I've always wanted to do a hg!klaine au for a long time. so yea, broskis, please check it out and tell me what you think.

They were all targets. All of the guys who were like Blaine, who had finally found a place where there was safety instead of fear; happiness instead of depression. Where they could finally be themselves without anyone trying to ruin that.

Blaine wasn't ready to die. He had to get out of Dalton now or else it'll be too late.

"What the hell do we do now?" Forrest asked. He had seen the list and had composed his self well after an entire hysteric crying episode.

"I don't know." Blaine replied. He had taken up pacing the floor again.

"Dammit, I wish I hadn't left my phone back at my dorm."

"Yeah, me too." Blaine shook his head.

"Blaine, seriously, we have to get out of here. If they find us here…" Forrest trailed off.

Just then, three gunshots rang out. It was not in their hall, but it wasn't far away.

"Oh my gosh, oh shit, oh my, oh, oh fuck." Forrest whispered, cowering into doors of the cabinets.

"Okay, yeah, we do need to get out of here. So we know that they're still in the building, that's good—"

"How is that fucking good, Blaine?"

"We know where they are, so it's easier to sneak away. If we avoid their direction, we can make it to the exit. It's like sneaking out right under their noses."

Forrest hesitated, but then stood up. "Okay, okay fine. I'm with you. But wait!"

"What?"

"…What about Kurt?"

Blaine's mouth popped open a little bit. He had forgotten all about Kurt. His heart started aching.

"Well? Are we gonna go find him or not…?" Forrest said.

Kurt had fallen into a stupor composed of fear, numbness, and boredom.

Mrs. Key's class sat in silence as they waited for something to happen. It's been almost two hours since the first gun shot.

"I wonder how everyone in the other buildings is holding up," Nick whispered to Kurt.

Kurt shook his head slowly. "Maybe they're all dead."

"Don't say that, dude."

"What else can I say?"

"I don't know—that maybe someone called the police and they're on their way here right now? You know, something comforting?"

Kurt shrugged his shoulders and buried his face in his arms that were hugging his knees to his chest.

"What's wrong with Hummel?" Andy Crawford quietly asked, sliding over next to Nick.

"I have no fucking idea. He's like… brain dead." Nick replied.

Andy put a hand on Kurt's shoulder. "Hey, buddy? It's Andy," He whispered to Kurt. "Everything's gonna be okay, okay? Hey, listen to me," He shook his shoulder. Andy looked at Nick and shook his head. He let his hand slip off of Kurt's shoulder.

"Shit, man, we need to do something." Nick whispered to Andy really quietly so Mrs. Key couldn't hear.

"I know. We should like… go up to Dean Thomas's office. See what's up with him, why he's not doing shit."

"Dude… what if he's dead?"

"…Which is why we should go up and see! And if he is, call the police since Key's being a bitch about using the phone in here."

"Well how are we gonna get past Key? She's like a fucking hawk right now."

Nick and Andy looked over at Key, who was keeping a close eye on the class. She had gotten past the whole no-talking thing, as long as it was really super quiet.

"Maybe we can just walk straight out. 'S'not like she can do anything. She'll just stay right where she is. She'd never come after us out there." Andy whispered after Nick looked back at him.

"Yeah, we can do that." Nick agreed.

"I'm coming too." Kurt whispered, who had popped his head out of his arms.

Surprised, Nick and Andy's wide eyes turned to Kurt.

Kurt shrugged. "I—I just can't stay here all cooped up, waiting for nothing to happen. I want to help."

"O-okay then." Andy replied, still surprised.

The boys just sat there, looking at each other.

"Do we go now?" Nick asked.

Three gunshots rang out over the campus.

"Oh my God…" someone quietly squeaked somewhere in the room.

"Actually, I have an idea on how we can get out of here," Andy whispered. "Stay here."

Andy waited until Mrs. Key wasn't looking, then he slid across the floor towards a small group of boys on the other side of the room. Andy whispered to them really quietly. They all nodded simultaneously and then Andy slid back to Kurt and Nick.

"Okay, so Josh and all the guys over there are gonna create a diversion to distract Key. When she's not looking, we slip out as quietly as we can." Andy whispered. Nick and Kurt nodded in approval.

Andy waited for five minutes. Then, as Josh and his little group of guys watched, Andy gave them thumbs up. Josh suddenly disappeared in the blink of an eye. A minute later, one of the boys from Josh's group gasped. "Mrs. Key, there's something wrong with Josh." He said, loud enough for Mrs. Key to hear. As Mrs. Key made her way over to Josh—who was on the ground looking like he having hysterics and a seizure at the same time—Nick, Andy, and Kurt slid across the floor towards the door. As soon as Mrs. Key was preoccupied with Josh, Andy quietly opened the door, and the three of them slipped out of the room and closed the door quietly. Someone was probably gonna mention them to Key, but it didn't matter now.

The boys quietly crept down the hall, listening for extra footsteps and unfamiliar voices. They made it to the exit and slipped out. They faced Building F. Now that they were practically exposed, they crouched down against the wall and turned their backs to F, not noticing the bloody bodies of the security guards in the courtyard behind F. The next building over was Building A, where the dean's office was.

We're gonna make it, Nick thought.

The boys almost reached the end of the wall when the main doors of F opened behind them.
