Kurt was in a very happy mood when he went to school, even when he was thrown in the dumpster he just got out and went on smiling! The girls tried to figure out why Kurt was so cheerful but, no matter how hard they tried, he wouldn't tell them anything.

After school, Kurt got home to a quiet, empty house but that was short lived. Kurt was sitting drinking coffee when his dad walked in the door. Kurt couldn't even say 'hey' before Burt started talking.

"I saw what Karofsky did to you this morning."

"I..um..I sorted out at school." Kurt was shocked at how his dad saw this but still was extremely happy and Burt saw this. He looked into his sons eyes and saw a glow in them that hadn't been there for a very long time.

"You did, did you?" Kurt couldn't understand why his dad was smirking as he said this but decided against questioning it.

"Yeah" Kurt got up to leave when his dad started to talk again.

"You 'sorting it out' wouldn't have anything to do with that guy that helped you up, would it?" Burt walked out past Kurt to the living room with a huge grin on his face, leaving Kurt blushing from head to toe. Kurt ran up to his room before Burt came back.

Kurt was still wondering how his dad had seen Karofsky push him, and more importantly how he'd seen Blaine help him up, when his phone started vibrating. He smiled when he saw it was from Blaine.

"Hey, It's Blaine" Kurt tried to sound as if he wasn't very excited to talk to Blaine.

"Hey!" well that didn't work.

"um...so..I've been thinking about it all day...so could I possibly hear that 'long story'?"

"oh...um..sure..it's just I get bullied every day" Kurt tried to keep it at that but somehow ended up telling Blaine everything, from why to how to Karofsky just singling him out all the time and then to how the worst part is that nobody even cares! By the end, Blaine was left speechless.

"Blaine? Blaine did I send you to sleep?"

"No you didn't. It's just...God Kurt...no one should have to go through that! I thought I knew what bullying was! I was sent to boarding school before it could get worse than a beat up! I'm so sorry!

"You were bullied?"

"Yeah but it doesn't matter because it stopped. Hey! I know! Why don't you just come to Dalton?" But Kurt had already thought of this and looked it up.

"I thought of that but it's just way too expensive..."

"Oh shit! I'm so sorry Kurt! I forgot that it was so expensive!" Blaine started to ramble. "My parents were just so keen on getting rid of me that I forgot the tuition was so steep! I-"

"Whoa! 1. it's OK! and 2. your parents wanted 'rid' of you?"

"oh...um...yeah it's a long story?"

"Seriously? I had to tell you my long story so now you have to tell me yours!"

"Touché...ok...I knew I was gay since I was around 9 but I came out to my brother, Cooper. I didn't tell anyone else because I was scared. My dad is a huge homophobe so I kept quiet till Cooper convinced me to tell my parents. Well...it wasn't pretty...my dad disowned me but before that he..um..beat the living shit out of me...Cooper stopped him but it was too late I was already unconscience...I woke up a couple of days later...my parents told the doctors that I fell down the stairs and hit my head on the banisters...my dad wouldn't look at me and sent me to Dalton so that he wouldn't have to look at me ever again..."

When Blaine finished Kurt felt a tear fall on his lap.

"Blaine...thats...awful! I only take the bullying because of my family being supportive! God Blaine I'm so sorry!"

"Kurt, it's ok. You don't need to be sorry, I'm better off here. I have great friends who accept me"

"But someone like you should have to go through all that!"

"Someone like me?"

"yeah, nice, kind and sweet and cute" NO! Did he just say that? Kurt was only meant to add that in his head!

"I'm sorry? Did you just called me cute?" Blaine chuckled.

"Um...I...um...I'm sorry...I didn't mean..I-"

"Stop. I thought it was adorable. I think you're adorable, look I gotta go my roommates back I'll text you in the morning"

"Um...ok bye"

"Bye"
