Thank you for all the reviews! For those of you wondering, I didn't mean that I was writing everyday for Project CREATE, though I did write this today and I'm posting it for it, I'm sorry if I made it seem like that. And thanks to my main inspiration for this chapter, my two knew friends Taye and Patricia, who have the best role play on Twitter ever. And to the rest of my R5 and Glee family on Twitter for helping to spread the word about this. And also Curt Mega once again for being part of what inspired me to make it in the first place. I apologize ahead of time for my lack of writing that I will get done this week. And next weekend is going to be crazy, so I may not post one then. I've been trying to do a chapter every week, but it's been crazy lately, but I promise I will try harder! Enjoy and thanks for reading!
(I do NOT own Glee! If I did, all Finnchel fans would HATE me!) :)
Together We Are
Chapter 4
I Love You
Dan was frozen, his eyes wide with shock and disbelief. He actually came back, he thought to himself. Deep down he figured that he would come back, just not this soon. It had only been a month.
Blaine didn't know what to do. He just stood looking at the boy beside him, who was staring at the boy walking towards them. He was scared, because he knew what this boy could do.
And of course Dan was scared too, because he knew the threats weren't just threats, they were promises. Promises of destruction, and promises that someone would get hurt.
Sebastian walked towards the two boys, a smile on his face. "Hello Dan, nice to see you again." Then he turned to Blaine, "And you must be Blaine, right? I've heard so much about you. How your parents beat you, and killed your brother. That's so awful."
"That's enough Sebastian! He doesn't need to hear about his past from someone of the likes of you!" Dan yelled at him.
Sebastian's smile just got bigger. "Watch your tongue Dan. Like I said, you stand in my way, and you'll get hurt too."
Blaine was close to tears, but also looked angry, and yet confused. He looked to Dan, "W-what's he talking about?"
"Oh you'll see soon enough." Sebastian answered. "Now, where is Blue, I need him to start my plan." he said, looking around thoughtfully.
"You mean, you don't know where he is?" asked Dan, almost in relief.
Sebastian looked confused, "No, I don't. Why? Where is he?"
"I have no idea. He, Nick, and Jeff, never came back from class." Dan answered. "We were just looking for them."
"Oh, what a shame. I guess they'll be looking for you for a while then." Sebastian said, with an evil grin.
"What are you talking about?" Dan asked nervously.
"Come on!" Sebastian said, pulling them down an alley that went back to his car. Both boys knew better than to try and get away, so they just kept walking.
They walked until they reached a drain pipe. There was a ladder leading down into the drain. It was wet, and full of trash, and probably rats.
"Climb down. Now." Sebastian barked at the two boys.
They did as he said. It was wet, and freezing, and as Dan had suspected, full of rats.
Sebastian then pulled out some duck tape, and a knife. He pointed the knife at Dan and said, "Turn around."
Dan immediately turned around, and Sebastian started to tape his hands and ankles, then he turned him back around, put a piece on his mouth, and shoved him on the ground. Then he turned to Blaine.
"I really wish I didn't have to do this to a newcomer, but Blue's not around, so I guess I'll just have to stick with you two. Turn around, Blaine."
Blaine turned around, just like Dan did, and Sebastian taped him the same way. When he finished, he didn't throw him on the ground though, he just made a motion for him to sit.
"Now, you try to escape, well good luck with that." Sebastian grinned one last time, and climbed up the ladder. He placed the drain cover on top of the drain, waved at the two boys, placed a lock on it, and walked off.
Blaine looked at Dan, panicked. Dan wished he could say something to him, but he just looked at him, trying to reassure him.
Blaine was scared out if his mind, and though he knew Dan was there, it didn't help that someone might not find them...
"Why don't you believe me Nick?" Blue screamed at him.
Nick turned to Jeff. "Why are you making us go through this?" he asked very calmly.
"Because you won't hear each other out, and this is the only way that I have a chance of making you two listen to each other. But apparently you're still not listening." he stared at his boyfriend for a long moment. "Please Nick, end this, here and now. Just listen to him."
Nick looked at the two boys, "Fine, whatever makes you happy."
"So why don't you believe me, Nick?" Blue asked again.
Nick stared down at his feet, Jeff had come and gotten the two boys out of class, and taken them into one of the abandoned school buildings that was supposedly haunted. They had been in there all afternoon, and hadn't solved anything.
"Answer him Nick" Jeff said softly.
"Just tell me why!" Blue shouted once again. "Tell me why you don't believe that I tried everything I could to make him stop, that I didn't know what Sebastian was doing to him, and that-"
Nick cut him off, " I do believe you!" he shouted back at him.
Blue and Jeff just stared at the boy.
"You do? Then why...?" Blue trailed off, still staring at Nick.
"I needed someone to blame. Other than Sebastian. I needed someone to take my anger out on. I needed to let go of him, and I thought that maybe, if I had someone to blame, it might help." He looked away from the two boys staring at him. "But I was wrong. I still miss him just as much. And I'm really sorry Blue, it was wrong of me to act like that, I'm sorry." He had tears in his eyes, and one finally spilled over.
Blue smiled softly, wiping the tear from Nick's face. "It's okay." he said. He looked at him for another moment, making sure Nick knew he was serious, then Nick pulled him into a tight hug, and started crying. "It's okay Nick, I promise." He whispered.
Jeff stood behind them smiling. Then Nick started sobbing and Jeff started to look worried, and he walked up to him, putting a hand on his back. Blue looked up at Jeff, and Jeff nodded to him. Blue let go of Nick, and moved him to where Jeff was. Jeff wrapped him in his arms, trying to calm him down.
"Jeff," he said, through the sobs, "I miss him so much."
"I know, Nick, I know."
He started to calm down a little bit. And he looked at the two boys. "I'm sorry, you guys, it's just-"
"I understand." Blue said, cutting him off.
Nick looked up at him and nodded.
"We should probably go before they start to get worried." Jeff said.
The two boys just nodded at him. Jeff took Nick's hand in his, and the three of them walked out together.
When they walked into Simul, Trent ran up to them.
"Where have you been?" He asked.
"In one of the old school buildings, working things out, which we did." Blue answered.
"Good, I'm glad. Did Blaine and Dan find you?"
"No, were they supposed to?" Blue asked, confused.
"They've been gone for hours looking for you three."
Blue turned around and ran out of the building. But he stopped when he got a few paces away. He didn't even know where to begin.
Nick, Jeff, and Trent all ran out behind him. They all looked around too, the same thought in their minds. The grounds were empty, and there was no sign of them.
All of a sudden they heard a car start from somewhere. None of them could see a car, but then it drove from behind one of the buildings, and there was Sebastian, driving past them, and grinning at them as he past.
Blue started running in the direction he came from. He had done this once before. He stopped abruptly and turned around.
"Someone go find some lock cutters!"
All the boys looked around at each other.
"Now! Not in five years!" Blue yelled at them.
Nick and Jeff ran back inside and Trent followed after Blue, having no idea where he was going.
They finally reached the drain, and Blue looked down. He saw the two boys, both lying on the ground. "Blaine! Dan!" He shouted, but there was no response from either of them.
Nick and Jeff ran up to him, holding the lock cutters. Blue snatched them out of Jeff's hand, cut the lock, and practically jumped to the bottom of the drain, Trent following behind.
Blue ran straight to Blaine, and Trent to Dan.
"Blaine, sweetie, can you hear me?" Blue looked down at him. He had a gash on the side of his head, and there was a rock with blood all over it sitting next to him. He was still breathing though.
Blue looked over at Dan, and saw that he had the same wound on the side of his face.
Blue ripped the duck tape off of him and pulled him into his arms. "Blaine, please wake up." Blue was crying. Then he heard a small change in his breathing, and Blaine's eyes started to flutter. "Blaine, sweetie, can you hear me?"
"Blue?" He responded softly.
"Yeah Blaine, it's me." Then he looked up to Nick and Jeff. "Call for help!" Then he turned back to Blaine. "You're gonna be okay, I promise."
"Blue, what happened?"
The tears started to fall even faster now. "I don't know sweetie, but we'll find out."
"Blue?"
"I'm right here sweetie, what is it?"
"I love you." Blaine whispered quietly.
Blue smiled, "I love you too Blaine."
He pulled him tighter in his arms. Blaine closed his eyes again, and tried to wrap his arms around Blue's waist.
Blue looked over to Trent, "How is he?"
"He'll be okay, he remembers what happened. How's Blaine?"
"He doesn't remember, but he's still coherent I think."
"Hey guys, Mr. Mike is here, he's coming down."
Blue looked down to Blaine again, "Blaine, can you still hear me?"
"Yeah." He sounded worse than before.
"Alright, well Mr. Mike is here. He's gonna take care of you and Dan."
"No. Please don't leave me."
"I'm right here, I'm not going anywhere. I promise."
"Blue, what the hell happened." Mr. Mike asked, kneeling down beside Blaine. "Does this have something to do with what happened a few months ago?"
Blue just nodded.
"Well, like I said before, I'm not getting involved with it."
Blue nodded again. Mr. Mike had been one of the first ones on the scene when Michael died, and he had been the one to hold Blue back, when they took Michael's body away.
"So, this must be Blaine. Hi Blaine, can you hear me? My name is Mr. Mike."
"I can hear you." he responded. Blue held him tighter.
"How are you feeling?"
"Splendid." Blaine answered, opening his eyes and glaring at the doctor looking over him.
Mr. Mike laughed. "We're gonna get you out of here, do you think you can walk?"
Blaine moved a bit, trying to get up.
"You just have to make it to the top of the ladder. Do you think you can?"
Blaine nodded a bit, trying to get up still.
"Blue, I'm going to go look at Dan, just try to get him to the top, and into the van."
Blue nodded, and helped Blaine to his feet. They got to the bottom of the ladder, and Blue looked up at Jeff. "I'm gonna need your help Jeff."
"What do you need me to do?"
"Just take his hand, and help him up."
Jeff nodded. It wasn't a very long ladder. Until you're trying to pull a person that can barely support their weight up it. They finally got up the ladder, with the help of Jeff. Then Blue, being bigger than Blaine, picked him up and walked him towards the van. Nick opened the door for him and he laid the boy down gently on the seat.
Blue lifted his head so he could sit down, and then laid him back down on his lap. He ran his fingers through Blaine's dark curls, now covered in blood. Then he rested his hand on the side of his face.
"Blaine, can you still hear me?"
"Yeah."
"Can you open your eyes for me?"
His eyes started to flutter again, and he looked up into Blue's eyes.
Blue could see pain in his eyes, and he could also tell that that pain, wasn't just from his head.
"Are you feeling any better?"
"Now that you're here I am."
Blue smiled, "Good. Do you remember anything?"
Blaine looked around thoughtfully for a moment. "He had a knife. And he took us to that drain, and he taped us up. And then he left, but he came back, and, I-I don't remember anything else. I was scared. I thought he was going to kill us. I thought I'd never see you again. And I would never get to tell you how I really feel about you. How much I love you and-"
"Stop. I already know." He leaned down to him and kissed him softly, their lips barely meeting. "I love you, more than anything in this world. And nothing will ever change that."
There were tears streaming down Blaine's face now. Blue leaned down again, and kissed them away.
"I love you too Blue."
They just stared into each others eyes, until the door to the van opened again, and Trent brought Dan in, with Nick and Jeff following behind. Mr. Mike had gone around to the drivers seat.
"Are we all set?"
The boys nodded. "Okay, let's go."
Blaine woke up to an unfamiliar room and a pounding head. He turned his head and saw Blue passed out in a chair beside his bed. He turned his head the other way and saw Dan lying in the bed next to his and Trent, Nick, and Jeff all passed out in chairs too.
There was a soft knock on the door, and Mr. Mike peeked in. Blaine turned to look at him.
"Hi Blaine," he whispered. "How are you feeling?"
"A little better, my head really hurts though."
"Yeah, that's understandable." He looked around at the boys for a moment and then said, "Come outside, so we can talk."
Blaine nodded, and got up slowly, trying not to make his head hurt worse, and trying not to wake anyone. Then he followed Mr. Mike into his office. He sat down in a chair across from his desk and realized for the first time that he was wearing his own pajamas.
"So Blaine, Blue's told me some things about you."
Blaine looked a little nervous by the way he said that.
"It's okay. Just like I tell everyone, the conversations in here don't go beyond these four walls. Okay?"
Blaine nodded a little. "What did he tell you?"
"He said that you're father kicked you out, because you're gay. And Nick told me that he beat you. Are both those true?"
Blaine just stared at him for a moment, and then slowly nodded. "Yeah." he lifted up the sleeve of his shirt to show bruises that went up his arm.
Mr. Mike tried hard not to gasp when he saw them. "What did he hit you with?"
Blaine paused for a moment. "A baseball bat." He stated simply.
He nodded thoughtfully. "So your mom sent you here?"
"Yeah, she had known about me for a while, and told me that she would send me here if my dad ever found out and reacted the way he did."
"Dan told me that Sebastian had said something about your parents killing your brother. Is that true?"
Blaine's eyes started to mist over when he said that, and he couldn't look at him anymore.
Mr. Mike was watching him intently.
Blaine finally decided to answer. "My brother went missing, he was never found, and his case is still open. But I have my theories, just like I have my theories about Stephan."
Mr. Mike could tell that this wasn't a subject to pry on. So he left it alone. "You have some really good friends. Blue tried to stay up until you woke up, but he zonked out a few hours ago. I tried to convince them all to go back home to get some sleep, but they wouldn't go. They really care about you. You're really lucky to have them you know?"
Blaine smiled. "Yeah, I know."
"There you are." Nick said walking into the office. "I didn't know what happened to you."
"I'm right here." Blaine answered.
"Well, I hear you and Blue worked things out yesterday Nick." Mr. Mike said.
Nick smiled, "Yeah, we did."
"Good, I'm glad to hear it."
"Um, I think Dan is waking up guys." Jeff said, walking into the room too.
"Alright, let's go." The three boys followed behind Mr. Mike back to the room.
Dan was awake when they walked in, and Trent was standing beside his bed. Blaine kneeled down on the floor beside the chair that Blue was sitting in.
"Blue? Hun?" He said, rubbing a hand down his arm.
"Blaine?" Blue asked.
"Yeah, it's me."
Blue opened his eyes the rest of the way. "Hey." He said.
"Hi." Blaine responded, laughing a little.
"How are you feeling this morning?"
"Better, a lot better. My head still hurts a little though."
Blue nodded. "How's Dan?"
"I don't know, they're over there talking to him now, he just woke up."
"Oh." Blue laid his head back down of the chair.
Blaine put a hand on his cheek and smiled.
Blue closed his eyes, and placed his hand on top of Blaine's.
"How are you?" Blaine asked.
Blue opened his eyes. "Better than last night."
"What do you mean?"
"I thought I was gonna lose you last night. When I got to the drain, and I saw you lying there, not moving, I was scared. I thought I had lost you. And then I couldn't wake you up. And I thought he had killed someone else that I care about. The whole time I was thinking of ways I could get reven-"
"Stop. You didn't lose me. I'm right here. I'm not going anywhere."
Blue nodded. "Do you remember what you said to me?"
Blaine looked confused for a moment, but then he remembered. He nodded. "I love you." He said softly, once again.
"I love you too." Blue said.
Blaine pulled Blue's face towards his, and kissed him briefly.
Mr. Mike walked over to the two boys. "Well, Dan's doing alright. I'd like to talk to you both for a moment if you don't mind."
"Sure." They both said at the same time. They followed him out of the room back to his office.
"When I say this, it's just a suggestion, I'm not going to force you to do it. Blaine, when people have gone through what you've gone through the past few months of your life, generally they need someone to talk to. I would suggest for you to talk to the counselor here-"
"Um, Mr. Mike, have you met our counselor?" Blue asked.
"Yes, and if you had let me finish, I was going to say, but she's crazy. So I'm recommending you to go to one of the best counselors in the area. It's about an hour drive, but I think it would be worth it if you're interested."
"Yeah, I actually would be really interested in that."
"Alright, well you can go together or you can go by yourself. Which ever you prefer. She's already expecting my call, I've already told her about you, so we just need to pick out a time."
"Well, whenever, where is she though? And what's her name?"
"Her name is Emma Pillsbury, and she works at Mckinley High School in Lima."
A few hours later Blaine and Blue were both walking back to Simul. Mr. Mike had given Blaine medicine to take for his head and if it started hurting really bad, he was to go back.
The next morning, Jeff was going to drive Blaine to Lima to go see the counselor. Jeff's brother lived in Lima, and he was going to go see him, and then come get Blaine and drive back to Dalton.
"I'm telling you, you can come if you want to." Blaine said.
"And I'm telling you this is something you need to do by yourself." Blue responded.
"Alright. Fine."
Blue looked at him and gave him a reassuring smile. "It'll be okay, I promise."
Blaine smiled back at him.
They reached Simul, and Blue pulled Blaine into his room before anyone could stop and talk to them.
The second Blue's door closed, he pulled Blaine into a tight hug. It caught Blaine a little off guard, and he laughed and hugged him back.
Blue pulled back a little and leaned toward the other boy, and kissed him. He kissed him gently, but it was full of passion, and longing.
Blaine finally pulled away, and just wrapped his arms around Blue tightly.
"Blaine?" Blue asked
"Mmm?"
"I love you."
Blaine pulled out of the hug, and kissed Blue once again. Softer this time.
"I know." Blaine said against Blue's lips. "I love you too."
They held each other for a few more seconds until Blaine cringed and almost fell over.
Blue caught him, and walked him over to the bed, and sat him down. "Are you alright?" He asked, looking at the boy, concerned. His fists were clenched, and his eyes were closed. He was putting all his weight on Blue, trying not to fall over.
"My head, it's pounding again."
Blue placed a hand on Blaine's back, rubbing circles on it. "Shh, just calm down. Do you want me to go get Mr. Mike?"
Blaine just sat there for a moment, and slowly he unclenched his fists, though he still didn't open his eyes. "No, it's alright, just get me some water."
Blue kissed his head before getting up and walking to the kitchen to get a bottle of water.
The second Blue got up, Blaine collapsed onto the bed, holding the sides of his head.
Blue walked back over to him and gently helped him up. "Here." He handed him the glass of water.
Blaine pulled the bottle of pills out of his pocket, and took two of them. He took a deep breath and relaxed.
Blue wrapped his arms around him, holding him close. He had relaxed a little when Blaine did, but not completely. He hated seeing Blaine in this kind of pain.
"Do you want to go up to your room?" Blue asked.
Blaine leaned into Blue a little more, and shook his head. "I don't wanna leave you." He whispered quietly. "Can I stay here?"
"Of course you can sweetie." Blue responded. He pulled him all the way onto the bed and helped him lay down gently on the pillows. Blue laid down beside him and Blaine curled up against him. Blue wrapped his arms around him and tried to help him relax a little more.
Blaine laid there, curled up against Blue, until he finally drifted off to sleep.
"Blaine?"
He could hear his name being called, but he wanted to ignore it. To just sleep a little longer.
Then a hand gently wrapped around his, and then brushed the curls off his face.
"Blaine?" The voice whispered again. "Are you awake?"
"No." Blaine finally responded.
He heard a giggle and he opened his eyes to find Blue staring at him.
"Good morning." Blue said.
This surprised Blaine. "Morning? It's morning?"
Blue seemed amused by this too. "Yeah, you've been asleep for quite some time now."
Blaine groaned and rolled over.
"Come on Blaine, it's time to get up. You and Jeff are leaving in an hour."
Blaine finally sat up, and realized that he was still in Blue's room.
"I guess I better go get ready." Blaine said.
"Yeah, you probly should. I'll see you later. I may not be here when you get home. I have Warblers practice." Blue said.
"Alright, well I'll see you when you get back."
Blue nodded and walked up to him and kissed him softly. Blaine kissed him back, before pulling away and walking out of the room.
An hour later, Blaine was walking downstairs to find Jeff, who was waiting for him in the living room.
"You ready?" He asked, as Blaine walked down the stairs.
"Yeah."
"Then let's hit the road."
Blaine nodded and followed him outside and to his car in the parking lot. He had a dark blue Mustang with a "Dalton Academy Warblers" sticker on the back of it.
"I like it." Blaine stated simply.
"Really?"
"Totally."
Jeff laughed. "Well get in."
They both got in and Jeff started the car. This was the first time he left Dalton since he first got here.
They had been driving for half and hour, when Jeff looked over at Blaine. He was staring out the window and had been for quite some time.
"You okay Blaine?" Jeff asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine."
Jeff looked over at him, not completely convinced. "You sure?"
This time Blaine didn't respond. He just kept staring out the window. He finally decided to say, "Honestly, I just don't know."
"Do you want to talk about it?" Jeff asked.
Blaine just shook his head.
"That's okay, you don't have to."
They drove the rest of the way in silence, it wasn't awkward though, it was rather comfortable.
"Hey, I'm gonna stop up here and get some coffee. You want some?" Jeff asked right after they crossed the Lima city limit.
"Sure."
Five minutes later Jeff pulled into a small shop called The Lima Bean.
"How creative." Blaine said.
Jeff just laughed.
When they walked inside there weren't many people, they passed three high school students walking out. One was a short heavy set black girl, another a beautiful skinny dark haired girl, and a tall blonde haired boy, who smiled at Blaine as he passed. Real people, he was so happy to be around people outside of Dalton. Not that he didn't like it there, he just needed to get out every once in a while.
They ordered their coffee, and went back to the car.
"This is some really good coffee." Blaine said.
"I know, it's the best." Jeff answered.
They finally reached Mckinley High, and it wasn't anything like what Blaine had been expecting. He assumed that all public schools were crappy and gross, but he was wrong, this one was anything but that.
"Do you want me to walk with you?" Jeff asked.
"Please?"
"Yeah, come on."
When they got out of the car, Blaine saw a bunch of guys in letterman jackets throwing the same blonde boy that smiled at him in the coffee shop, into a dumpster.
Jeff had seen the same thing, and immediately ran up to the boy about to throw him.
"Puck! Hey! What the hell are you doing."
One of the boys, Puck, immediately turned around and smiled when he saw Jeff walking towards him.
"Hey man! What's up?" He asked.
"Whats up is you putting that poor boy down."
"Oh geez Jeff, just ruin our fun then. Put him down boys."
The guys holding him immediately put him down. The boy brushed himself off, and mouthed 'thank you' to Jeff. And then he saw Blaine. He smiled, just like he had in the coffee shop, and then ran off towards the school.
"What are you doing here anyway?" Puck asked Jeff.
"Just taking Blaine here to Ms. Emma's office."
"Fun, is your counselor still crazy?"
"Yep, always will be. I gotta go, it was good to see you though. No more throwing people in dumpsters."
"No promises. Later man."
"Bye." And Jeff walked back to where Blaine was standing.
"What was all that?" Blaine asked.
"Oh, Puck? He cleans my parents pool, so we hang out a lot, or used to."
Blaine nodded. "We should go."
Jeff nodded an started walking towards the school, with Blaine by his side.
When they reached the front desk Jeff said, "We're here to see Ms. Pillsbury. Well, he is, I'm just showing him where to go."
"You must be the Dalton boys. She's expecting you. Here's your pass." The lady said, handing them both slips of paper. "You know where you're going?"
"Yes ma'am. Thank you."
Blaine just followed behind silently, taking in the atmosphere. Then they reached a glass door that said 'Emma Pillsbury' on it.
Jeff knocked on the door.
"Come in."
The two boys walked in to a small office with two chairs in front of a desk and a couch up against the wall. The desk was decorated with pictures. Some of her and a tall man, and others of a group of kids that looked to be taken in a choir room.
"Jeff. I wasn't expecting you, what a nice surprise. He told me Blue was coming." Said Ms. Emma, walking to Jeff and giving him a hug. "Are you going to see John?"
"Yes ma'am. Just dropping off Blaine first." Jeff said smiling. Then he turned to him. "Call or text me when you're about done, and I'll come get you, okay?"
Blaine nodded, and watched as Jeff walked out of the room.
"Hi Blaine, I'm Ms. Pillsbury, but since you don't go to school here I honestly don't care if you call me Emma." She said smiling.
Blaine smiled at her. He was a very shy person, and he didn't feel very comfortable here.
She could tell that he was shy too. "Have a seat." She gestured to the couch. He sat and she sat down beside him.
"So, I hear you've had a rough few months. Is there anything in particular that's been bothering you?" She asked.
He thought for a second, and she watched him intently. "It hasn't been months." He finally decided to say.
"Excuse me?"
"It hasn't been months." He said again. It's been two years. Ever since Cooper disappeared."
"Well why don't you start there."
"Well my dad came home one night, and he was angry, no far beyond angry. He would usually stop by the living room to come see me, but he didn't that night, that was when I knew something was wrong. I heard him stomp up the stairs and slam a door. My mom came into the living room and stood beside me. We could hear the yelling. And then something crashed. And they both came down the stairs and my dad was holding a baseball bat. They both walked outside. They were gone for hours. My dad finally came home, but Coop wasn't with him, I never saw him again." He was almost crying now.
"Its okay Blaine, you don't have to keep going." She said, handing him a box of tissues.
She let him calm down before asking, "What was your school like?"
"Worse than my home life."
"How so?"
"I was punched on a daily basis, shoved into lockers, called a fag and queer. On our formal night I was almost beaten to death, just because I came."
"Did you have any friends?"
"Yeah, one, his name was Stephan. The same thing happened to him that happened to Coop. He mysteriously disappeared and his case still remains open. I know they're both dead though."
"And how do you know that?"
"It's just a feeling that I have. I think his dad killed him, and my dad killed Coop. And he would have killed me too."
"Why didn't he?"
"Our parents got these anonymous letters, telling them we were gay, and one day about a month ago, my dad got one about me. He chased me out of the house with the same baseball bat he chased Coop out with. But I was too fast for him and I hid in the woods, until I heard my mom calling me. She had packed up my things and put them in a van. She said that she called Dalton Academy in Ohio, and that I was to go there. So she out me on a plane, and now, here I am."
"Why didn't she have a problem with it?" Emma asked.
"I had told her a few months before. She had actually asked me if I was, and I told her yes. She told me what she would do if he ever found out, and she stood by her word."
"Did you have anything that you liked to do outside of school?"
Blaine's face lit up at this. "Oh, yes, I loved to-"
A knock on the door interrupted him.
Emma rolled her eyes, "Yes? Come in."
The tall blonde boy Blaine had seen earlier walked in. "Oh, hello Kurt, what can I do for you?"
"Sorry to interrupt." He said, looking at Blaine. "Mr. Shue wanted me to ask you to come to the choir room whenever you're finished here, he wants help with this weeks lesson."
"Do you know why he didn't call me?" She asked calmly.
"He said that you told him you wouldn't answer your phone if he called you."
"So he sends a student? Great. Thank you Kurt." She said smiling at him.
He smiled back, and then smiled at Blaine before leaving.
"Now, back to what you were saying." Emma said.
"Before I finish, are you aware that he, Kurt right, gets throw in the dumpster outside?" Blaine asked.
"I was aware that he gets bullied, but not that he's been thrown in a dumpster. This happened today?" Se asked.
"Yeah, well Jeff stopped but it was when me and Jeff got here."
"Thank you for telling me that. Now, back to what you were saying."
"Oh, I loved theatre. I loved taking acting and singing classes. And I play guitar and piano."
"Well that's so awesome. My boyfriend is the Glee Club teacher here."
"Neat. Have they gone to sectionals?"
The conversations went on like this for another hour, and before Blaine knew it, it was after one o'clock and Jeff was there, the last thing he heard before they left was, "Hey Will, can you send Kurt down here, I need to talk to him." Blaine couldn't help but smile.
Jeff took him to get lunch at this place called Breadsticks. Apparently it was the only restaurant in town.
When they got back to Dalton, Blaine headed straight up to his room to lay down. He was starting to get another headache, and he was tired, so tired he didn't know he had fallen asleep.
All of a sudden he felt gentle lips pressing against his. He sighed and kissed them back.
"Hi there." Blue said.
"Hi." Blaine replied, still not opening his eyes.
"How was your day?"
"Good, I feel a lot better. And thirty seconds ago I was feeling amazing."
Blue laughed and pressed his lips to Blaine's again.
"Better?" Blue asked.
"Much." Blaine said, opening his eyes and smiling. He scooted over, making room for Blue to lie next to him. "How was your day?"
"Pretty good, it would have been better had you not been so far away, but it was okay. Mr. Mike told me that Emma said that you used to sing."
Blaine laughed. "Yeah, I did."
"You should join the Warblers. Please?"
"Is that a good idea?"
"Yes! Just come with me tomorrow and sing."
"Alright, I will if it will make you happy."
"It will." Blue said smiling.
"Then I will."
"Yay!" Blue was ecstatic.
"But, do something for me." Blaine said.
"Alright, what do you want." Blue asked sarcastically.
"Come here." Blaine said, pulling him closer.
Blaine pulled him right up to his face, and stared at him for a moment, before Blue closed the distance between them, and kissed him gently.
