Chapter 1

Cooper pulled out his journal and pen as soon as he saw his desk phone start flashing red, signaling a new call for him to take.

Every call Cooper got, he wrote it down in his journal. He wrote their name, what was wrong, where they lived (if he found out), the gist of the conversation and whether it ended well, bad or unknown.

It was an odd thing to do, he was the only volunteer to do so, but Cooper wanted to remember them. All the people who's lives were so hard, that they had to call up complete strangers for help.

Cooper quickly answered the phone.

"Hello. Cooper speaking." Cooper answered in a calm voice.

"..."

"Hello?" Cooper asked with worry obvious in his voice.

"Hi." Came the weak answer.

"Oh good. You're there. I was worried." Cooper said with relief.

"You were worried?" Came the surprised response.

"Yes. Of course I was. Why wouldn't I be?"

"... Because no on ever is."

Cooper felt his heart break at this kid's words.

"Well I am so sorry. No one shouldn't have someone worrying about them."

"Yeah..."

"Now, as you already know, my name's Cooper and I'm here to help you in any way possible. Could I possibly know your name?"

"It's... It's Blaine."

Cooper quickly wrote that down, feeling a pang in his chest at the fact this poor kid shared the same name as his brother. He would need to contact his brother later.

"That's a cool name. It's the same name my little brother has."

"Oh, that's cool. Most people just tell me it's an extremely gay name."

"Well, they just don't appreciate culture then."

Blaine gave a chuckle a that. "You sound like my boyfriend."

"You have a boyfriend?" Cooper asked, while jotting that piece of information down.

"Yes, he's wonderful."

"Tell me about him."

"Well, he's just plain amazing. He's sweet, funny, an extremely talented singer, he doesn't take crap from no one. He's been so strong. Which is surprising since he has to deal with so much."

"What has he had to deal with?"

"His dad being in a coma, homophobes, transferring schools, death threats. It's amazing he's still in one piece."

"Wow." Cooper said in shock. "Do you have to put up with any of that?"

"... I transferred to my boyfriend's school and it's great to see him every day, but it's horrible. I get slushy facials, locker slams, dumpster dives, slurs left and right. It's horrible."

"Does your boyfriend have to deal with that?"

"Not anymore. His friends in Glee club protect him. I'm free reign."

"Why's that?"

"Because I'm just one of their friend's boyfriend. They only put up with me for him. They don't need to worry about protecting me outside of Glee."

Cooper felt his heart break even more and he jotted down that information quickly.

"Have you told your parents this?"

Blaine snorted. "As if they would care. They don't even pay attention to me. I think they've even forgotten I exist. The only time they'll probably actually listen and care, will be if I tell them I've seen the errors of my ways and am no longer gay."

"Well, no offense, but your parents are ignorant, homophobic pricks."

Blaine burst into laughter. "You sound like my big brother."

"You have a brother?"

"Yeah, he's 26."

"Are you guys close?" Cooper asked

"We were. But we haven't talked in months. I miss him so much. He was my life line..." Cooper could hear Blaine's chocked sobs on the other end. "I did something stupid."

Cooper felt his blood run cold.

"What did you do?"

"I... I cut myself. Multiple times. And I took some pills."

"Dear god." Cooper whispered. "Blaine, you listen to me. Go to the bathroom and throw up. As many times as possible, okay? Afterwards, stop the bleeding of your cuts."

Blaine didn't answer.

"Alright Blaine?" Cooper asked in fear.

"Alright."

Cooper stayed on the line as he heard Blaine force himself to vomit multiple times and the sound of bandages ripping as he wrapped up the cuts.

"Blaine, now I'm going to hang up and I want you to call an ambulance right away."

"What? No! Why?" Blaine yelled.

"Because, there could still be pills in your system and your cuts could be deep enough for stitches. There are a lot of factors that could go wrong." Cooper said with authority.

"Okay. But do I have to?"

"Yes, you do. It's extremely important you do so. I don't want you dying on me. I don't know about the assholes in your life, and I know that I barely know you, but I DO care about you."

Blaine was quiet for a couple seconds before he gave a whispered "Thank you." and hung up.

Cooper sat in silence before he whispered "You're welcome." and hung up himself.

He sat in silence for a minutes, staring into space.

"Cooper? Are you alright?"

Cooper turned to look at the Jamie.

"Yeah, I'm okay. It's just the kid I was talking to. It ended with him saying 'Thank you.' and him hanging up to call an ambulance because he took some pills and cut himself."

Jamie leaned over and put a hand on his arm.

"It's alright. I'm sure the ambulance will get to him and he'll be just fine."

"Yeah. But it's just that, he reminded me of my brother."

"Why don't you call him up then? It'll be a good comfort to hear his voice and know he's okay." Jamie said with a small smile.

"Yeah, you're right." Cooper said with a smile as he stood up. "I'll call him up now."

Cooper quickly left the building while pulling out his cell phone. He then dialed Blaine's number and hit send.

Cooper had to wait a few rings before he got an answer.

"Hello?"

Cooper felt his breath stop. It was the same voice he had just talked to.

His baby brother Blaine, was the same Blaine that just tried to commit suicide.

A/NOh my dead wizard god. You guys are kidding me, right? In only 3 days, I have gotten a total of 63 messages informing me of story alerts, favorites and reviews. I just can't believe the reaction a freakin' Prologue.It just amazes me. And all I have to say to this is;

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I LOVE YOU ALL!

...Okay... I think I got it out of my system. I just love that my story is liked! :D

I know you're all wondering why Cooper didn't recognize Blaine's voice, and it's because he hasn't had a real conversation with his brother in more than a year. It's really sad, but it works for the story. And Cooper is going to fix that.

But I really hope y'all enjoyed this chapter and will leave a review! I will only update this story if I get at least 3 reviews per chapter! ;)
