Blaine’s POV
It was still the same I thought that the night he asked me to come to bed will be a progress on fixing our marriage but I am wrong.
Tonight I decided to go to a bar and have a couple of drinks to forget everything. It’s been a while since I had a drink. While I was busy drinking my 3rd beer someone called my name as I turned around I saw my two best friends Wes and David.
“What are you two doing here in New York?” I asked as I gave them a hug.
“Work, and why are you here in a bar alone and drowning yourself to alcohol” Wes said when they settled beside me and start drinking too.
“Nothing, just unwinding for a bit” I lied
“How’s Kurt?”
“He’s great; he just came home last night from Paris.”
Then David and Wes looked at each other like they know something’s going on.
“What’s wrong?”
“We saw Kurt 3 days ago in the hotel where we are staying” David confessed
“Are you sure it’s him?” I confirmed as I drink my beer straight.
“Yeah, it was him. You should stop drinking Blaine you’re drunk already.”
“We can drive you home” David suggested
“its fine, I can go home safely. Don’t worry about me”
Wes and David didn’t argue with me anymore. They sit in silence with me until “I knew it even before you guys told me that he’s seeing someone” I break down in front of my two best friends. “My marriage is on the rocks and I don’t know how to fix it anymore. I can’t blame him, this is all my fault in the first place.”
Kurt’s POV
Brian and I settled our argument. He said sorry for pushing me again and he’ll wait until I’m ready. I looked at the clock it says 1 am and Blaine isn’t still here. I tried to call him but he’s out of reach, I called his office saying he left at 7 pm. I’m worried about him.
When I heard footsteps downstairs I hurriedly went down to find him taking his coat and shoes off. I can smell alcohol all over him.
“You drive home drunk?”
“Yeah, why do you even care about me driving drunk?” he asked sarcastically.
I am surprised by his comment then I remembered that he’s drunk. His true feelings are expressed if he’s drunk. I looked at him, he looks so miserable and bags are under his eyes seems like he didn’t get any sleep at all.
“You should take a bath”
“no, I’ll be fine”
“Let’s get you to bed” I insist. I still care for him and I can’t leave him like this. He may choked on his own vomit and die.
“No thanks, I’ll sleep on the couch”
This causes me to yell at him. He’s being stubborn again.
“What the hell Blaine! I am trying to take care of you but all you did is shrug me off. I thought you want us to work?” I yelled at him.
“Don’t pretend that you cared for me because you didn’t. Yes I want our marriage to work, I tried everything but you’re the one who gave up on us already.”
“So I am the problem now?” I spat at him.
“I did not say that” He says calmly how can he switch emotion quickly? Maybe it’s one of the effects of alcohol.
No one bothered to break the silence between us. I can see the tears forming on his eyes.
“You’re punishing me for what I did, I understand that and I’ll do everything for you to take me back. But you never game the chance to. I prepared and asked you for dinner but you turned me down and the one that hurt’s the most is you cancelling our anniversary date.
Flashback
It’s our 5th anniversary and I know that Blaine prepared something for this day. I also want to reminisce this day even just today we can forget what we’re going through.
I checked on brian to cancel our date for today, he didn’t answer my call so I went to his flat. I have few hours to prepare for our date.
Then I found him on his bed sneezing and shaking. He was sick and I decided to take care of him. When I checked the clock it was 7:30 pm I am 30 minutes late as I was about to get up and leave. Brian hold my hand and says “please, stay just tonight”.
End of flashback
Tears start to flow on my cheeks; I didn’t notice that I am crying as I listen to my husband.
“I feel that there is someone but I keep disregarding that idea off, because I trust you enough to suspect on you. I want you to be honest with me is there someone?”
I can’t lie to him anymore so I told him the truth.
“Yes” I answered softly.
“How long?”
But I did not answer that question.
“You’re pretending to me that you want us to work but in the end I am the only one who’s trying” He said as he started to cry.
“How could you say that?!”
“If you want this to work you should had left him, but you didn’t.”
“What did you see in him?” Blaine asked as he stand beside a mirror.
“He made me feel love and wanted”
“And I didn’t make you feel like that?” He asked with exasperation.
“Yes, because you’re world revolved around your fucking business!”
“That’s not true!”
“You’re still trying to prove yourself to your dad”
I knew that I hit him hard on that comment. Then I saw him knock off the mirror beside him. His hand starts to bleed.
“How did we end up on this?”
“I don’t know” is the only answer I can give him at this moment.
I am crying hysterically right now.
“I’ve made a fool out of myself. I saw the signs but I disregarded it all. I am sorry Kurt that I am not the man you married 5 years ago. I am sorry that I didn’t make you feel love. You don’t know that every time I stayed late at the office I am thinking of you and the ways I can make it up to you. Yes I want to prove something to dad, that I am not a failure but I guess I am I can’t even satisfy my husband. I am working hard not for myself but for us because I want us to have a family. Remember the time we talked about kids, you says you want one and I want to be ready for that. But I guess that’s not happening anymore. I can’t blame you but you should have told me earlier and stop pretending to care because that’s what hurts the most”
All this time I never considered his side.
