The security guards after controlling Blaine's father escorted him away from the hospital and to the police station. Both Blaine and his mother were still very shaken up. He still couldn't believe that Kurt had punched his father and had actually beaten him. He should be happy. He should be relieved, but it only made him feel weak and defeated. Kurt was the strong one. He was the one who held out while they were in a long distance relationship and he was the one who beat his father. In his mind, he was the one who couldn't wait long enough and ruined their relationship and he was the one who could never stand up for himself or his mother against his father. Sam, Tina, and Sue had gone home. They decided that it would be best for Blaine if he had some alone time with the exception of Kurt and his mom. Blaine was still shaking a little bit, but you could tell from the monitors that his heart rate and pulse were definitely down.
"Blaine, honey. It's okay. He's gone" His mom said as he grabbed his hand. Blaine nodded his head. It was silent until they heard a knock at the door. The police had finally showed up.
'Mrs. Anderson, and Blaine, we'd like to ask you a few questions?" they said. They both nodded and the officers walked into the hospital room. "Sir, I think it would be best if you left the room for the time being." The officers said to Kurt. Kurt began to get up, but Blaine's mother stopped him.
"No, he can stay. He's the one who just saved both of us from another one of my husband's rages." She said. The officers nodded and Kurt sat back down.
"Well, then. Mrs. Anderson and Blaine we need to know if you want to press charges against the Nick Anderson." They asked.
"Yes, I want that bastard in jail." His mother replied.
"Mom, we don't have the money. Dad has the best lawyer's money can buy. We don't stand a chance. They'll get us on a technicality and then he won't go to jail." Blaine said.
"Honey, he put you in the hospital and made you have surgery because he hit you." His mother said. "I am done with him. I am done being raped and abused. I am divorcing him and getting complete custody over you. He will never hurt or touch you again." Then she turned to the officers. "I want him in jail."
"Yes ma'am. We'll need to question you now." They replied. The officers asked questions pertaining to previous acts of abuse, the current act that had put Blaine in the hospital and all of the times that his mother had been raped. There were a lot of tears shed, but they got through it. Afterwards Blaine's mom went to get them all some coffee, so it was just Blaine and Kurt. Kurt could tell something was still off with Blaine. He wasn't looking at him and he wasn't talking.
"Are you alright?" Kurt asked.
"I'm fine." Blaine said back without looking at them.
"Are you sure because you don't seem okay? Was it something I did?" Kurt asked.
"It's nothing. I'm fine." Blaine repeated, but Kurt could tell by his voice that it wasn't.
"It was something I did. Just say it Blaine." Kurt replied.
"Fine, you make me feel weak! Okay?" Blaine said in a loud voice.
"What are you taking about?" Kurt said with a confused look on his face.
"You're the strong one. You weren't the one who couldn't keep it in his pants and broke us up. You also punched my dad like it was no big deal. I have been abused by that man for years. I wanted to kill him many times, but I didn't have the guts to. Oh and let's not forget how I ran away from middle school to the warblers. I'm weak and we both know it." Blaine yelled.
"Okay stop, just stop! You need to stop feeling sorry for yourself. I understand what you've been through, but you need to stop. You may have been the one who cheated, but I was at fault too. I didn't pay attention to you and didn't put you as a priority. I ignored you and put a job before you. I am still pissed at you, but I understand you had your reasons. I also was able to punch your father because I wasn't afraid of him. I was pissed at him because he hurt you. I was in a rage. That makes me no better than him. I am not the strong one on this situation." Kurt said "We all have strong and weak moments. No one is invincible." Blaine nodded as a year came to his eye.
"I can't do this by myself. I can't testify at that hearing." Blaine stammered.
"You have to because justice has to be served. And you won't be alone. I'll be with you every step of the way. You'll never be alone. You have so many people who care about you Blaine." Kurt replied.
"You promise?" Blaine said.
"I promise." Kurt replied. Weeks past and the date of the trial kept creeping up. Everyone was one edge, especially Blaine. He began having nightmares about his father. He would scream and toss and turn in his sleep, until his mom would have to come in and wake him up.
"Blaine, honey, wake up, please wake up." His mother screamed. Blaine shot up in bed sweaty and breathing heavy. "It's okay. He's not here. It's just you and me. We're safe." She soothed.
"He was in his prison uniform, but there was blood all over it. It was my blood. He was standing over my body laughing and you were in the corner dead." Blaine cried. His mother sighed and pulled him in close. She stroked his hair and comforted him until his sobs stopped. "We'll get through this. The trial is tomorrow and we're going to put him in jail for what he did to us." She said. "Come on, let's go downstairs and watch TV. Neither of us are going to go back to sleep tonight." They went downstairs and found a movie to watch. Then his mom grabbed a huge blanket and covered them both. They watched it for a while until the sun finally came up.
"We have to get ready." His mom said. They got up from the couch and went upstairs. Blaine pulled on a nice suit and tried to look professional. They left around ten and then by eleven the trial was beginning. The judge came out and the examining began. They brought up witness after witness. Blaine's mother gave a good testimony and Sue was called up to recall the events of the day when he passed out. Countless hours went by and it was finally Blaine's turns. He gulped and got up on the stand.
"Hey Blaine" their attorney said nicely. He mumbled a quick hello and then went silent.
"Blaine, has your father ever abused you?" he asked.
"Yes, he has." Blaine replied.
"When would you say is the first time that he abused you?" the attorney asked.
"When I was six." Blaine said.
"And how has he abused you?" the attorney continued.
"I have been hit, kick, slapped, and punched. I have had things burned into my arms and scratches carved with a knife into my skin and glasses broken over my head. I have been called horrible names and countless slurs have been thrown my way. I have been physically, mentally, and emotionally abused by this man." Blaine said most of his words getting caught in his throat.
"It's okay Blaine. You can step down now, unless the defense wants to cross witness you." Their attorney said. He looked over to his father's lawyer and he shook his head. Blaine stepped off the bench and went and sat down next to Kurt. He gripped his hand and squeezed it tight. A few more witnesses talked and then finally the jury left to make their decision. When they came back Blaine felt his heart beat pick up. The judge told them all to stand.
"Members of the jury, what is your verdict?" the judge asked.
'We find Nicholas Anderson guilty of child abuse, rape, and domestic violence charges." A member of the jury replied.
"With that said, Nicholas Anderson will be taken in custody and will serve thirty years in jail." The judge replied and then banged his gavel. The security guards hand-cuffed his father and took him back stage. Blaine turned and hugged Kurt. Then he turned to his mom.
"We're finally safe." He said.
"We're finally safe." She repeated back. It was finally over. He was never going to have to be abused or hear his mother screamed in pain. It was really over. The bruises were finally uncovered and although they would remain engraved in his body, at least no new scars would ever form.
