David deemed himself lucky. He had a loving home, wonderful friends, and was getting a great education at Dalton Academy.
Three years ago when he first met Blaine, Blaine was quiet and cautious. He barely spoke to anyone his first few months at school. Wes though Blaine might be a snob, that was until David pointed out the bruising on Blaine's arms while he was giving the tour of the school. So Wes and David tried harder to make Blaine feel at home. They encouraged him to join extracurricular activities such as the sports, chess, debate, etc.
When they found out that Blaine could sing, that made him try out for the Warblers. Blaine began to open up and blend in. Eventually, through the encouragement of the board at the time, Blaine tried out for solos, eventually getting the part of the lead.
When Kurt came into the picture, David noticed Blaine's change. He would sit there and wait for Kurt's texts like a lost puppy. He was a lot more talkative than usual. He would skip his last class to go see Kurt. Blaine's world seemed to revolve around Kurt. For the first time, David saw a side of Blaine he had never seen. And he was sure it was the real Blaine. David loved Dalton, but hated what Dalton did to people. It took away their individuality.
David was sure that Blaine was falling for Kurt. Yet David didn't know what to make of Kurt. Kurt had come to spy on them. Kurt seemed like he was a good kid, a little loud and determined to speak his mind, but a good kid nonetheless.
When David found out that Kurt was transferring caused by some disagreements at his old school, everyone was sure that Blaine would ask him out. He and Wes had made a bet on how long it would take for that idiot to realize his feelings and ask Kurt out. But he didn't.
David was shocked when Blaine had announced that he was in love with some dude at the Gap. David had to admit, he didn't care much for mop-head. He knew they had gone out for coffee a few times, but David would not call that love, just a crush. He was relieved that mop-head had rejected Blaine. Even laughed when he found out that he was way older than Blaine. Oh Blaine you really are hopeless.
Not only did Wes owe him twenty dollars, but he was hoping that Blaine would finally see Kurt. He had hated seeing that hurt look on Kurt's face when they did their "When I Get you Alone" number. Blaine hadn't seen it. David and the other Warblers had.
David came out of class one day and found Kurt crying in the bathroom. David had to admit, over time he had grown a soft spot for Kurt. Even though Thad didn't care much for Kurt's outspoken behavior during the meetings, and Wes seemed indifferent, David had taken the time to get to know Kurt. Sometimes he would talk to Kurt in-between class or after the meeting. He had come to realize that Kurt was actually a really cool person.
In the bathroom, Kurt told David bout Blaine's bisexual adventure, he was aghast. Not for the fact that Blaine had deemed himself now a bisexual. He knew Blaine wanted to be normal coming from a family that could be difficult at times. Especially his father. But, he was appalled at the fact that Blaine had decided to run his little experiment with one of Kurt's close friends. Sure it started with a drunken kiss, which David knows when people are drunk, things happen. That's why it's important to be responsible. Then again David would pay big money to see Blaine's happy drunk ass. David knew that it had led to a fight between Blaine and Kurt, but he didn't know the specifics. He just knew that it resulted in Blaine and Kurt not speaking to each other. Blaine and Kurt did not speak to others much on the matter.
Then Kurt had his fainting spell during the meeting and started acting differently. Afterward, Blaine admitted that Kurt had apologized to him, but that Blaine did not return the apology. He got smacked by both Wes and David on the back of the head. And Kurt, well, Kurt after the fainting spell, he acted differently. He barely spoke at all, he only looked at his feet during the meeting. His eyes seemed distant, as if he was not all there. He jumped when someone spoke too loudly or touched him. He did not pay attention in class. He began to blend in. He had become essentially what Blaine was when he arrived, only worse.
Kurt announcing that was he was quitting the Warblers did not come across as too much of a shock for David. He knew that it had grown too painful for Kurt.
And like that he was gone. Now missing. It was amazing the impact of Kurt's absence had on the Warblers. The group did not seem as together as they were before. It was evident that Kurt's voice and attitude had slowly brought a change to the group.
It angered all of them that it took the police so long to look for Kurt.
On the weekends, David would join Blaine and go looking for Kurt, along with the Warblers. A month had passed and everyday more and more hope was lost. David could tell this was affecting Blaine the hardest. He hardly ate, hardly spoke and carried big circles around his eyes. Wes had found him crying several times in the bathroom. His roommate stated that every night he cried himself to sleep.
Somehow though, Blaine starting confiding in them more than before. He admitted that since Kurt's disappearance, he felt a big, huge gaping hole in his life. He seemed as if he had finally realized his feelings for Kurt.
It was sad that he realized it when it was too late.
Blaine also confided in Wes and David about Kurt's bully, who, had been put on the person of interest list. Both were appalled that Kurt had to deal with that. David's admiration for Kurt grew, knowing that he had been strong through the horrific experience of bullying. It angered Wes and David when the police deemed the bully no longer a person of interested. From what Blaine had told them, he was first on their list of people who would harm Kurt.
But Dalton was suppose to be safe. Kurt was supposed to be safe here.
Another month passed with no new news. One of the weekends of the search, David finally got to meet Hummel Senior. He was pale with bloodshot eyes. He looked lost. He wished had met him before all of this, because from how Kurt described his dad, Mr. Hummel was an amazing human being. But now, he was like a ghost. First his wife, and now his son. It was enough to kill a man.
It was any normal spring day. Everyone was in the study hall studying for midterms. Blaine's phone vibrated. He pulled it out and looked at it, a wave of hope gleamed in his face. He ran out into the hall to answer, Wes and David followed behind.
When they got outside, they found Blaine crying leaned up against the wall.
"What's wrong dude?" David was felt a pit in his stomach. He could not tell if Blaine's crying was happy or of devastation. He wasn't sure if he wanted the answer.
"They found Kurt."
