Chapter 16
It had been a month since Kurt and Blaine had talked and Kurt was doing a lot better. The boy had stopped having so many nightmares, only a few every now and then, and his side had stopped hurting. Kurt was feeling better, as if he might actually be able to recover from his ordeal. He knew he'd never be perfect but he trusted Blaine enough to know the other boy would always be there for him.
Today was the day he was finally going back to school. He was worried about how he would act, being surrounded by so many people, but he knew he couldn't stay inside for too long. The only people he had been in any contact with over the month was Blaine and Mr Schue, but only because he was living with the man. He hadn't wanted to talk to ND if only because of their pity. Mr Schue was good at ignoring the situations at school and soon proved he was good at doing them in his own home. They never talked about what had happened, only about what was going on in school at that moment.
Blaine was the only person he would talk to about his life's events. Blaine had attempted to take him to a therapist but he had broken down in the room when the therapist had started. Blaine had been supportive for the whole time and now here Kurt was.
He wasn't better but he was on his way. He had lost some of his attitude and had become quieter but he was still there. Every now and again he would crack a joke or let his sarcasm flow.
When Mr Schue pulled up outside of the school Kurt felt he starts to shake. It was as if it was the first day of school all over again. Taking a deep breath, Kurt exited the car and made his way into the school.
By the end of second period Kurt had locked himself in a bathroom stall. He was shaking and sweating. As soon as he had entered the school the jocks had cornered him and slushied him. And then he had been pushed into lockers on his way to his classes. If that wasn't bad enough every time one of those Neanderthals touched him he felt like he was being touched by his Uncle or someone else. He felt as if they were about to hurt him and he couldn't handle it.
Kurt was sat on the toilet seat, crying helplessly into his hands. He felt pathetic. He felt worthless. Voices made Kurt lift his head. No one knew he was in here, he was safe. Right? He wasn't sure whether to be grateful or not when he heard the voices.
"What are we supposed to do, exactly? It's not like we can follow Hummel around all day." Puck stated.
"Look, I agree with the girls that he's...fragile but we all get slushied." Kurt heard Finn say. "It's no big deal." As Kurt listened to his two fellow team mates he felt anger start to bubble to the surface. How dare they presume that he was okay? He sure as hell wasn't. He was scared. He was so frightened he was currently hiding in a bathroom stall. With this thought Kurt opened the stall.
The two boys looked shocked when they saw Kurt standing there. His eyes were red from crying but he had his best bitch glare on, that was frightening under the best of circumstances and these sure as hell weren't.
"How the hell am I fine? Can one of you two Neanderthals please explain that to me 'cos I sure as hell can't?" Finn and Puck sent Kurt a dumb-founded look. "I don't want your help but to hear my supposed friends say those sorts of things behind my back...what the hell!" Kurt shouted at them. "I don't need your pity but I sure as hell don't need to be slagged off." With this Kurt stormed out of the bathroom, tears still running down his face.
Angrily, Kurt rubbed the tears out of his eyes. He didn't even know where he was going anymore. He was just so angry. Suddenly, Kurt felt a rough hand push him backward. He hit his head hard on a locker. Hard enough to make him see spots in his vision, falling to the floor Kurt's whole world went blurry.
Tears ran down Kurt's face as sudden images appeared in his head. Horrible images that made him want to go and die.
His Uncle caressed the boy's cheek before pushing the boy onto the bed. Kurt hit his head against the head board with a bang, causing him to pass out in pain.
Kurt let out a small whimper before lifting himself off the ground and running out of the school. He didn't pay attention to the Neanderthals who were laughing at him as he ran or any of the glee club that saw him go past. He just wanted out.
He kept running until he couldn't run anymore. He looked up and found that he had ended up in the park. Kurt let out a small sigh as he walked through the green leaves, going towards a small alcove that not a lot of people visited. It was beautiful and calm. No one passed through here so it was a nice place for the boy to think. When things got bad Kurt would go here and stay there. Sometimes he would forget to go home and stay there all night.
Kurt leant against a tree, closing his eyes. As he closed his eyes the memory that had been forcing itself forward.
When Kurt regained consciousness he felt a cool breeze over his bare skin. He looked up, warily, to face his Uncle. The man said nothing before flipping the countertenor over. Kurt was still close to passing out when a small penetration made itself known. He felt as if he was being teared from the inside as Ben pushed into him. A high pitched scream filled the whole house, breaking the silence.
Kurt sobbed, burying his head into his hands. Slowly, Kurt started to scratch at his arms. He knew he shouldn't but he couldn't help it. He needed something to get rid of the painful memories. By the time he had managed to calm himself down his arms were red raw. Kurt let out a strangled cry before grabbing his phone.
He had a number of missed calls from New Directions and a lot of calls and texts from Blaine. When he looked at the time on his phone he realized that he had been sat here for longer than he should have. As he realized this he started to feel the cold air biting in his skin. He shivered before calling Blaine.
It rang once before it was picked up. "Where are you?" Blaine's voice was panicky.
"I'm fine." Kurt's voice was scratchy from crying.
"Bullshit. Where are you, love?" Kurt rarely heard the dapper teen swear.
"I'm in the park...I needed to clear my head." Kurt told him.
"I'll come pick you up."
"I'll wait at the entrance." Kurt whispered before hanging up.
Slowly, Kurt got to his feet and made his way to the park entrance. He didn't hurry though. He just walked slowly as he passed the families that seemed happy. The families that Kurt so desperately wished he was part of. Letting out a small sigh Kurt moved on.
When he got to the entrance of the park Blaine pulled him into a hug.
"I was so worried. I got a call saying that you'd run out of the school and didn't bother coming back. You could have been dead for all I knew. Promise me you will never do anything like this ever again." Blaine whispered into Kurt's ear, pulling him to his car. "You must be freezing." Blaine said as he shrugged off his jacket and placed it over Kurt's thin shoulders. Kurt sent Blaine a small smile.
"Thank you. Thank you for caring." The way the teen said this made Blaine's heart break. It sounded as if Kurt had never been loved before.
"I'd do anything for you, love. Remember that." Blaine placed a small kiss on Kurt's cheek, causing Kurt to blush.
As they climbed into the car Blaine turned the heating on.
"Blaine, I don't want to go back to Mr Schue's tonight." Kurt whispered.
"Why not love?" Blaine had a sudden image of the Glee director hurting his boyfriend.
"New Directions will be there and...I can't see them. I don't want to." Kurt sounded helpless.
"What did they do?" Blaine bluntness scared Kurt.
"Puck and Finn...they acted like they don't care. They didn't know I was there." Kurt sobbed.
"What happened today?" Blaine asked the crying teen gently. So Kurt told Blaine everything. From when Mr Schue dropped him off at the gates to when he had run out of the school crying.
By the end of it Blaine had stopped the car. Pulling the younger teen in for a hug, Blaine realized that he was truly the only person that probably cared enough about Kurt to try and help him.
"It'll get better."
"When?" Kurt whispered.
"I don't know love. But I promise I will always be there for you." Kurt nodded into the embrace. "Come one, you can come and stay at Dalton tonight." At this Kurt shook his head.
"I can't expect you to drive me back here." Kurt said, pulling away from the hug.
"Who says you're going back to school. You need time to pull yourself together. You need to be a part of a safe environment." Kurt gave Blaine an odd look.
"I talked to the Dean and he said that you could stay at Dalton for a while, until you get used to large crowds of people again." Blaine said, starting the car again.
"Why would he do that?"
"Because he doesn't agree with what's happened to you and because he agrees with me that you need somewhere safe. You won't have classes with the rest of Dalton, you'll just be living there. Get used to people." Blaine told the shocked teen.
"That's...nice." Kurt breathed.
"Well not everyone are homophobic arse holes." Kurt let out a small giggle as they drove.
I know it is really confusing at the end. I don't think I explained it well enough but here you go. If anyone has any ideas on how to bring Ben back into the story I'd love to hear them as right now I feel like all I'm doing is rambling. Anyway, please review :)
