His dad, however, withdrew from him emotionally. He started looking at him like he was an alien, a creature and not his son. He began to insult him, constantly putting him down. His mom never really said anything, except the occasional, "Honey please..", asking his dad to stop. His dad has been blaming his mom for his "sinful ways", that she coddled him too much, didn't raise him to be a man. Shortly after that, his mom caught his father cheating on her, she found a woman's phone number in his suit jacket. When she confronted him, he had the nerve to just look at her and say, "So?" His mom cried for weeks, then she just, put up a wall.
When he was beaten at his old school before transferring to Dalton, he dad told him in the hospital room, "Maybe now, you'll stop asking like a freak." A freak? His own dad, called him a freak? But what really scares Blaine, is how aggressive his dad has gotten. He started drinking, heavily, coming home with the stench of scotch on him. Last week he threw a glass at him! He's never done that to him, to anyone! Before he transferred to McKinley, his dad held him his shirt and shoved him into the wall for not cleaning the dishes. His breath reeked of alcohol as he said, "So now what, you're afraid you'll break a nail?!
That's mainly why he was afraid of Kurt leaving, he's become afraid of his father. He knows he can't just go to Kurt's house without Kurt being there, he knows Burt likes him; but he wouldn't invite him into his home like that. He just wishes he could just be with Kurt 24/7, so he wouldn't have to worry about his dad anymore. He needs something to get his mind off of Kurt and his dad. Music! He opens his drawer to find his laptop. He lays it on his computer desk and turns it on and waits for it to load. He types in his password (BAHtt17) which consist mainly of his future married name, Blaine Anderson-Hummel, when marriage is legal, of course. He opens the iTunes program and starts looking through his large musical catalog.
Then he starts to hear footsteps. It's his dad, he know it is. He always comes home soon after he does. He's here. Blaine can tell his father is standing in his doorway, without even turning around to look. He can feel his presence. His father had the type of personally now, it seems, that he could suck all the air out of the room before he even walked into the building.
"Blaine…." George Anderson asks in a serious, no nonsense tone. He's a good looking man, very tall, tan, salt and pepper hair, and very dapper. You can see where Blaine gets his looks from, but he looked more like a mixture of both his parent than Cooper did. His dad had a very rigid demeanor nowadays. Ever since Blaine came out to him, he has grown very cold, and harsh towards his family. Blaine's body automatically turns stiff and the sound of his father's voice. He doesn't answer right away.
"I know you can hear me, boy!" Shit! Blaine thinks to himself, he's in trouble now. He turns around from his computer desk to face his dad. He looks sober, for once, he mentions internally.
"Y-yes dad?" He stutters a bit on his words, fearing what his father might react. His dad steps into his room.
Blaine is shocked by his father's question, he's asking about college choices? Hopefully, he thinks his father isn't going to fly off the handle and they can have a calm and tension free conversation. Despite how George treats him, he still is searching and wanting to do almost anything to please his father, or anyone he cares about. Blaine swallows the fear of disappointment down his throat, mentally preparing himself to tell his father.
"I have thought of a few schools… I-I-I applied for University of Ohio, maybe to become a teacher." Blaine watches his father's face carefully, waiting to see any expressions of anger or dislike. Thank God not yet so far. "Or going into a college to learn to become a doctor or nurse." George rolls his eyes, he has never shown any wanting to become a doctor, why all because he used to watch E.R. and play Operation? Blaine notices that look, he's not buying it, he just might as well….tell him the truth.
"I…also applied for NYADA." He deliberately chose to say it as the acronym, hoping he doesn't ask for the full name of the college and just leaves it at that. He braces for his father's outburst.
There goes Blaine again, George thinks to himself, using those stupid acronyms, acting as if he's stupid. "Stop using those damn fake names and give me the real one, and speak up when I am talking to you!" Blaine flinches at his father's harsh tone, please don't piss him off Blaine, he says to himself. Finally after a few seconds of self arguing he gives into his father's request. "NYADA… is the New York Academy for Dramatic Arts, dad." He quickly shuts his eyes, waiting for the harsh tone to escalate.
George starts fuming, the boy is really testing his nerves. A drama school, really, he expects him to waste the money he worked hard for him and his wife Pam, on some pipe dream to be a "star"? He calmly, almost whispering, but the anguish completely present. "A drama school Blaine? I thought we had agreed on a college where you could study to be a lawyer or a doctor, like you mother and I. Or, oh I don't know, a more practical and realistic profession? His final sentence venomously projecting on the words practical and realistic, urging his troublesome son to give up this nonsense.
Blaine puts his head down, disappointed his father is coming out with this speech again. He wondered, when is his father going to support his choices and stop shutting them down. "Dad, that isn't what I want to do, not really. I really want to be an entertainer, it's what I find joy in. Why can't you just accept that?" He confronts his dad in a neutral and calm tone, once again, not wanting to upset him.
"Because I don't want you to waste your life away on some stupid dream." George's voice rises up an octave, beginning to hit the yelling stage. "Dreams are meant to happen in your sleep, Blaine. This is the real world, and in the real world, you can't spend it with your head in the clouds!" George takes a breath as he sees his son looking down in shame (or so he thinks). Good, he thinks to himself. He leans forward, so his son can hear him better. "Son, it is time that you grow up."
Blaine continues to hide his face in sadness, he still doesn't understand him, the negative voice inside his head speaking clearly. There his father goes again, calling his talent a fairy tale. But yet his brother is allowed to pursue his dreams, why can't he do the same? Blaine looks up at George annoyed. "What about Cooper, dad? You let him move to L.A. to become an actor, why do you always support him and not me?" Blaine tries not to cry, but his voice betrays him and a short hitch in it can be heard when he mentions about supporting him, which is all he ever wanted.
"Because Cooper has talent and dedication, something you lack in." George barks back at Blaine. Now it is time for Blaine to roll his eyes as his father once again sticks up for his brother and put him down. "You wouldn't know, you and mom have never gone to any of my show choir competitions to see what I am capable of!" Blaine verbally strikes back. Although he doesn't like to blame his mom for lack of support, she also has never been to any of Blaine's competitions with the Warblers or the New Directions.
George stands up, his blood boiling at Blaine's disrespect. How dare he talk to him like that?! "Don't talk to me that way, boy!" He warns his son once, staring him down to miniature size. Out the corner of his eye on Blaine's desk, is a picture of Blaine and that boy who corrupted his son. He thought that after being beaten up and put in the hospital twice would've given Blaine the message: he is wrong and he needs to start acting normal. And all because of that fag "Kurt" or whatever his sick name is. He goes in for the emotional kill, "Ever since you were….", he can't even bring him to say the word dating, as it repulses him, "…with that boy, you have been completely disrespectful and not taking your life seriously Blaine-"
Blaine stands up, jumping out of his soul in fury, his father always blamed Kurt for "changing him" or not following his rules or living up to his standards. "Stop it, his name is Kurt, and the only thing he did was love me!" The wounds still fresh from his break up with Kurt, as his eye start to shimmer with tears producing. But he will not let them fall, he was not going to break in front of his dad, he is not going to give George the satisfaction of knowing that what he was hoping came true, that him and Kurt broke up or that he cheated; as he always never saw the possibility that gay people could be in long term relationships and that they aren't all sex hungry freak shows.
George steps closer, hoping to put the fear of God into his son. "Blaine, I am warning you. You have had your fun, now it is time you gave up this high school… experiment and start acting normal-" Blaine has had it and cuts his father off before he can finish. "I am normal dad! There is nothing wrong with me!", Blaine's voice is shaking in anguish, but then he is cut off as he hears a loud crack fell the room. He feels a sharp, dull pain across his face, taking him down.
George looks down at his son on the ground, trembling with fear, with the same shocked expression on his face as he does. Only, it felt good for him. George could feel a release of tension tingle throughout his body. He knows it was wrong of him to do that, but Blaine has been disobedient for too long. Maybe now, this will teach Blaine a lesson. After all, what does The Bible say, "Spare the rod, spoil the child" Pam has spoiled that boy, but now he is taking charge. But she can't know about, he knows she would overreact, like she did when he screwed his secretary. The bitch meant nothing to her, because he still loved his wife, but his house was in such utter ciaos, that he needed some other outlet of release, and Pam wasn't giving it to him
Blaine looks up at his father in disbelief. Did his father…just slapped him? His face ached in pain, he fell to the ground, and the tears that he was trying to hide from his father, were spilling down his face. His feelings of disbelief turn into ones of horror. His father never hit him before. Yelled at him, sure. Called him derogatory names, of course, but never physically harmed him! He looks on to see his father in a small trance, maybe he was shocked too?
George leaves the trance he was in, returning to the present, his son crying holding his face. He internally groans in annoyance, can this kid be anymore weak? He didn't even hit him that hard. He lowers himself to the floor, meeting Blaine at eye level.
"Don't ever mention this to your mother." He icily replies. That's it? No apology? No remorse. Blaine is shocked at his father's new behavior, it's like a different person has just entered his father's body, a person he doesn't want to meet again. "Are we clear, Blaine?" His father continues. Blaine slowly nods, afraid of what this stranger who looks like his father is going to do next. George rises back up, his eyes locked on Blaine. George turns to walk out the door, but before he leaves his son's room he warns him one last time, "Don't provoke me like this again." He leaves and starts to walk down the stairs.
Blaine waits and listens as the footsteps lower in volume, waiting until his father is completely downstairs before he allows himself to lose himself in tears. He slowly gets up off the floor and onto his bed, curving into himself like a ball. How could his father do this to him, does he really hate him that much? He cries for a few minutes, needing comfort, someone to talk to. He hasn't felt this bad until his break up with Kurt. Kurt! Suddenly, Blaine gets an idea. He quickly wipes the tears of his face and goes over to his desk. He grabs his phone off of it and starts punching in Kurt's cell phone number. But before he presses the call button, it hits his gut hard as he remembers. Kurt won't want to talk to him. Sure, they were on speaking terms, but, he knows his ex would be displeased and uncomfortable with his calling, he wouldn't want to comfort him. Kurt wouldn't want anything to do with him, and who would blame him? He just wishes things would be better, that he would be at NYADA, with Kurt, where he felt safe, happy…and loved.
Blaine sets his phone down and goes back to his iTunes' program on his laptop and absentmindedly clicks on a song, hoping it would bring him out of his funk and possibly give him a song to perform in glee tomorrow.
The music begins to play through the speakers. A melancholy tone with slow drum beats and a piano playing, giving it a classic soul and ballroom like feel. It washes over Blaine, this is the song. She has never disappointed to cheer him up and get him to sing out loud. Everyone in glee may think that he is a hardcore Katy Perry fan, and he is. But he has loved this singer longer. He lets her signature husky soulful voice relax him. The familiar lyrics begin to be spoken….
All the men come in these places…
End of chapter one. Please review and stay tuned, this is only the beginning. Only a taste of the horrors to come in the Anderson household...
