D/N: The characters of Glee within this story are not owned by me.
Those red flashes quickly turned into football jerseys. But who Kurt thought was in the football jersey, wasn't there. Amizio was about to throw a fist into Kurt's face, but he ducked in time and let his body fall to the floor, missing the hit. Kurt looked around trying to find ways of defending himself and call help.
With no other options than the metal lockers and his wailing voice, he gave it a shot. Amizio grabbed Kurt by the shirt and picked him up, slamming him into the locker. Kurt kicked and punched the lockers as well, hoping that he was accumulating enough loud noise. As a precaution, he began to yell and holler. He wasn't going to go down without a fight. Just then, there was another flash of red. Kurt knew more of them were coming. He embraced himself for the worst.
Most of the Glee clubbers were dancing the time away without a care in the world, except for Blaine. Kurt shouldn't have taken this long to put his school books away. His locker was only a little ways away. But Blaine couldn't help but be a little bit worried. He ventured to the halls by himself to find his love.
Almost immediately after stepping into the hall, he heard banging. Blaine's thoughts quickly went to the worst. He ran to get Mr. Shuester and dragged him to find what and where the noise was coming from. After running through the maze of halls, they came across the scene.
Kurt was laying on the floor, propped up on his elbows, watching Karofsky and Amizio in a duel. Karofsky shoved Amizio into the lockers away from Kurt, "I told you not to go after him anymore!"
Blaine ran for Kurt as Mr. Shuester ran for the football players to break up the fight. Blaine comforted Kurt and held him close. There was only minor scratches and small bruises accumulating.
"Alright boys! Break it up," Mr. Shuester shoved the players off of each other. He started pulling the players towards the front office, but Kurt yelped and got up quickly from the floor.
Kurt got Karofsky's attention and signed to him, 'Thank you.'
Karofsky bounced on his knee and bit his lip before signing back with an open palm facing towards the ceiling and pulling it into his waist, 'You're welcome.'
Kurt was stunned. He pointed at the taller boy and circled his index fingers around each other, 'You sign?'
Karofsky pointed at himself, then grabbed air and put it to his forehead, 'I'm learning.'
Kurt nodded and smiled softly. Mr. Shuester pulled on Karofsky's sleeve and walked the two players down the hallway.
Blaine just watched and muttered to himself in realization, "It wasn't Dave all along. He was actually trying to stop the.. bullying?" He had never been so confused. His eyes trailed upwards to see Kurt was chucking at him. Kurt pointed at his mouth and made circles, then pointed to Blaine, 'Talking to yourself?'
After a few seconds, Blaine realized what Kurt had signed and laughed. He nodded and walked over to Kurt to hold him close. Things were finally starting to look better. The bully situation was going to be taken care of and slowly but surely Kurt was going to heal.
Kurt was explained to of the occurrences that happened with Amizio, Sam and Artie. The school provided a translator in Principal Figgins office to help Kurt understand all of their situations. He was signed to that Amizio was kicked off the football team and only was allowed back on if he completed his detention worth of two weeks of cleaning teachers boards after school, getting his grades up and when he completed his tasks, he had to try-out for the football team again.
Sam and Artie's quarrel died after having meetings with Mr. Shuester and Principal Figgins. Sam had found the razor that Kurt lost that day in the bathroom and only kept it because he didn't know what to do with it. He decided to confess that he had the razor in class when Kurt was gone and that's when Artie initiated the argument. Apparently, Artie believed that Sam was making him hurt himself and was providing the razors.
Kurt knew all of what Artie believed wasn't true but how crazy did this all get when he was gone? He was then told that since the arguments have been done, both boys have had pushed their differences aside and went on in their lives. Everyone wanted to help in some way and reached out to him as much as they could. The whole Glee Club even did a performance promoting to reach out if anyone sees signs within their own set of friends or for anyone who needs help. Blaine was in the audience as well and gave a standing ovation for Kurt.
Kurt himself decided to be more positive and let negative happenings roll off his shoulders. He decided to do more after school activities. He picked up baking, a college class to get his start, sewing to start making his own outfits now, and started a Sign Language Club. However, after a few weeks of waiting for people to attend, he decided to shut it down and give Blaine one on one classes at his home. Although, whenever his parents and/or Finn weren't home, Blaine and Kurt's classes became a whole other type of after school activity.
Time flew by and Kurt's cuts now turned into scars. He would use cremes to make them disappear as much as they could but for the most part, he used the left over scars as a way to push himself foward and to remind himself to be a better person. To reach out for help and use his new after school activities to fight his urges to the point that they were finally gone.
He and his family felt so proud when Kurt was walking across the stage to accept his high school diploma. He softly signed 'Thank you,' to Principal Figgins and turned to the audience to see Blaine sitting alongside his step-mother, Carole. Poor Carole was crying freely and holding onto Burt for dear life. Blaine had the biggest smile on his face and gave Kurt not only a thumbs up, but a air kiss.
Kurt smiled back and winked. He looked over to see Finn on the other side of the stage waiting for him to cross and stand next to him. Rachel was already across the stage as well in the B section and waved at Kurt. After he waved back he turned towards the ceremony again and waited for the rest of the class to cross the stage. After the last words were said during the ceremony, Kurt took his tassel and put the strings on the left side. He was offically a high school graduate.
He never felt so proud of himself. Everything that had happened within these four years were now a memory to be cherished: first attending the school, completing his first hard test, finally remembering his locker combination, his first kiss, his first boyfriend, Blaine, over coming his hardest of times and above all, graduating as his loved ones watched. This moment couldn't have been any better. He didn't know what was to come, but no matter what, he wanted to try his best.
At the graduation party, he decided to sit outside and get some air on the porch. He smiled at himself, proud of his achievement. Tomorrow, Blaine was going to graduate from Dalton and Blaine invited him to attend. Then, tomorrow night a graduation party for him.
As if Blaine had known Kurt was thinking about him, he came outside and sat next to Kurt. Lightly brushing his hand with his own. Even in the swelling darkness, Kurt could see Blaine point to himself, then put two bent V's with both of hands, tapping them together. He then put his thumb at his stomach and grazed it to the top of his chest, then pointed to Kurt, 'I'm very proud of you.'
Kurt grabbed Blaine's hand and smiled into a kiss. After pulling away, they held themselves closer and looked out into the night sky. This night was perfect and now their lives were perfect as long as they were in each others lives. For a little more time, both boys looked upwards to the sky and saw what they have become and what they will be for the rest of their lives, stars.
