Kurt felt Blaine squeeze his hand and he looked at Annabelle for her reaction. The seconds dragged on with no response until she finally spoke.

“You're...gay?” she asked looking at them. Kurt could feel his stomach plummet at the comment from her.

“Yes. I've been out for years and with Blaine since high school. I'm surprised you never picked up on it. On me especially,” Kurt said.

“Well...Blaine definitely doesn't seem...gay,” she said cringing on the last word. Kurt felt everything in him break and he felt the tears streaming down his cheeks.

“Well I am. If you'll hear us out we can explain...for the most part,” Blaine said. Kurt looked at her and she slowly nodded.

“In my junior year of high school there...there was this one guy who was bullying me all of the time. Verbal and physical abuse. All because I was gay. I went to spy on The Warblers. My Glee club wanted to know what our competition was like. I was gay and they thought I should do it. I agreed and went to Dalton. I met Blaine there. He talked to me about the bullying and how I could get over it. I asked if he was gay and he said he was. He knew what I was going through,” Kurt said.

“Bullied because you were gay? You were idiotic enough to come out in a homophobic school?” Annabelle asked. He didn't know if she was being rude or trying to be nice.

“You said you would listen,” Blaine reminded her curtly.

“Sorry...continue,” Annabelle said.

“The next time he did something. I followed him into the locker room...I confronted the guy and he kissed me. I called Blaine and Blaine came over and talked to the guy. He talked to him but it only got worse...he threatened to kill me after that. That was when my dad found out and they sent me to Dalton,” Kurt said.

“Not because Blaine convinced you? Or the fact that the education was better?”

“No...it was better that I went there. The education did mean a lot though. My old high school was not that good.”

“Eventually I went back though. I missed it and the guy was gone. Before that though...Blaine and me fell in love. We started dating and Dalton got even better. I did transfer a few weeks after but we stayed together. The next fall in my senior year Blaine transferred to McKinley High School,” Kurt said. Annabelle was staring at him with no emotion.

“I'm so sorry about the lies Annabelle. I really am,” Kurt said. She just snorted at him and then at Blaine.

“What about you Blaine? Is all of your stuff a lie?”

“Almost...the reason I got attacked when I was 15 was because I was gay and went to a dance with another boy. My dad sent me to Dalton after that. I haven't talked to my dad in years because I told him I was with Kurt,” Blaine said. Kurt squeezed his hand and smiled.

“You two...both of you lied to me? Told me Blaine was straight and I actually fell in love! And then...you and Rachel were a lie?”

“Me and Rachel are just friends. Her and Finn are engaged. Blaine isn't straight obviously...” Kurt said.

“Why would you lie though? I'm your sister!”

“Because! You're homophobic! You would have hated me before you met me. I wanted to know you before I lost you...again,” Kurt said.

“You still lied and that's so much worse...I...I don't know what to do,” she said. Kurt did not expect this from her.

“Annabelle...our mom was such a caring woman...our dad is the same way and I don't know why you would be homophobic...our mom would not want that,” Kurt said.

“Our mom isn't here Kurt! She's dead! So how would you know?” she asked. He felt more of him breaking and twisting inside at those words. How could she just yell that out and not think it wouldn't affect him? Kurt remembered their mother...maybe she didn't but he did and that's what hurt.

“From what I can remember she was amazing. She loved everybody and did all that she could to help anybody,” Kurt said. Kurt looked back at her. She was staring him practically glaring.

“I don't know her at all so I don't know that. I was raised by our Aunt and Uncle for some reason,” she said.

“Because...our mom died from cancer and dad couldn't do it. He told me that since I was older than you and would know what was going on he kept me with him. He asked our Aunt and Uncle to take you to raise. He said he wanted to bring you back but you had grown accustomed to their life and didn't want to uproot you,” Kurt said.

“I wish I could have stayed. Life would have been so much easier,” she said.

“If you don't mind me asking Anna...why are you homophobic? What happened? His Aunt and Uncle knew he was gay...why would they raise you like that?” Blaine asked.

“They didn't...they told me to love everybody. I did...until I was fifteen...” Annabelle said. Kurt saw her start to break down under the walls. He didn't understand and hoped she'd open up before closing back off.
