Kurt and Blaine had grown up being neighbor and best friends. They had stayed side-by-side in elementary school and middle school despite what others thought of them. As they got older, they realized how much their reputations meant in high school and parted ways. What happens when they both join the Glee Club and find themselves falling harder than before?

CHAPTER 1

Kurt walked down the halls of McKinley, finding himself more of an outcast than he already was in elementary and middle school. He opened his locker and looked around to see everyone else's, filled with pictures of friends and family, while his was blank and sort of sad. Books stacked upon books were all to be found inside. Somehow he managed, all throughout high school, to have not one friend. He wanted his high school career to be full of friends and fun activities, but ever since he came out in the beginning of school, everything he had was gone. His only friend had left to be just another jock that didn't care for anybody but himself and Kurt found himself lonelier than ever.

Now it was Kurt's senior year, he hadn't had a friend in sight since he was a child. Sometimes, it felt good not to have the drama of other people on his shoulders, but he could admit it sucked to not have someone to talk to himself. He's only had one thing to complain to: his journal. It was given to him by his mom when he was just a boy and never really knew when to use it. It was a strange shade of red that gave it a rustic feel to it. Its thick pages drowned in the pain he had felt the past four years.

Kurt was pushed from his thoughts when a jock had pushed him face first into the open locker. Kurt rolled his eyes and grabbed the rest of his books before slamming his locker door shut.

Every class was like a blur to Kurt. He refused to pay attention to whatever the teachers were talking about and stayed focus on the fact that Glee Club auditions were right after school. Being the school outcast had been exhilarating and all, but he was sick of having to live in school in fear that the bullying might go too far one day. He wanted friends and he wanted a place to be accepted.

His teacher was saying something about imaginary numbers and functions when the last bell of the day rang. "Okay, class. We will continue the lesson tomorrow. Have a wonderful weekend!" he said, a little too cheerily.

Kurt nearly ran out of the classroom and to his locker. He packed up all of his stuff in a hurry and headed straight towards to boy's bathroom. He walked into the first stall that he saw open and quickly took out his journal. He didn't know why but whenever he wrote inside of the journal, he felt like he had a gateway to his mother. It was more like a one-way gate, but he just needed somebody to listen. He didn't care if it was a dog or a close family member.

Dear Journal,

Finally! Glee Club auditions! I'm going to get friends! Me. Kurt Elizabeth Hummel is going to have friends. I haven't had friends in years! Oh god. I hope they like me. I hope they'd want to be my friend. Creepy old fag Hummel whose best friend is a book. Maybe they won't care though! I hope not. I hope, I hope, I hope. Hope is good. It gives a feeling of... hope? No. It makes you feel like you have a chance. It makes you feel like you're good enough for that chance and if anybody says otherwise, well then, you prove them wrong. Well, I have to go. I might be late for auditions.

Kurt Elizabeth Hummel xoxox

Kurt packed up his stuff and walked out of the stall and froze. Blaine Anderson. The Blaine Anderson was standing right in front of him, none the less terrified than Kurt was. They had only seen each other passing through the halls and tried to avoid each other at all cost. They hadn't really spoken in years though.

"Um, hi." Kurt was surprised to hear how quiet and sad his own voice was.

"Hello." Blaine's voice had grown deep and manly. If it wasn't so shy and frightened, Kurt would've said it was sexy. Blaine's hair was gelled back to hide the curls Kurt once found cute as a child. Kurt had to admit, age did go to him. Instead of the silly, childish looking boy he once knew, Blaine was now a mature, good-looking athlete. Kurt pushed the thoughts out of his mind and pushed past Blaine and out of the bathroom.

Blaine was sure that Kurt was either terrified of him or just shy. Yeah, he knew that he basically abandoned Kurt when Kurt was about to come out to his father, which he never ended up doing because he needed Blaine there for moral support. Blaine was sure he was going to stick by Kurt's side forever, until a jock had told him he had a nice arm. He let it get to his head and joined the football team. Blaine couldn't say he regretted any of that. He actually thought it made him a better person sometimes. Friends and popularity were all you could ever hope for in high school and Blaine wasn't going to let that go so easily.

The only reason Blaine would even think about joining the Glee Club was because he thought about what friendship really was and he realized that Kurt had nothing of the sort. He wasn't ready to be best friends again and destroy his entire reputation over one person's feelings but he decided to give it a try. If it didn't work out then he wouldn't mind quitting Glee and still having the popularity. He also wasn't sure he wanted this to be a long term thing, but just enough to get Kurt's trust again. Seeing Kurt in the bathroom was like reliving the past, and Blaine didn't hate. He was positive Kurt did, though. Truthfully, he sort of missed hearing the high pitched voice that once was his best friend.

When Kurt saw Blaine at Glee auditions, that was when Blaine became sure that Kurt was angry, not scared. Kurt hated Blaine for what he did to him and Blaine wasn't the only one who noticed that his best friend was a journal. It just didn't seem right; there was something wrong with the kid, but it drew Blaine closer and closer, until his curiosity took over and the next thing he knew he was signing his name for an audition, just to get a better look at what seemed to be a normal person on the outside.

Blaine looked at his image in the mirror. He had to admit, he looked sad. His hazel eyes clouded with a sort of pain that was undetermined; even when he smiled Blaine's sad eyes took attention away from the happy features. Blaine splashed his face with water and looked at himself one last time. He lifted his chin up slightly and walked out of the bathroom and to the auditorium.

Kurt had totally forgotten about the Glee Club audition. Luckily, he wasn't late, as far as he could tell, because when he got to the auditorium there was only ten students there: Artie Abrahams, Rachel Berry, Mercedes Jones, Santana Lopez, Brittany S. Peirce, Sam Evans and Finn Hudson. It was a weird group of people, but for some reason, all of them together gave him some sort of feeling of belonging. That was until a certain Blaine Anderson walked into the room and made him feel like he was going to puke.

"Okay! I know you are all here for different reasons, and I know almost nothing about all of you. What I do know is that you all have a passion for music." It was Mr. Schuester who was the first one to speak out of the whole group. Everyone knew Mr. Schue as the strict history teacher that everybody hated; now he seemed more mellow and willing to cooperate with every student that had showed up. Kurt couldn't keep his eyes off Blaine, only because Kurt just wanted to walk over to him and scream at him for leaving Kurt like that, with nothing: no friends, no family, nothing. Before he knew it, Mr. Schue left the students to themselves so he could talk to the big-nosed girl, something about getting to be the lead singer because apparently her voice is too 'one in a million' to be quieted by a others.

All of the students had sang and/or danced, and Kurt hated to admit it, but they were all fantastic, including Blaine. Kurt had some real competition if he ever wanted a solo; that was for sure. He didn't exactly understand why they all had to audition if they were all getting in anyway, but he figured it would be best not to ask. Now that the audition was off his chest, all he had to do was get out of the school without catching the attention of Blaine.

"Um, Kurt. Can we talk?"
