Thank you pinball62 and terribear62 for the story alert, ColferFan1217 for the story alert and favorite story add AND Cassiopeia's Lounge for the story alert and author alert add.

Temarifan9622- thank you! I'm actually pretty happy with the way the previous chapter came out (though I can't take all the credit as the kiss dialogue is from the show- save for a few different words).

ColferFan1217- I'm glad you've enjoyed what you read so far- thanks for taking the time to read it :)

Ahlisa- I hear what you're saying, this isn't the first time I've gotten this comment. Guess I'm just not sure I can write better than Ryan Murphy- but I'll try

Also, after receiving another review about the dialogue and personalities, I'm taking a risk and changing things up. Hope it works out.

When Blaine got up that morning, it took a moment to remember everything that had happened. It came rushing back and all the air rushed out of Blaine's lungs in a whoosh. The kiss was bad but it was giving Blaine the chance to see Kurt again...they were going to confront Karofsky- Blaine's heart sped up again.

"This is going to be bad." Blaine stated to the empty room.

He got out of bed and decided that he was going to focus on seeing Kurt again. This of course caused a whole different kind of panic: I'm seeing Kurt again- oh god what am I going to wear?

Blaine spent for too long picking put his outfit and getting his hair just right. In reality, it was more Blaine working hard to forget what was going to happen. Just because Blaine finally knew why Karofsky was tormenting him, didn't remove the fear he still felt every time he thought of the guy.

The rest of the day went by in a blur- every time Blaine seemed to blink he was in another location: his kitchen, his car, the hallway, in front of his locker, his first class, the next class and so on. Blaine knew he should be paying attention but he just couldn't seem to focus on anything...and it wasn't long before others began to notice.

"What is up with you?" Tina asked as she, Blaine and Mercedes walked towards Glee club- the last class before the end of the day and everything that came with it.

"Just...didn't get a lot of sleep last night. Guess, I've been pretty out of it." Blaine replied.

"Mmm hmm." Mercedes responded not entirely believing her friend.

She knew Blaine- there was something on his mind that he wasn't sharing. However, she also knew that her friend was stubborn and if he didn't feel like sharing there wasn't much she could do.

"I can't believe the boys did that." Blaine said once the Mr. Schuester dismissed everyone from glee club early (lucky for me I suppose thought Blaine)

He knew that sometimes it was hard to...cool off once you're all heated up- but to imagine your football coach in compromising positions? He couldn't blame her when she had decided to quit- he couldn't imagine what she had to be thinking/feeling.

"At least their going to make it up to her." Mercedes said. "Or at least try."

"At least the songs we originally intended to do fit. Granted, now they have a whole new meaning but they still work." Blaine replied as they stopped at Mercedes' locker.

"Gonna tell me what songs you're doing?" Mercedes asked, wondering out of all the songs the boys could sing in an attempt to apologize/make it up to Coach Beiste, which ones were they going to choose.

"Nope." Blaine said as they stopped at his locker. He began to change out books for the rest of his day and then closed it. "It's still boys vs.-" Blaine began but was interrupted by his phone vibrating in his pocket- repeatedly. "Hello?" Blaine replied, even though his caller ID let him know it was Kurt

Mercedes looked confused- Blaine hardly ever got phone calls in school and it was even rarer for him to pick them up.

"Hey, I'm parked outside." Kurt said. "I'm looking at the flag pole- take it that's the front."

"Yeah, it is. I'll be out in a minute to collect you." Blaine said, his breathing becoming more shallow.

"I'll start heading toward the door. See you in a minute." Kurt replied than hung up.

Blaine stared at his phone for a moment and wondered for the thousandth time that day- what the hell am I thinking?

"Who was that?" Mercedes asked after watching the blood drain from Blaine's face.

"Kurt. I gotta go Cedes." Blaine said, slinging his bag on his shoulder.

"Uh...okay. Talk to you later?" Mercedes said wondering what it was about seeing Kurt that had gotten her composed friend so unhinged.

"Bye." Blaine said then set off.

He felt bad leaving Mercedes in the dark but he didn't want her getting involved with this confrontation. He was trying so hard to keep himself from freaking out, that he hadn't even noticed he was outside until he heard Kurt's greeting-

"Hey Blaine."

Blaine's head snapped up to look at Kurt. He seemed...okay. Not the chipper self Blaine had come expect but he clearly was not as nervous Blaine was.

"Hi Kurt." Blaine said, smiling regardless of just how nervous he was feeling.

"How about we find the ass and then I take you out for coffee?" Kurt said, realizing that Blaine still hadn't made a move to lead them towards the could find Karofsky.

"Alright, we'll head toward the back staircase cause I know his locker is at the end of that hallway."

"Lead the way." Kurt responded.

Blaine forced himself to put one foot in front of the other. He knew it had been his idea to stage this...intervention but that didn't change the fact that hundreds of scenarios were rushing through his head- all of them ending badly.

The two walked in silence until they reached the base of the staircase Blaine knew Karofsky was going to come down.

"I-I don't know if we should do this." Blaine said suddenly, cursing how he was feeling. He didn't have the courage that Kurt was so desperately was trying to elicit from him.

"I got this." Kurt said with a vaguely reassuring smile. "Just let me do all the talking okay?"

"Okay." Blaine said and they walked up a few steps. "That's him." Blaine whispered and he felt his heart beat speed up.

"Deep breaths." Kurt said before striding up to Karofsky and politely saying- "Excuse me."

Karofsky froze but a smirk came over his face as he surveyed Kurt. Blaine knew that Karofsky had jumped to a quick (but correct) assumption that Kurt was gay too.

"Hey fairies." He sneered. "This your little gay boyfriend Blaine?"

Blaine remained silent, fear had frozen his vocal cords.

"The two of us would like to talk to you." Kurt said, ignoring what Karofsky had said, hoping against hope that he would cooperate.

"How about no?" Karofsky said. "I have to get to practice."

Karofsky shoved Blaine into the railing. Something flashed in Kurt's eyes and he followed Karofsky down a step or two.

"Blaine told me what happened in the locker room."

Karofsky froze but quickly recovered and turned around to face them-

"Oh yeah? What did he say happened?"

"You kissed me." Blaine said- the first thing he had said during this entire conversation. "And then you leaned in for another."

Karofsky looked panicked, glancing around to see if others had heard what was being said.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Look, I know that you're confused and maybe even a little scared." Kurt said pursuing after Karofsky. "It's completely normal- and I understand its hard to come to terms with- but we just wanted to let you know that you're not alone."

Time slowed down in that instant. Karofsky panicked, they had pushed him too far. Blaine watched as Karofsky charged at Kurt and practically tackled him.

Blaine didn't think he meant to slam Kurt that hard (into a metal support column to make things worse)- but fear and anger does strange things to people.

There was a sickening crack when Kurt's head snapped against the metal. He slid to the floor, his body limp.

There was a second where all Karofsky and Blaine could do was stare in disbelief before time caught up itself.

"KURT!" Blaine yelled rushing forward. He saw Kurt was moving and that blood was beginning to mar Kurt's porcelain skin. "Someone call 911!" He shouted.

Blaine quickly yanked the cheap scarf he had been wearing from around his neck and tried to press it against Kurt's head without moving him as much as possible.

"Kurt." Blaine said, staring at his angels face. "Kurt, open your eyes if you can hear me." Blaine received no response. "Kurt, please." Blaine begged. "Kurt, you need to wake up."

Blaine repeated those words over and over again, trying to ignore how wet his scarf was becoming. It wasn't long before the EMTs had shown up (Blaine never did find out who called them) and he had to tell them what happened.

"A- a guy shoved him against the metal there. There was a crack when his head hit the column and he slid down limp and not con-conscious."

"It's okay son, we can take it from here." The EMT said gently and it was then Blaine realized how close he was to Kurt and how he was still holding his now bloodied scarf against his head.

Blaine stepped away and watched as the EMTs did there evaluation and loaded Kurt onto a stretcher. Blaine began to follow, instinctively, but was brought up short.

"You can't ride with him son, only family." He said.

"But his family is two hours away!" Blaine shouted. "He doesn't go to this school- they don't even know he's here." Blaine replied, he could see the EMT thinking about it. "Please." He said, tears starting to form. Kurt was being rushed to the hospital and it was all his fault.

"Fine but you're calling his parents- in the ambulance." He said and they started to move.

Blaine rushed off behind them but at the last moment he turned around- Karofsky was nowhere to be found.
