A/N: Okay, here it is. The chapter where we find out what happened to Kurt, and who attacked him. This chapter took me a while to write, because people have been bugging me for it for so long, that I felt pressure to make it perfect, so I hope it lives up to all you guys' expectations. Let me know what you think, and thanks to everyone reading this story for your reviews and alerts/favourites. Enjoy. JusticeIsn'tEasy0083. D.

Chapter Four: The One with the Guilty Party

William Schuester is a different man. If he had of kept Kurt safe, then maybe Blaine would sympathise with his second divorce from Emma Pillsbury, subsequent "mental breakdown", and two month suspension. However, Blaine doesn't care... he doesn't care at all, especially now, when the man who let his boyfriend be tortured and beaten, is sitting in front of them, fidgeting like a little school girl. Kurt has his game face on, not letting anyone see the scared side of him. He may have had many things taken from him, but he's not letting the one person who was supposed to protect him from all the bullies control him now. Wes and David are sitting either side of Kurt and Blaine, like a shield, formed by the council members (minus Thad), and Kurt and Blaine. This will be the first time that Kurt has talked about the attack outside of his sessions with Dr. Paul, and also the first time he's seen Mr. Schuester in six months.

The silence is interrupted by the arrival of Quinn and Puck, who practically storm into the common room, and move to stand behind the four Warblers, glaring at their former Glee teacher. The role has unfortunately been taken over by Rachel (not like that one wasn't coming), who just basically uses the power to give herself all the solos, and then expect the others to bow at her feet like little puppets. Puck and the others only stay so they can keep a look out for Kurt, and make sure that no one talks about what happened, even though there are eight people in the club who don't believe Kurt. How could they side with Kurt's attackers? Two of them they know, and the other, was a random, from Cleveland, who moved to Lima, and started at McKinley, where he decided to "stalk" Kurt. Surprisingly, it's Dr. Paul who shows up next, taking a seat in beside Schuester, who is looking more and more agitated as the silence wears on.

This impromptu therapy session isn't what Kurt had in mind when he'd called Dr. Paul and told him what was going on. He'd rather be in the office, with Blaine, not with the other Warblers, who hardly know what happened, and Quinn and Puck, who only know the basic details. Blaine is the only one who knows everything, the only one who has seen his scars, the only one who can understand and talk him through all the hard times. I guess if I have to talk now, I'd rather do it here, with fuck-head Schuster in the room, at least this way, he'll know what he did... Kurt thought as Dr. Paul turned to him, asking him to begin the same way he always does, by reliving the pain, so they can talk about it, and then work from there... of course, it's easier said than done...

Flashback: The Attack Six Months Ago

William McKinley Highschool

There was a loud crash, and I turned around to see him, standing over me, looking down, menacing, taunting, and preparing his line of defence. It was my stupid idea to chase after the Neanderthal jock; it was my stupid idea that got me in this predicament in the first place... David Karofsky, the master of hiding and being closeted... of course, no one understood the lengths that Karofsky had gone to, to get us to this point. He'd threatened to kill me, before, but this time, I knew he meant it. I wasn't expecting him to take the kiss any further though... I'd never wanted it to go this far, but of course, things don't happen the way that I want them to. Only two weeks ago, Finn and Puck had decided that they wanted to try and be friends with Karofsky, and see if that would stop the bullying, but it didn't. It only made it worse, especially when Finn invited him over to the house to "hang". It was alright up until... up until... Kurt felt Blaine squeezing his hand, knowing that it was hard for him to go on, especially since Wes and David had never been told about this part, nor had Mr. Schue been informed. Kurt looked to Dr. Paul, who just nodded. Kurt sighed, and then continued; not looking at anyone... it was alright up until the assault. Finn didn't know what was going on, or if he did, he didn't say or do anything... Wes and David looked horrified, but didn't say anything, letting Kurt get it all out... if I hadn't of gone after Karofsky the first time, it wouldn't have happened, and I wouldn't be the way that I am now... at this point, I'd been with Blaine for about, a week, I think. He was coming to pick me up after Glee that afternoon. I'd had a bad day, Rachel was being herself, and Finn had practically been ignoring me the whole day. I was walking out to meet Blaine when they jumped me. There were three of them, and I know that two of them were friends of the footballers, two people that no one would ever expect to bash the crap out of someone... the other guy... he'd been following me around for a while. Some kid who'd just transferred to McKinley or something... Puck remembers his name, he'd been asking all these really personal questions about everything, and he seemed to be really good friends with Karofsky... I hadn't yet told Blaine about the death threat or the assault, but I was practically shaking and in tears whilst I waited for Blaine...

Kurt took a moment to compose himself, looking around the room at the faces of all his friends and therapist. Dr. Paul was writing everything down, noting that this was the first time Kurt had said his attacker's names out loud since they met four months ago. Schuester was pale, and looked mortified that he'd completely fucked everything up. Kurt had to keep going, he had to now, because it felt kind of good to talk about it... Karofsky came up behind me, and pushed me to the ground, at first I thought he would assault me again, but when he just sneered, and then waved the other two guys over, I knew it wasn't going to be like the last time...

'Babe, you need to tell us the names of the other two. Dr. Paul needs to know... it will be a lot better if you say...' Blaine said, rubbing circles into Kurt's back comfortingly

'I can't. They said they'd kill me if I told... I can't Blaine... I can't...'

'Kurt, no one will touch you. I can't help you unless you get it all out Kurt. You're doing great so far, but you'll be better if all the names are out,' Dr. Paul agreed, as Puck and Quinn sat on the small chair opposite the therapist, nodding at Kurt

'David Karofsky, Sebastian Smythe and Jesse St. James... those are the names of the attackers, one, who at the time, was dating Rachel Berry,' Schuester spoke, not looking up at any occupants in the room

...

I didn't expect to see Jesse there that was a shock to me. He and Rachel were dating again, mostly because he wasn't a member of Vocal Adrenaline anymore, but also because apparently he'd "changed"... Sebastian had this weird obsession with Blaine, and kept saying that he wouldn't want me after this, that I wouldn't be pretty, and Blaine wouldn't want to be with someone who has scars, and is tainted. After the third kick to the stomach, I gave up trying to fight the inevitable. I don't know how long they beat me up for, somewhere between Karofsky and Sebastian saying something about winning something or whatever, I'd passed out, and when I'd woken up, I was, somehow, still in the parking lot, surrounded by cars. I was sure that Blaine should have been there to get me, so I tried to stand, to look for him, but my phone had been smashed in the attack, and I didn't have any other way of contacting him. I knew Glee Club would still be on, so I walked, with the last of my energy, to the choir room. Puck and Sam were on me like the fourth of July, no pun intended, asking me what was going on... I'd told them, about the attack, about the assault, but Sam didn't believe me at first, Puck did though, he said he was going to, and I quote "fucking kill the rat-barstards". Santana and Brittany believed me when I first old them, and then Schuester walked into the room, looked over at me once, and then addressed the others. Rachel looked horrified, but when I told them who did it... Kurt took a breath, trying to hold back the sobs at the next part of his story. There had been no proof, other than that of Mr. Schuester, and the cameras, which had been what put Karofsky, Sebastian and Jesse away, in the first place, but Kurt will never forget the words that people said to him, the accusations that he'd made the whole thing up... How could he have managed to break four of his own ribs, fracture his skull, sexually assault himself, three times no less, and have a broken arm? When I told them who did it, and what happened, they just laughed, and then when they saw I wasn't joking, Rachel started accusing me of lying, saying that I should be ashamed of myself for telling such lies about three of the nicest people in the world, and how Jesse wouldn't do anything like that, and that I was just a worthless little boy, who no one would ever love, because I was broken, tainted and ugly. Mr Schuester didn't even back me up on anything, he just stood there, in the middle of the room, no emotion on his face. I was terrified...

Finn told me that I was just using it as an excuse to get Rachel to break up with Jesse, so he would leave and stop picking on me, Mercedes told me I was being a drama queen, and that I just slipped and fell, Mike and Tina just looked at me like I was disgusting, Lauren was sniggering, Rory and that other girl whose name... Sugar, or whatever her face was, she just looked confused...It took showing Sam the video that Karofsky had filmed of the assault, and me trying to kill myself, before he believed me. Blaine didn't find out until two days later, when he'd shown up at McKinley, and Santana, Brittany, Puck, Sam and Quinn had stormed out of Glee, because the other's were bitching about me... and Jesse was still there, because I hadn't shown anyone the security footage of the attack yet, which Puck had stolen from Figgins' office... He couldn't believe that Mr. Schuester hadn't come forward... he'd seen the attack first hand, he'd heard Karofsky assaulting me, he heard the death threat, seen the way I flinched around everyone in Glee, and he just did nothing. Blaine was furious. I was in hospital for two months because of the attack, and then another month after that for the attempted suicide, just after dad kicked me out, because my fucked up homophobic uncle had been putting ideas into his head, and Finn had told Burt what happened... which led to my own father not believing me... I'm not okay Mr. Schuester. Do you know how long it's taken me to let Blaine even touch me? Sure, we've had sex, we've been doing it for just under two months, doesn't mean I don't freak out... I do. I have scars all over my body, not just from the attack... you could have stopped it... you could have done something... I saw you standing there... I heard what you said to me in Glee when I told you who attacked me... I'm so afraid to be alone, I flinch when anyone, other than Blaine, touches me, I don't like him looking at me naked, I freak when we go just that little too far in sex, I've got depression, I have violent outbursts, I cry for no fucking reason. I used to self-harm... Kurt looked up at his therapist, who nodded, letting Kurt know that it was okay for him to talk about, and that Blaine had the right to know... the last time I thought about cutting was two weeks ago... I didn't tell Blaine, because it was only for a split second, but it still happens. I'm so scared right now, I'm so... I hate myself so much right now, and you being here, is seriously making me want to either punch you, or throw my arm into something sharp... I want to stop feeling pain... I want to be able to be genuinely happy like I was today... for the first time... earlier today, I was happy... it's the first time the anti-depressants have worked...

I want my father back, I want to be able to talk to ND again, I want to be able to enjoy singing about something and I want you to get the fuck out of my life... leave me alone... just fuck off and don't come back. I don't care if you're on your second divorce, mentally unstable and got suspended, as far as I'm concerned, you fucking deserved it. Do you know I still wake up in the middle of the night with nightmares? None of you in the New Directions, other than Puck, Quinn, Sam, Britt and Santana, even blinked when I said I was transferring, in fact, you all looked relieved. When Puck told me that, after I'd left, Rachel just went on talking about herself like nothing had happened, I was surprised you hadn't just fucking thrown a party in the cafeteria, with a big fucking banner that says "yay, the fucking fag is gone... woo party!" you waltz in to Dalton, asking me to help you, to forgive you? Fuck you... fuck you to hell. You ruined my life, you and all of your stupid fucked up ND clones... how could you think I would lie about something like this? How could you honestly think I would be able to do something like that to myself? You saw the security tape at the trial, you saw the assault tapes, you saw everything and you're still a coward. I need to stop feeling pain... I want my life back... I want to kiss Blaine and feel something other than fear... I want to be able to be alone in a room with the other Warblers, whilst Blaine is studying or sleeping, without fearing that they're all going to jump me or something. I don't want to flinch when Wes pats my shoulder, or bangs his fucking gavel... I WANT TO BE ME, BUT I'LL NEVER HAVE THAT AGAIN... DO YOU UNDER-FUCKING-STAND? DO YOU ALL UNDERSTAND?

Blaine had let go of Kurt, knowing his boyfriend's emotions well enough predict his response. Wes and David were glaring at the former ND director, and Quinn and Puck had tears in their eyes, finally having heard the full extent of what happened to Kurt. Blaine was just watching the scene, making sure Kurt didn't do anything stupid whilst he was trying to control himself. Kurt knew that Blaine never thought he was disgusting, or ugly or any of those things, he knew that... Kurt loves him, and he loves Kurt, and they're going to be okay, Blaine knows it, because Dr. Paul is helping them, and Cora is helping them, and even though Karofsky, Sebastian and Jesse are out on parole, it doesn't mean that they're not going to make it. How could they let them out anyway? Surely their sentence would have kept them locked away for the full ten years, at least by that time, Kurt and Blaine would be in New York, far away from them...

'Kurt, babe, do you want anything?' Blaine asked calmly, standing and walking over to his boyfriend, who was staring out the window

'I think I just want to take my medication, and sleep. I need some time, before the session tonight, and seeing your mother, to relax. Please Blaine, that's all I want,' Kurt said, turning so his boyfriend could hug him

'I'll see you tonight at four Kurt, Blaine. Will, I'm suggesting you don't ever have anything to do with Kurt again. You don't know how far this has set him back... Quinn, Noah, you're quite welcome to attend tonight if you want, Wesley, David, you too. Make sure you check with Kurt though first...' Dr. Paul said, patting Kurt's shoulder, before leaving the room

'I know it's not going to mean anything, but I'm sorry Kurt. I'm so, so sorry,' Schuester said, heading towards the door 'I hope one day you can forgive me Kurt' he added

Kurt sighed and pulled out of Blaine's embrace to look at his ex-Glee teacher. 'I'll never forgive you, or Rachel, or Finn or my father, or Karofsky or any of them. Do you understand? Don't come asking for my forgiveness, because you won't fucking get it,' Kurt said, pulling Blaine out of the room, not glancing back.

Puck and Quinn caught up to their Glee teacher as he was heading towards the Dalton car park. Puck didn't want to give him the satisfaction of anything, but knew that if they were to go back to Glee, it would end in disaster, especially now that Schue is back. They stopped just short of Mr. Schue's car, and Quinn told him that she, Puck, Santana, Brittany and Sam were quitting Glee. Their teacher was silent for a moment, before nodding, and getting in his beat up car and driving off. Puck and Quinn walked over to their own cars, and promised to meet at the choir room so they could tell the others, not only what they thought about them, but also that they were quitting Glee, and rendering them ineligible to compete at Regional's.

Quinn smirked at the thought of Rachel... she's going to be so fucking pissed, but I don't give a shit. I don't give a shit about any of them, after the way they've treated Kurt, they deserve everything they're going to get... Puck was the first one to drive off, leaving Quinn to contemplate what she was going to do with herself now that she was quitting Glee. She could always re-join cheerio's... Coach Sylvester will probably crown her queen for ditching Mr. Schue and the Glee Club. The realisation that she was giving up something that was so safe for her scared Quinn a little. For the last two years she's relied on Glee as her safe haven, but now that she's giving it up... A small smile forms on her face as she comes up with a plan...

To: Noah Puckerman

Meet me in the choir room before Glee. Need to run something past u. X.x

From: Quinn Fabray

Head's up New Directions, you're about to be pummelled by Hummel and the Warblers... Rachel Berry wants a war, then it's a war she will get...

...

By lunch, all of the Warblers had assembled in the McKinley courtyard, minus Kurt and Cameron, who had offered to stay back and watch the live stream Wes, was recording. Puck and Quinn arrived with the slushie machine, just as the New Directions appeared at the bottom of the steps, Rachel's hands on her hips as she practically stormed over to Wes and David, poking them and hissing at them to get out... It was only then that Wes spotted Jesse St. James... he could feel Blaine tense next to him, knowing that if Jesse was here, Karofsky wouldn't be too far away... they had to get this over and done with as quickly as possible, and then get out before someone mentioned Kurt. Wes had gathered all the Warblers before hand and told them that no one was allowed to mention Kurt, or Blaine, to which Blaine had asked what they were supposed to call him, and Wes had given him some name from a movie. It's not like he cared, he was just playing along with Wes' stupid ideas, and the twins, Elijah and Emmanuel, seemed too excited to tell them to shut up or anything like that.

Finn had no idea what was going on. The last time he'd spoken to Kurt, he was shut down, and told off for telling Rachel about all the things he'd said, not like he could keep them from her, she'd find out eventually, when she went through his phone the way Quinn used to back when they were dating. Finn hadn't noticed Jesse standing back behind the New Directions, until he called out to Wes, who spun around, and threw a balloon at the man, filled with egg, flour and water. Wes laughed, as the other Warblers started throwing balloons, and soon, Finn noticed that Sam, Quinn, Puck, Brittany and Santana, were standing out of the firing line, so they didn't get hit. Rachel was trying not to vomit from the egg balloon that had hit her in the face, and Finn was working his way through the courtyard over to the slushie machine, which was being operated by two boys who looked exactly alike. They saw Finn coming, hi-fived each other and raised the hose they'd attached to squirt Finn straight in the face with blue slushie.

'E that was fucking genius. It's going to be so hard for the jocks to give slushie facials to people if there's no slushie machine...' the taller of the two said, kicking the now empty machine over, where it broke

'He he, Wessy, look what we did... Take one for the team. Hey B, he's all yours,' Emmanuel said, as Blaine walked over to Finn, a small smile on his face hands clasped in front of him

'Hey Blaine, what are you guys doing here?' Finn asked sarcastically

'Making you pay... Hey Jesse... we heard you like it rough... Have you met Elijah and Emmanuel? They're on our school's boxing team... oh, they have bats as well,' Blaine said, smirking at Finn, before he turned to walk back towards Wes and David.

Kurt and Cameron were in the middle of a study session when the Warblers burst into the room, cheering and yelling happily at their accomplishment. Wes had the whole thing recorded, which would have been hilarious to watch, if they weren't afraid of what Kurt would do if he saw Jesse on the tape. Blaine was the last to enter the room, walking over to his boyfriend, and kissing his cheek, earning a wink from Kurt, and a sarcastic gagging noise from Cameron, who thanked Kurt, and stood to watch the video Wes had set up. of course, none of them were too worried about the implications of their actions at McKinley, and the restraining order that Kurt had on his attackers only applied to him and Blaine, so it's not like the other Warblers caused any harm right?

Wes and David were laughing about something when it happened. Rachel Berry stormed into the common room, hands on her hips, as she walked over to Wes, David and Thad, demanding to see Kurt, who simply rolled his eyes, and stood, waiting for her to say something stupid so he could yell at her and then walk off. He hadn't meant for it to get so far, if he had of known what she was capable of, he wouldn't have said anything, but the threat was so dry, and just hung in the air, that Kurt didn't know how to react. He thought about calling Puck, but if he was back at McKinley, and the Warblers had been seen, then they could easily come here. Security had been increased since the start of the school year, so how Rachel got passed the guards was beyond Kurt. He was still waiting for her to say something else, or for one of his attackers to jump out from behind a door or something, but what she said was surprising...

'I've made alot of mistakes Kurt. One of them was, not believing you when you told me about Jesse and the others. I didn't want to believe it, because I'd thought he'd changed, obviously I was wrong. The second thing... I told Jesse where you go to school now...'

'WHAT?' Blaine yelled, standing

'I'm so sorry Kurt. I don't want anything to happen to you, but he's just so... Jesse and he threatened to give my solo to Mercedes and...

'Rachel, the day that Jesse comes here to kill me, is the day I am going to kill you... When you finally realise that the world doesn't revolve around you, come back and see me, because I'll be glad to knock some fucking sense into your little fucked up head. Oh, and by the way, if Jesse, Karofsky or Sebastian show up here, and hurt me, Blaine, or any of the Warblers, I will be holding you and all of ND personally responsible. Bye, bye Glee Club...' Kurt said, pushing past Rachel and leaving the room

Blaine found his boyfriend in the corner of their dorm room, dressed in sweat pants with no shirt on, clearly displaying the scars from the attack. He was shaking, pounding the wall with his fist... a coping mechanism... Blaine only wished that it didn't have to be physical. Dr. Paul's session was starting in an hour, and then the meeting with Mrs. Anderson, and Blaine was beginning to wonder if there would ever be a day, where he and Kurt would be free from all of this shit... free from everything that this place has done to them, and free from the pain and heartache that Blaine and Kurt endure every day. If their love can survive this, then it can survive anything, and damn it, Blaine is going to prove that to Kurt...

A/N: So, there it is. Let me know what you guys think. Didn't expect it to be Jesse did ya? Thanks.
