Blaine's Grandmother sure knew how to throw surprises. She turned up at the Anderson's house out of the blue, surprising Blaine's mother, who knew nothing about her arrival, and also worried her because her husband wouldn't be there to help her get rid of the woman.
Both Jennifer and Susan Anderson were not on the same level of thinking, and that is the main reason that Susan (Blaine's grandmother) never came to visit her son or grandson, but something just made her want to. She was tired of listening to little Blaine forcibly, announce how happy he was on the phone, she was not naive, she could hear the hint of sadness behind his voice, and she didn't want to continue living without seeing the little man. She adored Blaine, but she just never got time to see him, or made the time, since
Blaine's mother had basically made it impossible to bare with, but this time, she was coming to see Blaine, since she was getting old, and she didn't want to die without letting Blaine know she was there for him.
When she did arrived and pretty much let herself in the house, she was horrified by what she saw.
The door was closed but it was not locked, so she had walked right in to see Blaine's mother sitting in a kitchen chair, with her legs out, a cigarette in her hand, ash tray on the table and cooper beneath her playing some card game on the floor.
Pizza boxes and can bottles were left everywhere on the counter and Blaine was no where to be seen. The rest of the house was untouched as though trying to impress.
Jennifer choked on her cigarette when she noticed the invader and glared evily at her as she ushered Cooper out of the kitchen, so they could talk.
Cooper immediately picked up his cards and ran up the staircase, hanging on the rail at the top of the stairs. Both adults were too busy creating an eye staring war to notice that he was eavesdropping.
"Where's Blaine?"
"...Excuse me? There is no...,"
"Where. Is. Blaine!"
"Down the hall on the right under the staircase" Blaine's mother snorted as she dismissed the woman.
Jennifer couldn't stand her, Blaine had been in his room all day, and it was in her right, to keep him that way.
Susan didn't give her the time of day to answer her, and immediately set of to her destination.
She found the said "Small" closeted room..and found it locked. She frowned as she tried to open it.
"Can I help you?" Cooper finally made himself visible from on top of the stairs.
She shook her head, she shouldn't hate Cooper, but the boy was spoilt rotten, and shouldn't be allowed anything more than Blaine got, it wasn't fair. It wasn't fair that he got a better bedroom then Blaine,
from what she remembered seeing years ago, it wasn't fair, that all his father talked about was little Cooper on the phone, and how proud they were of little Cooper. She just couldn't find it in her heart to give the boy the same thing everyone else gave him.
"There's a key...I know you don't like me, but I know how to get to Blaine, mother doesn't like anyone talking to him, but I do sometimes, and the key is on top of that huge clock next to the staircase, please don't tell mother I know about it,"
Susan stared at the boy with the wavy short cut brown hair, the baggy pants, and football shirt.
His eyes stared at his obviously new shoes as he waited for her to lecture him.
Instead Susan looked in the case that held the ancient clock as Cooper described and found the key hanging on the side on a string.
"Thank you," She whispered eventually, feeling defeated, she could not hate the boy entirely.
It was not his fault.
The boy smiled slightly and nodded as she continued into the room.
She gasped as she saw Blaine in the small bed in the corner of the room, pale as a ghost,
skinny as a rake, and curled up in a ball as if hiding away from a monster in the closet.
"Blaine?" She asked as he looked up when he noticed company.
Blaine was frightened when he noticed who it was, and she could see him shake.
"...Please whatever I did I'm sorry!"
He liked his Grandmother he did, but he knew he did something wrong if someone came to visit him.
"W...whatever you did? No honey..I came to see you,"
"Why?" Blaine reluctantly asked tilting his head as he let her see his beautiful hazel eyes finally.
"To help you,"
"Huh?"
"Oh Blaine...my dear baby Blaine, look at you! You look like you haven't eaten in three weeks!"
"I had half a sandwich yesterday, mam" Blaine protested.
Susan moved over to his side of the room and sat down on his bed holding out her arms.
Blaine frowned at the gesture as though not knowing what to do.
"YOu don't want a hug?"
"I shouldn't have hugs," Blaine replied.
"Why on earth not!"
Blaine cringed at the sound of her voice, and she softened her face, to show she wasn't mad at him.
"Mother says they are for wimps,"
Susan rolled her eyes and pulled him in. Blaine was shaking even harder then before.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry I let this happen to you Blaine, THEY let this happen to you, just hold on here for me okay? I'm going to speak to your parents,"
"Father isn't home," Blaine sobbed softly.
"Hey...easy now son, you'll be alright, just hold your chin up boy, I'll be right back okay?"
Blaine nodded eagerly as she left the room, noticing Cooper had departured, probably to play with some toys.
She couldn't believe what she saw in Blaine's room. It was worst than she had thought.
There were no toys, he wasn't wearing appropriate clothing for this weather, and he was totally isolated.
The house itself was perfect, the only thing that was mistreated was Blaine and his room, and the bit of smoke that was coming from the kitchen with the left over pizza which looked like there had been a party.
Susan Anderson stormed into the kitchen in fury as Blaine's mother looked up unconcerned.
"I'm taking the boy home with me, and if you dare try stop me, I'll not only get you exposed, but I'll cut you and your husband out of the will completely! That's what you want isn't it!Well...let me have Blaine, and I will recondisder, but mark my words Jennifer! You will not get away with this, so make your choice now,"
Jennifer didn't seem to be caring what Susan thought at all.
"Fine. Take him, we never cared for him anyway, he's worthless,"
"No. Blaine isn't worthless, you made him that way, and I'll be damnded to let you ruin this boys life, as you did my son,"
Cooper overheard all the shouting and ran to his brother's room. His Grandmother was yelling at his mother, and although it was unpleasant to hear, he managed to get a bit of what was happening.
His Grandmother didn't like him, and he was not going to blame her, he got everything while Blaine didn't, but it didn't mean he didn't care for his brother, and he wanted to see Blaine.
Cooper opened the door and saw Blaine crying in the same position he layed on the bed where his Grandmother left him.
Cooper immediately went to the bed and pulled Blaine up into a hug as he continued to cry.
"Shh...don't cry squirt,"
"She never cared about me Coop. *Hiccup*..I heard her...she...*hiccup*...I thought she,"
Blaine buried his head in Coopers neck as his brother patted his back softly.
"Listen Blaine, Grandma will take good care of you, but just know I won't ever forget you,
you are my brother Blaine, and what mother says isn't true,"
"I don't want to leave you! I don't care if I don't eat," Blaine admitted quietly.
"You have to go bro,"
"I don't wanna..."
"No. You can't stay here Blaine, you have to go with Grandma,"
They could hear them shouting again.
"Don't forget me?" Blaine begged as Cooper shook hs head.
"Never! I gotta go Blainers, I think she's coming, write me okay?"
Blaine nodded tearfully.
"Take care of yourself," Cooper whispered and locked the door as he took one last look at Blaine.
He knew he would never forget Blaine at that moment so he went to his room to cry, for the first time in a long time.
Cooper had always been the strong one, but now Blaine was going to have to be strong on his own, and his heart ached for his little brother.
When Burt was out of hospital Kurt did everything he could to take care of his had. He even started making the meals at home, to make sure he ate healthy.
Carole had called to see if they wanted to go shopping with Finny, and Kurt was delighted. He was still upset about what Mercedes had said how he treated Blaine, and so he knew shopping would help him smile.
Burt saw the excited look on his kid's face and took that as good sign, so he agreed.
