A women behind the counter look up at them startled as the three looked around widely, trying to spot Kurt. Blaine was the first to see his boyfriend, huddled in a corner booth. He strode towards him, Cooper and Elizabeth following, and Kurt looked up, flinching.

He scurried out of the booth and was in Blaine's arms before they could blink. He clung to Blaine tightly, his shoulder shaking and Blaine could feel hot tears rolling down his neck and he held onto Kurt tightly.

"What happened?" Blaine asked gently, stroking Kurt back. Elizabeth came and soothed his hair, eyes trailing over his dirty blazer and pants. Kurt just sobbed loudly and clung to Blaine tightly.

"Come on KK," Elizabeth soothed. "Let's get you out of here."

Blaine gently released Kurt and put his hand on the small of his back and propelled him forward. Kurt kept his head bowed but his shoulders shook as he cried. They hurried him through the diner to the car and they all slipped in. Cooper started the car quickly and pulled out quickly, not wanting to be here any longer.

Blaine helped Kurt with his seat belt and watched him worriedly. Elizabeth turned in her seat and looked at her son worriedly.

"Kurt, what happened?" Elizabeth asked and Kurt sniffed loudly and hiccupped.

"Karofsky came to Dalton," he sobbed, looking at his mother with wide eyes full of fear. "He was waiting for me."

Elizabeth gripped the seat tightly, her knuckles turning white. Cooper swallowed thickly and his hands shook slightly but he didn't dare take his eyes of the road.

"How did he know where you transferred?" Elizabeth asked with a shaking voice.

"Finn told him," Kurt hiccupped. "the stupid idiot told him."

"Did he hurt you?" Blaine demanded and Kurt shook under his hands.

"He pushed me," Kurt sniffed. "and he tried to kiss me."

"Again?" Blaine gasped.

"Again?" Cooper echoed, frowning while Elizabeth eyes narrowed and her lips pursed in anger. "What do you mean again?"

"Karofsky," Elizabeth growled. "Forced a kiss on Kurt and threatened to kill him."

Kurt whimpered and buried his head into Blaine's arm. He quickly rubbed his boyfriends back to soothe him. Elizabeth winced and let out a shaky breath.

"He didn't get to kiss me," Kurt sobbed, looking at Blaine. "I didn't let him. I'm sorry, I didn't want him too."

"What? Kurt no you don't have to be sorry," Blaine gasped, cupping his boyfriends face. "He should be apologizing."

Kurt hiccupped again and Blaine wiped away his tears.

"It's going to be okay KK," Elizabeth soothed.

"We won't let him near you again," Cooper growled.

"Cooper, can you take us to my parents place? I don't trust that he doesn't know where we live," Elizabeth asked. "It's not far from here."

"Yeah, no problem," Cooper nodded. Elizabeth smiled and squeezed his arm gently before turning her attention back to her son who was sniffling miserably in the back, Blaine whispering soothing things to him and wiping away every tear that tracked down his cheeks. The rest of the trip was spent in silence, the only sounds of Kurt sniffing and small whimpers that escaped him every known and then.

Elizabeth sent a message to her sister Mildred and told her what was going on and that she would call her later. Mildred had finally found a place closer to Lima and was in the process of packing up her old house. Cooper pulled up to Grant and Claire's home and parked. He let out a low whistle and Elizabeth chuckled quietly.

Blaine slipped out of the car and helped Kurt out. Elizabeth led them to the front door. She rang the doorbell before letting themselves in. They made it to the living room before Claire came wondering in, a look of surprise on her face.

"What are you doing here?" she asked, confused. "Why aren't those boys in school?"

"Kurt was kidnapped," Elizabeth said quietly and Kurt let out a little sob, resulting Blaine pulling him closer. Claire gasped and brought a hand to her mouth.

"Are you serious?" she asked, hardly daring to believe it.

"Yes," Elizabeth swallowed thickly. "I need you to watch over Kurt and Blaine while Cooper and I go deal with the police."

"Of course," Claire nodded. "Ring your father and get him to meet you at the police station. He'll be able to help you."

"Okay," Elizabeth nodded. She moved to Kurt and Blaine stepped aside to give the two some privacy. Elizabeth cupped her son's cheek and wiped his cheeks with her thumb. "Don't worry KK, I'm going to fix this, I promise."

"I'm sorry," Kurt sniffed, looking at her miserably.

"You don't need to apologize," Elizabeth soothed him. "You've done nothing wrong. I'm just glad you are okay."

Kurt nodded and she kissed his cheek before lowering her hands and stepping back.

"Cooper? Do you mind?" Elizabeth asked and he shook his head.

"No, of course not. Come on," Cooper smiled softly at her and they headed out together. Claire looked Kurt over and tutted softly.

"Kurt, you need to change so I can get your clothes clean," she said softly. Kurt nodded and grabbed Blaine's hand before pulling him upstairs to his room where he had some spare clothes. Claire made to protest about Kurt taking Blaine to his room but stopped herself. The two of them looked rattled enough as it was and she didn't want to make Kurt anymore upset.

Upstairs Kurt led Blaine to his room. When they were inside, he dropped his hand and moved to the closet, ripping his blazer off in the process. Blaine moved to the bed and sunk down on it and swallowed as Kurt started stripping. He caught a glimpse of the expanse of Kurt's pale back before looking down to his lap, giving him privacy.

"Blaine?" Kurt whispered and Blaine looked back up. Kurt was dressed again, his arms wrapped around his body. Blaine stood and gently pulled Kurt into his arms.

"I'm sorry," Kurt sniffed. "I didn't want him too."

"I know you didn't," Blaine whispered. "I'm just glad you are okay. I love you so much Kurt."

"I love you. I love you," Kurt whimpered and pressed his lips frantically against Blaine's. Another tear tracked his cheek and Blaine wiped it way. Blaine pulled away and gently soothed Kurt.

"It's okay," he murmured. "Just breath Kurt." He took Blaine's advice and tried to calm himself down but he couldn't help but remember the fear that plagued him while he was at McKinley and the abuse he suffered. "Are you hurt anywhere?"

"I don't think so," Kurt answered hoarsely. "My back hurt a little from where he tackled me."

Blaine nodded and gently led Kurt to the bed. Kurt crawled onto it and laid down. He looked so small and scared that it broke Blaine heart. He quickly took off his shoes and crawled over next to Kurt. He laid down beside him and Kurt was lying on him in a instant.

He wrapped his arms around his boyfriend tightly and held him close, gently placing soft kisses on his tear stained cheeks.

"I love you," Blaine murmured and Kurt relaxed into his embrace.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Grant, Elizabeth and Cooper came back late that night, spending hours at the police station talking to them and informing them in on the situation that was going on.

After much yelling, a few tears, and many 'that's not good enough' they finally settled on a restraining order. Claire was waiting them, her face anxious.

"What happened?" she asked immediately.

"We got a restraining order against the boy," Grant told her and Claire smiled, relieved.

"Where are the boys?" Elizabeth asked tiredly.

"They're upstairs," Claire told her. She nodded and quickly hurried up the stairs. She walked swiftly to Kurt's room and paused in the doorway and smiled at the sight before her.

Kurt and Blaine were curled up with each other, fast asleep. Blaine was holding Kurt protectively in his arms, Kurt's face tucked up against his shoulder.

Their faces were relaxed but Elizabeth could still see tear stains on her son's cheeks. She didn't want to wake the boys and decided that she would tell them in the morning. She switched off the light and left to sleep.

Kurt gently shifted in Blaine's arms and sighed contently in his sleep. Blaine tightened his grip and they slept on, lost in their dreams of each other.
