A/N: Here it is! I hope that it was worth the wait! I am truly sorry for putting it up so late. (haha that rhymes:) ) It's a bit longer than the others so I think it kinda makes up for it. So without further ado, Stuck in the Middle Chapter 4! ENJOY!:D


As he got home, he brushed the fresh snow off of his coat and slowly made his way downstairs, not even caring to say goodnight to his father. Burt's gaze followed worriedly at his son's form going up the stairs. He sighed heavily.

Why can't the world make his son happy for once?


The next morning came and Kurt woke up with a pounding headache from all the crying he's been doing. It seems like it's all he's been doing in the past few days. He checked his phone and saw that there were 16 text messages from Blaine, which were probably wondering if he got home safely. On normal occasions, Kurt would've squealed like a little school girl and reply immediately. But this wasn't a normal occasion. So instead, he deleted all the messages without reading them and he shoved his head on his pillow as he groaned in annoyance.

Eventually, he got up and showered, trying his best to wash all of the happenings away from his mind and body. He put on his uniform and smoothed out the wrinkles. Kurt felt so depressed that he didn't even bother fixing his hair. After gathering his schoolbag and phone, he slowly climbed up the stairs and out of his basement bedroom. He decided to skip breakfast so that he could leave early and maybe do some catch-up work in the common room before it gets filled with students.

He turned his phone on, only to find 5 more messages from Blaine and. The countertenor let out a tired sigh. Kurt opened all the messages with hopes of getting rid of the heavy weight on his chest.

From: Blaine

To: Kurt

Kurt? Where are you? Please answer me.

From: Blaine

To: Kurt

Did you make it home? Are you safe?

From: Blaine

To: Kurt

Ohmygod. Please reply, Kurt. I'm freaking out.

From: Blaine

To: Kurt

Did I do something wrong? Are you mad at me? If you are, that's fine just let me know if you got home so I know you didn't get beat up or anything.

From: Blaine

To: Kurt

Please please please answer me. I'm sorry for whatever I've done. I just need to know you're safe, Kurt.

Kurt shook his head while reading all the texts from Blaine.

"If he was so worried, then he would've followed after me and gave me a ride. But no, he wanted to stay with Gale and drink espressos, talking about Milky Way galaxy and all that" he muttered in a bitter tone.

He got out of the house and slammed the front door. The brunette got in his Navigator and started breathing in and out. He had to calm down if he wanted to get to Dalton safely. He started the car and soon he was driving on the highway to his prestigious school.


Kurt avoided the two like the plague the whole day. He kept his head down whenever he shared a class with one of them, he went to the library when it was time for lunch and he passed through the rarely used hallways in a mission to not bump into one of them.

Soon enough, it was time for the last classes of the day, which meant Warblers for Kurt. He had the sudden urge to face palm. He hadn't thought of that. It was going to be impossible to avoid them during that class. He would probably be bombarded with questions asking, "Where were you?" or "are you avoiding us?". Kurt honestly didn't know what to answer to those.

Turns out, he didn't have to worry about it because he saw Blaine and Gale passing in front of him, giggling and running and wait. Are they holding hands? Kurt's heart fell. He soon felt hot tears springing from his eyes.

He should've known better. Of course he wasn't missed between the two. They had each other to worry about. They probably didn't even notice that he was avoiding them. They probably also didn't notice that the usual spark in his eyes were gone. They probably didn't notice the bags under his eyes. They probably didn't even know that they just passed by him like he was invisible.

They might not notice it but Kurt definitely does. He's been doing most things alone in the past few days like studying, getting coffee and yes, talking too. He's feeling so lonely already. Gale and Blaine were his only real close friends and now that he was feeling like a third wheel to them, he felt like he was just another head in the sea of navy blue and red.

Right now, what Kurt really needed was to clear his head. But the late bell will be ringing soon and as much as he didn't want to see Gale and Blaine being so close , he's not going to skip classes. With that in mind, he wiped the tears away as best as he could and ran to the choir room. He stopped in front of the large oak doors and took a deep breath.

I can do this


Warblers' practice was spent with Wes banging his gavel every other minute , Nick suggesting Uptown Girl again and again, David hitting his forehead on the table repeatedly, Thad dozing off, Jeff looking at Nick with hearts in his eyes, Blaine and Gale making small talk and Kurt zoning out while stealing glances at Blaine who looked beautiful under the sunlight that was coming from the big window in the choir room.

The bell finally rang and Kurt was the first to go out. He had to get home and have a lady chat with Mercedes about all the drama that's been happening in his life lately. He finally reached the parking lot and as he was walking towards his Navigator, he heard two voices calling him.

"Hey Kurt! Wait up!" Gale said almost breathlessly

"Yeah! Wait for us!" Blaine added, sounding as breathless

So Kurt stopped and waited for them.

"Hey, let's hangout!" the dark haired boy suggested, putting his hand on the younger boy's shoulder.

"No. I-I c-c-can't 'cause I-" Kurt stuttered while Blaine and Gale rolled their eyes at the same time as if practiced. They started to grab both of Kurt's thin but built arms and literally dragged him across the parking lot to where Gale's BMW was waiting.

"Whether you like it or not, you're coming with us." Gale stated with a small laugh.

Kurt, who seems startled about the matter, couldn't do anything so he instead let himself be dragged by the two stronger boys.

After about 20 minutes, they pulled into the Lima Bean parking lot. When they got inside said coffee shop, the aroma of freshly roasted coffee beans instantly surrounded them. They all inhaled deeply and let out a content sigh. The three warblers soon got settled, and started drinking their coffee.

Once again, Gale and Blaine were talking about…something. Kurt didn't bother to listen because he knows that they're probably talking about football again. What he didn't know was that this time, they were talking about prom.

"So who are you going with, Kurt?" Gale asked

"What?" Kurt replied, clearly surprised that he was actually part of the conversation

"Who are you going to prom with?" Blaine repeated

"Oh." Kurt contemplated the question for a while. He wanted to ask Blaine but clearly the dark haired boy wanted to ask Gale. Maybe he shouldn't go. It would be so pathetic of him to go without a date. Or in other words, stag.

"I –" the countertenor tried to say but Blaine cut him off

"Is that Rachel and Mercedes?" he asked. And sure enough, Rachel and Mercedes came walking towards their table when Kurt turned around to look.

"Hey Kurt! The New Directions are having a party in my house and since you're the best singer after me and Mercedes here, you're invited!" Rachel exclaimed

Kurt just nodded albeit reluctantly. He then sent the universal signal for help-me-I'm-dying-here look to Mercedes, hoping she would get him out of this. Unfortunately, Mercedes has never encountered said look and had mistaken it with a hello-are-you-blind?-are-these-two-beautiful-guys-beside me-invisible? look.

"Oh how rude of me, would you guys like to come to?" Mercedes said, giving a sly wink to Kurt. Kurt face-palmed.

"Yeah! That would be awes-" Blaine was cut short by Gale

"So uh is there gonna be alcohol?" Gale asked, with thoughts running through his head like getting Kurt drunk and-yeah. Those kinds of thoughts. A mischievous smile grew on the blonde boy's face. Blaine, noticing that evil grin Gale was wearing, shrieked a little.

"Yeah. Wouldn't be a party without it." Rachel answered confidently

Oh where was the innocent Rachel Berry that I have known and sort of loved? Kurt thought to himself.

"Ok then. The three warblers are officially in." Blaine said, already bouncing on his seat, clearly excited.

"Terrific! My house at 9:00 pm. See you guys there!"

And with that, the two girls got their orders and took off.
