Blaine stared at his laptop that his Grandmother had bought him for Christmas. His grandmother was the only person that bought him anything, which is why he had anything nice at all. When she asked what he got for Christmas from his parents on the phone, he would just make it up, and say all this wonderful things like his father has told him to do, but since his grandmother never came to visit, because she was too busy with her friends she only ever sent him the gifts.

Blaine rarely spent quality time with his parents, so he shut himself in his room and went on the internet. If his parents ever did bother to check up on him, he would hear them coming and shut it of to pretend he was reading a book. He just would not risk losing his escape from the world by showing his parents that he was using his Grandmother's present. His father hated it when he enjoyed anything that he was given from someone.

His father was rarely home, so he didn't worry about him so much, it was his mother that didn't appear to care at all what Blaine did, so long as he stayed away from her while she got things done. If any of her friends were over she ordered him to his room. If his father came home to impress his friends, he was sent to his room. His own cousins didn't even know he exist, since his parents never spoke of him.

His brother Cooper was the only family that payed any slight attention to him, but even Cooper couldn't help him. Cooper was allowed to be with the family when other people came over because his mother said that Cooper was the good child, he behaved properly. Cooper always knew what to do, and was never messy or spoilt. Cooper was always the favourite child; he never got hit, or was told he was doing something wrong. Blaine didn't understand what was so wrong with him.

Blaine still felt that Cooper was the only family he could really count on if he had to choose. Cooper had his own computer so they were able to connect to each other through the internet. They never told their parents of their social networking connection because if they did they would most likely be taken of, and Blaine can't be alone in the world, he needs his older brother to explain things, and he loved watching the movies that his brother would sneak in on his USB under the door with harry potter and such for his laptop.

Blaine rolled his eyes at the name appearing on his MSN, but then again Cooper didn't like his name.

Thank you. .

Blaine could hear footsteps above him, as dust brushed his hair.

There was no reply and soon he heard the quiet 3 knock symbol on his door that was Cooper's way of saying it was him.

"Can you open the door Blaine?" Cooper whispered against the door.

"I can't reach the lock you know that Coop," Blaine replied.

"How did you lock yourself in?"

"I didn't lock myself in! Mommy did,"

Cooper sighed.

"Hold on a minute,"

A few minutes later Blaine could hear a chair being dragged and then the doorknob being turned.

Cooper had managed to open the door.

Blaine's stomach growled when he saw the 2 cupcakes and a sandwich that were on the plate Cooper held in his hand.

"Here, you can have the sandwich," Cooper handed Blaine the cheese Sandwich.

"Can I have a cupcake too?" Blaine pleaded.

It looked so delicious; it had pink decorations and sparkling icing. One of them were rich chocolate.

"No, there were only 5 out there left!" Cooper exclaimed.

"Please Coop, just half?" Blaine looked up at his taller brother who had shut the door behind him.

"No!" Cooper scowled. Cooper was only looking out for him. He knew that Cooper wanted Blaine to be healthy, but he didn't understand why Cooper got to eat all the fatty food and not gain any weight.

Blaine bit his bottom lip and nodded. He took the sandwich eagerly and crossed his legs on the carpet eating it fast.

"Slow down bro, you'll be sick," Cooper ordered patting his brother's back.

Blaine immediately slowed down after eating one half of the sandwich.

"Is the party fun?" Blaine asked keen to hear all about the outside world. He missed it. Ever since being taken out of Day Care he didn't go outside anymore. He was never allowed too anyway, not even just to play in the park; his mother said he would catch a disease. Blaine wished he was Cooper.

"Yeah, it is with the other kids who are outside, we are going to play football. I was just showing Jessica my new game on the computer. I don't like the party inside with the parents, they are too boring, they only talk about the Government but Jessica wanted to see my room."

"Couldn't you ask mommy for me if I could join?" Blaine stared into Cooper's eyes searching for some emotion in there.

"Blainers, you don't even like football,"

"I might!" Blaine insisted. Cooper laughed at him.

"Sorry bro, but I'll bring some movies back you can watch if you life? You know mommy doesn't want you to come outside,"

"I know," Blaine nodded. His eyes looked to the cupcakes a little sad for a minute but forced himself to look away. Cooper sighed.

"Here, have one,"

"Won't I get fat?" Blaine asked.

"Yeah but that just means more girls for me, you don't get fat by playing football!" Cooper winked and handed Blaine the cupcake, eating the other.

Cooper said goodbye locking the room again in case their father came back to play football after a friend called him.

Blaine sat by himself and cringed at the thought of Kurt finding him unattractive if he ever did saw the other boy again. He decided to save the cupcake for later in case he got hungry, so he put it underneath the bed.

He re-opened Windows Live Messenger to see if his brother was still on.
