Hi Everyone!

Here is the new chapter. Enjoy!

Lyrics: Green Day – Boulevard Of Broken Dreams

Blaine came to the realization that saying that something wasn't right was an understatement. He had tried to sleep that night but he couldn't stop thinking about the day's happenings, so he had ended up in his study, going through the recordings of the camera system to clear his head. That was when he had seen it. He had almost missed it but even if he wasn't a bodyguard anymore, he knew the signs. He knew what to look for. That was how he had found the recording of a few weeks earlier and noticed that it was manipulated. About twenty minutes of the recording were missing and he knew that it could only mean something wrong. So he had called Nick in the morning and arranged a meeting with him.

"You are right" Nick sighed as he leaned back in his chair. "It's manipulated."

"Can you restore the missing piece?" Blaine asked.

"It was deleted" Nick said.

"But you can surely do something…"

"Maybe I can but I need more time" Nick said.

"I really need this, Nick" Blaine said.

"Is there something wrong?" Nick asked knowingly.

"Yes" Blaine nodded. "I'm sure Jeff told you about that article."

"Of course" Nick nodded.

"That's not everything" Blaine said. "Yesterday, when we weren't home, two people visited Danny at home. They scared him to death. They told him horrible things about me and that he wouldn't be allowed to stay with us any longer."

"Poor kid" Nick sighed. "Is he okay? And Kurt?"

"They will be fine but I have to find out what's going on. Whoever plays with my family, I will stop them" Blaine said.

"So that's why I had to get into that database" Nick said.

"Just to make sure the CPS isn't after us" Blaine said.

"Why would they? Blaine, you are perfect parents. There's no way they can take Danny away from you" Nick said.

"We have some trouble with him" Blaine admitted. "He missed classes and beat up another student."

"No way" Nick said with wide eyes.

"It's true" Blaine sighed. "He has these new friends. I'm not sure I like them, they certainly aren't good for him. Kurt definitely hates them, especially the girl."

"Oh, so there is a girl involved" Nick smirked. "Then don't be too surprised that he acts like this. Do you remember what Jeff was like in high school?"

"I do, actually. And I certainly don't want Danny to do such stupid things" Blaine said.

"It's not like you can stop them. He's a teenager, he will do stupid things, whether you want it or not" Nick pointed out.

"I know. But I would be a lot calmer if I knew he was safe. I will get him and Kurt a few bodyguards until we find out what we're dealing with here. Let me know if you find something" Blaine said.

"I will" Nick nodded. "Just call me if you need anything else.

"Thanks" Blaine said gladly. He knew that if there was something to find, Nick would get it for him.

"A bodyguard" Danny said slowly when Blaine went home later that day and shared the news with his family.

"That's right" Blaine nodded. "Although it seems like we don't have to be afraid of CPS anymore, I'm worried about you, guys. So until I make sure you are safe, you will both get a bodyguard to follow you around. Everywhere."

"I can't believe this is happening again" Danny sighed.

"Look, I don't like this either but we have to be careful" Kurt told him. "It's just temporarily."

"Will it be one of the guys?" Danny asked hopefully.

"No" Blaine smiled. "You don't know them but they will be perfect for the job. I looked into their records and I can only say that they are excellent."

"Great" Danny muttered. "I not only have to deal with you being famous when I go back, I also have to bring the new guy with me. So much for not too much attention."

"Danny, it's necessary" Kurt tried to explain him. "We will be a lot calmer if we know you aren't alone."

"Oh, about that" Blaine said. "We also need to set up a few new rules."

"Not again" Danny groaned.

"For safety reasons" Blaine said with a pointed look. "First of all, I updated the newest version of iGuard on your phones."

Kurt smiled as he looked at Danny and saw the boy roll his eyes.

"Keep your phones close every time you go somewhere, so I can track you down if necessary. Your bodyguards also have to report me about you twice a day. For safety reasons" he said again.

"Of course" Danny muttered.

"And I want you to call me when you leave the house and arrive to school or work" Blaine said at least. "Every time you go somewhere."

"Even when you work?" Danny asked.

"Especially when I work" Blaine nodded.

"Is it because we are in real danger or because you are being overprotective again?" Danny asked.

"Danny…" Kurt hissed, rubbing his forehead.

"I don't know for sure" Blaine said honestly. "I'm working on it but until I find out what exactly is going on, I want you to be safe."

"It also means that you can't leave the house, unless you have to go school. Once you will be allowed to go again, of course" Kurt said.

"No dates, no late afternoon programs, absolutely nothing until this is over" Blaine said.

"But what about Alison?" Danny asked.

"Ask her to come over" Kurt said. "You can listen to music or watch movies here, you don't have to go out for that."

"We wanted to ask you to invite her over anyway" Blaine shrugged. "We would like to get to know her."

Danny sighed heavily. He was pretty sure that his parents would screw this up for him. In the next second, his eyes widened when he realized what they had agreed in.

"Wait, what about the competition?" he asked.

"What competition?" Kurt frowned.

"My band! We have a competition next week!" Danny explained. "We need to practice a lot if we want to win and I have to be there on Friday, too. We have to win this."

"You can't go to that competition. It's too risky" Kurt said.

"Please, you can't do this to me…"

"They could use our rehearsal room" Blaine said as he turned to Kurt, trying to find a solution. He understood how important this band was for Danny. "And I can surely get him a few more bodyguards for Friday…"

"No" Kurt said determinedly. He knew that Danny would hate him for this but he would be a lot calmer if he knew that his son was safe. Being in a crowded bar that wasn't even suitable for a 15-year-old boy wasn't safe. "Not until we find out what's going on."

"Kurt, please…"

"Danny" Kurt sighed as he turned to face him. "I know that you think it's important and your life will be over if you don't compete but this is just one event. There will be more and I swear I will let you sing next time..."

"This isn't just one event" Danny glared at him. "I thought you would understand."

He turned around and left in a blink, slamming his door shut before Kurt could call after him.

"Danny…" he whispered.

"Just one song, Kurt" Blaine tried to concinve him. "It's important for him."

"And he's important for me!" Kurt shouted in frustration. "Have you forgotten what we talked about the other day? Perfect family image, nothing out of order. A 15-year-old playing rockstar is definitely something out of order."

"I know" Blaine sighed. He knew that Kurt was right but he didn't want Danny to hate them for this.

"He can have a band when he gets older" Kurt said. "Once this is over."

Blaine watched in silence as Kurt walked out of the room, leaving him all alone. He had no idea what to do now. He wanted to help Danny but he also wanted to do what he agreed in with Kurt… Whatever he did, someone from his family would hate him.

It was Friday evening and Danny was sitting in his room, leaning his head against the window. It had been more than an hour since Kurt and Blaine had left for their dinner with Puck and Quinn. Danny had tried not to be too disappointed that they were allowed to leave the house and he had to stay home. Well, that was what the men thought. Because he certainly wouldn't stay home when there was an important competition coming and his band had a chance to become famous. Okay, maybe not for the first time, the guys still needed a lot of practice but Danny knew that he had a great voice and he had been on the stage enough to do something unforgettable this time.

Blaine and Kurt had screwed up when they had hired him a bodyguard who had freshly joined the Warblers. He was surely great, Danny didn't deny it, but he strictly followed the schedule and accidentally made his job a lot easier. Danny didn't need much time to figure out when his bodyguard was on the other side of the house, checking the doors and windows. He also checked how much time he had once the man moved to the other side of the house and smiled when he realized he had minutes to climb down from his window and disappear before the guy could realize that he was gone.

So he got dressed and waited for that time to come. He would perform tonight, his dads couldn't stop him this time. And Alison had promised him to be there, too. It was definitely going to be a good night.

He went to the door and opened it slightly. The bodyguard had to be downstairs but he couldn't see him. So he went to the stairs and looked down. The guy was standing at the front door, his eyes never leaving the windows beside him. Danny shook his head as he watched him. The new guy seemingly didn't know that he didn't have to take his job that seriously because there was nothing to be afraid of.

Five minutes later, it was time for the next round. Danny leaned back against the wall as the man checked the door and then disappeared from his sight. That was the moment he had been waiting for.

"Shitty job, newbie" Danny muttered as he went back into his room and opened the window. He couldn't believe it was so easy to leave. He didn't even need much time to figure out how to do it. It was usually a lot harder.

He quickly climbed down the tree and without wasting any more time, he started running. The bodyguard would surely notice his absence soon but it wouldn't matter. He would be on the stage by then and nobody could stop him from performing.

Alison was nervous. Danny should have arrived about half an hour earlier but the boy was nowhere to be found. She hated this. They had wasted too much time for this boy and the plan had to work if they didn't want to lose everything. She was pretty sure that Tommy would kill them all if they couldn't get the money in time. The time they didn't have. Although Jay had somehow convinced the man to give them a few more days, Alison knew that Tommy wasn't too happy about that. They needed Danny, quickly, or they would be in so much trouble.

"Relax, honey" Jay smiled as he went to the girl and pulled her into his arms.

"Don't do this" Alison said and pushed him away. "Somebody might see us together."

"Does it matter?" Jay asked.

"Yes" Alison hissed. "Danny thinks that we are together, remember? I can't screw this up."

"Calm down, honey. He won't find out" Jay said and looked around. "Is he even here?"

"Not yet" Alison said.

"But he will come, right?" Jay asked.

"He told me that he would" Alison replied.

"He better comes because we need that money, now" Jay said.

"Don't you think I know?" Alison asked in frustration.

Jay took a deep breath and forced out a small smile.

"I'm sorry, honey" he said. "You know what you have to do, right?"

"Take him to the car after the performance" Alison nodded.

"Make sure noone follows you" Jay reminded her. "I will be waiting at the car with Ryan. We have to be quick and quiet. We can't get caught."

"I know" Alison nodded.

"He's here" Jay said and motioned towards the entrance where Danny stepped inside. "Go to him."

Alison took a deep breath and checked on her clothes before she made her way to the boy.

"Hm, this is amazing" Quinn hummed happily as she took another bite of her cheesecake.

"Does it mean that the morning sickness is gone?" Kurt smirked.

"Mostly" Quinn replied. "I still feel sick sometimes but it's not that bad anymore."

"She doesn't want to kill me anymore, so it's definitely getting better" Puck said.

"Do you know if it's a boy or a girl this time?" Blaine asked.

"Not yet" Quinn answered. "And I don't think we want to know this time."

"We want to wait until the baby is born" Puck said. "It would be such a surprise."

"Not you too" Kurt groaned. "How am I supposed to buy you anything when you don't want to know the gender before the baby is born?"

"Neutral colors, Kurt" Quinn said.

"I can't believe you are so patient" Blaine shook his head. "I wouldn't be able to wait so long. I would want to know as soon as possible."

"When it's about your sixth kid, it doesn't matter anymore" Quinn said. "We will love this baby, no matter what."

"I bet you will" Kurt said.

Suddenly, Blaine's phone beeped and he took it out of his pocket to check the caller's ID.

"It's Danny's bodyguard" he groaned and raised his phone to his ear. "I'm listening."

Kurt didn't need much time to realise that something was wrong. Blaine turned pale and swore quietly before giving the man orders and disconnecting the call.

"What's wrong?" Kurt asked.

"Danny left" Blaine said, already working on his phone to check where Danny was. Thank God he could track the boy's phone so easily.

"What?" Kurt gasped.

"He sneaked out when Brad was checking on the doors" Blaine explained.

"I can't believe he's doing this again" Kurt groaned.

"I found him" Blaine said after a minute and stood up. "Let's go!"

"I'm so sorry, guys" Kurt said as he stood up as well.

"We're coming with you" Puck said.

"It's not necessary…"

"We don't mind. Really" Quinn said, smiling at her husband as Puck helped her get to her feet.

"I'm getting tired of this" Kurt muttered. Sure, he knew that Danny was upset because they left and he had to stay home, but leaving like this… The boy was surely insane. Or he just didn't understand how risky it was. Either way, they had to find him soon and make sure nothing happened to him.

When they arrived at the bar twenty minutes later and stepped inside, they found Danny immediately. He was on the stage, seemingly getting ready for his performance.

"I'm gonna get him" Blaine said but Kurt grabbed his arm to stop him.

"Let him perform" Kurt said quietly.

"But I thought…"

"He's fine. Just let him do it" Kurt said. "It must be important if he was willing to sneak out."

Blaine sighed but nodded. Danny was seemingly fine, so they could wait a few more minutes and let him sing. Danny noticed them, too, just when he grabbed the microphone. He took a deep breath, seemingly trying to say something but then he shook his head and motioned for his band to start playing.

I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone

"The kid is talented" Puck whispered to Blaine.

Blaine nodded in agreement. Although the band wasn't a big deal, they made too many mistakes, Danny was great. Maybe he could win them this competition.

I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone

Read between the lines
Of what's fucked up and everything's alright
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still alive and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone

"He's like Mr Schue" Quinn smiled.

Kurt sighed sadly. He wished Will and Emma could see this, they would have been so happy to see their son perform. Even if he knew very well that this song was Danny's choice and wanted Kurt and Blaine to hear it.

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone...

The end wasn't perfect but it seemed like the audience loved Danny's voice and after a moment of silence, they broke out in loud applause. Kurt took a deep breath as he prepared himself for facing his son, trying to fight his mixed feelings. He was glad that Danny was safe and had such a great performance in the end but he couldn't forget about the fact that he didn't listen to them, again, and he could have gotten hurt. He didn't want to fight this time, though. He was tired of fighting.

He grabbed Blaine's hand and they walked towards the stage . For a second, they couldn't see Danny but then they found him, with a girl in his arms who was kissing him. Kurt turned his head away, feeling like they shouldn't watch this. He gave the kids a few more seconds but then turned back, just in time as the girl pulled back. And that was when his eyes widened in shock. Because the girl in Danny's arms was a lot older than him, definitely not his age.

"Please, tell me it's not Alison" Kurt said.

"I think that's her" Blaine said, seemingly just as shocked as Kurt.

"But-but she is…"

"I know" Blaine nodded.

Danny finally noticed them and shook his head as Alison told him something. He nodded towards them and shrugged. Alison's eyes widened and after saying a quick goodbye, she left. She didn't even wait until they got there, although Kurt already had a few things in his mind he wanted to share with the girl.

"Hey, guys" Danny said. "So… Did you like our performance?"

"You are in trouble" Blaine said shortly.

"I know" Danny nodded. He had known that it wouldn't end well, he had had enough time to prepare himself for this.

"Let's go home" Kurt said, his voice surprisingly calm. Too calm for Danny's taste.

"Okay" the boy said quickly. It didn't mean anything good when Kurt was so angry that he didn't even yell at him anymore.
