A/N: Here is the long awaited third chapter. I'd like to say thank you so much to all of you who have reviewed. It means so much to me, and I honestly couldn't be happier... Thanks also to those who alerted and favourited. There is language in this chapter, not shocking, but is is homophobic so be warned. Let me know what you guys think. Enjoy. JusticeIsn'tEasy0083. D.


Chapter Three: The One with the Big Fight

Panic... Panic... Panic... Dalton was flooded with photographers, all wanting to talk to Kurt, get his side of the story, find out how he was doing with everything. They'd been afraid of this, the media coming to the school. It's not like people at McKinley don't know where Kurt attends school, they do, it's just the people that attacked Kurt weren't told, and now they know, meaning it's not safe anymore. Kurt could be anywhere, and they could just jump out and grab him. Wes and David were putting on a show for the media as Kurt and Blaine snuck in the backdoor of their house building, taking all their shortcuts to their dorm room. Nick and Jeff were waiting for them when they managed to get the door opened. Kurt practically collapsed onto the couch, sighing and running his hands through his hair. Other than the attack itself, Kurt had never felt more scared than right now in his life. The only other place besides Cora's that was safe, and it was about to be taken away from him.

Nick moved to sit beside his friend, knowing that this was going to be extremely hard for Kurt. After all, if Nick had gone through something like this, he surely wouldn't be handling it as well as Kurt is. Blaine was pacing back and forth, talking to Jeff, who seemed to be trying to calm down the lead singer, with no luck. Wes burst into the room, David close behind, and sat on the couch opposite Kurt, who had curled into a ball, wrapping his arms around his legs, his cheek resting on his knees. They were talking about staging a coup, and perhaps getting some of their parents to call the police and see what happens, but as soon as Kurt heard that, he was gone. He didn't want the police involved, that would involve getting his dad down here, and they're not on speaking terms. He doesn't want anyone at the moment, he just wants Blaine, and maybe Dr. Paul to talk things through with, because he anxious, and when he's anxious he gets... well bitchy, and violent, and just plain mean. The guys know about it, and they all try to give Kurt space, but it backfires, when Kurt threatens to start hurting himself, and ends up laying into the closest person. A knock on the door forces Kurt off the couch, and into Blaine's waiting arms on the far side of the room, whilst Jeff opens the door slightly, and pokes his head around through the crack only to see... Puck, Sam, Quinn, Brittany and Santana standing outside the dorm room, each with looks of pain, exasperation or anger on their faces. Jeff steps aside to let them in, and Brittany immediately pales on seeing her "dolphins" so terrified and scared.

Wes had been sitting where Kurt was previously, on the phone with Dr. Paul, who promised that he would be here soon, and to keep Kurt as calm as possible, which was easier said than done in cases like this. Blaine and Kurt had curled up together on their bed, talking with Brittany about all the latest New Directions dama that had been happening since the news that Kurt's attacker was out had broken. Santana said that the rest of the Glee Club didn't even ask about him, or if he was doing alright, they were too wrapped up in the fact that the person had been released, and scared they would come after them. It was at that point, that the five ND members had walked out of rehearsal and came straight here, pushing past reporters wanting to ask them questions to come and be with their friend's, who they considered family, during this time. Santana had long ago promised Kurt that she and Puck would do anything to protect him and Blaine, no matter that they were at different schools. Of course this would have been helpful for when Kurt got kicked out of his house, and forced to move in with Blaine's aunt...


Flashback: First week of Senior Year

Kurt and Blaine had been together for six months... well, not exactly, their anniversary wasn't till March, but that didn't matter. They were celebrating their relationship, and their love, the one thing Kurt's mother had taught him was to love and cherish the things he has, and the people he loves, which is why, if you had of asked Kurt, he and Blaine would have been caught in this compromising position by Burt, home early from work to see his son specifically to ask of his first week of senior year. You see, Burt Hummel is a protective man by nature, and after Kurt's attack, he was becoming increasingly worried about his son. Kurt hadn't smiled in a long while, he wasn't responding to therapy, he was depressed, and the violent outbursts had started. He was quite sure that walking in on Kurt and Blaine making-out should have been high on the list of "oh look, Blaine is helping Kurt to heal"... but of course, he'd been listening to his brother, a well-known homophobe for two weeks, and found himself cringing at the thought of Kurt kissing another boy. He'd been alright with his son being gay for years, so it's only because his brother was in town and putting thoughts and images into his head that he freaked out when he walked in on his son and Blaine.

He hadn't meant for it to get as heated as it did, as fast as it did, Burt was a passionate man, but he was never violent. He was never violent about anything, except Blaine touching his son... the thoughts... the images... planted in his head by his homophobic brother... they were fuelling his rage. Kurt and Blaine were given time from Burt to "compose" themselves, and met him downstairs for a "talk". Kurt and Blaine never expected the events that transpired... Kurt was holding Blaine's hand when they entered the room, this fact alone making the once all accepting Burt Hummel cringe... Finn had arrived home five minutes ago, and was in the room with Carole, but instead of looking like he wanted to lecture them, he was smiling, and giving them thumbs up. Kurt knew this was just Finn's way of saying congratulations, but after everything with the attack, he wasn't ready to forgive him just yet, so he smiled small, turning back to his now fuming father.

'What the hell do you think you're doing Kurt? You know that you're disgusting right? I won't have that behaviour in my house,' Burt said

'Wait, you're telling me, that after seventeen years of acceptance, you're suddenly against Kurt being gay? Are you against him, or afraid of your brother?' Blaine snapped

'DON'T TALK TO ME LIKE THAT YOU FUCKING FAG!' The words floated in the air, and the sound of a hand slapping a face punctuated the silence.

'You slapped him? Burt-'Carole started but was silenced when Burt turned to her

'I want you out of my house Kurt. I want you out. No son of mine will be gay in this house. I want you out. You have an hour to get all you shit together, and then I want you out...'

Silence... no one said a thing. Carole was on the verge of tears and Finn looked as though he wanted to punch Burt in the face. Kurt pulled his boyfriend out of the room, the side of his still bruised face was throbbing, and Blaine was silently hoping that none of the stiches had come loose when Burt had slapped Kurt. If Blaine thought he'd had it bad, he was wrong. His parents didn't even bother to kick him out, they just called Cora, said he was moving in when they went overseas, and never came back for him. Kurt could move into Cora's with him, it's not like she'd mind. She's the only Anderson that doesn't care if Blaine is gay or not. The thing about Burt is that they both thought he was more accepting than this... Kurt wants to blame his uncle, but he knows that, for his father to kick him out, he must have been thinking the same things deep down for a long time. This isn't just his uncle's influence; it's seventeen years of pent up homophobia that was just pushed to the surface by his uncle. Kurt's life was falling apart. Getting kicked out, the attack, having to find a place to go now... if his relationship with his friends and parents weren't bad before, they certainly were now. The only person he could rely on was Blaine, and even though they had each other, it doesn't stop the hurt he's feeling over his father's actions...slapping him... kicking him out... using a derogatory slur against his boyfriend... the one person that has been there with him through everything, and his father calls him one of the worst names in the book... Kurt wants to be sick, he does... But he can't. He has to pack as much stuff as he can in one hour, and then never look back.

A soft knock on the door, and then Carole entering the room didn't make Kurt's pain any less prominent, as Blaine stood protectively at his side, arm around his thin waist, trying to protect Kurt from a world that would suck him in and then spit him out like the garbage that he is... "No Kurt. Dr. Paul says you have to think positively or you'll end up back in the hospital... Oh fuck it. Who gives a flying fuck anymore? Fuck everyone... Rachel, Finn, my father... Fuck them all..." Kurt thought to himself, suddenly removing himself from Blaine's grip to punch the closest wall, which happened to contain his mirror. Blaine couldn't do anything for Kurt when he's like this and he hates it, but he knows that Kurt will come to him. He knows, because that's how they made it. There is screaming, and throwing and crashing, and then the sounds of sobbing, as Kurt sinks to the ground, head in his hands, blood trickling from his left hand, down his arm where the scars from the attack are still prominent. Carole is watching the scene as Blaine sits down beside Kurt, and pulls his boyfriend in, her hand over her mouth, tears falling down her face. She's never seen Kurt like this... so broken, and hurt. It was hard enough when he was in hospital, but now... silently, she places Kurt's suitcases on his bed, and backs out of the room, pulling the door closed softly behind her. Finn is standing at the top of the stairs, having heard the crashing, tears in his eyes... he knows he should feel guilty... How could he call Kurt a liar? He'd come to school bleeding for hells sake, and he just sat there, accusing his step-brother of lying? He runs to his own bedroom, slamming the door, before kicking the side of his bookcase, sending books and photo's flying, but he doesn't care. Not when Kurt is like this...

...

The hour goes quickly, neither Kurt nor Blaine saying a thing as they pack Kurt's "essentials" in the two suitcases, the events of the night still with them. Blaine takes Kurt's hand, and he stills for a moment, watching his boyfriend's blue-green eyes, filled with fear, before smiling, and being replaced with love and hope.' This is going to set Kurt back months in recovery' Blaine thought as they zipped up the bags, took one last look around the room, and headed downstairs, where Burt was standing in the foyer, no emotion on his face as Kurt pushed past him, mumbling something about Friday night dinner, before leaving the house, Blaine behind him. They stand at the end of the path for a moment, looking up at the large white house, before Kurt picks up the nearest rock and throws it, with impressive force, through a window, shouting a profanity at the now open front door, before turning and getting into Blaine's car, not taking another look back at the house. Kurt was crying, not sobbing, just crying, his head leaning against the window of Blaine's car as they drove out of Lima, leaving behind yet another piece of Kurt. Cora Elaine Anderson-James and Frank Grayson James, Blaine's aunt and Uncle who live in Westerville, had been informed half an hour ago about the recent events, and had basically bribed Kurt into moving in to their house, saying that he and Blaine can share the bedroom, and they won't even care, then lightened the mood by saying they were going to "duck out and buy Blaine and Kurt a new plasma TV and Wii console" to which Blaine had excitedly jumped around at, before returning to being serious, and trying to talk his Aunt out of it, only to be hung up on.

Needless to say, Kurt was happy that he didn't have to move in with Puck or Sam, but he couldn't stop the sinking feeling at never being in his bedroom again, or never speaking to his father again, and that just made the tears flow faster...

End Flashback


The light coming from the bathroom woke Blaine later that night. He was still asleep in Kurt's bed, the rest of ND sporadically spread around the dorm room. Kurt wasn't snuggled up with him, meaning he was either sleepwalking (he's been doing that alot since the attack), or he's just using the toilet, which would be the more logical option, considering that Kurt hasn't cut in months, not since he was put on anti-depressants, and moved to Dalton. Still, Blaine's worried. He gets up off the bed, careful to manoeuvre around Santana and Brittany to get to the bathroom. The light is on, meaning that someone is in there, and he counted Puck, Sam, Santana, Brittany and Quinn still asleep, so he's pretty sure it's Kurt in the bathroom. Blaine knocks on the door softly, the lock clicking and the door opening a crack, let's light stream into the room, making Puck grunt and roll over, but not wake. Blaine is pulled into the room by Kurt, and the door is shut and locked again.

Kurt looks almost terrified. He's curled into himself, and is staring blankly at Blaine, no emotion on his face, which looks paler, by any comparison. Blaine is standing in the middle of the bathroom, trying to figure out what is wrong with his boyfriend. He hasn't had an episode like this since the start of the year, just after the fight... its stupid Rachel and Finn and that stupid Friday night dinner that they had to attend. He'd be talking to Dr. Paul about them not attending anymore if it's going to make Kurt like this. The silence is overwhelming, but Kurt is hugging Blaine, almost squeezing the life out of him, and whispering something about being sorry for his father's words in his ear. Blaine doesn't say anything; he just tells Kurt that he loves him over and over, as they slide down the wall so they're sitting on the floor, Kurt on Blaine's lap, wrapped in his arms. The sound of Puck and Sam snoring in their room fills the silence made by the two Dalton boys. Sooner or later, they're going to have to deal with the rest of the Warblers. It's Monday, they have a meeting today, and then there are classes and Kurt's therapy tonight, and then they have to see Mrs. Anderson... If Blaine could make it so that they didn't have to face the world, he would gladly do it for Kurt. Apparently, Wes and David had filled Puck and the others in on the twins' plans for McKinley. Blaine just laughed at the thought of what the twins would come up with.

'Babe, we can't sleep here,' Blaine said as he felt Kurt drifting off

'I'm scared Blaine. I so afraid that they'll come to Dalton and hurt you or the others, and I'm afraid to be by myself... this is the first time in four months I've been this scared Blaine...'

'I know sweetie, but we're going to be okay. No one will touch us, they can't remember,'

'I'm sorry about my dad... I'm sorry about whatever your mother wants to talk to you about, and I'm sorry for all of this...' Kurt said, gesturing to himself, as the two got up and walked back out to the bedroom, before climbing into Blaine's bed and snuggling together, the other members of ND around them on the floor.


When Kurt and Blaine woke again at eight on Monday morning, they noticed that the only two people in the room were themselves, and a rather large teddy bear, with a note from Santana and the others, explaining that they were sorry they had to leave, but they have to go to school. Kurt smiles as Brittany's smiley face, and moves the bear to sit on his bed, straitening the bow-tie, before smiling softly, and walking into the bathroom to shower and dress for the school day. Blaine sent a quick text to Santana to thank them for staying, and that if he or Kurt needs anything, they would text. He knew Santana would pass the message on, it's one of the things he likes about the Latina girl, she can be a bitch, but when it comes to Kurt, she's caring, and protective. She's the same way with Brittany, and the smiles on their faces when they're together; it makes Blaine remember back to the times that he and Kurt used to look at each other like that. They still do, sometimes, on Kurt's good days, but they've been rare lately...

The loud yelling alerts Kurt and Blaine to Elijah and Emmanuel waking up the house. Blaine opens their dorm room door, already preparing for the twins' attack launch onto their beds, which happen every Monday morning, before Wes and David walk in to escort both Kurt and Blaine to the Warbler's meeting, and then their first period French class. Kurt walks out of the bathroom, and raises his hand to Blaine, counting down on his fingers... five... four... three... two... one... just as Kurt puts the last finger down, Elijah appears in the doorway, yelling something about waking up and sun rising... and then body slams onto Blaine's bed, before saluting and running off, only to have Emmanuel do the same thing two minutes later. Kurt was laughing... that's the first sound Blaine heard when he unblocked his ears, was his boyfriend's laughter. Not fake laughter, but real laughter, the kind he hasn't heard in months. It's at this point, that two of three council members enter their room, mouths agape at the sight of Kurt laughing his head off at the twins, and Blaine just standing there, waiting to see if Kurt's faking it, or has overdosed on his anti-depressants... the laughter dies down, and Kurt walks over to Wes, who is opening and closing his mouth, whacking him over the head, before kissing Blaine's cheek, and following Elijah and Emmanuel down the hall to the Warbler common room.

'Was... done...what... Blaine?' Wes said, rubbing his head

'I love Kurt... I love Kurt... I LOVE KURT! 'He shouted, running out of the room, fully dressed, and leaving Wes and David gaping

'Let's go Wessy, we're going to be late,' David said, pulling the head councillor out of the room, closing the door, before they head off in the same directions as the others

'What just happened? Did Kurt overdose? He's not... oh shit,' Wes said suddenly, and David stopped walking when he saw what Wes had been talking about.

To: Santana Lopez, Quinn Fabray, Noah Puckerman, Brittany S. Pierce and Sam Evans

You totally have to see this thing. The twins have set up this slideshow of what they're going to do to ND at McKinley, so I'm sending you guys the warning. It's going to be messy, and loud. You May wanna keep the courtyard empty around lunch time.

From: Wes Montgomery

Blaine, Kurt and Cameron were watching the slideshow, eyes wide, each of them pointing out things that would or wouldn't work as the twins boasted about their plans for ND and McKinley. Kurt still looked happy... well, happy enough to be suggesting violent things against ND, one of which included egging Rachel, who is a vegan... then he mentioned something about Jesse St. James, and he and Blaine laughed again. David had joined in, leaving Wes to just stare at the Warblers, now all chipping in their ideas, Nick and Jeff working with them to plan the whole thing. Wes' phone vibrated with a new message, and he smirked as he opened the text...

To: Wes Montgomery

Dude, that's so fucking awesome. We're going to be clear around then, we'll make sure the others are there though. Santana told me to tell you that she and Quinn spotted him today, and to let Kurt know. Happy battings Warblers...

From: Noah Puckerman

Wes cringed at the thought of Kurt's offender/s in Lima, but they had to go through with this. He would tell Blaine about it, and then they could decide what they want to do, it's not like they have to attend. Jeff is going to be filming the whole thing anyway, and it's funnier to watch, than to be there, and have to deal with bitchy Kurt. Besides, he's not ready to be back there yet, that was proven when they competed for sectionals at McKinley, and Kurt broke down on the bus. From what they knew of the attack, Kurt was doing pretty well, given that it only happened six months ago, right when Kurt and Blaine first started dating... stupid people ruining the Klaine happiness. Wes was absolutely shocked when Kurt had shown up at Dalton, bleeding, bruised, arms wrapped around himself, practically shaking with fear, and when Blaine saw his boyfriend, the two of them collapsed to the ground, one hugging the other, both crying. The Warblers had no idea what was going on, but Kurt was yelling something about stupid ND not believing him, and that's when he started telling them what had happened. Wes had watched Blaine get angrier and angrier, and then, when Kurt was done, he broke out of Blaine's grip, and ran out of the room, only to be found an hour later, on the floor of the bathroom, razor in hand, cuts all up his arms.

That's when the therapy had started... that's when Kurt got kicked out of his house, and that's when two lives changed, and because of that, the Warblers became more than just a singing group, they became a family... much like ND, actually, the New Directions are scum, of course, that's not including Puck, Santana, Quinn, Sam and Brittany. Wes thought, as the group took seats around the room, and Wes banged the gavel to bring the meeting to attention. Blaine and Kurt were whispering something to each other, both giggling like little school girls, and looking at Wes oddly. The Warbler had no idea what the joke was, but soon realised when David pulled the piece of paper off of his back, and handed it to him. Elijah and Cameron hi-fived, and fist bumped Kurt and Blaine, and then Wes realised what they had been doing... the object of their little game, was to make Kurt smile and laugh, and they did that, they did exactly that, which is why, Wes didn't yell or scold, he merely laughed along with the rest of them, raised his hands in surrender, and returned to the meeting at hand, which was mainly just the twins talking about their revenge plan, and trying to make Kurt laugh.

...

At nine-thirty, when the first period bell rang, Wes, Blaine, David, Kurt, Nick and Jeff, left the room, heading towards their French class, talking loudly about something Nick and Jeff had seen when they were home for the weekend. Kurt was holding Blaine's hand, a small smile on his face. Blaine was practically bouncing on the balls of his feet at the sight of his boyfriend, and even thought they all knew that this side of Kurt wouldn't last forever, it's the first glimpse of "Old Kurt", they've seen in six months, and, like David said the first time Kurt came to spy, it's endearing to see. The six boys walked into the classroom, greeting Madam Bouvier, before sitting down in a row specifically for them, laughing about something or other, before the teacher started the class.

It wasn't until the end of first period, when Blaine, Kurt and Wes were heading towards study hall that things changed. They'd been talking about their upcoming exhibition to McKinley when a voice stopped Kurt dead in his tracks, eyes filling with fear, arms wrapping around himself... Blaine had spun around so fast, Wes sworn he could have gotten whiplash. Kurt had shrunk back into his boyfriend, the person in front of them, just smirking at Kurt, not even bothering to notice the other students and Warblers surrounding him. Wes had a hand on Kurt's shoulder, trying to lead the two back towards the room, back towards their safe haven, but neither would move. They were frozen to their spots, staring, one with anger, one with fear, and the other, with pride and dignity. Wes had noticed however, that his wasn't one of Kurt's attackers... it was someone who was meant to believe him, who was meant to help him, who just stood by and let this happen. Kurt was terrified, not only of the people who attacked him, but of this man, this person who he thought he could trust...

'Kurt, can we talk?'

'Who the fuck do you think you are coming here after all that you did, and asking my boyfriend if you can talk to him? Are you out of your mind? Do you actually think-'

'Blaine... let's just do it, get it out of the way then it's done. Wes and David can come with us; we'll do it in the common room,' Kurt said, turning back to face the voice

'Third period starts in twenty minutes... you better have something good to say... follow us, we're not leaving them alone with you,' Wes said, Blaine and Kurt linking arms as they followed Wes, David and the man towards the common room...

On the way, David sent a text to Quinn. They needed back up and they knew this would be the only way...

To: Quinn Fabray

911... he's here... Schuester is here... Kurt and Blaine talking with him... common room... bail, bail...

From: David


A/N: Just to clarify. Mr. Schuester wasn't one of the people who attacked Kurt, but he did witness the whole thing, and he just stood there, and let it happen, so he's one of the people Kurt doesn't like anymore. The real attackers will be introduced soon, within at least the next two chapters or so. Let me know what you thought about the whole Burt-Kurt-Blaine fight... it's not really done yet, there's a little more so stay tuned... Thanks. JusticeIsn'tEasy0083.
