After 2 weeks, Rachel called me to meet up with her just to catch up. After she heard the break-up from Kurt, she and Finn visited me at the hotel room I'm staying at. I'm planning on moving back to Chicago or Ohio just to get away from this place. Everything about New York is reminding me about Kurt, because he's the reason why I am here.
Flashback
"Why are you leaving New York? Your business is good, no need to transfer again." Rachel told me as we drink our wine.
"New York is not for me, I am glad that dad trusted me with our business here for a while, besides I have no reason in staying here anymore."
"I am sorry Blaine; I don't know why Kurt did this." She replied sadly and squeezed my hand.
"Maybe this is the best for both of us; don't worry about me I'll be okay." I told her with a smile.
Rachel and Finn have been supported to our relationship and until now they're here with me, even Kurt is Rachel's best friend and Finn is his brother.
I flew back to Chicago to talk with dad about me transferring to Chicago for good.
"Blaine!" My mom called me as she gives me a tight hug, We haven't seen each other since last Christmas.
"Mom" I greeted back and kisses her cheek, beside her was my dad smiling and giving me also a welcome back hug.
Dad and me has been in good terms before I left Ohio, he told me he was sorry for all the things that he did and for not accepting my sexuality. I was crying after dad apologize because I never thought I may hear those sorry and explanation from him. Mom and Cooper was extremely happy after knowing that Dad and me had patched things up.
"Hey, I think you forgot about me!" Cooper shouted from behind and bear hug me.
"Cooper!" I called and tap his back.
"This is great my two boys are back," My mom commented excitedly and continued, "I'll make something special for this unbelievable happening."
Cooper and I barely came home because of our respective jobs and commitments so I am not surprise that we got reaction like this from mom, it's always been her and dad at home.
Dad and I talked about me moving back to Chicago to replace his position as the C.E.O. he's going to retire this coming summer and I am about to take his position. Cooper as always doesn't have any concern in running the business because he is always too busy with his responsibilities in Show business, so Dad asked if I can be the one to continue the Anderson's Enterprises.
That night, sleep won't come in so I decided to go in our backyard to find my brother drinking beers.
"You can't sleep too" Cooper stated as he gives me a bottle.
"Yeah, I just took sleeping pills sometimes so I can sleep."
"What happened?" He seriously asked.
"He wakes up one morning and feels that he didn't love me anymore." I told him without emotion, I can't feel anything anymore, I was numb already to the feeling of Kurt breaking up with me.
"It's impossible; I've seen the two of you it's like you're too strong to break up just like that and for that reason."
"Believe me; I thought it was impossible too. Then I came home one night and all of my dreams of a future with him suddenly shattered right in front of me when he told me that he wants us to see other people." I replied as I drink my first bottle, I looked at my brother and asked, "What about you?"
"Leah and I has been having problems, she keeps asking me when I will commit to her"
Leah was Cooper's girlfriend for 3 years, I saw her thrice when they went together here in Chicago so she can meet the whole Anderson Clan.
"Like marriage?"
"Yup."
"Well, you two have been together for 3 years so I think it is reasonable to asked about marriage. And you're not going to last these long if you're not serious with her."
"I am serious about her, its just marriage is a big thing and a lot can change if I get married. Like my career, it's going to be different." Cooper confessed.
I softly laughed at our situation
"Look at us, one who's willing to commit but been dump by his boyfriend of 5 years and one who's not willing to commit but his girlfriend still stays by his side even there's no clear future for them."
Cooper nodded his head and said "Relationship makes everything complicated."
Kurt's POV
"He's gone Kurt."
"Where?"
"Chicago, he's gone for good. I talked to him last week."
"He gave up New York?"
"He gave up Chicago, Ohio, even Sydney just to be in New York."
I was struck by what Rachel just said, Blaine has been offered to different Universities but in the end he chooses New York, because of me.
Blaine has given and sacrificed enough, and what did I do in return? Break his heart and hurt him like hell.
5 years after the painful break up…
Blaine take over his dad's business making him belong to the youngest business man in Forbes Magazine. He didn't know he'll love the business world but he learned to appreciate and love the world where he belongs now.
While Kurt on the other hand is still a fashion designer and an editor in chief in a magazine in fashion and lifestyle, he's been in a steady relationship for 3 years with a guy name Bryan who's also a businessman. He met him in a party for their company, he could not forget this guy because he's the only person who manages to spill red wine into his expensive clothes, that's where it all started.
He found out that this guy was a gentleman and he loves music even he doesn't have any talent in that area. He was caring in his own way, always showy to what he feels.
Burt met him thrice and the old man as usual gave him the protective father aura making Bryan uncomfortable.
Rachel and Finn got married 3 years ago, you'll be surprise to know that Rachel Berry gives up Broadway and went back home to Ohio with Finn.
He once asked her if she's sure about the decision and without a doubt his sister in law answered her.
Flashback
"Are you sure about this? I mean going back to Ohio, really?"
"Giving up my New York dream is one of the hardest decision that I ever made, but it's not really what I want Kurt. Yes, I've been over head heels with New York and Broadway while were in high school, but it is different now. I am married to your brother and I want to start a family with him. It's more precious than a spotlight in stage."
They move back a year ago, Rachel just opened up her own acting/singing studio for those who aspire to became a Broadway star or a singer, while his brother got his job as a football coach in one of the University in Ohio. Going back to their hometown wasn't bad for the couple.
Kurt's POV
I was currently searching for my fashion magazine when Bryan's business mag landed right in front of me. I am not a fan of magazine like this I think it was boring and dull compared to the magazines I write and edit.
I was surprise to see Blaine as their front cover, I stared at the picture this wasn't the man who wore suspenders and bowties back in high school. He's wearing elegant business attire, looking good and handsome as ever. His hair was light gelled back making him look more clean and presentable.
It's been 5 years since the break-up, he shouldn't be reading this but he can't force his self not to wonder how Blaine's doing now. He was intrigued if he has a boyfriend like him or if he's married. So he decided to scan the magazine landing him exactly on the interview page.
Most of the questions were about business he was about to close the magazine when his eyes caught one personal question.
"is there someone special in your life now Blaine?" the interviewer asked.
"No one,"
"How long have you been single?"
"5 years,"
"That's too long I think, you might be waiting for someone isn't it?"
"Having relationship is not in my mind right now."
End of Interview
So Blaine has been single since the break up he was too preoccupied in reading the article that he didn't notice that Bryan arrived home.
"Hey," Bryan called my attention as he gave me a kiss.
"You're home"
"Well yes, are you really reading my magazine? You said it was boring?" He teasingly asked.
"I was searching for my magazine when this drops off." I replied as I put the magazine back in the rack.
"Are you packed for our flight tomorrow?"
"Yup, I am ready as I can be."
Bryan and I were going back home to Ohio for 3 weeks, just to visit our respective families.
Blaine's POV
I am sitting in my office reading proposals. It's been my routine, waking up around 6 am, taking a jog up to 7 am then getting ready for a long day of work. Sometimes I went out with some of my business partners in a party or club just to get loose.
This has been me after the break up putting myself back to work, working too hard just to avoid thinking and remembering the break up.
I was about to read the and signed the 5th proposal when my phone suddenly rings..
"hello?"
"Blaine,it's wes" Wes greeted me.
"Oh hey, what's up with your wedding?"
"I'm getting married next week and you're coming right?"
"Of course why wouldn't I? I'm your best man I needed to be there."
"Great! I'll see you next week Anderson."
"Yup, say hi for me to David."
"Sure, that guy misses you."
I laughed as we hang up. David and Wes is going to get married this year leaving me alone as the single one in marital status.
I don't know why I am still single even it's been 5 years, I didn't tried to make relationship because I know that I'm still not ready. I might hurt the person I will commit myself too if I can't still move on from my past. If I will enter in a relationship I want to be sure that I am ready to give in and be vulnerable again to pain it may cause.
