Promises And Secrets Chapter 10: Intruder Alert, a glee fanfic

Worry not, guys, and be patient. Sebastian will get his. I actually had this elaborate torture scene lined up for Sebastian involving tape, rope, itching powder, hot water, and uncomfortable settings; but I think that would probably get those involved thrown into jail. But...this is a fantasy. Lol But it ain't happening yet. Next chapter.

Sebastian walked up to the door to the Berry residence and rang the doorbell. Rachel answered. "Hello. Is Blaine here?"

"I'm sorry, Blaine's not feeling well at the moment. Please come by tomorrow." Rachel replied testily. She started to close the door when Sebastian stopped her with his foot. "Hey!"

"Sorry, but I need to see him." Sebastian pushed through the threshold and started walking towards the stairs.

"What the hell? You can't just barge in here!" Rachel cried angrily. She ran over to Sebastian as he started climbing the stairs and grabbed the back of his jacket. "Get out or I'll call my boyfriend!" Sebastian ignored Rachel and pulled from her grasp causing her to fall on her bottom. "Damn you!"

Meanwhile, back at the ranch- I mean, Hudmel homestead, Kurt lay comfortably on an armchair reading his favorite McQueen biography. Finn plopped down on the couch next to him.

"Hey, dude. Whatcha reading?" Finn asked.

"An Alexander McQueen biography." Kurt said without looking up.

"Oh, cool." Finn smiled. He sobered up and rubbed the back of his head. "So...we didn't get much of a chance to talk since glee club today."

"Uh-huh?" Kurt responded without interest.

"So...what'd you think of Blaine's song?" Finn asked.

"It was..." Kurt sighed and closed his book. He did not want to have this conversation with Finn right now, but he had a feeling Finn won't leave him alone unless he did. "Honestly, it was beautiful. I've always wanted Blaine to serenade me like that. I was deeply touched."

"Well, then why'd you reject him?" Finn shrugged.

"Because he broke my heart, Finn!" Kurt exclaimed. "What if we get back together and it happens again?"

Finn closed his eyes and nodded. "I understand how you feel. I mean...Rachel and Quinn cheated on me too, you know. But...I loved Quinn and I love Rachel. I can't live without Rachel. She's everything to me, which is why I forgave her for cheating."

Kurt swallowed back tears. "I can't...I can't live without Blaine, either. But...still...there's a risk..."

"Aww, you miss him." Finn said half-teasingly. He smiled and patted Kurt on the shoulder. "Hey...love is all about taking risks. It's also about forgiving each other and forgetting each others' mistakes."

Kurt smiled at Finn. "I guess you're right. I mean...I do still love him."

Finn stood up. "Do what you gotta do, dude." He left the room. Finn's cell phone rang.

"Finn, get over here! There's an intruder in my house!" Rachel exclaimed over the phone.

"What? I'll be there in a minute!"

Blaine put the finishing touches of moisturizing cream on his face when he heard someone knock on his door. "Come in." He called. The door opened, and to Blaine's horror, Sebastian walked in, closed the door, and locked it. Blaine stood up, quickly thinking of a defense plan. "What are you doing here?"

"You almost ruined my life." Sebastian glared at Blaine and slowly advanced towards him.

Blaine just scoffed. "I ruined your life? Ever since I met you, my life's been falling apart! Now, my dad kicked me out, Kurt broke up with me, everyone hates me! How the hell was your life 'almost ruined'?"

"Everything would've been fine if you had agreed to do me in the first place." Sebastian commented.

Blaine just shook his head and laughed humorlessly. "No, everything would've been fine if you had backed the hell off when I told you I had a boyfriend!" Sebastian walked over to Blaine, grabbed him by the front of the shirt, and slammed him down on his bed. "What the hell?" Sebastian climbed atop Blaine holding him down. "You realize I still have that video, right? And your dad's office address?"

"Shut up." Sebastian placed a hand over Blaine's nose and mouth preventing him from breathing. Blaine gasped in horror and tried fighting him off but to no avail.

'This is it. I'm done for.' Blaine thought. 'Good-bye, Kurt. I love you.'

BANG!

"CHAAAAA!"

Sebasian whipped around to see Finn had kicked open the door. Finn's eyes widened as he witnessed the scene.

"Hey! Get off him!" Finn ran over and pulled Sebastian off the bed and slammed him against the wall face-first.

Rachel ran over to Blaine, who sat up and started gasping for breath. "Hey, hey. Are you okay?"

Blaine swallowed and nodded. "Thanks...you came just in time."

Rachel sighed and hugged him. "I'm sorry."

Finn cast one more glance towards Rachel, then dragged Sebastian outside, threw him against his car and pinned him against it.\

"You can't treat me like this!" Sebastian snarled. "My father is an attorney. He'll throw your ass in prison!"

"Oh. Oh, you wanna play that card, huh? Punk?" Finn asked. "Well, my stepfather is a congressman. He can get in touch with the president and have you banned from this country. Would you like that?"

"You're bluffing."

"Trust me: I'm not." Finn responded. "If you ever come near my girlfriend, stepbrother, or Blaine, or any of our friends with intention to harm again, I will make that a reality."

"You. Wouldn't. Dare."

"Feel free to test that theory." Finn let go of Sebastian, who glared at Finn before getting into his car and driving off. He sighed. 'Damn, he's worse than Jesse.'

Finn entered his house and was surprised by Kurt. "Whoa!"

"Sorry. Didn't mean to scare you." Kurt said, holding his hands up. "Is Rachel okay?"

"Uh, yeah." Finn nodded. 'Please don't ask who the intruder was...'

"So...who was the intruder?" Kurt asked.

'Dammit!' "Um...someone we both know." Finn said nervously.

"It wasn't Jesse St. Suck again, was it?" Kurt raised an eyebrow.

"Worse. Sebastian." Finn admitted. "He tried to kill Blaine."

Kurt paled and his stomach dropped. "What? Is-is he okay? What exactly happened?"

Finn held his hands up to calm his stepbrother down. "He's fine. I arrived just in time."

Kurt sighed in relief. He sat down and put his face in his hands. If Finn was too late... He looked up. "Thank you. For saving him."

"You're welcome." Finn smiled. "By the way, I was so right- you do miss him!"

Kurt glared at his stepbrother, who smiled, chuckled, and sprinted off.

Rachel sat in her room processing the nights' events, as well as what Kurt and Finn- her two favorite guys in the world after her dads- had gone through in the last few months. It seemed like her dreams were happening while theirs fell apart. She wished there was something she could do.

Every time she felt sad, she would sing a song. Rachel had the perfect song in mind.

Baby girl, close your eyes.
You don't know the strength you have inside
If I could I'd shelter you from all the pain that we all must go through
But it's up to you.

She looked on as Blaine got himself ready for bed. They bonded over living together. He was starting to feel like a brother to her.

The road is long – it twists and turns
But everything in life you live and learn
No one ever said that life was easy or that all in love is fair
But look inside your heart you'll find the answer waiting there

She kept thinking about Kurt, how he had all these big dreams about Broadway and NYADA. But it didn't seem like it was going to happen since he's on the waiting list. It seems like Kurt was failing everything.

If you ever lose your way
You don't have to be afraid
Look inside to find a friend
Who'll be with you 'til the end
Many different roads to choose
Searching for the strength to make it through
But it was always there in you

Hopes can fail and dreams can fade
Rain can fall down on your big parade
Maybe love will take your heart or break your heart
There are no guarantees
But love will always find you when you just believe

The strength you're longing to find
You know it's true
It was there all the time
If you stand stronger, work harder, reach for the sky
I know you will eventually fly

It was a hard decision, but...Kurt deserved the spot for NYADA more than her. It would make him feel like this year and everything he worked for wasn't for nothing. She opened up her acceptance letter online and hit "delete". She can always transfer after a semester at another school. She cried softly.

Two or three more chapters, guys! Oh, and the song Rachel sings is called Always There In You by the Valli Girls. It's on the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants soundtrack.
