Chapter 18: Listen To Me!
“What’s what? What are you talking about?” He looked at him. “Hey why are you crying?”
Blaine was still staring at him, tears rolling down his cheeks. “Take a look for yourself.” Blaine handed him his phone.
He took the phone reluctantly; afraid of what he was going to see. His heart dropped as he looked at the picture. It was a picture of James kissing him, and it looked like he was kissing him back. He looked up at Blaine. “Blaine, sweetie, Let me ex-“
Blaine cut him off. “Kurt, why did you lie to me when you said you loved me?”
“Blaine! I didn’t lie to you! I do love you, more than anything!”
Blaine sighed “Kurt, how could you do this to me…to us?!”
He choked back a sob. “Blaine! If you’d just let me explain…”
Blaine shook his head. “Explain what exactly Kurt? How it felt to kiss him?”
He shook his head, Blaine seriously wasn’t listening. “Blaine Joseph Anderson! Listen to me right now and let me explain what happened!”
Blaine sighed wiping his eyes as he began to talk. “Blaine, first thing, I love you more than anything in the world! An-“
Blaine shook his head. “No you don’t Kurt. If you did, you wouldn’t have hurt me like this! Especially since you know how sensitive I’d be about something like this after everything with Logan.”
He looked at Blaine in shock, Blaine was crying freely now, harder than he had ever seen him cry.
“Kurt, you promised me three months ago that you would never hurt me the way Logan did, but you’re just like him.” B
laine paused and looked at Kurt directly in the eyes, not doing that since he got the pictures. “Kurt, I love you so much. I thought what we had was special. But I guess I was wrong…”
He let his tears flow freely as he registered what Blaine had said, had, was…that’s past tense. “Wait a minute. Had? It still is Blaine.”
He had to pause not thinking he’d ever have to ask this question. “Are you breaking up with me?”
Blaine closed his eyes and as much as it killed him he nodded and said “Yes Kurt. I’ve been through this once, I thought I’d never have to do it again. I guess I was wrong huh? I need you to leave.”
He didn’t know what to do, he looked at Blaine, who he loved with all his heart and bolted out of the door sobbing. He ran past Flint and Thad, who bolted after him calling his name. He fell over something and just sat there in the hall, when they finally caught up to him Flint asked “Kurt, Are you alright?”
He shook his head “N-no, Blaine just b-broke up with me.”
Their eyes widened in shock. “What?! Why?!”
He sighed “Blaine got a picture text of James and I kissing, the picture looked like I was kissing back. But James kissed me and I pushed him away after my brain had finally registered what had just happened. I tried to explain that and he wouldn’t let me and he broke up with me.”
Flint sighed “Oh Kurt I’m so sorry! Who sent it?”
He shrugged “I don’t know! I thought that James and I were the only ones in the room, but I guess not.”
Thad took out his cell “I’m calling Wes and having him and David go to Blaine’s room. Kurt who should I call for you Finn?”
He nodded “Y-yeah, Guys, what am I going to d-do? I love him so much.”
Flint sighed “It’s going to be alright Kurt, he’ll come around.”
He shook his head “No he won’t. He told me that I was just like Logan.”
They looked at each other not knowing what to say to comfort Kurt, they knew this was bad. After Thad called Wes, he took Kurt’s cell and called Finn.
“Hey Kurt, what’s up bro?”
“Finn, this is Thad, one of Kurt and Blaine’s friends from Dalton.”
“Uh, hi? Why do you have my brother’s phone? Is he alright?”
Thad sighed “Physically, yes. Emotionally, not so much. Can you come and pick him up? He needs you.”
“Yeah, I’m on my way, I’ll be there in five wait for me with him?”
“Yeah of course.”
“Thank you, I’ll see you in a bit.”
“Not a problem.” He gave Kurt back his phone. “Okay Kurt, Finn’s on his way, let’s go wait for him in the driveway.”
He nodded and got up and walked to the driveway, of course to get there they had to pass Blaine’s room, as they passed Kurt could hear him crying. He put his hand over his mouth and ran down the hall. Flint and Thad quick on his tail. They finally reached the front. He couldn’t stop crying he’s never had his heart broken like this before.
Thad and Flint were just shocked, Kurt and Blaine or “Klaine” as Jeff called them, were the ‘it’ couple. They all thought they’d be together forever, everyone could see how deep in love they were. Kurt sighed in relief when he saw Finn’s truck pull up. He stood and gave Flint and Thad a hug.
Thad smiled sadly “It’ll be okay Kurt, hang in there.”
He nodded and got into the truck between Mercedes and Rachel. As they drove off, Finn being worried about why he had to pick him up asked “Okay, so why did I have to come and pick you up early?”
He shook his head. Mercedes sighed “What happened Boo?”
“Yeah did he not like his present Kurt?” asked Rachel.
He shook his head chuckling “No, he loved it.”
He looked down to look at his wrist at his charm bracelet and saw the charm that read I will Always Love You and broke down.
Mercedes rubbed his arm “What’s wrong baby? What happened?”
He sighed knowing that they’d find out sooner or later. “Blaine broke up with me.”
Rachel took his hand “Wait what?!”
“Bro, are you serious?”
He just nodded.
“Oh heeeell to the no! Finn you best turn this truck around I have some hobbit ass to whoop!”
“Santana and Puck would kill us if they didn’t get in on this.” Said Finn as he took out his phone.
He groaned “Oh my god.”
“Damn it! Puck and Santana aren’t answering.”
He’d had enough. “ENOUGH! STOP IT!” he screamed.
They all looked at him, Kurt almost never yells, only time he does is if you ruin his clothes or really, really piss him off, which is hard to do.
“Whoa, scary Kurt…Ok..”
“What the hell white boy?”
“Look, I know that you’re all upset about what happened. Do you think that I’m not? Now I know you’re all just acting like this because you love me…while I appreciate that and love you all back, I also love Blaine with all my heart. I probably always will. If you guys love me like you say you do then you’ll stop trying to get ahold of Puck and Santana and trying to go beat him up.”
Finn groaned “Kurt, you’re my brother and he broke you heart! He knew what would happen if he did that. Therefore, he needs to be taught a lesson ”
“Finnegan Christopher Hudson! You turn this truck back around right now or so help me I will use that blackmail I have against you!”
Finn reluctantly turned the truck back around. “So…what are you going to tell Mom and Dad?”
He sighed "One crisis at a time Finn…”
Mercedes took his hand. “I am so sorry Kurt. Do you want me or Rachel to stay with you?”
He shook his head. “No, I-I just want to be alone.” Which wasn’t a total lie, he didn’t need them he needed Blaine. He was the only person who could make him feel better. He just kept looking at the bracelet Blaine gave him and silently cried.
Rachel took his hand in hers. “Kurt, I know this is hard but maybe you should take that off.”
Mercedes nodded her head in agreement. “Yeah seriously, why didn’t you chuck the thing at him?”
“I didn’t think of that, I really didn’t have time to I just sort of bolted.” He sighed and let out a sob. “I love him so much!”
They rubbed his back. “I know Boo, I know. Give him a few days.”
He sniffled “God, I hope he’s okay, this really, really hurt him.”
Rachel looked at him “Is anyone with him?”
“Yeah, Wes and David should be there with him now.”
His heart broke knowing how much pain Blaine was in right now. He should be furious but he’s not. He’s confused, depressed, hurt and worried. He rested his head on Mercedes shoulder and closed his eyes, hoping that this was all just a horrible dream.
Blaine watched Kurt leave and it broke his heart. As soon as the door slammed he collapsed on his bed, his body shaking with body wrenching sobs. He had just been cheated on again!
He didn’t think it was possible but the pain he felt was a million times worse than with Logan. He looked over to his right where the picture Kurt had just given him rested, it was taken minutes after he’d told Kurt he loved him. He put it face down and looked around, everything reminded him of Kurt. He fell on his bed again, he heard a knock at the door, he figured it was Kurt. “Kurt, go away!”
“Blaine, it’s Wes and David, let us in.”
He sighed “It’s open.”
They came inside and shut the door. He sat up with tears still rolling down his cheeks. ”Hey…”
They sat on the bed in front of him…Kurt’s old bed. Wes was the first to speak. “What happened Blaine?”
David nodded and added “We heard about the break up.”
He sighed “God word travels fast around here. Who told you?”
“Thad.” Wes looked at him. “Thad and Flint found him on the floor sobbing. He’s heartbroken Blaine. What happened?”
He sighed “Well, Jake randomly started texting me basically confusing me he wasn’t making any sense whatsoever. Then he sent me this.”
He pulled up the picture on his phone and handed it to them. Their eyes widened “Oh my god, is that James?”
He nodded “Then we got into this fight and I told him he was just like Logan and I ended it.”
Wes sighed “Blaine, did you even let him try to explain?”
He shook his head “What is there to explain Wes? You can see it for yourself, he’s kissing him back.”
Wes took the phone from Blaine to look at the pictures better, as David rubbed his back as Blaine cried holding onto the picture of the two of them at prom.
Wes sighed “Blaine, he doesn’t seem to be kissing him back, he just looks shocked to me.”
He shook his head and got off the bed and started moving about his room. “Blaine, what are you doing?”
“Putting everything that reminds me of him in a box, it’s too painful to look at.”
David sighed and pulled him back to his bed. “Blaine, sit down.”
He grabbed his computer and put it on. Wes and David knew what he was doing and they knew that they couldn’t handle this one on their own.
James stared at the door after Kurt left, his emotions were conflicted, happy he kissed Kurt, finally , and sad because it hurt him.
Jake walked out of the bathroom, after he had enough time to calm down enough so he wouldn’t strangle his roommate. He saw the whole thing after all. “James!”
James turned around and saw Jake, and was suddenly afraid.
“What the hell were you thinking kissing Kurt?”
James mumbled something he couldn’t quite understand. “What was that?”
James sighed “L-love.”
He sighed “Oh my god James!”
James shrugged “Honestly, I don’t regret it.”
His eyes widened, was James joking? He hurt Kurt and Blaine and doesn’t regret it at all? He knew Blaine would end up here to talk to James. His computer dinged, alerting him that hes gotten an update. He looked at his laptop and groaned at what he saw.
Blaine Anderson: is single.
Kurt Hummel: is single.
He turned to James “Are you happy now? Look at what you did James!”
James walked over to the screen as it dinged twice.
Kurt Hummel: I have never felt so heartbroken in my entire life
Blaine Anderson: It was all just a big fat lie
James looked at him. “You’re as much to blame for this as I am!”
“Excuse me?! How is this my fault?!”
James sighed “You’re the one that took the freaking picture! You sent it to Blaine…this could’ve all been avoided.”
He chuckled this guy was unbelievable! “I did, so Blaine would know! I didn’t kiss Kurt, you did! Damn well knowing that Kurt was head over heels in love with Blaine. You caused this James Daniel Holbrook Jr, you and you alone!”
James just shook his head and went to his computer. Jake couldn’t believe this. “You’ve really got no clue what you just did to Kurt do you?”
James looked up at him. “What do you mean?”
“Besides the obvious ruining his relationship, possibly for good. You obviously don’t remember who David Karofsky is do you?”
“He’s the bully from McKinley what does he have to do with this?”
He sighed “You’re just like him!”
“How so?”
He groaned. “Clearly Kurt never told you he story, so I will. Karofsky didn’t just bully Kurt, he kissed him. The same wayyou did. Now, thanks to you, He’s going to have flashbacks and nightmares. But what do you care? You don’t regret it at all. You broke up our friends James. And Hurt my best friend”
James sighed, now he did feel a little guilty. “Jake what are you doing?”
He sighed packing a bag. “Blaine is going to need someone to talk to!”
James scoffed. “You really think he’s going to want to see you? You’re the one that sent him the picture.”
He sighed, he knew James was right but he couldn’t deal with him right now. He finished putting his things in his bag. “Maybe not, but he’s my best friend and I quite frankly am having issues being in the same room as you right now without feeling the urge to punch you in the face.”
Jake walked out the door and made his way to Blaine’s room and could clearly hear the chorus of Somewhere Only We Know, the door was half open and there was Blaine, laying on his bed his shoulder’s shaking. “Blaine?”
He looked up and saw Jake. “Oh…hey you can come in…”
Jake sighed shutting the door behind him. “You okay?”
He chuckled “Oh yeah I’m fantastic! I got a picture text of my boyfriend kissing one of our friends and made me break up with him.”
He stared at him. “How do you think I’m doing?”
Jake sighed “I know…I’m sorry.”
He sniffled “What are you doing here anyway?”
Jake chuckled “Uh, you’re my best friend, who just had his heart broken.”
He sat down beside him. “I really couldn’t be in the same room as that asshole without wanting to punch him in the face. But mostly, I wanted to see if you were okay and I know you need someone right now. So…here I am.”
He looked at Jake and just lost it. “C’mere.”
He fell into his best friends shoulder and cried. “I know Blaine.”
“W-why Jake?”
“I don’t know Blaine, I really don’t I wish I did though!”
Jake sat there and let him cry rubbing his back, he couldn’t comfort Blaine like Kurt could. He knew this was going to be a really long night.
Finn dropped Rachel and Mercedes off and went back to the house. Kurt had stopped crying but he was still sniffling. He tried to get through to his room without his dad noticing…he did.
“Hey kiddo. What’s wrong?”
He sniffled “Oh nothing, Blaine and I just had a fight that’s all.”
Finn was going to say something but he figured it was best to keep quiet.
“Ah, I see. He’ll come around. Just give him some time okay?”
He nodded “I’m going to bed. Night dad. I love you!”
“I love you too.”
He went upstairs to his room. He felt bad about lying to his dad but this was something Kurt knew his father’s heart couldn’t handle right now. He got to his room and fell on his bed and cried himself to sleep. Both Blaine and Kurt cried themselves to sleep that night, knowing they’d have to deal with the pain of the break up tomorrow.
