Kurt just stared at the floor and thought ‘Why ME!’ sniffing his tears back, he could hear the Jocks laughing at him from down the hallway, but he knew the answer, he was too low on the High School food-chain, too stylish, too good looking and too GAY! His right shoulder hurt like hell and he knew he would have another bruise there later, but no-one came to his aid or told a teacher… hell even the teachers looked the other way.
Karofsky had told him that he would kill him if he told anyone of what happened…. Kurt was scared, like really scared he didn’t want to die. He decided to get up when the late bell sounded but didn’t want to go to any classes, so he went back to his car got in and drove away from WMHS.

Kurt looked at his digital car clock which only read ’10.23am’ – so what now does he continue driving around Lima, go home or …

Kurt took the turning leading off to main highway for the short journey to the cemetery where his Mother resided. He parked up in the Visitors car-park, got out and wandered over to his mothers’ grave, sitting down looking over the headstone and cried. He sobbed uncontrollably right there at his moms grave, grieving for himself and for everything happening to him which no-one seemingly wanted to know or help with. Then something just changed within him he felt … well he felt damn good like the weight of the world had just been lifted off his shoulders. He looked around for anything/one something strange was always going on in Lima, but didn’t see or hear anything, funny he could always ‘Feel’ what was going on like his empathy talent could just pow, kick in and sometimes save him, today was an exception he didn't see Karofsky gunning for him.

Kurt said his goodbyes to his Mom got back into his car, but didn’t start the engine just sat there thinking – I’ve got to tell Dad what is going on.

A couple of weeks later Kurt was standing in his bedroom looking around fondly trying desperately to remember everything taking a deep breath and holding it … one, two breathe out. Kurt walked out of his home where his Dad, Stepmom Carol and Finn waited by the vehicles. Burt had decided to sell up everything and move lock stock and barrel away from Lima to protect his Boy! If the School and board of Governors didn’t want to protect his boy, then he would by going somewhere else that would be safer for Kurt.

“So Dad gonna tell us where we’re headed?” Kurt asked, as Finn looked up also as the boys were being kept in the dark over where they were going to live.
Burt looked over at Carol and said “You wanna tell ‘em?”
Carol laughed and said “You” giving Burt a wink
Boy how lucky had he got when Kurt introduced Carol to him at that meeting, Burt thought.

“Well boys it not too long a journey but well I need to protect you both and Carol and I have agreed to move to Westerville.”

Kurt thought what the hell is in Westerville?
Finn smiled and said “Can I still go to McKinley?” thinking that it was only about an hour’s drive away from Lima and Rachel.
Carol laughed again, as Burt tutted and said “Sure Sweetie, that’s why we chose Westerville. Kurt’s new school is there and you can still attend school here.”
Kurt caught up “Wait, What my new school? Dad, Carol what school are you talking about”

Burt looked over at Kurt and smiled “Kurt you know I love you and now Carol and Finn are family too, so we thought that we could get you in to Dalton Academy for Boys. “and Carol said “Yes Kurt it has a no bullying scheme which is enforced so you will be safer there.” She smiled at Kurt.
WOW! Thought Kurt he then remembered something about Dalton what was it oh yeah they had a Glee club named after a bird or something…. Hmmmmm maybe it won’t be so bad.

They all piled into the vehicles with Burt and Carol taking the U-Haul truck first with the boys bringing up the rear in their cars (well technically Carol’s car but Finn borrowed it more lately).

It didn’t take too long to get to their new home and Finn and Kurt bounded up to the front door where most of the family’s belongings were already in.

“Dad this is great! Wow Carol have you seen the kitchen.” Kurt said Carol laughed again “ Yes Kurt, now go upstairs before Finn claims all the bedrooms as his”
Kurt went upstairs where Finn was exclaiming “Dude, you gotta see this, my rooms really cool!”

Kurt looked through his brothers doorway and thought very nice. Oh is that an en-suite OMG Finn get out this is my room! But then went to his room and ‘YES!’ he had an en-suite too no more sharing bathrooms with Finn.
Just then his cell buzzed.

Kurt, you there yet? Tell me boy - ;D Cedes
Kurt rattled off a quick response and said he would skype her later and got another text stating she would await his call later.

“Kurt? You ready yet?” Burt called up the stairs as he heard his son coming out of his room replying
“Yes Dad”, Kurt coming into view wearing his Dalton uniform and not really liking it, but hey if this was all he had to complain about going to Dalton then he would put up with it.

“Okay you got everything yeah?” Burt asked
Kurt replied again “Yes Dad but I got to go now otherwise I’ll be late. Bye” as Kurt left with his bag, keys for his Navigator and cell he heard his Dad say
“Okay Kiddo, well look after yourself and don’t forget where we live.” Kurt just smiled and waved before heading out the door for Dalton Academy.

Kurt parked his car in his allocated space for student boarders and went into and upto his dorm room. Quickly he went in and got the book he forgot to take with him when he went home for the weekend and left to grab something to eat before lessons started.
