A/N: Sorry for the really late update guys! For those of you who don't read my other fic, i mentioned that I've been busy getting ready for college and barely had anytime to type anything up. Please forgive me! :)

Hopefully this chapter makes up for the long wait!


Later that night they sent Kurt to bed in Blaine's room. After he was fast asleep, they gathered in the living room letting the events of the day sink in.

"I can't believe all this happened to Kurt." Nick murmured. "He must have been really scared." Jeff and Blaine nodded in agreement.

"He was probably too stubborn to ask for help." Jeff guessed, not unkindly. They all knew how Kurt was. He liked to be in control of things and very rarely expects help from others. That's why it such a surprise to him when they offered to let him stay with them.

"Well we'll have to help him out now." Blaine decided. "We need to help him get healthy again, then maybe help him get a job and go to school."

"Cut his hair. Give him a makeover." Jeff added on causing the other two to roll their eyes.

"Unless he asks for one you are not giving him a makeover." Blaine said adamantly. Jeff pouted.

"You never appreciated my makeover skills." he huffed.

"Honey, I think there's a lot more important things we have to help Kurt with before deciding to do a makeover." Nick told Jeff sweetly.

"Okay fine." Jeff sighed before realizing something. "Uhhh guys? We all have school tomorrow. Who's gonna be here with Kurt?"

"Well I don't have morning classes so I could stay with him." Nick suggested.

"I could just take off a day." Blaine said biting his lip. Jeff and Nick give him knowing looks. "What?"

"You want time alone with your old bestie." Jeff cooed. "How cute!" Blaine scowled at him.

"So? I just feel better if I could take care of him for a while." Nick and Jeff just continue to smirk.

"Sure Blaine. But you know you can't always miss school to be with him." Nick reminded him.

"I know that. I'm only missing tomorrow." Blaine assured him. "And possibly the day after." He mumbled.

"Blaine! He was our friend too. We would like a chance to help him as well." Jeff glared at him.

"Fine. But tomorrow is my day." Blaine said. Nick and Jeff rolled their eyes but nodded. They knew Blaine needed this. Blaine had been so broken when Kurt left. It's only fair that he'd get time to be with Kurt again.

"When are we going to tell the McKinley kids? I'm sure they would be glad to know Kurt's okay." Nick brought up.

"I think we should leave that decision up to Kurt." Jeff said. Some of them were their friends but they had no idea how much Kurt would want them to know.

"How about we get some rest and we'll talk to Kurt about all this in the morning." Blaine advised. Nick and Jeff nodded and they all headed to bed.


Blaine groaned when his alarm clock went off. He squinted and looked at the time before forcing himself off the couch. It was a good thing that it was a pull out couch or else his neck would have been ruined, he thought to himself.

He stretched his limbs before dragging his feet towards the bathroom to brush teeth and shower. Forty-five minutes later he heard Jeff's obnoxiously loud alarm go off and he shut the shower off.

"Change that alarm or I'm kicking you out of our room for a week." He heard Nick groan. The walls were very thin in their apartment unfortunately. He chuckled a bit before getting dressed and checking on Kurt in his bedroom. He stopped in the doorway just to look at Kurt for a minute.

He never expected to see Kurt again. And now here he was in his apartment after all this time. He wished it were under better circumstances but all that mattered was that Kurt was back. And he was going to help him be okay again.

"Blaine? Were you watching me sleep?" Blaine jumped at Kurt's drowsy voice. He didn't even notice Kurt had awakened.

"Oh sorry! I-I was just..really happy that you're here." Blaine decided to be honest, blushing a little bit as Kurt's eyes widen at the statement.

"W-what?" Kurt stammered.

"I really missed you Kurt." Blaine admitted to him and Kurt's jaw dropped a little.

"Y-you missed me?" Kurt whispered in disbelief.

"Of course I did Kurt. You were my best friend." Blaine told him softly. "I was kind of devastated when you left."

"Devastated? You cared about me that much?" Kurt asked him with wide guilty eyes.

"You know I did Kurt. We were inseparable and it hurt when you left." Blaine confessed. Kurt looked down for a few seconds before looking back up. He looked close to crying.

"I'm so sorry Blaine." Kurt whimpered. "I never meant to hurt you. I was so naïve to think that I could do this by myself." Blaine took this as his cue to move into the room and sit next to Kurt on the bed.

"It's okay Kurt. We're here to help you know. We aren't going to let you go through this alone." Blaine assured him. Kurt gave him a grateful look.

"Thank you Blaine." He said, not being able to find the words that summed up how thankful we was to have someone like Blaine around even after years of not seeing each other. "I'm gonna need a job. And a hair cut...and a makeover for that matter." At that moment Jeff busted into the room and Blaine and Kurt looked up startled.

"I could give you a makeover and a hair cut! And we could go shopping for clothes just like old times! It would be fun!" Jeff rambled. Kurt looked at him with wide eyes and couldn't help but laugh. It was almost as if he had never left.

"Kurt needs to get healthy first." Blaine said sternly. "Then you can drag him places Jeff." Jeff sighed sadly.

"He could give me the hair cut today." Kurt took Jeff's side. "I probably look like a sheep dog." Jeff smiled brightly at the opportunity.

"Pleaaaase Blaine?" He whined. Blaine sighed dramatically.

"Fine." He surrendered. Jeff cheered excitedly causing Kurt to giggle and Blaine to roll his eyes.


"Kurt how long have you been homeless?" Nick asked casually as they all ate breakfast together. Kurt froze in the middle of a bite of french toast and Blaine sent dirty looks Nick's way, which he ignored.

"I um.. maybe a year or so. I don't really remember. I kind of lost track of time." Kurt murmured, thinking about it.

"How long have you been in New York?" Jeff asked, trying to piece together what little information they had about Kurt so far.

"2 years I think." Kurt responded. They all give him confused looks.

"So..what happened?" Blaine decided to ask since Kurt was open to answering their questions.

"I had a bit of money at first. Enough money to get here and stay in a crappy apartment for a little bit." Kurt told them after taking another bite of food. "Then I tried to get a job...I had one for a while and it was terrible."

"How come you didn't stay with a family member or something Kurt?" Nick asked him.

"I couldn't stay in Ohio." Kurt said seriously. "I just couldn't. I lied to the hospital staff and some CPS workers about living with my aunt. They were suspicious about me, so a little while after my dad died I left Ohio." The boys all silently absorb the information they're receiving.

"So you left Ohio, moved to New York, lived in a shitty apartment, got a terrible job, and.." Jeff prompted for Kurt to go on.

"The diner I worked at barely paid me so I wasn't getting enough to pay rent or even by myself food. And then they fired me for making some tiny mistake on an order and soon I was kicked out of my apartment." Kurt recounted. They all look at him sympathetically.

"So you've been on the streets since then?" Nick asked him. Kurt shook his head, and took a sip of his coffee before speaking.

"Some people took pity on me and let me stay in a motel for a few nights and I sold the clothes I brought with me, which wasn't much, to get food. Soon I was completely broke and I just broke and went to a shelter thinking that would be better." Kurt said bitterly.

"It wasn't?" Blaine asked in surprise.

"A lot of shelters are overcrowded." He explained. "Not enough beds or food for everyone. If I saw a kid or a family come in I would give up my bed." He said with a shrug looking away from their incredulous looks. "Then I would just sleep where ever I could keep warm."

"How were you still looking after people when you had no place to go?" Nick asked in awe. Kurt was a selfless person when you get to know him. People used to think he was selfish because of how he presented himself but Kurt deserved to be selfish sometimes. Everyone did.

"I don't know." Kurt whispered. He truly didn't know. He was just going on instinct by then. "I guess I thought that maybe I deserved to be sleeping on the streets and they didn't. I was in a really bad place back then...and still now. No one helped me after that, and if Blaine wouldn't have found me I would've kept living like that until I either froze of starved to death." Kurt's eyes darkened at this. He looked sad and angry at the world for being so cruel to him. People would always say that life was supposed to be rough and unfair. Which is true but there is no reason anyone's life should end up like this.

"Not all people are that heartless Kurt." Jeff pointed out meekly.

"Someone probably would have found you sooner or later and offered you food." Blaine said, ever the optimistic one.

"People always claim that they want to help those in need, but never actually do it. Maybe they'll help out in soup kitchens or send money somewhere but if they see someone on the street, very little people would actually try to help them out." Kurt argued and looked at each of them with cold eyes. "I hadn't eaten in weeks until you brought me here. I was reduced to begging and I admit I stole some stuff from a grocer but most of the time it was the only way." They all look at him in shock.

"Shit Kurt." Nick swore. "We had no idea."

"We're so sorry." Jeff said with watery eyes, squeezing Nick's hand tightly under the table.

"Kurt." Blaine whimpered, running his hand through his unruly hair. "Fuck, I'm so sorry you had to go through that." Kurt took a deep breath to calm down. He didn't mean to make them feel bad about what happened to him.

"It's okay guys. It was my fault anyway." He beat himself up internally. "If I hadn't been such an idiot after I dropped out then none of this wouldn't have happened."

"Stop blaming yourself Kurt." Blaine said immediately. "Yes, you made some mistakes but everyone does. You felt like you had to suffer alone and that's what happened." Kurt was looking at Blaine intently as he spoke. "But you're here now and we're gonna make sure nothing like that ever happens to you again. There are good people in this world Kurt. Don't lose faith just yet." Kurt almost smiles at him before Jeff begins slowly clapping.

"Another wonderful pep talk from Blaine Anderson. You know if this whole singing thing doesn't work out you could be a motivational speaker." Jeff teases him.

"And if you stay here any longer you're gonna be late for class." Blaine grits through his teeth. Jeff looks at the time and bolts out of his seat. He gives Nick a quick kiss on the lips and gathers his belongings.

"I'll cut your hair when I get home Kurt!" He yells before running out the door. Kurt laughs at him.

"Well he hasn't changed one bit." Kurt said sounding amused.

"Sadly." Blaine jokes and Nick casts him a playful glare.

"Okay you two. How about we slack off a day and watch some movies." Nick suggests.

"Frozen?" Blaine perks up. Nick rolls his eyes.

"You just want to sing Let it Go." Nick mumbles but goes to get the movie anyway.

"It's an amazing song. Right Kurt?" Blaine asks Kurt who looks at him apologetically.

"Uhhh what's Frozen?" Kurt asks and Blaine will not admit the embarrassing squawk he released when he heard those words.

"Come on, we must educate you." Blaine said grabbing his hand and dragging him to the couch.


Jeff came home to loud singing and two people jumping around the room. He looked for his boyfriend who was looking at Kurt and Blaine with a smirk on his face.

"How long have you guys been watching Frozen? Nick sent me a text about it hours ago." He asked them. Kurt and Blaine didn't stop their singing to acknowledge him.

"This is the third time Jeff. Kurt knows all the songs now. They they rewind it to hear Let it Go three time each time." Nick complains halfheartedly. Jeff looked at them, now singing Do You Want To Build a Snowman.

"Just like old times huh?" Jeff smiled at them. Nick smiled despite himself.

"Yeah. Just like old times."
