Disclaimer: I do not own Glee. Those who are a fan of my other stories, they aren't abandoned, i'm working on them, I'm just working on a lot of things at once. After I got out of the hospital post surgery, I had about 500 different ideas running threw my head that wouldn't shit up until I wrote them down so I'm been working on my other stories and a couple new ones.

Kurt Hummel was miserable.

He honestly wished he could understand why nothing in his life could ever go right for him, what was it about him that made people want to hurt him so much? What was it about him that made him so undesirable and unwanted? His own family didn't even want him. Perhaps Rachel was right...no one did care about him. He was just the freaky ugly gay boy after all. First Karofsky and his repressed gay-emotions that he'd taken out on Kurt going as far as to sexually assault him, stalk him, harass and bully him and eventually to threaten to Kill him. Leaving McKinley had been difficult, but when Kurt really thought about it...he decided it might not be too bad, he wasn't appreciated at all in the New Directions, he didn't quite fit in with them. How was it fair that Kurt was the only person in the club who had to sing a DUET alone? Because apparently singing a song with him would get Sam killed, Finn practically called him a rapist to keep Kurt away from Sam, so much for not being homophobic anymore huh? Then for his own father to agree? His dad never even MET Sam, for all he knew Sam could have been interested in him, but to be perfectly honest all Kurt had wanted from Sam was friendship, just a friendship with a boy who might get to know him before he let everyone else opinions of the 'gay kid' affected his judgment. No one seemed to understand that as much as Kurt loved his 'girls'? He was still a GUY, he wanted GUY friends who didn't treat him differently just because he was gay, guy friends who didn't flinch if Kurt accidently got to close. But nothing in Kurt's life ever seemed to go according to plan did it? Nothing ever went the way he hoped or expected.

At the moment Kurt was sitting on the floor in his kitchen with his knee's drawn up to his chest crying his heart out. Today was his 17th birthday, and his entire family forgot. He'd come home after his two hour drive from Dalton all excitement and smiles, as bad as the last few week's had been he was so looking forward to celebrating his birthday with his family. So when he walked into the house yelling "I'm Home! The birthday boy is here!and dont even try to get out of watching the Sound of Music this year Dad it's a tradition!" and no one answered he'd been confused, then he thought maybe they had planned a surprise party! So he ran around the house checking each room, and with each empty room his heart sank more and more. He finally made his way to the kitchen and saw a note on the counter.

"Kurt-

We decided to take Finn to see a Football game this weekend in Cincinnati we aren't going to be home till Sunday night, I left some money for pizza in the cookie jar. You're old enough to spend a weekend alone and not have any wild parties, so I expect the house to be in perfect condition when I get home. I'm also trusting you to not do anything inappropriate in this house Kurt, so that means no boys over, dont forget our talk.

See you Sunday

- Dad"

This was honestly the last straw. The nail in the coffin. He was done. Everything with Blaine had been bad enough, his supposed friend betraying him had completely broken his heart, but for his own family to forget his birthday?

The last few weeks had honestly been some of the worst weeks of his life. First there was the dreaded Gap-Attack, at least he could take comfort in the fact he wasn't the only person who though Blaine was going to sing to him. After announcing his new found love for 'Jeremiah' Kurt had frozen for a moment before his heart simply broke. He noticed half the room immediately shoot looks at him and he knew all of them were as surprised as he was, when Blaine had asked him about serenading someone for Valentines Day, he'd been stupid enough to let himself hope. Watching Blaine smile at him over their shared cupid cookie he'd felt butterfly's in his stomach and realized it was finally happening, Blaine was going to serenade him for Valentines Day! Once they got back to Dalton Kurt had excitedly run to his dorm, surprising his roommate Nick with his excitement.

When Nick asked him what was going on he told him everything that Blaine said and how he wanted to make Blaine the perfect gift for Valentines Day telling him exactly how he felt for him, Nick had smiled widely and congratulated Kurt saying he and Jeff KNEW Blaine had liked him considering how much he flirted with Kurt and it was about time they got together. Kurt has spent the next week slaving over a handmade card decorated with a bunch of small crystals he'd sat and applied one by one with tweezers, the inside of the card held a love letter telling Blaine that he felt the same and how happy he was. Both Nick and Jeff had teased him daily about the amount of time he spent on his gift saying Kurt was a perfectionist and he could probably just lay one on Blaine and the boy would be happy. Kurt had giggled and blushed but showed them all the hard work he'd done on the card. So when Blaine announced to the Warblers he wanted to sing at the Gap because that's were the guy he was in love with worked...Kurt was crushed. He didn't even bother looking up into his two friends face's, he didn't want to see the pity. How stupid was he? Of course Blaine didn't like him back. He just sang flirty duets with him, flirted constantly and went out of his way to touch Kurt, hold his hand, and hug him all the time. He just took Kurt on coffee dates every other day. Was it really all in his head or was Blaine just that oblivious to what he was doing?

He'd snuck out of the meeting while everyone surrounded Blaine to ask about 'Jeremiah' and how they met. Mind you considering Kurt was supposed to be Blaine best friend he found it amazing Blaine had NEVER mentioned Jeremiah to him ONCE. He waited until he made it to his dorm to let the tears come, walking over to his desk and grabbing the card he'd spent hours on and threw it into the trash bin before stripping out of his clothes and pulling on some pajamas, he crawled into bed, pulled the covers over his head and cried, no...not cried, SOBBED. He didn't hear when the door open or the two voices whispering, he hadn't even realized Nick and Jeff were in the room until they crawled into his bed on either side of him and put their arms around him. The next day they convinced Kurt to get away from Dalton for the weekend and spend some time in Lima with his New Directions friends and take some time away from Blaine. Kurt had agreed and packed a bag, thanking boy boys for being there for him before he got in his car and took off.

A few hours later Blaine came knocking on their door asking were Kurt was and Nick barely refrained from scoffing and asking why he even cared before telling him Kurt had gone home for the weekend. It took everything inside him not to walk over to Blaine and slap him when Blaine pouted about needing Kurt to help him plan the Gap Attack and he cant believe Kurt would just take off without telling him when he really needed his advice. Nick just stared at Blaine disbelievingly and said "You seriously dont get it do you? You know what Blaine? Kurt is going through some stuff right now and needed to spend some time with his friends, not everything in Kurt's life revolves around you and it's not fair to him that you expect him to always be there at your beck and call!" he yelled before shoving Blaine from the room and slamming the door in his face. Later on Jeff would come over and tell Nick that Blaine had told everyone in the warblers that Nick had yelled at him for no reason and he was obviously jealous of his friendship with Kurt and the fact he gets the solo's instead of him. Nick couldn't even find it in him to care what Blaine thought or said anymore. Looking around the room he spotted the card he'd watched Kurt work so hard on in the trash can, a few tear stains over the front and he smoothed it out before putting it away in one of his desk drawers. He was sure at some point it'd be good ammo for when Blaine got his head out of his ass and realized how much he messed up with Kurt.

Kurt text him all weekend letting him know how he was doing. Apparently he'd had a girl's night with two of his friends, Rachel and Mercedes. He told them everything about Blaine how Blaine had acted with him and about the card he'd spent so much time on, how stupid he felt when he found out Blaine said it was all for some Gap store manager he'd never even MENTIONED to Kurt. As much as Nick had hoped his weekend away would help Kurt, the boy had come back just as sullen and depressed. But he'd sucked it up and watched painfully as Blaine serenaded an honestly homeless looking boy with bad hair in the middle of his work place using a completely inappropriate song about sex toys. No one seemed to notice when Kurt ran out in tears before the ending, no one noticed Nick and Jeff run after him. Once they'd calmed him down enough he'd walked back and comforted an upset Blaine who had been turned down immediately, but not after he got the boy fired. Kurt sat next to Blaine on the ride back to Dalton and stared out the window sadly not even listening as Blaine ranted about how he couldn't believe he'd made all of it up in his head because he really thought Jeremiah had liked him, and sure they'd only gone out for coffee a few times but he'd thought they'd had a connection. It wasn't until the next day when they went out for coffee that Blaine even realized Kurt had barely talked or looked at him for a few days, he'd been so wrapped up in himself he hadn't noticed the bags under Kurt's eyes or how genuinely sad he seemed to look all the time.

So when Blaine asked him Kurt had admitted how he'd thought Blaine was going to sing to him on Valentine's Day. He admitted he'd had a crush on Blaine for a while now and that he thought Blaine liked him back considering the way Blaine acted with him. Blaine had responded by telling Kurt that he did have some feelings for Kurt that went beyond friendship but after what had just happened he wasn't ready for a relationship...yet. While Kurt was still dealing with residual feeling's of hurt and sadness, Blaine's assurances that there were feelings there and he would just have to wait a bit for him to figure everything out gave him hope.

He clung to that hope desperately until Rachel-Freaking-Berry's train-wreck extravaganza, also known as the day his bitch of a 'friend' who was fully aware of his feelings for Blaine decided to make out with him right in front of his face during a drunken game of spin the bottle and THEN ask him out on a date a few days later. While Kurt regretted some of his harsh words he'd said and certainly didn't mean about bisexuals, he really couldn't help but lash out due to his own hurt. Blaine had told Kurt he had feelings for him only a week before! He had said he just needed time and wasn't ready to date! So apparently that meant he just wasn't ready to date KURT, but he was totally ready to go out with one of Kurt's FEMALE friends who he's had so many issues with in the past? Regardless of how his supposed 'best friend' might feel about it? Suddenly he wasn't sure of anything because he got wasted at a party and made out with a girl? THEN to top it off Blaine compared him to Karofsky, you know the boy who stalked, harassed, sexually assaulted and threatened his life? All because Kurt wasn't being 'supportive'...Kurt who he knew had feelings for him and who he had apparently given completely false hope, Kurt who despite those feelings helped him serenade another boy, Kurt who then spent days after listening to him whine and complain about some closeted guy who he only had coffee with TWICE and couldn't understand how he didn't return his feelings even though he was dealing with a broken heart.

He tried, honestly tried to talk to Rachel, and figure out what the hell was going on in her head. Not only was she completely dismissive of his feelings as if they were a nonexistent issue, she mocked him, acted like she was doing nothing wrong by purposely chasing after Blaine who was GAY, who she knew Kurt her supposed 'friend' was in love with, who Kurt had TOLD about Blaine's whole 'I have feelings for you but I'm not ready to date' thing. Did she care? of course not. She's Rachel Berry, and no one matter's but her. Kurt had been SO sure this was the ONE thing she wouldn't be able to mess up for him, this wasn't like Finn...Blaine was gay, so HE came before Rachel because he was a boy...but nope, Rachel apparently still comes before him. She still get's whatever she wants. The solo's, the guys, everything. She doesn't care who she hurts. Not even a week ago she was going on about being madly in love with Finn who was her "soul-mate" before she decided that until they could be together again she would be a 'proud single female' focusing on her singing and future career. NOPE. Sorry, Kurt might be happy so I've gotta go mess that up!

The day that he went with Rachel to the Lima Bean were she was determined to kiss Blaine sober and prove *cough*(rub in his face)*cough* that he is 'bi' and wants HER not Kurt. Despite how angry he was at her, he'd tried to talk her out of it, despite how bad of a friend she was being to him, he didn't want her to get her heart broken. But of course then she had to throw in the "who cares about you buddy? I might get a boyfriend out of this!" and he was done. He didn't care how her kiss with Blaine went, their friendship was officially over and beyond repair the minute those words came out of her mouth. He was tired of having people in his life who just DIDN'T CARE about him or his feelings. It seemed like he had fewer and fewer people in his life who legitimately cared about him and his well being. So Rachel ended up kissing Blaine again in front of him, and surprise surprise he turned out 100% Gay...shocker *cue eye roll*. Instead of being upset Rachel simply smiled and babbled about how this may help her song writing proving to Kurt she actually didn't have any feelings for Blaine, it was really just about her winning. Her taking something from Kurt. Again. Because he wasn't allowed to have anything in his life she didn't try to steal or mess up for him. Kurt had waited for Blaine to come back out of the bathroom were he ran after kissing Rachel and when he came back he, Kurt apologized for what he said about bisexuality and assured him he genuinely didn't mean it at all, one of his best friends (Brittany) was bisexual and he loved her to pieces, she was his boo and he was her dolphin. If Kurt was straight he'd be with Brittany in a heartbeat. Blaine however, simply accepted his apology and carried on like nothing happened. Like he didn't say anything hurtful or completely terrible to Kurt, like he didn't compare him to KAROFSKY.

Kurt spent that night in his dorm room with Nick just...crying. He was just so TIRED of having his feelings not MATTER to people who claimed to care about him. Nick rocked him back and forth, once again FURIOUS and mentally cursing Blaine the oblivious hobbit who was turning out to be a real asshole, he apparently just couldn't help but constantly hurt and belittle Kurt's feelings. When he'd heard about the Rachel thing...he'd honestly been beyond stunned. This girl who was supposed to be his friend and knew all about Kurt's feelings for Blaine, and Blaine who had JUST told Kurt that he returned his feelings and simply needed time...seriously? When he found out Blaine had compared Kurt to Karofsky Nick nearly LOST it. He was one of the few who Kurt had reluctantly confided in, after the nightmares and screaming he'd felt like Nick had a right to know what was causing Kurt to wake him up in the middle of the night. It had helped the both of them however, now Kurt had someone to wake him up when he had nightmares and who understood, he had someone who could remind him to take his anxiety medication everyday.

As of right now, Nick and Jeff were the only people at Dalton who were aware he even TOOK anxiety medication. Kurt had admitted after his mom died he'd developed an anxiety disorder that had only gotten worse after his dad's heart attack paired with his bullying and constant fear of going to school and what might happen to him. So now he had to take medication to keep his anxiety level's down so he wouldn't have any accidental panic attacks if someone caught him off guard. Other than Nick and Jeff, the only New Directions that knew were Finn and Puck. Finn because he'd lived with Kurt and unfortunately found out after he set off a panic attack unintentionally and Kurt's dad had to explain what happened while Carol helped calm Kurt down and get him to take his medication, Puck only knew because he'd also been present for one. He'd come over to hang out with Finn and when he found out Kurt could tell he was overwhelmed with guilt that he'd been a part of something that had caused it. He'd spent the next few days essentially following Kurt around like a puppy, apologizing profusely and trying to do everything for him to make up for being an asshole. Ever since he'd gone out of his way to be a good friend to Kurt.

Kurt hadn't told Blaine mostly because he was embarrassed He looked up to him and considered him this symbol of strength, he'd been a life line to Kurt after Karofsky's face rape and he thought that telling Blaine he had a problem with it would make him seem weak and pathetic, maybe even effect Blaine possibly considering dating him. Kurt didn't want Blaine to think he was 'damaged'. Personally Nick wished Kurt WOULD tell Blaine just so he'd realize what an epic asshole he was comparing Kurt to his biggest bully who stared in the majority of his worst nightmares. Nick was honestly close to his breaking point with the Blaine thing, Kurt had become one of his absolute best friends and he was tired of seeing Blaine lead him on and break his heart over and over again, he stayed close enough to Kurt to keep other people who might be interested away from him because they assumed they were together, while at the same time constantly rejecting Kurt's feelings or pretending he was oblivious. Honestly...Nick was starting to think Blaine wasn't as oblivious as he pretended to be, he really couldn't see how anyone could just NOT noticed that Kurt was goo goo ga ga in love with him. Or how recently Kurt's self esteem seemed to be breaking down, he had bags under his eyes and just always looked SAD. That fierce Kurt Hummel spark was missing from his eyes.

But Kurt had tried to stay positive, this weekend he was heading home for his birthday. He would forget about Blaine and all the drama and pain he'd caused and get to spend some time with people who actually CARED about him. Kurt tried his best to ignore the fact that Blaine had obviously forgotten his birthday, the only people who remembered had been of course Nick and Jeff...but a few surprising additions had been Brittany, Santana and oddly enough Puck. None of his other supposed "Friends" had remembered, sure that hurt...but nothing could possibly hurt more than his own father...his own flesh and blood forgetting the day he was born. That little voice in the back of Kurt's head that constantly told him he wasn't enough, he wasn't loved or wanted popped right back up to whisper ' Why would he think about you now that he has a son he can really be proud of?' as much as he wanted to firmly shut that voice up saying it wasn't true...he couldn't. Why? Because he honestly believed it at this point. It didn't matter how hard he tried, how many A's he got in school, how many awards he had won not just for academics but for singing and dancing or cheer-leading...it didn't matter how many times he preformed on stage, he would never be straight, he would never be the quarterback or homecoming King, he'd never be like Finn. For the first time in years Kurt thought about the box he had stuffed in his closet full of pictures and certificates and trophy's for singing, dancing and cheer-leading. Thing's that should have been up around the house along with Finn's football trophies. The only 'certificate' that was proudly displayed was his mechanics certifications...and hell if that didn't sting. He needed to accept he would never be the son his dad wanted, perhaps he'd even been secretly happy Kurt was off living at Dalton now, that way he could have his perfect little family with Finn and Carole and just pretend his fag son didn't exist.

Kurt walked upstairs into his bedroom and sat on the bed taking a picture off his nightstand to run his fingers over it. It was a picture of his mother holding him when he was about five years old, both of them were grinning from ear to ear with tiara's on their heads having just had a pretend tea party. More than ever he missed his mom right now, his mom who had always understood him, who had told him he was special and perfect exactly how he was. Who when he said he wanted a prince instead of a princess had simply smiled and told him there was nothing wrong with that and one day he'd find his perfect prince charming and live happily ever after. He knew she'd known he was gay long before he even knew what the word meant, and most importantly? She had no issues with it at all. He remembered how they'd put on pretend plays and how they'd sing songs together and dance around the house dressed up always laughing and smiling. After she died...it was as if that happy smile he always had died with her. It was his mom who had started the sound of music tradition, each year on his birthday they'd cuddle up together on the couch and watch the sound of music singing along to all the songs. He'd kept up the tradition every year, it was a way to feel as if his mother was there in spirit celebrating with him.

He set the picture aside and moved to his closet to pull out his suitcases, his eyes lingering on his hidden 'box of achievements' for a moment before deciding to yank that out too. He reached under the bed and pulled out a storage bin he had filled of memento's of his mother and a small safe, he unlocked the safe and pulled out his passport and papers including his birth certificate and social security card. He spent the next two hours carefully wrapping and packing each item for safe traveling so nothing would get damaged and taking all the left behind clothes from his move to Dalton and filled his suitcases before carrying each one down to his car and tucking them into the back seat. Walking back into the house he sat down at the dining room table with a couple blank pages of paper and a pen as he set to writing letters to everyone. First up was his Dad.

Dad,

First off, I'm sorry I couldn't be the son you wanted, I really did try my hardest to make you proud of me. I'll never be like Finn dad, I wish I could but I cant and I really would have given anything just so I could be less of a disappointment as a son. I'm going away for a while, please dont worry about me, I promise I'll be safe. I just cant be here anymore. More than anything I really just want you to be happy dad, and I've finally accepted that you cant do that with me around. I love you more than you will ever know. Please take care of yourself, eat healthy, dont work too hard and make sure to get some excersize in so you can live a long and happy life. When I get to where I'm going I promise to send word and let you know I'm safe and sound so you dont have to worry. Please dont blame yourself for any of this, I love you dad. Please make sure the New Directions gets their letters.

Love always,
Kurt

He wrote a letter to Carole and Finn asking them to take care of his dad for him, he thanked Carole for being such an amazing step mom and good wife to his dad, he told her to please use the money they will be saving on Dalton to go on their honeymoon. He wrote a letter to Mr. Shue and the New Directions, he called out Rachel on all her bullshit, her selfish manipulations, her ego and self centered insanity and the way she played on the insecurities of other to insure she was always in the spotlight, he made a point to mention the reason he BLEW THE HIGH F in Defying Gravity, he mentioned what she did with Blaine, what she'd said about no one caring about him, he called out Mr. Shue and his blatant favoritism and single mindedness and how eventually it would be the end of the New Directions because every single member was needed and if any of them decided they couldn't take any more of the 'Rachel and Finn' show the club would be over. He encouraged the other members to not let their voices be silenced by Rachel's massive ego, he warned Mercedes about not letting herself turn into another Rachel and give all of the girls an opportunity to shine. He told them about Finn and everything he'd said to keep him away from Sam along with apologizing to Sam for backing out of their duet. He told them about what really happened with Karofsky and everything that had happened since including all his letdown's with Blaine, specifically the one Rachel had been involved in. He left behind a notebook full of ideas for the club and a stack of CD's, each CD held a bunch of songs Kurt had compiled suited to the voice of every single ND member and inside the notebook was a list of group number's highlighting all the different voices they had. He'd been working on it all since he first joined the club, he'd never bothered to show anyone any of it because quite frankly, everyone had made it extremely clear his ideas and opinions didn't matter.

He wrote separate letter for Brittany explaining why he was leaving in a way he knew she would understand and told her that he would call her soon and told her he would always be her dolphin and she would always be his boo and he loved her forever, he told her to talk to Santana about everything that happened when they were alone. He wrote a letter to Santana, they actually had a fairly strong friendship, it was just kept under wraps, her and Brittany had become two of his best friends when they were in the cheerio's during the trip where they won nationals, in public however he and Santana had kept up their previous relationship, limiting their interaction to texts and once he transferred to Dalton Skype. They'd bonded over their mutual adoration for Brittany and fierce protectiveness of her, not to mention Kurt was probably the only person Santana talked to about her feelings for Brittany freely without fear of being judged, he probably understood Santana better than anyone. He knew that it would probably come to a shock to the others that Kurt would leave a personal letter for Santana, sure Brittany they would understand but he knew a couple of them, Mercedes especially were likely to pitch a fit...even though she'd completely ignored him since Valentine's day, forgot his birthday and apparently had this new Diva mentality. Mercedes had this idea in her head that she somehow owned Kurt, more often than not she treated him like an object as opposed to a person and disliked him making other friends. Her tantrum when he met Blaine had really opened his eyes to a part of her personality he hadn't noticed before, Santana was of the opinion she'd never gotten over her crush on Kurt so she was jealous of the idea of anyone else getting him and mentioned to Kurt that when he'd 'fake dated' Brittany apparently Mercedes had been LIVID that he'd dated Brittany instead of HER, something he hadn't been aware of. But all in all, he knew Santana could more than handle any negative reactions and jealousy from anyone in the club no matter who they were.

He also wrote a letter to Puck, or well...Noah as only he was allowed to call him. Where Finn's support and protection had been conditional despite the fact they were now family, Noah had honestly turned things around. It was Noah who called him once a week to make sure the warblers were treating him right offering to beat up anyone who didn't. It was Noah who asked if he wanted to hang out with him and Finn or occasionally just him alone, it was Noah who had remembered his birthday. As a matter of fact the 'Happy Birthday' call he'd gotten from Noah had come in at exactly 12:00am, while at the time his half asleep self had been pissed at being woken up, the fact that he'd stayed up to call him right at midnight and officially his birthday meant a lot to him. It showed that the call hadn't been an afterthought but a genuinely thought out 'I want to call Kurt on his birthday' moment. Sure he still had his 'Puck' moments were his teasing border-lined offensive but all in all he'd really changed. He'd apologized for all his past treatment of Kurt, and Kurt had honestly forgiven him.

He planned on talking to Nick and Jeff personally when he went to Dalton to pack his things, he'd most likely ask Nick to drive him to the airport and simply leave his car key's with him, of all people he wanted to make sure Nick knew exactly where he was going and had a way to get a hold of him. In all honesty Nick was more of a best friend than Blaine was to him, so was Jeff for that matter. He knew that once he was gone Nick would likely go off on Blaine like he'd wanted to for the past few months, and surprisingly Kurt couldn't find it in himself to care anymore. He'd finally reached that point emotionally where he just didn't have it in him to care. Blaine on the other hand, he was leaving with nothing, the only information he was getting was going to come from his letter to the Warblers. At this point he wondered if Blaine would even be upset he was gone. He knew Nick and Jeff would both be sad if not hurt he was leaving but at the end of the day they would understand why.

Once he finished his letter's he sealed each in an envelope and wrote the person or people they were intended too, he locked up the house and got into his car setting the envelope he was taking with him to Dalton on the passenger seat and pulled out of the driveway heading towards his school and pulled out his phone to call his Grandmere. When his mother died he'd received an offer from his grandmother, his mother's mother to come live with her in Europe. He'd declined wanting to stay with his last living parent however she'd told him if he ever changed his mind he was more than welcome. He took a deep breath before pressing 'call', it rang twice before he heard a feminine voice on the other end answer

"Bonjour?" (Hello?)

"Grand-mère, c'est Kurt ... Est-ce votre offre de venir vivre avec vous encore ouvert? Je ne peux pas être dans l'Ohio en ce moment et ont besoin de vous évader pour un moment." (Grandmother its Kurt ... Is your offer to come live with you still open? I cant be in Ohio at the moment and need to get away for a while.)

"Kurt! Oh I was just about to call you! Happy Birthday darling! Of course you can come stay with me, you are welcome any time, are you alright? Do you want me to make the flight arrangements?"

"Thank you Grand-mère...and well..not exactly but I will be, I just need to get away from here, dont worry about the flight arrangements, I'll make those myself I need to do a few things first, I'll call you again before I leave"

"Alright sweetheart I'll be waiting, whatever it is we'll deal with it once your here. I cant wait to see you, I'll make sure your room is ready for your arrival. I love you darling"

"I love you too, and thank you for everything"

"You're welcome, see you soon"

"Bye"

Hanging up the phone Kurt sighed heavily, at least one family member remembered his birthday. When he got to Dalton he noticed Blaine's car was gone meaning he wouldn't have to try and avoid him, as far as he was aware the only warblers home this weekend were Nick, Jeff and Thad. He moved to his room quickly with a bag in hand and text Jeff to meet him there on the way. Opening the door he found a surprised Nick listening to music, Nick pulled his headphone's out of his ears and stood up confused.

"Kurt? what are you doing here I thought you were spending this weekend at home for your birthday?" He asked

"Well I was but I got home to an empty house, my family forgot my birthday and decided to take Finn to a football game in Cincinnati this weekend." Kurt said in a dull voice and watch as Nick's jaw fell open in shock.

"Are you freaking serious?! What the hell is WRONG with them?!" he yelled and Kurt shrugged before sitting on his bed and dropping his bag at his feet. Nick then noticed the large dufflebag Kurt had brought in and when he asked why Kurt had it, Kurt told him he wanted to wait till Jeff got to their room so he could talk to them both together. When Jeff showed up he was equally shocked at Kurt's family forgetting his birthday. He sat them both down and ran a hand over his head before he started softly explaining everything to them, about his grandmother and her offer, about how this was the last straw and he just needed to get away for a while because he just couldn't handle things emotionally anymore. Both Nick and Jeff had stared at him in shock before jumping at him to pull him into a group hug. While they understood and where happy that he was going to get away from the people who just kept hurting him and making him feel badly about himself, they both admitted they would miss him. He told them that as of right now they were the only people he was telling exactly where he was and told them that he would call them once he got settled in and that they could still talk on Skype and maybe even visit him this summer. They asked him if he would come back and Kurt just sighed before saying that he didn't know but he was thinking he'd hopefully be back before his senior year.

They helped Kurt pack up his stuff and Nick offered to ship him everything he couldn't bring with him and he thanked the boy profusely. He asked Jeff and Nick if they would drive his car and him to the airport and then drive it back to the school, they agreed and they all walked threw the school with their heads down before piling into Kurt's car and heading towards the airport. Once they parked and got out of the car the guys helped him carry his bags in and he bought a ticket for the next flight to France. After he checked his bags in, the three friends had a tearful goodbye before he headed through security. An hour later he was flying first class on his way to France, apparently his grandmother had called and paid for an upgraded ticket for him so his flight would be more comfortable. As he settled back to watch the in-flight movie he sipped his cup of Earl Grey and hoped things would be better for him living with his grandmother, he knew during the year she lived at her home in France but during the summer she always traveled the rest of Europe.

After the movie Kurt fell asleep and by the time be was waking up for breakfast he only had two hours to go. He spent the rest of his flight thinking, he would already be in France and probably unpacked by the time his dad got home and read the letters, he'd probably call Kurt and demand he come home and once the New Directions came over to read all of their letter's everyone would probably start freaking out realizing he was serious about leaving and probably already left, he knew that Santana if not Puck would bring up his birthday and his family would then come to the realization that they forgot Kurt's birthday and not only that they also took Finn away for a weekend trip on Kurt's birthday knowing full well he was coming home for the weekend and not even bothering to invite him or tell him they wouldn't be there.

When the plane finally landed, Kurt made his way out, quickly weaving through the mass of people, his carry-on in hand moving straight for the nearest bathroom to wash his face and run a comb threw his hair, muttering to himself about taking a shower as soon as possible. Once he walked out of the bathroom he headed towards the baggage claim to pickup his suit cases. Once he located his bags he opened up his cell phone to call his grandmother, she told him she'd sent a car to pick him up and they should be waiting outside holding up a sign with him name and that she'd have his room ready and a mineral bath waiting for him when he got there and that afterwards they could have lunch. One thing he really loved about his grandmother was that she understood his dedication to skin and body care, she was also a firm believer in dead sea salt baths and their benefits. He spotted the driver immediately and waved at him, the man moved forward to hand him a to-go coffee mug making Kurt grin and then took his suitcases from him and put them in the trunk before moving to open up the car door to let Kurt in. As Kurt settled into the back of the car he sipped his coffee with a happy sigh, this would definitely be a nice change of pace.
