Chapter 22: The Silence is Slowly Killing Me
It’s been two weeks since Kurt and Blaine broke up, and it had been the most painful two weeks, they had ever experienced. There wasn’t a single night either of them didn’t cry themselves to sleep, it hurt that much. But they went through every day of school with a brave face, telling everyone “Oh yeah I’m fine!” But it was just a mask, they were both broken.
Jake kept a close eye on Blaine, every day. And rubbed his back every night as he cried. He was at a loss. Blaine hadn’t even been to warbler practice since it happened. While Blaine was in agony James was walking around Dalton with his head held high, even though everyone knew what had happened by now. Jake had basically moved back in with Blaine, he couldn’t stand to be in the same room as him without having the urge to beat the shit out of him.
Finn had kept a very, very close eye on his brother, especially after everything that had happened with Karofsky and then this whole thing with Blaine, he was just so worried about him, But he seemed to be alright. He would wake up in the middle of the night and hungry or thirsty and could hear Kurt crying in his room. He was so heartbroken and torn.
How has he been? ~Blaine
Do you want the truth or do you want me to lie to you? ~Finn
Lying is what ended up getting us in this mess…so truth would be nice. ~Blaine
Not great…I mean he puts on a brave face and everything in front of everyone, but I know it’s a mask. He cries himself to sleep every night, it breaks my heart knowing that there’s literally nothing I can do about it. ~Finn
I am so sorry about all of this…It’s my fault. I should have known that Kurt wouldn’t betray me like that. It’s just after Logan, I’ve had trust issues….~Blaine
Blaine, it’s not your fault! Don’t blame yourself for this. If it’s anybody’s fault it’s that James kid’s fault. How are you doing? ~Finn.
Honestly…probably worse than Kurt. I don’t leave my room except for classes. I don’t even go to Warbler Practice. Basically I stay in my room all day and cry. ~Blaine
Ohh Blaine. Kurt wouldn’t want you to torture yourself like that! You should be socializing and stuff. You’ve stopped singing??? ~Finn.
Yeah…I don’t see the point…~Blaine
Blaine, if Kurt knew about that he’d beat your ass! You’ve got to get back into the swing of things. Ik it’s hard but if you don’t do it for yourself, do it for Kurt. ~Finn
I know he would…it’s just hard you know? It will end up making me feel more miserable and think of him and how much I miss and love him. ~Blaine
Ik…But for what it’s worth…he misses you 2. ~Finn
I just want to see him scratch that, I need to see him soon. It’s been the longest I haven’t seen or talked to him. It hurts Finn. ;_; ~Blaine
Ik it hurts Blaine…just give him a little more time okay? ~Finn
Okay…I gtg I’ll ttyl ~Blaine
Kay, ttyl ~Finn.
Blaine threw his phone on his desk and just fell on his bed crying he missed Kurt so much it hurt. Jake walked in and sighed “Well, did you talk to Finn?”
He nodded “Yeah…basically I’m doing worse than Kurt is…he’s back in the swing of things while I’m in here like a hermit.”
“He’s probably just hiding behind a mask…Kurt doesn’t get over stuff that easily. Hell nobody gets over something like this that easily, without hiding their true feelings behind a mask.”
He sighed “That’s what Finn said. How long has it been?”
“Like, two weeks.”
“This is really getting ridiculous Jake.”
“What hiding behind masks?”
“That and just not even hearing from him. I don’t know how much longer I can take this Jake!”
Jake looked at him. “What do you want me to do?”
He sighed “What are you talking about?”
“You seem like you want something from me. What do you want from me?”
He sighed “I want you to be honest about what I’m going to tell you.”
Jake nodded “I’m always honest with you but okay.”
“It’s been two weeks. Kurt’s miserable, I’m miserable. My phone literally never leaves my side in case he calls to tell me he wants to talk. Two weeks I’ve been waiting. It’s just getting to be too much and I am honestly done waiting.”
“So…what are you asking me to be honest about here?”
He sat down next to Jake “I’m highly considering going to Lima right now and seeing Kurt.”
Jake winced “Yeah…that doesn’t sound like a very good idea…at all.”
“Why not?”
“Uh, he’s probably not ready yet. It just sounds like a really, really bad idea.”
“Jake, I don’t know anymore!”
“Look, I’m just saying that if you go now, it’s just going to be a recipe waiting for disaster! Especially if he told you he’d call you! I think you’d be pushing your luck.”
“Finn said he was depressed and cried himself to sleep every night calling my name!”
“I don’t know Blaine…”
He shook his head “You know what, I’m done talking about this, done crying for him when I can just go and see him!”
He grabbed his keys and looked at Jake “I’m done waiting!”
Jake sighed “I honestly think, this is going to blow up in your face but I really can’t stop you so…good luck.”
He bolted out of his room and went into his car shooting Finn a message
I’m on my way to Lima. I need to see him. ~Blaine
Do you want me to get the folks out of the house so you two can be alone? Cause Ik I can’t stop you so…~Finn
If you could…I’m not so much worried about Carole, but Burt…he scares me…He told me he had a shot gun with my name on it if I hurt Kurt so… ~Blaine
Yeah I can do that…It’ll be easy. I’ll just tell them to go out to eat and just let me know when you’re close and I’ll shoot over to Puck’s if you want. ~Finn
Thanks Finn I owe you! ~Blaine
As he was driving he got another text message…not from Finn this time, but from Kurt.
Can you come to my house? I want to talk to you…~Kurt
On my way~ Blaine
He got to Lima about an hour later, a lot faster than he usually does.
Okay I’m by the Lima Bean so…~ Blaine
Okay, my folks just left so, I’ll head over to Puck’s now…let me know how it goes Good Luck ;) ~Finn
Thanks I’ll need it. ~Blaine
He pulled up to Kurt’s house and got out of his car. He walked to the front door and took a deep breath before he rang the doorbell and knocked the door. He heard movement in the house and Kurt opened the door with the phone to his ear.
“Mercedes…I’ve gotta call you back He’s here.” Kurt hung up the phone and said “Blaine…”
He smiled “Hey.”
“Hey.hone to his ear.r.
d Kurt opened the door. , looking likedoorbell and knocked the door. whole ” He let Blaine in.
He smiled a bit “Thanks for coming.” He sat back down on the couch. “You can sit you know…I’m not going to make you stand.”
Blaine chuckled and sat down on the couch and said “I was actually on my way here to talk to you actually.”
He smiled “So…how have you been?”
Blaine sighed “Honestly? Pretty damn bad. I mean I cry myself to sleep every night. I haven’t even gone to Warbler’s practice since we broke up…It just reminds me of you and how much I love and miss you, it gets me even more depressed than I already am.”
He looked at his ex-boyfriend in shock, he’d stopped singing? “You quit the warblers?”
“No…I just can’t do it right now. Wes Thad and David understand though. Plus with James in there I can’t really deal with that right now.”
He sighed “I am so sorry I made you feel like that. But for what it’s worth, we’re on the same boat. I cry myself to sleep too…every single night. I have since the day we split.”
He took Blaine’s hand. “I miss you too.”
“Kurt, I love and miss you so much it hurts sometimes. I basically stay in my room all day, the only person I really talk to is Jake.”
Blaine sighed “Look Kurt, I feel like a part of me is missing without you! You’re my missing puzzle piece! I’m not complete without you!”
He sighed “Blaine…”
“Look, I know you told me you needed time. I understand that Kurt, I do. But I hoped to at least talk to you during these two weeks, but not as much as a message from you, until I was on my way over. I just need to know if you know what you want. If it’s me you want.”
Blaine sighed “I’m tired of waiting…I’m tired of having my phone by my side waiting for you to call. I’m tired of the hurt.”
He took Blaine’s hand “Blaine, I love you too. That’s why I wanted to talk to you…”
Blaine looked at him his stomach in knots, this could be a good or a bad thing.
