Broken: Chapter 1
Focuses: Kurt, Blaine, Rachel and Finn.
"My heart like glass as it smashes on the floor.
My palms sweating like mad as I open up that door!
You swept me off me feet,
You made me feel complete,
But now we are no more,
My broken heart is on the floor"
Kurt sang the last chorus to his new favourite pop tune. He heard it on the radio a few weeks ago and couldn't get enough. He gently rubbed his facial cleanser across his cheeks, and dialled Blaine's number into the phone with the other hand. Every night at 10:00 he and Blaine would do their Skin routine over the phone, it was a ritual.
Kurt popped a cucumber in his mouth and waited, getting through much to many before Blaine finally picked up.
Blaine answered on the eighth ring, later than usual, "Hello?"
"Hey! It's me; do you have your mirror ready?" Kurt asked, smiling slightly to himself. Of course he had his mirror, who wouldn't want to look at Blaine? He was definitely not one of the very few who didn't.
"Um, no, why would I?" Blaine sounded strangely confused. Surely he must be joking, he never forgot!
"It's skin time!" Kurt chuckled lightly, but it sounded too nervous to really sound like Kurt was seeing any humour in this situation, "You remembered didn't you?"
"What?" There was a faint mumbling in the background. A deep voice said something in a sarcastic voice. Perhaps it was his father joking around about his memory? "Oh! Right, um, Kurt?"
"What is it?" Kurt sounded so worried; he wasn't fooling anyone at all.
Blaine laughed slightly, but it came off sounding a tad bit nervous, "Kurt, don't freak out but, um, I am too busy to clean my face today" Blaine tried to make it sound like it was a funny situation, but it wasn't.
Kurt nearly choked on his cucumber. His whole face was pale with stress and worry; he thought about what could Blaine possibly have to do that was so urgent on a Friday night? Couldn't it wait?
"Kurt? You okay?" Blaine asked, worried.
"Um..."-cough-"Yeah, fine, sorry, just choked, a bit, I guess.." Kurt trailed off, still frozen with shock, "So, what's so important?"
"Uh" More deep voices, "I got a friend over..." He seemed hesitant to finish.
"Oh! Anyone I know?" Kurt was taken by surprise at his answer; he would have thought he got tickets to go to Les Miserables or something like that! He had to have something more important than 'Having a friend over' to miss their ritual.
"Yes, well actually no, you don't know him..." Kurt was upset by this answer, but he didn't want to pry. He was just about to start talking again when he heard a muffled, "No, that's a bad idea" coming from Blaine's end.
"I want to talk to him" A familiar voice said on the other end of the line. Kurt's whole body went stiff, "Hello, Kurt?"
"Sebastian" Was all he could say.
"Hi, now go off and do your little gay skin routines, and leave Blaine and I ALONE!" –Beep- he hung up.
What was Sebastian doing with Blaine? Could he be? NO! Blaine would never hurt Kurt like that. His phone vibrated in his hand, a text from Blaine.
Kurt, I'm sorry, he just showed up at the Lima Bean and practically invited himself over...I hope you forgive me-B
Kurt was about to reply with 'Of Course" but he suddenly wasn't so sure...
Whatever- K
A shiver went through Kurt as he realised he had just sent his first mean text...well, sent it to the person he was being mean to.
He was extremely proud of himself and decided he could finish his routine by himself.
Monday, School:
Kurt has desperately tried to ignore Blaine all day, but that was a hard task when Blaine came up to him in the hallway and sat with him at lunch. He still didn't answer anything Blaine said. But he decided it was time to give up when he walked into Glee Club and saw Blaine patting the chair next to him, beckoning Kurt to sit next to him.
Kurt sat down without a word and crossed his arms over his chest. Blaine just stared at him and then whispered in his ear, "Are you trying to ignore me or am I just imagining things?"
GAH! Kurt was finding this hard, why did Blaine have to be so damn cute with his little Capri pants and bow ties..."No, I'm trying to" Just not succeeding.
"Oh..." Blaine looked as if he wanted to say more, but Mr Schue walked in, clapping his hands together. Uh-Oh! That was a bad sign.
"Hey gang!" Mr Schue beamed as always. "I have an assignment for you guys!"
Everyone groaned, besides Rachel Berry...
"What is it?" She asked politely, eyes round with innocence, Finn had his arm wrapped tightly around her shoulders and she clutched onto her star necklace Finn had given her last year.
"Well, since it's almost Valentine 's Day, I thought you could all pick a partner and sing them a Love song!" Everyone smiled and cheered except Kurt, who rolled his eyes, Mr Schue didn't miss it, "You have a problem with that, Kurt?"
Kurt hesitated and then stood up, yelling at his favourite teacher, "Yes, I do actually. Why do we always have to focus on happiness and love! You know, sometimes life isn't as great as you always want it to be!" Kurt stormed out.
"Damn, he stole me exit..." Rachel mumbled under her breath, standing up.
"I'll take care of him..." Blaine said, standing up also.
"No, Blaine. I think I better take this one..." Rachel called over her shoulder, already walking out of the classroom. Finn got up to follow, but she quickly put her hand up to stop him, "Sorry, Finn. But I think this is something only a girl can deal with" She smiled and kissed him lightly on the cheek before running out of the room.
"Kurt? Kurt!" Her loud voice echoed down the empty corridors and her penny loafers squeaked against the linoleum. "Where are you?"
She found Kurt sitting in the janitor's closet. "What on earth are you doing in here!" Rachel tried hard not to touch much. After all, getting germs means getting sick and getting sick means losing your voice, and that couldn't happen if she was going to get to sing a song to Finn, "It's disgusting!"
Kurt shrugged his shoulders, his face looked so pained and upset that she forgot all about the germs and slid down next to him, on the floor, so she could wrap an arm around his shoulders, "So, what was that about?"
He knew what she meant, "I guess, I'm just not in a very Lovey-Dovey mood right now..."
"Did you and Blaine have a fight?" She asked, concerned.
"Sort of..." Kurt seemed hesitant to answer.
"Please, tell me" Her willingness to help out a friend combined with her natural curiosity made it impossible to not ask.
"Well, you see, I called Blaine, so we could do our skin ritual and he had totally forgotten!" Kurt complained, throwing his hands up in the air.
Rachel was stunned. She knew Kurt was sensitive about skin, but why would that cause such an emotional outburst? "So...?"
"Well, he said he couldn't do it because he had a 'friend' over" Kurt said, his voice dripping with sarcasm.
"And..." Rachel urged him to go on, this story wasn't really going anywhere to interesting. A friend! So what!
"It was Sebastian..." Kurt head dropped onto his knees.
"Oh..." Well, Rachel was even more surprised than she had been the other times! "What happened then?"
"He just said something rude and hung up!"
"Blaine did?" Rachel asked.
"No! Sebastian" Kurt looked up at her, surprised she had thought that.
"Oh, well that makes much more sense" She said, looking down, not quite sure how to handle this. She wasn't really an expert on gay relationship triangles, "I really don't know what to say..."
"It's alright Rachel, I appreciate you coming for me" He smiled at her.
"I feel like such a lousy BDF!" She was so mad at herself for not knowing what to do!
"What the hell is a BDF?" He asked.
"Oh, Best Diva Forever, duh." She looked at him curiously, as if everyone knew what a BDF was.
He laughed and she stood up, grabbing his hand and pulling him up to. They shared a quick hug before getting out of the closet, trying not to touch anything else. "Look, if Finn had Quinn over, I mean, I would get so pissed off at him, so I can't really say you're over reacting...cause it's exactly how I would act"
Kurt laughed as they ran down the long corridor back to glee club, "Talented minds think alike"
She smiled and held up her pinkie, so they could do there slightly less gay version of the gay high five.
Rachel's House, Monday after School
*DING-DONG*
Rachel's door bell rang suddenly and she ran down the corridor to answer it.
She grabbed the brass handle and yanked the door open; there stood her own personal miracle, Finn Hudson.
"Hey baby" He smiled, leaning down to kiss her. She tried to stretch up, but still could barely reach. "I can't stay for very long, I have to give you something though" He lifted her up to make it easier to kiss her.
"So, what are you giving me?" She asked when he pulled away, smiling.
"A Valentine's day present!"
"No! Oh no, Finn, I don't want one! Not after what happened at Christmas.
"To bad" He smirked, 'You're getting one anyway, close your eyes please!" She obeyed and suddenly felt a weight around her neck, "Open them now!"
"Oh, Finn!" She smiled, it was a locket and inside on one side was a picture of her Pig 'Barbra" on the other side, was a picture of her and Finn kissing on stage at nationals. "How did you get that picture?"
"Well, turns out that my uncle was in the audience that day" He laughed, "He caught up with me yesterday and gave me the photo"
"I love it, it's beautiful, thanks!"
"You're beautiful" He smiled, putting a hand under her chin.
"Naw...you're just saying that" She looked down blushing. He shook his head gently and leaned down to kiss her lightly.
"I have to go, I love you" He turned to walk out the door.
Suddenly, Finn had a great idea for the glee club assignment.
