He was exhausted. He had arrived back in New York early the next morning and having slept the whole time on the flight, had missed a whole bunch of messages and calls from everyone.

He had been expecting them, had been expecting everyone to be upset with him for breaking up with Blaine, for people like Rachel, Tina and Santana to take Blaine's side. He just hadn't expected everyone to know so soon. He had just called it off less than 24 hours ago and they already knew.

Of course they already knew, being that Blaine was the whiny, dramatic cry baby that he usually was. He probably had left the restaurant and went straight to Tina or Kitty, two of the biggest gossipiest he knew and the three of them managed to get the word out to everyone else. He had changed his relationship status but no one ever paid attention to that so it must have been Blaine's doing.

He would've ignored them all, deleting his message and call logs but he had to search through all the messages to find his stuff for work and school. He had no choice but to at least scroll past all of them and at least he could figure out what he was working with and who was on his side.

So once he had grabbed his luggage from the airport and left, going to a nearby café to grab a coffee, he sat down at one of the tables outside and reluctantly opened his messages.

He didn't like what he saw.

Rachel: ( (Kurt's relationship status)) Please tell me this is a joke Kurt, how could you? After all that hard work Blaine put into that performance, that's horrible, you're horrible 👿👿

Santana: You have a lot of explaining to do Lady Hummel, why did Blaine call me at 2 o'clock in the morning, crying because you broke up with him and gave back that ring? I missed out on my sleep and it's because of your dumb, selfish ass

Tina: I always knew Blaine was too good for you, you know nothing about love Kurt, Blaine's heart is broken because of you, he won't stop crying, I hate you

Unknown: Who knew someone like you could be so cruel, aren't all you femme gays supposed to be all sunshine and rainbows, willing to stick your d*** anything? It took us hours to work on that proposal for you, you're so selfish, I knew I never liked you 😡

Mercedes: What the hell boo? I flew in all the way from LA where I was working on my record for you and now I'm learning that the wedding is off? Way to be selfish 😑😑

Unknown: I barely even know you dude but not cool, Blaine loves you, why'd you break up with him?

Unique: You owe me nine hours of my life Kurt Hummel, I expected better from you, that was harsh 😱😱

Noah: Not cool Kurt, I don't even really like Blaine but what you did was rotten 😤😤

Nick: Hi Kurt, how are you doing? My social media has been blowing up all night with hate messages for you and condolences for Blaine and I don't really know what's up except for that you broke off the engagement. I'm not mad at you though and you certainly don't have to explain yourself to me but if you want to you can, I just want to make sure you're okay. Text me back when you see this, take care! 😊😊

Jeff: Hey Kurtie, it's Jeff. I know we haven't talked in a while because well you've been busy in New York I bet (lucky you!) but I heard what happened and I mean you and Blaine are both of my friends but I know how big of a baby he can be and I know he cheated on you so I get it and I'm on your side on this. But I see what people are saying about you and it's not very nice, you haven't responded to any of it so I don't know if you've seen it yet but I suggest not paying it any mind, haters gonna hate. Anyway I love you and when you get a chance, if you want to, we can talk about it.

Sam: Kurt, it's Sam. I know you broke off the engagement with Blaine and I know everyone's kind of hating on you right now but I want to let you know that I'm on your side.

Sam: I mean Blaine's my best friend and everything but you're my friend too and you guys are too young to get married

Sam: Plus he was just crushing on me a few weeks earlier so…

Sam: But anyway I saw how upset you were at Dalton so I hope you're okay and you can talk to me if you want 😀😀

Artie: Kurt I might come to New York just to kick some sense into you, wtf man? Why would you say yes just to say no the next day? This isn't the kind of thing where you can just change your mind, you really hurt Blaine. He's heartbroken and we need him at his best for Nationals! You ruined him 😭😭

Sebastian: I really hope that this is you Hummel but seriously thank you for breaking up with that jackass, the idiot interrupted Warbler rehearsal just to ask if we could help him out and first off all I would never do anything nice for you and second of all I'm not big on helping people but everyone else wanted to do it

Sebastian: But really I think you can do better and plus you started dressing like a guy so maybe you'll find someone else better than a 5 year old toddler that dresses like an elderly grandpa 👶

Sebastian: Seriously though I'm just trying to cheer you up, I saw what people are posting about you online and it's brutal, I wouldn't go on there for like… a year if I were you, people are pissed at you

Sebastian: Not me though, I don't give a shit about Blaine and some of the Warblers are on your side too if that helps

Sebastian: Guess I can be nice to you, just text me if you wanna talk

Sebastian: Bye gay face! 😘😘

Kurt didn't know whether to laugh or roll his eyes at the last text from Sebastian but he couldn't do etheir because he was too focused on the other texts. He was grateful to have Nick, Jeff, Sam and Sebastian on his side but like Sebastian had said, everyone else was being brutal. And dramatic. And unfair.

They didn't know the whole story, how could they pick sides? Would they still be taking Blaine's side if they knew what he had done to him, if they had asked him and had understood where he was coming from, whether they ended up agreeing or not?

But he didn't care, he couldn't. He told himself that he wasn't going to care no matter what happened and he should just be glad that he had some people sticking up for himself. But other than that, he should be sticking up for himself. He knew that it was for the greater good, he knew that Blaine was wrong and he didn't take any of his crap. He told him how he felt and he doubted Blaine told everyone what Kurt had told him, but it didn't matter because this was about him. He should be proud.

So instead of getting angry and texting everyone back defending himself, he took a few deep breaths before setting his phone down and finishing his coffee. After he did that he went back onto his messages and deleted all of them except his ones for work and the ones from his real friends (and Sebastian, he wasn't sure about him yet) and then left the café, getting started on new ideas for Vogue.

He walked around for a bit more before calling a taxi so he could go back to his apartment. Isabelle had given him the rest of the week off (even though he hadn't been in for three weeks), knowing he was busy with school and home life so he didn't have to go into work that day. And he was able to do all his work for NYADA online for now so he didn't have to go on campus either. He didn't know whether Rachel or Santana were back in New York yet (they could still be in Ohio, "comforting" Blaine) so he was looking forward to going back to the loft so he could have some time to work peacefully.

Things didn't go as planned though.

When he got up to the floor where his loft was he saw that all his stuff was outside of the room. His first instinct was to start banging on the door, he knew this was his roommates' doings and he wasn't going to put up with it. But after taking a second to prevent himself from blowing up he took out his key and tried to open the door.

They had changed the lock.

They were testing his patience.

He pulled out his phone and dialed Rachel's number, putting the phone to his ear.

"Hello?"

"Hi Rachel," Kurt said, faking his cherry tone. "Care to explain why my stuff is scattered outside the loft?"

"Kurt," Rachel said, coldly.

"I'm waiting,"

"Santana and I have decided that after the bad decision that you made yesterday, we don't want you toxicity around us. You know exactly what you did and it was wrong Kurt, so we're kicking you out,"

"Is that him?" Kurt heard Santana ask in the background. "Tell him I said for him to go screw himself,"

"Santana says to go screw yourself," Rachel stated.

"Bite me bitches," Kurt snapped, losing his temper. "I pay for the goddamn place, you can't kick me out. Let me in dammit,"

"Now that's not very nice," Rachel frowned. "We took your name of the rent so you don't have to worry about that anymore,"

"What? How did you even do that?"

"It was simple actually," Rachel started to explain. "But I can feel your negative energy entering our loft now so I would prefer it if you left. Either way you aren't coming in,"

"Whatever," Kurt rolled his eyes. "Whatever I don't have time for this, you and Satan go ahead and screw yourselves or screw each other. I don't care but don't come crawling back at my feet, begging for my forgiveness when your lazy, broke asses get kicked out. We're through,"

And with that he hung up the phone before sighing to himself, a headache starting to form. What the hell was he going to do now? He didn't have a lot, they had just left him his skincare stuff, his sheets and pillows, his laptop, his school stuff and his clothes, everything packed into 4 huge boxes. How was he supposed to get all of this stuff down the stairs and out of the building? And where was he supposed to go now? He supposed he had the money to rent another apartment for now at least and considering what was going on that didn't seem like the worst idea.

So he started by making two trips down the stairs, outside, taking two boxes at a time before he sat down on a bench outside of the building and started searching for apartments nearby. The good thing about the loft was that it was close to both NYADA and Vogue so he didn't have to worry about being late to either place. Obviously he wouldn't be getting that luxury anymore.

After scrolling down page after page he finally selected a place with three rooms and a bathroom a couple of streets down. It wasn't too shabby, he would definitely have to rearrange the furniture around to fit his feng shui but overall it was fitting for him, especially on such short notice.

So the next thing he did was call another taxi that came to pick him and his possessions up, taking him to his new place. The first thing he did when he arrived was go to the apartment owner who was a short, on the heavier side, cheery old man named Mr. Hubert He was very nice, giving him a good deal on the rent and telling him all the rules he had for the building and who he could contact if he had any problems. After Kurt signed the contracts, Mr. Hubert let him go straight to his room that surprisingly looked better than the picture had.

The furniture was bland, a basic beige color and the walls had horribly distracting, peeling wallpaper on them with floral patterns but otherwise he couldn't complain. So instead of doing what he had wanted to do, relax and get some work done, he got straight to working on putting his stuff away.

It was a pretty good distraction from everything, even if he was still a little ticked off. But the amount of concentration he had to put into his work along with some singing along to some music, he didn't really have enough room in his brain to think about anything else.

"Hello?" Kurt said, his voice full of bitterness and irritation. He was worn out from spending the last five hours on his new apartment and had looked at his phone to see more hate messages and calls from various people. He saw about 20 missed calls from his dad though and wanted to make sure that he was okay, health-wise, which is the only reason he called him back. "Is everything okay?"

"Kurt, it's your dad. I'm fine bud," Burt said from the phone. "I've called a few times now but you never picked up,"

"Well I hope you can imagine why," Kurt told him.

"I can… sorta,"

"Look I know that you're probably so disappointed in me for breaking off the engagement with that monster but it was for my own good. Now I've been taken a lot of shit from basically everyone I know the past week, including getting kicked out of the apartment that I paid for so I'm sorry if this sounds disrespectful, actually I'm not sorry but I'm not about to take it from you,"

"Now Kurt, come on bud, you're a Hummel. We keep our word," His dad explained.

"Excuse me?" Kurt asked, raising his eyebrows and his voice. "We're Hummel's? We keep our word? We're also Hummel's that stand up for ourselves and that's what I did, I stood up for myself. I can't believe you're taking Blaine's side,"

"I'm not taking anyone's side bud, I'm just saying…."

"Oh I know what you're saying. You wanted me to stay in a relationship with Blaine, someone that is emotionally abusive towards me because he's the son you've always wanted. I really thought we were over this,"

"Kurt, son this isn't about that, stop trying to turn this on me," Burt said, raising his voice as well. "This isn't about Blaine and me, this is about Blaine and you. I just don't understand, why'd you do it,"

"Well if you would've been listening to me all this time then you would already know,"

"I do listen to you,"

"No you don't," Kurt yelled, his eyes watering with tears. "You haven't listened to me at all because if you had then you would've known that Blaine cheated on me. Do you remember that?"

"Well yes but I thought you two had figured it out…"

"Well you were wrong, we hadn't. He cheated on me when I was gone for two weeks and guess what? He blamed it on me, he blamed it on me not being there for him, for not trying anymore when I had just moved to this huge ass city and had work to do. And he's never apologized, he thinks he's in the right and he still thinks he's in the right. And do you know about the time that he almost raped me in the back of my car?"

His dad's end went silent, he obviously hadn't known about that.

"Hmm, guess I'll take that as a no,"

"Kurt… you never told me that,"

"Do you know why I never told you that?"

Once again silence but Kurt was pretty sure his dad knew what the answer was.

"Because no matter what I told you, you would've taken his side. Because you want him instead of me. You would've made up an excuse for him, saying that he wasn't thinking straight or that he was just trying to have some fun, the same exact thing he told me but that's not an excuse," Kurt said, his voice breaking. "It wasn't right,"

"Kurt don't you think that's a little dramatic,"

"I knew it," Kurt sighed.

"How long ago did that happen? Because if it happened a while ago then it shouldn't matter anymore. And if he didn't… you know rape you then why are you so shaken up about it?"

"I'm done talking about this. You obviously don't understand how wrong that was,"

"No one else would either,"

"You aren't everyone else," Kurt told him. "And Carol seemed to understand pretty well,"

"So you told Carol, your stepmom but not me, your dad?"

"Sure did, you know why? Because Carol listens to me and she agrees with me and she thinks Blaine's the asshole that everyone else doesn't seem to see,"

"Blaine isn't an asshole Kurt, you two are going through a rough time but that's no reason to hurt him by breaking up with him. You think that every time your mother and I had a problem that it resorted to us breaking up?"

"No, because mom never did any of the things that Blaine did to me. My mom was the sweetest women on the whole goddamn planet, don't you dare compare her to someone so evil and manipulative,"

"There you go being dramatic again. I wasn't comparing her to Blaine…"

"You were comparing you and her to me and Blaine and trust me, I remember the fights that you guys got into. It was small things like you not doing the dishes or taking out the trash and it always ended in you two dancing around the kitchen. Me and Blaine are nothing like that,"

"I'm just saying, every couple goes through this kind of stuff but it's no reason to give up,"

"And I'm just saying that I'm done talking about this. If you love Blaine so much then why don't you make him your son, okay? The both of you can get together and cry over how you have such a terrible, cowardly son and how he has such a terrible, awful ex and you can both spread the word that I'm the worst, but I don't give a shit, just don't contact me anymore,"

"Kurt…"

"You aren't my dad anymore," Kurt finally said before hanging up and throwing his phone across the room. It hit the wall and fell down onto a table, knocking a glass vase onto the floor and making it shatter. This made Kurt flinch back and gasp before breaking down into himself, sinking onto the couch, sobbing.

He was losing everything and he had told himself that it wouldn't hurt. That if they chose Blaine over him that they didn't deserve him but he hadn't had expected it to be this bad.

How had his life fallen apart in the matter of days just because he stood up for himself?


Notes:

Told you it wasn't a very happy story, poor Kurt He's so strong though and patient (that's how I imagine him being, maybe you guys think he wouldn't act that way) but if it was me I would have responded to all that hate with more hate, fighting fire with fire 🔥🔥 and I would've fought until my roomates let me in my apartment and I would've kicked them out, I don't play around lol.

But at least he has some people on his side, that's good. I wasn't going to write him with no support at all (that's what I was originally going to do so your welcome) but it doesn't get any better ever so there's that warning again 🚨🚨

Don't get me wrong, I love Kurt relationships and friendships, especially Kurtana and Kurtcedes. Hummelberry is okay too but it just wasn't doing it for me in this scenario. I feel like after Blaine was introduced that she was Blaine's friend and I know they had lots of Hummelberry more than they had Anderberry but like that's only because Kurt was in New York with her. When Blaine moved to New York in season 5 I feel like the friendship got shifted over from her and Kurt to her and Blaine. So really I feel like Rachel would be on Blaine's side. As for Santana and Mercedes, they definitely love Kurt more than they love Blaine in canon but just not here. And we all know that Tina, Kitty and Artie would be on Blaine's side (I switch Artie between Kurt and Blaine a lot because I feel like he can be flexible like that). The first unknown was Kitty and obviously she didn't like Kurt from the start and she knew Blaine better so she's on his side. And then the second unknown was Jake, idk why I put him in there but I feel like he's also on Blaine's side because he knows him better. And Puck is the same as Artie, I make him flexible but I feel like this time around he would've heard all the gossip from Jake who's on Blaine's side so Puck's also on Blaine's side. I know that Unique is originally a Kurt fan but we saw more of her with Blaine then we did with Kurt so she's a Blaine stan, sorry guys 😶😶

As for Burt, I don't know why I did that to him, I just wanted more angst and lonely!Kurt, sorry guys, if I write something that's not Burt friendly then I usually don't even make it Burt, I make Kurt have a different dad and Burt's his uncle or something instead or he's just not in the story because he's number one dad of the century and I love him but idk, this could happen? Like I said, I just feel like he's on Blaine's side because he told Blaine that he didn't have his blessing but then he drove Kurt to the proposal anyway so yeah, doesn't seem very logical to me but who am I?

As for the people who are on Kurt's side, I can't see Sam being mean to Kurt about this, he saw how uncomfortable he was at the proposal and Hevans sticks together in canon in my opinion, they are the best besties 😇😇 Same with Nick and Jeff, they couldn't be mean to Kurt, they know he's too sweet to be intentionally mean to anyone As for Sebastian, well I needed Kurtbastian friends so that's my reasoning 👬 Plus I like to think that if Kurt and Sebastian were to reunite after season 3 sometime then they would become friends and Seb would forget about Blaine (who wouldn't?) and would turn his target on Kurt. Now that's not the case for this story but I have an idea for something like this so… look out for that if you like that kind of stuff.

Anyway a lot of notes but next chapter is where we have Finn come, yay! Best big brother of a lifetime right here, I love Furt way too much, I'm obsessed with them. So next chapter is kind of happy but then it gets really bad from there until the end. But thanks for reading, please leave any comments, feedback or questions for me and have a great day/night! 😁😁

Peace ✌️✌️
