A/N: Thanks for the reviews on the last chapter - I know it might be hard to read these couple of chapters that this will be; since I am kind of at the moment being really that of on the side of nasty to Blaine.
But it's kind of challenging to stretch myself in writing, and do something a little different.
So what happens in this chapter, will see the lead into a chapter of "Runnin' Back Home To You" and that will come into play with that a few more of that down the road, but in doing so it shows contrast of that between Blaine and Seb, and how they relate to that of the family of one another; if that at all makes any sense.
Anyway, thanks for reading and you all know what to do at the end.
Love always,
KJ xoxoxoxoxo
Chapter 2:
Blaine never believed when it others told him that you can never fully heal a broken heart; but yet here he now was thinking that this was actually very much that of the truth.
Even though he had cut off ties with seeing reminders of Mikki in more of his daily life, there was still another somewhat haunting one of that in San Francisco; and that was her younger sister Marley, who of course still was with Ryder who was Sam's little brother, so even though she wasn't around that much, she was there.
It was just before Christmas, and Puck had to go and do a special later night segment for work and Sam was away for the weekend with Ryder to catch up with some old friends of both theirs, and with Blaine also having work at the bar that same night; Puck had called up Marley and asked her to babysit his girls.
With the two other males in the house being already out, Blaine was sitting in the living room with that of his three nieces when there was a knock on the door and he stood from the sofa and went over to the front door and opened it.
"Hi Blaine" said Marley, with a smile to him as she saw him on the other side.
"Hmm" replied Blaine, hating seeing that of his ex girlfriends sister standing before him and seeing all the similarities that were between them; from that of their hair length although Marley's was that of a lighter color than Mikki's, to their almost identical facial features in nose and eyes as well as that of their smiles; and he held the door to let Marley walk inside the house.
"Marley" said Alyson, getting up from where she was sitting and running over to the girl and giving her a hug.
"Hi sweetheart" replied Marley, with a laugh that also reminded Blaine of that of his now ex girlfriend. "How are you?"
"I'm okay" said Alyson.
"Well that's good to hear" replied Marley, with another laugh as Blaine walked over to the sofa where his jacket was.
"So I'm just going to head out" said Blaine, quickly looking at her.
"Okay, yeah I'll be here" said Marley, with a smile to him. "It's not like I haven't looked after the girls before"
"Right, no" replied Blaine, shaking his head. "See you"
"Yeah see you" said Marley with a nod.
"Bye Uncle Blaine" said Beth, looking to her uncle and he turned quickly giving them a small smile and a wave, before heading to that of work; whilst fighting the urge to once again not to break down and cry.

Getting to the bar and taking what he needed to leave in the office and placing it in there, Blaine headed to that of the bar, and went over to the shelf of spirits, grabbing a glass as he walked and then picked up a bottle of Whisky and poured that of a long drink into the glass.
Nick, who was working that night along with Jeff and a few of the other bartenders, saw what Blaine was doing and walked over to him.
"You know we're meant to serve the alcohol" said Nick, looking at him. "Not be drinking it"
Blaine just looked as he finished off what was in the glass and then went to grab the bottle again.
"Okay, bud" said Nick, quickly managing to grab that of the bottle first though. "You're not going to be doing this"
"Give me the bottle Nick" said Blaine, looking at him and Nick shook his head as Jeff walked over to them.
"Problem here?" asked Jeff, looking between that of two of his friends.
"There won't be when Nick gives me the bottle" said Blaine, looking at him.
"Yeah, okay" replied Jeff, with a nod and took that of the glass from Blaine, who glared at him; and then took that of his upper arm. "We're just going to go out here for a bit"
Blaine looked at him as Jeff lead him out to the back again, along with Nick following.
"Do you want to get your hands off me Jeff?" asked Blaine, looking at his blonde haired friend.
"Do you want to stop acting like such a jerk" replied Jeff.
Blaine looked at him and huffed crossing his arms in front of his chest.
"Look we get what you're going through with this break up, it's tough" said Nick, looking to Blaine. "But you can't let it be all you think about it"
"Well when you're still reminded of a said ex, even though you try really hard to forget" said Blaine, looking to him. "Let me know how you go, huh"
"I thought you deleted all traces of her from stuff" said Jeff. "And whilst I don't fully agree with that, because I think in the end later on you will want those memories. What are you seeing that reminds you?"
"Her sister" replied Blaine. "Who my brother in law, since he is working and Sam is out of town with his brother; got to babysit tonight"
"And she kind of looks like ex girlfriend" said Nick, with a nod.
"Yep" replied Blaine. "And seeing the sister, knowing she's probably telling her all this stuff about me and most likely even laughing at it, whilst she is happy with her new but old boyfriend; well it hurts more then you will ever know"
"Okay, well maybe just take the night off from work tonight" said Jeff. "We have more than enough staff to cover"
Blaine looked to his blonde friend. "And if I do you're going to give me back the Whiskey right"
"You're not going to find answers in a bottle of alcohol" said Nick.
"Nope, but it does num that of the pain" said Blaine.
"You can drink" said Jeff. "But on one condition"
"Yeah and what's that?" asked Blaine, looking to him.
"When we say you have had enough" replied Jeff. "You've had enough, deal"
"Deal" replied Blaine, with a nod; and Jeff and Nick looked at each other with a nod also, and then let Blaine go out into that of the bar, and themselves back behind the counter; making sure to keep that of an eye of their friend and make sure he didn't in fact drink too much.

Arriving back at the Puckerman residence, a little after three the next morning; having gone back to Lauren's place for a while and done stuff with her before leaving, Blaine unlocked that of the front door and walked inside the house.
Taking off his jacket as he entered, closing the door and walking down that of the two steps leading into the living area; he could see that there was someone asleep on the sofa, and he quickly looked at his watch seeing the time and then walked over to said person, seeing that it was Marley lying there.
Once again seeing the striking similarities between that of her and her sister, he tapped her on the head; probably a little harder then he should have done.
"Oww" said Marley, as she awoke and looked at him. "Why did you do that?"
"Why are you here?" asked Blaine, looking at her.
"Oh, um Puck said I could crash for the night" replied Marley, looking at him in return. "Because Ry's not home"
"Great, well I don't want you here" said Blaine. "So if you want to head on home"
Marley looked at him as she stood up. "I'm not my sister, so you don't have the right to talk to me that way"
"Really, I'm sorry" said Blaine, looking at her. "I didn't realize that it was required that I be that of nice to the sister of the girl who ripped out my heart"
"I'm not going to apologize for what Mikki did" said Marley. "But you certainly don't have any right to treat me with the same disdain for me, that you clearly have for her right now"
"You expect me to be civil then" said Blaine, with a laugh. "Right sure okay, let's all be friends and sing Kumbaya together. You Kapowski's are seriously full of yourself"
"I did at first think that what Mikki did was really selfish of her" said Marley, looking to Blaine. "But you know now I don't think that at all, and that's because Sebastian isn't a jerk like you"
"Oh great let's hear about how wonderful new old sister's boyfriend is" said Blaine, looking to Marley.
"Well I have known him for a very long time" said Marley. "And one thing I can tell you is, that when he and Mikki were split up that he didn't act at all like you are, even though he was that of heartbroken too. But you know chalk and cheese the two of you, someone who has a well paying job compared to that of someone who works in a bar and loves to pick up random girls, because let's face it we both know that is why you're home at this hour; and it's because you were out doing what you do best and that's be a man whore. I can't even begin to wonder what Mikki saw in you"
"And clearly you also got the snarky cold heart ice queen bitch gene like your sister" said Blaine.
"No, I just don't like anyone talking about anyone in my family, in the way you are and think it's okay to do so" replied Marley.
"Just leave" said Blaine, looking to her. "And try and not come back anytime I'm around here"
"Fine" said Marley grabbing her handbag and getting out her car keys. "Can you at least tell Puck when he wakes that I've gone home"
"Yeah whatever" replied Blaine, with a shrug.
"Okay, whatever" said Marley and went to leave, walking up to the front door. "Later dickhead"
Blaine looked at her as she went to open the front door. "Wait" he said, and she turned to look at him.
"What you have something else to say about my sister before I go?" asked Marley. "Because I highly suggest that unless you want me to be kicking you in the balls now, that you keep that to yourself"
"Umm no" replied Blaine, shaking his head. "You're going home for christmas right?"
"What's it to you?" asked Marley, looking at him.
"Just yes or no?" asked Blaine.
"Yes" replied Marley, with a nod. "But what does that matter to you?"
"Just wait here" said Blaine, and went to go upstairs. "I'll be right back"
"Okay" replied Marley, with that of a look of total confusion as Blaine headed upstairs, and then into that of his bedroom; and opened his closet to get out a box that he had put all the physical reminders that he had of Mikki and then had taped up so he could never look at it again.
Walking back downstairs, he saw that Marley was still there beside the door; looking at something on her phone, and he headed over to her.
"Here" said Blaine, holding the box out to her.
"What's this?" asked Marley, with a laugh and took the box he held out to her. "You're not seriously asking me to give my sister the present you bought her for Christmas now, are you?"
"No, I was able to return that" said Blaine.
"Okay" replied Marley, looking at him. "So this is what then?"
"Just some stuff that I had of hers" replied Blaine. "I don't want it here, so figure she might want it still"
"I will make sure she gets it" said Marley, with that of a small nod.
"Thanks" replied Blaine, with a nod also. "Did she ever even love me? Do you know?"
"In a way yes, I think she did" said Marley. "But what her and Seb had and have, you can't just turn that off; six years of love doesn't go away overnight"
"Yeah" said Blaine. "And neither does that of a few months either"
Marley looked at him and nodded, as she opened that of the front door. "Bye Blaine"
"Yeah bye" replied Blaine with a nod as the girl left to head back to her own apartment, and then he himself went up to bed, to try and get some sleep and hopefully not have his dreams filled with that of those of his ex girlfriend.
End Note: I promise I won't be mean to Blaine forever here - but this is just so different for me to write, that I kind of like the challenge.
And the likenesses between that who I see as Mikki; and also of Melissa and Becca is actually kind of freaky when you do that of a comparison, so Blaine seeing what he is seeing kind of makes sense.
And Marley saying what she said to Blaine, well when you think about he is saying all this mean stuff about that of her older sister, and of course she is going to defend her to him.
Any guesses as to what could possibly be in the box that he gave Marley to give to Mikki?! That will be revealed soon in "Runnin'".
Anyway until next time or next story,
Love,
KJ xoxoxoxoxoxo
