Perfect is over-rated chp4
"Why now? I know I came out and all that but why do I need to contact someone I haven't talked to in 7 years? I don't know Kurt, what if it's not the right number or what if he doesn't remember me?"
"Blaine just call him please!" Kurt almost yelled. His voice was sterner than it had ever been and I was taken back by his tone. I looked into his glimmering eyes with my ever so slightly wider eyes. I nodded as I couldn't seem to find the right words to respond to him with.
I pulled out my phone and stared at it as I moved my shaking fingers over the screen and tapped on the contact of Kurt Hummel.
I looked up at Kurt one more time for reassurance to be met with a comforting smile and a squeezed hand. He got up off of the bed and left the room and I listened to his steps synchronise with the rings on my phone.
My breath hitched when I heard the same angelic voice I had heard all those years ago. "Hello? Kurt Hummel speaking."
"Kurt….It's uh me, Blaine Anderson?" My breathing was deep and my heart was pounding with anticipation of what would happen after this phone call.
"Blaine. As in the one from school? Is it really you? We haven't been in contact with each other for years" I chuckled slightly.
"The one and only." I said lightly. I could hear a gasp and something vaguely similar to crying but I couldn't be too sure as it sounded muffled.
"Oh my, Blaine! I missed you since you transferred." I could hear him choking back sobs in between a few sentences.
"I…you remember me? After all these years?" I could barely make out those few words as I was now crying down the speaker.
"Yes of course. How could I forget my best friend?"
My best friend from all those years ago who I had lost connection with, was finally talking to me again and he remembered me! I wasn't as alone as I had thought. After all these years, he had kept me in his mind. But we didn't know anything about each other apart from what we knew in our old school.
"Um I don't know where you are now or if you moved or…"
"Blaine, I haven't moved from my old house."
"Me neither."
"Good. Sorry, continue."
"Oh um would you like to meet up some time?" I was blushing slightly because the crush I had on my best friend years ago was returning and I could feel it creeping up along my neck and cheeks.
"I'd really, really like that."
"That's great. I'm really excited. I haven't felt this happy since I met the boy on my doorstep."
"What boy on the doorstep? Is he your boyfriend?"
"What! No, just a friend, this boy, his names Kurt actually, turned up on my doorstep and ran away from home, but anyway I'll tell him about you later."
"Well, you better go answer the front door because there is another boy waiting outside."
"What?"
"I'm at your house. I still remember." I couldn't reply as I jumped off of my bed, ran down stairs and to the front door. The anticipation was building up inside of me and I was overwhelmed with excitement. I reached for the door and turned the handle down, pulling the door towards me to be welcomed with….Kurt? The boy that had turned up a few weeks ago? Where was my best friend? He said he was here.
Kurt stood there in the clothes I saw him in a few minutes ago but he had a phone pressed to his ear and he spoke a few words into the phone that were repeated a second later from the speaker in my phone.
"You're Kurt Hummel?"
He nodded slowly with a big smile stretched across his face.
I thought I would feel different when I met my long lost best friend. That I would feel happy, safe and excited. But these feelings were different; hurt, angry and betrayed.
The scarf, the eyes and the loss of his best friend. It all made sense now. How could I be so oblivious? I had photos of him on my phone but I didn't look at them because I was so distracted by this boy that turned up on my door step spontaneously.
"You're my best friend. Or should I say were?"
"Blaine please, let me explain." His smile was changing slowly into a frown and the tears were forming in his bright eyes.
"No Kurt. You listened to me go on and on about loosing my best friend and you were him all along? Do you even have those family troubles or was it all a plan to meet me again? I thought I could get over my best friend when you arrived but now that I find out that you're him I just feel betrayed. I trusted you Kurt. I spoke to you in confidence; I even came out to my parents because of you… I thought you were my friend."
"I still am, I…"
"No Kurt. Just… don't." He walked into the house but I pushed past him and ran to my car. I remembered where his house was and quickly left in my car.
My destination: The Hummel's house.
