Chapter 28: Graduation.

The day after Christmas…

As soon Blaine woke up he literally ran over to Kurt's parents apartment, he remembered Kurt had mentioned that he would spend the night there. It was just a few blocks away but he was exhausted when he got there. He knocked at the door until someone opened.

"What's going o-" Finn said confused but got interrupted.

"Is Kurt here? Please tell me he's still here!" Blaine almost yelled.

"Yeah, woah, dude, chill. He's here I-"

"Can you get him for me, please?"

"Yeah… okay, sure." Finn mumbled and walked away, calling Kurt's name.

A few seconds later Kurt stood by the door with a smile on his face.

"What's going on? Finn said it sounded like you- mmppfff!" Kurt yelped as Blaine grabbed his arm and crashed their lips together. He didn't care who saw, he probably wouldn't even have cared if Burt stood there. Eventually he pulled away though, the need for air became too much.

"Woah." Kurt breathed and suddenly frowned. "Wait, why are you crying?"

"I just… I- fuck." Blaine mumbled and sniffled. He felt ridicilous.

"What's wrong?" Kurt asked and took him into his arms, hugging him close.

"Nothing, I just… I love you. I love you so much, Kurt. And that Christmas gift, oh my god it was perfect. I love you and oh god, I love you!" Blaine kept on saying it as if he wasn't saying it enough, it sure as hell felt as if he was never gonna be able to say it enough times to give Kurt as much as an idea of all the love he felt for him.

"You really liked it?" Kurt asked and pulled away. "This much?"

"Yes." Blaine sniffled, finally calming down. "I loved it, it was perfect."

"That makes me so happy, you have no idea." Kurt kissed his lips softly before pulling away with a huge smile on his face.

"It's just, no one has ever done anything like that for me. Not ever. No one has ever made me feel this special and loved. It just meant so much to me because… Because I never thought anyone would. But then I met you." Oh, he was getting emotional again.

"Blaine." Kurt said and looked him right in the eyes. "That breaks my heart. You deserve the best kind of love, you deserve everything and I will do my best to always make sure that you know that. You mean so much to me, I will never stop making sure that you see how special you really are."

"I love you." Blaine said again as another tear rolled down his cheek. Kurt wiped it with his thumb.

"And I love you." He said and kissed him again.

Back to now, two hours left until Graduation…

Blaine was excited, he had waited for this day long enough. He was finally gonna graduate and get out of this hell hole. But he couldn't deny that he was just a tiny bit sad that it was gonna be over. In just a couple of hours. He was never gonna see the bullies faces again, he was never gonna come back. Never.

And that was alright. He had been here for three years and now he was finally done. He was gonna move to New York, with the love of his life, his soulmate… with Kurt. And he was gonna go to NYADA, yes he had gotten in and his reaction was basically just screaming and jumping around like a five-year-old. Kurt had gotten a job at , it seemed like those gorgeous outfits and his sense of fashion had payed off. They were really impressed with him and it was a dream come true for him, which made Blaine really happy.

But, he was gonna miss them all. Tina, Mike, the Glee kids, … Hell, he was gonna miss them a lot. They had so many memories together, they were a family and they always will be, no matter how far apart they are. That's what's cool about Glee, you stick together and you belong. He owed a big thank you, if he had never pushed him into joining Glee, he may not have been who he is today. Maybe he would have been even more lost, broken and alone than he already were back then. It was a scary thought… he might even had considered taking his own life. It had crossed his mind before but it was never enough for him to actually do it. Which he was thankful for, and so was Kurt. Because the one night when they talked about it, Kurt was crying. Kurt was holding Blaine in his arms and hugging him close, crying into his hair. He had spent the entire night letting Blaine know how special he is, how much he matters, how much there is to live for, how much he loves him and how amazing he is. Blaine believed him and he promised that it would never cross his mind ever again. Kurt swore he would always make sure that Blaine knew how much he mattered to him, it made Blaine's heart swell.

But right now as he stood infront of the mirror in his room, dressed in his robe, his heart was beating awfully fast. He didn't know why, maybe he was excited? Or maybe a little scared? He didn't know. But the thing he did know was that everyone was gonna be so emotional and they would all be crying. He would cry too, he was sure of that.

"You're still coming, right?" Blaine asked Kurt over the phone.

"Are you crazy? Do you think I would miss my boyfriends graduation? Never. I'm gonna be there, Blainers." Kurt teased.

"Please, not the nickname, please." Blaine groaned. Kurt laughed over the phone.

"Fine, no nickname, I'm sorry."

"Just don't be late, it starts in like 40 minutes so I have to leave."

"Yeah, yeah. I won't be late. See you in a bit!"

"Yeah. Bye, love you."

"I love you too, bye." Kurt made a kissing noise before he hung up the phone. Blaine laughed a little.

"Oh god, Blaine. I'm gonna miss you so much!" Tina sniffled and threw herself in his arms. Blaine chuckled and hugged her back.

"I'm gonna miss you too, Tay Tay."

"Group hug?" Mike asked and joined their hug. They stood like that for a while.

"Are you ready to graduate?" Blaine asked after a while.

"No." Tina mumbled. "But let's do this."

A few minutes later they were calling out the names of the graduates. The whole auditorium was filled with music, cheers and people were walking out one by one, getting their diplomas and earning more cheers from the audience.

"Blaine Anderson!" called out. Blaine smiled as he walked out on the stage, he saw his mom and Kurt in the audience. His mom was crying and Kurt made thumbs up, a proud smile spread across his face. Blaine accepted his diploma and shaked Figgins' hand. This was it, he had graduated. He had officially finished his senior year.

A few minutes later they had all thrown their hats in the air and they were all hugging, crying and laughing. It was a strange mix of feelings, but he was happy. They were all so happy to finally get the hell out of here, but they were also so sad to leave all of their friends and loved ones.

"Blaine!" Kurt attacked him in a hug once they were outside the school.

"I can't breathe!" Blaine complained as his mother joined the tight hug.

"Sorry." She said and pulled away along with Kurt. "We're just so proud of you."

"Thanks." Blaine said with a smile on his face. Kurt wiped a tear.

"So, I guess I'll see you after the party?" He said.

"What? Which party?" Blaine asked, clueless.

"I heard Puck's having an afterparty, you know, saying goodbye to everyone. Tina told me." His mother cut in.

"Oh, no. I'm not going. I'm not really close with any of them anyway and I'll get to see Mike and Tina during the summer."

"Are you sure?" Kurt asked.

"Yeah, I just wanna celebrate with our families." Blaine nodded.

"Alright, I'll go call Burt and Carol." His mother said with a smile as she walked away.

"You are amazing. You did it, you're out of here and you survived." Kurt said and cupped his face in his hands.

"Yeah, I guess I did." They both smiled before sharing a sweet, light kiss.

"But I do want to say goodbye to before we leave." Blaine said once they pulled away.

"Okay, I'll wait here."

"I'll be right back." He gave Kurt another quick kiss before walking inside the school, towards 's office. He knocked lightly at the door.

"Blaine?" said in surprise when he saw him.

"Hi, . I just wanted to say goodbye now since I won't be joining the party later."

"Oh? Are you sure you don't wanna go, it's gonna be a lot of fun I heard."

"I'm really sure. I have nothing to say to any of them anyway."

"Alright, come in." He made a gesture for Blaine to enter. He walked in and sat down in one of the chairs, sitting across from him.

"I guess I wanted to thank you, for everything that you did." Blaine began. "You were one of the few teachers that actually cared about me. So thanks, for forcing me to join Glee club and everything."

"My pleasure, Blaine. You were a talent and I know when I see a true star, and you were one of them." He said with a smile. Blaine returned the smile.

"It's been fun, if it wasn't for Glee club I wouldn't have made any friends, at all."

"You're very welcome. Honestly I'm sad to see you leave, but I can't wait to see your face on every single sign for every Broadway show in New York."

"Yeah, I got into NYADA. I guess that's one step towards all that."

"It is, congratulations."

"I guess I should leave. Ku- my mom is waiting for me." He mentally slapped himself for almost saying the name of his boyfriend. gave him a knowing smile and rolled his eyes slightly.

"Yeah, goodbye Blaine. And good luck." He said and pulled Blaine in for a hug. Blaine hugged back.

"Thanks, I'm gonna miss you."

"I'm gonna miss you too." They pulled away and Blaine smiled one last time before walking out. Kurt had walked inside and stood further down the hallway, waiting for him.

"Are you ready to go?" He asked and took his hand. Blaine looked behind him, down the hallway he had walked and being physically abused in. So many memories flashed through his head: from the very first day he had walked in here, to his first slushie, to meeting Tina, to being shoved into lockers and to meeting Kurt. He smiled a little and looked up at Kurt.

"Yeah, let's go." Kurt smiled and gave his hand a gentle squeeze before they walked out of McKinley High for the very last time.

A/N: I hope this was alright, I guess I'm not really familiar with the whole graduation thing so I kind of just made this up, but I hope it was somewhat realistic! Let me know if you liked it or hated it (:
