Blaine nervously rubbed his hands together as he sat on the hardwood bench in the courtroom. He pulled down the arm of his jacket hoping it would cover the cast still covering his right arm. Blaine felt like he couldn't even look up. Just in front of him, Eli sat next to his attorney. Just seeing him was making Blaine's stomach toss and turn.
Seeing how nervous Blaine was, Kurt set his hand gently on Blaine's knee. He flinched at first, but then after realizing who it was relaxed. "Are you ready for this?" Kurt whispered.
Blaine shook his head. "I feel like I'm going to puke. Can we just go home?"
"You can do this." Kurt assured him. "All you have to do is tell the truth and that bastard will be in jail for a really long time." Blaine nodded, knowing Kurt was right.
"All rise for the Honorable Judge Grant." The bailiff announced. Everyone in the courtroom stood and watched as a man in a long black robe walked in a took a seat behind the large desk. Then, everybody else sat down.
"Alright, this case is against, Mr. Elijah Connors." Judge Grant said. "The Defense may begin."
"Thank you, your honor." a young man in a suit replied. "The defense would like to call their first witness, Mr. Blaine Anderson." Blaine took a deep breath and stood up from his seat and walked forward to where the bailiff was waiting. Once there, he laid his hand on the bible.
"Do you swear to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help you God?" the bailiff asked.
"I do." Blaine replied before taking seat at the witness stand.
"So, Mr. Anderson, how do you know the defendant?" the man asked.
"He-He used to be my boyfriend and the father of my daughter, but he hasn't been for a while now." Blaine replied.
"And why is that?" the man questioned.
"He was very abusive." Blaine admitted. "One day he tried to hit my daughter and I couldn't take it. We left that night and never looked back."
"Do you have any proof that the defendant abused you?" The man asked. Blaine looked at the man like he was crazy. Wasn't it obvious? He still had bruises and cuts in his face and his arm was in a cast.
"Umm he's responsible for the bruises and cuts on my face and my broken arm." Blaine replied showing the man his cast.
"I see. However, you said that he used to be abusive. These are pretty recent injuries, are they not?"
"They are." Blaine replied. "After leaving with my daughter, I went to New York. I recently lost my job so we move in with an old friend. Our daughters went to a dance and he posted a picture of them on Facebook where Eli found it. He came to where we were staying and attacked me and my daughter when she tried to help me."
"Understood." The men replied. "Mr Anderson is there any other things Mr Connor's did to u that you would like to tell the court?"
"Umm..." Blaine sighed. This was going to be hard. "Our relationship was never really based on love. It's was based on fear. When we first met, he-he raped me."
"How long ago was that?" The man asked
"Nearly twenty years." Blaine replied sheepishly.
"Twenty years?" The man asked in surprise. "Why didn't you contact the police earlier?"
"B-because I was scared. After he did it, he threaten to kill me and my old friend, who was currently my boyfriend. Wouldn't you be scared too?" Blaine asked.
"I suppose I would," the man admitted, " I just have one more question for you Mr Anderson. Why did you stay? Why didn't you leave sooner with your daughter?"
"You know people don't always think rationally when they're desperate." Blaine replied. "I didn't have anywhere to go or any money. I think I tried to convince myself that it wasn't abuse, the things he was doing, but they were. It all comes down to desperation. I was desperate to make sure my child had food, clothing and roof over her head."
"That'll be all. Thank you." The man replied. Blaine molded and got up from the bench to take his seat next to Kurt. After that more witnesses were called including Molly and alive who recounted the nights events when Eli had found them. It took a whole, but eventually the court ended and the judge was ready to make his verdict.
"Everyone stand." Judge grant said. "In the case concerning Elijah Connors, I find the defendant guilty of domestic abuse, child abuse, assault,and rape. He will spend up to a minimum of twenty years in jails. And for the victims, Blaine and Alice Anderson, there will be compensation. Court adjourned." He finished with a smack of his gavel.
Blaine almost couldn't believe what he was hearing. Eli was going to jail and he was receiving money for it. This day literally could not get any better. Suddenly, Blaine was immersed in three pairs of arms, Kurt's, Molly's, and Alice's, as they hugged them. He was so happy.
A few weeks later just after getting his cast removed, Blaine received a check in the mail. It was from the trial. He opened the envelope and expected maybe a few hundred dollars. But when he opened it, he almost dropped the check. In the little box, the number 50,000 was written. He had received fifty thousand dollars. "Oh my god!" Blaine exclaimed.
"What?" Kurt said running in from the kitchen. "What is it?"
"T-the check...it's for fifty thousand dollars!" Blaine told Kurt. Kurt was shocked. "This is amazing. Alice and I can get an apartment of our own. We can live comfortably for a while. And I have a job. I just- I can't believe this is my life now."
'Yeah, it's pretty amazing.' Kurt replied unenthusiastically. He was glad that things were getting better for Blaine and Alice, but he didn't want them to leave. Before Kurt could say another word, Blaine was off to a rehearsal. Kurt just sighed and went back to what he was doing before. There was nothing he could do. If Blaine wanted to leave, he had every right to go.
Later that night, Kurt come out of his room and found Blaine sitting on the couch on the laptop. He was in his pajamas and glasses and his hair was curly and unruly. The girls were both having a sleepover at Isabelle's with Carolina, so it was just the two of them. "Hey," Kurt said. "What are you doing?"
"Oh, I'm looking at apartment." Blaine replied excitedly. "There's this one that's really nice and it's really close to theater. Oh and this one…" he droned. Finally, something in Kurt cracked.
"Can we just not talk about this tonight?" Kurt snapped.
"What the hell?" Blaine replied. "I thought you'd be happy for me."
"I am." Kurt lied.
"Sure seems like it," Blaine shot back sarcastically. "I'm trying to get back up on my feet with Alice. The least you can do is just support me!"
"Why?" Kurt yelled. "Why would I support you moving out when I'll want you to do is stay!" he said, a few tears in his eyes.
"What?" was all that Blaine could say back.
"I said that I still love you." Kurt said. "I don't want you to move out. I don't want you to leave...I don't want to ever be apart from you again." Blaine smiled and moved closer to Kurt and put his arms around him.
"I'm so sorry." Blaine said. "I-I just didn't really know what we were. I guess I was just confused."
"I said that I was never saying goodbye to you Blaine Anderson and this time, I mean it." Kurt said before plunging his lips into Blaine. They continued to kiss and moved closer and closer to the bedroom in the heat of passion. Kurt pushed Blaine down on top of the bed and kissed him again. But, then he stopped.
"What's wrong?" Blaine asked.
"B-Blaine, are you sure you're ready for this?" Kurt asked. "I-I don't want to push you into anything. I want to make sure-" Then, he was cut off by Blaine's lips.
"Kurt, shut up." he said. "With you, I'm always ready. I love you."
"I love you too." Kurt replied kissing him back. This was their new life and no person or thing was going to get in their way now.
Hey guys! I know it's been a while since I've updated. I'm still in band camp and I'm trying to finish my summer work before school starts so I'm a little busy, but I'm trying for your guys. Unfortunately we only have about two more chapters to this story. But, I have already got two possible stories in my mind. The one is the Heaven Is For Real story, but I may not do that one right now. I actually have a possible AU in my mind that I want to do.
If you guys are wondering, it's sort of like this... (But I still haven't figured it all out. Just a general Idea!)
It would be set in Season 3, 4, and half way through 5
-Summary: Blaine lost his mom to cancer freshmen year. Ever since then it's just been him and his dad (because Cooper's in LA) Unlike most stories, Blaine's dad isn't abusive or unaccepting, he's just really busy. He's a surgeon and doesn't have a lot of time to spend with Blaine. One day Blaine come home and finds Steph (still working on names) and her two daughters Cassidy (14) and Emily (3) in his living room. (Blaine barely knows them).They tell that they've been dating for a while and now Steph and the girls are moving in. Needless to say Blaine and Cassidy don't take it very well. Now Blaine will need Kurt by his side as he goes through these big changes in his life. And later, when things go wrong with Kurt (season 4), will Blaine accept his new family enough to let them help him?
-So that's just the main idea of the story. Let me know what you guys think. Oh and if you were wondering why I was kind of stepping away from the Heaven is for Real story, it's because it's a movie and it's sort of already been written. I can't get very creative and I don't like writing with limits. I like being about to control the plot and throw in whatever I want. Hope you guys understand.
