..I know you get me so I let me walls come down..
"Prejudice is just ignorance, Kurt."
He sighed in contentment as he placed his books back in his locker when Mr. Schuester called him from behind. As he entered the principal's office, he felt his stomach turn inside out when he saw the looks on everyone's faces, including his father's. His knees felt like giving in any minute; the last ounces of courage draining out of him as he only caught a few words from the multitude that they said: decision. overturned. returning. karofsky. Tomorrow.
After a few words from his dad and stepmom, he made the the toughest yet wisest decision as he spoke in front of his friends – turning down a sectionals solo performance - but then he can't do it anymore. The fear was paralyzing and he knew he was running out of time before the monster returns.
He walks away, and without any second thoughts he calls Blaine, the one person he knows could understand what he's going through, because he's been through it too. He who knows how it is to be terrorized, assaulted, insulted, and even beaten up for being who he is. He who, despite all the trauma, still turned out to be a strong, wonderful person that Kurt happened to stop that day on the Dalton staircase.
"Hey Kurt, what's up?"
"I'm transferring to Dalton," Kurt rushed through the words, his voice breaking from anxiety and fear.
"Hey.. what happened?"
"Karofsky's returning to school tomorrow. I.. I can't.."
"Ssshhh, I know what you mean." Blaine interrupted. On a city 2 hours away from Lima, Blaine knew what Kurt was feeling, and knew the right words to say. He spent the next hour trying to calm Kurt down, sometimes through a song, sometimes a hum, but most importantly through silence. He listened to Kurt every breath, every sniff and every gasp as they said their goodbyes and agreed to meet at the gates in the morning.
He knew he had a job to do. After Sadie Hawkins, he vowed to himself that he would never let that happen to another person, and now here he is – physically tormented, emotionally tortured yet hauntingly beautiful. Blaine no longer felt it a responsibility. He just knew he wanted to protect and help Kurt through all this.
