A/N: So, I have decided to try my hardest to get a new chapter out every Sunday/Monday but I can't promise anything. Thankyou to meglovesklaine who actually reviewed and encouraged me to write this. I'm very grateful that someone appreciates my writing, it's lovely to get responses, so please do review and let me know what you thought...
The past week without Blaine had been hell for Kurt. On the evening he left, he hadn't thought about where he was going to stay, so he called the first person he could think of...
"Hey, 'Cedes" Mercedes picked up the phone, to hear an obviously upset Kurt mumbling a tear-filled greeting through the other end. "Kurt? What happened, have you been crying? Was it Blaine? I'll kill him..." "No, I mean, yes, I mean," Kurt tried, he really tried to get a sentence out but before he could say anything that made sense, he started crying again. "Kurt, hey, come on. Don't worry. Listen, are you at your apartment?"
"Yeah, just outside, actually."
"Okay, I'm gonna call for a cab to pick you up and take you here, and we can watch a movie, you can stay here for the night and if you want to, you can tell me what did, or didn't happen between you and Blaine, okay?"
"Thanks Mercedes, You're the best..."
Teen minutes later, just as promised, a taxi came to pick up Kurt and before he knew it, he was at Mercedes apartment just outside the city. Mercedes buzzed him up and Kurt started to head inside, as he was waiting for the elevator he realised it had been raining since about 4 that afternoon. It was currently 8 pm and Kurt was drenched. The elevator stopped on the fifth floor and Kurt trudged down the hall with his suitcase in hand.
Kurt knocked once and Mercedes answered immediately and engulfed the boy in a hug, whispering hello into his ear. She ushered Kurt in and gave him a mug of warm milk. "Thanks Mercedes."
"No problem. Now come sit down and maybe you could tell me what happened, why you have brought a massive suitcase and were bawling on the phone to me, not 20 minutes ago?"
Kurt looked at Mercedes, tears refilling his eyes, "I-I-I broke up with h-him." Kurt managed to get his sentence out before breaking down again. "You what? Why Kurt, you were both so happy, you just moved into a new apartment, didn't you?" Mercedes hugged Kurt again before leading him over to the big sofa in her living room. Kurt sat down next to Mercedes and explained everything,
"And then I shrugged him off and walked out. I stood outside the door crying fro half an hour before calling you, I miss him already Mercedes, I just can't be near him, not with everything that's happened. It's like there's this hole in my heart. It-it actually hurts, knowing that he's not there any more. I want to go back." Kurt sat in Mercedes' arms, tears falling fast down his porcelain cheeks. "Kurt, I know that that you didn't like how things became between him and Henry, but maybe this was for the best, you breaking up with him, it stopped you getting your heart broken."
"But that's the thing 'Cedes, he broke my heart the day he got onto that couch and cuddled with Henry." He said the name with venom, Mercedes knew that there was nothing she could do except be there for her best friend, so she sat with him while he cried into her arms. After a few hours they both drifted off to sleep and for a while were able to forget about having to face reality in the morning.
When Kurt woke, the sky had cleared and he was hungry, he slipped out of Mercedes' arms, careful not to wake her. Kurt was reaching up to get some cereal out of the cupboard when the phone rang, so Kurt, still not wanting to wake Mercedes, quickly picked up.
"Hello, is this Mercedes Jones? It's Burt Hummel here, you texted me last night to say that my son's upset about something?" Kurt heard his father's voice on the other line and suppressed a gasp, "No, dad it's me, I stayed over last night. Mercedes is asleep."
"Kurt what's wrong? Why did Mercedes text me? Do you need somewhere to stay?" Burt sounded concerned, like he could tell what was happening, even though by the sounds of things, he didn't know the half of it. Somehow the concern in Burt's voice was enough to remind Kurt of how concerned Blaine would get when Kurt was upset which, unsurprisingly, started him crying again, "Kurt? Are you crying? What's wrong? Where's Mercedes?" Kurt's crying was enough to wake the sleeping girl and she immediately ran up and hugged Kurt before taking the phone off him. "Burt. He's upset, he'll explain if he wants to... Yeah... I'll drive him up later... Okay... No problem... Thanks Burt... Bye."
Later that day, Mercedes drove Kurt up to Lima and he sat and explained everything again, to his dad. Everything except that all important, last sentence from Blaine. The sentence that was nagging at the back of his mind. Kurt didn't want to tell anyone about that as he knew it would result in him being told that he was stupid to give up Blaine when he obviously loved Kurt back.
Kurt now lived with his dad and Carole in Lima, just like he said he would. He applied for community college and started there. After the first week of crying, Kurt seemed to get better from the outside. But inside, the pain was still there. Like he was missing a part of himself. Like he'd gone inside his own chest and ripped out one of his lungs, making him constantly gasping for air.
Life for Blaine wasn't much better. On the night Kurt walked out, Blaine kicked Henry out, saying he never wanted to see him again and yelling things like, "This is all your fault!" and "I wish I'd never argued for a room mate!" and then heading back to his bedroom to try and sleep it is probably expected, Blaine awoke the next morning feeling no better at all. He felt like someone had taken his whole world and thrown it to the other side of the universe. When he managed to open his eyes he looked around his room to see none of Kurt's belongings whatsoever the only thing which could've given some sort of notification that Kurt was real was one photo on the bedside table of Blaine and Kurt, graduation day. Blaine couldn't bear this, he had to do something to get Kurt back. Blaine had made a decision, he was going to get Kurt back, no matter what it took...
A/N:Anyone with any ideas of what Blaine could do to get Kurt back would be totally awesome! (see what I did there?)
Last chapter I said that there wouldn't be another chapter without at least one review telling me to keep going. So if you like this enough to review and ask for a third chapter then you will get a third chapter. I need to know that someone likes my writing otherwise I'll just assume that no one cares, there fore I won't bother... :)
