Disclaimer: I don't own Glee, obviously. Although I'm very happy that the creators are giving both Samuel and Damian a chance. And that we get to see Brittany try to figure out what the hell Damian is saying…

A/n: I'm sorry… these chapters are getting difficult to write, but I'm trying to keep getting them up as regularly as possible.

Blaine knocked on Kurt's door, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath as he waited for the taller boy to answer. He needed to do this; he needed to tell his boyfriend the whole story. "Come in." Blaine pushed the door open and walked in, closing it behind him. "We aren't supposed to have the door closed when we're in here alone…"

"I don't want Finn to know what I'm going to tell you. I don't want anyone to know…" Blaine watched as Kurt's head shot up from his textbook and proceeded to move his things around so that Blaine could sit down. He walked over to the bed, sitting down on the far end, away from his boyfriend.

"Come sit over here… I won't do anything to you, I promise." Blaine shook his head.

"My mom had a lot of problems. But the worst of it… the worst of it I didn't remember. Because I didn't want to remember what had happened to me at her hands. I didn't want to remember her the way I'll always remember my dad…"

"She hurt you."

"I was too little to understand… she was my mother, I didn't want to believe that the way she touched me was wrong. So I pretended like it never happened. If I'd just said something, told someone… she wouldn't have gotten the chance to stab me before she was hospitalized." Blaine closed his eyes, taking a deep breath and sighing. "The things she did… if she'd been sane enough to know what she was doing, she would have been arrested for… for sexual abuse."

"Blaine…" Blaine felt Kurt take both of his hands and looked up, noting the tears in the other boy's eyes. "I am so sorry."

"It isn't your fault."

"And it isn't your fault, either. She was the one who did something wrong here." Blaine nodded, closing his eyes. He was surprised when he felt Kurt moving closer to him, wrapping an arm around his waist and pressing a kiss against his cheek. "I still love you. This… this is just something that happened to you when you were younger. It has nothing to do with who you are. You didn't want this to happen to you, and you aren't responsible for what she did to you."

"I'm not pure… she ruined me."

"She hurt you. But she didn't ruin you, Blaine. You're still a good person… think about everything you did for me last year. You've been through so much, but you've never taken your anger out on anyone. You didn't do anything to deserve this," Kurt replied. Blaine looked up at Kurt's face, at the concern in the other boy's eyes. "I still think that you're the best thing that ever happened to me. I still can't imagine my life without you."

"I love you."

"I love you, too." Blaine closed his eyes, letting his head fall over so that it was against Kurt's shoulder. Blaine smiled slightly as the boy gently pulled him so that they were lying down across the bed.

"I never meant to hurt anyone."

"You were upset… it's hard to think straight in situations like that," Kurt replied. "It hurt that you didn't feel like you were worth saving… that you felt like you were worthless. Because you mean so much to me, Blaine. If I hadn't met you, I might have tried the same thing… I was that desperate when we met. You gave me a reason to keep going, because you showed me that there were people who cared out there. Because you cared enough to show me that I didn't have to just take it… I didn't have to be a victim."

"Now look at me…"

"What happened to you is completely different, Blaine… you had every right to trust your parents. No one deserves to go through something like that, no matter what they've done or who they are."

"No one deserves to be bullied, either…"

"But you were hurt by the very people who were supposed to protect you from all of that. The people who are supposed to love you unconditionally, no matter how much you screw up. That's worse than any bully, ever. You didn't have any way out of that situation."

"I could have told someone…" Blaine began.

"They were your parents. You wanted to believe that they loved you, that they wouldn't do anything to hurt you because that's what we expect from our parents. You were young and afraid and no one blames you for trying to protect yourself from all of that by forgetting it… you did what you had to do to survive." Blaine curled into Kurt's side as the other boy spoke, desiring the comfort that Kurt's presence provided. "You may not be able to rely on your real parents, Blaine, but my family loves you. My parents want to make sure that you're okay… they really do care about you."

"I'm not supposed to be their problem…"

"That doesn't matter… you needed someone to be there for you. My parents love you, they wanted to do what they could to help. They still want to do whatever they can to help you."

"It would just be easier if people didn't care so much."

"If we didn't care so much, you would be dead now. I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if that had happened… I don't know that I would be able to deal with it if you had succeeded in killing yourself," Kurt replied. Blaine sighed, pulling away from his boyfriend. "I love you. I don't want to see you hurting. I want you to be alright again, and I'm going to do whatever I can to help you."

"I wish you had just backed off…"

"You can't still want to die."

"I still just want the pain to go away. I don't know what else I can do to make it stop hurting…"

"You'll just have to learn to deal with it… it's going to take time, but you'll get better. We'll get through this, Blaine."

"You don't have to do anything, Kurt. You don't have to deal with this."

"No, but I am going to be here for you no matter what happens over the next few months. I'm not going to let you go through all of this alone, Blaine. You don't have to be alone through any of this… especially not now that you've told me what happened," Kurt replied. Blaine bit down on his bottom lip as Kurt moved closer to him again, taking his hand and intertwining their fingers. "I'm not giving up on you. There is nothing I wouldn't do for you."

"You won't let me go."

"Because I know that you don't really want that. I would never be able to forgive myself if I didn't try to help you get through this."
