Flashback is in italics.
Kurt was sitting beside Blaine, his hand still wrapped around his boyfriend's, just watching him sleep. Occasionally Blaine would whimper in his sleep and Kurt would rub his thumb over the top of Blaine's hand to calm him down. It worked every time; Blaine would stop whimpering and go back into a deep, peaceful sleep.
Unfortunately the peace couldn't last. A few minutes later, the door opened. It wasn't a slow "someone-might-be-sleeping-so-I-better-be-quiet" open, it was an "I-am-very-angry-and-I-don't-care-if-someone's-sleeping" open.
"Don't, Tim!"
"I told you not to call him, June!"
"Hey! He has a name! It's Kurt, and you don't get to talk about my son like that!"
Kurt stood up as Mrs. Anderson, his dad, and a man he'd never seen, entered the room.
Tim froze when he saw Kurt's hand holding Blaine's.
'Can only be his dad,' Kurt thought.
"What are you doing?" He asked Kurt, his voice deep and angry.
"I… I…" Kurt didn't know what to say. Well, that wasn't exactly true. He could think of many things he wanted to say, but nothing would come out. Tim was a pretty tall man with dark hair, piercing green eyes, big boned and very, very different from Blaine. They may share a similar shaped face, but that was about it… Maybe it was the anger in the man's eyes that made them look so different; Kurt wasn't sure.
"What? You can't speak?"
"Don't talk to my kid like that," Burt said angrily. He, unlike Tim, kept his voice down as not to disturb Blaine.
"Don't tell me what to do!"
Burt went to reply, but June held up her hand to him and spoke instead. "Kurt is Blaine's boyfriend, Tim. You've heard Blaine talk about him before. You heard Blaine calling for him since we first got here."
"Blaine's out of his head! He doesn't know what he's saying right now!"
"Stop, Tim! Just stop!" June yelled, becoming fed up. She moved in closer to her husband. "Now I may not agree with Blaine's choice to be who he is-"
Kurt cringed at the word "choice". One of his biggest pet peeves was when someone called being gay a "choice". It was no more a choice than it is for white people to be white or black people to be black.
"-but I do know that he wanted Kurt here and I haven't seen him this calm or quiet since we arrived this morning. If you can't handle the fact that our son is comforted by this boy, then you need to leave because I will not deal with you raising your voice in here and upsetting Blaine. Not while he's already hurt like this."
"Blaine's asleep, June! He doesn't even-"
"I'm not asleep," A groggy voice said, cutting Tim off.
Everyone looked at Blaine. Kurt hadn't even noticed that he had woken up. He had been too focused on the scene in front of him.
Tim went to open his mouth, but Blaine continued. "Just go, Dad. Please, just leave. I love… Kurt and… I don't want… you talking like that… in front… of him… or me… I'm sick of it… and I don't feel like… hearing it."
Blaine never really stood up to his dad. He would sit through the endless talks about homosexuality, and how everyone had choices in life, and how he was making the wrong one's… And every time Blaine mentioned Kurt's name, he would then sit through the "talks" about how unmanly it was for him to have a boyfriend… but this was different. This time Kurt was there, and he hated that his dad was talking so horribly right in front of him. Plus, Blaine was just tired of hearing the same, stupid things over and over.
Tim didn't say a word. He just took a deep, angry breath and turned around. He left out of the room, loudly shutting the door behind him.
Blaine's grip tightened on Kurt's hand as he stared up at him.
Kurt could tell he was wanting to apologize, but Kurt shook his head before Blaine spoke. "Don't, Blaine." He placed his free hand on the side of Blaine's face, "It's not your fault."
"But, Kurt… He shouldn't-"
"No, Blaine. That doesn't matter right now. I can tell you're tired; just go back to sleep, okay?"
"You'll stay?"
Kurt nodded. "You know it."
Dave was sitting on the edge of his bed, bent over so his elbows rested on his legs, as he stared at Blaine's cellphone in his hands.
His knuckles were bruised and scraped, and there was some dried blood on them as well.
Dave took a deep breath as he began to think back to the night before...
"Sto- Stop…" Blaine's voice trailed off and, finally, he stopped fighting back and making noise.
Dave continued hitting him a few more times, unable to stop himself at first.
He suddenly seems to remember that he's outside, where other people tend to be too sometimes.
He stopped hitting Blaine and stood up, quickly looking all around to see if he saw any potential witnesses. There was no one.
Dave bent back down over Blaine and searched through his pockets as his heart raced. He found his keys in one pocket and his cellphone in the other.
He, with shaky hands, unlocked Blaine's car, put his phone in his pocket, and picked Blaine up.
Even though Blaine was light, he felt extremely heavy to Dave. Dave hoped it was because he was exhausted from hitting and not because he was carrying dead weight…
He wondered, for a moment, why he felt so bad. Blaine was supposed to die. That was what he had decided in that split second… But, really, he wasn't supposed to die. No one was, except for Kurt.
Again, it all goes back to Kurt. Kurt going to McKinley; Kurt giving Dave all these feelings that he should never have had; Kurt standing up to him, leaving him with no choice but to kiss the shorter boy; the picture of him and Kurt going public; Kurt, Kurt, Kurt! If it wasn't for him, he wouldn't be having this problem now. Blaine would never have come over and he would never have had to take such drastic measures to keep him quiet.
By now, Blaine was in the back of the car and Dave was driving off. He had no idea where he was going, until he saw the park. He went to that park a lot and knew that once it got dark, it was empty.
Seeing that this night was no different from the others, Dave pulled into the empty parking lot. He took the keys out of the ignition and got out, then went to the back of the car and opened the door.
He didn't just grab Blaine up, but instead stared at him for a moment. He looked for signs of life… signs of anything. There were none. He couldn't see any sign of Blaine breathing and he wasn't about to check for a pulse. There was a fear that, if he did, he wouldn't find one… There was also a fear that, if he did, he would find one. He wasn't sure which scenario would be worse.
Not wasting anymore time, Dave pulled a bloody Blaine from the back seat and lifted him over his shoulder. He went back into the wooded area of the park, but not too far, and laid Blaine down. Taking one last look at Blaine, he turned back and left him. He passed by the car and dropped the keys then began his walk home.
He took a deep breath and ran his fingers through his hair.
He couldn't believe what he had just done. 'Only Kurt was supposed to die! Only Kurt!' He thought.
Dave stares at the cellphone for a moment longer. He remembered something he had overheard one night while his dad was watching the news. Something about how cellphones could be tracked by police… He couldn't risk getting caught with it, so he got up off of his bed and left to go dump it somewhere… anywhere! As long as it was far away from him, that's all that mattered.
He wondered, for a moment, if he should just leave. Run far away and never look back… but that wouldn't fix his problem. No, the only thing that could fix his problem was killing Kurt… so that's what he would do.
So, I've been asked if I'm gonna be putting more of the New Directions kids in this story and, the short answer is: Yes... The long answer is: Yes, but only when I feel it is appropriate. Right now things are focused on Kurt/Blaine/Karofsky (obviously, since that's who the story is about) but the New Directions will appear throughout the story.
As for Blaine's dad... This is how I kind of always imagined him. I never thought of him as being physically abusive to Blaine, but possibly verbally abusive to him. At least on the verge of being verbally abusive... Anyway, just thought I'd mention that.
Thank you so much for reviewing! It means the world to me! ..Oh, anyone else see the Last Friday Night video? Blaine's so cute! As is Kurt! ;) I can't wait until the 1st!
