Okay so I don't want to bore y'all with a long note here but i can't promise anything! :)
Firstly, i apologise for the wait. I really am sorry. School work has been AWFUL as of late so that is why it has been a while.
It is a little shorter that usual, it was just the way it planned out. I felt it was a good place to end off. No there is no need to worry :)
Thank you to you all for sticking with this. I love you all and i mean that from the bottom of my heart.
And lastly, as it is coming up to Christmas and stuff, i of course will not be able to write as much as A) I have a mad rush of school work to get in before i finish for the holiday and B) I am spending time in Scotland with my family and wont have access to be able to upload, so sorry in advance. I will however, be updating before Christmas, but probably just one more chapter :)
Anyway. I hope you enjoy! I enjoyed this chapter and be prepared to meet a new James.
Chapter Fourteen.
James, once again, sits in his dorm room after the fiasco that happened in the common room just moments ago. He saw everything that went on and was very, very pleased with his work. His plan had succeeded. He had finally managed to split Kurt and Blaine up which meant that he could have Blaine all to himself.
Although…this time it wouldn't be so easy, to have things back the way they were before. The Warblers were aware of what happened before and James knew that they still kept an eye out for him… they were still…suspicious of him per say. They weren't going to be easy to get through, James wasn't that naïve, but he was more than sure he could handle them when and if it came to that.
There was also Kurt of course. He was here now and although Kurt and Blaine had now broken up, James was also not naïve to think that Kurt was going to let it go so easily. Yes, they had made a mutual understanding between them but James knew Kurt didn't trust him.
His dorm room door opens and he snaps his head up bringing him out of his thoughts. His roommate Thomas walks in.
Thomas had also saw everything. Not that it was difficult… pretty much the entire saw but straight away Thomas knew straight away what James was up too. He knows James better than anyone.
He walks over to his desk and puts his bag down.
"…Hey." James says standing up and going to put his phone on charge.
Thomas just looks at him and shakes his head a little. "…What were you thinking?" He says cutting straight to the chase.
James sighed and walks back over to his bed and lies down. "Leave it. I don't wanna talk about it."
"After that display? Which by the way, I know for a fact you caused. No I'm not just gunna 'leave it'…when are you going to give up?"
"I'll give up the day he realises he should be with me!" James almost yelled.
"Blaine is happy with Kurt!" Thomas yelled. "Why can't you just accept that? You…hurt Blaine… do you honestly think he's going to want you back after what you just did… because he'll find out."
"Well then so be it!"
"You're so frustrating sometimes, you know that right?"
"What's this got to do with you? What I do with my life has absolutely jack shit to do with you!"
"You devised a pretty public display! You knew Kurt would be onto Blaine as soon as he saw him and you knew that it would be in front of everyone!"
"Why do you care so much?!" James yelled back in Thomas' face. Thomas… in all honestly was his best friend, although James would never admit that to anyone else. It was kinda hurting James that Thomas was so angry with him when he should be happy. He should be on James' side.
Thomas looks at James then blushes. God he hoped that James didn't see that. "…it was nothing…" Thomas mumbles.
James looks at his room mate and narrows his eyes. Something was up but he knew better than to not push Thomas. "Fine." He says.
There was definitely something more there.
The next morning, James gets up and gets ready for class. There was that unspoken kind of tension between him and Thomas that morning. They had not said a word to each other.
But anyway…James didn't have time for petty children that morning. He had much bigger fish to fry.
Fish that are in fact human and go by the name of Kurt and Blaine.
After his first class, he went to the library to do some studying. When he gets there, he finds Kurt, alone, at one of the tables flicking through a book.
He looks heartbroken, miserable and like he has given up on everything.
…which was exactly what James wanted.
He decides to keep the charade and walks over to Kurt and sits down in the seat across from him. Kurt looks up from his book. James can then see the damage. His eyes are blood shot.
"Hey." Kurt says.
James is a little startled. He didn't expect Kurt to talk to him but apparently he was so… "Hi" he says. "Uh… how are you?"
"I feel like death, James." Kurt tells him bluntly.
He nods. "…how are you y'know… dealing with things?"
"I'm…alright…" Kurt shrugs. "…what else can I do but try and move on? B-Blaine obviously has." James just looks away, not saying anything. "…I'll get over it though. It'll be difficult but I will."
James nods and secretly has a celebration in his mind. He could more than definitely have Blaine to himself now. Today could not get better.
"Thank you…for telling me." Kurt says quietly. Deep down, it sickens Kurt to his stomach to say this to James, but it was all part of the plan… his and Blaine's oh so marvellous plan.
James looks back up and sort of half smiles at Kurt. After all, James is supposed to be heart broken too. "No problem."
Kurt nods and gathers his books as the bell then goes for their next class, which just so happened to be maths for James. Perfect. Blaine was in maths.
"Bye." Kurt says and walks out. As he gets a safe distance away from James he is then approached by the twins.
"Sooo." Jamie says as he walks with Kurt to chemistry on one side of him
"Did he fall for it?" Justin says at the other.
Kurt looks at the both then smiles. "Of course he did."
The twins grin and high five him before fist bumping each other and walking into their class.
Blaine goes to maths early to make sure he is there for when James arrived and texts Kurt.
Did he fall for it? –B x
Of course he did. I swear he just has no heart at all –K x
I'm nervous… –B x
Don't be… he can't touch us, remember? –K x
Yeah… I just love you a lot. –B x
I know you do, and I love you too. I definitely believe you because a) you went to maths early and b) you're doing this… so… yeah. Nothing to worry about… just revenge :) –K x
Right, well I'll catch up with you later. He'll be here any minute. I love you –B x
Okay, talk later. I love you too. Good luck! :) –K x
Blaine stuffs his phone back into his pocket and just at that, James walks through the door. Oh how the situation has now turned. Normally, it would be that James was here first and smirking at Blaine, but this time, it was Blaine smirking at him, throwing him flirtatious looks.
James almost couldn't believe his luck.
Almost.
There had to be something going on for Blaine to suddenly be like this…Not that James was complaining… like… at all. He sits down in his seat.
All of a sudden, the end of class bell went. That lesson had gone quickly in James' opinion. He walked out to the corridor then felt someone grab his arm gently.
"Can I um…talk to you?" Blaine asks.
James is already nodding. "Yeah… of course." He smiles quickly then Blaine leads them to one of couches that are situated in the corridors of Dalton.
"So… I know what you did." Blaine says.
Oh crap. Busted. James quickly thinks… of course…deny everything. "…I…I have no idea what you're talking about."
Blaine smiles (Through gritted teeth but he does) "Oh yes you do… You made up that I had cheated on Kurt…" James just looks down again, maybe he should apologise. Blaine speaks before James can. "I know why you did it."
James looks at him puzzled. "You do?"
"Yup…because you wanted me back and you felt like that was the way." James blushed a little. "…I'm… actually kind of flattered…that you'd go through so much effort really…"
Of course Blaine wasn't… not in the slightest… ever. He just had to be convincing.
"Y-you are?" James asks hopefully.
"Yeah… hey… how about we talk? We can go out for a meal and sort everything out, huh? What do you think?" Blaine asks looking at him and smiling.
James smiles. "Is that a date, Anderson?"
"I guess it is… Breadstixx, 8pm… see you there." Blaine winks at him and walks away.
James is sat there in disbelief. Maybe he lied before when his day couldn't get any better… it just did.
"Kurt, are you sure this looks alright?" Blaine asked his boyfriend. He was getting ready for his 'killer date' with James tonight.
"Of course you do." Kurt smiled and walked over and fixed Blaine's collar on his shirt. Smart casual attire… it was only Breadstixx but Blaine still needed to look convincing that this was a real date. "You look hot." Kurt winked and walked into the bathroom.
"Ready to go?" Blaine asked him when he came out.
"Yup. Let's do this!" Kurt grinned.
"God I love you when you're evil." Blaine said admiring his boyfriend.
Kurt just smirked at him as they headed out to the car and drove to Breadstixx.
James had all but rushed back to his room after Blaine had told him they were going on a date.
He was going to use this opportunity to make sure he had his Blaine back. James didn't like how Blaine had taken control in initiating it and he was going to make sure that Blaine had gotten how they used to be, back into his head.
He got dressed and headed to Breadstixx for 8pm, right on time. It looks like Blaine was already here too as when James walked in, Blaine was already at the table. He walks over to where Blaine is and sits down across from him.
"Hey." James smiled.
"Hey." Blaine smiled back. "…you made it."
"Uh… yeah." James said.
"I just… for some reason… didn't think you would show up…" Blaine said looking at him. "I'm glad you did though…"
James just smiled. "Of course I would." He says and takes a drink of the coke Blaine had already ordered for them. He already has his own little plan of action. He was going to, for most of the night, let Blaine think that he had changed, when in fact, he hasn't. Right when Blaine thought that things would be going okay, that's when James would strike and let him know that he better go back to his old ways.
James had noticed that about Blaine. He was stronger now that he had… well…had Kurt which in James' opinion, was just a pain in the ass.
"So… you wanted to talk?" James asks keeping on his charade.
Blaine nods. "Y-yeah… I did."
"Well…?"
"Yes, so… I was thinking that… y'know… we could…maybe start again… like…going back to how things used to be."
"You want to go back out with me?" James asks and Blaine nods timidly. "…I knew it wouldn't be too long before you came running back to me because Kurt wasn't putting out…"
This, angers Blaine. Of course he knows better that to not go through with this. How dare he say that? That was completely not the situation at all… He and Kurt did plenty things when– concentrate Blaine.
"Look… this isn't about Kurt. That's in the past… I want to think about the future…" Blaine said deciding not to let it get the better of him.
"…Woah there cowboy… how about we just talk for now, huh?" James said. Blaine needed to trust him so if they submerged in general chat the Blaine would feel a little more trusting towards him.
They talk about just whatever comes to their minds. However difficult Blaine found it to actually talk to him, he would power through it. He had to. Blaine still felt like he had a little proving of him self to Kurt, he wasn't sure why, it was just his Blaine way of going about things.
Blaine checks the time on his phone, 8:30 pm. There food had just came moments ago. It was time for phase two.
"I'll be back in a few." Blaine says wiping his mouth with a napkin. "I have to pee." He says and gets up to go to the bathroom where he would text Kurt.
Hey! Phase two is a go! … He is totally falling for it! Good luck! –B x
Alright, thank you! –K
Be careful, he's got his best game face on, I can tell. Do your worst. –B x
Oh, I plan too :) –K x
Kurt texts back his boyfriend and gets out of his car that had been parked up outside Breadstixx. He walks in and sees the back of James' head. He takes a few deep breaths to prepare himself for whatever he was going to have thrown at him. He walks towards James who was looking down when Kurt sat down in the seat.
"Well you took your–" James said then looked up only to find Kurt there and not Blaine.
Kurt flashed a quick smile. "Something wrong?"
"Uh… w-what are you doing here?" James asks quickly. He was positively mortified.
"See… I think you already know the answer to that, don't you?" Kurt says calmly and narrowing his eyes.
"I- I have no idea what you're talking about…" James said trying to play dumb.
"Cut the crap. I know what happened James…Blaine and I both do."
"Yeah? Well then how come your 'sweetheart' is here on a date with me." He says with a cocky grin. Oh how Kurt loved wiping that look right off his face.
"Because I know that he's here... it's all a plan James. Blaine and I set this whole thing up to get even with you." He says and leans on the table. "We know everything… how you lied… how you thought making up that Blaine was cheating on me would split us up and now…we're getting even."
James was positively frozen in his seat. His eyes as wide a rabbit's in headlights. What was happening? Why couldn't he even fight back?
Blaine then took this opportunity to re-emerge from the bathroom and sat on one of the other seats and looking straight at James. "You see… you've messed with me once James… and that's just not okay. You took me right down to the point that I never thought I could get back up again. What makes it even worse for you is when you is that you messed with the one thing that pulled me out of this completely." Blaine said then looked at Kurt and smiled.
"I suggest," Kurt says. "That you leave… you leave right now and give up on trying to get between us. It won't happen." Kurt all but snarls at him. "Got it?"
James just looked between the two of them. His eyes narrowed slightly and his lips pursed in a straight line. He stands up, looks at them again and leaves.
Kurt and Blaine are slightly shocked that he did in fact, leave. They had put other plans into action in case this one didn't work, but it had.
They sighed in relief then smiled at each other.
They had done it!
"Do you think he's really gunna stop?" Kurt says snuggling into Blaine.
After leaving Breadstixx, they had gone on their own little date themselves. They had packed up a little picnic (since the date had been cut short) and a blanket and headed to their meadow. They had finished eating and were now lying down watching the night sky.
"Y'know what… I actually think he might." Blaine said. "He seemed pretty mortified by it all if I'm honest."
Kurt hums in response enjoying Blaine's warmth and nuzzling into him a bit more.
Blaine giggles and kisses the top of his head. They lay like that for a while, just enjoying being with each other.
"Blaine?" Kurt asks a few minutes later, breaking their silence.
"Yeah?"
"Where do you see us in the future?" Kurt asks moving his head to look at Blaine.
Blaine looks down at Kurt. "In the future I see us still being together. I see us getting married and… having a child… I see us living in New York, just like we talked about and chasing our dreams together."
Kurt smiles, he wants nothing more that what Blaine has just described. "I want all of that too."
Blaine looks down at Kurt and smiles. "I'm gunna marry you one day."
"And that, will be one of the happiest days of my life." He smiles.
"One of?"
"Yeah! Of course… I've still yet to meet Lady Gaga…" Kurt says teasing a little.
"Oh of course… I forgot." Blaine laughs going along with it.
"And then there is winning designer of the year… getting a Tony… being on Broadway…"
"Definitely."
"And of course you'll be there with me and I'll be thanking my gorgeous husband and my amazing child." Kurt smiled sweetly.
"You know I will be."
"You're the sweetest boyfriend anyone could ever ask for, y'know that?"
"Oh stop…" Blaine says blushing.
"No… I don't tell you this enough… let me tell my boyfriend how amazing he is." Kurt pouts and Blaine just can't say no. He rolls his eyes knowing Kurt wont take no for an answer. Kurt smiles in satisfaction and props himself up on an elbow. "Y'see, he's got these amazing eyes…" Kurt says and kisses Blaine's eye lids. "They sort of make me melt. They sort of make me melt every time I look into them." Blaine blushes again.
Kurt continues. "He also has this infectious personality that just… I dunno. Everybody adores him and admires him… he inspires people and will do anything for anybody… always putting himself before others and I really admire him for that." Kurt says now playing with a few of Blaine's curls that had broken free from the gel.
Blaine, by now, is blushing crimson red but is grinning. "Well I don't know who you're talking about…." He mumbles a little.
"Oh shut up." Kurt laughs and pecks him on the lips. "My point is that you're amazing and I love you."
"I love you too." Blaine says and smiles. "Do you wanna head back?"
Kurt nods and get's up. "Yeah." He smiles.
Blaine gets up too and they back up there stuff and head back to their dorm at Dalton.
It had been a long day. But finally… they had nothing else to worry about.
James get's back from Breadstixx at around 9:30.
He walks to his dorm and opens the door, walks in and closes it and leans against it.
Thomas looks up from his desk. "James… you okay?" He asks concerned. James is… weirdly quiet.
James looks at him and shakes his head. "No… I'm not okay."
"What happened?"
"I… I don't wanna talk about it." He says and walks to the bathroom but Thomas grabs his wrist and looks at him. He looks into James' eyes to search for something… and for the first time since he started searching for something, he found it. For a moment, he saw desire behind James' eyes. It was only a glimmer but he saw it.
That was until James stated crying, full on sobbing. He reached his arms out and hugged Thomas, needing someone.
Thomas took James in his arms and held the boy he loved so dearly close to him.
"I'm such…a fucking…mess." James said through tears.
"No you're not James…"
"Yes I am! I'm a psychopath!" He sobs and hits Thomas' chest in frustration.
"Shhh…it's okay…I'm here…" Thomas says softly and holds James even closer to him.
"I…I need help." James said in an uncharacteristically small voice.
"You'll be alright…"
"No Thomas… don't you get it? I'm a monster… i… I but them through so much…" He says. "Forget that…I put Blaine through so much and…. He doesn't deserve it. None of them did but I still did it… I still tried to get in their way… ruin Blaine's happiness… yes, I am a monster."
"I'm not gunna lie…what you did was… socking… but… don't beat yourself up over it. Everyone has flaws…everyone has a dark side, James."
"Mine just happens to be pitch black." James says and laughs a little. Thomas laughs a little too. James seems to be listening to him. James pulls out of their hug and looks at Thomas. The same look as before can be seen in James' eyes. "I wanna change…I don't want to be that person any more."
Thomas nods.
"Do…do you think I can? …Change I mean?"
"James, I think you can do anything you set your mind too." Thomas says.
James looks at him and smiles. "Will you help me?...I mean obviously I'm gunna go and see someone but… I mean like… it's gunna be scary and… I…I need someone…"
"You don't even have to ask." Thomas says sincerely. He would always be there for him.
James smiles and reaches out nervously and takes Thomas' hand.
There's always someone out there for everyone.
