Blaine woke up at 4:45 that morning. "No use going back to sleep for a half an hour." He thought to himself looking at the alarm clock. He closed his eyes again just to see if he could fall asleep, he ended up thinking about what he thought had just been a horrible dream. He rolled over and opened his eyes, and saw Kurt beside him, sleeping like an angel.

He caught his breath. "I guess it wasn't a dream after all."��

He knew he wouldn't be able to fall back to sleep. He kissed Kurt softly on the forehead, before he carefully got up off the bed without waking Kurt up to go shower. After he showered he had to shave, he looked in the mirror, and it was then, when he knew that the pain he was feeling wasn't a dream. The scrapes and bruises on his shoulders back and stomach proved that. He put his hands on the sink and sighed. He knew that he'd have to tell Kurt eventually, he'd notice. He had to tell him himself, but he couldn't, at least not yet.

He heard Kurt awake in the bedroom. "Blaine…"

He heard Kurt gasp. "Blaine?! Where are you? Blaine!"

He was freaking out "Damn it!" he said to himself as he quickly threw on his Dalton hoodie and opened the door that lead to the bedroom.

"Kurt, I'm right here babe. I woke up and went to take a shower."

Kurt ran to him and hugged him. Blaine chuckled. "What? Did you miss me that much? I just took a shower."

Kurt sighed. "Well, I- I thought you left or something. Or your Dad-"

Blaine took him in his arms. "It's okay Kurt. I'm ok! And I'm sorry; I didn't want to wake you. I should've written you a note and put it on the pillow. I figured you'd hear the shower running or I'd be out by the time you woke up."

He kissed Kurt's forehead. "Now you go shower while I get my bag all packed. If you hurry we can get coffee on the way, my treat, making up for scaring you half to death."

Kurt shook his head. Blaine laughed. "Kurt you need to shower. I'll be here when you get out."

Blaine went to go get his uniform that was hung with Kurt's. He rolled his eyes. "I'm not in the mood for coffee today Blaine." Blaine turned around and looked at him wide-eyed. "What? You don't want coffee? You can barely make it through AP Chemistry first period without it, and you're really pissy the rest of the day. What's the matter Kurt?"

Kurt sat down on his bed and motioned for Blaine to join him on the bed. Blaine sat beside him and looked at him. He had tears in his eyes rolling down his cheeks. "Kurt, what's the matter?" he asked as he wiped a tear off Kurt's cheek. "Talk to me babe."

Kurt wiped his eyes and sighed. "It's just—wha-what happened last night."��His voice quivered. Blaine looked at him. "Kurt, I'm sorry, I- I know my dad hurt you- us. Bu-"

Kurt shook his head. "No Blaine, do you remember waking up last night?" Blaine looked at him confused. "No, why?"

Kurt's heart broke, "W-well, you kind of hit mean in the face when you were having a nightmare.-"

Blaine looked at Kurt's face, he could see a slight red mark on his cheek. "Did-did I hurt you? Oh my god! I left a mark! I'm so sorry!"

Kurt shook his head. "It did at first but I'm fine! I'll cover it up with foundation." Blaine kissed his cheek.

Kurt sighed. "Blaine, while you were having a night mare, you- you kept crying telling some John guy to get away from you and told your brother not to hurt you. The worst was when you were screaming louder than you already were…You were screaming telling me you were sorry and for me not to leave you. Blaine you screaming my name three times. You screamed it the loudest when I woke up."

Blaine just stared at Kurt "Blaine, a-after I w-woke you up, you- you held my face and looked at me as if you didn't belie I w-was there. D-do you remember this? Any of it, all?"

Blaine thought about it for a moment, he realized that everything Kurt said he thought was a dream. Tears came to Blaine's eyes and he looked at Kurt, his voice quivered as he asked "H-how did you get me back t-to sleep? D-did you sing to me?"

Kurt smiled "Yeah! Well, I hummed sort of. Do you, do you remember what song?"

Blaine knew of course he knew and smiled a bit "Candles."

Kurt nodded "Yes Blaine!"

Blaine let the tears he was holding back fall freely. It all started coming back to him, the dream, Kurt waking him up and the beat down. "Oh g-god Kurt…"He wrapped his arms around Kurt.

Kurt held him close and rubbed his back. He felt Kurt rub against one of the bruises on his back and yelped. "Blaine, what's wrong? You seem to wince or yelp when I hug you-"

Kurt started piecing it together, Blaine's quietness and crying in the car, his brother Michael, the dream. He let go of Blaine thinking Oh my god…no.

He sighed "Blaine look at me." Blaine looked up sadly. "Blaine, I'm gonna ask you something, and I want you to answer me truthfully. Understand?"

He nodded "Sure?"

He sighed "Did something happen in the house when you went to get your bag?" Blaine looked down biting his lip.

Kurt lifted his chin "Blaine Joseph Anderson answer me! Did something happen in the house when you went to get your bag?" he asked more forcefully.

Reluctantly he nodded. "Y-yes."

Kurt sighed "Blaine did-did your father hurt you?"

Blaine shook his head. "N-no.��Kurt you already k-know w-what happened."

Kurt's jaw dropped. "You're brother and J-John?"

He shook his head. "J-John wasn't there…surprisingly. But my Dad, he uh told Michael about me dating you and he apparently came to 'talk' some sense into you."

Kurt looked at him. "M-me W-why me?"

Blaine took his hand "Ku-Kurt, I m-met Logan through Michael. Logan is his best friend."

Kurt sighed "Blaine, I'm a little confused um... Why the fuck are they still friends if the asshole cheated on you?!"

He sighed. "It's a long story."

Kurt Grinned "Well, we've got time, if you want to talk about it."

Blaine looked at the clock. "Shit! Kurt! It's 6:15! We're so going to be late!"

Kurt shook his head "Blaine, I know you're going to be able to concentrate in school today and neither will I?"

He did have a point. "W-what about your dad?"

Kurt smiled. "You leave him to me. I'm surprised at you Blaine."

He looked at him curiously. "Oh, and why is that?" Kurt chuckled taking his hand bringing him to the stairs

"I was expecting you to put up more of a fight, considering we'll be lying to my dad."

Blaine let go of his hand. "Whoa wait a second! I'm not��going to lie to your dad. If he finds out he's gonna be pissed and quite frankly, I'm a bit scared of him, I've seen him when he's mad, It's scary shit!"

Kurt couldn't help but laugh and Blaine just stared at him. Kurt couldn't help but laugh and Blaine just started at him. Kurt stopped laughing. "Oh, you- you were serious?"

He nodded. "And you say I'm adorable! Hah! Blaine, you don't need to worry about my dad. Unless you hurt me of course half of the glee club will be after you, but I know you won't. But still, my dad may seem intimidating on the outside. But on the inside, he's just a big ol' teddy bear! Besides we'll just say you're not feeling up to going to school and you'll have your mom call you in sick, as will my dad with me. See piece of cake!"

Blaine sighed "Where's the lying part?"

Kurt smiled. "Glad you asked. All you've gotta do is say you're mom called you in-" Blaine interrupted him . "Or I could call her or text her Kurt."

Kurt smiled. "Yeah, that's probably a better idea…"

Blaine took out his cell and texted her since she rarely talks on the phone.

Mom, I'm fine but I really don't feel up to going to school today, I had a rough night. Could you possibly call me in sick, please? I love you! ~Blaine

A few minutes later he got a reply. "Well, I guess so. Are you staying with Kurt? I really don't want you to be alone right now sweetheart. ~Mom"

He showed Kurt the text. "Well, let's go find out."

They walked upstairs to the kitchen where Burt was pouring his de-caff coffee. "Dad?"

Burt looked up. "What are you guys still doing here? You're going to be late for school!"

Kurt took Blaine's hand. "That's what we wanted to talk you about. Dad, Blaine's not feeling up to going to school today and neither am I, we had a rough night and neither of us will be able to concentrate today. Could you call me in sick today, please?"

Burt sighed. "What about Blaine?"

Blaine took that as his cue. "Um, my mom said she'd call me in only if I wasn't alone. She doesn't want me to be by myself."

Burt nodded. "Alright, I'll call you in Kurt. Blaine, you uh, be sure to tell your mom, that you're more than welcome to stay with us as long as you need."

Blaine smiled. "Thank you Mr. Hummel, I appreciate it." Burt nodded and grabbed the phone to call Kurt in sick.

The boys went downstairs, and Blaine grabbed his cell.

Yes mom I'll be with Kurt. His dad told me to tell you that he said I'm welcome to stay with them as long as I need. ~Blaine

Kurt tapped him on the shoulder "Hey, are you going to need more clothes? Cause we can run to target or something and get you some."

Blaine sighed "Nah It's okay I can meet up with my mom somewhere, it's fine."

Kurt looked at him. "You sure?" He nodded, he got another text from his mom.

Okay sweetheart. I'm guessing you'll need more clothes. I'll pack you another bag and we can meet up at The Lima Bean at say 3:00? I need to go in that direction anyway ~Mom

He showed Kurt the text and nodded "That's fine Blaine." He hit the reply button.

Okay Mom, I'll see you then. I love you ~Blaine

He got a reply within a minute.

I love you too Blaine. See you then xoxo~Mom Blaine smiled at her text.

They heard a knock at the door. "It's open come on in!" called Kurt.

Burt came in the door. "Okay guys, Carole and I are leaving. Call us if you need anything or if you leave."

Blaine nodded "Ok, we'll be going to the Lima Bean around three to get some clothes from my mom. But other than that, we'll be here."

He nodded "Okay guys, well have a good day and uh be safe."

Kurt looked at him blushing. "Oh my god dad! We've only been dating for a week!"

He sighed "I know I'm just saying," He looked at Blaine and finished "things can happen, I just want you to be safe."

Blaine looked at Burt nervously and said "Don't worry Mr. Hummel we won't do anything you have my word."

Burt nodded he was convinced

"Bye Dad I love you have a good day, and please go, you're scaring my boyfriend"

Burt sighed "I love you too and I will. I'm going I'm going!" Burt left the two alone.

Kurt sighed "Erm… I'm sorry about that…" Blaine smiled "It's okay."

Blaine's cell went off again, yet another text from his mom.

I'm in Lima now, should I just swing by Kurt's? ~Mom

Kurt sighed "I suppose…as long as your Dad or Michael aren't with her. I might end up killing them."

Blaine laughed "My mom won't be with either of them. She's pissed at them both and probably not talking to them, well probably Dad you know screaming at him for what happened. So is it ok?"

He nodded. Blaine texted his mom giving her the address she told him that she'd beep when she was here.

Kurt smiled at Blaine. "You've got an awesome mom you know, "

Blaine smiled "Yeah she's pretty great. What was your Mom like?"

Kurt looked at him. "My mom?"

He nodded "You never really talk about her. If…if you don't want to it's okay I was just curious."

Kurt sighed. "Well, your mom reminds me of her…a lot. She, she was polite, moral and a friend to everyone. She was sarcastic like me and the best mom ever."

He laughed "She gave the best hugs. Her hugs could make anything better."

He walked over to his desk and brought a picture to the bed.

"Is this her?"

Kurt nodded "You look just like her…you have her eyes, nose and rosy cheeks. What was her name?"

Kurt smiled. "Elizabeth." Blaine smiled. "Pretty, I've always loved that name." Kurt smiled "I do too."

He sighed "God, she would've loved you Blaine!"

Blaine smiled. "Really?"

Kurt nodded. "Yeah, you're just like her and you're…you're good to me and that is what she would want."

He kissed Kurt softly and they heard a beep. "Mom's here, let's go."

They went to Blaine's mom's green prius she rolled down the window. "Hi Blaine, Kurt"
They smiled and said "Hi"

She smiled at Kurt "Kurt, thank you for letting Blaine stay with you, I just didn't think it'd be a good idea for him to be home right now."

Kurt smiled "No problem and I agree with you on that one."

She smiled "Ok, well, Blaine here's your bag. How are you?"

He shrugged "I'm okay I guess…I've been better. How was he last night?"

She sighed "You don't want to know."

Blaine shook his head "Why am I not surprised."

Mrs. Anderson smiled. "Well I've got to go. I have a meeting in a bit."

Blaine smiled. "Okay Mom. I love you!"

She gave Blaine a hug and a kiss. "I love you too baby call me tonight okay?"

He nodded. "Thank you again Kurt."

He smiled "No problem See you soon." She waved and drove off.

The boys went back down to the basement. I've got some space in that dresser over there that you can put your stuff in. Blaine smiled "Thanks."

Kurt smiled "Don't mention it." Kurt went to go do his moisturizing and Blaine unpacked.

After Kurt finished he turned and saw Blaine staring at t-shirt. It was just a regular navy blue polo. "Blaine, what's wrong?"

He sighed. "This, this isn't mine…it's Michaels."

Kurt stared at him not getting what the big deal was, when it was just a t-shirt. "Okay, so don't wear it then. You can wear one of mine it's not a big deal." Blaine just kept staring at the shirt.

He noticed that there might be a story or something behind the shirt "Blaine, do you want to talk about it?" asked Kurt as he put a hand on his shoulder.

Blaine just kept staring at the shirt. "Blaine, does that have something to do with what happened with Logan and Michael?"

Blaine nodded "I- I guess now is the time to tell you about Logan and what happened. "

Kurt sighed. "You don't have to if you don't want to Blaine."

Blaine smiled and took his hand. "No, you should know. It's part of my past, that still haunts me and you're part of my present and future."

Kurt took the shirt and moved it to the desk. "Ok, so…what happened? I know that for some stupid reason they're still friends."

Blaine sighed. "This is really hard to explain. I mean, it's a touchy subject."

Kurt knew this and he took his hand and said "If you're not ready to talk about it yet, that's okay too. I'll be here when you're ready."

Blaine sighed as he laid down on Kurt's bed. "I just…I don't know where to start…"

Kurt smiled and moved a curl out f his face. "You can just give me the jest of what happened. I don't need all the details. "

Blaine smiled and pulled Kurt into a kiss, he loved Kurt's soft lips.

They parted and Blaine smiled "I'm crazy about you."

He kissed him softly. "The feeling's mutual."

Blaine knew he had to tell Kurt the story. But that meant he had to recall what he desperately wanted to forget. He'd have to feel the hurt, the betrayal and the heartbreak all over again. He sighed and remembered what he had told Kurt when he was in McKinley "Courage" He looked at Kurt. "Ok, well it all happened last year it was winter break and I had gone out quickly to grab a coffee for Logan and I, he was coming over and everything changed when I came home, like as soon as I walked into the living room."

He pulled up to his house jamming to Faithfully, and saw Logan's blue SUV parked next to Michael's red prius. He smiled and said "Oh he's early." They had been dating for four months; it was their anniversary that day. It'd been the best four months of Blaine's life. He opened the front door and took off his jacket hanging it up next to Logan's brown cashmere coat. He walking to the living room singing Faithfully and noticed a navy blue polo that he recognized to be Michaels and sighed thinking "Ugh, Michael's got Andrea over again." He got to the living room and the light was on low so he really couldn't see much. But he did see two figures on the couch; he figured it was Michael and Andrea. He turned the light "Seriously Michael, go do this in your room-"

He gasped when he saw that it wasn't Andrea and Michael at all, it was Logan and Michael, both shirtless making out. "What the hell is going on here?!"

They looked up. "Blaine, you're early."

Blaine put down the coffee's on the table and walked over to them "I live here! Why the hell are you on my brother?!"

Logan quickly got off of Michael's lap and walked over to Blaine. "Blaine, babe. This isn't what it looks like!"

Blaine had tears rolling off his cheeks. "Isn't what it looks like!? I walk in with coffee and you're fucking straddling my fucking brother's lap and you're telling me it's not what it looks like?!"

Logan looked down at his feet. "Okay maybe it is what it looks like but it meant nothing to me!"

Blaine scoffed he knew what he saw. "That didn't look like it was nothing to me Logan!"

Michael just sat there smiling and said "Yeah okay, that's not what you said earlier!"

Blaine looked at Michael and then at Logan in shock. "Earlier?! Have you done this before?!"

Michael nodded. Blaine couldn't believe it and all he could do was cry. "Why would you do this to me?!"

Logan went to put a hand on his shoulder but he swatted it away. "Don't fucking touch me Logan!"

He looked at Michael with a disgusted look on his face. "Michael, why? You're my fucking brother! Why would you want to hurt me like this?!"

Michael smiled replied "Blaine, you don't deserve Logan. He needs a man to satisfy his needs not a pansy like you!"

Blaine gasped. "You're straight you asshole! You have a girlfriend remember Andrea?"

He shook his head "I'm bi-curious Blaine. Think about it…If you had satisfied Logan's needs, you wouldn't be hurting now would you?"

Blaine forced himself not to smack his brother and looked at Logan. "Was everything you said to me a lie? Was what we had a fucking lie?!"

Logan sighed and tried to hug him and said "Of course not sweetheart I-I just…"

Blaine stopped him there "Did you even care about me or US at all?!"

Logan nodded "Yes of course I did! I Love-"

Blaine stopped him there he knew that was a lie. "No! You don't care! You never looked at me the way you look at him! You don't care! If you did love me or care about me at all you wouldn't have broken my heart like this!"

He paused to breathe he was crying so hard. "Don't say you're sorry or that you love me because you're not and you don't! We're done!"

He looked at Michael who was supposed to be his brother. He looked up to him growing up. "As far as I'm concerned you are not my brother! A real brother wouldn't hurt me like this! We're done!"

"And I w-went to my room and cried for days. Logan came in and told me he loved me and apologized but the damage was already done. He betrayed my trust and broke my heart."

Kurt was shocked and he was a little confused too. "If Logan cheated on you with Michael, why isn't your dad mad at him?"

He started crying again. "C-cause, he a-and L-Logan told him I-I was the one that-that cheated." He threw his arms around Kurt and just sobbed. He felt like his heart was breaking all over again, but he felt as though a huge weight was lifted from his shoulders and felt safe and loved in Kurt's warm embrace.

Kurt kissed his forehead; Kurt felt such hatred toward Logan, Michael and Joseph. He'd never hated anyone so much in his life; he didn't even hate Karofsky as much hated him and that's saying something. These people had hurt someone he cared deeply for, and that made him so angry! Blaine meant everything to him and he hated seeing him like this.

"Blaine, its okay and thank you for telling me."

He nodded, and hugged him. He didn't know how long that they had held each other for but after a while Kurt noticed that Blaine had started crying again.

"Blaine what is it?"

He couldn't respond he was crying too hard. But after he finally had calmed down a bit he looked at Kurt and said "I just, I just remembered, the d-dream where you left me. I-I can't lose you Kurt, I just can't!"

Kurt made Blaine look at him, he needed to know he wasn't going anywhere and he needed to believe that. "Blaine, it's okay. I'm here and I'm not going anywhere!"

He sniffled "Promise?"

Kurt nodded "Of course I do! Would I lie to you?"

He laughed a bit, Kurt always knew how to make him feel better. "N-no."

Kurt smiled at him and kissed his forehead. "Do you want to watch a movie or something?"

He nodded. "Sure."

Kurt patted his knee. "Go and pick something out and I'll be back."

He looked at him panicked asking "Where you going?"

Kurt smiled "To get you some red vines. Although I don't know how you like them they're gross, I bought you a package the other day for you to have here."

He smiled "You're the best!"

Kurt smiled "I know now go pick something out!" He nodded and went to go pick a movie.

Kurt returned with his red vines and a small bag of pop corn. "What movie did you decide on babe?"
He smiled and held up Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince.

Kurt rolled his eyes. "You're obsessed!"

He smiled "Hey don't hate! It's a good book series and amazing movies! What did you have in mind?"

Kurt sighed. "Either Phantom of the Opera, Rent, or Grease."

He laughed, Kurt was a huge theatre kid as was Blaine but not as big as his boyfriend "Ok, when this is over we'll watch one of those ok?"

Kurt nodded "Deal. " Kurt popped in the movie and they cuddled on Kurt's bed watching the movie. They ended up watching Grease afterwards. They ordered a pizza and made a movie night out of it. They got tired after watching rent.��

They got into their pajamas and got into Bed. Blaine ended up crying after a few minutes of being in bed. "What is it Blaine?"

He sighed. "I just…I have a feeling I'm going to have that nightmare again!"

Kurt looked at him. "Blaine, that's not all that you're worried about I'm your boyfriend I know you. What's really��going on?"

Blaine's hazel eyes filled with tears. "I-I-I'm scared Kurt." He wrapped Blaine in his arms "Scared? Scared of what?"

Blaine snuggled up to Kurt. "That the dream I-I had l-last n-night is going to c-c-come t-true."

Kurt looked at Blaine, he really was scared.

"Blaine Joseph Anderson, I want you to look at me right now."

Blaine looked at him with those beautiful hazel eyes he loved so much. "I want you to listen to me very carefully ok?"

He nodded "I will never leave you. Not ever!"

Blaine looked down.

"Hey, I'm not done yet."

Blaine looked at him again

"I know that you've been heartbroken and hurt. But I am not in any way like Logan or Michael."

Blaine sighed "I know…" Kurt hushed him "Not done yet either!"

Blaine looked up yet again.

"Blaine, I know you're scared of what the future holds for us. But I want you to know that when you told me the story about what Logan and Michael did t-to you…"

He had to pause to stop himself from crying. "It broke my heart, and it took everything I had not to cry. Blaine, I will never do what Logan did to you, ever. Blaine, after everything you've been through, you've become stronger because of it, even though it was painful and depressing."

Blaine had tears in his eyes; he couldn't believe what Kurt was saying.

"Blaine, I promise you that you will never ever have to feel that pain or hurt ever again. Not with me. I couldn't do that to you. I can't stand to see you so hurt and upset. I can't see myself without you Blaine. You mean so much to me and I can't and will never hurt you."

Blaine was crying looking at Kurt. He could tell he meant every word that he said, just the look in his eyes and that's how he knew. "Kurt, I-I"

Kurt smiled with tears rolling off his cheeks. "I know, I know."

But Kurt didn't know, in fact he had no idea! Blaine was in love with him, he knew he had romantic feelings and attraction toward him but after what he had said Blaine knew he was in love with Kurt Michael Hummel. Now it was just the matter of when to tell him. "Kurt, what did I do to deserve you?"

Kurt smiled. "You were there, and were yourself. That was enough for me Blaine. I can be myself when I'm with you…I can't do that with a lot of people…"

He smiled and sighed "I am crazy about you Kurt."

He smiled. "The feeling is definitely mutual Blaine." Blaine kissed Kurt softly and snuggled close to him and fell asleep in his arms. He loved the feeling of being so close to him.
