Hey guys! So here is the next instalment of the story; sorry again for the delay. Just to let you know: Kurt, Blaine, Wes, and David are all juniors while Thad, Chad, Nick and Jeff are sophomores.

"Come on Kurt, you have to! Everyone is going to be there. The twins are letting us use their parent's private jet, and Wes's dad owns the lodge. If you don't come skiing with us, it just won't be the same."

"I will come with you to ask your dad. I'm there every weekend with you anyway. We both know he trusts me, and he loves the Warblers. Just ask him if you can go, please!"

David and Blaine had been pushing Kurt for the last hour to go on the Warbler ski trip. The trip would start on the first day of vacation and end a week later on the day before Christmas Eve. Kurt did want to go, but he was afraid of what his dad would say.

Fascinating Page Break

"...and we won't even have to pay for the jet because Thad and Chad's parents have a private one that they are letting us use. I have money saved up from my birthday, and all I really need to get is skiing equipment. The entire group is going, and we will be completely safe. Can I go?"

Burt smiled; it was nice to see Kurt so happy, and having so many friends. It was a long trip, but Burt trusted Kurt to stay safe. He would have his phone on him the whole time he was gone, but what could it hurt to let him go? "Welllllll...okay."

"I can go?" Kurt exclaimed.

Burt smiled. "You can go."

Kurt was now jumping up and down, squealing with excitement. "Thank you, thank you, thank you! I've got to call Blaine! I've got to go shopping! I need to call Mercedes and Rachel! As long as Rachel doesn't try to give me fashion advice. Oh I've got to go get ready. Thank you Dad!"

"I want you to call me every night." Burt really did want to let Kurt have his freedom on this trip, but he was still just a kid and Burt was his father.

"Okay Dad, I promise. Make sure you eat right while I'm gone. I don't want you to get a heart attack while I'm gone."

"Okay, okay, don't you worry about me. I will be fine. Now I think you have a few phone calls to make." Burt couldn't help but smile as Kurt ran from the room.

Burt was not a stupid man. He knew that there was more to the bullying than what Kurt told everyone. He also had the feeling that the Warblers knew what that unknown thing was. It was obvious that they protected their own, which was the biggest reason he allowed Kurt to go. Kurt wasn't going to be bullied if they had anything to say about it.

Hey guys, I know it's short but here it is. Just to let you know this is just before Christmas; Wes, David, Kurt and Blaine are all juniors; Thad and Chad are sophomores; all other characters will be introduced with their year. You guys still have time to vote bromance vs romance for Wes and David. You can lead this story. Thanks for reading!
