Chapter eight
Blaine snapped his fingers in front of my face. I blinked and looked up. He frowned slightly. We were sitting at the café in the zoo. I came to see him to go eat lunch later, and we took a pit stop to grab some coffee. "You okay, Kurt?"
I nodded. "Yeah. I'm fine." Our coffee came and we stood, smiling a thanks and leaving. Truth was, I was going insane. So much had happened. I missed him every day too. Is that what love feels like? Hurting like hell when they're gone? Blaine gently took my hand and gave it a squeeze as we exited to his car. "Are you sure?"
I nodded again. He let go of my hand and went to unlock his car's doors. I got in and we sat there for a second. "What's really bothering you Kurt?"
I sighed. Better now than never. And that's when I opened my mouth and the truth came out, right after I said. "Just, start heading over to wherever we're going. I'll tell you on the way."
By the time we got to the little restaurant, I was in tears and Blaine had a shocked and angry face. "So, you were engaged?"
I nodded, unable to form words and wiping away my tears rapidly.
"And he just…didn't show up?"
I nodded again, wishing my tears would go away. Suddenly, Blaine's hand found my cheek, wiping away some of the tears and offering me a smile. "Don't cry. Trust me, if he couldn't see how wonderful you are, he doesn't deserve you."
He handed me a tissue and I smiled. "That's what Mercedes said."
He grinned. "And she's absolutely right! Now, let's get going. I made reservations and everything!"
I laughed at his enthusiasm and got out. At least what's out of the way.
I sat in class, mindlessly tapping my pencil on the table when something hit my hand. I blinked and looked and the folded piece of paper and opened it carefully, making sure the teacher wouldn't catch me.
You seem bored.
I smiled and looked up to find Justin's green eyes smiling back at me. I looked down and scribbled out.
I am! Can he talk any longer?
I quickly passed it to Justin as casually as I could. He smiled when he got it and snorted a bit. He scrawled out:
Apparently.
I rolled my eyes and suddenly I realized the room had gone I silent. I looked up. "Mr. Hummel, is there something you'd like to share?"
I shook my head and shoved the paper in my pocket. The teacher went back to his lecture and I sent Justin a glare as he smirked a bit and then gave me a wink. I stuck my tongue out and crossed my arms, not giving him another glance the whole time.
We walked to my hotel room in silence. "Thanks, Blaine. I had a good time."
Blaine smiled. "Well that's good. At least I could help you get your mind off of things."
I realized Blaine hadn't held my hand to lead me outside after we ate. In fact, he was barely keeping my gaze. I stopped in front of my door. "Well, I'll see you tomorrow?"
Blaine winced and rubbed the back of his neck. "I have to work late with Jeff tomorrow…"
I blinked. That was a first. I quickly stuttered out, "Then can you both come over for supper tomorrow?"
Blaine looked up from the ground and smiled. "Sure. I'll be there."
I grinned. "Thanks!" I quickly gave him a hug and knocked on the door. "Bye."
Blaine waved. "Bye."
And with that he walked off. Suddenly, Mercedes pulled me into the room. I shrieked and she laughed. "So, how did it go?"
I shrugged and went to sit down. "I told him."
"About?"
"Justin."
Silence filled the room. Mercedes sat down next to me and took my hands. "And?"
I shrugged. "He was fine with it I guess. He was acting a bit off though. I don't know…"
Mercedes nodded. "He's coming over with Jeff for dinner tomorrow," I added.
She beamed. "Great! We better make something nice. Must impress. And invite Puck and Sam. Finn too."
I made a face but agreed. This should be interesting….
A/N: My explanation is school! It's an evil demon sent out to eat up our social life! Ugh. Anyways, here's another sloppy chapter. Jeez, I must be getting worse at this...Oh well. As long as you guys enjoy it! So, yeah!
