A/N: I'm so sorry everyone! I had major writer's block for this chapter. Then I went on vacation for a week and wrote this chapter. This is unfortunely the last chapter before the epiloge. This is the longest chapter so far and thankyou everyone who has stuck with me ^^ I love you all. Of course when I wrote this I had planned on it to go a different way but when I got to writing this tonight at like midnight I changed it all.
So who knows there might be another chapter before the epiloge but I really like how I ended this. Then I knew I had to atleast add a song in this story so here it is. The month long wait is over.
NOTE: YOU MUST READ THIS! Okay so now that i have gotten your attention I just wanted to point out that this is in a new point of view. It's in third person. I totally by accident switched the point of view and I feel horrible but I think the chapter turned out better this way then it would in first person(Kurt's point of view) So enjoy and if you think I totally messed up the chapter I won't mind writing it over back in first person. So I just wanted everyone to know that, so go on to read :)
Last Chapter: Rachel and all of Kurt's other friends met him outside of the hospital and said they were going to sing him a song. Now that's where we are at now.
Disclaimer: Rated T for swearing, talks of absuive relationship. Don't like, don't read. Simple as that.
"Sometimes in our lives
we all have pain
we all have sorrow
But if we are wise
we know there is always tomorrow."
Every were singing and moving about. Singing about how they were there for him, and how they would be there for when he needed them most. The performance brought Kurt to tears, and even beside him he heard Finn and his dad singing softly.
"Lean on me
When your not strong
and I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
till I'm gonna need somebody to lean on"
It started off with everyone singing and they switched off a lot. Kurt looked at them knowing he could count on them, because even though there is a lot of pain still. He knows they are there for him. He knows they care and love him, even Burt and Finn who were smiling at him and then back up at the performance. When it was over he clapped for them all, and one by one they came over and hugged Kurt.
At last it was Blaine's turn to hug Kurt. He gulped, accepting the hug. "Ready to go get coffee?" Blaine asked.
Looking over at his Dad and everyone else who were slowly leaving, he nodded. "Dad, I will call you later when I get to my apartment, okay?" Not waiting for an answer, him and Blaine headed towards the Blaine's car.
"I'm sorry." Blaine said when they were seated in the car and driving off down the road away from the hospital.
"For what?"
"Yesterday. I shouldn't have yelled. I was aggravated, from all the stress, and worrying..."
"Your forgiven. You buying coffee though." Kurt grinned at him, taking a side glance at Blaine he saw the curly hair man grinning too.
"So this is goodbye?" Blaine asked as he stood outside Kurt's apartment door, hoping the boy would say no.
"No." Kurt glanced down the hallway and unlocked his door. It had been something he had been doing since he left the hospital, he had been looking out for Paul, just in case. "Want to come in?"
"Sure." Blaine smiled as he followed Kurt into the room, almost running into the boy. "Kurt?" Blaine asked but as his glaze surveyed the room he gasped. The room was in scrambles, and not from the episode a couple days before. Furniture was turned over and pictured where thrown everywhere, leaving a layer of broken glass on the ground. Kurt shook in fear, in anger.
"Paul..." The one word passed from Kurt's lips. There standing in the doorway from the bedroom to the kitchen was Paul.
Blaine glared at the man and stepped forward between Kurt and Paul. "Can you just leave Kurt alone?" he shouted. He was sick of this guy, but yet they couldn't get rid of him. Will there ever be peace?
"Can't you let the princess speak for himself?" Snarled Paul, a stench of alcohol filled the air around them.
"Have you been drinking?" Kurt asked, he would have thought after everything came out, but he guessed his hopes were up too high for it to be reached.
"Kurt, babe." Paul stepped forward a bit trying to make his way to Kurt. Kicking a few things he walked over to the kitchen for a bottle of some sort and took a swing of it.
"Stay away." Blaine ordered, but was pushed to the side a bit by Kurt.
"Paul, what are you doing here?" He asked hesitantly.
"Babe, I want to leave. See the bag of your clothes and stuff I packed up in the duffel bag near the door. All we need to do is ditch this place and run. We can go anywhere, we can see the world."
"Paul... I'm sorry but... no..." Kurt looked away to Blaine. He was conflicted. He loved both of them, no matter what Paul did. He didn't want to be in danger anymore, but he knew if he went with Paul he wouldn't be coming back. He wanted to believe that Paul would turn back; no drugs or alcohol near either one of them. That was a dream though, it was also the past.
A bottle went though the air towards Kurt. Blaine froze but quickly recovered and jumped on Kurt and got him down to the floor. Both of them slid into the wall closer to Paul. "You bitch." growled Paul.
"Shut up! Just shut up!" yelled Kurt, pushing away from Blaine's arms. "I'm sick of this! What happened, Paul? What happened?" Kurt shook- he was angry, but all he wanted were answers.
"Life happened." Paul spat and kicked the wall out of frustration, creating a hole that was sure to be noticed. "Are you coming with me?"
"Do I even have a choice?"
"No. Your coming no matter what. I'm not letting you go Kurt. We belong together." Paul took a step towards Kurt, but Kurt was already moving back towards Blaine who was on his phone, trying not to be seen. So far he hadn't been seen because Kurt and Paul were distracted.
"We used to."
"We love each other. Enough of this used to bullshit, because you and I both know we will always be together." Paul pleaded, his eyes were glassy from the alcohol.
"Used to." Kurt pressed, getting annoyed at Paul. Getting annoyed on how far he has come and yet he still has to deal with Paul. He knew now that people weren't disgusted that he was abused, they cared that he was. They wanted to stop this, and that gave him the courage to stop this himself. To face his fears of Paul, to face his problems head-on.
"Don't you dare say that." Paul's face contorted into anger.
"Make me." Kurt dared, acting fearless on the outside, but on the inside he was scared of what could happen. Rule number one is to never underestimate the enemy. Paul took a step forward and raised his arm to swing at Kurt.
"KURT!" yelled Blaine from behind the pair but was distracted by texting Finn to call the police. Plus he knew Kurt needed to face this himself, only if it got dangerous he knew to interfer. He knew he shouldn't have looked away, but he did. Kurt turned to look at Blaine and with a gasp of pain he fell. Paul had taken the opportunity to punch Kurt in the side making him fall to his knees.
"Bitch, shut up." Paul was directing it to both Blaine and Kurt.
Coughing, Kurt glared at the man above him. "Go to hell."
Police sirins interuped Kurt's and Paul's glares at eachother while Blaine grinned and marched towards the freaking out Paul. "This is the easy way, stay. The hard way...well that's up to you."
Paul begun to run towards the door but Blaine had though he would do that. Using all his strengh he pushed the man against the wall as the sirens grew closer and the footsteps could be heard coming up the steps towards them. Kurt stood up in shook and wiped the glass off of himself while the cops came in and handcuffed Paul. Everything was a burr for the next few hours.
Both boys had come out of this with only minor injuries, and that was from getting thrown to the floor. Kurt had looked the worst off since most of the bruises didn't heal, but those were old.
Kurt was standing next to Finn who had rushed over from when Blaine texted him, right now though he wanted to rest. "Finn, I'm fine..." He left Finn standing there as he went over to the cops. "I told you everything I know, can I leave now?"
The cop nodded. "Yes, you can take your clothes but we need to stick around for fingerprints so we can get him where he needs to be. He's an alcoholic right?" without waiting for an answer he continued. "We will have him charged for abusing, and harassment. We can't charge him with breaking and entering because his name is on the lease. That is all though, if anything else call me, okay. You don't deserve what he has done to you...nobody does. " The cop handed Kurt his card and went to talk to the other police officer who was collecting evidence.
Blaine walked over and hugged Kurt suddenly. "I'm so glad your safe, Kurt." All Kurt could do was nod at the boy holding him.
"Hey, Kurt?" Finn asked awkwardly considering Blaine was still holding him, but he let Kurt go when he heard Finn.
"Yes Finn?"
"Your not staying here tonight. I also think you should move." Finn suggested.
"I have nowhere else..." Kurt trailed off and looked at the damage that was done. Looking away and back to Finn and Blaine he sighed.
"Stay with me." Blaine offered. "It's a two bedroom, it was suppose to be for a guest just in case someone crashed for the night, but I don't mind having you move in."
"Move in? Blaine this...just for tonight." Blaine nodded not saying anything. "Tomorrow I will decide. For today...I just need rest.."
"I will tell Burt, and mom." Finn offered hugged Kurt and whispered. "I'm so glad your safe and alive Kurt. When Blaine texted me...I was scared. Hang in there bro." Taking a glance at Blaine who was pulled over by the cops he whispered again. "Blaine...he's good for you. Don't let him go, be with him. I know this must sound weird coming from me but...listen to your heart."
"Thankyou.." Kurt smiled as Finn left to go to Burt's and Carole's hotel room to tell them the news, and Kurt defanilty expected a phone call coming his way soon..
After packing up his things, and finding his phone which was surprisingly not damaged he shut the door to his apartment, locked it and walked with Blaine to the car. Sighing he smiled tiredly at Blaine. "Thankyou...for everything. Without you there, I don't know what would have happened. I don't even want to imagine it."
Blaine reached over and grabbed Kurt's hand holding it in his own as he started the car and begun driving. "Your welcome, and anything for you Kurt. Like I told you before. I love you, and that means I will protect you, no matter what crazy psycho dude gets in the way."
Kurt looked over at Blaine who glanced at him from the corner of his eyes. "I love you too." Kurt whispered and meant it. He didn't want to lie to Blaine, or himself, because he meant it. He loved Blaine Anderson, and nobody could stop him from that.
Blaine grinned and squeezed the boy's hand, to show he heard him, and it meant many more things then a simple thank you could explain.
The next day when Kurt woke up he looked around at the unfamiliar room and sighed. The past few days had finally passed. He was free from Paul. He hoped the boy could get the help that was needed, he hoped Paul would have a good life after he was helped. Kurt looked around the pale green room and got out of bed and wandered into the kitchen where there was a certain brown haired boy cooking eggs and bacon. "Hello."
Blaine turned around and smiled widely at Kurt. "Morning, darling."
"Darling?" Kurt chuckled and went over to the fridge and pulled out the milk. Pouring two glasses for them both, he grinned at the boy before him. "Since when have you called me that?"
"Since now. I figured since the nickname princess has probably been ruined you wouldn't want to be called that."
"Oh, how thoughtful." Kurt smiled and begun to help Blaine cook, ignoring the hands trying to push him away from the stove and the food. Finally giving up on helping, he went over to the Island style counter and sat on the stool. Figuring he couldn't help he might as well stay out of the way.
Ever since Kurt admitted his feelings to Blaine last night they had decided to take it slow. They both knew Kurt was still sorting out his feelings, and no matter what he said they both knew he had feelings for Paul. Even if the guy had turned out abusive, the man use to care about Kurt, and he had feelings for Paul.
So it was decided. Kurt would live with Blaine, it wasn't like it was in another state. It was convenient because Kurt didn't want to be alone, and Blaine wanted a roommate. As long as Kurt helped with the rent, and groceries then he could stay,. That wouldn't be a problem though because Kurt had money hidden from when he was working, and he was going back in a week. Things almost seemed normal compared to the day before, but it was just getting started.
Just because things seemed normal didn't mean they were. There were still awkward moments, but that was to be expected. They needed time to get use to one another again. Burt had also called last night, which resulted in an hour long conversation, and Kurt breaking down crying. He needed to get it out though. After all the days of holding it in, he needed it.
"Kurt, sweetie. It's all over now. We love you." Carole's voice carried though his cell phone.
" I know, Carole...It's just that. It's finally settleing in." Kurt voice shook as he talked to his mother and father. After all the years he got use to calling Carole mom, or mother. It made her happy, and he was happy to call her that. It didn't mean he was replacing his real mom.
"It was a horrible thing that man did to you Kurt. When I heard about it, I was scared sweetie. Why didn't you tell us sooner?"
"I was scared...I was scared of what you guys would have thought of me. Of what I had become." Kurt whispeared.
"We would never think everything less of you. I love you, Kurt. Your father wants to talk to you." Carole told him softly and silently handed the phone to Burt. She was holding his hand in their hotel room. They decided to stay there for the rest of the week and go home when it was time to. Kurt needed them at the moment, and they wouldn't let him down. They would protect him, to make up when they couldn't.
"Dad?" Kurt asked.
"Son...I...I love you...and if anyone tries to hurt you again I will kill them." Burt threathened. He meant every word of it too.
"Dad... I know you would. I love you too..." Kurt smiled to himself wiping away his tears, knowing from the words that they said that his dad loved him. That his dad didn't care that he was broken. Everything was alright.
"I will let you go now son. Tell Blaine I said hi, and now you. Listen to whaever your heart says kid, because well you seen how short of time you have left to say things like that. "
"I will.. Bye dad." Kurt hung up his cell phone and sighed. Everything would get better with time.
It would take some time, but Kurt trusted Blaine, because he was there when he needed him. He was forgetting the past, and moving on. Slowly, but it was for the best of both of them. "Kurt, Kurt." Blaine waved a hand in front of Kurt's face.
"Yes?"
"Are you okay? Also the eggs are done. "
"Yeah, I'm getting better..." Kurt smiled slightly at the boy in front of him.
Blaine walked around the table over to Kurt. Leaning in he kissed the boy softly on the lips. "Good, and I'm here if you need me."
"I know..." Kurt kissed the male back and pulled back to eat the eggs in front of him. "Your cooking is good."
"They are just eggs, Kurt."
"I know but the hospital food I had was nasty. This is actually decent."
"Oh, what does that mean? My cooking is bad?" Both boys laughed at the joke and Kurt thought.
Maybe everything would be alright for once...
