Mid August

Blaine

Blaine and Kurt were spending the evening shopping. Summer vacation would soon be over. Dalton starts back in two weeks, while Mckinley follows after Labor Day. He's been checking his phone all night. " Is everything okay, Kurt?"

Kurt brow raised but smiling, " Yes, why do you ask ?"

Blaine smiles back, " You've been checking your phone all night."

Kurt, nervous giggle, " I'm waiting for Mercedes to call, she uh.. went to the movies with Azimio." I can't believe I just lied to Blaine. I'm not going to tell him I'm waiting for Dave to call. He didn't like that I'm keeping in touch with my former bully. Thought it was "Unhealthy", he just doesn't understand. People change, or better yet just start being themselves.

Blaine just smiles and nods. He is so lying to me. Something needs to give are we wont even be friends by the time this sham of a relationship is over. We are just friends that hold hands and occasionally kiss. Except now he's lying to me. I just want things back the way they were before. I want my best friend back. Kurt's phone sounds off with the ring tone Animal by The Neon Trees. Blaine's stomach sinks, " I think I'm gonna try these on." holding up a pair of pants. I don't want to listen to him lie anymore. He walks to the dressing room as Kurt answers his phone.

Kurt, " Hello"

Dave, " Hey it's me, I finally made it."

Kurt, " I was starting to worry."

Dave, " Yeah, my three in a half hour drive turned into six. Construction on 70. I'm beat... I would have called sooner, but I forgot to charge my phone before I left. What are you doing?"

Kurt looking back at the dressing rooms, " I'm shopping."

Dave, " I should have figured that was what you would be doing on a beautiful summers night". laughing," Instead of being outside enjoying the nice weather, your inside."

Kurt, " Hey, I take offense," smiling " Besides were down to the wire, I have to get all new outfits. This is senior year."

Dave smiles, " I stand corrected. Or you stopping by later?"

Blaine walks back to Kurt, " They fit." Dave's smile drops. I Knew that was who he was with. We are friends nothing else, and I would be smart to remember that.

Kurt just smiles and nods at Blaine, " I'm going to try, I'll text you for sure in a little while." The way Blaine's looking at me he knows.

Dave, doing his best not to sound disappointed and failing. " Yeah, okay, I gotta work on my mom's kitchen sink anyway . Damn thing keeps clogging up. I'll talk to ya later."

Kurt, " Okay, night" Looking over at Blaine.

Blaine, " So how was the date?"

Kurt, " Actually that was Dave."

Blaine, I know it's petty, but I don't like him calling him Dave, what ever happened to just Karofsky. " Oh."

Kurt, " Look Blaine, I know you don't like me talking to him, but he's different. "

Blaine, looks down at the clothes rack separating them, wishing that was the only thing in their way. At least he told me the truth. " I don't think I would mind as much if you still talked to me." Turning ,Blaine leaves the store.

Kurt just looks at the spot where Blaine had been standing. Well now I feel like hell. He looks so sad. I just want things back the way they were before. I just want my best friend back.

Disappointed, Kurt goes in search of Blaine.

Saturday Morning

Dave pulls up outside, Hummel tire and Lube. Trying to gather his nerves, Kurt said he doesn't hate you anymore. Be brave, there's at least a 50/50 chance he wont hit you with a tire iron. Taking a deep breath he exits his truck making the short walk up to the office. Burt is sitting behind a desk, pulling a Slim Jim out of what looks like a hidden stash. He turns, his snack hanging out of his mouth as he hears Dave approach. Taking the Slim Jim out of his mouth, he stands eye to eye with Dave.

Dave nervous, " Mr. Hummel, Sir."

Burt, " Dave, What ya need son?"

Dave, " I uh,"Okay he didn't punch me, and did he call me son? " I just wanted to come by and apologize to you in person. For the way I treated Kurt, and the grief I caused your family."

Burt, " That's real good of you Dave. I know you and Kurt have put things behind you, just know I wont tolerate any bull shit okay?"

Dave, " Yes sir, I uh also wanted to give you this. " He hands over an envelope.

Burt, looking at the contents, " What's this Kiddo?"

Dave, " I'm working real hard on being a better person. Part of that is making things right when I can. I looked up how much tuition at Dalton cost. It's my fault Kurt had to go there. " Pointing at the envelope, " That is the least I can do. Consider it a down payment on the rest."

Burt, " I can't take this, you need it for your mom. Besides I did what I had to for my son, nothing else."

Dave, " Please take it. I've already helped my mom with all she needs this month. I've been picking up extra shifts when ever I can. I need to do this, for your family and for myself."

Burt looks Dave in the eye, reaches out and shakes his hand. " Okay." Dave breathes a sigh of relief. " Son, you need to come home. Your mom needs you."

Dave, " I've been thinking about it. My boss at Meijer said I could transfer over here. Classes are almost over too." I just haven't decided if I can handle being around your son. Not sure I can take the pain of seeing him with Blaine.

Burt, " Well think hard about it. You still have a lot of friends here."

Dave, " Thanks, I better be going. Uh could you not tell Kurt about this?"

Burt, Pausing for a moment " Sure, have a safe trip back."

With a wave, Dave drives away.

A/N: I really want to correct some typos etc in past chapters. A little confused on how to do that on FF. I'm afraid I'll mess something up. If someone could PM me on how to go about it. I would be grateful. I always re read what I wrote before I write and those Typos drive me crazy. I always miss stuff even proof reading multiple times. Thanks
