Blaine sighed. He looked at himself in the rear-view-mirror. He looked miserable. Blaine started the car and decided to drive to Dalton.
He tried listening to the radio as he drove, but it only made him cry more so he quickly turned it off, driving in silence.
It was Saturday so most of the students were visiting family or out with friends. Blaine walked into the Warbler's rehearsal room and sat down at the piano.
He trailed his fingertips along the ivory keys lightly, not pushing down. He closed his eyes and lifted his other hand above the keys before bringing them both down softly, pressing out a soft, familiar melody.
Blaine played the intro before singing the first lines.
You and me
We used to be together
Everyday together always
I really feel
That I'm losing my best friend
Blaine felt the tears threatening to spill over as he played, his voice wavering a bit.
I can't believe
This could be the end
It looks as though you're letting go
And it it's real,
Well I don't want to know..
Blaine's hands trembled as he sang the chorus.
Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me cause it hurts
The tears finally started slipping down his cheeks as his fingers came down on the keys with more passion.
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts..
He slowed down a bit, his voice growing soft again. Picturing the beautiful blue eyed boy who broke his heart as he sang.
Our memories
They can be inviting
But some are altogether
Mighty frightening
Wes was walking down the hallway when he heard a familiar voice. 'Blaine?' He thought. He walked closer, listening to the boy sing.
As we die, both you and I
With my head in my hands
I sit and cry
It's all ending
I gotta stop pretending who we are...
You and me
I can see us dying ... are we?
Blaine closed the song early, his voice shaking and unable to sing anymore.
Wes walked into the room and sure enough saw the curly haired boy perched on the piano bench.
Blaine heard footsteps and looked up to see Wes. "Hey..."
Wes sat next to Blaine on the piano bench. Blaine didn't even bother to wipe his tears.
"What are you doing here?" Wes asked softly.
Blaine shook his head. "I didn't know where to go."
"What happened to you man?" Wes asked, leaning forward to look at Blaine.
"A lot...Kurt proposed last weekend..." Blaine sighed. "And broke up with me last night..."
"Oh my God…I'm sorry Blaine.." Wes said, placing a hand on Blaine's shoulder.
"I just...He made me so happy..." Blaine said, choking on the last word.
Wes pulled Blaine into his arms as he started to cry.
"I'm...so...sorry, Wes..." Blaine sobbed, trying to get himself together.
"Don't be sorry Blaine.." Wes soothed.
"I was only trying to protect him..."
"What do you mean? Wes asked.
"That guy...The one I fought with..." Blaine began. "He said was going to come after Kurt..."
"Tell him that Blaine.."
"He doesn't want an explanation..."
"I'm so sorry.." Wes said softly.
Blaine shrugged. "I mean...It's kind of my fault for not telling Kurt that he followed me and all that but still...I just wanted him safe..."
Wes hugged Blaine again. "I know…It's gonna be okay.."
"Thank you..." Blaine said quietly.
It wasn't okay, it was awkward to even see each other across the hall. They didn't speak. It was worse in glee club, but Mr. Schuester knew better than to pair them up for anything. Kurt acted like Blaine didn't even exist most of the time. They spoke once about them and all Kurt had to say was, "People break up.." Here Blaine was, a month and a half later, still staring at the picture he had of them in his locker. The one of Kurt kissing his cheek. It always made him smile.
Brittany walked up to her friend and smiled at him. "Hey Blaine!" She said smiling.
"Hey Britt..." Blaine said quietly. He had been doing a little better. He pretty much only talked to Britt but at least he was talking now.
"I brought you a smoothie!" She said cheerfully. She knew better than to bring him coffee anymore considering how it reminded him of Kurt and their first date.
Blaine smiled up at the tall blond. "Thank you! I could so use that right now.."
Brittany smiled as she handed Blaine the smoothie. Then she saw Kurt out of the corner of her eye. Walking with him Blaine didn't know about him yet.. She thought quickly on her feet and pulled a book out of her bag. "Blaine, could you explain this book to me?" She asked.
"Brittany...this is The Cat in The Hat.." Blaine said.
"It's so confusing.."
Blaine started to explain the book to Brittany. If it weren't for her, he would have gone completely insane. Blaine looked up to see if Brittany understood what he was saying. Then he saw them. Kurt was with some guy. A guy Blaine had never seen before. He was tall, had fare skin, red hair, piercing blue eyes and as they got closer, Blaine could see a tint of green in his eyes. The boy wore tight black skinny jeans that showed off his slender, perfectly shaped hips a V neck shirt, an open vest, and what the hell? Really? A beanie? Blaine eyed him up and down until his eyes focused on the boy's hand. He was holding Kurt's hand. Blaine was pretty sure he felt his heart rip in half.
Brittany stepped in front of Blaine. "Blaine, the uh…The book!" She said, trying to direct his attention away.
Blaine looked up at her. "W-who is that?"
"Who?" She asked, trying to act clueless as the two stopped at the taller boy's locker.
"Britt...You know who I'm talking about..." Blaine said seriously. "I'll find out one way or another. I'd rather hear it from my best friend..."
Brittany sighed. "That's Silas Greenway.." She said. "He's been going here for a while, but only came out last month.."
Blaine leaned back against his locker, closing his eyes. "Are they dating?"
"Since last week.."
Blaine let out a deep breath and nodded his head.
He looked over at the two. What did Kurt see in him? He didn't seem like a guy Kurt would go for.. He couldn't watch anymore as Silas leaned forward, giving Kurt a small kiss, causing him to blush furiously.
Blaine had secretly been hoping Kurt would change his mind and come back to him. But seeing Kurt with another guy completely broke his heart. "I...I'm gonna leave early..."
"Blaine.." Brittany said softly. "I'm so sorry.."
"Will you come with me?" Blaine asked. "I don't want to be alone..."
Brittany nodded, grabbing Blaine's hand. Kurt looked across the hall and caught Blaine's eyes by mistake.
Blaine looked at Kurt with tears in his eyes but refusing to let them fall. He squeezed Britt's hand and walked faster.
Kurt stared at Blaine for a minute before looking back up at his boyfriend, who noticed his gaze.
"Who's that?" Silas asked Kurt. "Are you alright?"
"Just...A guy from glee club...I'm fine." Kurt said, grabbing Silas's hands.
Silas knew there was more to the story but didn't want to bother Kurt. "Alright. Did you still want to get coffee after you're doing with glee?"
"Yeah.." He said smiling and standing on his toes to kiss Silas.
Silas brought a hand up to brush across Kurt's flushed cheek. "You're adorable."
Kurt smiled. "Do you wanna go to a movie tonight instead?"
Silas smiled. "I'd love that."
That night, Brittany sat with Blaine in his room, holding him close as he cried softly on her chest like he had been for hours.
"He said he loved me..." Blaine sobbed.
"I know Blaine..I know.." She soothed, stroking his curls.
Blaine cuddled closer. "What did I do wrong?"
"Nothing..." She whispers.
"Why is he with him?" Blaine asked. "That's not even his type..."
"I don't know Blaine...I'm sorry.."
Blaine cried softly in Brittany's arms. "I'm sorry, Britt."
"Don't be sorry Blaine, You didn't do anything wrong.." She soothed.
"I should be over it..." Blaine sniffled. "But I still love him...I still have his ring..."
"It's okay Blaine…I understand.." Brittany said.
Blaine sat up, taking deep breaths to slow his tears.
Brittany rubbed circles on his back. "Let's go somewhere tonight...Let’s go see a scary movie...It'll take your mind off of it.."
Blaine smiled at Britt. "You like scary movies?"
She smiled back, wiping his tears with her thumbs. "Yeah..Let's go see something gory.."
Blaine giggled. "Alright. Sounds good. Kurt never liked them so I haven't seen one in a long time."
"Come on…Let's get ready." She said standing.
Blaine got up and took a quick shower. He tamed his hair with some of Britt's gel and got dressed in a tight but not too tight pair of light blue jeans and a tightly fitting long sleeved shirt that clung to his abs nicely. He hadn't been dressing as nice lately so Blaine figured he do this for himself.
Brittany fixed her hair and makeup before looking up at Blaine. "You ready?"
"Yes ma'am!" Blaine smiled, locking hands with her.
After the movie they walked out together, smiling. "So you feel better?" Brittany asked.
"Much," Blaine said happily.
Kurt and Silas walked out of the movies hand in hand. "Well that was good.." Kurt says smiling.
"I definitely enjoyed it!" Silas beamed. "Especially being able to hold your hand through it."
Kurt giggled, smiling. They walked to Kurt's car and Silas pulled Kurt close, pushing him against the door. Kurt smiled up at his boyfriend, wrapping his arms around Silas's neck.
Silas leaned in, kissing Kurt's jaw and moving to his neck.
Kurt gasped lightly, pulling Silas closer.
Silas gave a slight moan, running his hands down Kurt's sides and resting at his hips.
Kurt turned his head, meeting lips with him and giving a light moan.
Brittany looked over in the dark parking lot and saw the two against the car. She linked arms with Blaine, speeding up their steps.
"Why are you walking so fast?" Blaine asked. "You have long legs! I can't keep up," he giggled.
"Yeah, just come on.." She said, hoping Blaine wouldn't look back.
Blaine pulled her to a stop. "What's going on? Tell me!"
Brittany bit her lip and her eyes went to Kurt and Silas.
Blaine saw her gaze and looked in the same direction. His heart sank. "Oh..."
"Come on Blaine.." She said, grabbing his hand.
Kurt moaned lightly until he felt Silas's hands drifted to his ass. "Silas…Wait.." Kurt said softly.
"Come on...That doesn't feel good?" Silas asked coyly.
"It's not that it's just...Silas stop.." Kurt said calmly as he squeezed again, pulling their hips closer together.
Blaine heard Kurt trying to get the guy to stop. He knew it was none of his business but he couldn't resist. He ran over, pulling Silas off. "He said stop!"
Kurt looked over and saw Blaine pulling Silas off of him, he couldn't help but be a little relieved.
"Who the fuck are you?" Silas snapped.
"I'm nobody." He shot a look at Kurt. "But people can clearly hear him telling you to stop, so lay off. Fuck."
"Since when is it any of your business what I do with my boyfriend?" Silas huffed, stepping up to Blaine.
"Since he's telling you to fucking stop but you won't let him! I don't care who it is! No one deserves that shit!" Blaine said, stepping into Silas' face.
Silas pushed Blaine, "Why don't you just mind your own fucking business?"
Blaine caught himself and went to push Silas but Brittany pulled him back. "Britt! Let go!" Blaine yelled.
"Blaine, No, stop! You don't know what you're doing!" Brittany said, holding back Blaine.
Blaine looked back at Kurt. "This is fucking ridiculous. This isn't you!"
Kurt's breath caught in his throat as he looked into Blaine's eyes. "Blaine..I." he trailed off.
"Don't. Don't try to fix it now." Blaine said loudly. "You know what? Did you even think about asking me why I was like that? Because when we were alone, you didn't say a fucking thing! Something was obviously wrong. I needed you. But I was scared!"
Kurt stared at Blaine. "Blaine, I'm so-" but he cut him off.
"No. I don't want to hear it." Blaine turned, linking hands with Brittany as he walked away.
Kurt stared after Blaine with tears in his eyes. Silas looked at his boyfriend, confused.
"Who the hell was that?" Silas asked, taking Kurt into his arms.
"Don't worry about it.." Kurt said in barely a whisper as a tear slipped down his cheek.
"Is he an ex?" Silas asked calmly.
"Y-Yeah.." Kurt said, looking down.
Silas took a deep breath. "I'm sorry for freaking out. Do you want to talk about it?"
"No.." Kurt said simply, turning to the car.
Silas nodded, sliding in next to Kurt.
When Kurt got home that night he used a number in his phone he hadn't in a while.
"I'm sorry.." was all it read. He didn't expect a reply or response. But it was sent.
Blaine stared at the text for a while, not knowing what to do. But the more he sat there, the more anger went through him. "For what? I'm the one that did it right? You didn't do a thing."
"I was wrong. I just want you to forgive me."
"Kurt. You proposed to me. You threw it all away. When you gave me your ring, it broke my heart. And now you're with some guy that's pressuring you into stuff, that isn't you. So if this is the new you, I want no part of it."
Kurt didn't know what to say. He didn't love Silas, and it took him until tonight to realize how wrong he was.
"I'm sorry.."
"Do you even realize that all you're doing is saying sorry? I told you earlier that I needed you. And you still just say sorry..."
"Because I am, I know I hurt you and seeing you tonight, still protecting me even after what I did to you, it made me realize how wrong I was.."
"Why don't you understand? I get it! You're sorry. But I'm sitting here practically begging you to ask me what happened but you're ignoring it."
"There's really no use for explanations anymore.."
"Fine."
"I miss you.."
"This isn't fair, Kurt."
"Why do you say that?"
"Because if this was reversed, I would sit down and listen to anything you had to say. No, talking about what happened might not fix what I went through. But holding it in makes it worse. And hearing you say it doesn't matter, the reason YOU broke my heart doesn't matter...it kills me..."
"Please call me...We'll talk about it Blaine."
"No. I want to see you."
"Where?"
"I'm at Brittany's. I don't care where."
"The Park?"
"I'll meet you there."
Blaine looked up at Brittany and told her he was meeting Kurt. "I promise I'll come back this time."
"Be careful Blaine.." She said softly.
"I will, Britt. If I need anything, I'll call you." Blaine said with a small smile.
She smiled back as he walked out of the door.
Kurt made it to the park before Blaine. He sat on a swing, looking at the ground as he held the chains on either side of him.
Blaine saw Kurt and took a deep breath. He knew this would be difficult but he had to try to be strong. He slowly walked up to Kurt.
"Hi..."
Kurt looked up at Blaine. "Hey.." He said softly.
Blaine sat on the empty swing not knowing what to say or how to begin.
"So what happened?"
"I know I acted wrong. But I was scared something was going to happen to you..." Blaine said, staring at the ground. "Karofsky followed me into the bathroom that Monday after you proposed..."
"What did he say?” Kurt asked. He forgot how nice it was to hear Blaine's voice, despite the circumstances.
"He hated that we were together...He pushed me into the wall until I fell..." Blaine could still feel the fear from that day. "He told me to stay down or he'd come after you. I didn't want you to get mad and go to him. So I just got close to you. I didn't realize how close I was but I just had to keep you safe..."
Kurt stared at Blaine. He knew he was wrong but he didn't realize how wrong he was until now.
Blaine still didn't look at Kurt. "I didn't mean to make you feel suffocated...I just didn't want him near you..."
"I'm so sor-" Kurt caught himself. He knew Blaine had had enough of the apologies.
"It's fine." Blaine said quietly. "You moved on."
Kurt looked down. "How are you?.."
"I've been better...I've been pretty much torturing myself..." Blaine sighed. Being next to Kurt made him want to open up again. "I keep your ring with me..."
"Really...Why?" Kurt asked, looking over at Blaine.
"Wishing I could take it all back. Wanting you to realize it was me you wanted...I wasn't lying when I said you were the only one for me..." Blaine said, fighting the tears. "But I guess I need to move on..."
Kurt's eyes stayed glued to Blaine's. "I'm sorry Blaine...B-but I'm with Silas now.." Kurt whispered at the end.
"I know." Blaine said curtly.
"I'm sorry.." He said for what seemed like the millionth time that night. A tear slipped down his cheek as he quickly looked away.
"When you do realize he's not me, I can't promise that I will still be here...I can only wait for so long..." Blaine said, letting the tears fall silently.
Kurt looked over at Blaine. "What makes you think I'll leave him?..."
"He's the first guy you've had since me. It won't last. I'm positive that I was made for you and you for me." Blaine said matter-of-factly. "But in the end, it's your choice. But anyone can see, even if it isn't me, he's not the one for you."
"He...He makes me happy.." Kurt whispered mostly to himself. 'Not as happy as Blaine did..' a voice in the back of his head said. He pushed it back quickly.
"I still believe what I just said. But who knows. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe you didn't really love me..." Blaine said, wiping the tears away as he stood. "I love you...I'm sorry it wasn't enough..."
Kurt looked up at Blaine with desperate eyes. He did love him, he loved him so much. He still loved him.
"Just...Do what makes you happy..." Blaine choked out before slowly walking away.
Kurt watched Blaine leave with a new hole punched in his heart.
Once Blaine was in his car, he rested his head on the steering wheel and let the tears fall.
He felt even worse than the night Kurt left him. What if Kurt really was happier with Silas? Blaine didn't understand. Kurt would never be with someone like Silas. Kurt was too good for him. He belonged with Blaine. He sat back in his seat and looked at the silhouette of Kurt, who was still on the swing, looking over at the car. All Blaine wanted was for Kurt to see what he had and run to Blaine to make it all right. But he knew it would happen. Silas wasn't right for him and Blaine knew Kurt knew it. Blaine started the car and pulled out of the park quickly, anger boiling up in his stomach as he drove quickly. He drove back to Britt's and sent her a text.
"I'm outside. Can we walk?"
"Yep, comin out now."
Brittany stepped out of the house and walked up to Blaine immediately taking his hand.
Blaine let out a deep breath he didn't know he was holding. "I guess it's really over..."
Brittany pulled Blaine into her arms, holding him tightly.
Blaine held back his tears. "I just...I need to move on..."
"I'm so sorry Blaine.." She whispered.
"It's not your fault, Britt. But thank you," Blaine said calmly.
"Come on, let’s get you inside, you don't need to be out here." She said, leading him inside.
After school everyone met up in glee club, like usual, But Blaine needed to get something off of his chest. He looked over at Kurt who was chatting happily with Mercedes and Tina.
Blaine stood up. "Mr. Schue, I'd like to sing something..."
Mr. Schue looked up at Blaine. "Yeah, Go ahead Blaine.."
Blaine walked to the front of the class, looking at the floor as he started to sing.
The piano behind him started to play a slow tune and Blaine let his eyes slipped closed.
I heard
That you're settled down
That you
Found a boy
And you're
Married now
I heard
That your dreams came true.
Guess he gave you things
I didn't give to you
Blaine brought his head up but kept his eyes closed.
Old friend
Why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold back
Or hide from the light
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over
Blaine's eyebrows kneaded together as his voice grew in volume and his singing grew more passionate.
Never mind
I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you two
He brought his hands to his chest, letting the tears slip out of the corners of his eyes.
Don't forget me, I begged
I remember, you said
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead.
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead..
You know how the time flies
Only yesterday
It was the time of our lives
We were born and raised
In a summer haze
Bound by the surprise
Of our glory days
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over...
Nothing compares
No worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes
They are memories made.
Who would have known
How bittersweet this would taste?
Never mind
I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you
Don't forget me, I begged
I remember, you said
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts..instead...
Brittany watched Blaine with tears in her eyes. She felt so sorry for the curly haired boy. She looked over to Kurt who was watching Blaine intently as he gripped the edge of his seat.
Kurt got up and walked out, trying to hold back the tears. He couldn't sit there and watch that anymore. Blaine looked so heartbroken and it was all his fault. He made it to the bathroom and shut himself in a stall, completely breaking down.
Blaine took a deep breath before following Kurt to the bathroom.
Kurt sat on the toilet and buried his face in his hands sobbing. He couldn't believe he'd been so stupid.
"Kurt...?" Blaine asked quietly.
Kurt held his breath to quiet his sobs as he looked up at the stall door. He took a moment to breathe before he spoke.
"Y-yes?"
"I know I'm probably the last person you want to see...But I wanted to check on you..."
"I'm fine.." Kurt got out, his voice breaking as he wiped his tears.
"I know you, Kurt...You're not fine...Pretend I'm someone else if you need to. But you need to talk..." Blaine said, walking to the stall Kurt was in.
Kurt saw Blaine's feet appear in front of the door.
"I'm sorry..I'm so sorry.." Kurt said resting his face in his hands.
"I know..." Blaine said softly. "Please come out here."
Kurt was silent before he stood and opened the door, stepping out to be face to face with Blaine.
Blaine knew he'd regret it but he pulled Kurt close. "It's okay...It's going to be okay..."
"No...Blaine…I never wanted you to feel that way...I'm so sorry Blaine.." Kurt sobbed into Blaine's chest.
"We can't change the past...I'm sorry. I just...I needed to express myself somehow. Music is my only cure right now..." Blaine said calmly.
Kurt held Blaine tightly, crying against his ex.
"Kurt, please don't cry..." Blaine said, rubbing small circles on his back. "I don't know what will happen...But it's going to be okay."
Kurt didn't know how it happened but all of a sudden his lips were on Blaine's, kissing him deeply.
Blaine kissed him back passionately. He missed this. His eyebrows furrowed as he pulled away. "Kurt..." He said, shaking his head. "You have a boyfriend..."
"I know I don't want him Blaine...I love you…I love you so much.." Kurt said desperately, kissing Blaine again.
Blaine pulled Kurt off. "You know I love you. But I can't do this if you are with him. This is all up to you now."
Kurt looked at Blaine with tear filled eyes. "O-okay.."
"Just...Make yourself happy, Kurt.."
Kurt nodded, holding Blaine close again.
"I love you..." Blaine whispered.
"I..I love you too.." Kurt whispered back, closing his eyes.
Blaine kissed Kurt's cheek. "Want me to take you home?"
"Silas...Is actually picking me up.." Kurt says softly.
Blaine took a deep breath. "Okay..."
"I'm going to leave him...tonight…I promise.." Kurt said, nuzzling into the crook of Blaine's shoulder.
"If that's what you want," Blaine nodded.
"It is...I'm so sorry Blaine.." Kurt said, wrapping his arms around Blaine's waist.
"It's okay," Blaine soothed.
Kurt tried to just live in this moment until he felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. He sighed, seeing that it was Silas.
"Hello?"
"Hey baby. Are you ready?" Silas asked happily.
"Yeah...Just give me a minute, I'll meet you outside.."
"Okay," Silas said before hanging up.
Kurt looked at Blaine as he hung up. "He's here.."
"I guess you'd better get going..." Blaine said quietly.
"Blaine.." Kurt said softly.
"Yeah?"
"I know this might be asking a lot but...can you...kiss me?" Kurt asked.
Blaine gave a small smile before leaning in and kissing Kurt with as much love as he could.
Kurt wrapped his arms around Blaine's neck, deepening the kiss. God, this felt amazing. He had no idea why he gave this up, even for a second.
Blaine sighed happily. Pulling away, smiling. "I love you."
Kurt smiled back. "I love you too.." he said, resting his forehead against Blaine's.
"Can I see you tonight?" Blaine asked.
"I would love that.." Kurt said softly.
Blaine kissed Kurt's cheek. "Text me when he leaves."
Kurt nodded before hugging Blaine once more and walking out of the school. He saw Silas's car and smiled at him as he climbed in the passenger seat.
"Hey baby! How was glee club?" Silas asked.
"It was alright.." He said, looking over at his soon-to-be-ex.
Silas nodded. "What did you want to do today?"
"I'm just...Really tired.." Kurt sighed. "Do you mind just taking me home?"
"That's fine," Silas said calmly.
They drove to Kurt's house and pulled into his driveway. Kurt looked over at Silas.
"Can I talk to you about something?"
Silas shifted in his seat so he was facing Kurt. "Anything," he grinned.
Kurt bit his lip. "I don't really know where to start.." He said, laughing nervously.
"Well, how about the beginning?" Silas asked, still smiling.
Kurt looked down, he admitted this seemed easier than breaking up with Blaine, but the way he kept smiling just made him feel bad.
"How do you feel about me?" Kurt asked, hoping it wouldn't be too serious for him.
"I like you." Silas said seriously. "We've only been dating about a week so it’s not love or anything. But you're special."
Kurt gave a small sigh of relief. "Well I...I want to break up.." Kurt said softly.
"Wait...What?" Silas asked, tilting his head in confusion. "Is this because of your ex? He doesn't know me. Let me prove myself to you, please..."
"I have my reasons...I'm sorry.." Kurt said, starting to undo his seatbelt.
Silas caught Kurt's hand and pulled him back. "Please don't do this...I like you, Kurt. I want this relationship to work. Please don't walk away..."
Kurt jerked his hand away, "Silas stop!" He said, staring at the desperate boy.
Silas jumped back. "I...I'm sorry. I just...I really like you..." he said quietly, looking down so Kurt couldn't see the tear that fell.
Kurt looked over at Silas. "Look..I'm sorry... It's really not you.." He said, placing a hand on his shoulder.
Silas shook Kurt's hand off. "It's him. I know."
Kurt just looked away. "I'm sorry.." he said again.
Silas shook his head. "I'm fine."
"I don't want you to be mad at me for this.."
Silas sighed. "I'm not mad."
"Okay..I-I'll see you later then.." Kurt said, giving a weak smile.
Silas nodded. "Alright."
Kurt still felt bad. "Are you okay?"
Silas took a deep breath before looking at Kurt. "I will be."
Kurt nodded. And pulled him into a light hug. "Bye.."
Silas hugged him back. "Good bye, Kurt."
Kurt kissed his cheek softly before stepping out of the car and walking inside.
Silas sighed as he watched Kurt walk into his house before driving away.
