Chapter 21


They say everything happens for a reason, yeah? Then why the hell would this happen? Why did he feel the need to cut his skin every five seconds? If you couldn't tell, the urge didn't go away. It only became stronger. 

Kurt sat on the patio hoping the urge could be distracted. He looked up at the stars as he pulled his knees up to his chest. For whatever reason, the stars seemed so much brighter here. Maybe because of the light pollution, or maybe he just didn't notice before? They were breath taking though. It was like looking at a million diamonds-

"Who let this wuss on the porch?"

Kurt quickly snapped from his gaze a bit startled. He tried to see through the darkness but that neon red hair would stick out anywhere. "What are you doing here?" he asked not to nicely. 

She snorted taking out a cigarette. "I need a smoke."

Kurt put on a face of disgust as she lit the little white stick. The smell made him want to puke. "Well can you take you and your "smoke" somewhere else? I actually like my lungs."

"Aw princess can't take a cigarette? Poor thing." She snarled as she blew the thick, black smoke right in his face. 

That was the last straw for Kurt. He ripped the cigarette out of her hand and threw it on the ground. "You know what Candy? What made you so god damn mean? Huh? What the hell made you so mean? because you are a warped human being. You don't know me and you don't know what the hell I've been threw."

She chuckled pulling out another another cigarette. "Wow, very good princess. I applaud you. How long did it take you to put all that together?"

"You know what you are Candy?"

She raised her eyebrows at him as she held the lighter to the cigarette in between her lips. 

"A bully."

She smirked at him. "A bully? Hum Wow, what are we six?"

"You put on this act because you want everyone to think your tuff when really your just scared. You use me as your punching bag so you don't have to deal with what's turmoiling inside you."

She let out a laugh. "We'll thank you doctor Phill but I gotta run...Nice taking to you." 

Kurt heart was racing as his chest heaved. The last time he felt like that was when Dave kissed him. 

~o0o~

Ever since the lunch incident with Candy he decided to eat with Devon. It wasn't to exciting but it was still a lot better then battling it out with Candy. 

He took another bit of his sub as Devon typed away on her computer. Man he wished he was back in high school. Sure, he was a loser but, not this much of a loser. He missed his friends and family like crazy. 

"What do you always look at on there?" Kurt asked curious as Devon typed away. 

"Oh nothing. tomorrow's me and my husbands fiftieth anniversary and I was just looking at dresses. I was thinking about this one. What do you think?" She turned her screen showing him a pee green dress that looked like it was styled by the Amish.

Kurt looked like she had ten heads. "what about this one?" Kurt asked pointing to a slim fitting black v neck. She had a killer body. She had one of those body's that you could wear practically anything you wanted. 

"What?!" She giggled. "I could never pull that off." 

"Well why not?" Kurt smiled. 

"Because it's made for a toothpick. I'm not like you anymore. I have two kids."

"What?! Your body is amazing, and that's coming from someone who worked with models at Vouge."

"You worked at Vouge?"

"Yep! Isabelle Wrights assistant." Kurt said with a smile but it quickly fated. He missed his job like crazy. He really missed Isabelle and Rachel too. 

"Shut up! That's so cool."

Kurt laughed. "Thanks."

"Ok fine Mr Vouge! I'll get it." 

"Yay!" Kurt said clapping his hands. "I can help you with your hair and make up to if you want? I'm really good if I do say so myself."

"Sounds fun." She grinned. "Thanks by the way."

"For what?"

"Talking to me. It gets lonely out here. I just enjoy the company you know?"

"I do." Kurt said fully understanding. It's not like people were knocking down his door for a conversation. "Everyone hates me besides you."

"Kurt, they just don't know you yet-"

"It's been two months." He interrupted looking at his hands. "They do know me they just don't like me and Candy is making my life a living hell."

"She's a handful isn't she? Ignore it if you can."

"That's the thing!" Kurt said in defeat. "I do but she always makes these remarks and it bothers me so much."

"Well I'll talk to her about it. But you know you can always talk to me when your feeling lonely."

"I know." Kurt said hugged her. "Thanks."

"Anytime."
