Blaine was nervous all day. It was Saturday and he was at home, jamming a bit on his guitar. David and Wes had decided to stay with him this weekend with everything going on and his parents being on another business trip.
He let the music slowly flow from his fingers as he closed his eyes, slowly humming along. David and Wes looked from a distance as they were trying to do some homework.
A phone disturbed the peace and quiet.
Blaine pulled his phone from his pocket and looked at the number.
“Hello, Blaine speaking,” he said.
“Blaine, it's Lauren and Mathew. We would like to meet you today. Can we meet you somewhere?” Lauren asked.
“Can we meet in the nightingale? It's a small coffee shop in Westerville,” he said.
“Sure, we'll meet you there. See you in a bit,” Lauren said as the line went dead.
David and Wes were already standing up. “Guess we need to go?”
Blaine nodded. “Yes, let me put on some other clothes and we can go.”
They all changed quickly and jumped in Blaine's car, all three of them hoping that Lauren and Mathew had some good news.
Blaine, David and Wes took a seat in a quiet corner. They had all ordered their coffees and were slowly sipping them. No words were spoken as each of them sat with their mind somewhere else.
Lauren and Mathew entered the coffee shop. They waved and pointed towards the counter, letting them know they would order first.
They asked permission to film while they ordered their coffees. It was no problem and they set up a camera or two more to get some shots from each point of view.
Mathew took out the small camera he was always carrying around as Lauren started to set up the laptop.
For Blaine, everything went by painfully slow. He let out a long breath when everything was done.
“Ok, Blaine, let's start from the beginning. We first looked up the picture you had given us,” said Mathew.
Lauren loaded the picture in the app and the hits came on screen.
Lauren pointed at the screen. “As you see here, we found a Facebook page.”
She opened it and Blaine's eyes almost fell out when he saw the name. “It's not Kurt,” he said under his breath.
Lauren shook her head sadly. “It's not,” she said as she opened the picture page. “As you see here, this guy named Finn is quarterback in the football team. He has actually a girlfriend in the cheerio team.”
Blaine looked down. He felt so disappointed in that moment but also quite angry. It was like his feeling were all mixed up. “What else did you found?” he asked.
“Well, we looked through the information on this Facebook,” said Mathew.
Lauren opened the information about the page and scrolled down to the family's page. “He has a brother named Kurt,” she said as she opened his Facebook. “We think there might be a chance you've been talking with his brother but we aren't 100 % sure.”
Blaine nodded and looked at the picture. “Did you find anything more about him?” he asked as he pointed at the picture, not quite sure how to call him.
Lauren looked at Mathew. It was like they were considering if they were going to tell him or not.
Blaine sighed in frustration. “He has been lying to me anyway. There is nothing that can make this worse.”
Mathew sighed and started talking, “Blaine, what we are about to show you is not the most pleasant video.”
Blaine threw his hands up in the air. “I don't care Mathew. I just want to know what's going on.”
Lauren looked up the video and searched through the page until she found it. She hesitated a little longer but clicked play anyway.
The video showed Kurt laying on the ground. Two jocks were scraping him over the ground by his arms. Blaine saw the dumpster getting closer and closer.
His hand shot up and closed the computer. “I can't do this,” he whispered as he ran out of the coffee shop.
Wes stood up and ran immediately after him. David stayed behind, knowing that Wes was much better with this situations.
Wes found Blaine sitting on the ground in front of the coffee shop. Tears were streaming down his face.
Wes sat down on his knees in front of Blaine. He wrapped him into a hug and held him close. “It's ok Blaine, it's ok,” he said as he tried to sooth him.
It took a few minutes until Blaine had calmed down enough to talk. “How can someone put another person though that,” he whispered.
“Blaine, there will always be bad people. I know this hits close to home for you but maybe you should think about it this way. If this is the guy you've been talking to, then you were probably his light in the dark days. You've been there and you know how lonely it gets when you go through something like that Blaine. If that's really the guy you've been talking to, I think you should meet him, hear out his story and try to help him. No one deserves to go through that,” Wes said carefully.
“I don't know if I can do that Wes,” whispered Blaine.
“He may have lied Blaine, but this guy obviously needs you. He's still the guy you've been talking to. He has made you happier than anyone and I'm sure you've done the same for him. Don't let that go to waste,” Wes said. He stood up and placed his hand on Blaine's shoulder.
Blaine looked up at him, so many questions in his eyes. “I let you alone for a bit. Think about it. When you're ready, we'll be inside.”
Blaine nodded and watched Wes walk back inside. So many things were going inside his head. He felt like he had so much to figure out on such a short time but deep inside he already knew he had made a decision.
