I apologize again. Hopefully that will not happen again.

Blaine awoke abruptly to the sound of an air horn, he shot up quickly. Seconds later he was greeted with a dark blur as someone pounced on him.
"Come on Blainey Bear, its breakfast time! Wake up! WAKE UP!" David shouted.
"Must you be so loud David?" Blaine groaned.
"David, be careful with his head. You do not want to give our lead Warbler a concussion before the competition," Wes scolded playfully.
"I swear, you are like a child at Christmas, David. You know breakfast will still be there no matter how long it takes me for me to wake up," Blaine added. "What time is it anyway?"
"It's 6:30, Blaine. I swear, you must be the laziest person at Dalton," David teased. "Now come on, it's breakfast time!"
Blaine groaned and got up from the bed, rubbing his eyes and dragging his feet. He hated the ritual that David and Wes had started of getting him out of bed before his alarm. He wondered where those two got their energy from so early in the morning. Blaine changed quickly and grabbed his phone, checking to see if he had any messages. He frowned, noticing that Kurt had never returned his text from last night. He was starting to grow more concerned. Even though Kurt had apologized to him, he still seemed upset as he left the coffee shop. And Kurt had left before Blaine could apologize. Maybe Blaine had hurt him more than he thought.
He had ignored Kurt's feelings when Kurt had told him that he thought Blaine was going to serenade to him.
He had further ignored Kurt's feelings when he had kissed Kurt's friend in front of him, then told him that he had wanted to date said friend, claiming he might be bisexual.
He said nasty things during the argument that day, and compared Kurt to that monster that had driven him out of his school.
Or maybe Blaine was just overreacting. It had only been one night of Kurt not returning his texts. Blaine hoped that today he could at least talk to Kurt, maybe talk to him at practice. As he was walking to class, he spotted Kurt. "Kurt!" He called out trying to chase after him through the sea of blazers. Kurt did not seem to bat an eye and kept moving, finally getting lost again in the sea of blazers. Blaine sighed and decided to go to his next class. He would try to corner him at the Warbler's practice.
Blaine made sure to get to Warbler's practice early. Sure enough, Kurt was already there, sitting towards the back, head down as if he was trying to not draw attention to himself. Blaine walked over, knowing now was a good time for him and Kurt to talk.
"Hey are you okay? I called you in the hall earlier and you didn't respond. I thought things were okay after the coffee shop. Also did you get my text? You didn't text me back," Blaine said. He winced slightly, maybe he should have thought this through before he talked to Kurt.
"Yeah, sorry I have just been busy. You know, studying and all," Kurt answered with a small voice. Blaine scoffed in disbelief. He knew Dalton could be demanding, but he never knew it to be that demanding.
"You sure? I thought the test was pushed back till next week?" Blaine asked.
"Yes, but that doesn't mean I still don't have other things to do," Kurt said coldly. Blaine winced at the cold tone. The gavel sounded seconds later much to Blaine's disapproval. He shot Wes a dirty look and sat down next to Kurt.
"Today we will be singing Pink's classic song, 'Please don't leave me.' We will have Blaine singing the lead with us doing background vocals," Wes spoke. Blaine rolled his eyes. He was not practically fond of that song, but the council had spoken. "On that same note, we would like to say we have a sex addict in our midst. Somebody had sex in the Warbler's room yesterday. According to the janitor they left a nice puddle of their lovemaking for him to cleanup." Blaine shook his head. Although he didn't think having sex in the Warbler's room was a big deal, he knew Wes would not stand for it.
He heard someone gasp. Blaine looked over and saw Kurt gripping the chair tightly. Blaine frowned.
"We would like to find out who this is, for this kind of depravity will not be tolerated." Wes continued. "If you have any information on this, please tell us." The other Warblers started looking at each other and murmuring as Blaine kept peaking glances at Kurt through the corner of his eye. His eyes had grown huge and he seemed to have difficulty catching his breath.
"On another note, we are pleased to announce that Vocal Adrenaline lost their sectionals and thus are out of the competition. Since they were the top of their game last year, we are glad they are out now," Thad stated proudly.
"Their performance was dreadful, I must say. I was embarrassed for them," David added.
Blaine did not hear the rest of the conversation. He heard a vibration and looked over again to see Kurt staring at his phone, his eyes now the size of saucers, he was hyperventilating and shaking. The next thing he knew, Blaine saw Kurt falling over towards the floor from his chair. Blaine was glad in that moment that he had good reflexes, leaned over and grabbed Kurt, and pulled him up. Blaine looked into Kurt's eyes and saw that he was unconscious.
"Someone help!" Blaine cried out. Jeff, who was nearest to the two, came over and help Blaine move Kurt to the floor. The other Warblers began murmuring and crowding around.
"Order, Order," Wes demanded. David was pushing past the circle of Warblers to where Blaine was. When he saw Kurt on the ground, his face filled with worry and he yelled out, "Someone get help!"
"What happened?" Jeff hissed.
"I don't know," said Blaine, "He was looking at his phone or something and starting breathing heavily and next thing I know he's falling to the ground."
"Probably he had an anxiety attack or a panic attack. We won't know for sure until the nurse gets here. For now let's elevate his legs. Someone grab me a pillow or something," Jeff demanded.
"You think we should call 911 instead?" Another Warbler suggested.
Blaine bit his lip, asking himself the same question. Minutes later, though, Kurt stirred. He opened his eyes and looked like a deer caught in the headlights. His cheeks flushed.
"Kurt, are you alright?" Blaine asked. Of course that was a stupid question, he was obviously not okay.
"Yeah, I am fine. Sorry I just had a fever yesterday and I guess it did not go away," Kurt stated in a small voice. "Really guys I am fine." He started to sit up.
"Sit up slowly so you don't faint again. And no you are not fine, you should see the nurse at least," Jeff insisted. Despite Kurt's protests that he was fine and that he didn't need to see a nurse, and apologized profusely for disrupting the meeting, he finally agreed to at least see the nurse.
"I'll go with him," Blaine offered.
"No, Blaine you stay here, we need to work on your solo. Jeff can take him. Is that alright Jeff?" Wes asked. Jeff nodded, giving Blaine an apologetic look as Blaine threw Wes and Jeff dirty looks. Jeff helped Kurt up slowly and had Kurt put an arm around him for support and walked out.
"Don't be jealous Blaine, Jeff is not on Team Gay," David said in a soothing voice.
"I'm not jealous," Blaine stated haughtily.
"Judging by the look you just gave Jeff, I would call bullshit. You are a liar," David said. "At any rate, I hope Kurt is okay."
After practice, Blaine decided to give Kurt a visit. As he was heading toward the nurse's office he ran into Jeff. Jeff stopped him. "Hey if you are going to the nurse's office to see Kurt, don't bother. He already was sent home. Nurse gave him so crackers and sent him home. She also threatened him that he was not to return to school tomorrow and if he did, she would call his father."
"Thanks Jeff," Blaine said disappointed. Although he was glad that Kurt got sent home, it was clear that something was still bugging Kurt.
"Anytime bro. Hey listen, I gotta run. If you talk to Kurt, give him my best okay?" Jeff said. Blaine nodded as both boys went their separate ways.
On the way back to the dorm, Blaine decided to send a message to Kurt. "Hey, hope you are okay. Jeff sends his best. I will see you the day after next. :) Please let me know if you need anything." Blaine sighed as he entered his room. He flopped on the bed. He stomach did a flip as his phone chimed. He looked at the ID and opened it seeing it was from Kurt. He frowned at the coldness of the message. "Will do, thanks."
He put his phone on the nightstand. Something was definitely not right.
A few more days passed and things seemed to get getting back to normal, at least as normal as they could be. Kurt did not go to the school the day after his fainting spell, but when he returned he seemed colder than ever. He also walked the halls with his head down, as if he did not want to catch anyone's eyes. Whenever Blaine was able to look into his eyes, they had a glazed look about him, and he never smiled. He ignored Blaine in the halls, and when he respond to Blaine's texts, he would respond with one word answers. In class, Kurt did not seem to be paying attention; he had started to space out, as if he was disinterested. After Warbler's practice, he also did not waste time in rushing out the doors, as if he did not want to talk to anyone. Blaine wished he saw what had freaked out Kurt on his phone.
As Blaine started to head back to his dorm after class, he started to wonder what could have caused the change in Kurt. The Kurt he knew was sarcastic, witty, funny and vibrant. Now he was just a shadow of what he was. Blaine was so lost in thought he almost missed his phone vibrating in his pocket.
He took out the phone and looked at the ID, it read Mercedes. Blaine felt a pit grow in his stomach, but decided to answer anyway.
"Hello, Blaine speaking." Blaine said calmly.
"I know who you are white boy. Now tell me what the hell is going on with Kurt?" Mercedes demanded.
"What, what do you mean?" Blaine asked nervously. He was afraid of where this conversation was going, even though it needed to happen.
"I am about two seconds away from cutting you. You go to school with Kurt; you should have noticed at least something was wrong. The boy I saw yesterday was far from the Kurt that I know. Now tell me what the hell is going on in your school that has changed that boy so much?" Mercedes asked in her sassy diva voice.
"I don't know Mercedes. I wish I could tell you. But I honestly don't know. But I promise you I will figure it out." Blaine answered honestly.
"Boy, you better get your head out of your ass real quick, because I am about to come up there and beat your sorry ass into shape. First the Gap Attack, then Rachel and now this. Boy what the hell is wrong with you? Kurt needs you and you throw him to the wolves…" Mercedes tone started to get more lethal.
"But…" Blaine starting to say but he was cut off.
" No buts. You better get your act together fast. I know something else happened that made Kurt change, I am not dumb. And it's your job to look out for him." Mercedes scoffed. "Stop making excuses and do it." And with that she hung up.
Blaine sighed again, he knew Mercedes was right. He had to figure out what had happened to Kurt, no matter what.
During the next rehearsal, Blaine was shocked when Kurt raised his hand.
"Yes, Kurt you have the floor now," Wes boomed.
"I have an announcement, due to my increasing school work, I will be unable to continue to be part of the Warbler's," Kurt voice cracked. His voice seemed broken, distant. Blaine was shocked, whispers broke out among the other Warblers.
"Kurt, we know that you had issues fitting in. I know I not only speak for myself when I say that you have definitely become part of the Warbler family. As much as we would like you to stay, we respect your decision." Thad spoke gently.
"Thank you," Kurt whispered, his eyes watering. He got up started to leave.
"Kurt," Blaine called, but Kurt once again did not acknowledge him and left without looking back.
Jeff chuckled from behind."It seems like someone does not want to be around you. What did you do?"
"Nothing, I am trying to figure out what's going on. But every time I try to get close he pushes me away," Blaine said.
"You know, you did break his heart," Jeff suggested. " I mean you should have seen his face during the Gap Attack, I don't think I have ever seen him look that devastated. Well minus now. I mean it was very obvious he liked you a lot Blaine, I am shocked you did not catch one sooner. You are either oblivious or just plain dumb. It's obvious that you like him Blaine. I've seen how you look at him, I have never seen you look at a guy like that. And now that he is not paying attention to you, you are like a lost puppy. You know if you don't find a way to catch up to the Kurt Express, it will leave without you. Someone else will swoop in and want to date Kurt. I mean If I was gay, I would totally ask Kurt out, he is a really cool guy."
"Yeah, he is," Blaine agreed, only half listening. He could not help but feel a little jealous at Jeff's words.
As the rest of the meeting continued, Blaine could not help but feel that it felt strange not having Kurt there. It almost felt as if a huge chunk was missing. After an hour of trying to harmonize, along with Wes's antics of scrabbling around between different members, yelling at them and grabbing his hair for the flatness or sharpness of the keys, everyone gave up and practice was over.
Blaine headed back to his dorm and passed out. Hours later he awoke to his phone vibrating again. Bleary eyed, he grabbed his phone and picked up.
"Blaine, this is Finn, please tell me that Kurt is with you." Finn's voice sounded desperate.
"No, he's not. He left during rehearsal, why?" Blaine got up, filling that pit grow again in his stomach.
"Kurt's missing."
Author's Notes: DUN DUN DUN! Sorry I just had to do that, at least once.
