Sacrifice for a Loved One

                                   Chapter 1 - Breaking a Heart

       Blaine is in his room listening to music as he lies on his bed looking forward to Graduation and his future with Kurt. “Blaine,” his Father called from downstairs. “Yes Dad,” he answers. “Can you come down here? I need to talk to you.” his Dad asks. Blaine heads downstairs to find his Father and see what he wants. “Dad?” he yells. “In the study.” His Dad says. Blaine walks into the study and sees his Father sitting behind his desk. His Father lifts his head and sees Blaine. “Blaine I am making some plans for work and I need to know your schedule for the rest of this week thru Graduation. “Okay,” Blaine says. “I have classes until Thursday. Friday I don't have school but I do have glee club practice at 1:00 and I need to be back at school by 6:00 to get ready for the Graduation Ceremony.” Blaine reminds his Father. “What are you doing in the ceremony?” his Father asks. “I have to give a speech because I am the class President and then the glee club in performing. After Graduation Kurt and I are going to Artie's party. On Saturday I'm having my Open House and my family and friends will be coming here. Then Kurt and I will be heading for New York on June 15th. So that is my schedule until I leave. Would you like me to write it down for you? Blaine suggests. “No, I think I've got it. Blaine, are you glad you left Dalton Academy and transferred to McKinley?” his Father asks. Blaine answers thinking that is a strange question, “Yes I am. This year started out tough when Kurt left. Then it really sucked when I hurt Kurt and we broke up. The shooting at school was really scary. But through it all I found some really good friends that I will have for a lifetime. I know they will stand by me through ups and downs and support me always. And because of McKinley I have Kurt, the love of my life.” William says,” You seem very happy and I am glad to see that.” “Thanks Dad. Can I go now I have some practicing I need to do?” Blaine asks. “Sure I won't hold you up any longer.” William answers. “Dad, I haven't said it enough but thanks for all the things you have done for me and the sacrifices you have made, I really appreciate it.” Blaine says. “You're welcome son, but I just did what a Father does for his child.” Blaine walks toward his Father and hugs him tightly saying, “I love you.” He lets go and is off to practice.

William goes to his desk and takes out a phone from the top drawer. He dials a number he has memorized and it starts to ring. A man answers, “Yes William, what can I do for you?” “It's about the evacuation. Are you sure it needs to be done? I am very concerned how this is going to affect Blaine.” William laments. “At this moment it looks like we are still a go. Look William, I know he might be upset and miserable for awhile but at least he won't be in danger or worse, dead.” the man says. “I understand, I just feel bad for him.” He says. “We are allowing him to participate in Graduation, be grateful. You would have been evacuated already if I had my way.” The man reminds him. “I understand and I will have a talk with him about it soon.” William says as he accepts the inevitable. “Call me back later with a report,” the man requests. “Yes sir,” William answers as he returns the phone to his desk and sits down. He puts his head in his hands and cries. He knows he will soon destroy his son.

The next day Blaine was busy at school when he gets a text from his Father. It says to be home by 4:00 because he needs to talk to him. It makes Blaine wonder what was going on but he doesn't have time to worry about it now because he is heading to glee club for rehearsal. After which follows Graduation practice which includes him rehearsing his speech. With his school day complete Blaine is rushing home to find out what is going on.

William was waiting for Blaine to get home not looking forward to the conversation. William saw Blaine arrive and heard him come into the house. Blaine walks into the study and says, “Hi Dad, only two more days until I graduate!” Blaine says proudly with anticipation for Graduation. “I got your text. You want to talk to me? Blaine asks. “Yes I do, will you please sit down. I need to tell you something that you cannot tell anyone.” William says. “I don't like the sound of this.” Blaine says as he sits down on the couch. “I want you to listen to me without talking until I am finished.” William tells Blaine and he agrees. “Ever since you were born you have seen me pack up to fly to some city for a meeting or conference because of my work for Jones, Smith, and Jones. The truth is I never worked for that law firm. I really work for the U.S. Government as a national security agent. “William says as Blaine snorts and doubles over in laughter pointing at his Father. As Blaine begins to get control over himself he looks at his Father and sees a look on his face that means he is serious. “Wait, you aren't laughing, you are serious about this. You're really a spy.” Blaine says as the realization sets in. “Yes, and recently we believe my cover was compromised. If that is true we will have to be relocated to a safe location. We will be given a new identity and our past will be erased.” William explained. Blaine is sitting frozen on the couch as his brain tries to comprehend what he just heard and understand all the ways this is going to affect him. “Exactly what are you trying to tell me Dad?” Blaine asks. “If the agency determines that my true identity has been discovered by the people I was assigned to gather evidence on we will be in extreme danger. Our lives could be in jeopardy. If this happens the agency will send agents here to relocate us immediately without warning and destroy any evidence that proves we even existed.” William says concerned for his son. “So they would take you and Mom away and I would never see you again? Blaine asks. “No Blaine, you will be able to see us because you will be coming too.” William clarified as he walks over to his son and joins him on the couch. “Will I be able to tell Kurt where I am?” Blaine asks with tears in his eyes because he fears the answer. “I'm sorry Blaine, you can't tell Kurt about this because it could put him and his family in danger.” William says as he tightly holds his son as he cries inconsolable on his Fathers shoulder. William's eyes fill with tears because he knows he just broke his son into a million pieces. Time passes with the two just holding each other until Blaine sits up and starts asking some questions to his Father. How long before we could return?” Blaine asks. “Let me explain, first we would be taken to a location under the protection of the agency. We would stay there until they feel the danger has past. Then we will be given new names and identities along with a past history that we will have for the rest of our lives.” William explains. “When I have my new identity can I come back and see my friends and be with Kurt?” Blaine asks needing to know. “Blaine,” his Father says as he takes his hands. “The agency discourages any contact with previous friends. It could put your new identity at risk of being compromised.” “I'm supposed to be going to NYADA.” He says. “You still might be able to go,” his Father says giving him a small flicker of hope. “But probably not.” Blaine says as he looks at his Father nodding his head up and down. “I'm sorry,” William whispers. “So my dreams of performing are gone,” Blaine realizes. “I'm so sorry.” William repeats. “Will I be able to graduate with my class? And don't say you are sorry.” Blaine says. “Yes, you will be graduating with your class. I promise you that.” William says as he hugs his son.

Blaine goes up to his bedroom to lie down on his bed and digest what he has just learned. “My life may be changing completely and I will have no say about it.” He thought. “I'm going to lose everything I have fought for my whole life. My dreams, my friends, and my true love and I didn't do anything except, be born.” He laments. “I can't do this. It's not fair. I won't lose everything. I have to come up with a plan to take control of my life.” Blaine decides and he begins to brainstorms possible solutions to his problem.

In the study William has taken out the phone in his desk to call the agency. “I just told him. I just told my son.” William said. “Are we going to have a problem with him if we have to relocate you guys?” the man from the agency asks. “I don't know.” William replies. “Are you still planning our relocation for after Graduation?” William asks. “So far that is the plan.” The agency confirms. “Any chance that the threat will pass and we will be left here? He asks. “It's not looking good. Our information shows your danger level increasing. We will be lucky if we can hold off until after Graduation.” The agency warns. “You can't come before Graduation! I promised him. I've taken his dreams I can't take his Graduation too!” William begs. “We will do our best.” The man from the agency says before ending the call and William puts the phone away and cries.
