Blaine, Puck, Finn and Wes were just at their next stop. It did have a sign with a bird called Ohio Motels, but Wes found that there were still 5 motels in the areas with birds on the signs, so it still might not be it. The next on the list was called 'Pavoratti hotel' which is ironic since Kurt looks after Pavoratti.

"How will Kurt even know who we are if he doesn't know what's going on?" Finn asked when they were driving.

That's what has been nagging Blaine the most. He worried that Kurt wouldn't know them.

"We'll get to that when it comes to that part, we just need to see if he's okay first and get him home," Wes responded.

"I hate that this is happening," Puck mentioned finally. He had been the most quiet out of the group, and Blaine hadn't expected that. He was sitting with Puck in the back. He reached over and put an arm on Puck's shoulder. "Kurt knows you're a good guy underneath all that attitude you know," Blaine insisted. He remembered Kurt telling him about the old days of how Puck used to throw him in the dumpsters but has stopped once he got to know the boy. He wondered if he was feeling guilty about all the harsh treatments and felt the need to reassure him.

Puck glared at him but couldn't find it in himself to fight back with venom like he normally did. He just sighed. "I want him safe man, he's had enough shit to deal with,"

Blaine nodded in agreement.

"I want him safe too Puck,"

"Do you love him?" Finn asked from the front.

Puck told him of but Blaine said it was fine.

"You know what Finn….I think that's a conversation I need to have with Kurt,"

"So you love him," Puck nodded in understanding. He offered Blaine a smile turning his head to the right where Blaine was turning crimson.

"I didn't say that," He stuttered. It's not that he didn't love Kurt, he wanted that to be a special moment for him and Kurt, he didn't want something like this to be the cause of him saying it, and he especially didn't want them to find out before he figured out what had been going on in his head all these months.

"But we know you're thinking it," Wes called from the front.

"Hey, I thought you were supposed to be the responsible one around here not encouraging this inappropriate conversation"

"Hey it's okay, Kurt likes you too you know," Finn didn't let Wes answer.

There was silence for a moment as Blaine groaned. "Where are you Kurt?"

One thing for sure, he didn't function properly without Kurt.


"Still nothing yet?" Carole asked returning home from her shift. She came as soon as Burt said he needed her. Burt was pacing the kitchen and fiddling with his mobile in his hand staring at it like it was going to ring any second.

"They've had a call from Kurt. Well Rachel did. Rachel told Finn who told the other boys. Apparently he doesn't know where he is, and what happened and Rachel said he sounded so confused, but he's alive Carole and that's all that matters to me right now, and the boys are driving to all the motels in the area,"

"See Burt, I told you to never give up hope,"

"I want him home Carole, I want him safe,"

"I know honey, but the boys are doing the best they can to make that happen. You know they are, now sit down Burt, I'll make you a sandwich"

"I can't eat,"

"Nonsense, do you think Kurt would want you to starve over worry for him?"

"I guess not,"

"Then you have no options, sit down or I'll feed you like a baby," Burt cracked a small smile. The first she had seen since Kurt has been said to be missing.

"What would I do without you Carole?"


The first stop so far with the bird was a disaster, an old lady had chased after them with a stick thinking they were going to steal money from her, but she wouldn't listen when they tried to explain they were looking for their friend.

They had run to the car and slammed the doors shuts behind them breathing fast.

"Well that was pleasant," Wes mumbled still panting and getting ready to turn the engine on.

"I had a bad feeling about that place," Puck added with a shudder "She hit me on the back with that stick the fucking c-"

Blaine hissed at him to be quiet when his mobile rang. Kurt's number popped up and his heart was pounding incredibly fast when he answered straight away.

"Blaine?"


Early that morning while the boys where on the road, Sebastian and Kurt faced another day together

"Are you sure you're going to be okay?" Blaine asked Kurt who was staring at Blaine with a forced smile "Of course! I won't leave the room, I'll just read the vogue magazines I saw on the table and watch some television,"

"And don't forget the cheesecake in the fridge," The other boy added and Kurt laughed lightly "Of course I won't, thank you. Have fun at school okay and don't WORRY about me, I'll be fine,"

"Okay…of course you will, I won't stay for longer than I have to, I should be back by 4:30,"

"Okay," Kurt agreed. The boy was about to leave but then he thought better of it and walked over to Kurt. He leaned down and kissed him on the cheek softly. "Have a good day Kurt," His hand went to his cheek as he watched Blaine leave. Blaine smiled at him briefly before shutting the door behind him wearing his Dalton uniform as he headed out.

Kurt was gaping as he nodded. "You too Blaine…"

Or should I really call you that? He wondered.

As soon as he left. Kurt waited for 20 minutes. Just to be on the safe side. Like before he went to the toilet but first wanted to check something. His mobile had internet. He forgot about that, but he was starting to remember small details like that.

Last night he dreamed of a boy turning on a staircase and running down the hall, but this boy had black hair not brown like whoever that Blaine was.

He looked down his contact numbers and found Blaine Anderson written in the contacts.

He searched In the Facebook App that he noticed he had; Blaine Anderson.

One came up in hiss friends list. It was the same boy he could remember in his mind just vaguely.

Whoever was saying he was Blaine was lying.

He was being fooled.

With shaking hands he returned back to his contacts and pressed call on Blaine's name,

There was only one way to find out.

"Blaine?" He asked when there no response for a minute.

"Kurt..."

A flashback occurred

"My name's Blaine..."

"Kurt.."

Kurt gasped at the memory. It was only small but it was something. He remembered SOMETHING.

"Kurt...KURT you there?"

"Blaine.." He choked.

"Hey...are you okay?"

"No...no I'm not okay,"
