Hey everyone! Wow, it's been a really long time since I've updated! :O Well, summer break is coming soon, so I will be able to update more!
Onto the chapter…
Recap:
Melody nodded and quickly stood and ran over to the staircase. Blaine began to walk over to the door, straightening out his button-up as he did so. He assumed that the police would be on the outside, but it was…Kurt.
Blaine took in a deep breath and grew a small, fake grin on his face. He unlocked the door and Kurt glared at his fake happiness. "H-Hi Kurt…what are you doing here?"
Kurt stepped in a little further and was now eye-level with Blaine. "Cut the small talk, Blaine. I know she's here."
Blaine nervously tugged at his on his shirt's cuffs, trying to remain calm. "Wh-What are you talking about?"
Kurt glared into his eyes, letting the intimidating silence take over for a minute. "Do you think that I'm an idiot? She's here…I know it. Now, move out of the way or I'll call the cops and get you arrested."
"Kurt, she isn't here. I'm telling the truth," Blaine was a very good actor, he could always make a lie sound like the truth, but Kurt was not at all fooled. Kurt pushed his way in and began to walk down the hallway.
"Where are you hiding her, anyways?" He opened up a coat closet and began to look around, closing it back up after a minute.
"Nowhere, she isn't here," Blaine crossed his arms and quickly shot an eye towards the staircase. He hoped that Melody had maybe heard Kurt's voice and took the hint to get out of the house.
"Okay, look," Kurt stepped forward and pointed his index finger at Blaine. "I get it, you think that somehow you two are going to be able to be together again and then ride off into the sunset together…get that thought out of your cute, little head right now. She's mine now, you can't change that fact."
Blaine's eyes were slightly glistening with tears. "She's upstairs…in my closet. You want her so badly…then just go get her."
Kurt looked at Blaine with some shock in his eyes, silently taking pity on him. He rose his eyebrows and grasped onto the stairwells railing. "Wow, didn't think you'd give up so easily."
The older man began to climb up the stairs and Blaine silently followed behind him, feeling completely defeated.
Melody held her breath. Was that footsteps thumping up the stairs? No…she was just imagining it…right? She swore she just heard Kurt's voice…
Keeping her knees pulled to her chest, Melody sat behind the closed closet door. She sat to the side of a basket full of colorful and patterned bowties.
Suddenly…the door to the room opened. She blinked her eyes shut. Please don't look in here. Please, please don't find me and take me back to him.
The tension grew more and more as she saw a shadow stop in front of the door. The gold doorknob twisted slowly and then the door swung open.
Melody didn't want to open her eyes because before she knew it, she was pulled by arm up onto her feet. She felt a tear run down her cheek and then she slowly opened her eyes. Blaine stood at the doorway, saddened eyes looking at her with sympathy. She tried to get out of the strong grasp holding onto her arm, but Kurt simply tightened his grip more.
"Well, well, well…what are the odds that I'd find you here?" Kurt's blue eyes glared down at her, Melody trying her hardest to keep her gaze away from him.
"Kurt, pl-please," Blaine stepped forward slightly. "This isn't all her fault…I should take part of the blame as well." He and Melody locked gazes, Blaine wanting nothing more then to run over and pull her into his arms, holding her as tightly as he could.
"Oh really?" Kurt tightened his grip even more, earning a slight groan out of Melody. "So, on top of the fact that you lied to me…you have been corrupting my daughter's mind?"
Blaine let out a sigh and pushed his hand through his hair, Melody could see a tear forming in his right eye.
She turned back to Kurt, who was still looking at Blaine. "Why are you so mean?"
Kurt froze and blinked his eyes shut, licking his lips slightly. He turned to face his offspring again and lightened his grip on her slightly. "What did you just say to me?"
Melody broke her arm out of his grasp. "I said…why are you so mean?" Each word she said seemed to get louder and louder. "You cannot honestly say to me that you don't care that you just made him cry. You used to love him. Why are you this way?"
Kurt seemed to get more and more angered with each word that she said. "That is none of you business, young lady. Now, you are coming home with me right now and that's that." He tried to grasp onto her arm again, but she pushed past him and walked over to Blaine. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him down to her petite level. The stood there for a while, Blaine slightly crying into her shoulder and Melody tightening her grip more and more.
Kurt watched the scene and felt tears building up in his eyes. She was…right. How did he become such a monster?
Was it honestly because he wanted to see Blaine go through everything he had for the past 12 years? Kurt quickly brushed away the tears. Blaine pulled away from Melody and slightly glared at him. "You know…no matter how many times you try and keep us apart…it will never work. She is my daughter and she always will be…you can't take that away from me, Kurt. Y-You don't understand the true meaning of being a father. You act like you bought her to keep as a pet…like some prize-"
"I was jealous, okay!" Kurt finally shouted out. Melody and Blaine looked at him, confused.
"Wh-What?" Melody stuttered out the word, she had never seen this man seem so vulnerable and upset.
Kurt looked down to his feet, wiping a tear out of his eye. "I-I was jealous of everything you two had. I just," He let out a small sigh, "wish I could've been around when you were growing up, Melody. When you were a baby…you were my whole, entire world. A-And then when me and you," His gaze fell to Blaine, "had all of those problems and I-I just…left." He bit his tongue and held back a small sob. "I-I should've been here…I should figured out our problems, Blaine…I should've let you," His gaze fell back to Melody, his head shaking slightly, "known that I even existed. I-I just…I really want you two to know…h-how sorry I am…I was horrible." He looked between both of them. "I was horrible to both of you and I was truly…selfish. You two were everything to me…" He gazed at Blaine with saddened eyes, "and I just threw it all away."
Blaine gave almost a sympathetic look to the older man and gazed down to Melody. Her eyes were filled to the brim with tears and they both nodded. Walking over to Kurt, who was now silently crying, they wrapped their arms around him. Kurt held Melody to his chest, sobbing softly and kissing her forehead occasionally. Blaine was holding Kurt's arms together and rested his head slightly on top of Kurt's.
As Kurt began to calm down, the small group pulled apart. Looking between the two, he placed a hand on both of their shoulders. "I think it's time to figure this all out."
Are you guys getting happier? I hope this is explaining some things a little more! I should be posting more…soonish. I know it has been a while now! Haha, love you all! (:
