So sorry it took so long to update! Life is crazy... well back to the story, enjoy! It's much longer than the others.. My longest chapter yet! Yay! :)


Chapter Four

Kurt and Chris had actually started to figure this whole thing out. They had come to call Chris' universe Real and the 'Glee-verse' (that's what Chris called it, which made Kurt roll his eyes every time) Glee, just like the show. In Glee time, it had been a day, in Real time, a week. Kurt was starting to adjust, but he missed his life.

One day Kurt had a really rough day at work. Ryan yelled at him for being unfocused, Darren was out sick so he had no one to talk to (he didn't feel comfortable with anyone else), and he was missing Blaine like crazy. He went home sobbing, slamming the door to his room, not caring who heard. Suddenly all he wanted to do was scream- why couldn't this be a crazy dream? He pinched himself over and over, hoping to not feel a thing. But he screeched in pain each time.
He was so tired of acting like he was Chris, he missed his friends, his family, but most of all, he couldn't get Blaine out of his head. How was Chris dealing with Blaine? No doubt he'd kissed Darren before, but never the real Blaine. He lets out a choked sob and thinks- wait! If he can contact Chris... can he contact Blaine?

This number is not available, the automated voice in the phone says. Kurt, bawling, painstakingly dials his own number.


Chris

Chris hears his phone ring. 'I think I'll try, defying grav-'

Chris cuts it off when he sees his own name on the screen.

"I'll be back. I have to go talk to someone." He says. He's at a sleepover with Rachel, Mercedes, and Blaine. Being with Blaine is extremely nerve-wraking; how do you tell your 'boyfriend' that you're not his boyfriend, but you act as him on a TV show... oh, not to mention you're from an alternate universe, that thinks you all are fake...

"Be back soon." Blaine says, winking at Chris. Chris visibly winces, causing Blaine's head to explode with possibilities as to why 'Kurt' had been acting like this.

He's going to try to put me down easy...

I did something wrong and now he hates me...

He has cancer and is dying and he won't tell us...

Blaine's thoughts won't shut up, making the worst possibilities that could exist. He sighs. Suddenly Chris' voice drifts in, sharp, through the door.

"No, Kurt, you cannot talk to Blaine! Are you crazy? He can't deal with it! Don't be selfish!"

Blaine hears a choked sob on the other end of the line... he recognizes it... it's Kurt's! So who is here, now? Does he have an identical twin or something?

"No, you listen to me!" Chris yells. "This could damage him forever! We can't... he'll think he's crazy or something. Kurt I gotta go... yeah. Okay, have fun with Lea." Blaine can practically hear the smirk on the unknown boy's lips.

Blaine's had enough.

"Kurt, who are you talking to? I could hear you from Rachel's room." Suddenly Chris finds himself sobbing- he's been through high school already, he thought he escaped this hell! But now he doesn't even have his parents, or his friend, his only friend post-glee, whose name, coincidentally, was Kurt.

There are no coincidences, his brain says.

Blaine holds him, and even though he's realized this boy is definitely not Kurt, he comforts him.

"Shh... it's going to be okay. Shh..." For a moment he forgets that the boy isn't Kurt and he kisses Chris' temple. Chris noticeably stiffens. Sniffling, he looks up.

"Thanks." He mutters, turning bright red.

"It's no problem. I love helping people."

"I know." The words are out before Chris can stop them.

"Listen, who are you? Where's Kurt?"

Chris sighs. "You wouldn't believe me if I told you."

"Then let Kurt tell me!" Blaine insists. Chris sighs and takes out Kurt's phone. "Why do you have Kurt's phone?"

Chris doesn't answer. He dials his number and Kurt picks up on the first ring. Chris hands Blaine the phone.

"Chris, I thought you said you had to go." Kurt sounds confused. Chris. So that was the boy's name.

"K-kurt? It's Bla-"

"I can recognize your voice, silly." Kurt says playfully, but he still sounds confused. "Hey, Blaine... how many days has it been since you saw me?"

Now Blaine is confused, but he says, "Just one." Kurt sighs.

"Figures." Then he mutters something Blaine can't fully make out, but it sounds something like, 'Damn real-time'

"Blaine... if I told you something that... that I wouldn't believe a week ago... would you believe me?"

"Of course. You're my best friend... I love you... crap, I mean, in a best friendish kind of way..."

He saw Chris roll his eyes and mutter, "Typical Blaine, god he's such a hopeless romantic. They're not even together yet." Blaine glares at him. "You move me, Kurt." Chris mimics, joking with Blaine, but Blaine's eyes widen.

"Shut up! I haven't told him yet!" Kurt chooses to ignore whatever they're bickering about.

"Blaine.." Kurt says, "I'm in an alternate universe. Chris will explain it all. Every word he says is true, okay?"

Blaine is gaping with his mouth open."Okay..." He whispers. "This isn't a joke, is it?"

Kurt sighs. "Unfortunately not. Listen, I have to go film the show... I mean, um.."

Blaine sighs. "Goodbye, Kurt." He hangs up and turns to Chris. "So. Tell me everything."
