Disclaimer: I do not, in any way, profit from this story and all creative rights to the characters belong to their original creator(s).

IMPORTANT: This is not a singular story. I asked readers a while back if they would consider helping me choose which multi-chapter to write first, and the response was positive.

So, here's what is happening for those who are confused - Every time I update this, it will be with a different 'sample chapter', meaning that it holds enough of a story for you to get whats happening, what may happen and it will probably end on a cliffhanger because I'm evil that way. Every three updates, I will change the poll on my profile, to be left up until the next three are done. You vote on the sample you like best, and at the end, a vote will be counted, and that sample goes into a 'fina-list', if you get what I mean.

Eventually, the story with the most votes will be uploaded as a WIP, and when that's done, the story with the second most votes and so on and so forth.

Don't expect to see the chapter in exactly the same format in the full story, however. When I post these I may change the tense in the final draft, take chunks out, put chunks in - half of one sample may be found in one chapter and the other half in the epilogue, for example. These are all works in progress.

Onto the first story:


Title: Butterfly Fly Away
Rating: T for implied sex and strong language
Pairing: Klaine
Genre: Romance/Angst
Warning: Angst, Blangst and Klangst. Also, accused infidelity.
Summary: As he hears yet another porcelain vase hit the wall behind him and a dry sob, he wonders if maybe, just maybe, he shouldn't be here. If he should just leave, to stop hurting people.
A fourth crash sounds and Kurt's pretty sure Blaine agrees.

Butterfly Version 1 Sample Chapter

"Can you ask everyone at McKinley not to contact me for a while?" Kurt's voice is soft as Nick listens intently, noting down everything from his hidden vantage point behind the closet door. He can see Kurt pacing in his grey waistcoat, scarf and skinny jeans ensemble. He is pale and looks exhausted, but Nick puts this down to having to split his time between two boys. Cheating isn't easy after all. He scowls. All those secrets.

"No, Dalton just has some important exams coming up and I need to pass."

Well, that's true.

"And Blaine's been avoiding me lately… Every time I catch his eyes he just looks away like I stabbed his puppy or something… No…" A laugh. "Can you imagine? No…"

Nick's a little confused- isn't Kurt talking to that Sam guy? Maybe the guy knows about Blaine then. That just makes it worse, the warbler decides, frown deepening.

"It's as if he's heard all these stupid rumours too. Can you believe Rachel? She attacked me when she was over with Finn the other day telling me to stop cheating." A huff. "As if I would ruin the best thing to ever happen to me like that. I'm not a cheater."

Nick pauses, pencil on paper, and his eyes widen.

"No, Sam. Violence solves nothing…" Another laugh, low and a little choked. Kurt falls on the bed and sighs. "You don't want to hear about my big gay love-life, Blondie. Tell me, any girls in your life lately?"

The conversation continues and Nick starts to feel extremely stupid by the end of it – especially when Kurt makes a disapproving sound and says "Any luck finding a house yet? You guys can't live in that motel room forever… I already said you could have my room at home; I'm not using it… Sam…"

The conversation ends with Kurt pleading for two weeks mobile silence. It seems Sam agrees, and when Kurt hangs up, he moves to a notebook on the desk and crosses something off.

"New Directions out; check." He mutters to himself.

When Kurt disappears into the bathroom, Nick climbs out of his hiding spot and makes a beeline for the desk, snapping a picture of the open pages with his phone. His eyes widen when they scan down one leaf of paper, and then he's running.

In the empty room, the page flutters weakly in the draft of Nick's hasty exit.

'Things to do before NYC move. Time Limit: two weeks'.


Remember, a poll will be up after the third update, and I hope you'll take part!
