Hey guys! Sorry i didn`t update sooner. I feel like i`m taking way too long for these for you guys . Lets just carry on eh?
Thomas watched the abandoned house from the bushes with some SWAT team members; they were scattered all around the proximity of the building. Some farther, some closer; they were scattered. No way was Dave escaping this.
It was early morning, the sun was just hitting the sky, but hadn`t risen enough to give a full-blown light to the ground, just enough to see. The sky was dancing with color vibrantly, but it didn`t lighten the dark, heavy atmosphere.
Thomas pulled up his reciever.
`Move in.`
Everyone moved forward slowly from their positions, and Thomas, as well as two SWAT members went on either side of the front door. He counted with his fingers and kicked it upen, lifting a gun, pointing it in. Dave shot up from where he was laying on the ground, and tried to scramble to the back door, only to find that he was surrounded. He was cornered and he swallowed thickly. He shook and his eyes were wild, almost manic.
`Just come with us Dave.`
`NO!`Dave`s body had a constant tremor, like he was experiencing an earthquake. Tears were falling down his face, and he looked absolutely insane. Thomas tried talking him down.
`If you just let Kurt go, and come with us, nothing will happen.`
Dave shook his head.
`No. No. No, no, no, NO!`
Dave pulled out a pistol, holding it to his chin, and everyone backed off slightly. Thomas put his gun on the ground and raised his hands.
`Dave... Put the pistol down... You don`t want to do this...`
Dave`s tears flowed freely.
`Why? Why don`t I? I fucked up... I messed up my whole life. I snapped and I ruined it all. I`ll never find love because i`m a monster. I`m an insane monster. And i`d rather die than be in prison the rest of my life.`
`Dave... Dave, please...`
`No...`Dave closed his eyes. `I don`t want Kurt or Blaine to have to look at me anymore.`
He pulled down, and Thomas screamed one last time, everyone turning away as the blast rang out, and Dave`s body fell to the floor, limp. Thomas lowered his arms slowly, blood dripping off of his coat. He fought back tears; too many memories. He didn`t need this. He pulled out his reciever and called in techs to be sent out for testing and cleaning, and hung it up. He looked around, solemnly.
`I`m... So sorry everyone had to go through that... But right now, we need to find Kurt.`
He turned around, feeling along the wall. He felt a slight indent, and pushed gently, and suddenly a wood door shot open. He stepped inside and saw Kurt shivering and naked on a moldy stone floor, his body bleeding and pale, his eyes closed, and breathing shallow. He waved in some of the team and they came in, getting to work on undoing the chains on Kurt. Thomas pulled out his receiver and called up for an ambulance. He stepped out from the building as the he waited to flag down the ambulance. The sun finally rose over the hills and tears slipped from his eyes.
His father. His father had ended just like Dave had; and again, right before his eyes. He couldn`t understand why this kept happening to him. He let out a shaky breath, clearing his throat as he pulled out his phone, dialing in a number.
`...Hello?`
`Hello, Blaine?`
`Thomas, I- Have.. have you found Kurt?`
Thomas hesitated. `Yes. We have.`
`Oh my god, is he okay? Please tell me he is okay, please...`
`He`s alive, Blaine. But he`s in bad condition. We have an emergency team coming out. As soon as they get here to round him up and take him to the hospital i`m hopping in my car and coming to get you; i`ll get his dad too. I`ll stay with all of you in the waiting room at the hospital okay?`
`O-Okay... Thank you, Thomas. Thank you. For saving him. Thank you.`
Thomas just smiled as he heard Blaine crying out of worry but also relief over the phone.
`It`s my job, son.`
He hung up, looking up and waving at the oncoming ambulance, and began walking to his car as some SWAT members began to show the medics the way. He hopped in his car, driving back to Lima, heading to Blaine`s home.
3 weeks later...
`Well, guys, it seems we`ve had a very hard end of the semester... But I do have some good news!`Mr. Schuester smiled to the New Directions broadly, and some of them rolled their eyes.
`Like what, Mr. Schue,`Artie sighed, `We lost Nationals, Kurt hasn`t been able to come to school for close to a month and a half, we had to deal with that funeral and court...`
Puck nodded his head. `Yeah, there isn`t much that could be good news right now. `
`Even me coming back? Ouch, i`m hurt.`
Everyone`s heads whipped around at the voice, and they saw Kurt limping in, a walking cast around his right leg, Blaine next to him, his arm around his waist. Kurt was wearing sweat pants and a white v-neck; his hair was messy, but his skin had color again, and he had the faintest of smiles on his face despite his still-healing bruises and scratches. Everyone got up and ran to him, gently hugging him and crying in joy and concern and relief alike.
Blaine stepped out of the way and turned to Mr. Schuester, who smiled brightly, nodding.
`Okay everybody, Kurt and Blaine have an important announcement for us!`
Kurt hobbled over to Blaine, taking his hand, feeling comfort only in his touch, and he smiled meekly.
`Not only am I going to be attending school actually in-class for the last few weeks of school before summer, but also...`
Blaine turned to the New Directions, smiling.
`I`m transferring to McKinley as well.`
Everyone smiled and clapped, and cheered. Blaine put his arm around Kurt`s waist, holding him gently, softly tracing circles on his hips. He was so happy the medication Kurt was on was working. He felt awful that he had to take so many pills; due to the fact he didn`t eat for 3 days straight, and even before that his eating habits were awful, he lost a horrid amount of weight, but he didn`t have the energy to get up and work out and eat, so he was taking alot of multivitamins, and various vitamin pills. He was on anti-anxiety pills, as well as a strong antidepressant, and sleeping pills. He also had to go into the doctor once a week to get a blood bag done because the whip he had been hit with had infected metal on the ends, and so his blood had become toxic, making it hard for him to think properly. A few more weeks of that treatment and he`d be fine, but with everything in general, all of the therapy sessions, the pills, the doctors appointments, dealing with court martials and lawyers, the whole thing was just a huge stress for Kurt.
Everyone kept thinking about the same thing Blaine was; how big of a struggle this was. All of the New Directions were oblivious to Blaine living at Kurt`s house except for Finn and Rachel; she actually had kept her mouth shut. And only Kurt knew about his past and his true insecurity. But everyone was in awe at how Kurt could just look at Blaine, and his eyes would sparkle ever-so-slightly, and he would smile.
Just, smile.
And they knew, that he was unbreakable. He was hurt in the most inhumane way almost anyone could be hurt; he was brutally raped, kidnapped, tortured, and worst of all; his virginity was taken from him, and he wanted to solely give it to Blaine. But even Kurt knew now, with the help of intense therapy and Blaine, that that was rape; and rape is not sex. It is torture. It`s a crime.
Blaine told him in his eyes, Kurt was still perfection. He was pure, amazing, and beautiful, and clean, and he would never leave him. And he was still a virgin in his eyes.
Because rape is not sex.
Sex wasn`t even what Blaine wanted to call what he wanted with Kurt.
They`d had many talks about this over the past few weeks, and Kurt was getting more comfortable with talking about it; He was still a virgin, because he hadn`t made love. And that, was what he was going to do with Blaine someday.
Not now, but someday.
Kurt laced his fingers through Blaine`s, who just smiled, leaning closer to him, and laid his head on Kurt`s shoulder, who just leaned his head on Blaine`s and everyone just smiled at them appreciatively, looking towards their significant other if they had one.
This was the start of something beautiful. It was an amazing thing. Suddenly, Finn got up from the chair, and walked over to Kurt and Blaine.
`Hey, Blaine.. Can I talk to you for a sec?`
Blaine let go of Kurt`s hand, nodding. He left, and soon Brittany, Mercedes, and Rachel were in his place, all happily talking to Kurt. Brittany innocently went on about how the gay fairies in the air were sad at school when Kurt left, she didn`t even feel like a unicorn anymore. Santana just patted her back and told her that the gay fairies were happy again because the gayest unicorn of all was back and Brittany just giggled, nodding, and hugged Kurt.
Finn closed the choir room door as they stepped into the hallway. Blaine turned to him, expecting to be yelled at for never having protected Kurt; Finn had been acting strange for the past 4 weeks, and he was sure it was because he was an awful boyfriend.
Finn had been staring at the ground, shifting his weight from foot to foot.
`I don`t really know how to explain this... Um... Kurt, he... At the start of school, I made fun of him.`He looked up, staring Blaine in the eye. `I used to let the guys throw him in the dumpster. Say mean things. Until I joined Glee. Then I tried getting to know him a little, but he had a crush on me; i knew it. He still did when we first started living together. I got really freaked out; not because i`m homophobic, but because I didn`t know how to show Kurt that I wasn`t meant for him and someone else was without coming off that way- so i ended up snapping. I started going off saying offensive words, and my mom and I had to live seperate from Burt and Kurt for a while. I apologised to Kurt profusely until I made sure he knew how sorry I was. And i`ve always felt awful. I never really took him seriously, never really tried to understand him; he always cried, he was into fashion and musicals, and he just seemed weak and feminine to me. But, looking at him now, and for this past while, I can`t get over how much stronger he is than i will ever be, Blaine. And a lot of that has to do with you coming into his life and saving him. `
Blaine opened his mouth to protest that he`s done a horrible job of saving him, but Finn shook his head, smiling, stopping him.
`When Kurt went to go spy on Dalton, that day changed his life. If Puck hadn`t made fun of him, he wouldn`t have gone. So in the end, sadly enough, the bullying brought you two together. You`ve both been bullied due to your sexuality; and destiny brought you together from hard times. Kurt amazes me, now. I wouldn`t be able to show my face ever again if what happened to him happened to me; and I don`t know all the details. I got sick just hearing he`d been raped. Hell, i probably would be where Dave is if I was in Kurt`s shoes.`
Blaine looked down towards the ground, nodding solemnly, but suddenly felt himself pulled into a hug. He realized Finn had hugged him.
Finn had hugged him.
`Thank you, Blaine. You may feel like you aren`t doing a good enough job as a boyfriend to Kurt, but you`re more than he, or any of us could ask for for him. He deserves someone like you. You`ve brought out more confidence and power in him than i`ve ever seen in anyone. And he`s got light in his eyes. That`s something he`d been missing for quite some time. Ive only seen that kind of light in his eye when there was a sale at a designer store.`
Blaine laughed, his arms loosely around Finn`s larger form, patting his back. They pulled apart and Blaine nodded, tears pricking his eyes.
`Thank you. I wish I could help him more, y`know? I`d do anything to take away all his memories, his pain and just... Take it for him. Anything. But all i can do is be there for him every moment of every day. Hold him til he falls asleep, and be smiling at him when he wakes up. That`s all I can do. And I feel like it`s not enough, and I just wish that I could help him as much as he`s helped me and-`
Finn patted his shoulder, stopping him, nodding.
`You`re doing an amazing job, Blaine. You`re the perfect boyfriend.`
Blaine smiled a tear falling down his face. Finn smiled at him.
`Come on, Kurt probably wants you back.`
Blaine walked back in first and Finn smiled at Kurt.
`Kurt, your Mr. Perfect is back!`
Kurt smiled, reaching towards Blaine, who just walked up and picked up Kurt princess style, causing him to gasp. He kissed him and all the girls let out a soft noise of amiability, and the guys stared awkwardly; they knew it wasn`t a big deal, but it was still slightly weird to them. They just didn`t know what to think. Blaine walked him out of the room, still carrying him, since Glee practice was finished quite some time ago anyway.
`So, my knight,`Kurt smiled, kissing Blaine`s forehead, `Where are we going?`
Blaine smiled up at him.
`I think we should just go sit on your back deck with some tea and hold hands, and talk like a cute elderly couple.`
Kurt laughed loud and heartily, smiling, burying his head in Blaine`s neck. Blaine grinned, happy he could do that for him. Little did he know all of the New Directions were watching the scene from behind, and heard them loud and clear. Rachel took Finn`s hand, who just smiled.
`I`m happy for you, Kurt.`
Okay, so that`s this chapter.
SORRY FOR THE TIME JUMP!
It`s just, I was trying to think of all the recovery stuff, but i`ll just include that more in these next few chapters. Kurt`s at the `recovering but very shy quiet in public`stage right now. We`ve seen enough of Kurt falling apart and being insane and yeah. So. I`m trying to ease the mood a bit for the next few chapters. After all, there was a death in this one.
So, yeah. Review. Tell me what you think.
