Chapter 14 :))
Blaine. Please be okay. You need to be okay. I need you to be okay.
Kurt was scared. He had a bad feeling about this. How could he let Blaine go alone to Tony and Dave? How could he do such a stupid thing? What if Blaine was hurt behind that door? Then he would never be able to forgive himself…
Kurt opened the door more and more. Slowly. For every little way he opened the door he took a deep breath. His whole body was shaking.
Suddenly he felt a hand on his shoulder. He jumped in suprise and turned around quickly.
"Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you." Rachel said and smiled weakly.
Kurt just nodded, tried to remember how to breathe. In and out. Out and in. You got this Kurt.
"Do you want me to open it instead?" Rachel offered.
Kurt nodded once again, and took away his shaky hand from the door handle.
"Okay, here we go…" Rachel murmured.
She went to the door, hesitated before she opened it quickly.
What they saw had none of them expected.
Kurt couldn't stop his tears from falling, so he didn't try. Instead he closed his eyes and let them come. We came too late.
"Kurt, I-"
"Don't say anything Rachel. This is all my fault." Kurt whispered.
"It's not your fault, you can't blame yourself for-"
Kurt shook his head. "Rachel, just stop…"
The sound was so loud. Deafening. Kurt had never heard a sound so clear in his whole life.
The sound of… silence.
"Kurt! Oh my gosh! Look!" Rachel suddenly shouted.
Kurt slowly opened his eyes against his will. He honestly didn't want to see the emptiness of this room again.
"What is – Oh my god."
In her hand was a small piece of paper.
Kurt hurried to her side.
"What does it say?" Kurt asked, scared to hear the answer.
Rachel read the note out loud. "Finally I made it. Made what I wanted since the day he disappointed me. The world doesn't need people like him. So today I made the world a favor. Something I should have done years ago. But today was probably meant to be the day. To made the world this favor I needed to commit a crime. Does that make me a murderer? No. Because I, Tony Anderson, in return saved a whole world. Thank me."
Kurt had started to shake again. His brain couldn't catch up with his body. Tears came. He couldn't find air. His legs wouldn't carry him. He was already a mess.
"Kurt, this doesn't mean anything, okay? It's Tony we talking about. Maybe he just want us to think that Blaine is-"
"Please don't say it!" Kurt interrupted.
"I won't, but-"
Kurt walked to the door, his whole body still shook and his cheeks were wet with tears. "I need to find Blaine."
"Kurt, wait!"
But Kurt didn't listen. Couldn't. He needed to find Blaine. He needed to stay strong. For him and Blaine. For them.
"Kurt!"
Kurt would never forget that voice…
"Dave?" Kurt said and turned around to face him.
"Hello, Hummel." Dave said calmly, walked closer to him and stopped about three meters away. "Everything is fixed."
"What – what do you mean?"
"I've taken care of everything." Dave replied, like that would make everything much more understandable.
Kurt just blinked in response.
Dave sighted loudly. "Okay, I'm gonna take this slow, listen carefully because I only say this once, you understand?"
Kurt nodded dumbly.
"Alright, good." Dave continued. "First of all, Tony is with the police and won't bother us anymore. I've called the cops earlier and they got him pretty fast."
Kurt couldn't believe this. Had Dave Karofsky really done this for them? Like the same that bullied him for years? It was… weird.
"Thank you Dave." Was all Kurt could say.
He smiled. "You're welcome."
Did he just smile too? Could he smile? And it wasn't even… scornfully? No, it really was a real smile. Once again, weird…
"What happened here earlier?" Kurt asked, unsure if he really wanted to know.
"Tony was furious, he fired me and forced me to leave. Then I don't know exactly what happened, but I heard Blaine scream, and in that moment I knew, that I needed to call the police, so I did. They came fast and got Tony."
"And… Blaine?" Kurt whispered.
Dave suddenly looked sad. "I have no idea what happened to him. He was gone when the police came, but they will of course keep looking for him."
"Oh my poor Blainey…" Kurt couldn't help but say, and felt his tears fall once again.
"I'm sorry Kurt…"
Kurt stared at Dave. He couldn't really tell if Dave meant a sorry for everything or just a sorry for what had happened to Blaine…
"Have Blaine told you?" Dave asked when Kurt didn't answer.
"Told me what?"
"Well… The truth, about everything. How I met Tony and why I did all this."
"No… He never got the chance." Kurt admitted.
"Oh, in that case… I have some things I need to tell you…"
Dave told him everything from the very beginning. How he met Tony, why he took Blaine out of the crowd in the first place and why he agreed to Tony's plan.
Kurt didn't interrupt. Even if it was really terrifying to hear that Dave liked him.
"I think that's it." Dave said when he had finish.
Kurt nodded a couple of times, processed what Dave just said.
"I-I believe you." Kurt said after a long time of silence.
"You do?" Dave asked in suprise.
"Yes. Now it was you that told me this, not your terrible acting."
"Hey! I think I was pretty good!"
Kurt rolled his eyes.
Blaine. How could he stand here and talk for a so long time when he was gone? What if this few minutes were the time Kurt had, the time to find him and save him? What if it was too late by now? What if…
"I have to find him." Kurt said, just so Dave would understand that he needed to go now.
"I know. I can help you look."
"Really? Thank you."
"Of course. But I think it's better if we split up and call if we find something."
"Sounds like a plan." Kurt agreed.
"Okay, later Hummel." And with those words Dave left.
Rachel suddenly came out from their room.
"I kind of heard everything… Where should we start to look?" She asked.
"I don't know… I think I just should go home and find a warmer jacket, this might be a long night…" Kurt said sadly.
Rachel nodded. "Okay, call me later then?"
"Yes, of course."
Kurt took his bag from the hotel room and began his walk home.
Honestly hadn't this anything to do with him needing a warmer jacket. He just needed some time to think. Alone.
Kurt had no idea how he really felt about all this, because he could simply don't feel a thing. He was empty inside. It felt like something was missing. A big part of him.
This was all his fault. How could he let Blaine go alone to met Dave? He could only blame himself for everything… The police would also try to find Blaine, but what if it already was too late? Kurt couldn't stop thinking "what if". What if he done everything diffrent. What if Tony never saw Blaine on TV. What if Dave and Tony never met. But Kurt knew deep inside that he couldn't think like this. It was just a waste of time, because he couldn't change the past. He most look forward. The end of this book hadn't been written yet. It was his time to make a new chapter, and that wouldn't end until he finds Blaine.
Kurt finally arrived to his and Rachel's house. It was weird to see it this way. No people around it. No TV. Just the sound of silence. The sound he (by now) was so used to. And he didn't like it. It just reminds him of the first minutes when he realized that Blaine really was gone. He shuddered everytime he thought about it…
Kurt opened the door and went inside. It was dark. No lights. And honestly, why would it be? No one had been here for days…
He lit a few lamps and started to look after that "warmer jacket". He didn't want Rachel to be suspicious. He just wanted this time alone without anyone who questioned it.
Suddenly he heard something. A quiet moan, barely loud enough for him to hear, but in this silence could you probably hear a pin drop.
Kurt panicked. Was someone else in the house?
He took quickly up an umbrella from his bag, hold it like a bat over his head and walked slowly in the way he thought the sound came from.
The moan was suddenly replaced by a voice. "Kurt?"
Kurt dropped his umbrella. "Blaine?"
There you go :) Hope you liked this chapter. I actually wrote this chapter in a diffrent way before a wrote it like this, so that's why it took so long… Why I did it? Well, I was honestly not satisfied at all and I also got some new ideas so I decided that it would be better to just start over. Now you know ;)
It's not long until summer break here in Sweden, so I will probably write the last chapters of this story really fast when I don't have any school :) So see you soon!
