A/N: So..Let me start by saying, I feel like a major bitch for this chapter. But it's what came to mind and if I didn't do it, it would've drove me insane. Lizzie, grab your tissues...
"You need to stay away from Blaine." Cooper said protectively.
Sebastian rolled his eyes as he stood up straight. "Why? You want that sweet ass all to yourself?"
Cooper's eyes went wide. How could Sebastian know? He tried to compose himself quickly but he saw the spark in the other boy's eyes. "Oh my God. You do. You want Blaine, your brother!"
Cooper shoved Sebastian. "You don't know what you're talking about! He's my brother. I-I'm just looking out for him.."
Sebastian smirked. "I wonder what the headmaster would think about that. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't want Blaine living with you.."
"You wouldn't.." Cooper said quietly.
"Oh. But I would. So the way I see it is you're going to leave him alone and encourage him to see me."
Cooper raged, standing up straighter as he remembered what he had found out earlier. He pinned Sebastian to his own car and growled angrily. "Or you will stay away and leave us the hell alone. You won't open your fucking mouth to anyone."
Sebastian chuckled. "And how are you going to stop me, Anderson?"
"Well, it's funny. I was on the internet before I texted you. Seems like daddy didn't hide everything about your past like you had hoped." Cooper warned.
Sebastian's breath caught in his throat. No. Nonononono. Cooper couldn't know anything. They had taken care of it all. His father had said so. This couldn't be happening.
"I came across a picture of you from a few years ago..Before your surgeries..You know what I'm talking about, right? When your parents used to send you off to all kinds of different fat camps. I see you've changed a lot sense then. But I bet you still feel like that little kid that people made fun of. It's a shame really. Maybe if you would've embraced who you were, you wouldn't have turned out to be this asshole. I'm not like most of the other adults around here. That see things but won't confront them. Because if we don't talk about our problems, they don't exist, right? But I saw more than you think yesterday. Those cuts on your wrists. Yeah, I saw those."
Sebastian had a look of panic in his eyes as he listened to Cooper. "You don't know anything!"
"I think I know enough.." Cooper said seriously.
"Enough for what..?" Sebastian asked, swallowing hard.
"Enough to ruin you," Cooper said darkly. "If you keep going after Blaine. Stay away from him and no one has to know."
"Fine," Sebastian spat. "I-I'll leave him alone."
"Good." Cooper said, letting go of Sebastian and walking off to his car. He went back home, guilt and relief flowing through him. He headed upstairs and changed before climbing into bed with Blaine and pulling him close.
The next day, Cooper tried telling Blaine it would be okay at school and if he needed anything just to call him. He didn't tell Blaine about the previous night. He couldn't. Blaine would be so disappointed in him. He watched as his brother got out of the car and headed into the school before pulling out his phone and texting him.
"Courage 3"
Blaine couldn't stop the grin that spread across his face as he read the text.
"Thanks Coop. I really needed that. See you after school."
Blaine was surprised at how the day went. Everything with Wes was normal again. But every time he saw Sebastian, the taller boy ignored him. They went through an entire practice without one word from Sebastian. It was unnatural. Sure, it felt good to not have him all over Blaine. But this…this was just too weird. After practice, Blaine carefully walked up to the taller boy. "What's wrong..?"
"Nothing." Sebastian said curtly.
"Sebastian..If you need someone to talk to, I'll listen.." Blaine said softly.
Sebastian thought for a moment, wondering if he should tell Blaine about the night before because clearly he had no idea about it. But he couldn't. Blaine would confront Cooper. Then everyone would know about his past. He had tried so hard to hide it. The memories alone were bad enough. Being that young, slightly overweight boy. He had been too shy to talk to people on his own. He didn't have the courage. Sebastian didn't trust anyone. Any time that he had, it turned out to be someone pretending to be his friend as a joke or they would just skip that and make fun of him without even trying to get to know who he really was.
He had gotten so depressed that he had started to cut himself. He'd go home at night and sit on the tile in the bathroom, razor in his hand. He would think about all the names they called him, all the nasty things that were directed towards him. He had no one. Not even his parents. They were too focused on his father's career. Sebastian would sit there, working up the courage. He'd take a deep breath as he brought the blade to his wrist and watched as the deep red ran down his arm and onto the gleaming white tile. It was beautifully tragic. The way the red contrasted with his skin color. The white and red went so well together as the emotional pain escaped with the blood. He had worked hard to not be that little boy. His father agreed to pay for weight loss surgeries. They called for a strict diet and work out plan that Sebastian followed down to every last detail. With time, he lost the weight and switched schools. He still had a few of the scars on his wrist from the deeper cuts. But no one had ever noticed. And if they had, they never asked or said anything about them.
Sebastian shook the memories from his mind and continued to avoid Blaine's gaze. "Thanks. But I'm better off on my own.." he said in barely a whisper before walking off.
Blaine watched as Sebastian left. Something didn't feel right. But he knew he couldn't force him to talk.
