Blaine had not talked to Matthew since their encounter in the choir room, which was over a week ago. He did not know why he was nervous to talk to him. He knew that he did not have any feelings for him because he was still in love with Kurt even though they had broken up, but there was something about Matthew that he could not understand.

Blaine saw Matthew rush out Math class so he followed. Blaine turned the corner and stopped when he saw Matthew at his locker. *That was Kurt's locker* Blaine thought to himself. He walked over to Matthew.

"Hey," Blaine said with a smile.

"Hey." Matthew said without even taking a look at Blaine. He was still putting his books in.

"So," Blaine started. "I was wondering if you were going to do anything after school today."

"Why?" Matthew asked shortly, still putting his books in his locker.

"Because I wanted to know if you wanted to hang out. Maybe get a coffee?" Blaine said. Matthew shut his locker and looked at Blaine.

"Don't tell me you're that into me." Matthew teased as he turned to start walking. Blaine followed beside him.

"No," Blaine said with a smile. "I just like making new friends and you seem like an interesting person."

"I'm not. Trust me, I'm a pretty boring person." Matthew said still walking. "That's why I haven't made any friends yet."

"Well," Blaine said. "You can start today." They both stopped walking and Matthew turned to face Blaine.

He sighed and said, "Fine. I'll meet you at the Lima Bean after school." With that said, Matthew kept walking and left Blaine standing there smiling.

When Blaine entered the Lima Bean after school, he did not see Matthew. *I hope he didn't leave* Blaine thought. He spotted Brittany and Sam. He walked over to them. When Same noticed him he smiled and said, "Hey Blaine."

"Hey guys," Blaine said. "Have you two seen Matthew around here?"

"You mean that new kid in math?" Sam asked.

"Yeah." Blaine replied.

"Nah," Sam said. "That kid is a little weird."

"Lord Tubbington thinks he's weird too." Brittany said. "But he is smart and he's going to help me pass Pre-Algebra this year for sure."

"Well, he never talks to anyone." Sam said. "He's always sitting alone."

"Maybe he's waiting for someone to talk to him." Blaine said.

"There's your date Blaine Warbler." Brittany said. Blaine turned and saw that Matthew had walked through the doors. He turned back to Sam and Brittany and said good-bye. He walked toward Matthew.

"Hey," Blaine said. "I didn't think you were going to show up."

"I wasn't." Matthew said with a serious tone. A look of disappointment covered Blaine's face. "I'm kidding! You have to lighten up a little."

"I can't tell whether you're being serious or joking." Blaine said as they walked to order their beverages.

"You'll get used it." Matthew said. He walked up to order his drink. "Can I have just a water please? Thank you." He looked at Blaine and said, "I don't drink coffee." Blaine ordered his coffee and once he got it they went to go sit down.

"So, Matthew," Blaine said. "What's your story?"

"There isn't much to tell." Matthew said. Blaine noticed that Matthew had two long scars going down his arm.

"What happened to your arm?" Blaine asked. Matthew looked and put his arm under the table. "Sorry." Blaine said.

"No," Matthew said. "It's fine. It happened a long time ago." Matthew took a drink of his water. "I fell of off my bike when I was younger. I've always been a little embarrassed by them."

"There isn't anything wrong with it." Blaine said. "The scars just add more to your story."

"What's your story Blaine?" Matthew said. Blaine sighed. "It's too long to tell."

"I have nothing to do today so go ahead." Matthew said. "Begin." Blaine told Matthew about his time at Dalton Academy and how he was captain of the Warblers. He also mentioned how he was a victim of bullying and was beaten senseless outside of a school dance. Blaine talked about when he had met Kurt and how he transferred from Dalton to McKinley just to be with Kurt. "But it doesn't seem to matter anymore." Blaine said. "We're not even together, but I still have feelings for him."

"Why did you two break up?" Matthew asked. "It seems like you two were made for each other."

"I cheated." Blaine said after a long sigh. He told the story about how he cheated on Kurt while he was in New York and the reasons behind it. "Well," Matthew said after Blaine was done talking. "It seems like you both were at fault here." Blaine didn't say anything. "I mean," Matthew continued. "You were the one who told him to go to New York in the first place, but Kurt should have also been there for you when you needed him and should have listened to you when you needed to talk, but I still think you shouldn't have cheated."

"Thanks for your support." Blaine said.

"Well," Matthew said, ready to defend himself. "Both you and Kurt knew that being in a long distance relationship would test you both as far as being faithul to each other. You both knew the consequences, but went for it anyway. Long distance relationships hardly ever work. Haven't you seen movies?"

"I just thought I'd never cheat on my partner." Blaine said. Tears were forming in his eyes.

"Blaine don't cry." Matthew said. "So you made a mistake. We all do, some mistakes are bigger than others, but we always learn from them and we become better people. You did learn, right?" Blaine nodded.

"I just wish he would forgive me." Blaine said.

"He will." Matthew said. "Just give him time. Only time will tell." He smiled and patted Blaine's hand. Blaine looked up and smiled back at Matthew with red eyes. Just then Matthew's phone rang. He reached for it and saw it was his father.

"Ugh." Matthew said and put his phone back in his pocket.

"Who was that?" Blaine asked.

"My father." Matthew said.

"And you're not going to call him back?"

"No," Matthew said. "I never want to talk to him again in my life."

"Why not?" Blaine asked. Matthew seemed to pretend not to hear Blaine's question.

"I have to go." He said and stood up.

"Thanks Blaine," Matthew said. "I had a nice time." Matthew gave one last smile and walked out of the door. When Matthew was outside, his phone rang again.

"What?" He answered with an attitude. "I don't want to talk to you...No, I'm not going back to live with you...well, you should have thought of that before you did what you did to me. I don't ever want you to call me again because if you do, I will call the police." Matthew ended the call and wiped the tears away from his eyes.
