Chapter 16 To Tell The Truth

Blaine and Kurt walked through the front door of Vogue, somewhere Blaine hadn't been in a long time, not since before him and Kurt had broken up. He had only been there a few times even then. Kurt had always said he wanted to keep his personal and professional life separate. Blaine hadn't understood it at the time but had gone along with it. After the breakup, Blaine had figured it was so that Kurt would have a place where he could get away. Blaine had never disturbed him here, even though more than once, he had wanted to.

They took the elevator to the tenth floor, and Blaine followed Kurt to Isabelle's office. After knocking, Kurt opened her door, and they walked in. Isabelle looked up, saw Blaine and jumped up out of her chair, and ran over to hug him. It had been a long time since she had seen him. She had joked with Kurt about getting Blaine to do an interview, but hadn't really expected he would do it. But now, according to what Kurt had said over the phone, Blaine was not only going to be doing an interview, it would be a Vogue exclusive. Vogue would be the only outlet that he would be speaking to. The potential revenue from that interview was mind-blowing. She had asked Kurt to bring him in right away before he had a chance to change his mind.

"Blaine, it is good to see you again. I wanted to offer you and your daughter, my condolences," She said, hugging him just a little tighter before releasing him.

"Thank you Isabelle, that means a lot," Blaine says with a small smile, not understanding why he was nervous all of a sudden. He had given red carpet interviews and hadn't felt a bit nervous, but for some reason with this one, he did. He knew he would be the one controlling the commentary this time, but that didn't change anything.

"Ok. Kurt said you wanted to do an interview with us. Before going in, can I ask what you are willing to talk about and what you aren't? I don't want to step on any toes," She said before motioning him and Kurt to sit down and then walking around behind her desk and sitting back down, looking at them.

"I guess this is going to be a tell-all. I assume you saw the papers this morning. Well, I heard from my lawyer that there is going to be a lot more coming out, and I wanted to get in front of it. I want to tell my side before everything gets spun out of control. I was advised by my lawyer what I should or shouldn't talk about, but most of it is an open book," Blaine answered her.

"When do you want to do this interview?" Isabelle asked, starting to get excited.

"To be honest as soon as possible. I know Vogue doesn't normally do this kind of interview, since you are mainly a fashion magazine, but with Kurt working here, I felt like this was a safe place, where I could tell my truth and not have to worry about my words being taken out of context or have words added that I never said," Blaine said leaning forward looking at her.

"Ok, financial wise, how much are you wanting to get paid for doing this interview, " she asked, getting right into the business aspect of this meeting.

"Absolutely nothing," Blaine said "Well actually, let me rephrase that, I don't want anything financially for doing it. I don't know if Kurt has told you yet, but he and I have recently gotten back together, and yes, that is something you can print," Blaine said, laughing, looking at Kurt, getting a nod in return.

"In Bryce's will, I was left an apartment here in New York, one in Paris and one in London. We have already checked out the one here, but I still have two more to go through. Kurt was really helpful when I was sorting through Bryce's stuff in mine and his apartment in California. I was at a complete loss as to what to do with everything, and Kurt stepped in and helped organize it all. I could use his help with the other two. Kurt said he has two weeks of vacation time he has put in for, but I don't know if that will be enough time to get everything done. I was hoping that you could give him another two weeks off to help me. I know he isn't one the people who normally does your interviews, but he could come with me, check out the places that were owned by Bryce, and write a piece on what we find. He could also do one about what we found here in New York." Blaine stated.

"Blaine….?" Kurt said, looking at him in shock.

"Oh shit, Kurt. I meant to ask you, would you mind coming with me to London and Paris to check out the other two apartments?" Blaine said with a mischievous grin on his face, "I did ask if you still had your passport, remember…?"

Blaine had already had his passport from when he and his parents had gone to London for the first time, back before he had met Kurt. He had convinced Kurt to get a passport right after they had gotten engaged. When he and Kurt had first met, back when they were still just friends, Kurt had always talked about wanting to go to Paris one day. That is why he took French in school even though all his friends thought he was crazy for doing so. Blaine remembered that after they had become a couple, they had spent hours cuddled up with each other talking about all the places they wanted to one day visit, and Paris had always been at the top of Kurt's list. So the minute Kurt had agreed to marry him, Blaine had put plans in motion to take Kurt there for their honeymoon.

He had convinced Kurt to get his passport, without giving him a reason why. Blaine had wanted to surprise him. He had had it all planned out, he had checked out the different hotels in the area and knew the one he wanted to get for them. He had made a list of all the different places Kurt had talked about wanting to see and had planned on them exploring each and every one of them. When Kurt had started pulling away a little before their last break up, when Blaine always seemed to have time on his hands waiting for Kurt to come home, that was how Blaine would spend his time, figuring out where they would go. He would spend hours looking at web page after web page, making a list, mapping everything out.

"Ok, so you'll give us an exclusive interview, plus a tour of the apartments you were left correct?" Isabelle asked.

"Yes, and all I ask is that Kurt gets an extra two weeks off to help with everything. I have no idea what the Paris apartment is going to be like. I have seen the London one briefly. We had to go in and get some stuff for Sere right after Shey died. There was so much stuff in there, and I have no clue what to do with any of it, or even where to begin," Blaine answered.

"Would you be ok with us putting a written interview in the magazine and a recorded one for the Vogue website?" She asked, and Blaine could almost see the wheels spinning in her head.

"Yes, that'll be fine. All I ask is that Kurt is allowed to look over the written interview before it is published. I trust you and your team Isabelle, but I trust Kurt more. I know he'll keep my best interest at heart, not so much the interest of the magazine. Will that be acceptable to you?" Blaine asks, looking her in the eye.

"We can do that. If you would like, we can get started now," Isabelle said, standing up.

"Ok, so we'll do the interview with you today, and get it on the website tonight. We can then do a special publication run, so we could potentially have the magazine out tomorrow as well, instead of the day after the way it was scheduled. Would that work for you?" She asks, her head still spinning from the financial aspect.

Blaine looked at Kurt and then nodded his head. "As long as what we agreed on stands, and Kurt gets to look it over before it is published, then yes, that will be perfect," Blaine answered, standing up and following Isabelle out of her office and into the makeup room. That was one part of 'Always' he definitely didn't miss. The feel of makeup caked on his skin. It was right up there with the hair gel he used to wear, he thought shaking his head.

"Kurt, I know you are off, but if we want to have any chance of this magazine being published tonight, I am going to need you to stay late to read over Blaine's interview, and then you can have a month off with pay. All I ask is that you take a lot of pictures of the apartments and how they look when you walk in. I would like to get Blaine's permission to send a camera crew into the apartment here in New York to take pictures of it." Isabelle said, looking at Kurt.

"I think he'll be ok with that. I can ask. You guys could be doing that while I'm looking over the interview, getting it ready for the press release," Kurt responded.

"That'll work, and Kurt, I'm really happy for the both of you. I know how much you have missed him and how devastated you were when you found out he was married. I have a question, is he really over Bryce enough to think about being in another relationship this soon?" she asked, looking at Kurt, not for the interview but because she cared about Kurt and didn't want to see him hurt again.

"That'll be a good question for the interview, and to be honest, I believe you and the readers will be shocked. I am going to leave it there. That way, Blaine can say what he needs to say," Kurt responded with a small smile.

Yes, Blaine was ready for the interview, but Kurt also knew how he felt. Blaine had entered that marriage, expecting it to last. That is just how Blaine is. When he started something like that, he was in it for the long haul unless given a reason. Kurt could sadly attest to that. He knows that if he hadn't pushed Blaine away, he would never have gotten caught up with either Eli or Bryce. He had caused Blaine a lot of pain and would spend the rest of his life trying to make that up to him. He was just glad that Blaine was giving him a chance to try. Kurt stood back and watched as Isabelle and Blaine sat down in chairs facing each other. Both, smiling for the cameras.

"Today, Vogue will be airing an exclusive interview with Blaine Anderson, the first one he has agreed to do since the death of his husband, Bryce Mitchell. We are excited to have you here with us today Blaine," Isabelle said, starting the interview.

"It's nice to be here," Blaine said with a small smile still feeling nervous, looking over at Kurt, seeing the look of love on his face, helped him to relax a little.

"So Blaine, tell us a little about yourself. What does the world not know about Blaine Anderson?" Isabelle asks with a smile and laugh.

"Well, I grew up in Westerville, Ohio. I have a wonderful set of parents that have been there for me every step of my life. They have been supportive of everything I have ever attempted. I have a wonderful older brother Cooper Drew, who was the reason I started acting, to begin with. I went to high school at Dalton Academy, where I was the lead vocalist for our school's glee club, The Warblers. I met a lot of amazing people there and made a lot of good friends. The school saved me in a way." Blaine said, looking at Isabelle.

"In my sophomore year, a boy came to our school to spy on us. I don't know if it was our setlist he wanted or what, but I have to admit he was the cutest boy I'd ever seen in my life. He was amazing, and I couldn't stop myself from looking at him. I remember The Warblers had an impromptu performance that day. I was already running late, but I just couldn't let this guy get away. I couldn't let him just disappear, so I grabbed his hand and made him come with me. I remember running down the hallway, still holding his hand. It was the most magical feeling I had ever had in my life. Something told me this boy was special. I just didn't know until later just how special he was. That day, we were singing Teenage Dream, and I couldn't keep my eyes off of him, I think I spent most of that performance singing to him. It took me a while to realize, but a very important relationship in my life started that day," Blaine said with a faraway look on his face.

"Because of issues he was having at his old school, he ended up transferring to Dalton not long after that, and he quickly became my very best friend. He was there during one of the most embarrassing moments of my life. I won't go too far into it, but let's just say it involved the gap and a curly-haired blond, and we will leave it at that." Blaine said, laughing, looking over at Kurt, seeing him just shake his head. "We ended up falling in love, or as my other friends would tell you, I finally got my head out of my ass and realized what had been right in front of me the whole time. He ended up transferring back to his old school towards the end of that year, and I transferred to be with him the next year," Blaine said, looking at Isabelle, not really knowing how much backstory she wanted him to give.

"What happened to him?" she asks, looking at Blaine, already knowing the story of both breakups, but wanting Blaine only to give the story he wants to.

"We were in school together. It was my junior year in high school and his senior. We had our ups and downs that year, but mainly we were in love. We spent every moment we could together because I knew the moment he graduated, he would be moving here to New York. I knew I was going to be spending a year away from him, so I had to spend as much time with him as I could. We ended up pulling apart at the beginning of my senior year. We had issues that neither one of us handled very well. We broke up. It was a very sad time in my life. He was my first boyfriend, and to be honest, I always thought he would be my last. But there was hurt on both sides, mistakes made by both of us." Blaine said, looking at Kurt.

"We were apart for about six months, and then we got back together. We were actually engaged for a while, but once again, outside forces pulled us apart, and we ended up breaking up again and ending our engagement. We were both living together here in New York, going to the same school. I don't know if we were spending too much time together or not enough, but before I knew what was happening, our engagement was off, and we were over again. That was one of the most painful moments of my life, to be honest, hearing words spoken that I hadn't expected. After that, I dropped out of NYADA and moved back home. I started working with my old glee club as a coach. I did that for a few months, and some things started happening, and I decided I needed a fresh start. I needed to get out of Ohio. I worked out a two-week notice and moved to California."

"I had been there for two weeks when my brother called to tell me that Fox was starting a new show. Cooper convinced me to audition for it, and man was I surprised when I got it. I met Bryce on my first day on the set of South of Always. We hit it off. He was fun and easy to be with, and we became friends. As time went along, we became more. We ended up starting to date, and then he became my boyfriend. I started developing feelings for him. It wasn't love, let me say that up front, but I did care a lot about him. I had told him about my past relationship and where my heart still belonged. He was fine with that because he was in pretty much the same situation. He had feelings for me, but he said he knew he would never love me because his heart also belonged to an ex. We were the perfect couple. We were good together."

"The night we aired the first episode of Always, Bryce had come home with me. About one in the morning, he got a phone call telling him that his ex-girlfriend had been in a horrible accident and that he was still listed as her emergency contact person. He was pretty much told that if he wanted to see her alive again, he needed to get to London as fast as possible. We were too late. She died about thirty minutes before we got there," Blaine said, still remembering holding a shaking Bryce in his arms as he cried.

"Oh wow, Blaine, that's so sad," Isabelle said, looking at him.

"It was. Bryce was devastated. She had been the one he still loved. She was the one that still had his heart. I remember holding him as he cried, sitting on the floor of that hospital, wondering how I would have handled it if things had been reversed, and that had been the person I loved that had just died. I broke down with him," Blaine said once again looking at Kurt.

"We sat there like that for about ten minutes, me just holding him while he cried, and then a nurse came in with this infant in her arms. That is how Bryce found out he had a daughter. When he and Shey broke up, she hadn't told him she was pregnant. She knew how Bryce felt about children. He was very upfront about the fact he didn't want kids. Bryce didn't want to be a father, and then he found out after she died that he was one. He was listed on the birth certificate as such. He had no clue what to do with this baby, and to be honest, after the first look at her, I fell in love. What was so funny looking at her, she could have been my daughter as much as Bryce's. She looked as much like me as she did him. It was like a combination of both of us." Blaine said with a soft smile, thinking about his Sere.

Isabelle looked at him, shocked, "how is that even possible, " she asked, looking at him.

"That is a long story that I will have to get back to you on. Maybe a second interview at a later date," Blaine said with a grin.

"Ok, continue then," Isabelle said with a small laugh.

"As I said, I fell in love with that little girl. I decided in that instant I wanted her to be mine. I wanted to adopt her. Bryce and I talked and decided to get married so we could be a family for Sere. Was it the smartest decision I have ever made in my life, no, but I didn't realize until later just how bad of a decision that was," Blaine answered, looking at Kurt again.

"How long were you married before you realize something wasn't right?" Isabelle asked, looking at him. Feeling so bad for him, she always had liked Blaine. He always seemed to really love Kurt. Yes, there was the whole cheating thing while he was in school, but she knew that that had hurt him as much as it did Kurt.

"To be honest, a little over a month, we had to hang around London for a few weeks before we could get Sere's passport and bring her home. While we were there, everything seemed fine. We enjoyed spending time together as a family. It wasn't until we had been home for a while that things started falling apart. Right after getting married, we decided that since we now had Sere, if one of us had to be away on a shoot, the other person would just work locally, that way one of us would always be with her. Bryce started getting more and more work and started being gone more than he was home. He would come home for a night or two and then would be gone for a month. We were spending no time together at all, and the time we were together was usually spent arguing with each other," Blaine answered, looking at her. He couldn't keep the sadness out of his voice, remembering how his marriage had fallen apart.

"I remember the night of the awards show that he showed up without you, was that part of the problem?" She asked him

"Yes, we had one of our worst fights that night. He came in at the last minute from the set he was working on. I thought he was going to come home, and we would show up together. I waited until the last minute and then decided to go alone. When I got there, he was already there. He hadn't even bothered to call me and let me know he was back in town. I decided that if he could show up alone, then I could be there alone as well. Usually, I walked up to him in situations like that, this time, I didn't. I figured if he didn't want to wait on me, I didn't want to wait on him. He got a little pissed at me." Blaine said, looking at her, thinking that was a big understatement.

"Ok, during your performance with your old glee club, I heard you mention Nemo, and then when you won the first award, you mentioned Nemo again, and not Bryce. What was that about?" She asked, looking at him.

Blaine looked at Kurt for a moment and felt as tears filled his eyes, needing him to say it was ok to tell "their story" a story only they knew. Kurt looked at him for a minute and then slowly nodded his head.

Blaine turned his eyes back to Isabelle, absentmindedly playing with the bracelet he had on his wrist. "When I was with my first boyfriend, when I realized how very much in love with him I was, I called him my Nemo. He kind of laughed and asked me why I had called him that. We both loved Disney movies, but he still couldn't figure out why. I remember looking into his beautiful eyes and saying you are my Nemo. I finally found you, and I am never going to lose you. I'm never going to let you go. I will never have to find you again. It became a thing with us, he was my Nemo, but I ended up losing him after all. I guess in a way, when I said that that night I was trying to find him again. I knew my marriage was over, I wasn't trying to reconnect with my ex to hook back up with him, but because, before we even started dating, he was my very best friend, and I wanted him back in my life. I needed him in it again. I needed my friend."

Isabelle just looked at him, not even knowing what to say. She knew who he was talking about. She had known he loved Kurt, but never realized until that moment just how much.

Blaine silently wiped a tear off of his cheek, looking at Kurt, feeling the hurt all over again, and watching as tears slowly ran down Kurt's cheeks. They had both hurt each other so much, but if Blaine could help it that would never happen again, Kurt was back in his life, and he wasn't going to let him go again.

"Do you need a break?" Isabelle asked, looking at Blaine, seeing him look over her shoulder to where she knows Kurt was standing, wishing that neither one of them had had to feel the hurt they were now going through.

"No, I'm ok, and, were are getting close to the end. Whew, ok now the not so nice part. After that show, Bryce and I really started falling apart. The night he left our apartment for the last time, I begged him to stay, to work on us, to spend time with Sere, to see if we could work things out. We had the biggest argument we had ever had, words were said on both sides, and he walked out of the door, slamming it behind him. After he left, I picked up Sere and went to see a divorce attorney. Our marriage was over; there was no way of fixing our problems if he wasn't willing to try. I officially filed for divorce that day."

"This next part is tough to talk about. I always thought of myself as a smart person. I usually had pretty good judgment, but in this case, I was so, so far off base, it isn't even funny. I have only discussed this with my family and my friend. So bear with me," Blaine says once again, looking up at Kurt, needing his support. Knowing he needed to say the next part didn't make it any easier to do so.

"The day I found out that Bryce had been killed on the set of his last movie, I, of course, got on the next flight to Morocco. I was devastated, thinking about our last argument, the last words I ever said to him. He was once my friend, and before the end, I almost hated him. I had to identify the body and then was taken to the set so I could pick up any personal effects he had left in his trailer. You wanna hear the funny part first, this morning I found out that Bryce's parents had been having me followed since the day I married him. They thought I was cheating on him, and they were trying to get proof of it. I never cheated on him, not once. I took my marriage vows very seriously."

"You see, I had cheated on my first boyfriend, and that is why he broke up with me. I broke his trust and his heart. Yes, I only ever kissed the other guy, but that was still cheating," Blaine said, looking at Isabelle.

"What…?" Kurt yelled.

"Cut…" Isabelle said, stopping the recording.

"Why didn't you tell me, why did you let me believe you had sex with Eli? Why didn't you tell me it was just a kiss?" Kurt said, crying, tears running down his face.

"Kurt, I tried to, but you wouldn't listen to me, remember you ran away after I told you about Eli and me, and then you wouldn't talk to me the next morning. I tried again to tell you when you came back to McKinley to watch us do Grease. I begged you to listen to me, and you just told me you didn't want to talk about it. That Rachel was right, that that wasn't your home anymore. When we got back together, it was an unspoken agreement that we would leave the past in the past," Blaine said, looking at him.

"No, Blaine, No," Kurt cried out, falling to his knees, breaking down.

Blaine was out of his seat in an instant and had Kurt in his arms, holding him, rubbing his back. "Shh Kurt sweetheart, don't cry. That's over and done with. It's in the past, baby shh. We can't change it. We can only look forward to our future," Blaine said, kissing him on his head, not letting him go.

"But Blaine, you don't understand. The night I broke up with you, that had a lot to do with it. I was nervous about whether or not we would make it. I thought about what April said about teen marriages ending in divorce, and then I thought about you cheating on me. I panicked, and I broke up with you. If I had only listened to you back then, none of this would have happened. I would never have broken up with you. You cheating on me shocked me to the core. If there was one thing in my life, I was sure of it was you. That you loved me, and that you would never hurt me. You were always my true constant, my rock, my everything. If you could cheat that easily, then what. I know I forgave you and agreed to the engagement. I honestly thought I had worked past it. That I could do it, I could marry you, but the closer the time came, the more it hit me, the more scared I became," Kurt says, crying even harder, holding on to Blaine, like if he let go, he would sink.

"Kurt sweetheart, don't cry, please. It doesn't matter how I cheated. I still cheated. You had every right to feel the way you did. I destroyed your trust in me. I did the one thing I never thought I would do. I hurt the person I loved more than life itself, and I will spend the rest of my life trying to make that up to you. Kurt, please, please don't cry," Blaine said, pulling Kurt even closer, completely forgetting about Isabelle and the cameramen in the background.

Blaine gently pulled away from Kurt, bringing up his hands to frame his face, gently raising his head so that Kurt was looking at him. "I love you Kurt, now and always," he whispered before placing a gentle kiss on Kurt's lips and then pulled him back to him again. They stayed like that for several minutes, just holding each other, helping each other heal.

"Ok, sweetheart, I'm going to finish this interview up so that you can help get everything uploaded and ready to print. When you're done, meet me at the apartment, and we'll talk. Ok?" Blaine whispered in Kurt's ear, kissing him one more time on the cheek and then walked back to his seat. With a nod from Isabelle, the cameras started recording again.

"Ok, so Bryce's family had me followed because they were sure I was cheating on Bryce. One of the reporters they had paid to follow me was the one who took a picture of me kissing my ex-boyfriend at the airport. The one paper printed 'where was poor Sere, while I was chasing this other man.' If they had been paying attention, they would have seen that she was in the stroller in front of me. I was taking her to my mom to watch for me so I could check out the apartments."

"I didn't know what situation they might be in and wanted to leave her somewhere that I knew she would be safe and have everything that she needed. Anyway, I never did, nor would I have cheated on Bryce. I wasn't happy with our relationship true, but I had seen first hand what cheating could cause, and it wasn't worth it. I spoke with a lawyer like I said, I was going to divorce him, not cheat on him."

"Now, the not so funny part," Blaine said, looking at Isabelle, feeling angry all over again. "As I said, I was taken to Bryce's trailer, so I could pick up any personal items and take them home. Yes, I was planning on ending our relationship, but I still had his daughter at home. I wanted to pick up things for her so that she would be able to keep a connection with her papa. Unfortunately, what I found was nothing I would ever let my daughter or anyone else see." Blaine stopped for a minute, running his hand through his hair and then down his face. Without realizing it, his voice got softer, looking past, Isabelle but not seeing anything, so lost in his own thoughts.

"Blaine, what did you find?" Isabelle asked, looking at him concerned. He had gotten so quiet, when all through the interview, he had been strong and secure with what he was saying. When Blaine looked at her, she could see the shock and devastation in his eyes and dreaded what he was about to say next.

"Umm, I found his journal. When we were both doing 'Always,' he would spend a lot of time writing in that journal. He always had it with him. After we got married, it was the same. I caught him several times writing in it. Sometimes he would smile, but other times he would almost look sullen. I didn't know what was going on, and he wouldn't talk to me about it. He kept it to himself. When I found it, I thought good, here's something that I could save for my daughter, something she could read later in life so that she could know her papa, not just by my words, she would have his as well. Now, I hope like hell she never finds out the kind of man he was or that he was even her father," Blaine said, looking at Isabelle, and she already knew what he was about to say next wasn't going to be good.

"At first it was nice, he talked about how we first met, his first feeling and it erased some of the anger I had built up towards him during our marriage, that is until I got further into the journal. Here is the hard part. What I didn't know and what he failed to tell me was that he had been married before when he was sixteen. Apparently, he had gotten his girlfriend pregnant, and their parents signed for them to get married. She ended up losing the baby, and they eventually broke up. He never got a divorce," Blaine said, looking at her.

"What?" she asked in shock looking at Blaine, not believing this

"Yeah, it would seem he just decided that if he ever wanted to get remarried that he would worry about a divorce then. According to his journal, before marrying me, he asked his father if it would be legal to marry me since he was technically married to his high school sweetheart. His dad convinced him that since she was a girl and I was a man, there would be no problem with us getting married. I guess he thought that gay marriage doesn't work the same as straight, I don't know," Blaine said, shrugging his shoulders.

"So, your marriage to Bryce was never legal then?" Isabelle asks in shock.

"Apparently not. After Bryce's funeral, after the reading of the will in which Bryce left me everything, including the house his parents currently live in, his lawyer told me that Bryce was cautious with the wording of his will. He didn't mention he was leaving everything to his husband. He just said he was leaving everything to Blaine Anderson. He left his parents nothing but a one-dollar bill, and that was all." Blaine continued telling her about the rest of the will, where everything that had been left to Bryce by Shey had been passed to him for Sere.

"The bad thing is that after the funeral, Bryce's parents pretty much told me that they were going to fight me for Sere, they were going to have the adoption negated and take her from me because my marriage to Bryce had never been legal anyway. They had already talked to a lawyer. When they found out that I was getting everything, even their house, they offered to let me 'have' Sere, they wouldn't fight me for her if I signed the house over to them. I lost my cool, and even though my intention as soon as I heard I was getting the house was to sign it over to them, I lost it and told them to be out by Saturday. I don't want the stupid house, but after the things they called my daughter and the things they said, I'll be damned if they're getting anything," Blaine said, finishing.

"So, they're fighting you for your daughter that you legally adopted. What are their grounds to do that?" she asked, getting mad at two people she didn't even know.

"Their thing is that Bryce was her father by blood. I was just her adopted father. They are blood relatives, and so she should go to them. The bad thing is that they don't want her for her. They want Sere for the money her mother left her. Unlike me, who put everything in a trust for my daughter, they just want to have access to it spend it. They want to treat my daughter the way they treated their son, and I'll be damned if I let that happen." Blaine said, getting pissed off again.

"Ok, you've mentioned your daughter's mother several times. Was she famous? Was she someone we would know?" Isabelle questioned him.

"Yes, her mother was Shey Alexander, the actress," Blaine answered.

"You're kidding me?" Isabelle said with a smile

"No, I'm serious, and if I get to come back for a second interview, I'll have more to say on her," Blaine said with a little laugh, remembering almost too late that he wasn't supposed to say anything about Shey being his sister, that his dad wanted to save that surprise for court. "Shey had always been one of my favorite actresses, and I loved everything she was in. She was amazing. I saw and loved almost everything she was in, including her one play. I found several pictures of Sere and Shey when we went to her apartment looking for things for Sere. Trying to get what we thought she would need until we could buy more. Shey had left a letter for Bryce at the hospital and it mentioned some important papers as well as a teddy bear Shey had bought for Sere before she was born. She asked Bryce to get it for Sere, and to tell her how much she was loved. That apartment was full of pictures, and you could tell with one look just how much that little girl had been loved. I just hate it that Sere will have to grow up not knowing her. I will tell her everything I can, but I don't really know that much about Shey's personal life. I'm hoping when I go back to London, I'll be able to find things there. I am hoping that she was like Bryce and kept journals or scrapbooks. Things I can save for Sere for when she is older and starts having questions about her mom," Blaine answered, feeling sadness for his daughter once again, thinking about how she would have to grow up never knowing her amazing mother.

"So, what's your next move?" Isabelle asked, smiling because she always loves it when the good win.

"Well, a lawsuit was filed on my behalf this morning in the California court systems by my lawyer. We will be suing June and John Mitchell for defamation of character, and conspiracy to commit fraud. They let me marry Bryce, knowing that he wasn't legally free to do so. I have written proof in Bryce's own handwriting. They have nothing. And if that wasn't enough, they offered to let me 'buy' my daughter in front of not one but two different officers of the court. There are a few more things that I can't legally talk about right now, but it doesn't look good for them," Blaine answered with as much information as he could. Not wanting to give any additional information to the Mitchells until they were in court. That is when they will find out about the financial side of the lawsuit. They weren't gonna know what hit them, Blaine thought with a smile.

"So, where do you plan on going forward. Are you going back to California, back to acting?" she asked.

"No, I'm done with all of that. It was fun when I was filming, Always, I love the crew I was working with, my brother and Bryce at the time, but no, I won't be going back to that life. I don't like being followed everywhere I go by cameras. Worrying about what might be said in the papers about me that might be taken the wrong way by the people I love. Having an intimate moment with my boyfriend deemed front-page newsworthy. I want a quiet life with him, and my daughter," Blaine said, looking at Kurt with a smile because he had finally said his boyfriend, not his ex.

"That was the first time you said boyfriend Blaine," Isabelle said with a smile, "You've said ex all the way through this interview. Ssooo, which is it? Ex or boyfriend."

"I'm very proud to say, my boyfriend. We reconnected right after Bryce died. I needed someone to talk to, and he was the one who always understood me better than anyone else. There were some personal things in the journal that kind of shook me to the core. He was able to talk me through it. As usual, he was able to save me from myself. He has agreed to give us another chance," Blaine said, smiling proudly.

"Well, I happen to know your 'boyfriend,' and I can tell you that I am happy for both of you. I have seen the two of you together, and you are perfect for each other. I wish you both long and happy lives, " she said, meaning every word.

"Thank you for that," Blaine said with a smile spreading across his face.

"Well, there you have it, the first interview with Blaine Anderson. The full interview will be available tomorrow in our magazine. Go check it out. Once again, thank you, Blaine, for agreeing to do this interview, " she said, standing up and reaching out to shake his hand.

"Thank you for having me and listening to all my ramblings," Blaine said before reaching out and hugging her.

"Cut," Isabelle said, and Kurt walked over to Blaine and into his arms.

The cover that appeared on the newsstands the next morning with Blaine's written permission had a picture of Bryce in one of his last movies, and the headline that went with simply said: Golden Boy Not So Golden.
