The Consequences of   

                 Your Choices

                Chapter 2 – Kurt's Reaction

          Blaine has been sitting outside the loft for an hour now so he finally decides to stand up because he is stiff. He stretches his aching muscles and brushes the dust off his shirt and pants. He takes a deep breath and gathers the courage he needs to knock on the door and hopeful have a conversation about the evenings events with Kurt.

          Kurt has been lying on his bed staring at the ceiling since he got back to the loft. His brain is trying to understand and figure out why Blaine would break his heart like this. Why wouldn't he talk to me if he was having a problem? We skype and talk almost every day. He should have said something. Wasn't Blaine the one who always said to talk to him if I had a problem? Maybe he never loved me and this was all a game for Blaine. Kurt's hurt was beginning to turning into anger. He had never felt this much anger towards any other person and he never thought he would ever feel this way towards Blaine. Right now all Kurt's wants to do is fall sleep because he is exhausted and his eyes hurt from all the tears he has shed. He simply wants this day to end, actually to have never happened. Kurt closes his eyes hoping tomorrow he will be able to think straight and see things in a different light. Unfortunately, before he can fall asleep he opens his eyes quickly because he hears three knocks against the door followed by a familiar voice. “Kurt, it's Blaine can we talk.” Blaine is outside the loft. “I can't deal with him now.” Kurt thinks. For a few seconds Kurt ponders what he wants to do, what he should do, but Kurt is not thinking correctly. Kurt's anger is in control of his emotions and him. Kurt makes a choice and heads to the door. On the floor next to the door he sees Blaine's overnight bag. It is still where Blaine set it when he arrived earlier. Kurt unlocks the door and slides it open. He looks sternly at Blaine and he holds up his right hand with his index finger pointing straight up sending the message to Blaine to just wait a minute.

          Kurt takes a deep breath and begins to talk, telling Blaine the following. “You mister have already spoken and you've made your choices or should I say bed, so you are going to have to lay in it. All you are going to do right now is listen to me. It's my turn to talk. Blaine, I am so mad at you, hurt by you and disappointed in you Blaine. There are no words that I can use to describe how I feel right now. There is no reason for cheating on me that I will accept so we are done. I can't believe you did this to me, to us. The Blaine I love would have never done this. You are not the person I love with all my heart anymore.” Kurt yells at Blaine as tears are running down both of their faces. Kurt bends down and grabs Blaine's overnight bag and throws it towards Blaine. “You are no longer welcome in my home. I want you to leave and never come back. We are finished and no longer friends. I hope over time to never think about you because I deserve better than you. The ironic part about this Blaine is you were the one who taught me that. You showed me that I am worth being loved, appreciated, and respected and to never accept anything less or let anyone mistreat me. So get out of my face Blaine, don't try to contact me, and I hope you have a miserable life. Oh, one more thing, I told you once that I would never so goodbye to you. Well Blaine Devon Anderson this is your goodbye, a final goodbye because I hope to never see you again.” Kurt slams the door closed, ending this chapter of his life he thinks.

          Blaine drops to the floor trying to absorb the words Kurt just said to him. He stays there on the floor trying to figure out his options when Rachel and Finn walk down the hall. Rachel quickly runs over to Blaine to see if he is alright. Blaine explains that Kurt has broken up with him because he was unfaithful and told him to leave. “Blaine, let me talk to Kurt because you can't leave tonight because it is late and too dangerous out there.” Blaine whispers, “Okay,” as he shakes his head up and down. As Rachel starts to stand the door slides open quickly and Kurt appears with the bouquet of red roses in his hands that Blaine had given him. “I don't want these either. I can't be bought off that easy Blaine.” Kurt yells as he throws the roses at Blaine and returns inside the loft. The roses hit Blaine in the face and Blaine winces as the thorns scratch his face causing his face to start bleeding.  Rachel finds some tissue in her purse and hands them to Blaine to help stop the bleeding. “Stay here Blaine while I go and try to talk some sense into Kurt. Come on Finn, I might need your help.” Rachel and Finn enter the loft and slide the door closed so they can talk to Kurt without Blaine hearing.

          After being pulled off his bed by Rachel and Finn, Kurt enters the living room shouting “I don't want to see him Rachel. He doesn't deserve any favors from us.”  Rachel tries to calm Kurt by saying. “Kurt, I know you are upset and angry with Blaine and I am too. You have every right to be furious with him, I get it.  Kurt, we can't just leave him out in the hall all night.” Kurt disagrees loudly talking towards the door so Blaine will hear him. “He belongs out on the curb. That is where trash is supposed to be. Besides Rachel, I don't want him in my home and this is my loft.” Rachel looks at Kurt with sympathy but says. “I know you are upset Kurt but it is after midnight and it is not safe for anyone to be wandering around this neighborhood at this time of night. Besides, this is my loft too Kurt and he is a friend. Yes, he did something stupid I agree but he doesn't have anywhere to go and you are not the kind of person who would turn your back on someone you know who needs a place to stay. Listen, he can sleep on the couch for now and then in the morning I will make sure he is headed to the airport before you get up. You won't even have to see him if you don't want to.” Kurt puts his head down and just sobs loudly. He sobs because of a broken heart and exhaustion. Rachel and Finn move to sit on either side of him on the couch and hold him close, telling him they are there for him. Kurt finally stops crying. He takes a deep breath and says, “Okay, he can sleep on the couch but I am going to be in my room.”

          Blaine was waiting out in the hall waiting outside the loft. He heard Kurt call him trash and it hurt Blaine's feelings badly but he thought he deserved it because of what he had done to Kurt. Blaine decides he needs to leave and abide by Kurt's wishes. He figured it's the least he could do. He decides to either ride the subway for the night or grab a taxi and go wait in the airport until he can get on a flight back to Lima. Before he leaves though, he opens his bag and takes out a notebook and a pencil. He decides to writes a letter to Kurt, a goodbye letter to Kurt. This letter will be his final opportunity to share his thoughts with Kurt because after tonight he will probably never see Kurt again.

          Blaine writes his letter to Kurt expressing his thoughts that he never got a chance to tell him. As tears run down Blaine's face and onto the paper he hears Kurt sobbing because of his broken heart, the heart that Blaine broke. Blaine folds the letter in half and writes “For Kurt” on top of it, then seals it with a kiss. He places it in front of the door and then he gently sets a single red rose on top of it. He hopes Kurt will read the letter and maybe one day will find it in his heart to forgive him. Blaine turns around and picks up his bag and the rest of the red rose bouquet. He heads down the hall knowing his life has changed forever.

          Rachel and Finn get Kurt settled in his bed and pull the curtain shut. Rachel goes to the door and pulls it open so Blaine can come in. “Blaine, I sorry it took so long but Kurt agreed to let you sleep on the couch, Blaine, Blaine?” Rachel sees an empty hall, with no sign of Blaine. “Blaine, where are you? Where did you go?” She asks before looking down and seeing a paper that says, “To Kurt” on it and a single red rose. She picks them up and whispers, “Oh Blaine, be safe my friend and have a good life.” She closes the door and turns the locks before placing the letter and single rose on the kitchen table. She will make sure Kurt gets them in the morning.
