I hope you find this chapter satisfying :)
"Blaine!?"
The voice is angry and cold. It comes from downstairs and belongs to Blaines father. I feel Blaine tense in my hug and slowly pull away. He shivers. That probably means that he doesnt get along with his dad. Blaine talked about this once, when I was here for the first time, I just never imagined it would sound like this.
"Blaine?" I ask, slightly worried. Just from his dads tone I can tell that Im not going to like that guy.
"Stay here," Blaine says quietly and puts a hand on my chest. He doesnt look into my eyes, but he swallows hard, and that alone tells me that hes beyond scared.
He stands up and leaves the room.
Im here alone now. Suddenly I get a weird feeling inside – this situation doesnt feel good, not at all. And I swear if that guys gonna do something to my boyfriend, I wont be able to control myself.
I hear them speaking.
I dont understand what theyre saying, but it doesnt sound nice. His dad is shouting. Not loud enough for me to recognize the words though. Blaine is saying something back, theyre probably just arguing.
I feel a bit relieved because it really sounds like that. But then his dad says something firmly and I can hear a chair fall over.
Oh my God.
Theres silence. Scary silence. More silence than I like and thats what makes me run to the door of Blaines room. Please be alright! As soon as I open the door I see Blaine, going up the stairs and holding his face.
"Blaine?" I call his name and only then I realize how high pitched my voice is. That only happens when Im scared and thats not very often. "Blaine?" I say again, silently. He looks up at me and slowly goes to his room.
When I close the door behind us, he immediately hugs me and buries his nose into my shoulder. Then he starts sobbing.
Now, just to be clear, I dont usually know what the hell to do in these situations since no one ever liked me enough, or considered me a good enough friend, to actually hug me, cry on my shoulder and seek my comfort. But oddly enough, I know exactly what to do now. Its Blaine after all. My boyfriend.
I hug him back and slowly walk him to his bed, where he sits down while still clinging to my blue shirt. "Shh," I whisper and rub his back. If he needs comfort, hes gonna get it.
"What happened?" I ask carefully, not wanting to startle him if hes not ready to talk about it just yet. He sniffs and slowly looks up at me. I gasp. Theres a blue bruise forming right on his left eye. I swear to God, Im gonna kill that guy who calls himself a father! They may share half a DNA, but he had no right to-
"H-He." Blaine stutters. He k-kicked me o-out." He manages to say before a new wave of sobbing hits him. I should have come down there sooner and put an end to it.
"Shh, its okay," It is not okay. And he knows that. I know that. But for now we can pretend that its going to be okay. I kiss his forehead and pull him back into my hug, feeling his every movement as he closes his eyes and sniffs again.
"I have only half an hour to pack my stuff, then he doesnt want to s-see me again." He whispers against my neck. I glance at the clock hanging above Blaines bed. We have 25 minutes.
"Dont worry, Ill help you and then youre gonna stay with me in my room." I say and nod so he feels me agreeing and knows that Im totally okay with that plan.
"K-Kurt," he says, slowly, pulls away and looks into my eyes. His cheeks are wet, eyes red-rimmed and terrified. "I c-cant do that." He says.
"Sure you can," I look at him firmly and gently grab his shoulders. "And you will. Im okay with it, really. Besides, where else you have to go to?" He looks around his room.
"Nowhere." He answers, looking down into his lap.
"See, nowhere." I take his hand into mine and he looks at me. "Youll stay with me."
"But-"
"No buts." I smile and squeeze his hand.
"What about your mom?" He asks.
"Dont worry about her." I say and we start packing his clothes and school stuff and other things. Im so glad we have a car in front of the house, we wouldnt be even able to take so many things.
Last teary glance at his room and were finally leaving. I take his hand and lead him down the stairs. Were almost in front of the main room, when suddenly a tall man crosses our way. Its Blaines dad.
He has his hands on his hips, looking at us. "Is this him?" He asks and looks at our entwined fingers. "Your boyfriend? The one you sleep with?!"
"I dont sleep with him dad!" Blaine snaps. He obviously has enough. "Come on Kurt, were leaving." He says, grabs my hand even more tightly and makes his way past his dad.
"Hey!" His dad says and grabs his arm. From the wince that Blaine makes I can tell that the grip is strong enough to leave another bruise. "Dont you dare shout at me, you faggot, I just disowned you but Im still the adult here." He hisses into his sons face.
"Strange that you dont act like one!" I say and quickly open the door, dragging Blaine with me and into my car. Luckily, his dad doesnt follow us, he just shuts the door loudly and then hes gone. Finally.
As soon as Im sitting inside, I start the car and drive home. Its going to be Blaines home too for the next couple days. Who knows, maybe even weeks. And if we dont break up and stay together, we might even live in the same house, or flat, or just room for a long time. That thought makes me happy.
Thats until I stop in front of my house and hear Blaine sobbing quietly. "Hey, you alright?" I ask gently and rub his shoulder.
"I dont know," He answers and takes a deep breath. "I hope I will be." He whispers and nods as if he was agreeing to something that he didnt say aloud.
"Dont worry, you will be," I assure him. "Now come on, lets go." I smile and lead him to our front door, with his bags already in our hands. When I open the door, I see mom passed out on the couch in front of the television as usual. Guess I was right then, at least she wont notice us. Not that she cares anyway. We turn the corner and I lead Blaine to the stairs. My mom snores loudly and mumbles something in her sleep. Blaine startles a little, but I assure him that its okay. Not even a World War Three would wake her up.
I close the door to my room when were inside and turn the lights on. Its not evening yet, but its getting dark outside. Blaine sits on the bed and covers his face with his palms, sighing loudly. I small sob escapes him and thats when I sit there next to him and give him a hug again. He wraps his arms around my back tightly and sniffs.
"He knows," He whispers. "About the kiss on Saturday in the coffee shop."
"Yeah, I figured that much," I say and hug him more tightly. "I just didnt know hed react like this." I lie him down on the bed and he puts his head on my torso, silently tracing small circles on my stomach. It feels a bit strange, no ones ever lain on me like that before, but its kinda nice.
"He completely ruined our moment, you know," Blaine suddenly whispers. "You said you love me."
I chuckle. "Thats because I do," I answer.
"And the blackmailing?" He asks, tensed again. I sigh.
"Im sorry, but you know that I cant stop that. I need it. And if we dont break up and you stay with me-"
"I want to stay with you."
"See? Then its for your own good too. Youd come with me and you can even try to get into the same college! Well live together." I say. "Happily ever after." I start playing with his hair. I know he doesnt really like that because hed have to use the hair gel again, but it seems he doesnt mind it know. Instead, he leans into the touch and sighs.
"I cant wait for that," he smiles a bit and yawns.
"Uh uh, someones sleepy," I laugh and kiss his forehead.
"I dont want to move," he admits. "too tired." He mumbles against my neck and snuggles closer.
"Me neither, but we need to change, we cant sleep like this." I say, but I dont really want to move either.
"Sure we can, its not even evening yet, well wake up and do homework later. Just… just not now, please." He says. "I just want to forget him for a while." He adds, his voice barely a whisper. And I cant say no to that.
"Okay," I smile and lift his chin to kiss him on the lips. God theyre so soft and just incredible. "I love you, Blaine," I whisper as I pull away, looking deep into his brown eyes.
He smiles. "I love you too, Kurt."
With that I pull the covers over us and snuggle closer to my boyfriend, closing my eyes. Its been such a nice day, with all the Clovergate success and now suddenly this happens. I hope Blaines going to be alright or at least a bit better after he wakes up.
And that my mom lets him stay here.
