26 Cheesus

"He's missing,"

"What do you mean he's missing!" Burt shouted at the two boys standing in front of him.

"We...we are sorry sir, he told us he was going to the bathroom, we offered to get him coffee, he honestly was fine before we left! We went to check on him but he hadn't come back," Wes declared.

"And he wasn't in the bathroom," David added both with guilty looks. Burt rubbed his neck and sighed.

"Where is the bathroom?" The boys pointed the way and Burt gulped.

"You don't suppose, he would have been near his father's office do you?" Burt raised a worried eyebrow.

"Well...it's not far from the downstairs bathroom...what are you suggesting happened?" David asked with Wes listening with concern for his new friend.

"I have a feeling Blaine overheard my conversation with his father... I need to find him. NOW."

"We will develop a search party from the warblers around Dalton, if you would like to go back home, he might have just gone back to your house to find Kurt, he always looks for Kurt when he's upset," Wes mentioned.

Burt nodded feeling dizzy. He had to get his boy back. Blaine was his son, whether he thought so or not.

"Woah sir, are you okay? You look exhausted, listen Mr Hummel, we will find him," David said as Wes nodded and pulled Burt gently towards the nearest couch from which he declined.

"I'm fine boys, thank you, I just need to know if Blaine is okay, and I have to find him, I can't let anything else happen to the boy, he's been through too much already,"

Kurt glanced up at the clock it was 5pm and his father hadn't called since he was at school. Finn opened the fridge and took out a grilled cheesus which he believed had mystical powers. Kurt shook his head at the boy and continued his frantic pace in the kitchen glancing up at the clock every few minutes.

"Kurt, that clock isn't going to move if you keep doing that, believe me, I learnt that the hard way at school," Finn muttered taking a sip of apple juice.

"I'm worried about dad and Blaine, he went up to the school," Kurt bit his bottom lip.

"He told you not to worry, but honestly Kurt you should just call them if you're going to keep doing that! No point walking up and down the floor," Finn replied.

"I already tried calling Blaine and texting him, he won't reply! I'm not sure if I did something wrong or what?" Kurt sighed dramatically easing himself in a nearby chair when the phone ran he immediately jumped up, ran to it and picked it up.

"Kurt Hummel speaking?"

"Kurt? Is Blaine there?" Burt asked with a worried tone. Kurt didn't like the sound of it.

"No dad, what happened? Wasn't he meant to be at school?" Kurt asked.

"He's missing Kurt, we've started looking around Dalton and we can't find him, he won't answer his phone, I think…he overhead what I was talking about to his father,"

"Dad…what did you two talk about?" Kurt panicked.

"We will talk about that later, tell Finn and Carole what happened and let's just find him as soon as we can, oh and Kurt,"

"Yeah Dad?"

"Be careful, I love you son,"

"I love you too dad, I'm, sure he isn't far," Kurt replied trying to stay calm.

"I know son, Blaine won't be alone for long, and I promise you we will find him,"

"Yes dad,"

They hung up and Finn was looking eagerly at him.

"Where's Blaine?"

"Missing," Kurt choked with a tear escaping.

Finn pulled his brother into a hug before calling the New Directions for help.

"Puck! Putting a missing person on Facebook is not going to help!"

Kurt glared angrily at the boy with the Mohawk as he saw Blaine's photo with missing on it appear on his facebook. He was waiting for a reply from Wes and David who had texted him earlier about what was happening at Dalton.

"Oh come on, doesn't the kid use internet on his phone? Anyway at least everyone will know and can help,"

"Or can make the matter worst! I appreciate you guys coming over to help, but more people running around the house isn't going to change the fact he is missing," Kurt fumed as Brittany and Sam picked up cookies on the counter with the others surrounding Kurt.

"Sweetie, they are just as worried as you are, look at Quinn and Rachel over there, they are ringing everyone they know that can help them find Blaine. Rachel even called her dads to help, Kurt just try to think carefully if Blaine has mentioned going anywhere," Carole added who had found out the news not long after Kurt and Finn and came straight from work to help around the house.

It was now 6:30pm and Kurt was almost in tears with Mercedes by his side and Burt still at Dalton trying to find him in the area.

"That's the thing! He doesn't know how to get around here…the only place he knows is…omg no," Kurt covered his mouth.

"What is it boo?" Mercedes came up beside him.

"The forest, Carole, the forest! Blaine mentioned how he wanted a home, and the only home besides here is the forest...you don't think he...?"

"He couldn't possibly know how to get there from here, its too far for him to walk…the only thing closer to a forest around here would be the parks...Kurt wait here and call your dad, I'm going to check the nearest parks out,"

"Isn't it dangerous to be at a park this time of the night?" Mercedes worried.

"What's this about a park?" Santana asked with Puck coming up behind her.

Carole sighed.

"We think he may be in a nearby park, and I'm going to take a look,"

"Ms Hummel, do you mind if I tag a long, I could fight of anyone that comes in your way, or tries to hurt any of you," Puck announced.

"No hon, I think this is a grown up job, Kurt sweetie can you call Burt?"

"No! I'm coming, he will listen to me if I come, please Carole, please," Kurt pleaded. Carole took one look in Kurt's eyes and sighed.

"Actually I better call Burt to come help, and see what he thinks okay? Mercedes dear could you stay with Kurt for the time being,"

"Yes mam never planned on leaving, don't worry Kurt everything will be fine, I'll control these knuckleheads, they'll probably call the police if I don't,"

"That's not a bad thing, but the police won't answer unless it's been 24 hours, so no use in that," Carole replied as she walked into the living room to get the phone.

They were in the kitchen after all she had a whole bunch of teenagers including a kid in a wheelchair in her house, of course she was going to feed them to ease them down a little. Kurt kissed Mercedes cheek but she pulled him in a quick hon.

"We'll find your man, don't worry Kurt,"

Kurt nodded the tears going down his cheek as she wiped them away.

"What if he doesn't want me anymore? What if he's really hurt? What if something bad happened?"

"Nonsense boo, your not the reason why he is missing, its his father okay? Don't blame yourself, your the best thing that happened to him, we both know that,"

Kurt only nodded and snuggled himself into Mercedes as Carole told them his father was on his way back.
