Chapter 4

On Friday evening a few days after kicking Blaine out of the loft, Kurt was having Adam over for dinner. Rachel and Santana were going into New York for dinner and a play, so Kurt was looking forward to some quiet alone time with Adam.

While he was cooking, there was a knock on the door. He opened the door, and saw Adam standing there holding a dozen roses and a bottle of red wine. He smiled and said, "Hello, Kurt." He kissed Kurt.

"Hi, Adam," Kurt said. "Come in."

Adam walked into the loft and said, "Thank you. These are for you." He handed Kurt the roses.

"Thank you, Adam," Kurt said. "They're beautiful." He kissed Adam.

"I brought a bottle of cabernet sauvignon," Adam said. "I hope that will go all right with whatever you're cooking."

"It's perfect," Kurt said. "I made a lasagna."

"That sounds wonderful," Adam said. "And it smells wonderful too. I'll open up the wine so it can breathe before dinner. Do you need any help?"

"No, I have everything under control," Kurt replied, as he handed Adam the bottle opener.

When dinner was ready, Kurt and Adam sat down at the table and started to eat.

"This is delicious, Kurt," Adam said.

"Thanks, Adam," Kurt replied. "Just make sure you save room for dessert. I'm making my rum chocolate soufflé."

"That sounds fantastically decedent," Adam said

"It is," Kurt replied with a smile.

"Kurt, I was wondering if you have plans for spring break next month," Adam asked. "If you don't have plans, I was hoping that we could spend the week together."

"I'm actually going to see my dad," Kurt replied. "My dad has prostate cancer, and he is having surgery that week so I'm going to see him."

"Oh, I didn't know your dad has cancer," Adam said. "Is it serious?"

"The doctors are hopeful that they can cure him," Kurt said. "But I worry about him because he had a heart arrhythmia a couple of years ago."

"If you don't think this is too forward, I would like to go to Lima with you that week so that I can be there to support you," Adam said. "If you don't want me there, I understand, but I would like to be there for you."

"It won't be much of a spring break for you, Adam," Kurt replied. "I'm just going to help my step mother Carole take care of my dad. I don't' want to ruin your final spring break."

"It won't be ruined if I'm with you, Kurt," Adam said. "I can help take care of your dad if you need me, and more importantly, I can be there to support you."

"O.K. Thank you, Adam," Kurt said. "I would love to have you come to Lima with me."

"Great," Adam replied.

When they finished dinner, Kurt said, "Go sit on the couch with your wine and relax while I clean up."

"Absolutely not," Adam said. "You made this amazing meal. I'm helping you clean up. Besides, the couch is too far away from you." He picked some dishes up off the table and followed Kurt to the kitchen. "I'll wash the dishes while you put the left overs away, Kurt."

Kurt said, "OK."

While they were cleaning up, Kurt's cell phone, which was sitting on the counter, kept vibrating every few minutes. He said, "I wonder why my phone keeps vibrating." He picked it up and said, "Oh my god."

"What is it, Kurt?" Adam said as he turned off the water and dried his hands. He walked over to Kurt.

"I have 37 text messages from Blaine," Kurt said. He read, "I just saw that bastard walk into your building. What the hell is he doing there? You know we are together. Why is he still there? You better not be cheating on me. The longer he is in there, the more angry I am getting." He started to shake.

"Don't read anymore, honey," Adam said, taking the phone out of Kurt's hand. "Sit down, honey. I'm going to make you some tea, and then we are going to call the police." He guided Kurt over to the couch.

"I thought he got the hint, Adam," Kurt said. "Why is he doing this?" His eyes welled up with tears.

"It's going to be OK, Kurt," Adam replied. "We're going to get a restraining order, and we're going to make sure he stays away from you."

"He's out there somewhere, Adam," Kurt said. "He's watching us. What if he tries to hurt you to get to me? Or Rachel or Santana? He's crazy, Adam." He started to sob.

Adam took Kurt's face in his hands and said, "Kurt, honey, listen to me. We aren't going to let Blaine hurt you, or any of us? It's going to be all right. We're going to get a restraining order, and make sure he stays away. I'll call the police now."

"No, let me do it, Adam," Kurt said. "I need to do this." He dialed 911, and told the police what was going on. They said they would send a cruiser.

Adam said, "I'll go make that tea for you know, sweetheart." He kissed Kurt, and went into the kitchen to make tea, and brought it back to Kurt. He said, "Here's your tea, Kurt."

Kurt said, "Thanks, Adam."

Adam sat down next to Kurt, and put his arm around him, and said, "I wonder if he ever went home, or if he's just been watching you all week."

"I'll call my brother and ask him," Kurt said. He dialed Finn's cell phone and heard Finn say, "Hey little brother." Kurt said, "Hi, Finn. I have a question for you. Has Blaine been in school this week?"

"No, he hasn't," Finn replied. "Principal Figgins hasn't been able to reach him or his family all week. Do you know where he is?"

"He's here in NY," Kurt replied. "He's stalking me. He showed up in my loft on Monday, and he's been sending me threatening texts. I just called the cops, and I'm waiting for them to come take a report."

"Are you all right, Kurt?" Finn asked. "He hasn't tried to hurt you, has he?"

"I'm a bit frightened, but he hasn't approached me since I kicked him out of the loft on Monday," Kurt replied. "He sent me a bunch of texts tonight because he saw Adam come here tonight. He refuses to believe that I'm moving on. He doesn't like that I'm with Adam now." He smiled at Adam and squeezed his knee.

Finn said, "Does Rachel know what's going on?"

"She doesn't know about the texts tonight, but she knows that we broke up," Kurt replied. "She's out in the city with Santana tonight."

Finn said, "Is your loft secure, Kurt? Are you and Rachel safe there?"

"I think we are," Kurt replied.

"Be careful, little brother," Finn said. "Do you want me to come stay with you?"

"Finn, you don't have to," Kurt said. "I know things are a bit weird between you and Rachel. We'll be safe." "OK, but if you need me, I'll be there for you," Finn replied.

"I know, Finn," Kurt said. "Thank you."

There was a knock on the door.

"I think the police are here, Finn," Kurt said. "I gotta go."

"Be safe, little brother," Finn said. "I love you."

"I love you too, Finn," Kurt replied. He hung up the phone, and went to get the door with Adam. There were two police officers at the door.

While Kurt and Adam were giving their statement, Rachel and Santana ran into the apartment slamming the door shut behind them.

Rachel said, "Kurt, what's going on? Blaine just followed us down the street from the train station. He was yelling at us about leaving you and Adam alone in the loft."

Kurt said, "Rachel, the police are here because Blaine sent me dozens of text messages. Did Blaine try to hurt you?"

"No," Rachel said. "He just yelled at us."

One of the police officers said, "Do you know what direction he went?"

Rachel said, "He tried to follow us into the building, but we were able to get the outside door shut before he came in. I didn't see where he went."

One of the officers said, "I'll go look around for him." He left the apartment.

Santana said, "That boy is crazy. I should have went all Lima Heights on him."

The other officer said, "Mr. Hummel, we will file your report this evening. I suggest that you go to court and request a restraining order on Monday. You should also consider staying at a friend's house for a few days until that restraining order is in place."

"OK," Kurt said. "Thank you, officer."Do you have any questions?" the officer asked.

"No, sir," Kurt replied.

"Call 911 if he attempts to gain access to your apartment again," the officer said. "Here is my card if you have any information to add."

"Thank you, officer," Kurt replied.

The officer left.

"Kurt, you can come stay with me until this blows over," Adam said.

"I can't leave Rachel and Santana here to deal with my crazy ex," Kurt replied.

"We can all go stay at my father's flat on the upper east side," Adam said. "He has two spare bedrooms."

"What do you think, Rachel and Santana?" Kurt asked.

"Blaine really scared me tonight, Kurt," Rachel said. "He looked crazy. He looked like he hasn't showered, shaved, or changed his clothes in a week."

"He's really snapped, Kurt," Santana said. "He doesn't even have gel in his hair."

"So do you think we should go stay at Adam's dad's place?" Kurt asked.

"I'm not sure we're safe here, Kurt," Rachel said. "Blaine was pretty scary."

"Are you sure your dad won't mind, Adam?" Kurt asked.

"Of course not, Kurt," Adam replied. "We'll just stay a few days until you have the restraining order."

"OK," Kurt said.

"I'll call my father and tell him we're coming," Adam replied. "Go pack what you'll need for the next few days."

Kurt, Rachel, and Santana went to start packing their things.

While Kurt was packing, Adam walked into his room and said, "I called my dad, and he let his doorman know we are coming. He is happy to let you, Rachel, and Santana stay with him as long as you need. Do you need a hand packing?"

"I'm just about finished," Kurt said. "Thanks for doing this, Adam."

"It's not a problem at all, Kurt," Adam replied. "I just want to make sure that you are safe."

Kurt closed his suitcase, and said, "Let's go see if Rachel and Santana are ready to go."

Adam picked up Kurt's suitcase off the bed and said, "OK."

When everyone was ready, they took a taxi into the city to go to Adam's father's apartment.
