Chapter 8: I'm Leaving
Blaine learned Wednesday morning from Mrs. Jones that his nose thankfully wasn't broken or sprained just badly bruised, and he took out his phone to text Kurt.
Good news, Mrs. Jones said my nose isn't broken, just badly bruised ~Blaine.
He got his reply from Kurt That's a relief. I'll meet you in chemistry ok? ~Kurt.
He was a bit confused but put it to the back of his mind. Ok see you then. ~Blaine
He met Kurt in AP Chemistry greeting him with a Kiss "Hey Kurt."
Kurt smiled "Hey Blaine, how are you feeling?"
He sighed "Alright I mean my nose is still really sore but I'm good."
Kurt sighed "Well, I'm glad your nose isn't broken, that would've sucked."
He laughed "I know me too." Mr. Green came in when the bell rang and class began. Kurt knew he had to tell Blaine today, but he couldn't help but worry.
He was texting Mercedes a lot through out the day. I'm scared C'edes. ~Kurt
He got a reply It'll be ok Kurt! I promise! ~Mercedes��
He sighed and put his phone away. He tried not to think about what that night would bring. He loved Blaine and didn't want to lose him. Blaine noticed throughout the day that Kurt had become distant and whenever he asked Kurt what was wrong he said that he was fine. Of course Blaine knew Kurt was lying through his teeth so he texted the one person who Kurt told everything to, Mercedes. Hey Mercedes, it's Blaine. Can I talk to you for a second? ~Blaine.��
He got a reply from her within a few minutes Hey Blaine, sure thing. What's up? ~Mercedes
He got right to the point. I'm worried about Kurt…~Blaine
Her reply came almost immediately. Why, what's wrong? ~Mercedes.
He's been extremely distant with me today, and he never is. And whenever I talk to him about it he says he's fine. But I know he's lying. I also know that he tells you everything. So do you know what's wrong with him? ~Blaine
Her reply made him sigh Yes, I do. But I can't tell you Blaine. Stop worrying it'll be fine. You'll find out what's wrong soon. I g2g ttyl ~ Mercedes
Kurt got a text from Mercedes as he was walking from calculus. Kurt, Blaine knows something's up. He just texted me, I didn't tell him but you need to quit being so damn obvious! I g2g Glee is starting. Call me later ILY~ Mercedes.��
He sighed "Damn, I really do need to work on that. Come on Kurt snap out of it!" He told himself. He went to Warbler Practice and acted completely normal, like nothing was wrong.
Blaine noticed this and thought to himself "Maybe he was just tired or something…he's fine now."
It was extremely hard for Kurt; he hadn't acted like nothing was wrong in a long time. But he did it which comforted and relaxed Blaine.
After Warbler Practice Blaine met Kurt at his locker. "Hey, I'll be at your dorm say 4:30 or so. I've got to pick up some stuff for a project."
He nodded "Okay, I'll see you then." He gave Kurt a quick kiss and was off. Kurt sighed putting his head against his cool blue locker, letting a few tears roll off his cheeks.
Jake was walking by and noticed him there. "Hey Kurt, what's wrong?"
He quickly wiped away his tears when he noticed he wasn't alone. "Oh. Hey Jake. Nothing, I-I'm fine."
Jake rolled his eyes "You're just like Blaine. You both seriously suck at lying. Now spill, what's wrong?"
He sighed, he couldn't tell him the full reason…he'd tell Blaine. "N-nothing…just do me a favor will ya? And don't tell Blaine."
Jake nodded "What's up?"
He looked down at his feet then up at Jake. "D-don't ask why, but uh. Just be there for B-Blaine, when he get's home tonight. He, He's going to need s-someone, j-just promise me you'll do that, P-please?"
Jake was a little shocked at his request but nodded. "Okay Kurt, but what about you?"
He sniffled "D-don't worry about m-me. ��I'll be fine; I have Mercedes and my f-family. Blaine doesn' t right now. He only has y-you. You're his b-best friend ��Jake. Promise m-me you'll take care of him, n-no matter w-what happens. Promise me Jake, p-please?"
Jake was a bit worried now, Kurt has never talked to him like that. But he nodded "Sure, Kurt of course I will."
He looked at him. "P-promise?"
Jake nodded "I promise."
He smiled "Thanks Jake. I-I gotta go." Jake nodded and Kurt went to his dorm.
He had calmed himself by the time he got to his room around 3:45. He looked at his new picture frame, and sighed. He hoped he wouldn't lose him. Then his cell went off it was Mercedes. He picked up.
"Hey Kurt, how are you holding up?"
He sighed "I'm hanging in there. Just hoping nothing goes wrong."
She sighed "Kurt it'll be fine! Order the pizza, watch the movie and tell him. You can call me if you need to."
He sniffled "Ok, thanks. I, uh, I gotta go. He'll be here soon."
She chuckled "Ok Kurt. Calm down! It'll be fine! Talk to you later. Bye."
He wiped his eyes "I'll try, Bye." He hung up and ordered their pizza.
He heard a knock on the door. He sighed and said to himself "He's here, this is it." ��
He opened the door to a smiling Blaine. "Hey Kurt!"
He smiled "Hey come in." Blaine gave him a kiss and walked inside.
Kurt shut the door and said "I ordered the pizza, it'll be here soon."
He nodded "Cool."
He looked into his eyes, they were red. "Kurt, have you been crying?"
Kurt shook his head. "No, I got something in my eye and I tried to get it out."
He shrugged. "Ok, if you say so."
He looked at Kurt and pulled him in for a kiss, and just as their lips touched, there was a knock on the door. They sighed Kurt got up. "Pizza's here. I'll get it." He walked over and opened the door and gasped.��
The pizza guy was an average sized Blonde boy. Kurt's eyes widened "S-Sam, is that you?"
The pizza guy closed his eyes and sighed when he saw who it was. "Kurt."
He pulled him inside putting the pizza down. He gave him a hug "Oh my god! It's great to see you Sam! But why are you delivering pizzas?"
Sam sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. "If I tell you, you can't tell anyone on New Directions got it?"
Kurt nodded "Of course!"
Sam sighed "Well, my dad lost his job, and the bank took our house. They literally took everything and put it on the front lawn. Now, we live in a motel room. So I got this job to help out with money."
Kurt gasped "Oh god, Sam…that's horrible! I'm so sorry!"
Sam sighed "It's ok. I gotta go, I have more pizzas to deliver, and it's $12.30." He gave Sam the money plus a $20 tip.
Kurt sighed "Hey, you still got my number?"
Sam nodded. "Yeah."
He gave Sam a Hug. "If you need anything, call me okay? I'll be here."
Sam nodded "I-I will. Thanks Kurt, it was great to see you."
Kurt smiled "It was good to see you too. Tell everyone I said hi!" They hugged and Sam left.
He shut the door and Blaine walked over to him. "You ok baby?"
Kurt nodded. "Yeah, I just feel bad for him. Living in a motel…They have nothing!"
Blaine hugged him "I know, it'll be okay."
He nodded "I know it will. But hey, the pizza's getting cold."
Blaine nodded "Okay, I'll get the pizza; you go put on the movie."
He nodded and went to go put on the movie. "They didn't have Willy Wonka, but I have Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with Johnny Depp. Do you want to watch that?"
Blaine nodded "Sure, that's a good movie."
He pressed play on the DVD player and sat beside Blaine. They ate their pizza and ended up cuddling.
Blaine chuckled at the end of the movie. "How is it that no matter what role he plays, the movie is a hit?"
Kurt sighed "Because Blaine, Johnny Depp is a freaking genius! He's one of the best actors out there!"
He nodded "Agreed, although I don't really like how he looked in that movie…without his beard or mustache."
Kurt chuckled "Blaine, that's because we're used to seeing him playing Jack Sparrow and other roles with it. Duh!"
He rolled his eyes "Please, it's Captain ��Jack Sparrow, he's whoop your ass if he heard you say that!"
Kurt scoffed "Please, he wouldn't lay a finger on me!"
He raised an eye brow at Kurt. "Oh and why is that?" Kurt grinned "Because, I'll have the rum."
He laughed "Oh, touch�! "
Kurt got quiet after that. Blaine tightened his grip around him. "Hey what's wrong? You're awful quiet."
Kurt sighed he knew it was time. "Um well."
Kurt got up, and that worried Blaine. "Kurt, is everything alright?"
Kurt shook his head "N-no…"
He wrapped his arms around his waist, and moved the hair out of his face. "Do you want to talk about it?"
Kurt shook his head. "N-no…Blaine."
He sighed "You don't have to if you don't want to baby."
Kurt sighed "No, B-Blaine. I don't want to t-talk a-bout it, but I- I have t-to."
He looked at him. "Okay, what's on your mind?" Kurt sighed "I-I don't even know w-where to start."
He smiled a bit hoping to ease the tension. "Do you need a minute?"
Kurt nodded
He smiled "Okay I'm gonna run to the bathroom ok?" Kurt nodded and Blaine kissed his forehead before going to the bathroom.
Kurt took deep breaths trying to collect himself. He knew he had to do it; he had no other choice in the matter. He opened his phone when it went off. Courage boo! ~Mercedes ��He smiled and grabbed the box of tissues and wiped his eyes as Blaine walked out. Kurt was ready, as ready as he could ever be.
He smiled "You okay?"
Kurt nodded "I-I'm ready. B-Blaine, we uh we need to talk…"
His heart sank as he spoke the most dreaded words in any relationship. He cleared his throat not trying to jump to conclusions. "O-ok, about what?"
Kurt took Blaine's hands in his. "A few things actually. I'm n-not sick or anything but it's important and pretty big."
Blaine was getting extremely nervous and tried to hide it. "What-whatever it is Kurt, it'll be okay."
Kurt felt tears roll down his cheek and he cleared his throat. "Blaine, I-I'm…"
Kurt put his head down and Blaine lifted it. "You're w-what baby?"
Kurt sighed. "I-I'm l-leaving B-Blaine." Blaine's heart broke and he was silent.��He took his hands away from Kurt's.
"B-Blaine, I'm so sorry. I-I hope this d-doesn't change things between us."
Blaine stood up and looked at him tears rolling down his cheeks. "C-change things?! Y-you're breaking up with me the day after our one month anniversary ��and you don't want things to change?! ��Of course they're going to change ��Kurt!"
Kurt's grey eyes widened "Wha-, B-breaking up with you?! Y-you think I'm l-leaving you!?"
He nodded "That's what you said!"
Kurt gasped "Blaine! I did say I was leaving B-"
He nodded "I know! I was there!"
Kurt wiped his eyes. "Oh god Blaine, I am leaving yes but not you! I can't leave you!"
He looked at him confused "Then you better explain what the hell is going on here!"
Kurt sighed "I'm trying to explain if you could just shut up for a fucking second and let me explain!"
Blaine looked away from him "Hey Look at me!"
Blaine looked at him with tear filled eyes. "I'm leaving Dalton."
Blaine felt his heart break. "W-what, why?!"
Kurt cried "I-I have no c-choice! We can't a-afford the t-tuition anymore!"
Blaine put his head in his hands. "How, h-how long have you k-known about this?"
Kurt hoped he wouldn't ask that question. "A w-week."
Blaine lifted his head. "A w-week?! You've know about this for a fucking week and you're just telling me this now?! ��Kurt Why the hell didn't you tell me?!"
Kurt sighed "I'm sorry Blaine! I wanted to tell you!" Blaine walked over to the window.
It was quiet for a while until Blaine finally broke the silence "H-how long?"
Kurt sniffled "I-I'm leaving when next semester starts."
He looked at him shocked. "Three w-weeks?! You're leaving in three weeks?!"
Kurt nodded "Y-yeah, when tuitions due."
Blaine slid down the wall and put his head in his hands and sobbed thinking "How could this be happening to me? Things were just starting to get good for me!"
He felt a hand on his shoulder. Kurt sighed his worst fears were becoming a reality.
Blaine lifted his head, tears running down his cheeks. "I'm, I'm s-sorry I didn't t-tell you s-sooner. I didn't want to ruin our anniversary, but I guess waiting was worse…"
He sighed as he looked at him. There was more to his reason, he could just tell. "K-Kurt, there's more to it. Something you're not telling me. I can tell. What is it?" Kurt looked down.
Blaine made him look at him "Kurt, you can tell me anything you know that right?"
Kurt nodded "Ye-yeah I-I k-know that. I can't Blaine."
Blaine was getting frustrated. "Then why can't you just tell me?"
He sighed "Because I can't!"
Blaine started at him. "What are you cheating on me or something?"
Kurt looked at him "Of course not!"
He sighed "Do you not trust me or something, because that's what relationships are supposed to be based on! Trust!"
Kurt was shocked "Seriously, you think I don't trust you? Of course I trust you!"
He stood up. "Apparently you don't trust me enough to talk to me, about what's bothering you!"
Kurt put his head in his hands.��Blaine looked down at him "Kurt seriously! What is the other reason? Talk to me!"
Kurt stood up and practically yelled "I was scared okay!? Are you happy now?!"
He was shocked. "Y-you were s-scared? ��S-scared of what?"
Kurt lost it, now Blaine knew and he was worried. Kurt took a shaky breath "I w-w-was s-sc-scared I'd lose you!"
He looked at Kurt in disbelief. "You didn't tell me because you were afraid you'd lose me?"
Kurt nodded and cried. He had a feeling that Blaine would probably just break up with him then. Instead he felt Blaine wrap his arms around him, pulling him close and said "Kurt…"
Kurt snuggled up to his chest and cried, and Blaine cried with him. He lifted his chin a few minutes later. "Baby, I want you to l-look at m-me."
Kurt looked up with tears in his eyes. "W-what is it?"
He sighed "Kurt you're not going to lose me!"
Kurt sighed "Blaine…"
He shook his head "Let me finish!" Kurt silenced himself and continued to look into his hazel eyes.
"Kurt, baby you have nothing ��to be worried about."
Kurt sniffled "Uh, yeah I kinda do Blaine."
He raised an eyebrow at him. "And what, pray tell, do you have to worry about?"
Kurt sighed "Blaine, I'm going to be over an h-hour away!"
He nodded "I know, what's your point?"
Kurt sighed in frustration. "My p-point is, h-how is this g-going to w-work?" Kurt sat on his bed putting his head in his hands.
Blaine sighed "Babe, we've done it before."
Kurt looked up. "Yeah but we weren't together ��then Blaine!"
He sighed. Kurt had a point, and he started to cry. How were ��they going to make it work?
He looked at Kurt, he loved him so much. He took his hands and collected himself. "Hey, w-we're going to make this work."
Kurt was still crying when he asked "H-how? You'll be in Westerville and I'll be Lima."
Blaine got on his knees and looked at him through his teary eyes and honestly said "I-I, d-don't know h-how…B-but we will! ��I c-can't lose you Kurt, I just can't!" Kurt cried harder and threw his arms around him.
After he calmed himself a bit Kurt looked in Blaine's eyes. "Hey, you're not going to l-lose me Blaine."
He smiled a bit. "I-I m-made y-you a p-promise when-when y-you asked m-me to be your boyfriend remember?"
Blaine just looked at him "I-I promised y-you that I would never ��break your heart l-like L-Logan did." Kurt chocked back a sob as he said "And and…K-Kurt Michael Hummel keeps his p-promises!" Blaine just looked at him and cried.
He held Kurt close and whispered "N-nothing c-can t-tear us apart…n-not even di-stance. I-I promise." Kurt could only nod.��
They held each other and cried. Blaine knew in his heart that Kurt couldn't be at Dalton forever, but he hoped it would've lasted longer. Blaine looked at Kurt and Said "I am going to miss you so much."
Kurt sighed "I'll miss you t-too. But we- we still have three weeks. We-we should make the most of it."
Blaine smiled sadly. "I-I know." He took his hands. "And we will, I-I promise."
Kurt nodded "Okay." Blaine looked at the clock, it was ten of eleven. He sighed "I-I gotta go baby, it's getting l-late."
Kurt really didn't want him to leave, but he understood. "Ok, I'll walk you out." He took his hand and the walked out. After they shared a quick kiss, Blaine walked to his dorm. James saw him and booked it back to his room
Blaine looked at Jake. He could just tell by the look in his eyes that something was very wrong. He put his book down and walked over to him he was just staring at Kurt's picture on his desk. "B-Blaine you ok?"
He looked at him and he just lost it. Jake opened his arms "C'mere."
Blaine collapsed in his arms sobbing. Blaine tried to compose himself but he was seriously heart broken.
"Blaine shhh, its okay. What happened? Talk to me."
He took a shaky breath "He, He's l-leaving J-Jake!"
Jake gasped "He, He's leaving ��you?!"
He shook his head "N-not just m-me, us. ��He's l-leaving Dalton. "
Jake was shocked "Oh wow…Blaine, did he say why and when?"
He nodded "His, family uh, they can't afford it anymore. He-He's leaving in t-three w-weeks when Tuition's due."
Jake ran a hand through his brown hair "Are you guys still together? I could hear the arguing from down the hall, when I went to get chips."
He nodded "Yeah… I don't know how but we're going to do it though, but we'll find a way. Heh, I also kinda thought he was cheating on me."
Jake hit him off the head "Are you fucking crazy!? "
Blaine stared at him "What?! I was distraught, I wasn't thinking clearly! Sorry! Damn, that hurt."
Jake sighed "Blaine, I'm gonna explain something to you. Okay."
He looked up "Jake-"
He shook his head "No Shut the hell up and listen to what I have to say!" Blaine nodded
"Blaine, Kurt isn't like Logan! He would never ��cheat on you! He fucking loves you! You seriously need to figure out that not everyone is like Logan!"
Blaine looked at him. "You don't know what it feels like to see your boyfriend making out with your fucking brother!"
Jake sighed "Blaine! No I don't! And I also don't have someone who loves me okay?! You're the closest thing to family I fucking have! I love you and ��Kurt like��brothers and I don't want to see you throw what you and Kurt have away over some douche bag!"
Blaine banged his fist on the desk "I'm not fucking throwing it away I was scared when Logan left that nobody ��would love me like him! Then I found Kurt! Today, he was scared I was scared. We were both angry and frustrated! Jake I'm still fucking scared okay?!"
Jake sighed "Dude, what the hell are you scared of!"
Blaine looked at his picture. "Of telling him I love him and losing him okay? The last time I was in love with someone they fucking left me for my brother because I wouldn't put out!"
Blaine fell on his bed crying. Jake was shocked "Blaine, hey look at me!"
Blaine shook his head "No, just talk I'm listening."
He groaned "Fine! But hey, is the reason you haven't told him you loved him because you don't want to lose him? Don't give me that bullshit about the song, because it's finished. You shouldn't leave your open notebook on your desk when I'm cleaning."
Blaine sighed "I guess."
Jake lifted him off his bed. "Dude, you can't play it safe forever, he loves you. He's uh, he's told me."
Blaine looked at him "He what?"
He shook his head "Um…I didn't say anything."
Blaine grinned "Okay, whatever you say."
Jake sighed "So…I'm guessing this means you'll be spending every ��waking moment together?"
He chuckled "Yeah, that's the plan. I just wish we had more time ya know?"
Jake nodded "I know man, I know."
An idea struck Jake and he laughed "I just got an idea!"
He looked at him. "Should I be worried?"
Jake smiled at him "Nah, I'm not gonna tell you either! I've gotta check with people first."
He whined. "Greeeat, the last time you said that I ended up breaking my leg!"
Jake took out his cell "Oh you'll like this one."
He sighed "That's what you said last time. 'Yeah let's make Blaine do this move it'll be awesome!'"
He rolled his eyes "Just go to bed Blaine!"
He nodded "Fine, Goodnight and if you hear crying it's probably me so ignore it!"��
When James got into his room Kurt was curled in a ball crying on the phone. "I-I gotta go C'edes."
He put his stuff away "Love you too, bye!"
Kurt hung up the phone and collapsed on his bed sobbing. James went to his side. "What's wrong Kurt?"
Kurt took a shaky breath "I'm l-leaving D-Dalton James."
James felt a piece of his heart break. "What, why?"
He sighed. "Money issues and I'll be leaving in t-three weeks. When tuitions due."
James sighed "D-did you and B-Blaine break up over this?"
He shook his head "N-no, we're going to make it work. It's gonna be hard leaving you guys, e-especially Blaine…god I love him."
James smiled "Aww, does he know?"
He shook his head "No, not yet."
James smiled "You should tell him."
He smiled "I will, when the time is right."
James nodded and put a hand on his shoulder. "Kurt, it's going to be okay, I know it."
Kurt smiled "Really how do you know?"
He smiled "You and Blaine, it's like you were made for each other, I doubt you'll ever split."
Kurt smiled "Thanks James." He nodded "No problem I-"
He was interrupted when his cell went off; it was a text from Jake. He smiled
"That's fucking brilliant!" Kurt sighed as he got into bed. "What is?"
He showed Kurt the text and his eyes widened "Oh my god!" He smiled "I'll do it if you want me to."
Kurt smiled "Really?!" he nodded "Sure you'd do the same thing for me."
Kurt smiled and hugged him. "Thank you so much! You're the best!"
He smiled "So…I'll take that as a yes?"
Kurt nodded "Um, YES! Are you kidding me? It's the best idea ever!"
He laughed "Ok, let me text Jake."
Yeah we're both in ~James
