Chapter Seven: The One with the Un-Identified Number
Their day out in New York had been good for both Blaine and Kurt. Wes had asked Kurt to help him pick out something to take back home to his girlfriend for her birthday, and after Kurt had refused three times, Wes had gone to extreme's, picking the ugliest thing he could find, knowing Kurt wouldn't be able to resist stepping in, which the counter-tenor did gracefully, whacking Wes over the head for picking something so atrocious for the woman he's supposed to be in love with. Blaine had just chuckled, and linked his hand with Kurt's as they made their way through the stores, the counter-tenor spinning his head around every second to make sure no one was following them, or staring at them. He may not be feeling well, but he can still make sure they're safe, and anyone that looks at them, or comes near them is going to hear about it from Kurt. They had reached a women's lingerie store, and were immediately yanked into the store by Wes, who hadn't wanted to go in alone, and had pulled David, who grabbed Nick's arm, who was holding Jeff's hand, who grabbed Blaine, who pulled Kurt into the store, each of the boys groaning as they realised where they were. Even Kurt cringed at the location, before Wes had linked their arms, and began pulling him around the store, asking what would look nice for his girlfriend, to which Kurt had punched his arm, and walked off towards Blaine and the others, who were looking oddly at the different types of lingerie.
Kurt chuckled at his boyfriend's face, before grabbing his hand, and pulling him out of the store, and into the crowded mall, which had somehow, in the last fifteen minutes, became almost as busy as Central Station. Blaine could feel his boyfriend tense beside him, the sudden gathering of people sending him warning signals, and pulling Kurt closer to him. The other guys were still in the shop, but Kurt and Blaine were heading back to the hotel, they don't need anything to happen today, especially when it's one of Kurt's bad days. They had just about made it to the exit when a woman accidently bumped Kurt's shoulder, and the boy practically flinched back into Blaine's embrace, curling into himself, and banging his fists against the wall they were closest to, as Blaine just stood by his boyfriend, trying to calm him down, and also text Wes as the same time. Kurt, on the other hand, was trying to contain the anger he was feeling, but the bout the bout of angst he was currently feeling, was overwhelming him, as was the urge to make the pain go away, and he's left the stress ball in their hotel room, not wanting Wes and the others to start making fun of Dr. Paul's methods.
'Kurt, babe you need to calm down,' Blaine said, placing an open hand on his boyfriend's shoulder
'Fuck, Fuck, Fuck, Fuck, Fuck, Fuck...'
'Kurt?'
'I'm... okay... Blaine...' Kurt said, breathing deeply, and banging his fist against the wall slowly, before turning to take Blaine's hand in his as the two hurried out of the mall
...
The walk back to their hotel gave Kurt time to calm down, and control his raging temper, all thanks to Blaine, who started talking about Disney and bouncing up and down like a five year old, the same way he does when Kurt was in one of his moods before he was diagnosed with depression four months ago. It seemed to loosen his boyfriend up, because Kurt was laughing and making jokes along with Blaine. It was a step in the right direction, considering the text message from the unidentified number the other day had set Kurt back a little, and even though they've talked about it heaps, Kurt is still a little scared, as is Blaine, but there is nothing they can't do together. Finn hasn't gotten back to him yet, but the fact of that, is because it's possibly one of Kurt's attackers trying to scare them. Puck had promised he'd help Finn find the number for Kurt, not because it was Finn asking. They were halfway back to the hotel when Blaine's phone buzzed with a text...
To: Blaine Anderson
Told you to watch your backs... You should have listened to me...
From: Un-Identified Number
Kurt took the phone from his boyfriend, reading the text, before quirking his eyebrow. Blaine just shook his head and shrugged, holding his hand out to Kurt for his phone, but the counter-tenor had other ideas. Kurt had stopped walking, and turned to face Blaine, twirling the phone in his hand.
To: Un-Identified Number
You want to take me, then fucking do it. I'd like to see you fucking try!
From: Blaine Anderson
Before Blaine could react, Kurt threw his phone into the street, watching as it smashed to pieces in the middle of the road, letting the cars run over it. Kurt was standing on the edge of the sidewalk, hands clenched in fists by his sides, Blaine just gaping beside him, not sure if he should be upset that his phone was smashed to pieces, or pleased that Kurt is finally embracing his emotions. Either way, he's now phoneless, and has no way of contacting anyone in their family or friends, and Kurt's phone isn't safe to be used, considering that whoever is stalking they could be tracking the phone. Kurt doesn't seem to care, which is what he says as he leads Blaine back to the hotel, not stopping until they reach the room, and they're inside where Kurt can scream, and fall to his knees on the floor of the bathroom, leaving Blaine once again, helpless to his boyfriend.
The past week had been good for Kurt and Blaine. Other than the warranted smashing of Blaine's cell, it had been a wonderful week. They (meaning all the Warblers) had arrived back at school all prepared to head to Regional's and beat the New Directions, who, according to Finn, had recruited enough members to get them there. Rory had quit, and joined Britt, Santana, Quinn, Finn and Puck in their little club, and Rachel had apparently been planning a surprise for Kurt, who had been a lot quiet lately, which was concerning to all the Warblers and Dr. Paul. Finn had been working on his Burt-Kurt-reuniting thing, and as far as any of them knew, it wasn't going as the jock had planned. Blaine didn't think that it was going to go the way he wanted anyway, considering that Kurt had tried to punch Wes the last time Burt had been brought up, and that was accidental. They hadn't even been back a week, and Cora was fussing over him. Kurt had only ever gone off at his aunt once when they first moved in, but to see it twice, it was heartbreaking, and even though they both apologised, Blaine had never seen his boyfriend act like that... He was slipping away from them, and it's getting worse...
Kurt's session that day was one of the harder ones for Blaine, listening to his boyfriend slipping backwards, talking about how he'd been wanting to cut so badly, to stop the fear and pain, and he'd been neglecting the stress ball because he didn't want to be laughed at... Blaine was hugging Kurt tightly, before kissing him once and turning back to tell Dr. Paula bout the texts from the Un-Identified number. This was surprising to the therapist who had been with Kurt for five months and never seen him slip this far.
'Kurt, promise me you won't self harm. Promise me, and Blaine,' Dr. Paul asked
'I promise... I'm scared,' Kurt replied, taking Blaine's hand
'Me too baby, but we've got the Warblers and Ex-ND members with us. No one will hurt you. I won't let them, and I love you,' Blaine said, kissing his boyfriend again
'When we get back, I want you to make love to me, prove it to me,' Kurt whispered to his boyfriend seductively
'Deal,' Blaine replied, kissing Kurt's cheek and smiling, rubbing their noses together in an Eskimo kiss.
...
The session ended soon after, and Kurt and Blaine linked hands, as they made their way out to the car, neither talking, all that they had to say, had been said in the office only moments ago. Kurt had been jumpy alot lately, and had started leaving the door open when he was alone in a room with someone other than Blaine. The car ride back to Dalton was done in silence, neither of the boys saying anything, Kurt curling into himself, resting his head against the window, silent tears running down his face. Blaine was watching his boyfriend, noticing the tears rolling down his face, hiding the pain he was feeling from him. Blaine sighed and pulled out Kurt's phone (which he'd borrowed until he gets his new one), sending a message to Wes.
To: Wes Montgomery
Put Elijah's plan into action. Need to cheer up Kurt, and let him know that we all still love him
From: Blaine Anderson via Kurt Hummel's phone
The Warblers had been planning this since the duo came back from New York, and Blaine had told them about the unidentified number. David had told Emmanuel, who told Elijah, and that lead to the twins coming up with this fool proof plan... well, to them it was foolproof, Blaine was just hoping it helped Kurt in some way. His boyfriend had slowly been going backwards since the performance with Brittany, and admitting to Blaine that he doesn't feel well alot of the time, and that the anti-depression medication he's taking isn't helping him the way it should be.
To: Blaine Anderson
It's all good to go. Just make sure you bring Kurt to the common room when you get back. Elijah is leading, so it will be interesting to see.
From: Wes Montgomery
Blaine shoved the phone back into his pocket, and looked back to the road, following the familiar roads back to Dalton, and one of the only places they were still safe from the rest of the world, and the prying eyes of the person who is stalking them, or sending them threatening texts. Finn and Puck have been working on their friendship, and they're both staying at Dalton with Cameron and Thad, the four of them have formed some kind of weird boy-band or something. Blaine just laughed when Cameron told him, but he wasn't in a laughing mood now. Kurt hadn't moved from his position curled up in his seat, until they got to the Dalton car-park, and they linked their hands as they walked up the stone steps, and into their dorm house, heading towards the common room. They hadn't even entered the room when Wes and the other Warblers started harmonising...
(A/N: Song not mine. See AN at the end. You should all know what it is anyway!)
When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
Blaine knelt down in front of Kurt, taking his hands, and looking him in the eyes... Hazel to blue, singing the next line, and earning a small smile from Kurt.
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Puck, Quinn, Brittany, Rory, Finn and Santana joined in with the Warblers to sing the chorus, each of them surrounding Kurt, some with tears in their eyes, others with love and happiness...
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Elijah and Emmanuel stepped out of the Warbler formation to sing the next verse, their voices harmonising together perfectly, just as twins do... Kurt smiled weakly at the sight of the twins singing solo, tightening his grip on Blaine's hand as he was pulled into the formation of Warblers by David and Trent...
And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth
Brittany kissed Kurt's cheek and ran off to stand with Santana, who wrapped her arms around her girlfriend's waist, her chin resting in the crook of Britt's shoulder. Finn and Puck sang the next chorus on their own, Kurt standing beside Blaine, watching his step-brother redeem himself once more...
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Rory and Quinn linked their hands with Cameron and Wes, turning to face Kurt, who was now in the centre of the Warbler/ex-ND members circle, an unknown emotion on his face as he held Blaine's hand tightly... the harmonising of the groups together sounding through the common room...
Tears stream down on your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down on your face
And I...
Tears stream down on your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down on your face
And I...
Blaine turned to face his boyfriend, singing the last chorus to him, using everything he had to convey to Kurt that he would do anything to help Kurt feel better, even if that meant doing nothing together...
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
There was silence in the room, and then clapping. The Warblers and ex-ND members turned to see Rachel, Tina and Mercedes standing in the doorway to the common room. Kurt was practically hiding behind Finn, his head sticking out just a little, as he held onto Blaine's hand. If Kurt didn't have depression, Blaine would have thought the action was adorable, but given his boyfriend's state, and the fact that ND were able to get past security, was making him think again.
'What are you doing here Rachel?' Finn asked his girlfriend.
'I think the more important question, is what are you doing singing with the competition? It's alright for them Finn, they all quit, you're still in Glee, and you never talk to me anymore,' Rachel said, stepping closer to Finn
'Not everything is about you anymore Rachel. I need to be here for my brother. I love him, okay, and he needs that right now. I love you, and Glee, but Kurt needs me right now,' Finn replied
'So you're choosing him over me? Finn, you always said that Kurt lied about the attack and that he deserves everything that he gets...'
'No, I said that about Jesse, you just didn't listen,' Finn said, walking out of the room, Kurt and Blaine right behind him
...
They didn't stop walking until they reached Kurt and Blaine's dorm room, Finn apologising for his girlfriend's behaviour before saying goodbye, and returning to the common room, where the ex-ND members and current ND members were engaged in an argument. Blaine closed the door, and pulled Kurt in a kiss, starting out softly, but slowly growing in passion, and before they could blink, Blaine was straddling his boyfriend on his bed, kissing the sensitive spot behind his ear, and undoing the buttons on the shirt he was wearing, whilst Kurt worked at Blaine's tie. Why on earth he has to wear this uniform everywhere, I'll never know... Kurt thought as he threw Blaine's blazer onto the floor, and started with the buttons on the white, Dalton issued Dress shirt. Kurt ran his hands up Blaine's back, making the curly haired boy shiver under the touch, kissing his way down to the waist band of Kurt's pants, smirking, before working the button and pulling the pants off, moving to remove his own, before Kurt flipped them, so he was straddling Blaine, the taller of the two letting the scent and touches from Blaine sink into his memory, the love, and Kurt's reason to live...
'You wanted to cut this morning didn't you?' Blaine asked, as the two boys curled up naked to each other, snuggled under the covers
'... You're my reason to live Blaine. I wanted to, but you kissed me and I remembered the love. I'm terrified Blaine, of everything, but I know that you love me,'
'I do, so much Kurt. In two months is Regional's, and then after that, if we win, it's Nationals, and then we'll be done, and we can get away from all of this,'
'I love you Blaine,' Kurt said, kissing his boyfriend's cheek, and snuggling into his embrace
Blaine kissed his boyfriend's cheek, and smiled softly, closing his eyes and letting the dreams wash over him... the ones before Kurt's attack, and before he was kicked out of the Hudmel residence...
The office was bland and boring and it was clear to Kurt that this man had no sense of interior design. Blaine had begged him to see this therapist, the same one who helped Blaine when he "divorced" his parents. After he'd tried to commit suicide last month, Kurt had been closed off, and depressed, and had been forced by the hospital and school to attend therapy, or be kicked out of the Warblers. Blaine had promised to go to every session with him, and make sure he was getting the help he needs. Blaine was worried about his boyfriend. The attack had almost killed both of them, and Kurt had promised his boyfriend that he would do everything he could to get better, and back to normal... well, as normal as possible... the session lasted only an hour, but in that hour, Kurt had come to the realisation that his depression wasn't going to go away overnight... it will be a long struggle... but as long as he has people that love him by his side, he will be able to get through it. The broken shell of Kurt Hummel was the only thing in the world that scared Blaine more than the homophobic bullies and his father. Kurt kissed his boyfriend's cheek as they walked out to the car, hand in hand, the silent promise between them that they would help each other through this...
Wes and the other Warblers had told Rachel, Mercedes and Tina that they were no longer welcome at Dalton, and that if any of them contacted Kurt or Blaine again, they would have to deal with the twins, who had led the three girls out of the common room, and house, and towards their cars, before telling security that they were to keep them out of the grounds, and that anyone else from New Directions (not including the ex members) who showed up, were to be dealt with by Wes and David. The head council member stuck his head around the door of Kurt and Blaine's dorm room, to see the two boys curled up to each other, sleeping, Kurt's mattered hair falling just over his right eye, as his head rested on Blaine's naked chest. Wes, would have done something stupid, but this would be the first time that Kurt has slept in ages, and he doesn't want to be the one to stop the poor boy from sleeping. Blaine had warned all of them about it not long ago... he didn't know that Puck and Finn were behind him, letting out a small yelp when he felt a hand on his shoulder, and Finn shoving a folder in his face.
'That information on the number you wanted. Got it from Coach Sue... she stole it from Schuster,' Puck said
'Whose is it?' Wes asked, flipping through the pages
'We need to tell them...' Finn said
'No, not yet... Kurt's in a bad place at the moment. Dr. Paul said he's going backwards, so we need to make sure he's going to be alright... this stays between us for as long as possible,' Wes said, turning to sprint to his and David's room to tell him the information.
A/N: Song is 'Fix You' by Coldplay... but it's sung by the Warblers in this one. Also, if anyone has any ideas for what I can call the ex-ND members, like a name for their new group, or club or something, let me know. I don't want to keep calling them 'ex-ND', it's kind of... meh. Hope you enjoy. JusticeIsn'tEasy0083. D.
