A/N: I don't own Glee or anything related to it. Please Review! I'd really appreciate it.
Chapter 10: Solutions
Coach Sylvester was in a rage. She couldn't remember being this angry in a long time. Three students had just slushied her. One of them already had a secret she was trying to uncover. The other two would be dealt with later. Rachel Berry, Quinn Fabray and Kristy Walker would be dealt with. Sue would just have to work harder. Whatever Kristy was hiding, Coach was going to find it. She was going to destroy the Glee Club with that little secret. Maybe it was what music they were doing for Regionals, maybe it was something that would cause controversy or cause them to fight. She hoped it would just tear them all apart. More importantly though, she hoped it would cause Kristy pain for trying to mess with Sue Sylvester.
Blaine raced back to his house to find out what the hell Kurt had been up to. He hoped that Kurt hadn't done anything stupid when he was texting Kristy. However, even Blaine couldn't convince himself that something terrible hadn't happened. His only fear right now was that he couldn't fix things with Kristy. She needed someone right now, and he wished Kurt could just understand that.
As soon as he got home, he rushed up to his bedroom. He thought of all the memories he'd had there as a child as a way to distract himself before he read the terrible messages. Blaine thought of the time he had tried to take out his loose tooth with the door. He smiled at the image of his kid self trying to tie a string to the door and his tooth.
His phone buzzing brought him out of his memories. He looked at the name and saw that it was Finn. He ignored it for the time being. Blaine took a deep breath and looked through the messages Kurt had sent. As he read them, he was filled with rage. Blaine wished he could tell Kurt everything. This was ridiculous. Kurt may be a jealous son of a bitch, but he should take it out on him, not Kristy. Blaine turned his phone off before he could do anymore harm and he just lay down in his bed. He couldn't do this anymore. He hadn't felt this down since he had told his parents he was gay. They hadn't taken it well to say the least. Just the thought of that night, was overwhelming.
I stared at my phone for a few minutes. I still couldn't believe what Blaine had said to me. I had already started crying and I wasn't sure when I would stop. I had no one now. In hindsight, I feel pretty stupid for getting so enthralled with Blaine, but he was a great guy. Plus, love makes you do crazy stuff. Anyways, I remember crying myself to sleep that night. I think my family assumed that I was just upset about the cancer again. Maybe, part of me was; but most of it was hurt over Blaine.
I was so glad he didn't go to our school. I wasn't sure how I would handle looking at him or seeing him on a daily basis. It would have sucked. Granted, it still sucked because I wasn't sure who I was going to talk to about my cancer treatments or my life in general. I mean there was my family and the members of Glee. On the bright side, I had learned a lesson though: Never put all your eggs in one basket. I wouldn't forget that very soon. I was pretty confident that that would stay with me for a very long time. Hopefully until I died.
The next morning, I felt a little better. I couldn't say that I was entirely thrilled with my life, but I wasn't quite as fragile as the night before. However, I still felt pretty empty without Blaine. Unfortunately, I was still holding out hope that it was all a dream or that I would be able to talk to someone today. No such luck. I was still frightened that everyone would still treat me differently. I remember hoping that I would be more comfortable closer to the 6 month mark.
Since Sue had ruined my favorite shirt, I wore my next favorite shirt in an effort to try and cheer myself up. I figured if I saw Sue I could just think about how much Blaine hurt me and I would start crying. It was an idea (In hindsight, probably not one of my brighter ones). Then maybe she could find the heart to ignore me and just find my stupid secret. I had been praying that she didn't have access to hospital records. We still hadn't told the school, so I was covered there.
So, I headed out with the hope that I'd have a lucky day. Maybe even a good one. Looking back, it may have been a crazy thought, but it kept me hopeful. And it kept me from losing it. I was hoping that the Glee Club would sing something awesome to cheer me up as well. I think that was one of the few things that went right that day.
Blaine woke up the next morning with a throbbing headache. He felt like he had a giant weight on his shoulders as well. For a moment he couldn't even remember why. Then it hit him, Kurt! The only thing he could think of was telling Kurt the truth. He would have to explain everything to him. Blaine pulled out his phone and texted Kurt. He asked Kurt to meet him at their favorite coffee house on Main Street. It was a little public, but Blaine figured the risk was worth it if he got Kurt back. Blaine got ready with a renewed confidence and spirit. He was ready for whatever life could throw at him.
As he drove to the coffee shop, he came up with his speech to Kurt. By the time he was satisfied with it, he had arrived. When he walked in, he saw Kurt at their usual table. He smiled to himself.
"This is going to be easier than I thought," he said to himself.
"Blaine. There you are. Come, sit down," said Kurt with an unusual coldness.
"Kurt. How are you? I have something I need to say."
"Me first."
"Ok. Go ahead."
"Blaine, I can't trust you anymore. I don't even know who you are anymore. You've been completely different since that party. Alls you do anymore is talk to Kristy, hang out with Kristy, text Kristy, call Kristy. Everything has to do with Kristy. You don't even pay attention to me anymore…"
"Kurt you know that's not true," Blaine said quietly, his confidence fading. Kurt put his finger up as he continued.
"…. And I just don't think we're working. When we met things were amazing and you were the best thing that happened to me. But, I can't see you anymore. Blaine Anderson, we are finished."
"Kurt, I wish you knew what was going on. I wish you could see past this. I wish you had the whole story. Maybe then you'd understand that I'M GAY and I LOVE YOU."
"I sincerely doubt that."
As tears streaked down his face Blaine continued as best he could, "Well, I hope in time you see that I'm right. Until then, goodbye."
Blaine walked to his car as fast as he could. Inside, he broke down into tears. Somehow, he managed to type out a text message.
From Blaine:
Kristy, I hope you're happy. Kurt broke up with me.
Finn Hudson watched from across the coffee house. He could see his stepbrother's boyfriend, Blaine leaving in tears and Kurt struggling to hold them back. He wanted to believe that this was Blaine's fault, but after last night, Finn wasn't so sure. He had heard Blaine yelling at Kurt and he just had a feeling that Kurt was overreacting. He decided he had to know what had just gone down.
"Kurt, what the hell just happened? Why did Blaine leave crying?"
"I just broke up with him."
"What? Why would you do something so stupid like that?"
"I can't trust him anymore?"
"What's wrong with you? Of course you can!"
"No, I absolutely cannot Finn. He's completely obsessed with Kristy. I'm not even sure if he's gay anymore."
"Fine Kurt. Believe what you want. I'll see you at school."
Finn was determined to get to the bottom of this. He didn't like to see Kurt like this, but he knew Blaine couldn't be completely at fault. However, Kristy seemed to be at the bottom of this. Finn would just have to find out how she was involved.
