Sad chapter and I'm sorry for this. It pains me to write this as much as it pains you to read it, but it's not as bad as you think. Please enjoy as much as you can.
Chapter 10
"Hey, where are you going?" Rachel asked as Kurt walked to the coat rack.
"Blaine wants to meet me at Central Park, I should be back before midnight." Kurt said putting his jacket on and heading towards the door.
"Oh, ok, do you have any idea why he would want to see you this late?" Rachel asked.
Kurt had thought about this for a good five minutes. Did he forget something at the theatre and Blaine wants to give it to him? No, he would just drop it by the loft if that were the case. Did he forget some big event and Blaine is meeting him to yell at him for forgetting? No, yelling at him can be done over the phone. Is Blaine going to surprise him and then they can stroll down the sidewalks of Central Park? No, Blaine sounded too serious in the texts for it to be that. That left one option and Kurt really hoped it wasn't what he was thinking.
"Nope, no idea," he lied "Gotta run!" Kurt answered and walked out the door.

During the car ride to the park Kurt started to think about what was going to happen. He knew the only reason Blaine would ask to meet this late and it terrified him. Had he done something wrong? Was Blaine mad at him? Did Blaine realize he didn't actually love Kurt?
Stop it, Kurt thought, of course Blaine loves you. He even talked about being parents with you, though you were the one who brought it up. Oh gosh, maybe Blaine doesn't love him. The thought, once again, terrified him, but he told himself to focus on the road and not the fact that he was heading into the one thing he hoped would come true.

Kurt parked a few blocks away from the Park. It was nice out for night time. The lights of the city illuminated the sky and the honking of horns was all around. This truly was the city that` never sleeps. Even now, at roughly 9:00 PM, there was plenty of traffic. Kurt entered the park and headed towards the pond where Blaine and him always go. Every step took so much effort. Kurt knew what he was walking to and he wished he could be anywhere but here. The night air was crisp and fresh, why couldn't this have been a nice walk with Blaine? Why did it have to be this?
He walked along the walkway looking at his feet. He knew Blaine would already be there and he honestly didn't want to see him. After almost running into a tree he finally looked up. There he was, sitting on the bench, staring out into the distance. Kurt sighed heavily and walked to the bench.

Blaine stared at the reflection in the pond. The trees looked deformed and the light coming from the nearby buildings created weird shadows. The breeze was soft and the air was fresh. It was the perfect night, except for the fact that Blaine found it hard to breath. How was he supposed to break up with Kurt? He'd tried to think about this, but it just hurt too much. He was so deep in thought he didn't notice the man walk up next to him until three word came out of the man's mouth.
"Just do it." was all Kurt said.
"Kurt! Oh, you startled me. Um, what are you talking about?" Blaine said trying to sound like he wasn't about to do this.
"Don't lie to me Blaine, I know why I'm here. Just do it. Make it as quick and painless as possible." Kurt said, not meeting Blaine's eyes.
"Kurt I'm so sorry." Blaine said.
Kurt was expecting this, but the fact that he was hearing Blaine admit it, hit him harder then he knew possible. He quickly sat down and just sat there; ignoring Blaine's many apologies, too lost in the pain of the whole situation. Kurt didn't even know he was crying until he felt Blaine wrap his arm around him. That was the last straw for him. He quickly started to ball into tears and before he knew it, he was a sobbing mess.
He sobbed for what felt like forever, but he eventually calmed himself down. He sat there for a while absorbing the warmth from the person next to him, holding him so closely and tightly. Then he remembered who that person was and immediately moved away.
"Kurt, please." Blaine tried, but was cut off.
"Why? W-what did I do?" Kurt said between sniffles.
"You didn't do anything Kurt. Becca made me." Blaine said, himself starting to feel the urge to cry.
"Becca? Why would she make you break up with me?" Kurt said looking up.
"She came into my dressing room this morning, said she needed to talk to me. She told me that she saw you and I leave the theatre that one afternoon holding hands. She asked if we were a couple and I said came the part that I hate and still hate now. She told me that I had to break up with you because my contract said I wasn't allowed in any affairs with any of the cast or crew." Blaine was now starting to tear up. "She said that I would be kicked off the show i-if I didn't break u-up with y-you." Blaine stuttered out now completely crying.
Kurt didn't respond, he just sat there and absorbed what Blaine had just said. Blaine didn't want to break up with him, he no doubt hated this as much as he did. Becca was forcing him to do this. Kurt couldn't believe this. He definitely didn't like Becca now.
"Please say something." Blaine said.
"I-I don't believe this. I can't believe Becca! Blaine you don't have to do this." Kurt said waiting for Blaine to reach his eyes.
"Yes, I do. I could lose my job if I don't and I know it's just a job, but this is my first Broadway show. I'd really like to be able to perform in it." Blaine said.
"I know and I would never want you to give that up, but I honestly mean you don't have to do this. I have a plan." Kurt said confidently.
"Wait, what? A plan?" Blaine said looking up at Kurt confused.
"Yes, it's perfect. You'll go in tomorrow and tell Becca that you broke up with me. Then to make it more believable, I'm going to go in with a fake boyfrie-"
"Wait! A fake boyfriend? Kurt I don't think I can handle seeing you with another man, let alone pretend not to be in a relationship with you." Blaine said.
"Well, you're going to have to; it's either that or actually break up with me. Now, as I was saying, I would get a fake boyfriend and if Becca gets suspicious I'll just say how much I'm over you and how I love my new boyfriend, et cetera." Kurt explained.
"Um…" Blaine said.
"Blaine, you know I'll be lying right? I love you and only you. This is all going to be an act until the shows over." Kurt said reassuringly.
"I know and I like the idea better than actually breaking up, but I don't think I can handle you talking about how much you love someone else in front of me." Blaine said.
"I'll tell you what, I'll keep the lovey-dovey stuff to a minimum and as long as Becca's not around, we can still act all couplely, ok?" Kurt asked.
Blaine sighed. "Ok." And the second the word left his mouth he knew he was going to regret it.
