And I do believe we are back to the twice-weekly updates. This is again a sorry for missing last week. Now, I cannot promise this every week; sometimes you will just get the Thursday. But let's see how we go. Thank you for reading.

Finn must have noticed too, because he looked up with his eyes sparkling. "You mean Eyes?" The sparkle faded and he looked back at his hands. "Yeah, he's good. Karofsky's lot haven't taken too nicely to him, but, you know, he's here. It's better than being alone in DC. He said he wishes you get better soon."
My heart stopped beating for a second. Had I heard and read that right? No, I can't have... "He... he did?"
Finn looked up. "Um, I don't know? Sure. Why not?"
I felt my insides collapse on themselves. "Nevermind," I mumbled.
I waited until Finn had gone to hide my face under my pillow and cry. Kurt hadn't said those things. Kurt didn't care. He didn't care if I was okay and he didn't care if I ever replied to him and he just didn't care. Full stop. How could I ever have been so stupid as to think that maybe we could be something, maybe we could be together. Stupid. Stupid stupid. I wasn't even out. Why would he have liked me? Stupid stupid stupid.
I felt a hand on my shoulder and flinched, throwing the pillow off my head. I looked straight at Cooper, my gaze still obscured by falling and smudged tears.
"What?" I roared. He looked taken aback, and I used that to my advantage. "What are you staring at? Just go, Cooper. Go! I don't need you. All you do is sit there. Why don't you leave, huh? Why don't you leave like you've left before. Don't pity me. Don't you dare."
Hot tears tumbled down my cheeks. Now, I was angry. What right did my 'brother' think he had in coming back? He was no brother of mine. He had left as soon as he could, and why? Because of me. Because I was too much of a hassle for him and because he couldn't bring girls back to his room and because he'd fallen out with dad due to sticking up for me and because I was never good enough. Because of all that.
"Get out," I spoke, keeping my voice level. I lay back down calmly, turning my back on him. He got up and walked away. I felt my bedroom door shut behind him.
