Chapter 2: Month Later…

It's two days before junior year and they boys are at Sebastian's house in the apartment above the garage. His parents decided to let him redo it since they felt he and his friends needed a place to relax.

The past few months, things had been difficult for them. The whole issue with Eli causing havoc with them all, Kurt and Blaine losing their child. It changed something in the both of them. Blaine was emotional and Kurt was just mad. He didn't look depressed like Blaine did. He cleaned himself up and everything. But he was just off.

"Okay, so it's been a hell of a past few months. But we've survived it and we're still here." Sebastian said as he held up a glass of Gingered Apple Cider, "Even though some of us probably don't want to be."

"I'm fine. Therapy has been helping." Kurt snapped. Sebastian and the rest of the group flinched at that statement.

"We know Kurt, but we're here for you, you too Blaine." Sam said as he put his hand on Blaine's lap. Blaine gave him a kind smile.

"We actually wanted to sing something for you." Sam said. Kurt and Blaine just looked at each other while the others got ready to perform.

Sebastian:

The lights are going down

In every city town

But you'll be fast asleep

There's no one that can keep

The dream out of your heart

And when you fall apart

Just hold your head up high

You have an alibi in me

Finn and Puck:

Can't compromise me for you

That kind of trade would never do

Wearing shoes that don't quite fit

You lose yourself bit by bit

Completely alone now, blank page beginning

Empty head the world is spinning

Control the strings, dancing puppet on a stage

A cage

All of the boys:

The lights are going down

In every city town

But you'll be fast asleep

There's no one that can keep

The dream out of your heart

And when you fall apart

Just hold your head up high

You have an alibi in me

Rory and Sam:

Late in the afternoon

The winter's cold will soon

Rewrite the summer's lies

With frozen alibis

All of the boys:

The lights are going down

In every city town

But you'll be fast asleep

There's no one that can keep

The love out of your heart

And when you fall apart

Just hold your head up high

You have an alibi in me

"Thank you." Kurt said eyes shining with tears. Sebastian smiled at him and gave him a hug, along with Blaine.

"We appreciate it." Blaine said. They all shared a round of hugs before grabbing their glasses.

"So let's raise our glasses and pray that this year is the best year of our lives. Well...besides senior year that is." Sebastian said as they raised their glasses and took a drink.

"Let's get this party started." Finn said.

Two hours later, Kurt awoke to go to the bathroom. All that drinking (which wasn't really that much to him) caused him to have a full bladder. When he came back he noticed that Sebastian was missing. He looked for Blaine and saw him leaned up against the couch asleep.

He decided to walk downstairs and heard what sounded like a muffled conversation. He walked outside to hear Sebastian having a heated conversation with someone.

"I don't care what it takes. I have to see him. There's some things that I need to know." He said into his cellphone. Who was Sebastian talking to at this time at night? He leaned a little closer.

"Look Jade, I need your help. Try to find out everything you can... Okay, thank you. I'll see you soon." He said and hung up. He was shocked when he heard Kurt clear his throat. "Jesus, Kurt you scared the hell out of me."

"It seems like you were having a pretty intense conversation." Kurt said. Sebastian had to shut this down quick, otherwise his secret might be found out.

"Yeah I was talking to my cousin. There's this guy that can get me One Direction tickets." Sebastian said smoothly. Kurt crossed his arms and rolled his eyes.

"Sure, whatever you say." He said before he turned around and walked back into the barn. Sebastian let out a huff of air. He was proud that he didn't get busted; only he didn't know that he had.

Kurt got back into his sleeping bag and looked up at the ceiling. He didn't care what Sebastian was hiding. He had bigger things to worry about. The very top of his list would have to be...

Finding Aiden.

SRSRSRSRSRSRSRSRSRSRSR

The day school started Sam was at his locker. Rory came walking up to him with a huge smile on his face. They had gone the entire summer without anything from their enemy. Apparently Eli was locked up in the 'Ward', so everything was going pretty well.

"Someone seems happy." Sam said as he put his book in his locker.

"I am. Sugar and I are going strong. She really is awesome." Rory said.

"I'm happy for ya bro. I'm glad you were able to get the money for your trip. You guys won, which was awesome."

"Yep, it seems that everyone is doing okay. Finn's doing well with the whole recovery thing. Kurt and Blaine seem to be adjusting to everything too." Rory said.

"That is true. But I can tell that they were really looking forward to the baby. Plus with it being a boy, it has to be pretty sucky for them now." Sam said as they began walking down the hall.

"I can't even begin to describe the type of pain that must feel like. But I feel that they'll overcome this and even find their way back to each other." Rory smiled.

"Yeah I do too. Oh and by the way, did you notice how happy Dave seemed to be over the summer?" Sam asked.

"I did, wonder what that's about?" Rory said.

DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Dave was in his car happy as ever. He had met a nice guy over the summer. Even though it had only been 3 months, he's never felt happier.

"Dave? Are you okay?" Chandler asked. Dave looked over at his boyfriend and smiled. Chandler was a few inches shorter than him, with blonde hair, blue eyes, and always wore a beanie. And he wore big classes that Dave just loved.

"I'm fine. I just..." He let his voice trail off.

"Don't know how to introduce me to your friends?" Chandler finished for him.

"Yeah, look I don't want you to be a secret or anything. I just have to do this in my own way." Dave said. Chandler grabbed his hand.

"Take as long as you want. I'm not gonna rush you, you know. The fact that I'm with you is all that matters." Dave leaned in and kissed him. It was short, but sweet too.

"Let's go, wouldn't want you to be late for your new class." Dave said as he led the boy into the building.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Sebastian had managed to skip the rest of the day of school. Of course he'd be back to school for glee club, but he had some unfinished business to handle.

He pulled up to Levin Mental Institute. He had been secretly going there for a few weeks now. He needed answers. Eli was supposed to be his friend and it turns out that he's totally psycho? Some things just don't add up. He got out of his car and walked into the building. He flashed his badge and was guided to Eli's room.

"Hey buddy, how are we today?" He asked as he sat down. Eli turned to look at him and then looked out the window again. Sebastian sighed and picked up his magazine.

Eli had been completely stoic every time Sebastian had come to see him.

"I think that this school year is gonna be great. It won't be the same without my best friend though." He said hoping for a response.

Nothing.

"You're gonna have to say something eventually. We can't just sit here." Again nothing. Sebastian rolled his eyes and continued to read his magazine.

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

Kurt had lost interest in a lot of things. His Cheerios days were over, he hated pretty much everything and everyone, he did keep singing though. Most of which were dark songs. Burt, Carole, and Finn were getting worried.

Burt had caught Kurt looking at the scar on his stomach on different occasions. He truly felt bad for his son. At least that bastard was on the looney bin. He couldn't hurt his kids and their friends anymore.

He just wished that he could've gotten more justice for his kids. Apparently since the baby didn't 'take a breath of air' he wasn't considered a person, so they couldn't rule it a murder. Which was insane. Burt, Clayton Smythe, and Sasha Anderson pushed everything they could to put Eli in jail, but to no avail.

The only thing that could happen was that he was put in the Levin Institute for psychiatric evaluation.

Kurt sat by his window and just stared outside. He would just think about what could've been. He would have been a proud parent to a little boy. He wondered what he would've looked like.

Would he have had Blaine's curls? His pointy nose? Blaine's dazzling smile? His fashion sense? All those questions will never get to be answered because of Eli. And Aiden. Kurt was going to hunt Aiden down and find out what the hell his problem was.

He needed to know why Aiden would betray him like that? What was his motive? Kurt knew that this wasn't over. Eli said himself that they worked for someone. There was someone else out there pulling the strings. Just because one of the minions was currently detained, didn't mean that their pathetic agenda against them was finished.

Aiden held the answers. Kurt heard a beep and went over to his vanity.

'Hey, I can meet you tonight. If you're up to it.' The text said. Kurt looked down and smiled.

'See you soon.' Kurt replied. He leaned back against his wall and closed his eyes.

Tonight was going to be very interesting.

A/N: Happy Holidays readers! Okay sorry it's been a minute lol. But here's chapter two. I'm trying to build up tension and keep my storylines together. Who's Kurt talking to? Dave and Chandler? I wonder what will happen there. Sebastian going to see Eli? Something's wrong with that picture. Don't fret, the rest of the boys will be mentioned. I have the official trailer to this story on my profile. Check it out; it'll give off foreshadowing events. The song used in this chapter is Alibi, by The Strange Familiar.
