"Although I really don't want to, I keep remembering Karofsky's face when he tried to kiss me again." I sighed to Blaine, although I was terrified of him, I did feel sorry for Karofsky. He's in a hard place right now.
"Are you mad?" Blaine exclaimed, instantly surprised at my comment, "After all he's done to you, you still feel sorry for him! Honestly Kurt, you really are too nice for your own good!" Blaine smiled at me. I had spent a lot of time with Blaine since the first time I went to Dolton, but his smile never failed to blow me away.
I had asked Blaine to come to McKinley to help me confront Karofsky. I had told him the whole story of what happened yesterday, shuddering at the part where I remembered how he kissed me.
Blaine had agreed to come to McKinley at lunch to back me up. So here he was. And I'm glad he was too as we soon ran into Karofsky on the stairwell. When we saw Karofsky approaching my heart started beating and I hurriedly told Blaine.
"I got your back," he quietly told me before stopping Karofsky. "Excuse me," he said formally. Karofsky stopped, looking at Blaine and then me. I could feel his quick gaze boring into me.
"Hey lady boys." He sneered at us, looking from Blaine to me and back. "This your boyfriend, Kurt?" I kept my eyes on him, mouth slightly open, but I could still feel Blaine's glance at me.
"Kurt and I would like to talk to you about something." Blaine said, reasoning, but firm.
"I gotta go to class." Karofsky pushed past us, shoving my shoulder roughly to the side. He turned his back on us and continued down the stairs.
"Kurt told me what you did." That caught his attention. Karofsky turned toward us.
"Oh yeah?" he paused with a threatening nod and a small snigger. God, I really hated that guy.
"What's that?" he continued. I sighed slightly, he wasn't making this easy for himself. I had no choice,
"You kissed me." His head snapped up to look at me, then he looked franticly around him.
"I don't know what you're talking about," Karofsky said with a smirk.
"It seems you might be a little confused, and that's totally normal. This is a..." Karofsky turned and began to walk quickly away, halfway through Blaine's sentence. He obviously didn't want to know. Either that or he wanted to listen but he didn't want to admit to himself that he needed help and support. Blaine follows him, still talking to him, or rather, at him. "A very hard thing to come to terms with, and you should just know that you're not alone." At this Karofsky turns on Blaine, rushing at him and pushing him into the fence. Blaine holds up his hands in a surrender gesture.
"Do not mess with me!" Karofsky growls at Blaine. Instant anger builds up in me.
"You have to stop this!" I shout, pushing Karofsky off Blaine. Karofsky frowns at me, then his face goes expressionless but his eyes are still hard. They soften slightly as he clocks my expression, he glances down at the ground, then back up to me. He turns, looking almost scared, and flees. I stand there, shocked. Seeing him reminds me of my encounter with him yesterday. But it also reminds me of something else, something that dragged sadness from my chest.
