Kurt Hummel was having his morning coffee at the Lima Bean, his favorite coffee shop. He looked around him. He could see people from McKinley High and Dalton Academy sitting and drinking coffee with their friends. Wait, hold on a sec... Kurt looked again and then saw him. Sebastian Smythe. The lead singer for the Warblers. He was sitting alone and looking around as well. Suddenly he saw Kurt and their eyes met for only a moment before they drifted away again. He thought nothing of it at first but then looked again. He could clearly see that Sebastian was trying hard to keep his beautifully tear-stained eyes off of him. Kurt sighed and thought about going over to Sebastian and talking with him, but he decided not to and then shut his eyes. About 2 minutes later Kurt heard small footsteps approaching his table. "Hello Kurt. It's been a long time." Kurt looked up and saw Sebastian standing next to him.
He smiled and motioned for Sebastian to sit down. "Well, well, if it isn't Sebastian Smythe. What are you doing here?" Kurt asked. Sebastian sighed and said, "Well, it's kind of a long story..." Kurt said, "Well then, long story short, Smythe. What are you doing here?" Sebastian said to Kurt, "Well, long story short, princess, my parents kicked me out of the house and decided to also pull me out of Dalton. Now, this may sound like a joke, but..." Sebastian then pulled out his phone and showed Kurt a video. It was of Sebastian's parents abusing Sebastian by kicking him, whipping him, and finally throwing him out on the street with the final words that Sebastian's father spoke, "Sebastian, you are a disgrace to this family. You are a worthless piece of shit that nobody cares about. Why don't you just go kill yourself and stop being such a trouble to the world?" and then slamming the door and leaving Sebastian crying. Kurt looked up to Sebastian, absolutely horrified. "Sebastian..." Sebastian was sobbing like he would never stop. "I fought. I fought to get away, but he just..."
Sebastian practically screamed. "Shh..." Kurt said. He then stood up and came to sit next to the boy. Kurt held him while Sebastian sobbed his heart out. Kurt then picked up the phone and called his father, Burt Hummel. "Dad... I need you to come pick me up from the Lima Bean. Something happened and it's really important." Kurt could sense his father's worry. "Sure. I'll be there within 5 minutes. Kurt, who is crying?" Kurt replied "Dad, do you remember Sebastian from Dalton?" "Yeah, I remember him. Is he the one crying?" Burt said. "Yeah, I..." Kurt couldn't speak. His voice was breaking. Burt said "I'll be there shortly. Take care of him until I get there, ok?" "Okay, Dad. See you." Kurt said. Burt then hung up. Kurt sighed and said "Hey, Sebastian." "Yeah?" Sebastian had red eyes and he looked like he was about to die. "I just called my father and he's going to be here shortly, okay?"
Kurt was trying not to burst into tears himself. Sebastian nodded and continued crying. Kurt felt sorry for him, that he had to go through that torture and pain. He wished that he would have been there to be the one, to be taking the abuse instead of Sebastian. To be able to sacrifice himself for Sebastian. Kurt looked at him and saw that his face and neck were scarred, as were his legs and arms. Kurt practically ripped off Sebastian's shirt and saw his back and chest. He immediately started investigating and with the amount of scars, Kurt was honestly surprised that Sebastian hadn't died. He had also noticed earlier that Sebastian's skin was slightly discolored and he wondered what kind of pain that Sebastian must have been going through. With the amount of damage that had been done to Sebastian, Kurt and his father would have enough evidence to put Sebastian's parents behind bars for a very, very long time.
Kurt then realized something that had never come to him, something that would change everything that was in the past and future for them. He, Kurt Elizabeth Hummel, loved Sebastian Smythe, the boy who had thrown that slushee with rock salt in Blaine's face, the boy who had never really cared for anyone but himself... Kurt wondered if Sebastian felt the same way. He sighed, knowing that it wasn't a true possibility, and just continued to hold the sobbing boy, wondering if he would ever be the same again.
