The door clicked and Blaine woke. He opened one eye and stared at his uncle.

"Get up," Blaine's uncle said while standing in the door way glaring at Blaine.

"Why? Am I going back to school?" Blaine asked.

Uncle John narrowed his eyes at Blaine. "Do you want to go or do you want a repeat of yesterday Blaine? Because that's fine with me," John said and started to close the door.

"No wait," Blaine yelled. He threw the cover off of himself and lunged at the door. But he was too late. John smiled outside as the door shut. He could hear Blaine banging from the other side. Blaine fists began to hurt and he stepped back as his bedroom door began to open again, stopping half way. Blaine could hear his uncle’s footsteps walking away.

Blaine opened the door quick enough to see his uncle turn the corner and go down the stairs. He quickly changed his clothes and grabbed his school bag, already ready from the day before yesterday when he had thought he was going to school.

He looked around his room before running out of his bedroom; he had a smile on his face as he ran down the stairs. He stopped at the bottom of the stairs and took a breath and forced the smile away before he walked calmly in to the living room where Blaine's uncle was sitting on the couch watching television.

John took a glance towards Blaine, giving a sigh. John got off the couch as slowly as he could and walked towards Blaine giving him a shoulder barge as he went past. He wasn't overly bothered; he was just happy that he was going to see Kurt again. Just thinking about seeing Kurt again gave him butterflies and the smile returned again.

Blaine followed his uncle out to the car. He waited while John went to the other side of the car, his hate filled eyes fixed on Blaine. John came back around the car with an angry look on his face.

He grabbed Blaine, shoving him hard backwards until Blaine's back collided with the car. John brought his face closer to Blaine's and before he had registered the movement he felt his uncle's mouth against his ear.

"I hate you do you know that? The only reason I'm putting up with you and your crap is because I loved my sister more than anything and she wanted me to look after you. This is what she would have wanted," John said with a voice laced with venom.

John backed away and started to walk back around to the other side of the car. Blaine could feel himself shaking.

"This is not what she would have wanted!" Blaine yelled at him.

Even before the words had left his mouth, he knew that he should have known better and kept his mouth shut. But he was sick and tired of everything.

John turned around, his face expression was so furious that Blaine felt himself shrinking, while John seemed taller than ever. John walked fast back towards him, screwing up his fist. Blaine braced himself for the punch, but nothing could have prepared him for how much it would hurt. John's fist made contact with Blaine's stomach, and he felt his muscles turning to jelly. He slid down the car trying to breathe. He felt himself being lifted back up and Blaine started to panic. He didn't want to get locked back up in that room again.

But to Blaine's surprise John opened the car door and shoved him inside. Blaine laid in the back of the car. He didn't dare to sit up. John slammed the door shut, only just missing Blaine's foot. He could hear John's footsteps as he went around the car, and then the front car door opened. John sat down and turned to Blaine.

"You really need to learn some respect, boy," John said before he turned back to the steering wheel.

Blaine didn't bother trying to put his seat belt on, he decided to stay on his back lying down for the ride. He adjusted his feet so that when they started to move he wouldn't fall of the seat.

John started the car and started backing out of the driveway. The movement of the car made the pain in Blaine's stomach worse. It felt like someone was stabbing him and he couldn't hold in a whimper. Blaine could see in the car mirror that his uncle started smiling at the sound of Blaine's pain. The smile caused a wave of anger going through him and he had to take deep breaths to try to calm himself down. It took some time, especially since every deep breath increased the pain, but Blaine managed to keep his anger in, something he felt very proud of.

The car came to an abrupt stop and Blaine couldn't keep himself from falling. He put his arms out and caught himself from falling to far between the seats. When he had shoved himself back to the position he was in before, he noticed that his uncle had got out of the car.

Blaine sat up just soon enough to see his uncle opening his door. Blaine backed away from him as far as he could, staring at his uncle. "I can get out myself." Blaine said as John started to make a grab for him. John backed away and looked at Blaine.

"Well, come on then!" John said impatiently.

Blaine quickly shuffled on the seats, pushing himself towards the open car door. Blaine held his stomach as he got out of the car and turned and grabbed his school bag that he had put beside him. He looked around looking to see where they had stopped and sighed with relief as he looked at the school building and then turned to his uncle who had already got back in the car. Blaine watched as his uncle's car skidded away from the school less than a minute after it had got there.

Blaine walked towards the school building. He tried to avoid eye contact with anyone who could give him a hard time. He reached the school doors and peered inside looking for Kurt, but he couldn't see him. Blaine didn't have a clue where he was supposed to go. He pulled out his timetable and looked at it to remember what lessons he had today. But before he could focus on it, he felt hands gripping his shoulders and he flinched.

"Hey, Blaine calm down it's just me." Kurt said with a soft voice.

Blaine's heart flipped at the sound of Kurt's voice and he turned around to greet him.

"Hey Kurt, you scared me," Blaine said trying to catch his breath. Kurt smiled and looked at the timetable in his hands.

"Oh, sorry. Didn't mean to scare you. And to make things worse you have math's first." Kurt said. "It's ok I like math," Blaine replied and watched Kurt pull a confused face.

Blaine laughed and Kurt laughed back. "Hey are we still on for tonight?" Kurt said winking at Blaine which made him blush.

"Yeah, sure!" Blaine said blushing even further.

"Good!" Kurt said with a smile and started to walk down the corridor.

Blaine stood still, he wasn't sure if Kurt wanted him to follow him and he didn't want to seem like a stalker. Kurt turned around and gave Blaine a weird look again.

"Aren't you coming?" Kurt yelled.

Blaine hurried after him. A smile appeared on his face, he felt so happy. It felt like someone wanted him around. It was a feeling he hadn’t felt in a long time, but it was a great feeling, a feeling that he wanted to feel more often.
