YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING! Thank you so much for reading, I am in shock- I cannot believe that people actually liked this! Seriously, my brother started yelling at me because I freaked out when I saw your reviews- and thank you Candi Cullen because you are probably the reason I decided to stick with this :) (that and my DBFFAEAE Devon, but I still probably wouldn't be writing this if it wasn't for your comment). I am sincerely sorry about taking so long but after all of your lovely reviews I didn't want to disappoint you so I kinda deleted my whole chapter two- it was not that great because I didn't expect to post it anyway. Then I had stuff to do for camp.

My name is obviously not Ryan so obviously I do not own Glee :( or Chris :( or Darren :(

Chapter 2- Reasons Why

"Hey Kurt—wait are you crying?" Running over, I put my arms around him, "What's wrong? Are you okay?" I feel like my heart is being ripped out of my chest- how can someone I've only known for a week do this to me? I am already dreading leaving to go home for the weekend tomorrow.

"I'm fine I just don't want to go home," Kurt wipes his eyes and tries to turn away. "It is easier to forget while I'm here." He tries to walk away but I grab his arm. I never asked him why he came to Dalton and now I think I should have. What happened to drive Kurt out of Lima, Ohio?

"Kurt, what are you trying to forget?" I look into his eyes and try to figure out what happened but I cannot figure it out. "Does this have to with the reasons why you came to Dalton?" As Kurt sadly nods I reach over to wrap him in a hug. "Okay, you don't have to- but do you want to tell me what happened?"

"I want to tell you but I don't know if I can," Kurt wipes his eyes and looks at me. I nod reassuringly and he continues. "Well, at my other school there was this neanderthal, Karofsky, who decided because I was the only openly gay kid at school he could make my life living hell. He shoved me into lockers, tossed me into dumpsters, and always had something insulting to throw my way. Even worse were the slushies he poured on me daily. One day I snapped. I told him the reason he was so awful to me was because he was ignorant and scared of how different I was and he ki- after all of this he threatened to kill me... so I left."

Thinking over what Kurt has told me, I notice his slight hesitation at the end. "Kurt are you sure that is everything," I search his eyes and know there is more. "What else happened, Kurt?"

"I didn't tell anybody this, but after I had said my piece I thought he was going to hit me. Instead... he kissed me... and I had never been kissed." Kurt bursts into fresh sobs as I sit there, stunned. I want to find this Karofsky and hurt him like he hurt Kurt. How could you do that to such an innocent, pure, adorable human being? I wish that I could shield Kurt from all of the bad things in life. He already had to deal with so much, without Karofsky adding to that trouble. I don't want to leave Kurt ever- much less for the whole weekend. There is no way I am going to let him go home and deal with this all by himself. I am either going to keep him here or I'm going with him.

"Kurt, please stay here this weekend," I give him my best puppy-dog eyes. "Please."

"I'm supposed to go home this weekend- Carole said Finn has been lost without me all week," Kurt rolls his eyes at this and continues. "I don't think they will mind though- especially if I tell them I have a lot of homework to do. And Blaine?"

"Yes Kurt," I stand up and grab his hand. This simple action feels so right, I don't want to let go. I wonder if Finn is Kurt's boyfriend and jealousy jolts through me. No- this is about Kurt, not you, and right now Kurt is talking!

"Thank you for listening and letting me dump all of this crap on you. It really means a lot to me that you took the time to ask when no one else did." Kurt's smile is breath-taking and I pull him into a hug. He is so soft and warm and delicate. He is the most perfect person I have, or ever will, meet. I wish I could hold him like this forever and not have to worry about everything else.

"Kurt, you can always talk to me and I will always be here ready to listen. Remember that. You can tell me anything." I stare into his amazing eyes and I know that I am exactly what he needs right now. Someone to talk to. He doesn't need a boyfriend (though my jealousy over this Finn guy is still present) and he would never like someone like me anyway. I'm just a short, goofy, curly-haired hobbit. He makes me loose my dapper-ness and that probably makes him like me even less than he already does. He deserves better than me.

"Thank you," Kurt whispers softly before walking away.

Kurt's POV

Wow. Blaine is the most amazing person I have ever met. Thinking about those neanderthals, Karofsky and Azimio, I start to feel a little scared. I look around and notice I am sitting on a bench in the middle of the hallway. Then it hits me. I don't have to be scared. Everyone is so nice to me it is impossible to compare them to the horrible jocks of Lima, that I know will all work for me one day. The Warblers are all impossibly polite and dapper. Especially, Blaine. Blaine. He is perfect. He is dapper and funny and gorgeous. Even I know I am lying when I say he is merely gorgeous- more like supermegafoxyawesomehot! I admit that I am uselessly crushing on him. What would a guy like Blaine ever want with a freak like me- a fashionable, bitchy, freak- but a freak all the same? Still, he is gay, so I call that progress.

"Hey Kurt," Wes nods as he walks by. Seeing this as an opportunity to discuss the set list for Sectionals, and increase his opinion of me- therefore increasing my chances for a solo, I get up quickly to follow him.

"Hey Wes! I have some ideas for Sectionals that I wanted to run by you..."

Did you guys like it? I apologize for its lateness and all the errors that I probably made considering I wrote over half of it just now at 2:45am. I am leaving for camp for 2 weeks tomorrow (or later today) so I really wanted to update before I left. Just saying now- 2 weeks of camp and then family is coming for a week so it could be between 2 and 3 weeks *hides * I am really sorry :( After that updates will be more frequent- I promise :)

Please review and feedback/suggestions are helpful and appreciated! Thanks :)
