(Blaine's POV)
We remained silent for the entire duration of the car journey home. The radio being the only noise other than the engine itself. Neither of us sang along to the modern music that blasted through the low quality speakers. Every so often i'd sneak a glance at the boy who had serenaded me infront of his friends, finding his eyes concentrated on the road and nothing else, not like any of our previous journies.
We pulled up to the house, noticing Finn's car wasn't back yet, neither were Carole or Burt's. I sighed inwardly, letting my worry drain from my body. I stumbled into the house, going straight upto my bedroom without another glance in Kurt's direction. I lay on face down my bed, I had no idea what was going on or why we felt so uncomfortable with eachother, I know it was probably difficult considering the fact that his friends were in the room but i never told him to sing to me, his words still haunting me.
I felt cold, covering myself with my blanket as I looked at my phone, finding no texts, which was about right considering Kurt was the only person to text me now we'd exchanged numbers. I thought back to his flawless performance as tears collected in my eyes, nobody had ever sang to me like that before, with so much emotion and love in his voice as well as his eyes as he looked at me.
I closed my eyes, thinking what i'd possibly done wrong and couldn't find anything. I let myself relax, blocking all thoughts of Kurt as my mind wandered. What if I moved schools? I had a lot of money in the bank from my parents and my grandmother, which means I could go to a private school; that would mean moving out of the Hummel's house and getting a life again, one my father couldnt control and that would let me truely discover myself. I didn't know who I was anymore and that scared me to death.
I reached beside my bed for my laptop, researching private schools in the area that would allow me to board in the week, so i'd only live at the Hummel house at the weekends until I found permenant residance. I found one named Dalton Academy in Westerville, Ohio and I smiled, it looked beautiful, large and no doubt expensive.
I spent about an hour looking at Dalton online, its "No bullying" policy making my mind boggle at the thought. I grinned, this was the school for me. When Carole and Burt came home, I talked to the pair of my 'guardians' about the prospect, telling them everything and how I think it'd help me. They agreed easier than I thought they would, although they made sure that I remembered that I would always have a home with them, which made tears spill from all of us at the thought of me moving out even for just the weekdays. I'd become a part of the family within the week i'd lived with them. Burt agreeing to take me to see Dalton Academy and we all decided they would become my legal guardians, even despite the small amount of time I'd physically known them.

One week later
"You're... moving schools?" Kurt asked, he was standing in the doorway to my bedroom as I lay on my stomach. I sat up abruptly, worrying as I hadn't planned what I was going to say. So I didnt.. I simply nodded as he walked into the room, closing my door behind him.
"Blaine.. I'm really gonna miss you" he said, walking towards me and sitting on my bed. I moved closer to him, letting the warmth of his body warm me as I wrapped my arms around him, my face tucked away to hide in his chest. He couldn't see that I was crying at just the prospect of leaving him, but what could I say? "Hey Kurt, I need to move schools because I rely on you for everything" I'd love to see how that was going to go down...
Kurt held me close, his hand rubbing my back with affection. "Just know, they're gonna love you there... but you're not getting rid of me okay? I'll text you during the day and make sure you don't feel alone".
The same day I left to look around Dalton. I enrolled there and then. I'd be starting a fresh at school next week. At Dalton Academy.
