"One hot latte to go, please." Blaine Anderberry reached into his pockets and fished out a 10 dollars bill and passed it to the cashier. He walked over to the other end of the counter to wait for his coffee. As he stood here, he looked around and realised that The Lima Bean had not changed much since he last left. Sure, the furnitures were different. But the Arabica Coffee Beans smell hung in the air, which was so calming to him.
It has been 5 years since Blaine left Lima. No one, except for Rachel and their Daddies, knew why he left. Many speculated that Blaine was finally done with the bullying he had to put up with at Mckinley, while some others thought he left to avoid Kurt. Whatever it was, Blaine created hype for leaving so suddenly without any reason.
No matter what it was, Blaine just shrugged it off. During his first few months of departure, he only cared about his family and Kurt. He emailed Rachel whenever he could to find out how they were doing back at Lima. But most importantly, he wanted to know if Kurt was okay. He did not tell Kurt why he left, and that just made leaving even harder.
For the first few months, Blaine found out that Kurt was thoroughly heartbroken. He never once wrote to Kurt. After a few weeks, Kurt's heartbrokenness turned into anger, and Blaine was pretty sure Kurt simply hated him now.
It wasn't that Blaine didn't want to contact to him. Several times, he would pick up his phone and dial Kurt's number which he knew by heart. Yet he never had the courage to press the call button. Blaine was a bravest teenager anyone knew, but sadly, he became a coward when it came to Kurt.
"Hot Latte to go?" A pretty blonde called up Blaine's order she held up the cup of coffee. Blaine reached forward and took it, muttered thanks and hurried out of the coffee house. He was finally back at Lima, and he had many things to do.
The first thing on his list?
Kurt.
