Kurt heard a soft knock on the door. He must have fallen asleep because his head felt light. He rubbed his eyes and sat up. Mrs. Anderson was standing a couple feet from the bed.
"Hi, Kurt, I'm sorry to wake you, but I thought Blaine would be here. I can't find him anywhere." Kurt remembered he and Blaine had plans with her that afternoon, she must have been waiting for them.
"Hi, no actually I haven't seen him. I thought he would be with you, Mrs. Anderson." He started to worry.
"No formality's necessary, you can just call me Katherine. And I should have just called him. But since his car is still here, I just thought..." She looked a little worried but Kurt noticed something else and he couldn't define what it was.
"I texted him earlier, I'll see if he answered." Kurt looked around for his phone and finally found him somewhere between the bed sheets.
He had a missed call and one new voice message. When he recognized Blaine's number he listened to the voicemail and putted it on speaker, so Katherine could listen in.
"Hi... Kurt?... I'm sorry, I'll be there soon, I was just...talking to my dad. He has really crossed the line this time. But I'll soon be there and then we can go do something fun with my mother. I still don't get why she didn't already divorce him...I really can't take...him anymore. Anyway, I'm almost there and...."
Kurt could hear the phone falling on the ground and a muffled sound of a scream of surprise. He could hear a fight going on and then the phone cracked and all connection was broken.
Kurt quickly ended the conversation with his voicemail and looked up at Blaine's mother. Her eyes were big and she seemed lost in thought for a moment. She sat on the edge of the bed and Kurt, not really knowing what to do, hugged her. He felt tears coming up but swallowed them.
He was not going to cry. He had to find Blaine. He left in a hurry and left Mrs. Anderson in her son's room.
Kurt was going to investigate. He had taken his phone with him so he wouldn't get lost.
An hour had passed and Kurt still hadn't managed to find anything that could lead to Blaine. Maybe he should go check on Blaine's mother, see if she was okay. He just searched the whole upper floor and started to know his way around, and was going to the stairs to look around downstairs when he saw the door to Blaine's father's office.
He probably should have ignored it but he couldn't. Maybe Mr. Anderson had something to do with Blaine's, yet to be determined, disappearance.
When he reached the door, it went open and Blaine's father came out.
"What are you doing?" He looked furious and Kurt took a few steps back.
"No..nothing." He stuttered.
He took another step back and felt something crack under his foot. When he looked at it, his heartbeat raised, because there it was, Blaine's phone. This must have been where he was when they attacked him. Kurt didn't know who they were but he had a strong feeling the man standing in front of him had something to do with it.
Mr. Anderson was looking at him in confusion but Kurt could see it was only a cover. Beneath it there was only hate and some sort of danger.
"What's that?" He said pointing at the phone.
"It's Blaine's." He honestly answered while he picked it up from the floor. Kurt tried to make it work again but he failed. It was totally ruined. Blaine's father, the person responsible to Kurt's guessing, took a step closer and grabbed the phone out of his hands.
"This is none of your business." He looked around if there were witnesses around them, but they were all alone and it scared Kurt, a lot.
"If you're smart, you leave now, never come back or think of Blaine again." He turned around and started to walk back into the office.
It was now or never. "I'm sorry mister, but I can't do that. I love your son and I'm going to do everything I can so I can get him back. I know you know where he is and I'm not letting you take him away from me." Kurt didn't show him how terrified he actually was.
Mr. Anderson turned around slowly and he looked like he could kill, right then and there. Kurt made a mental note, if he ever saw Blaine again, he would ask him if his father had ever killed anyone before. Kurt didn't back down and looked him right in the eyes, he moved closer and Kurt was about to raise his hands in defense as he heard a soft woman's voice echoing through the hall.
"No need for fighting, Jonathan. Kurt are you okay? You should go downstairs, I'll be right there." Apparently she heard everything. Kurt took the stairs but stopped when he was out of sight. He could hear them whispering from where he had collapsed.
"What are you thinking? Taking my son away because you don't like the way he is? How about talking with me first? And Kurt, you can't just threaten someone. You make sure Blaine is back for dinner tonight! I'm so sick of this John." She started to scream at her husband.
"Katherine, you know it's for the best. He'll be normal, and if I have to force him to get there, I will." He tried to calm her down.
"You can't go deciding someone's future. He stands up to you once and you kidnap him? What kind of father are you? I really can't stand you anymore. Make sure he's back here in no time, got it? This is the last time you take him away. I'm really done with you this time."
Kurt could hear a smack of a hand on someone's face, a door closing and then everything went quit.
After a few seconds the clicking of heals could be heard. It approached Kurt and he should have moved but he couldn't, not after what he just heard. Katherine reached out her hand and dragged him downstairs.
"You heard that, didn't you? Kurt nodded.
"Well, then you know what's happening. Don't worry, Blaine will be back. I already expected something like this to happen. Let that not ruin our day. We're going to go dining and we're going to make the best out of it. There will be enough sad time for later." She put on a fake smile and grabbed her coat. She gestured for Kurt to do the same.
"We'll go eat somewhere Italian, okay? I'll explain all of it." Kurt could only nod. The last thing he needed right now was food, but she insisted and Kurt could not really deny it.
The car ride was uncomfortable but Kurt didn't care, all he could think about was Blaine. He needed him. They stopped at a little restaurant and got out. Mrs. Anderson talked to the waiter, let him know who she was, and they were directed to a table for two. Kurt awkwardly picked up the menu and just ordered something healthy. Blaine's mother ordered the same. She gave him a friendly smile.
"I'll explain." She simply said.
"Since Blaine's quit sure about you I think I can trust you with this." She said and Kurt nodded.
"Okay, so, Blaine's father and I met years ago. He was wealthy and I was, well broke. In the mean time I've made career, but back then, I was a whole different person. He liked me and he was my best option, so we got married. His 'businesses' weren't very clean, but that didn't bother me then. First we got Cooper and everything was fine until a couple years later and he wanted another child. I didn't but he wanted a good reputation, not that I don't love Blaine, because I do, sometimes even more than Cooper." She took a sip of her glass water.
"Anyway, his father was never there for him and they grew up pretty fast. One day Blaine said to me that he liked boys. I encouraged him to be whoever he wanted to be, but his father had other plans. That's when it all started, Cooper just had moved out, and his father decided that if Blaine got his hands dirty he would become a 'real man'. I fooled myself in thinking it would all be okay, that once his father realized Blaine wasn't going to change, he would accept it. So first the car fix, the next thing he tried was taking Blaine to one of his 'meetings'. I tried to stop him but he wouldn't let me. I remember, when they came back, Blaine had been shocked and didn't talk to me for a week. After that it just got worse. Now it finally has come to this point." Kurt could see tears in her eyes and reached over the table to take her hand. He had sympathy for her.
"I don't know what to say." She nodded and spoke again.
"You don't have to say anything, Kurt. You must be freaked out, right? What kind of family are we." Kurt didn't think that at all, he understood there were issues but never realized how serious they were.
"I'm just so sorry, I wish I could do anything" He gave her a watery smile.
"There's nothing you can do." She gave him a smile in return.
"All you can do is trying to understand. But I want to just forget everything for a while and enjoy this dinner. If we're done eating, we're going back home, hopefully to find Blaine there. Now tell me something about you." Kurt told her about his family and time flew.
Kurt tried to block out all the emotions he felt for a while and allowed himself to laugh at some stories. And soon it was time for them to get home.
When they arrived at the mansion, Blaine came running out. Kurt held his arms open and didn't release him for some time. His mother had hugged her son and then excused herself, she was going to talk to her husband.
Kurt couldn't let go of his boyfriend, they ended up on Blaine's bed. They were snuggled in each other's arms as Blaine finally talked.
