I'll stand by you

So if you're mad get mad

Don't hold it all inside

Come on and talk to me now

He noticed the blanket and note was gone, but the food was left untouched. Kurt continued to sing.

Hey…why you got to hide?

I get angry too

Well I'm a lot like you

He was determined to find Blaine. He suddenly froze when Blaine stood in front of him with tears streaming down his face.

Kurt looked worried, and started wiping away the tears from Blaine's cheeks.

"What happened, are you okay?"

"Your voice," Blaine mentioned.

"The song?" Kurt asked thinking Blaine must be the emotional type. Blaine shook his head.

"No your voice...It's beautiful," Blaine smiled shyly. Kurt blushed at hearing that.

"I sang it to find you," Kurt admitted. Blaine was the one blushing this time.

"I like that song..." Blaine added. Kurt smiled.

"You came,"

"I promised you I would, come on we have all day for you to tell me about yourself," Kurt gestured swiping away a mosquito when Blaine stopped his arm.

"Don't,"

"Blaine they are going to eat me alive,"

"Not if you put on some protection, anyway it's gone," Blaine let go of Kurt's arm.

"Here, have some food," Kurt handed over a sandwich he made for Blaine earlier, and brought some marshmellows. Blaine shook his head.

"You need to eat Blaine, I'm not saying you don't look beautiful, but I just want to...just... please let me take care of you," Kurt begged giving Blaine the best puppy look he could give. Blaine giggled and tilted his head.

"You think I look beautiful huh?" Blaine asked amused. Kurt went a deep pink.

"Sorry, you should probably know that I'm...gay… I should have said something, I understand if you don't want to be friends with me, but I really like you,"

Kurt glanced down suddenly looking sad. Blaine was curious and didn't like Kurt being so upset. Kurt was actually worried that he had just made up this fantasy that Blaine would be gay and he could help him, and they could actually... oh he was talking.

"Kurt, I like you too and I'm gay," Blaine smiled reassuringly.

"You are?" Kurt was trying hard not to look to happy.

"That's why I'm here," Blaine answered.

"You were abandoned because you're gay?" Kurt asked shocked. He could never imagine his father doing anything like that.

"Sit down I'll explain everything," Blaine pointed towards a rock. Kurt obeyed.

"You're talking a lot more today," Kurt noted. Blaine nodded.

"I…I usually don't talk to people near the forest, if I need to get something I walk to the local town," Blaine added.

"That's too long, and you don't have proper shoes," Kurt sympathised as he looked at Blaine's bare feet in proof.

"Kurt stop worrying, I've been doing this for 5 years remember," Blaine reminded him.

"Tell me everything, and how is it that you have no beard?"

Kurt finally noticed, wondering if this was like the movie 'Lost' where the people strangely had huge supply of food, clothes, shaving equipment. Finn loved watching that show, and Kurt just couldn't see it being realistic.

"I made my own knife, and I take left over shaven cream and food from the cabins, I don't steal I promise, but the cleaners sometimes leave stuff outside, and if they are there for two days I take it," Blaine showed his handmade knife he had in his pocket. Kurt backed off a bit in alarm.

"I won't hurt you," Blaine promised and put the knife back in his pocket.

"So…how old were you when they left you here?" Kurt asked.

"12," Blaine replied.

"So that would mean you are…17…that's a terrible way to grow up,"

"No, actually it wasn't I learnt a lot about the world and how cruel it is, and how you have to defend yourself to live, and I learnt how to live out doors, I've come to love the forest," Blaine disagreed.

"One day you'll see the world isn't cruel Blaine, I promise you," Kurt encouraged stroking a string of curls out of Blaine's eyes.

"Kurt?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, you …I shouldn't have done that I'm sorry, and I wasn't thinking, it just looked like a natural…"

"Be quiet Kurt, its okay, I've never had anyone do that to me before," Blaine laughed, he was fond of Kurt, and how easily he could become worried about someone he just met.

The first time Kurt ever heard him laugh, and he swore it was the most adorable laugh he's ever heard ever. Kurt blushed looking downwards. He had to stop this and actually think about the boy's survival. A bird started chirping and Kurt jumped on the rock looking even more flushed.

"It's not making fun of you," Blaine giggled; Blaine tilted his head as a habit and smiled. A funny feeling entered his stomach and he wasn't sure what it was when he looked at Kurt, who sat back down, but it felt right and it was something he never felt before.

"Sorry I don't always hang out outdoors," Kurt admitted. Blaine bit his bottom lip and nodded.

"My mother died," Blaine said out of the blue. He was sure he could trust Kurt.

"My mother died too," Kurt replied with a sad smile.

"Really?" Blaine asked sympathetically.

"Yeah, my dad married someone else though, I love my mother, but my step mom is awesome too, and I got a brother out of it, I wish you could meet them, how did your mother die?" Kurt asked gently.

"She… died after I was born," Blaine replied a shadow leaping over him as though he did something wrong.

"Oh… Blaine, you know it's not your fault right?"

"It was my fault, she got ill after I was born, Kurt I was terrible, my dad already beat me up for killing my mother, and when I told him I liked boys, he…he told me to get in the car, and I was 12 years old, and I thought maybe he was going to take me somewhere to bond, he didn't look angry, but instead he took me here," Blaine waved his hand around the forest as Kurt gasped, Blaine continued.

"It was a 9 hour drive, and he told me to get out, I did, as soon as I did he said I wasn't his son, and he got in the car and drove away, I ran after him, but the car was too fast, Kurt I really am terrible aren't I? I killed my mother Kurt; I became someone my father didn't want. When I found out I was near a camp, I couldn't go near people, and my father didn't come back,"

"Blaine…" Kurt said but Blaine shook his head.

"I was hoping someone would find me, and say it was okay, but then I got scared that they'd say I was a terrible person too, I'm afraid you'll say it too, I never told anyone before," Blaine rapidly replied and then he broke down crying, Kurt was crying too.

"Oh honey, Blaine, it wasn't your fault, you, oh my god, you're coming with me," Kurt said taking Blaine's arm.

"What? Are you going to take me to the police, Kurt I didn't mean to kill my mother, I didn't mean to be gay, I just am,"

"Listen to me Blaine, Stop it, look at me," Kurt said turning Blaine around, Blaine couldn't look at Kurt. Kurt pushed his finger under Blaine's chin gently and lifted it so he was looking at Kurt.

"You didn't kill your mother, it happens Blaine, you're not a terrible person, please trust me, I'm gay too remember, it isn't a sin," Kurt put his arm around Blaine and just held him. Blaine cried in Kurt's shirt.

"Please come with me," Kurt whispered. Blaine nodded tired of being alone, tired of hiding, tired of no one caring, but he was still terrified, he cried even harder clutching Kurt's sleeve.

"Shhh…," Kurt patted the back of his new found friend.

Every day is so wonderful…and suddenly…it's hard to breathe…

Blaine's tears were becoming silent as he listened to Kurt sing with wide eyes.

Now and then you get insecure, from all the pain, you're so ashamed…

But you are beautiful, no matter what they say, words can't bring you down…

You are beautiful in every single way; yes words can't bring you down…

Oh….

So don't let it bring you down today

"I'm going to show you the world that is not cruel, that you never experienced okay?" Kurt whispered patting Blaine's arm.

"Why are you so nice?" Blaine asked with red eyes.

"I know what it's like to be lost Blaine, but I had people that were there to help me, I still need help but I want to help you too," Kurt replied smiling as he pulled Blaine into a standing position.

"Come on, first you're going to get some food and better clothes," Kurt said taking Blaine's arm and leading him back to the cabin.

"Kurt I'm scared to go out there,"

"I know, it'll be okay, I promise," Kurt added. Blaine said no more and followed him, he was about to face the world for the first time, Kurt prayed his family would help him.
