Kurt and Blaine arrive back at the high school with Will. The three of them go over how they plan on auditioning potential new members. Since so many people have signed up they decide to split into groups Will, Artie, and Tina will meet with one group, Kurt, Sam, and Sugar will meet a group, and Blaine, Joe, and Rory will meet with the last group. Around seven Will gets in his car and heads home. He tells Kurt to lock up the choir room. As they're finishing up a few things Blaine grabs Kurt and holds him in his arms trying not to cry.
All day long his mind has been on what happened to Sam. Its brought up nothing but the awful memory of his own sexual assault, his own rape. He can't hold back his tears anymore and he cries on Kurt's shoulder. Kurt was originally turned on by Blaine's sudden grab, but now he was concerned.
"Blaine, what's wrong?" Kurt says rubbing his boyfriend's back.
Blaine pulls back and the two grab chairs and Blaine rests his head on Kurt's shoulder. Kurt runs his fingers through Blaine's hair, avoiding getting gel on his hands. Blaine sobs heavily. Kurt waits for him to calm down before speaking. Blaine dries his eyes, and clears his throat.
"Kurt I need to tell you something." Blaine's eyes hold pain and sorrow that he desperately wants to relieve himself from.
"You can tell me anything, Blaine." Kurt gives him a warm smile.
"Do you remember when I told you about me and the only other gay kid at my old school getting beat up?" Kurt can see Blaine starting to choke up so he gently kisses him on the forehead.
Blaine calms down thanks to Kurt, and he tells Kurt everything that happened to him and Tucker. He even includes the end of the story, which he did not share with Sam. Kurt is holding back his tears the best that he can. He knows how hard it must be for Blaine to tell him all of this.
"After they made us get dressed and then they… they beat the crap out of us again. They hit me so hard that I ended up in a coma for four days. And Tucker… he…he never woke up." Blaine wipes away a tear from his right eye.
"What happened to the guys that did that to you?" Kurt asks as his voice cracks.
"Three of them went to prison, the last guy, Ryan got off on a technicality. Something about my memory not matching up with what I had told the cops. I had mild amnesia and so I forgot some things when I first talked to the cops. Since Ryan was a minor his involvement his name was hidden from record." Blaine drags his hands over his face, exasperated.
"What brought all of this up Blaine? I mean, you've kept it buried for so long, why now?" Kurt takes Sam by the hand.
"Because of Sam." Blaine says slightly chocking on his words.
"What does Sam have…Oh my God. Last night he…" Kurt realizes the truth and his heart breaks for his friend and his boyfriend.
"Kurt you can't say anything. Sam doesn't want anyone to know." Kurt nods a quick yes.
"I'm gonna go get the car. I'll meet you out front." Blaine gets up and leaves quickly.
As Kurt finishes putting away a few things he spots someone standing in the door way from the corner of his eye. He turns and sees Ryan Sheffield, a senior who was new to McKinley.
"Can I help you?" Kurt asks nervously. Though he's never met Ryan, he is afraid to be around him.
Ryan's eyes are dark and ominous. He lurches his way towards Kurt. Kurt wants to leave but his feet are frozen until Ryan begins to back him into the piano.
"All you fags just keep popping up wherever I go. Someone really ought to exterminate you little pests once and for all." Ryan's low voice has Kurt shaking with fear.
"Or maybe, you just need to be shown who the man is around here. Little bitches like you, like Sammy boy, like taking it don't you, bitch?" Kurt tries to call out but only a slight squeaking sound comes out.
"Oh don't worry, I'm gonna make you scream." Ryan grabs Kurt by the shoulders and slams his head into the top of the piano.
Kurt's forehead is split open. It's not deep but Kurt has to force himself to stay awake. All he can think of is Blaine and how he wished he were there to save him. He can feel Ryan trying to force his tightfitting pants off of his body. The larger teen practically rips off his skinny jeans. Kurt begins to think about Sam now and how he scared he must've been when Ryan did this to him. Ryan was the reason Sam never came over to the apartment to be with Finn last night. Ryan was the reason that Blaine had carried the burden of the memory of being forced to have sex with his friend, and then he watched his friend die before slipping into a coma himself. How could they let this guy go? Kurt's mind is all over the place. Thinking hurts him, but he can't help it. He tries to fight but Ryan is too strong and has his right arm bent behind his back. He can feel Ryan about to invade his body, when suddenly his arm is free. He can move again. When he tries to turn he falls to the ground hard. He looks over and sees Blaine on top of Ryan, punching him over and over. Blaine unleashes a final blow and Ryan's head flies from Blaine's fist into the hard tiled floor below. Though it was a short ways down Kurt here a sudden crack and Ryan's body goes limp, his head rolling over facing Kurt. Kurt watches as the light fades from Ryan's eyes. He knows the attacker is dead, and he can hear nothing but silence for a moment, and then he hears Blaine screaming.
Kurt awakens in the hospital with Blaine resting next to him. He can see his boyfriend's hand is now in a cast, broken from taking down Ryan. Blaine is facing curt and his cheeks are tearstained. Kurt wishes he could take every bit of pain away but he can't. He fears for what lies ahead for the two of them. He fears for what lies ahead for Finn and Sam.
Outside of his room Kurt can hear Carole talking to the doctors. Apparently he'd needed surgery to fix a bleed in his brain. The cops were also outside waiting, most likely wanting to get Kurt's statement. He can hear his father's voice coming from down the hall. He's talking to Finn. Apologizing for the way he and Carole had acted during lunch the other day. He wants Finn and Sam to come to the hospital. Something about Sam needing to give the police his statement as well, he wonders if Sam will feel up to it, or if he'll feel up to it.
He feels movement nearby on the bed. Blaine's eyes flicker open he smiles when he sees Kurt smiling happily at him.
"Hey there." Blaine says with a happy groan.
"Hey." Kurt's voice is horse and raw.
"How are you feeling?" Blaine asks hesitantly.
"Head hurts, but I…I'm gonna be ok. How are you?" Kurt asks reaching out to touch Blaine's face.
"Just a broken hand … and maybe some psychological damage, but it's nothing a little therapy can't cure." Blaine moves closer and gently kisses Kurt on the lips.
The cops ask Blaine to step out after the doctor checks out Kurt to make sure he's ok. Kurt gives his statement and the police clear Blaine of any wrongdoings in Ryan's death. Finn and Sam arrive not long after. Finn holds Sam while he gives his statement. The police leave and everyone is told to leave so Kurt can get some rest. Blaine lies and says he and Kurt are engaged so that he can stay the night. Sam calls his dad and tells him that he'll be spending the night at Finn's, no sex, just sleeping.
That night Sam falls asleep in Finn's arms, and for once he doesn't dream of Ryan. He dreams only of the life he wants with Finn.
OK SO BASICALLY I FEEL LIKE THIS WOULD BE A GOOD ENDING, BUT IT'S NOT. IT'S MERELY THE BEGINNING OF SOMETHING BIGGER….I HOPE
