Blaine awoke to the sound of clattering pans coming from downstairs of what had become his weekend home. Lifting his head off the pillow he rubbed his eyes to try wipe the sleep away before looking around the room, as he did so he felt a knot form inside. It had been over 2 weeks since Kurt was admitted to the hospital and there has been no change in his condition. 2 weeks ago Burt had opened his house to Blaine and so he had been staying at the Hummel-Hudson residence on weekends. Since the house only had 3 bedrooms though Blaine was staying in Kurt's room, on the first night Blaine had felt uncomfortable but as he fell into unconsciousness he inhaled the sweet smell of the boy he loved and for the first night since the incident he slept peacefully and dreamt good dreams. From that night on Blaine had no trouble falling asleep in this room but the downside was that when he awoke he was reminded of the reason why he was in this bed and where the person who should be in it currently was.

Signing Blaine got up, quickly dresses and made his way downstairs to the kitchen where carol was currently working on making breakfast when he walked into room carol looked up and smiled at him.

"Good morning Blaine" she greeted brightly.

Blaine smiled back warmly, carol had been so kind to him and Blaine had to admit that it was nice having someone worry about him. Being at a boarding school meant that Blaine was away from his own parents for most of the year and even when he was home they were always busy with work. He didn't know what it was like to have someone fuss about him, about how much he's eaten, if he slept well and if he's warm enough. But the truly weird thing was how Carol made Blaine feel like part of the family even though to them he was just a good friend of Kurt's, she kept giving Blaine little glances and smiles as if she knows how he feels about Kurt. That he's in love with Kurt.

"…Burt finally got to sleep around 3 this morning" Blaine was startled out of his own mind to realize that carol had been talking to him and he hadn't realized. "I thought it would be best to let him sleep this morning, he won't be happy when he wakes but I think his health is more important and Kurt of course Kurt will not be happy if his father isn't 100% when he wakes up." Carol put a plate of food in front of Blaine still smiling. Blaine had marvelled at Carol's ability to mention Kurt and not make him or anybody else for that matter, feel sad in remembering where Kurt is right now. She's the only one who also seems to be able to talk about him.

Carol, noticing Blaine's gloomy mood, placed her hands upon his. When he looked up at her she gave him a sad but encouraging smile "he's going to be fine" she said certainly "He's the strongest boy I know." Removing from her hand from on top of his he straightened her up and continued sternly "Now, you're going to cheer up and eat your breakfast. When Finn is up your both going to join Mercedes, Rachel and a few others and get out of this house. And you are going to enjoy it and have fun. Understood?"

Blaine just stared at the women before meekly agreeing, although he really didn't want to go out, he had a feeling that arguing would have been futile. He just wanted to stay by Kurt's side until he woke up but knowing carol and Mercedes that wasn't going to happen. Blaine thought that Kurt probably regretted the day he brought Mercedes over and introduced her to carol, they like a mother hen superhero team.

Kurt had been lying on his bed when the knock came at his door, he ignored it. He knew who it was and he didn't want to see them. After a couple of seconds a piece of paper was slide under the door but Kurt had stayed on his bed. The past weeks had been torture, Blaine had decided that Kurt couldn't be trusted to be alone and so made him board at Dalton. Kurt had felt that his one sanctuary was taken away from him. The one place where he was safe from the torment he was being put through. When Kurt didn't think anything could get worse he rung home just for his dad to tell him that he thought it best that he not call. He said that it was time for Kurt to learn to take care of himself and that it would be for the best if he didn't come home for a few weekends. Blaine was right, he was unlovable. But Blaine loved him he was always looking out for him.

Kurt had done all that Blaine had asked of him, he gave up his solo, quit the Warbles, started boarding at Dalton and even stopped talking to new directions. All in the hope that Blaine would be how he used to be. How he was in his dreams. He wanted him to talk to him the way he does every time he closes his eyes. Kurt knows that these were just dreams but they felt so real more real than his actual life.

Kurt had been spending more time in his room hoping to dream of kind words again, and he did. Usually he heard his dad and Blaine, they just talked to him, they let him know he was loved. He's also been dreaming a lot about new directions on and off. Whenever he thinks of them he feels guilty though. He left them, ignored them. All because Blaine told him too.

Signing Kurt got up off of his bed and picked up the piece of paper, he unfolded it and read what it said:

Meet in the Parking lot, tonight 8 o'clock. It's time for you to wake up.

Kurt had never been more confused than he had in that moment, the note was unsigned but Kurt recognised the handwriting. It was his own.

By the time Blaine was halfway through his breakfast Finn came down and started on his own they then made they were to Mercedes house where they were apparently picking up her and Rachael for a trip to the mall.

"We're meeting Puck, Mike and Tina at the mall" Finn had told Blaine in the car and sure enough 20 minutes later there were now 7 of them. It seemed that all of them felt the same as Blaine, that been in a mall while Kurt was in the hospital was sacrilege. After 5 minutes of wondering around like a group of lonely ghosts Mercedes had had enough. She tore into them like never before.

"You're all wondering around as if he's dead."

"Mercedes, it's ha-"Finn had started to say started

"Shut it white boy! Kurt is NOT dead. He's not going to die."

"We know that Mercedes."

"No you don't Rachael. None of you do. If you did you wouldn't be looking the way you do. Right now I am ashamed of all of you. Do you really think Kurt is that weak?"

"Hell no" puck walked to stand besides Mercedes to the surprise of the rest of the group "she's right guys. Kurt's one of the toughest guys I know. Not physically like, sometimes I'm tempted to hit him with a paper ball to see if he'll go down like a sack of potatoes. But you know, inside he's tough."

Rachael smiled "He will be angry when he finds out we went to the mall and didn't buy anything."

With Mercedes pep talk in mind the group shopped like never before, only Kurt in an alexander McQueen sale could put them to shame. Not one of them could say afterwards that they did enjoy it. Most surprising of all was that not only did Blaine feel like he was one of the group but he too was starting to smile.

Half an hour later and the group found themselves in the food court laughing hysterically and a story that was currently being told by various different people.

"Seriously he just like lost it." Rachael stated, interrupting Mercedes.

"I wouldn't have thought Hummel had it in him."

"Let's just be glad it wasn't Beyoncé or lady Gaga."

"I dread to even think what he would have done then." Mercedes said laughing.

Blaine joined in with the laughter "so what did he do?"

"stop being so frickin' up tight all the time!" Finn said doing the worst Kurt impression ever.

The group burst into laughter, nobody noticed that one of them had stopped laughing and had gone deathly pale while staring at a small group of boys across the food court.

"Blaine?" Mercedes asked, slowly the other stopped laughing and looked concernedly at curly haired boy "what's wrong?"

"It's them" suddenly his face turned red with rage "They're the ones who attacked us"

Once that sentence had left Blaine's lips there was a flurry of movements, Finn who had been closer to the group of boys charged at them, with fists ready he hit one of them in the face making him stubble backwards into his friend's.

"What the fuck Hudson?" the boy exclaimed

"Dude, look!" said one of the others nodding towards Blaine who was now behind Finn with the others "it's the other fairy."

"It was you then?" Finn said before the guy had chance to say anything to Blaine "you attacked them?"

The boy smiled "Just gave them what they asked for. Heard Hummel was in the hospital, stupid fag couldn't take it."

Then all hell broke loose. At first the girls had tried to break the fight up but they soon realized that that wasn't going to happen. Rachael had started crying once she noticed that there was blood on Finn's face.

"HOLD IT!"

The boys looked up to see the security guards running down the escalators, the fight immediately stopped the group ran to the exit.

Kurt had had a bad day. Once he had finally left his room he had gone to the library to try get some work done. Blaine had found him and he wasn't happy. He had wanted to know why Kurt had been avoiding him. Spending all of his time in his room instead of with him, that's when he turned. Blaine had raised his hand into the air before bringing it crashing down into Kurt's face.

Now Kurt was sporting a black eye and nobody seemed to notice, he stared at it in the mirror his eyes cold. He had begun to stop caring. How had his life turned into this? It seemed like one day everything was great and he was content and happy and then the next he was in this nightmare that he can't escape from, his only solace was in the sweat caring words he heard within his head. Especially when he heard Blaine say those 3 words.

Signing Kurt got up from his seat and made his way to his door and made his way to the car park. He had been shocked and confused by the letter at first, the handwriting was unmistakeably his own, but he thought he was looking in to things too much. Blaine could have copied his handwriting maybe as another way to take away apart of his identity. No matter what the reason was Kurt knew that he had to meet him especially after what happened today.

Kurt arrived at the car park and made his way to his car only to stop dead in his tracks when he saw it. Something was scratched into it, big letters covered the entire left side of the car. Kurt could see that something was scratched into his car but the weird thing was that he couldn't tell WHAT was scratched into it. It's like his mind was stopping him from comprehending what was in front of his eyes.

"You need to wake up"

Kurt looked to the back of his car where the voice came from and he saw a shadow of a person start to move from behind his car.

His heart began to beat faster.

His hands began to sweat.

His feet were frozen in place.

The person got closer.

"Hello Kurt"

Kurt gasped.

He was staring into bright blue eyes that he knew well.

He was staring at himself.

Authors note:

SORRY!

I am on my knees begging for forgiveness. It has been way too long since I last updated, so again, sorry.

This chapter has been one big pain in the arse. It started as one thing then turned into another. It was meant to be a filler type chapter but in the end there was a fight and a bit of a cliff-hanger ending. Now if the next chapter turns out how I plan then we will finally find out what actually happened to Kurt and what's happening in his mind, 10 cookies to anyone who can guess.

I will like to apologise again to you all and I would also like to give everyone who reviewed/alerted this story a BIG thank you and a hug.

I know it's been 3MONTHS?

Okay I will never take this long to update if I can help it, ever again.

When this story is over I will be going through it all and make the appropriate edits. So I must apologise to you again for the spelling and grammar.

So far it seems happy ending it is.

xSlythStratasfaction: I am so sorry that it was confusing. Normal Blaine is not like dream Blaine, why the dream Blaine is how he is will be revealed in the next chapter I hope. I'm making it sound all interesting but it's not really :D I am hoping for Klaine Fluff too. I love Klaine fluff. But this story wasn't meant to be as depressing as its turned out so I can't say how fluffy it will be. I hope for very fluff, nice and comfortable.

Wow I've said sorry a lot in this authors note. Sorry :p

Thank you again for all your kind words, I hope this chapter was worth the wait. If not, feel free to tell me so.
