Kurt enters Blaine's hospital room with Mary; his family following close behind.

He walks slowly to stand next to his unconscious boyfriend. He barely recognises Blaine. The bright, joyfulness that usually radiates from every part of Blaine is missing. Blaine looks... completely pale. And empty. And... Lifeless.

Kurt can't take it. This is wrong. Blaine isn't supposed to be on his deathbed. He isn't supposed to be in the hospital at all. He is supposed to be taking Kurt to the movies. He is supposed to be laughing and smiling and living his life to the fullest. This... this isn't fair.

Kurt feels anger boil up in his stomach and he takes a slow shuddering breath to calm himself down.

"How long does he have?" Kurt asks in a broken whisper.

"They said it could be anywhere from a few seconds to a few hours." Someone answers. Kurt doesn't register anything accept the words.

Seconds.

Blaine could pass at any moment.

Kurt knows he has to say goodbye while he still has the chance. So he fights back another fit of tears, hold's his head up proudly and does his best to be strong for Blaine.

"Can I... talk to him alone?" Kurt asks, turning to his and Blaine's families.

The Anderson's nod in understanding, having already said their goodbyes. They lead the way out of the hospital room, taking one last look at their son. Finn supports his mother with his arm wrapped around her shoulders.

Burt is the last to leave. He stops just outside the door and looks back at his son.

"You gonna be okay?" Burt asks gently, his voice full of concern.

"Yeah dad. Thanks." Kurt says without looking back. He hasn't taken his eyes off of Blaine since he entered the room. He wants to memorize Blaine while he still can.

Once Kurt is sure they're alone, he sits on the bed next to Blaine. He grips one of Blaine's hands and rubs it tenderly before hugging it to his chest. He wraps both of his hands around Blaine's and he sighs contentedly. Kurt may not be able to see it, but he can definitely feel the love and warmth on Blaine's skin.

"Blaine..." Kurt says softly, searching his mind for the right words. He watches Blaine's upper body rise and fall slowly.

"Blaine, it's me. Kurt." He squeezes Blaine's hand to show he's there. Blaine doesn't move. The only signs that he's still alive are the beeping of the machine and the steady rise and fall of his chest. "Blaine... they say you're uhm... you aren't going to be around for much longer. I... I'm going to miss you Blaine. You... you may not know it, but you changed my life. For the better of course."

Kurt smiles sadly as he fights to keep his tears at bay.

"If it weren't for you... God, who knows how messed up my life would be... I... I don't think I'd be the same. Hell, I know I wouldn't be the same. You... I don't even know how to explain it Blaine. You... You saved me. You made me a stronger person. You... you saved me Blaine. There is no way I can ever repay you for everything you've ever given me."

Kurt feels a tear slide down his cheek. He wipes it away quickly before returning his hand to Blaine's.

"...I don't want you to leave Blaine. How am I supposed to wake up in the mornings if you won't be there to send me stupid texts?" Kurt laughs a little, thinking of all the stupid things Blaine loves to do. All the stupid things Kurt's going to miss dearly.

"Blaine, I know we haven't been together that long but... But I meant it when I said I loved you. I know you meant it to. I really, really do love you Blaine. I... I don't know how I'm going to live without you. I just... Don't leave me Blaine. Please don't leave me. I can't live without you." Kurt feels stupid for beggin Blaine to stay, but he can't help it. Blaine shouldn't have to die.

Kurt can't hold it in any longer. He sobs as quietly as possible, repeating the same words over and over.

"Please don't leave me Blaine. Please don't leave me."

A few minutes pass, and Kurt is finally back in control of his emotions. The tears are still falling from his eyes, but at least he's breathing normally.

Kurt brushes a hand through Blaine's hair gently as the machine next to Blaine beeps a little slower.

Kurt holds his breath. The only sounds in the room are Blaine's quiet breathing, and decreasing heart rate. Kurt knows what's about to happen. He blinks his eyes shut and hears Blaine's parents enter the room.

Kurt turns and they share a knowing glance. Blaine's mother stands on the other side of her son's bed. She takes Blaine's free hand in his, placing a soft kiss to his forehead.

The machine beeps slower.

This is it.

Blaine's leaving.

Kurt stands, letting his and Blaine's hands fall lightly to his side, as he gazes down at his boyfriend. His beautiful, perfect, amazing boyfriend. They all listen in silence as Blaine's heart slows even more.

Kurt holds his breath and closes his eyes.

One finally beep.

Blaine's chest falls slowly.

It doesn't rise.

And just like that, Blaine is gone.

Kurt hears Mary give a sad little sigh as she turns back to her husband. Blaine's father wraps his arms strongly around his wife. The couple cries quietly.

Kurt releases his hold on Blaine's hand, placing it softly on the bed. He leans in slowly, caressing Blaine's cheek gently.

Kurt whispers directly into Blaine's ear, so that no one else will hear him.

"I'll always love you, Blaine."

He places one last soft kiss on Blaine's chapped lips.

With one last look at his boyfriend he turns and walks right out of the hospital room.

He walks past his family, without saying a word. Finn makes to follow Kurt, but his mother holds him back.

"Just give him some time alone Finn."

Finn nods and watches as his brother turns a corner.

Kurt takes the elevator back to the main floor and walks out the front door.

The sun has set and everything is quiet.

He sits on a bench away from the doors, and wraps his arms around himself.

He looks up to the starry night sky and cries until he can't cry anymore.

Kay I hope they're are no spelling errors in this. I spent a lot of time editing it so I think it should be good.

There's a bit of an epilogue coming next then we're done with this fic.

I hope you enjoy it.
