Intro
Blaine's P.O.V.
As I got dressed for my date with Kurt, I couldn't help but feel distracted. I couldn't wait to see him. Ever since he transferred back to McKinley, we haven't had much time to see each other. I've missed him so much, but I know he missed his friends and moving back was the best choice for him. I had gone to the movies yesterday with David and Wes and happened to run into some people from my old school. It wasn't a pleasant experience. I don't know why I don't like talking about what happened back at Parker High School, I guess I just hate reliving it. Maybe I think that if I don't talk about it, it will just go away or something. I don't know. All I know is I'm out of there and happy at Dalton. Being there with Wes and David two of my best friends in the world, is the second best thing that ever happened to me, right after finding Kurt. Going to Dalton was my idea. My mom wanted me to be happy, and she's always been supportive. I don't like living with my family. I do love them, but since I came out in eighth grade, my dad and I fight a lot. I know it kills my mom, but sometimes I can't stand my father. My sister, Piper, doesn't understand why we don't get along. She was only six when all of this started. Now at nine, she doesn't understand how it's possible that her big brother likes guys like she does. I guess Mom just doesn't know how to tell her, and Dad never will speak about it. I couldn't possibly even imagine how to begin to have that conversation with her.
Once I snapped myself out of my own thoughts, I texted Kurt.
"Hey Babe, I'll meet you at the park in ten. Sound good?"
After a few minutes, my phone buzzed.
"Perfect. I can't wait! I've missed you soo much! I love you!"
"Love you too! Don't worry. It won't be long before we're together! See you soon!"
"Okay. See you soon!(;"
I smiled as I put my phone into my pocket, and practically ran to my car. I hope tonight goes well.
When I pulled into the park, I didn't see Kurt anywhere. I got out and walked around a little bit while waiting for him. Finally, I pulled out my phone.
"Hey Babe, Where are you?"
A few seconds later someone jumped on my back.
"Ahhhhhhh!" I screamed. I heard the person laugh as they got off.
I turned around to face Kurt.
Narrator's P.O.V.
"Geez Kurt! You scared the shit out of me!" Blaine said still trying to catch his breath.
"I'm sorry. It was just too good of an opportunity to pass up!" Kurt said smiling.
"Well, whatever. Hey you." Blaine asked moving in closer to Kurt and smiling.
"Hi." Kurt said smiling.
"I missed you so much." Blaine said moving even closer to Kurt.
Kurt could hardly stand being so close to him like this. Blaine gave him butterflies so badly that his stomach literally hurt. What he didn't know was the Blaine felt the exact same way about him.
"I missed you more." Kurt said.
"I don't think that's possible." Blaine said moving closer still. Their noses were touching now.
"I do." Kurt said smiling.
Blaine just smiled and kissed him. After a minute, Kurt pulled away.
"Is something wrong?" Blaine asked.
"No. I just had kind of a rough day at school."
"Karofsky?" Blaine asked.
Kurt sat down a bench nearby. Blaine sat next to him. In late March, it was still a little cold. They both had on jackets, and Blaine had on a hat.
"I thought he was getting better, but it's starting to go back to the way it was. Finn and the other glee club guys are more protective, but somehow, he still managed to find me alone and shove me against the wall. Just to completely terrify me." He said looking into Blaine's incredibly beautiful brown-green eyes.
He didn't wanna think about this now. He just wanted to enjoy the short amount of time he had with Blaine.
"Yeah, well if it helps, I didn't have the best day yesterday either." Blaine said. Then he realized he would be pushed for questions. He immediately regretted saying that, and hated himself for bringing it up.
"I'm sorry Babe. What happened?"
"Uhh I was with Wes and David and happened to run into some people from Parker."
"Oh. Are you okay? Did they do anything to you?" Kurt asked obviously over concerned.
Blaine smiled at his boyfriend's concern.
"No. I'm fine. My ego's a little bruised, but that's about it." He said laughing a little.
"Oh okay." Kurt said. He didn't think it was funny for anyone to pick on Blaine. He couldn't stand to see him upset.
They sat in silence for a couple of minutes before Kurt spoke up.
"Blaine, will you tell me what happened at Parker?"
God only knows how many times Kurt had tried to get Blaine to confide in him. It never worked.
"Oh Kurt, you don't wanna hear about that! Let's talk about something else. Isn't your birthday coming up?"
"Blaine please. I want you to feel like you can talk to me. Please. It feels like every time I try to get you to open up, you change the subject." Kurt pleaded with him.
"Look, I just don't wanna talk about it. Okay? I don't wanna relive it." Blaine said coldly.
"Blaine." Kurt said. "I didn't mean to upset you. I just want you to know I'm here to talk to."
"WELL, I DON'T WANT TO TALK TO YOU OR ANYONE ELSE! JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" He yelled.
Blaine got up and started walking to his car.
"Blaine." Kurt said running after him. "Blaine wait! Don't leave like this! Come back!"
Blaine turned around to face him.
"I knew I shouldn't have come here. I knew I shouldn't have brought this up. I knew this whole thing would just cause trouble for me. I knew this would happen. And I put myself through it any way." Blaine said as if he was talking to himself. "I also knew it would end like this."
Kurt took a step back. "Blaine, what are you saying?"
"I-I think-I don't think we should see each other anymore Kurt." Blaine said looking down.
Kurt had tears in his eyes. He didn't want to, he couldn't lose Blaine.
"Blaine, Don't do this. I'm sorry! I won't bring it up again. You can talk to me when you're ready. Just please, please don't leave me." Kurt said.
Tears were streaming down Kurt's face. Blaine was also close to tears, but he wouldn't cry. Not here. Not now. Not in front of Kurt.
"I'm sorry Kurt. It-It's over." Blaine said.
Blaine got in his car and drove away. Kurt fell to the ground pulling his knees to his chest and began to cry. As Blaine pulled out of the parking lot, he finally let a tear, just one, fall from his eye.
Kurt's P.O.V.
It had been a couple days after the park incident before I'd actually heard from Blaine again. Having Finn and Dad pick me up on the way home from their fishing trip was the worst idea ever.
*FLASHBACK*
As I sat in the parking lot crying, I saw My dad's car pull in.
"Hi." I said trying to hide my face and the depression in my voice. It didn't work.
"Dude. What happened?" Finn asked while I sat in the back seat.
"Nothing. I'm fine." I lied.
"No you're not! What happened?" Dad asked.
"Did something happen between you and Blaine?" Finn asked.
I began to cry harder at the sound of his name. I couldn't handle this. I didn't say anything no matter how hard they pushed me to tell them. When we finally got home, I went straight up to my room.
"Alright. Kurt, time to confess. What the hell happened back there?" Finn said barging in my door.
"We just had a fight. It's fine." I said.
"No. It's more than that. If you don't tell me what's going on, I swear I'll-"
"WE BROKE UP! THERE ARE YOU HAPPY NOW!" I yelled. "It's over between us. I'm heart broken."
"Where is he now? What's his address? Number? Anything. I'm going to kill him! I told him he better not hurt you! Oh Kurt, I'm so sorry!" Finn said. He was pissed.
"No." I said. "I don't want you to say anything!" It's over! It's not your problem. It's mine. Just let me deal with it."
"Fine. But just know I don't like it, and if I ever see him in public, I can't promise I won't say something to him!"
I rolled my eyes at his "big brother" attitude. Then he left the room. Leaving me to my thoughts, and…tears.
Narrator's P.O.V.
Finn walked back to his room and pulled his phone out of his pocket. He remembered he had Blaine's number and quickly sent him a text.
"What the hell Dude! I thought I told you not to break his heart!"
"Finn, I'm sorry. You don't understand. Tell Kurt I really am sorry about everything I've put him through."
"I don't understand? I understand that my brother is in his room bawling his eyes out because of you. I understand that you were the last little bit of happiness that he had. I understand that Kurt trusted you and you broke his heart. Don't tell me I don't understand."
"I deeply regret all of this. I didn't want this to happen."
"Whatever. I better not EVER see you with Kurt again. You're NOT going to hurt him again. We all trusted you. Asshole."
Blaine didn't feel it would be in his best interest to text back after that. He was confused. He didn't want to lose Kurt over this, but he just couldn't tell him about what happened back at Parker.
*END OF FLASHBACK*
Kurt woke up three days after that to his phone ringing. It was playing Blaine's version of "Teenage Dream". "How pathetic." Kurt thought to himself as he picked up his phone. He was completely shocked at what his screen said.
"Kurt, I'm so sorry. I was stupid. If you could ever forgive me, I'll be at the park in ten. If not, I understand. I really am soo sorry for everything I put you through. And I'd like the chance to explain what happened back at Parker. I think I'm finally ready to open up. –Blaine"
Kurt wasn't sure of what he should do. Forget about him and move on, or put on a brave face and go hear him out. The latter would take courage. Courage. Kurt was suddenly flooded with memories of Blaine. Memories he knew he couldn't, or wanted to ever forget. He smiled as he thought about everything he'd been through with Blaine. Then, he got up, got dressed, and went out to his car.
When Kurt finally pulled into the park parking lot, he immediately saw Blaine sitting with his back to him on that same park bench they had sat just three days earlier. Kurt found himself smiling as he put the car in park and got out. Blaine still had no idea Kurt was there and was about to give up.
"Well," Blaine mumbled to himself. "I guess he's not coming. Shit. I can't believe I just threw it all away."
"Blaine." Kurt whispered.
Blaine couldn't believe his ears. He turned around and his face completely drained all of its color.
"Kurt." Blaine said fighting back a smile. "You came back."
"Of course I did. I'll always come back." Kurt said with a smile.
Blaine practically ran to him engulfing him a hug. He fought the urge to kiss Kurt. They weren't officially together again and he didn't want to take advantage of him.
"Now, are you finally ready to tell me this story that always gets you so worked up?" Kurt asked as he sat down on the bench.
He was half-joking, but if he wasn't ready, Kurt wasn't sure of why he was here, risking heartbreak again. With that though Kurt started coming to his senses. Maybe being here wasn't the best idea.
"Kurt." Blaine said sitting next to him. "I want you to know, I never wanted to hurt you the way I did. I acted like a complete idiot, and I'm so genuinely sorry for that."
Kurt just sighed. He was really questioning his own judgment at the moment, and Blaine's "speech" wasn't helping the situation at all.
Blaine took a deep breath.
"But, yes." Blaine said looking up at Kurt. "I'm ready to tell you."
Kurt breathed a sigh of relief.
"I want you to know, though, that this IS my story. No matter how unbelievable it may sound, all of this really DID happen to me. And in some ways, still IS happening. This isn't a fairytale Kurt. Just because I moved to Dalton, that doesn't mean that I live happily ever after. Do you understand?" Blaine asked.
Kurt simply nodded. He was officially worried. Was this Blaine's way of calling for help? Kurt had no idea. Of course, how was he to know what Blaine went through and still was going through? God knows he never talked about it. And no matter what he could've done, there was no way for Kurt to prepare himself for the story Blaine was about to tell.
