Chapter 3

"Blaine, mail!" Puck called.

Blaine ran down the stairs to Puck.

"What is there for me?" Blaine asked.

"Just a letter," Puck answered, giving him the large envelope.

Blaine immediately opened it, slowly fishing the continents of the letter.

It was a photo.

Blaine's face paled, he quickly shoved it back in before anyone could see it.

"Blaine, are you ok?" Rachel asked when she saw the expression on her brother's face.

"I'm- uh fine. I - I'll be in my room," Blaine stammered, scrambling up the stairs while Puck and Rachel watched him go.

Blaine ran in to his room, quickly shutting the door behind him.

Blaine sat down on his desk, and opened the letter again. It had to pieces of paper on it, one with a message the other had a photo printed on it.

Blaine first looked at the message which said; either you tell or I'll tell for you.

Reading the message, Blaine could feel his heart beating, the beads of sweat appearing on his forehead, his hands shaking.

He got out the other piece of paper with the photo. He examined the photo, the sun was low, which mean it was sundown when it was taken. Kurt's car was in view in the parking lot of 'Lima Bean'.

You could see Kurt sitting in the driver's seat, his sandy brown hair as perfect as usual. His eyes were half closed but still shining through the blur of the photo. An arm was wrapped around his neck; Blaine looked at the person who was sitting beside Kurt in the car.

It was himself

Blaine could see himself kissing Kurt on the lips. So did the person who took the photo, the person who was going to tell everyone that he was gay.

Blaine was angry at himself.

How could he be so stupid and not be careful! He practically allowed this person to do this to him, to ruin his life.

Blaine could feel shivers run through his body, his heart sink and now the room was spinning. Blaine sunk his head in his hands, trying to stop the dizziness.

Blaine propped his head up when he heard a knock on the door. Quickly he stuffed the letter in the drawer.

"Come in," Blaine called, his voice still a bit shaky.

Rachel slowly pushed the door open.

"Hey, Blaine,"

"Hey, what's up?" Blaine replied, trying to look casual and calm as much as possible.

"Oh nothing, I just wanted to talk to you," Rachel began, sitting on Blaine's bed across from him.

"About what?"

"Well, you've kind of been acting strange lately. Sneaking around, going out a lot and not telling me where," Rachel rambled.

"Rachel, it's nothing," Blaine lied for about the hundredth time.

Blaine did his best to keep his voice from shaking. Inside he was freaking out, wanting to break down and tell his sister. He was probably still pale, and he knew Rachel noticed. Just from the way he was looking at him, it wouldn't be long till she was asking him many questions.

"Actually I was talking to Finn, and he-," Rachel began to explain but was cut off by Blaine.

"What? What did he say?" Blaine interrupted.

"Blaine, calm down. Finn just said that it was probably just guy stuff. That I wouldn't understand," Rachel huffed.

"Oh right, well again it's really nothing."

"Blaine, why don't you just tell me?" Rachel demanded.

"Tell y-you what?" Blaine gulped.

"I already know it's pretty obvious. You might as well just confess." Rachel ordered.

"It is?" Blaine asked. He looked down at himself, was it that obvious that he was gay?

"Rachel, just let me explain."

"Oh you have a lot of explaining to do," Rachel grunted, crossing her arms.

"I don't know what exactly to say to you. I'm, um not sure if I want to, b-but I really should," Blaine stuttered. "Rachel, I'm dating K-."

"I knew it!" Rachel interrupted. "You're sneaking around with someone. Well go one, who is she?

She, well this obviously meant that Rachel didn't know. Blaine breathed out, realizing that he would have nearly told Rachel that he was gay. Then he remembered the letter, he was going to have to soon.

"You'll find out soon enough," Blaine assured.

"Oh come on Blaine. I know it's been going on a while; you obviously really like this girl. Why don't you just tell me," Rachel insisted.

"This person is very important to me. That's why you're going to meet hi - um... this person soon."

Rachel bit her lip. She wanted to object, but decided to go with the information Blaine had given her. "Fine," Rachel grunted. "Will you be bringing her to the dance?"

"Dance?" Blaine asked.

"Yes Blaine," Rachel nodded slowly, "the Valentine's Day Dance."

"That's on? Again?"

"Every February Blaine, how did you miss all the posters around the school?"

"Oh crap, I completely forgot," Blaine groaned, dropping his head in his hands. Obviously the person who was blackmailing him was going to out Blaine at the dance. "When is it?"

"Three days," Rachel answered.

"Right, well I gotta go," Blaine told her, grabbing the letter from the drawer and running out.

"Did you know about the dance?" Blaine asked Kurt, dropping on the bed in Kurt's bedroom.

"Of course I knew about it," Kurt sighed. "It's not like we'll be going."

"I guess you're right," Blaine grumbled.

"Now tell me what's wrong."

Blaine was surprised at what Kurt said. He never told Kurt about the person blackmailing him, how did he know something was bothering him.

Blaine shrugged. "Nothing's wrong." Blaine lied, planting a smile on his face.

"Blaine, I know something's the matter. It's me you're talking to," Kurt replied, sitting next to Blaine on the bed.

"Fine," Blaine gave in. "Someone sent me this," Blaine said taking out the letter.

Kurt opened it, his eyes growing wide. "What is this?" Kurt gasped.

"Blackmail, I guess," Blaine answered. "Kurt, I don't know what I'm going to do!"

"Do you think this person is really going to tell?" Kurt asked. "He didn't exactly demand you give him money or anything at all.

"That's exactly why he is going to tell. He just finds my misery fun! Some jackass who will go out of his way to make someone suffer," Blaine exclaimed.

"Blaine, please don't be so upset," Kurt begged.

"Well how am I supposed to feel, Kurt? My life is going to be ruined."

"It's going to be better," Kurt assured. "Sure maybe there will be obstacles and it will be hard at the start, but you're finally showing people who you are, Blaine. The real you, no more hiding or sneaking around."

"I'm not ready, Kurt," Blaine said, tears welling in his eyes.

"You will never be ready. It's just something you have to do. Maybe now, a few weeks, maybe even ten years. Eventually you have to, and this person is just giving you an expiration date."

Blaine pulled Kurt in, first looking in Kurt's eyes, the blue - green color shining back at him. "Thank you."

"For what?" Kurt asked.

"For being you," Blaine breathed, then leaning in and kissing Kurt softly.

They lay against the bed, bodies pressed together. While Kurt had his head rested on Blaine's shoulder.
