They didnt even bother to speak with anyone else and walked towards the exit to the building; he could see the crowd of paparazzi waiting outside for him and pulled his hood back up. He turned to Kurt taking his arm.
"Dont answer any of the questions, keep your head down and just hold onto me ok?" He said and Kurt nodded looking wide-eyed at the people taking pictures of them through the glass doors.
They walked forward towards the exit, taking a breath before pushing open the door. As soon as they took a step outside they were bombarded with cameras, flashing and questions coming from different angles.
"Why did you break up with your long term girlfriend to go out with a guy straight away? Did you want to break her heart?" A reported yelled.
"How do you think your fans are going to react to you being gay?" Another yelled more cameras and microphones getting shoved in their faces.
He started to push through them holding on to Kurts arm as tight as he could.
"Do you think this will ruin your career?" Another said as he pushed past.
"How did you get Blaine to fall in love with you?" One yelled shoving a microphone in Kurts face. "Whats the secret to getting into Blaines bed?"
He could see the shock on Kurts face and he started to move faster and push harder.
"Its ok," he whispered and Kurt nodded though he looked pale.
They finally reached the road and he put his hand out waiting for a taxi to stop, a couple went past before one stopped. They jumped in as more questions were thrown their way and he slammed the door shut telling the driver what hotel they were going to.
He grabbed onto Kurts hand and he flinched slightly.
"Sorry," he said placing a kiss on Kurts cheek. "Didnt mean to jump you".
"Not your fault, just shook me up a bit, has that happened to you before?" Kurt asked and he nodded.
"Yeah, after me and Jess got together, it was on a smaller scale but it was still frightening," he said laying his head on Kurts shoulder.
"Are you going to tell them that you and Jess were never together?" Kurt asked and he looked to the floor.
"Yeah I guess but I didnt want to make everything worse by saying everything was a lie, that I was lying to my fans," he replied.
"But you were," Kurt replied quietly and he nodded.
"I know, I just dont want them to hate me and I didnt want to make people hate Jess either, though shes not a very nice person I dont want her to get harassed about what we were doing," he said and Kurt nodded running his hand down his arm.
After that the rode in silence and arrived at the hotel not long later, they walked inside and was grateful that the paparazzi wasnt anywhere to be seen.
The walked in and Kurt stopped. "Im going to get us some drinks and something to eat, you go up to the room," Kurt said and he hesitated but nodded.
"Just call me if you need anything," he said kissing Kurt on top of the head.
He walked to the elevator having lost all motivation of using the stairs and pressed the button, the doors pinged open and he stepped inside letting it take him to the fifth floor.
He searched in his pockets pulling out the door key before opening it; he walked inside groaning at the realisation of what hed just done. "Shit," he said looking at the ceiling.
He walked towards the bed about to flop down onto it when he heard a voice.
"Aw Blainers, something got you down?" A familiar voice behind him said and he turn so quickly that he almost tripped over his feet. Hands grabbed him, caught off guard and he was shoved into the wall smacking his head.
"Jess, what the hell are you doing here?" He asked dazed.
"So you publicly dump me but dont have the guts to say it to my face?" She spat and he groaned his head was spinning.
"We spit when I fired Steve, you two were like a package deal," he said trying to push Jess off but him being dazed and her being a little taller than he was gave her the upper hand.
"Let me go Jess, let us go," he said and she gave him piercing eyes.
She moved dragging him with her as she moved towards the balcony, he started to struggle but suddenly there was a knife at his neck making him move with her.
"Jess, please you have to stop this, its not worth it," he said fear running through him as she grabbed him around the waist and placed the knife at his neck firmly.
"Wheres the queer assistant?" She asked and his heart jumped, Kurt was going to be back any minute.
"Hes out," he said as the grip on his waist tightened.
They moved out onto the balcony. "Sit on the balcony fence Blaine," she said and he shook his head.
"No," he said and Jess shoved the knife harsher into his neck and he closed his eyes. He was sure that she had cut him.
"I said, get onto the fence Blaine!" She said and he did as he was told and jumped up sitting on the fence. Jess was troubled and he knew that she wouldnt think twice before cutting his throat.
"Jess, stop," he said as she grabbed a fist full of his shirt.
"Blaine we were meant to be together, I dont understand," Jess said tears starting to run down her face.
"Jess, you still have Steve right?" He said warily.
"Steve fired me when you fired him, youve ruined me Blaine," she said through clenched teeth.
"Im sorry," he said his heart pounding.
"No youre not Blaine, you wanted this to happen, all I wanted to do was love you," Jess said moving closer to him so she was leading against his knees.
"Jess you need help, just put the knife down and let me go," he said as the door to the room opened and Kurt walked inside. He wanted to yell for him to turn around and leave but he didnt want to piss Jess off further.
He saw Kurt face drop when he saw them. "Blaine!" Kurt yelled moving towards him leaving the food that hed brought on the bed.
"I swear if you come closer I will drop him," Jess threatened and Kurt paused just as he before the balcony doors.
"Jess let me go, I swear things will get better for you," he said softly trying to calm her down.
"No they wont, not if I dont have you," she sobbed.
"Jess, put Blaine down," Kurt said and the fear in his eyes made his heart break.
"Im sorry, but if I cant have him, no one can," Jess said and his heart skipped a beat.
"No Jess!" He screamed as he was pushed backwards. He could hear Kurt screaming as he fell and he swore that his life flashed before his eyes.
He was going to die; he closed his eyes and waited for the impact.
He plunged into water his mouth and filled making him choke, he pushed himself to the surface noticing that he had landed in the pool and started to cough and splutter. He looked up and Jess and Kurt were nowhere to be seen.
He swam to the edge adrenaline taking over and climbed out running back into the building.
…
He felt like his heart had been torn out, his heart being crushed as Blaine was forced off the balcony. He had screamed falling to his knees not daring to look over the edge to see Blaines fate.
Jess had walked back into the room not looking either.
"This is your fault," she said as tears cascaded down his face. "He would have never come out if it wasnt for you," she said and he nodded.
"I know," he sobbed.
Jess walked towards him punching him in the face and he fell lying on the floor.
He didnt have the energy to move, he felt like his life was over.
"How could you?!" He yelled with grief.
"No! How could you?! He was mine!" Jess yelled back walking around him knife still in her hand.
"He was never yours! He never loved you," he yelled back earning him a kick to the stomach.
He groaned and then Jess smiled looking at him.
"Theyre going to think this was you," she said and he looked at her like she was crazy.
"No, there are cameras, theres proof that I didnt do it," he said starting to feel sick.
"There arent any cameras in the room and I only came up to talk to Blaine and there you were pushing him off the balcony and yelling at him," she said with a sneer on her lips.
"People are not going to believe that," he sobbed feeling his hands starting to shake.
"Why not? Blaines fans love me and Im too innocent to do something like this," She asked but he didnt have an answer. Jess was a lot more in the public eye and she was right Blaines fans loved her.
Jess smiled and walked towards the door to the room.
"No!" He yelled pushing himself to his feet to go after her but she turned showing him the knife.
"Follow me and I swear youre next," Jess said and he fell back to his knees as Jess disappeared out of the door.
"Damn it!" He yelled sobbing. He curled in on himself hoping that everything would go away, closing his eyes tight as his heart ached.
He wanted to go down and see Blaine but he couldnt do it, he couldnt move.
"Blaine," he whispered a sob.
He stayed that way for about ten minutes planning to stay that way for the rest of his life but the door to the room opened.
He didnt move keeping his eyes closed, he didnt want to hear that his boyfriend was dead and he was being arrested for murder.
He felt a soft wet hand on his back. "Kurt," a soft voice said and his eyes flew open.
"Blaine?" He asked not looking up to confirm just in case. "Please say thats you and Im not hearing things?" He said and he felt wet arms wrapping around him.
"Its me," Blaine said and he uncurled and fell into Blaine embrace.
"I thought you were dead," he sobbed.
"Me to for a minute, but the pool is next to our balcony," Blaine said.
"I wondered why you were all wet," he said pulling Blaine closer.
"We need to stop Jess, she said she was going to blame this on me," he said trying to get up but Blaine held him in place.
"She got caught, I told the security down stairs what shed done and then she appeared in the lobby, you should have seen her face when she saw I was alive and not hurt. She tried to run but the security got her and took her, there are cameras on placed facing the balconies which can prove that she pushed me," Blaine explained. "They said I just have to put in a statement and she has to plead guilty and there wont be a trial".
"Do you think she will plead guilty?" He asked and Blaine nodded.
"With the evidence that we have I think she will," Blaine replied.
He took a breath of relief and snuggled closer to Blaine.
"Are you ok? Did you get hurt at all?" He asked looking into Blaine beautiful honey eyes.
"Im fine, I was just worried about you," Blaine said helping him to his feet.
"I thought my life was over, it just told me how much I love you," Kurt said and Blaine trailed his hand where Jess had punched him.
"Did she hit you?" He asked and he nodded.
"Yeah but I didnt really feel it, I was too busy grieving," he said and Blaine kissed the forming bruise.
"This is going to be on the news when the news that Jess has been arrested gets out," Blaine said and he nodded.
"I assumed," he said.
"But all of this has made me think and I want to apply to NYADA with you," Blaine said and he felt himself perk up a little.
"Really?" He asked taking hold of Blaines hands.
"Really, I want to support you with your dream and going back to school might be fun," he said smiling.
"Thats great Blaine," he said kissing him on the lips.
"I love you so much," he said and Blaine kissed him.
"I love you too," Blaine replied.
