Chapter 4
The day of the big shopping trip has arrived and they all decided it be better to go shopping at the Westerville mall since it is bigger than the one in Lima. Carpooling was easy because Cooper and Kurt took both their Navigators for the trip.
"Ok, my car is car A since I'm older and I'm awesome with a capital A" Cooper started, "and Kurt's car will be car B since he's so unbelievably beautiful with a capital B."
The New Directions girls look at each other with confused looks but decided to just drop the subject.
"As far as seating goes, we have 10 people excluding drivers. The people riding in my car will be Mercedes, Rachel, Brittany, Santana and Tina which means Wes, David, Nick, Jeff and Blaine will be with Cooper" Kurt explained.
"Wait a minute" Blaine interrupted, "I'm not riding with you babe?"
"Well I thought that at first but then Cooper said that he wanted to have some brotherly bonding with you while we drove up to Westerville" Kurt replied.
"So you gave me up that easily? You're not even gonna fight for me?" Blaine joked.
"He did fight for you but I told him that it would be safer if neither driver would be getting road head on the way there and judging from what we saw yesterday, it's a distinct possibility" Cooper teased.
Everyone now laughed as Kurt being the only one quiet in embarrassment.
"Ok ok, can we get going please?" Kurt interrupted as everyone started entering the two cars. Both Kurt and Cooper opened up their sunroofs only to hear both vehicles stereos blasting completely opposite music. Cooper's speakers blasting Moves Like Jagger by Maroon 5 while Kurt's speakers blast out Shania Twain's Man! I Feel Like A Woman.
Time flew by fast as the teens drove quickly to their eventual destination. As they arrived in the parking lot of the grand mall in Westerville, Kurt and Cooper park right beside each other. The teens all get off and group up by the front door of the large mall.
"So are we splitting up into groups or are we going to roam in one large group?" Nick asked.
"Well I'm not splitting up with Kurt. God knows I'm not buying anything without the Kurt Hummel stamp of approval" Tina mentioned.
"Yeah, Yeah us too" the rest of the Glee girls chorused.
"Hang on, so does that mean we're splitting up between boys and girls?" Jeff asked.
"No. I'm not a girl" Kurt chirped.
"So what's the plan then?" Cooper asked.
"Anyone care if they're separated from Joan Rivers over here?" Nick piped.
"Why don't we just walk around together?" Blaine finally spoke up.
"Yeah let's just do that. Let's lead the way babe" Kurt answered as he linked his arm around Blaine's.
All the teens nodded in agreement and started to pair up, Rachel linked arms with Mercedes and Tina, Nick with Jeff, Wes with David, Santana with Brittany, and Cooper followed closely behind Kurt and Blaine. The teens started laughing and joking while window shopping as well. Suddenly, Kurt shrieked loudly causing everyone to look at him, "20% off everything in Armani!"
Everyone chuckled at Kurt's excitement and followed him in the store. Everyone started picking up pieces of clothing for themselves from all over the store. Nick and Jeff took two shirts to try on and sneaked off into the change room to make out. Wes and David picking out shirts for themselves laughing at each other's choices while Cooper looked at watches and Blaine looked at bowties. Kurt suddenly arrived at the counter with about at least 5 new shirts, 2 new pants, 3 vests, a belt, a cardigan, and 2 ties.
"um sweety, are you sure you need all of that?" Blaine whispered.
Mercedes quickly grabbed Blaine from the line of fire, "don't listen to him boo, just have fun" Mercedes whispered as Kurt stared at Blaine in shock of his boyfriend's question, "what the hell is the matter with you?"
"It just looks like he is shopping for another year's worth of clothing" Blaine answered.
"So? If you knew your boyfriend at all, you would not have asked such a horrible question" Mercedes scolded.
"Alright, I'm sorry" Blaine looked back to see the gleam in his boyfriends eyes as he took the shopping bag from the sales clerk.
After everyone paid for their articles of clothing, they all continued to walk around the mall. As they reached Victoria's Secret the girls quickly pulled Kurt in the store with them. The boys seeing this, decided to take this opportunity to sit on one of the benches. Blaine looked back and forth between the boys and his boyfriend before Wes and David pulled him to one of the benches they were occupying.
"Coop went to the Apple store. Spill. What's going on with Coop and Kurt?" Wes exclaimed.
"Nothing, well at least I hope it's nothing. They sing flirtatious duets together and they wink at each other playfully. Kurt says it means nothing and I do trust him and I want to trust him. It's Cooper I don't trust. And it just irritates me how Kurt can just let him talk like that. And what's more irritating to me is that Kurt is actually playing along with him when he knows how I feel about his "playfulness" with Cooper. And then I told him how he would feel if I was "playful" with Sebastian and he freaked cuz it's apples and oranges. And now, he's being very distant and I just want to tell him that everything changed since Cooper got here. I did get to fool around with him as you all know. I hate it. And now, I'm here in this stupid shopping trip because I'm babysitting him" Blaine finished looking at his friends frantic faces, "What?"
"You're babysitting me? I told you that if you didn't want to come you could have just stayed home. Are you worried I'm going to spend all my money? Or that you think I'm going to cuddle up to your brother while you're gone?" Kurt ranted as his voice got louder and louder, "am I that big a whore to you? Do you think I'm so unhappy with you that I would cheat on you with someone else? And then you complain that I was unreasonable when I said it was different with Sebastian? If you don't want me to talk to Cooper or anyone else in the Anderson family just say so. And whatever happened to complete honesty Blaine? I have never once talked to my friends about you before I talked to you. I am just so furious with you right now."
The New Directions girls quickly run to stand behind their now screaming friend when Mercedes spoke up, "What's going on?"
"We're leaving. NOW!" Kurt snapped as the girls followed him.
Blaine just sat there in shock just trying to figure out what the hell just happened. He was shook out of his haze when Wes and David started shaking him to run after the coiffed teen. Blaine jolts up to run after Kurt. When he reaches the parking lot, he just sees Kurt's Navigator screeching away. Blaine quickly pulls his phone out of his pocket and dialled his boyfriend.
"Pick up please" Blaine muttered as he repeated dialing every time it went to voicemail.
Cooper and all the other guys file out quickly to see Blaine with his phone clutched to his ear closely. Wes, David, Nick and Jeff quickly pull Blaine in for a comforting group hug as Blaine started to rub his head in frustration.
"What the hell happened squirt?" Cooper asked.
"You! You happened. I never had a problem with Kurt until you came along and started flirting with him. You caused all these problems and now, Kurt may just be on the verge of leaving me" Blaine barked.
"Whoa! Don't blame me for your own insecurities. You were so worried that I was going to snatch Kurt away from you that you just acted like a petty jealous douche. You acted like you didn't trust him. You obviously don't know how to communicate with your boyfriend from what we heard. I just smiled and flirted with him but you are the one who pushed it. You are the one who ranted about not wanting to come here and you complained about it when you got here. You have been acting so immaturely lately, I would judge Kurt if he didn't break up with you. All I did was pour lighter fluid in the grill; you threw the fucking match in. Don't blame me for your own damn insecurities" Cooper spoke back.
"Coop, it's kind of uncool that you would flirt with his boyfriend though" Wes remarked.
"It doesn't matter now. What we need to do is get home and hope that Kurt's angry driving still got them home safely" Cooper gestured as the guys started on their way to the car.
Meanwhile, Kurt parks the car on the side of the road when Mercedes finally convinced him that she should take over the driving cuz Kurt probably couldn't see passed the tears in his eyes. Once Mercedes took the wheel, Rachel sat beside her on the front passenger seat while Kurt sat in the back with Santana, Brittany and Tina. The three girls quietly shushed and whispered comfortingly to Kurt to try and calm him down. Kurt was now just a hysterical sobbing mess. It didn't help that Fefe Dobson's Stuttering was playing in the car speakers either.
Mercedes dropped each girl off to their respective houses when they arrive in Lima. When Mercedes parked in front of her house she looks at her best friend and spoke up, "wanna come in for some coffee? Or tea?"
"Thanks so much boo but I think I'm gonna head home. Blaine's been calling me non-stop and I think I should talk to him" Kurt said.
"Ok, I'll see you in class boo" Mercedes said as she stepped out of the car.
"Talk to you later" Kurt smiled weakly as he started to drive away.
When Kurt parks his car in the garage, he slowly drags himself back up to his room, ignoring the calls from his dad and Carole. He walked into his room and locked the door. Suddenly, his phone receives a text message.
To: Kurt
From: Blaine
You don't understand. I wasn't talking about babysitting YOU
To: Blaine
From: Kurt
That doesn't matter. You said you hated being with me. You had to force yourself to come shopping with us. You hurt me
To: Kurt
From: Blaine
I don't hate being with you. I hated it when you flirt with Cooper which I totally brought up with you.
To: Blaine
From: Kurt
Being with you is just stressing me out so much right now. I love you so very much but you are not making this very easy on me. First, you want me to meet Cooper and get to know him and befriend him. Now, you don't like me goofing around with him. What do you want me to do? I'm so confused.
To: Kurt
From: Blaine
I don't want to tell you what to do. I want you to do whatever you want to do.
To: Blaine
From: Kurt
Well I want to be friends with your brother but how can I be friends with him if you are gonna be so anal about it.
To: Kurt
From: Blaine
Why are you so damn naïve about it though? Can't you tell that he wants to take you away from me?
To: Blaine
From: Kurt
Don't you dare take that tone with me. And what if he wants to take me from you? I love you and him wanting to take me from you doesn't mean he's going to get what he wants. You are the Anderson I fell in love with. NOT HIM
To: Kurt
From: Blaine
It just pisses me off that you are letting him play around with my feelings.
To: Blaine
From: Kurt
And what's pissing ME off is that both of you are fighting over me like a cheap trophy. I thought I meant more to you than that?
To: Kurt
From: Blaine
You do. It's just that….. this is so confusing.
To: Blaine
From: Kurt
Let me help you out then. We need to take a break because this is not helping anyone.
To: Kurt
From: Blaine
What? I don't wanna lose you. Don't do this
To: Kurt
From: Blaine
Kurt?
To: Kurt
From: Blaine
?
To: Kurt
From: Blaine
I love you
To: Kurt
From: Blaine
Please answer me
To: Kurt
From: Blaine
Please don't do this. I don't want to lose you. This is the last thing I want. Please answer me. I won't give up on us. This can't be over. I'm not going to let this be it. This is not over. Please baby answer me…..
A river of tears flood down Kurt's cheeks as he read each text message coming from Blaine, fighting the urge to tell Blaine how much he loved him. But it was for the best.
19 missed calls
From: Blaine
Note: Don't kill me. i promise they will be together again soon but i just want Cooper to have a chance to date Kurt now. and Blaine will just be in the sidelines unable to do anything. but this is eventually going to be a klaine ending. also, i feel so bad for blaine, Kurt gave up too quickly. but i need him to do so for the drama. until next time!
