I know it has taken ages for me to update but I have literally been buried in homework and coursework. Thank you to everyone who's reviewed this story, I really appreciate it ;)

Chapter 18

Andrew Hardy was the Dean of Dalton Academy was a strict man. He believed in no bullying and was open minding. This was the reason he had allowed Blaine's request. Although the lead Warbler was popular and his family had a lot of money the Dean had agreed to let Kurt into the Academy because of the story. Although he didn't know all of it he knew the younger boy had been through a lot and had nowhere else to stay. This alone as why he had agreed allow Kurt the chance at Dalton.

Kurt's first impression of the Dean was fright. The man had a lined face and a hard face. He had the same build as his Uncle and the younger boy could just imagine his Uncle's face, instead of the cold lined face of the Dean. Blaine's hand was the only thing keeping Kurt from running from where he sat.

"So, Kurt, how's Dalton for you?" The man's voice didn't match the coldness in his face. It was calm and patient.
"It's a...It's fine sir." Kurt mumbled, expecting to be told to speak up.
"I'm glad you like it. Now Blaine's been telling me that you don't have anywhere else to stay so I've agreed to let you stay here." The man started. "However, there are certain things I am expecting from you Kurt." Kurt whinced as memories of everything he had been expected to do with other men and his own Uncle came into his head.

"Are you a good student Kurt?" Kurt looked surprised by this but nodded. "Good, I have been talking to the school board about you and I think there might be a way to let you stay here free of charge." Kurt looked up hopefully as Blaine squeezed his hand.
"Blaine tells me you're sing, is that true?" Once again Kurt nodded, not trusting his voice to say anything. "Well that's good. I've talked to the Warblers and they've agreed to let you try out." Kurt looked confused but Blaine just smiled at him.

"If you get into the Warblers you can get a music scholarship into the school. Also, the librarian, Mrs Scott, has agreed to let you work in the school's library as payment for Dalton's tuition and your books, uniform and board." Kurt looked close to tears. The man in front of him was giving him a chance at a home and a decent school when he had only just met him.

"Thank you sir." Kurt managed to choke out. Looking over to Blaine, Kurt saw that he had a huge grin that split across his whole face.
"I'm glad you're pleased but I hope you know it will be a lot of hard work and I hope you're up for it." Kurt nodded, enthusiastically. The Dean smiled then. "I'll let Blaine take you back to your dorm then; you'll be auditioning for the Warblers tonight." With this Blaine grabbed Kurt's hand and led him out of the room.

As they exited the Dean's office Blaine pulled Kurt into a huge hug, spinning him around in the air.
"I told you he'd like you." Blaine laughed as he put Kurt back on the ground. Kurt just smiled at him as he let Blaine lead him down to the get some lunch, before taking it back to Kurt's dorm room.

LINE BREAK

Kurt was currently sitting on his bed, going through possible songs to audition with for the Warblers; Blaine having left while ago to go back to classes. He wanted something to show off his voice. He really wanted to be accepted by the Warblers.

Ever since he had met Blaine his life had changed. He had gone through the worst part of his life but he had also gone through the best in his short time with Blaine. That was when the perfect song struck him.

It was one of his favourites and it would definitely show off his voice. And best of all Kurt could relate to the song. This song was how he wanted to feel. Like the song meant he wanted to feel free.

As this thought struck him he started to practice. It was about time for Kurt Hummel to stop pitying himself.

Blaine arrived at his door soon after. Kurt hadn't even noticed that he spent so long practicing but was proud of himself for not getting stuck in the memories that plagued him.
"Hey, beautiful. Ready for dinner?" Kurt nodded as Blaine whispered in his ear, pulling him towards the door. Kurt smiled at Blaine, allowing him to be pulled into the corridor.

This time around Blaine refused to let Kurt out of his sight as the two got there dinner. Blaine's plate was piled high but Kurt only got a salad. This made Blaine take Kurt's plate and put more food on it.

They ended up on the same table as they were at breakfast. The boys didn't give the pair a second glance as they all sat down, which Kurt was grateful for.

"What I want to know is why the hell we have to give another audition in the middle of the semester?" Thad started angrily.
"Because we don't have a choice. I just hope whoever this guy is, is worth it." Wes answered back.
"Right, I mean it's nearly Regional's and we have to win New Directions." Thad said.

"What's going on?" Kurt whispered into Blaine's ear.
"It's nothing love." Kurt knew Blaine was lying but didn't push it. Truthfully, Blaine would have told Kurt if he didn't think it would upset his boyfriend.

By the time dinner was finished, Thad and Wes' argument seemed to have started to effect the whole table. Kurt was still clueless as to what was going on but he was also worried about his audition to the Warblers, so wasn't really paying the boys on the table any attention.

Honestly, Kurt was starting to regret agreeing to any of this. I fit wasn't for the fact he had nowhere else to go he wouldn't have bothered agreeing to audition.

Blaine led Kurt to the choir room, or the Warblers room as it was known to most of the student body. He was feeling just as nervous for Kurt as Kurt was feeling himself but for many different reasons. Honestly Blaine knew they were daft but seeing the way his friends had been affected he wasn't sure if it was the right thing to be nervous or not.

"Just wait out here before someone comes and get you." Blaine told Kurt before kissing the younger by, lightly, on the lips. "Courage." With this Blaine left the room. As Kurt stood outside the door, he started to have second thoughts but he told himself not to be so stupid. He was going to nail this.

By the time the door opened, revealing a skittish looking freshman, Kurt was about ready to run for it. With a deep breath, Kurt entered the room.
