Chapter 1: The Fight BPOV
Blaine's POV:
"I'll be back in a few minutes." he said and I sat on his bed. I smiled at the picture of us at prom on his shelf. You'd think it would be one of the hardest things for me to do considering the Sadie Hawkins dance but it wasn't...because it was Kurt. I was brought out of my thoughts when Kurt's phone buzzed on the bed. I didn't think much of it, I figured it was Rachel going on about NYADA or something, but then it buzzed again three more times. Curiousness got the better of me and I picked up his phone. Four texts from Chandler...who was Chandler? I opened a text and as I scrolled through I noticed there were dozens of texts between them, and they were flirting! I could not believe he was doing this to me...Kurt of all people! As Chandler kept texting him my heart broke more and more. Kurt was cheating on me!
When Kurt came back with the food for our Being Bobby Brown marathon. I looked up from Kurt's phone and asked softly but firmly "Kurt, who's Chandler?"
He looked at me "Why are you going through my phone?"
I looked back at the phone "I wasn't it just keeps buzzing because Chandler won't stop texting you."
He looked down at his feet as I read one text "When we go to New York let's go in front of the plaza and reenact the ending of the Way We Were."
He held out his hand "Give me that."
I looked at the next message "Can you sing into my voice mail I want to make your voice my ringtone!"
"Give me my phone!"
I got off his bed and stood over by the bookshelf. "There are dozens of texts between you two, you've only texted me four times in the past few days about peach colored shoe polish!"
He looked at me confused "Blaine, this is all innocent. Why are you getting so upset?"
Innocent? He thought this was innocent? "No, this is cheating Kurt!”
He shook his head "No, this is texting! He's just a guy I met at the music store, nothing happened!" He sighed "You used to text Sebastian all the time, you even called him!"
I shook my head "Yes, but I didn't like him! And the texts between us were family friendly!" Why wasn't he seeing what he did was wrong?
He sighed and looked away from me. My voice cracked as I said the obvious "Kurt, you like this guy."
He sat down on his bed "I like the way he makes me feel." That hurt, he pretty much told me I wasn't doing my part as a boyfriend. "When was the last time you complimented me or told me how special I was?"
I looked at him in shock "Are you serious Kurt? I transferred schools to be with you! I changed my whole life for you! That doesn't make you feel loved?!"
He shook his head "You have no idea what it's like to be your boyfriend Blaine okay? You are the alpha gay, even Rachel wanted to make out with you!"
I crossed my arms and looked down at the floor trying not to let the tears fall. He just had to go and bring up Rachel...didn't he? I still haven't forgiven myself for that and he knows that.
"I used to get solo's every week, do you know how many times I had to sit on a stool and watch you perform?!"
I looked at him "Then talk to me Kurt! Tell me you're unhappy." My voice cracked as I said "But don't cheat on me."
"Blaine I didn't cheat on you I was just texting someone I met at the music store! It's all innocent Blaine!”
I shook my head in disbelief "I can't believe you would do this to me Kurt. I knew that we'd hit bumps in the road." I chuckled "Hell, everybody does!" I felt a tear fall from my eye as I said "But I never in a million years thought that you'd hurt me like this and cheat on me!" I picked up my bag and headed for the door.
He sighed "Blaine, for the last time I did not cheat on you! I'm sorry if this made you upset! But...it's okay!"
I turned and faced him "No Kurt, what you're doing isn't right!" I chuckled "But it's okay!" I heard his phone buzz and I looked at him with tears in my eyes "Wouldn't want to keep Chandler waiting." I left his house ignoring Sam and Kurt calling my name. I hated doing it but I needed to get out of there, it hurt too much.
It was raining, it matched my mood. I sat in my car for a few minutes trying to collect myself enough to drive home...but I couldn't. I heard a tap at my window and saw Sam there and I unlocked the door letting him in. I looked at him "Y-you know don't you..."
He nodded "Yeah, I saw Kurt texting him yesterday. I’m sorry man. I know how you feel..."
I just shook my head "I-I just.." I sighed "I just want to go home. B-but I can't c-calm down e-enough to drive!"
He sighed "Look, Artie lives a few blocks from you, I need to see him fro a project anyway. Let me drive you home and I can go to Artie's from your place."
I looked at him "A-are you sure? It's raining pretty hard out Sam..."
He chuckled "Blaine, a little rain isn't gonna hurt me. I'm sure. Now scoot let's get you home."
I got out and ran around to the passenger's seat. "T-thanks man. I owe you one."
He shook his head after he pulled out "Don't mention it."
I looked out the window, letting the tears fall silently. He looked over at me "Do you want to talk about it?"
I shook my head "Not r-really Sam."
He sighed "Look man, what Kurt did was fucked up. Even though it was just texting it still looks like cheating in my eyes."
I knew Sam was just trying to help, but it made it worse. How did Sam see what Kurt did was wrong but not him? I sighed "Can...can we like not talk about this right now S-sam. I know you're trying to help...but."
He nodded "Yeah I get it. It's cool. We're at your house now anyway." He parked my car in the driveway and we both got out. He gave me a hug "Everything's gonna be okay man. If you need anything call me okay?"
I nodded "Y-yeah Thanks." He waved and jogged off to Artie's. A car drove by and I heard Teenage Dream blasting on their stereo and I just ran into the house crying.
Cooper was in the living room "Hey Blaine!"
I looked at him with tears rolling down my cheeks and just collapsed crying. He was by my side in a second "Holy shit, what's wrong Blaine?"
"H-He c-c-cheated o-on me!" I sobbed.
He looked at me "What? Kurt cheated on you?"
I nodded "Y-yeah."
He helped me up "Come on up you go, go on in your room and I'll bring up some ice cream and we can talk about it okay?"
I nodded "O-Okay." I went up to my room and just collapsed on my bed sobbing. My heart was broken the love of my life cheated on me with some guy he met at a fucking music store! Cooper came in a few minutes later with Chocolate ice cream and two spoons.
"Okay, so tell me what happened?"
I took a deep breath and said "H-he was g-getting food for our m-marathon, and h-his phone wouldn't s-stop buzzing and it was f-from this guy Ch-chandler who he'd been flirting with through texts over the past few days and...and he doesn't t-think wh-what he d-did w-was w-w-wrong!"
I cried on his chest after I had finished and he just held me and rubbed my back. "It's gonna be okay Blainey. I can't believe he'd do that to you." I can't remember the last time my brother had been there for me like this...I liked it and it comforted me.
I looked at my brother through my tears "D-do you t-think I overreacted about all of this Coop?"
He sighed "Well, I mean he's with you...and flirting with another guy. That counts as cheating to me Blaine."
I sighed "What am I going to do Coop...I-I love him so much and it hurts Coop!"
He held me close to him "Shh, I know it hurts Blaine, I know it does buddy. What do you always do when you have no clue how to put what you want to say in words?"
I chuckled "I sing about it..."
He nodded "Yep."
I sighed "Coop...what if...what if I lose him?" I shook my head "I-I can't lose him Coop..."
He rubbed my back "Hey, it's going to be okay. But you need to let him know that what he did wasn't right, but you'll be okay."
I sat up "THAT'S IT COOP!"
He looked at me confused "Huh?"
I looked at him "It's Whitney week and I know just the song to sing..."
He shook his head "That's my boy."
------------
Kurt's POV
"I'll be right back." I said and I left my room to go get the food for our "Being Bobby Brown" marathon. Sam was sitting in the kitchen eating a sandwich "Hey dude, what's up?"
"You didn't touch the cheese plate did you?" I asked raising an eyebrow.
He shook his head "Nope! This is peanut butter and jelly. Don't judge!" He left with the sandwich and watched TV.
I grabbed the plate and made my way back to my boyfriend. "Okay, the marathon can officially begin!"
He looked at me and asked "Who's Chandler?"
I saw that he had my phone in his hand...what was he doing with that? "Why are you going through my phone?"
He looked back at my phone, he was clearly reading through my texts...invasion of privacy much? "I wasn't it just keeps buzzing because Chandler won't stop texting you."
I looked down at my feet thinking Shit, he's going to see those texts...he read one aloud "When we go to New York let's go in front of the plaza and reenact the ending of the Way We Were."
I held out my hand for my phone, I needed to stop this before it got out of hand. "Give me that."
He stood up and read the next message to me. "Can you sing into my voice mail I want to make your voice my ringtone!"
I would've blushed if I hadn't been so pissed at Blaine for not respecting my privacy. "Give me my phone!"
He got off my bed and stood over by the bookshelf. Not giving me back my phone. "There are dozens of texts between you two, you've only texted me four times in the past few days about peach colored shoe polish!"
I looked at him confused. It was just me talking to someone else...I didn't see what the big problem was, it was all innocent! "Blaine, this is all innocent. Why are you getting so upset?"
I could see the kicked puppy look in his eyes as he said "No, this is cheating Kurt!"
Cheating? He thought I was cheating on him?! Was he insane?! After seeing what Finn went through with Rachel and Quinn? Hell No! "No, this is texting! He's just a guy I met at the music store, nothing happened!" I stood up in front of him "You used to text Sebastian all the time, you even called him!"
He shook his head as he replied "Yes, but I didn't like him! And the texts between us were family friendly." I really didn’t know if that was even true! Because I didn’t go through his phone!
I sighed and looked away from him. "Kurt, you like this guy." he said as his voice cracked.
I sat down on my bed "I like the way he makes me feel. When was the last time you complimented me or told me how special I was?"
He looked at me shocked "Are you serious Kurt? I transferred schools to be with you! I changed my whole life for you! That doesn't make you feel loved?!"
Wow, Blaine, the transfer card? Really? Of course it made me feel loved! "You have no idea what it's like to be your boyfriend Blaine okay? You are the alpha gay, even Rachel wanted to make out with you!"
I knew I might have crossed a line with the Rachel thing...He crossed his arms and looked down at the floor trying not to let the tears fall. "I used to get solo's every week, do you know how many times I had to sit on a stool and watch you perform?!"
He looked at me again, with that same kicked puppy look. "Then talk to me Kurt! Tell me you're unhappy." His voice cracked again "But don't cheat on me."
I stood up taking my phone back, this had gone far enough. "Blaine I didn't cheat on you I was just texting someone I met at the music store! It's all innocent Blaine!"
He shook his head in disbelief "I can't believe you would do this to me Kurt. I knew that we'd hit bumps in the road." I chuckled "Hell, everybody does!" I felt a tear fall from my eye as I said "But I never in a million years thought that you'd hurt me like this and cheat on me!" He picked up his bag and headed for the door.
Was he serious? I didn't cheat on him! He sighed "Blaine, for the last time I did not cheat on you! I'm sorry if this made you upset! But...it's okay!" I hoped he'd see what I was doing was innocent and not cheating...because it wasn't!
He turned and faced me tears on his cheeks "No Kurt, what you're doing isn't right!" He chuckled "But it's okay!" I heard my phone buzz and Blaine must have too, he looked at me with tears in his eyes "Wouldn't want to keep Chandler waiting." He left my room.
I sighed following him this wasn't good "Blaine! Blaine come back!" But he ignored me and the door slammed shut. I sighed "SHIT!"
Sam was in his room and he heard the door slam "What the hell happened?"
I shook my head "Blaine and I just had a pretty big fight...will you go...check on him?"
He nodded "Sure if he's still here..."
I nodded "Thanks Sam."
"No problem."
I went back up into my room and sat on my bed thinking about what the hell just happened. I wasn't doing anything wrong, I knew that it was all innocent. It's not like I kissed the guy or they were inappropriate texts. But I couldn't get Blaine's heartbroken expression out of my head. I knew I was going to have to talk to him about this...but I know my boyfriend well enough that I need to give him space to cool off before I even attempt to talk to him. Hopefully Sam can help him cool down a bit. I decided to take a shower to help clear my head...I was in there for a while. I hoped Sam would have texted me but he didn't...so I decided to text Cooper. He was probably home by now anyway, and I may be pissed at Blaine, but I still love him.
Hey Cooper, it's Kurt. Did Blaine get home okay? -Kurt
Define okay...-Cooper
I groaned greeeat he's probably been crying...not that I blame him. In one piece...-Kurt
Oh yeah, he's home in one piece. Can't say the same for his heart. Kurt what the fuck did you do? He came home bawling his eyes out because you cheated on him?! Did you forget the little talk we had two weeks ago?- Cooper.
I sighed, yeah I remembered. I got the "Big Brother Speech" You hurt my brother I hurt you.
Cooper, I didn't cheat on him, I'm just texting another guy it's all innocent he blew it out of proportion! -Kurt
Don't give me that shit Kurt! Since he got home he's been crying. I've never seen him so upset or heartbroken Kurt. Not even when that Jeremiah kid shot him down. He's hurt Kurt. And I can't talk anymore cause my baby brother needs me. -Cooper.
I know it probably makes me seem like an asshole but I smiled at the text, Blaine was home safe and for once his brother was there for him. I know he needs time and I'm going to give that to him.
