Blaine was sitting on the couch in the Warbler room. Next to him sat Wes and David. On the other couch were Mathew and Lauren sitting.
They had been chatting the past few minutes as the cameras were installed.
If someone had walked that moment into the Warbler room, they would have thought they were in another room.
Lauren was talking with a camera man as Blaine zoned out. They had asked him to get his laptop a little earlier as they wanted to see the twitter page. He just hoped that nothing bad would come out of all this. He'd rather kept living the lie and talking with this person than getting out of his happy bubble.
Of course he thought it was strange that they never could meet although they didn't live too far and of course he was sad that they could never skype but he had always believed that Kurt had his reasons. He still believed that. Maybe he just wasn't ready to hear the truth.
He felt a shoulder on his hand and looked up to see Wes looking at him worriedly. “You ok? They want to start.”
Blaine nodded. “Yeah let's do this.”
The cameras started rolling and Blaine tried to stay relax.
“So Blaine, tell us a little more about Kurt,” said Lauren kindly.
She made Blaine feel on ease. “I've met Kurt 6 months ago on Twitter. He started following me and asked me about an opinion I just gave. We started discussing and ended up talking. I don't know how but we just kept talking about anything and everything. He's really nice to talk to.”
Mathew nodded from behind the little camera he was holding. “And have you seen a picture of Kurt yet,” he asked.
Blaine nodded his head. “Yeah, I saw one. We've never skyped though. He never could and well I guess always something came in between.”
He saw the worried look shared between Lauren and Mathew.
Lauren looked back at him and smiled kindly. “How about you show us Kurt his twitter.”
Blaine nodded and opened the page. The twitter looked quite normal. It held a picture of a singing bird. The banner were pictures of his favorite artists in a collage.
The last tweet he had sent was from a day before about a new song released by lady gaga, his favorit artist.
Lauren studied the page carefully. “Can you show us the picture he has sent you?”
Blaine nodded and took out his phone. He gave it at her carefully, the picture was his background on the phone.
On the screen stood a tall guy with black hair. His hair was short and he was wearing a football jersey from McKinley. On his chest was the word Ohio written.
“Isn't Ohio like a few hours away from here?” asked Mathew.
“Yes,” said Wes. “2 hours.”
“You've never asked to meet him,” wondered Mathew.
“I did. He just never could,” shrugged Blaine.
“Well Blaine, we are going to look this all up for you and trying to find out what's going on. There are a few signs that aren't looking good. Just keep in mind that this might not really turn out how you want to.”
Blaine swallowed the lump in his throat. “Yeah, I just want to know the truth.”
Lauren nodded and placed her hand on his knee. “We'll do our best.”
It was a little later when the crew left Dalton. They promised to contact him the next day with what they found.
Blaine knew he couldn't chance anything that would come out of the search. Yet he was wide awake in his bed later that night.
He wanted to talk to Kurt, let his words comfort him but he knew that wasn't an option. His hand went through his curly hair.
He turned around once more and saw the number slowly tick further. Tomorrow was another day, tomorrow he would be one step closer to the truth, he reminded himself as he let himself slowly fall asleep.
