Blaine looked in the mirror at the bruise that had formed on his face. He looked to the floor before looking over to Kurt who was perched on the bed looking worriedly at Blaine.

It had been a couple of hours since he had crawled to the front door and Blaine's body ached with pain. Blaine hadn't dared to look at stomach.

"Are you ok?" Kurt asked walking over to Blaine and escorting him back over to his bed. He sat Blaine down and then looked down at him waiting for an answer. "Yeah I'm fine I just need to get home and I'm sure I'll be fine" he eventually said pain unintentionally laced in to every word.

"Oh you're not going home Blaine, look at you, you can hardly walk" Kurt said taking hold of the bottom of Blaine's shirt and began to pull it over the top of his head.

"Are you sure you don't mind?" Blaine asked but by the look on Kurt's face he already knew the answer. "Blaine you don't even have a choice in the matter" Kurt smiled and then finally got Blaine's shirt off.

Kurt looked at Blaine beaten and bruised body and gasped making Blaine frown and slowly look down at his beaten body. Just staring at the deep purple bruises seemed to make them hurt and begin to ache.

"I'm fine, Kurt" Blaine said trying to comfort him. Blaine took hold of his hand. He watched tears managed to escape his eyes and began to cascade down his face. Blaine leaned over pulling him over slowly. "Come here" Blaine whispered gently. Blaine gasped as Kurt pressed against his wounds and Kurt pulled back more tears falling down his face.

Blaine ignored the pain and pulled Kurt back in to his chest and laid down on the bed taking Kurt with him. "It's ok" Blaine said as Kurt started to resist.

Kurt started to relax a little in his arms and Blaine closed his eyes thinking about how much he loved Kurt and that he would do anything for him. In that moment he made a promise to himself that he wouldn't ever let anyone hurt him. A promise that he hoped that he could keep and would give his life to keep.

They both leaned in to each other Blaine still holding on to Kurt. He just wanted to hold him forever so that he could keep him safe.

They both closed their eyes and let the darkness take them.

Blaine woke pain burning through his whole body. He began to moan and stared down at his chest. Kurt had wrapped his arms tightly around his stomach.

"Kurt wake up" Blaine said but Kurt didn't even flinch. "KURT" Blaine screamed the pain to intense to handle for much longer.

Kurt's eyes flickered open and after second noticed what he was doing and threw himself off Blaine managing to throw himself off the bed and on to the floor.

Blaine's eyes widened and he jumped up. "Kurt! Are you ok?" Blaine asked jumping off the bed and offering to help him up.

Kurt just looked at Blaine's hand. "Blaine I'm so sorry I didn't notice-" he cut himself off and stared at the floor. Blaine reached down and sat next to him taking hold of his hand. "Kurt it's not your fault, come on we better start getting ready for school" he said looking at his watch noticing the time.

Kurt gave him a funny look. "Are you sure you want to go to school Blaine?" he asked concerned. Blaine frowned. "Kurt I promise you I'll be fine" he said standing up pulling Kurt up with him.

After the two had gotten changed they grabbed their school things and head out to the car. Kurt walked up to Blaine's car noticing blood on the top of it. Blaine's blood.

Blaine walked over behind him putting his hand oh his shoulder and guiding him away from the car. They walk out to the front of the house and stopped at Burt's car. "Do you think he will mind if we use his car?" Blaine asked.

"No he wont mind but I'm going to drive" Kurt said rushing in to the car and sitting in the driver's seat.

"I got the keys" Blaine said coming back from the house and chucking the keys through the window of the car to Kurt.

By the time that Blaine had gotten to the other side of the car and had gotten in Kurt had started the car and was ready to go.

It didn't take long before they were once again at the school gates. They got out and walked to the school entrance slowly opening the door and walking inside. They went straight to Blaine's locker and opened and the envelope was waiting for them.

Blaine looked to at the letter, then slowly ripped it open and then he started to read:

I'm glad that you turned up yesterday Blaine but now it's Kurt's turn. He is to meet me in the park but on the other south side of it near the block of flats at the same time. He's to follow the same instructions and come alone! I'm warning you that none of you family will come to any harm if you follow this letter to the word. /?/

Blaine looked up and shook his head. "No, you're not going you seen what he did to me! I'm not going to stand by while he does it to you" he ranted and Kurt looked to the floor. "I'm not going to let anyone else get hurt for this either so yes Blaine I am going!" he said looking in to Blaine's eyes and holding on to his arms.

Blaine frowned and tears welled up in his eyes. "Fine but can I wait at your house for you?" Blaine asked pulling him in to a hug. "Yeah, as soon as we're finished I'm coming straight home ok?" Kurt replied not wanting to let him go.

It had been a long day and Blaine and Kurt sat at the end of Kurt's bed in silence watching as the minutes went by. It was nearly time so Kurt got off the bed and turned to Blaine.

"I love you Blaine" Kurt said leaning down to his level and kissing him passionately on the lips. Blaine pulled away first saying, "I love you too" before leaning back in for another kiss.

Blaine watched out the window watching Kurt leave in his fathers car. His heart ached with every step he took nearer to that guy and a step he took away from him.

He waited for the car was out of sight before running down the stairs as fast as he could, opening the front door and running towards his car fumbling to find the right key. Once he had he opened his car and didn't even wait to put his seat belt on before driving off.

He drove as fast as he could without it being illegal and dragged the seatbelt over his body pushing it until he heard the click.

He slowed the car down as he approached the stop where they had planned to meet and stopped around the corner, he got out of the car and sneakily walked around to a bunch of bushes which he could see through, two people talking one of which was Kurt and the same guy with a ski mask.

Blaine just watched waiting just in case he needed to make a move.

Suddenly he felt hands on his shoulders pulling him out from the bushes. He couldn't see who had him tightly in their grasp but he started to drag him over toward where Kurt was talking to the mysterious masked man.

Blaine saw the man smile as he noticed him. Kurt turned to see what the guy was looking at and his yes widened. "Blaine? What are you doing here?" Kurt screamed with terror in his voice.

"I'm sorry Kurt I just couldn't let you be here alone" Blaine sobbed trying to get the guy dragging him to let go.

"Well, Well what do we have here?" the masked guy said walking closer to Blaine who was being held still. Blaine glared not wanting him anywhere near him or Kurt. "Why can't you just leave us alone?" Blaine said tears running down his face scared of what was going to happen net.

The guy laughed and walked so close to Blaine that their noses were touching. "You broke the rules Blaine and now you're going to have to pay" the guy raised his hand taking hold of Blaine's shirt. "Blaine!" Kurt yelled running forward only to get caught by yet another guy who took hold of his shirt.

Blaine took a breath and looked in to the man's eyes.

"Kurt, I love you!" Blaine yelled not daring to look at his face this was all his fault and there was nothing he could do to stop this.

Blaine closed his eyes and waited for it to begin.
