Kurt was beyond livid with David. This time he had gone too far with fucking with him and this time he was going to give him a piece of his mind.
David had given him his hotel information and he stormed into the hotel and up to his room. He pounded on the door for at least five minutes before Dave opened it. Kurt didn't even bother speaking to him. He shoved him into his room and then stopped when he saw Jamie.
He was sitting on the king sized bed with tears running down his face.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't know you were here, Jamie."
"Sorry? You break up my marriage and all you have to say for yourself is sorry?"
"Wait... what?"
"David called me this afternoon and told me he wasn't coming home. That he was in love with someone else and needed to just let himself be happy for once. Of course I knew it was you. You've always been after him."
"That's not true at all, Jamie."
"What do you mean it's not true? I saw how you were at our wedding, how pathetic you were with pining after him."
"It's true that I was heart broken, but I got over it."
"Right, because kissing my fiancee the night before our wedding is 'getting over it'."
"Excuse me? I did not kiss David."
"That's not what David told me."
Kurt looked at David whose eyes were on the floor.
"Really, David? Really!?"
"I'm sorry, Kurt. I just thought I should for my marriage."
"Are you telling me that Kurt did not kiss you the night before our wedding?"
"Yes. That's what I'm saying. I kissed him. In fact, I begged him to take me back that night and told him I was in love with him. And it was true. It's still true, Jamie. I settled for you and I settled for you working every night for hours and ignoring me and going months without sex or very basic physical contact."
"Oh, I'm sorry that my need to help orphaned children was so inconvenient for you."
"Can I ask you something, Jamie?"
"What?"
"Why did you even propose to me? Was it because you actually loved me or because you didn't want Kurt to win?"
"Does it matter now? Because in the end you left me for him anyway."
"I would have left you even if Kurt wasn't in the picture, Jamie. Because what we have now, is not a real relationship. It's not enough. I do love you and I'm sorry that I have hurt you, but you deserve more."
Jamie got up and grabbed his bag off the bed,
"If you think I'm going to just give you an uncontested divorce, you have another thing coming. It's going to long and drawn out and I'll make your life a living hell. You don't get to humiliate me and then get everything you've ever wanted, while I'm all alone and miserable."
"It doesn't have to be like this, Jamie."
"Fuck off, David. You too, Kurt. I hope you're utterly miserable together."
Jamie stormed out of the room and Kurt who had been sitting watching the entire exchange went over to David who was sitting in shock on his bed.
Kurt went over and rubbed Dave's back,
"I am so sorry, David."
"For what?"
"For this, for it all. "
"You don't have to apologize for Jamie's reaction. I mean, I should have seen it coming. I broke up with him over Skype."
"Yeah, that was a dick move, but I have to ask and please don't hate me, but does he always treat you like that?"
"Like what?"
"Like an emotionally and verbally abusive asshole?"
"He just has anger issues sometimes. He's never hit me or anything. Just sometimes he says mean things when he gets mad."
"How often did he say stuff like that?"
"I should have known better. Sometimes I provoked him and I deserved it."
"Don't you say that, David. You did not deserve any of it. Why would you put up with that?"
"I don't know. He loved me and he fought for me. You want the truth?"
"Yes, of course."
"I still feel guilty pretty much every day when I'm around you."
"Guilty for what?"
"For high school. Everything about high school was awful for us, even when I tried to kill myself. There was not one time where I felt like we were actually okay, other than the time when you told me we could be friends, but it didn't happen and I knew that things weren't okay and never would be. I've been carrying around the guilt of taking your first kiss, terrorizing you, making you feel horrible, trying to guilt you into loving me back and forcing my feelings on you."
Kurt's heart hurt as he heard Dave pour out his heart and finally tell him the truth.
"The truth is, Kurt, I've never felt good enough for you. Even now I still carry around a lot of that anxiety of being second best and not your first choice and that someday you will wake up and want someone else. So, I married someone who I thought actually wanted me and wouldn't leave me if I messed up."
Kurt shook his head,
"Stop it, David. Stop blaming yourself. I have forgiven you. I forgave you in high school. Our friendship not panning out in high school is not your fault. It's mostly my fault honestly. I wasn't ready to start a relationship with you, any kind of relationship with you. Truth is, David. I loved what you did for me on that Valentine's day. In fact, I was actually tempted to say yes to you and see where it could take me. When everything went down in the aftermath, I felt incredibly guilty. I felt like I was to blame for you feeling so much pain and anguish and I couldn't fix it. I couldn't take it away for you."
"That wasn't your job, Kurt. My suicide attempt was much more about not liking who I was and dealing with other people not liking who I was either."
"Listen to me, David. I love who you are. I don't care what high school you did, or how we got here, but you are good enough for anyone and you are definitely more than good enough for me. Jamie didn't deserve your love if all he did was push it aside and make you feel bad about yourself."
Dave sighed and stood up. He rubbed a hand through his hair as he paced the floor,
"I could understand if you wanted to just cut out now. This is going to get really ugly, for a long time."
"You really think I'm going to walk away, now? Let me tell you something. I was on my way over here to dump you, because Rachel told me everything you talked about. She told me that you hadn't left Jamie and that he was moving here and I was furious, because of what we talked about."
"I did though."
"I know that now and I feel as if I am as much a part of your marriage ending as you are. So I'm not going to abandon you to face Jamie's wrath alone."
David hugged Kurt and kissed him goodnight for real,
"Do you want to have breakfast tomorrow morning?"
"Definitely."
"Thank you for standing by me."
"You are more than welcome, David. Remember, you deserve to be happy. I plan on making that my number one job."
David smiled and kissed him again and walked him to the door.
As Kurt headed home he thought back to Jamie and Dave's relationship and decided to call in a few favor's on Dave's behalf.
