By the time Blaine came back Burt was out of the room talking to his mum and Kurt was sleeping. He walked in quietly and smiled down at Kurt.
He knew now he was just sleeping, the tube was no longer in his mouth keeping him breathing, and he looked as beautiful as ever, Blaine walked over to his bedside and put the food and coffee down on the table next to him which woke Kurt up.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to be too loud," He apologized, but Kurt's eyes were trained on the coffee.
"The aroma of the coffee woke me up, did you get it from the Lima bean?" Kurt asked his eyes wide as he noticed the familiar cup.
Blaine felt a twist of adoration at the way Kurt was looking so amazed by such a small gesture.
"You could have gotten me food at the hospital cafeteria!" Kurt protested.
"Well you know how they say cafeteria food in hospitals make you sick, and besides I got us both coffees, so no need to feel guilty, it's still hot because..."
"They are travel mugs," Kurt replied with a smile, finishing Blaine's sentence who nodded.
"Cheesecake?" Blaine offered pulling it out from the hidden box behind his back, Kurt's eyes widened further.
"Can I keep you?"
Blaine laughed.
"Well...we are boyfriends,"
Kurt then suddenly changed his look as he took the cheesecake gratefully for distraction.
Blaine sighed.
"Kurt, please what's wrong? I know being your boyfriend may not be...expected, but I really am, I wouldn't lie to you, please trust me,"
Kurt dropped his falk and put the food away before looking at Blaine.
"That's the thing Blaine, I don't know you. I tried Blaine, I really tried to think before the accident, but...last thing I remember is auditioning for glee club. I haven't even told my dad I am gay...and...this...this whatever this is, has to stop now,"
Blaine looked down feeling his heart coming to a stop.
This wasn't happening.
"You're...amazing, you've been there for me like no one I ever known, but when I see you look at me the way you do, I just can't return those feelings. You're a stranger to me, even though Dad tells me you're my boyfriend, I ...it's not the same anymore, you have to let me go,"
"No," Blaine interrupted and continued with a panicked voice.
"No you said you'll let me help you remember..." Blaine added.
"Help?! BLAINE this isn't helping! Waking up from a coma feeling agony, seeing your dad look utterly helpless like he can't do anything for me, and YOU...expect me to pretend I have feelings for you like everything is okay again? Like the guy you feel in love with? I don't know that guy Blaine..I don't go to parties...I don't drink, and I certainly do not know anything about you or being your boyfriend, we're not in love or in a relationship!"
Blaine trembled as he stood there shocked by the raise of Kurt's voice.
"Please just understand I can't do this...I don't understand why Finn's being so nice when last time I saw him he watched as Puck threw me in a dumpster...I don't want things to change and I don't want to remember the reason why I'm here!"
Blaine couldn't speak, he tried to respond by opening his mouth but no words came out, his hands shook as he tried to wipe the tears falling from his eyes, but he let them drop instead as he looked at Kurt, whose chest was breathing heavily and not even keeping eye contact a last time before fleeing ignoring Burt's calls or his mother chasing after him. He took a bus to Dalton not wanting to face anyone.
Maybe it was for the best.
Kurt was alive, that's all that mattered right?
It didn't matter Kurt didn't love Blaine anymore because he was alive.
Except Blaine's heart didn't feel alive anymore.
When Blaine arrived at Dalton looking like the dead...he didn't even notice as everyone that was in the entrance hall going quiet the moment they took one look at Blaine, he didn't notice Wes and David trying to steer him to his room, or them calling his mother to say where he was, he didn't even notice the pain in his heart as he closed the door to his room, he got into his bed not even knowing where he was, he just didn't feel like caring anymore.
The hardest thing in life is to walk away from the person you love.
~Kurt'sPointOfView~
Kurt didn't understand why he felt so empty as he saw Blaine leave. He just managed to take a glimpse at the broken boy in front of him before he couldn't stand seeing someone in so much pain and focusing on somewhere else, when he heard Blaine's sobbing as he left the room, that's when he realized something was wrong, and that he had made a huge mistake. He noticed the smell of coffee still floating in the room and grabbed his cup, checking to make sure he didn't pick up Blaine's in case he came back seeing instead of his name written on the cup was: "Shining Star" He looked around for Rachel.
"Dad!" He called.
Burt came in with a pained expression forcing a smile.
"Yeah son?"
"Is Rachel here?"
"No, not till next week when the Glee Club come,"
Kurt frowned.
"What's wrong?" Burt asked sitting on the edge of the bed.
Kurt showed Burt the cup.
"So?"
"Rachel calls herself Shining Star, I thought it was hers"
Burt laughed softly.
"When you were still in a coma, Rachel came to visit, and she kept going on and on about how you were her only competition even though she was the star of the group, and Blaine defended you by saying you were his shining star, and that even though he didn't disagree with her being talented, you were the best of the best, Rachel had gone quiet and started crying on how much she missed you, and wish she would've given you more of a chance but Blaine said you never would have met Blaine on that stage, trying to be best for once during the time when you were drunk, even if you didn't realize what you were doing and for that he thanked Rachel for pushing you so hard because it gave him the chance to meet you, even if in those circumstances,"
Kurt looked down in shame as he ran his thumb over the words.
"How do you know this?" Kurt asked.
"Hospital walls are very thin,"
Kurt smiled then groaned.
"Dad...he really does care about me doesn't he?"
Burt nodded sadly.
"I need to see him,"
"Kid you can't get out of the bed you know that at least not for a week,"
"But...Dad, I was horrible..I told him we needed to end the relationship...I was wrong..what if I never have a chance at learning about us again?"
"You will son, he's never given up on you,"
"I really hurt him dad, you should have seen his face..."
"You still have a mobile Kurt..." Burt grinned as he took it out of his pocket and handed to Kurt who looked surprised.
"You have my mobile?"
"I kinda grounded you after getting wasted...and at times I was allowed to take it off you,"
Kurt blushed.
"Call him kiddo, he needs you too you know,"
Kurt nodded as Burt promised to come back an hour later.
Kurt looked through his phonebook and found Blaine's name immediately calling.
It picked up on the second ring.
"Hello?" An unfamiliar voice answered.
"Uh...I'm looking for Blaine Anderson...is...is this the right number?"
"Kurt!?"
"OMG GUYS KURT'S AWAKE!"
A whole bunch of boys came on the phone then on speaker obviously startling him asking him how he was.
"S...ssorry how do I know you all?"
They all stopped immediately somebody whispering that's why Blaine's upset.
Kurt felt guilt.
"Kurt...um...we're Blaine's friends, we go to his school,"
"Why do you have his phone?" He asked in curiosity.
Someone sighed.
"Blaine hasn't seen us for a week, we saw him coming in yesterday as though he wasn't even there, like he'd seen a ghost, he looked horrible Kurt, we thought you had died, he didn't bother to pick up his phone and we heard it vibrating in his bag, we were in a Warbler's meeting to discuss what to do with Blaine, and Wes told us to find out if the phone was somebody who could answer our concerns,"
Kurt immediately regretted telling Blaine to end it now after hearing them describe his appearance.
"...I...it's my fault...I don't remember Blaine...I...the doctor says I had a 2 year memory loss that is curable but I'm scared, I don't know who I am or who my friends are anymore...I hadn't meant to tell him to end what we have, but I just don't understand what it is we have,"
Silence.
"Hello?"
"Kurt...Blaine's heart is probably broken..."
"What?!"
The Warblers mumbled to each other with sympathetic groans and sighs as Nick talked.
"He loves you, he was going to tell you too the night you got into the accident,"
He loves me? Kurt thought.
I've never had anyone love me before...
"How can I fix this?"
"...do you trust us enough to help you understand?"
Kurt was still scared, but his...boyfriend...was gutted because of him...he was heartbroken because of him...
Blaine was losing himself because of him...
and Kurt didn't want to lose Blaine after seeing him care so much.
"Yeah...okay,"
"Good...first of all we need to tell you how you met..."
