My chest was tight and throat thick with fear as I meandered down endless corridors. They all looked the same and I couldn't find a way out of this terrifying maze. The sky outside was dark, no stars or moon in the sky tonight, and the only thing lighting the corridors was the light from my little pocket torch. I could hear loud footsteps and a harsh laugh following me around every turn, but my tormentor never seemed to catch up. Always chasing, but never catching. Always taunting, terrifying, and torturing, but I can never escape from it. There is never an end.

I stepped into an empty classroom and frantically searched for an escape, or somewhere to hide. There was nothing.

My tormentor loomed up, massive and dark in the doorway, with a menacing expression plastered across his huge face. I backed away from him slowly, but all too soon I was up against the wall, nowhere else to run. My breath was stuck somewhere at the back of my throat as Karofsky walked painfully slowly into the room. The door slammed shut behind him, and the noise it made rocketed through me, shaking me to the bones. Another evil laugh ripped from his throat as he saw me close my eyes and sink to the ground in terror. As he drew ever closer to me, I knew this was it; he had come to fulfil his promise and kill me. He looked psychotic as he stopped just a few feet away from me, pulling a hammer out from behind him and clenching his beefy fist around it.

My mind roamed to everything I was about to lose; my family, my friends, Blaine… I was going to die a painful death of being beaten to death with a hammer by a homophobic psychopath. I covered my head with my hands, curling up into a tight ball as my body tensed, waiting for impact. I whispered a short message to everyone I loved, even though they would never hear it.

I opened my eyes a crack, and saw Karofsky hold the hammer high above his head. My eyes slammed shut again as the hammer rocketed down towards me, and I waited for the excruciating pain that was sure to burst from my skull.

But it never came.

Instead, the hammer wrapped around my body, squeezing me and shaking me. It held me round the middle and shook me, as Karofsky called my name, "Kurt? Kurt! Kurt, are you okay? Kurt, don't worry, it's just me!"

My eyes flew open, and I screamed out in terror, no idea where I was. Where was Karofsky? Was he still here?

Then my mind returned to the present, shocking me out of the nightmare world I was just in. As my panting breath calmed down, I realised that I was in bed, and the squeezing and shaking was Blaine frantically trying to wake me.

Blaine.

I quickly rolled over, and my stomach surged when I saw him. He was staring intently at me with his beautiful hazel eyes, full of love and fear for why I was freaking out. An immense feeling of safety and calmness rushed over my entire body and soul as I saw him, smelled him, felt his arms around me.

"Oh, Blaine…" I whispered, nuzzling into his chest as tears spilled down my cheeks in relief and shock.

"Shh, it's okay Kurt. It was only a bad dream. I'm here. You're safe." Blaine whispered comforting words into my ear as he held me close and rubbed my back soothingly. "You're safe." He pressed a soft kiss to my lips, and I felt all the fear and pain and sadness from the dream melt away.

"Thank you, Blaine. I love you so much..." I whispered, snuggling in even closer to his warm and safe embrace.

"I love you too."
