Sebastian Smythe stood in the entrance of the McKinley choir room, his eyes fixed on me. I just stared back at him, feeling shocked at the fact he was standing there. I couldn't help but feel happy to see that he had a black eye from where I had punched him in the face and a swollen lip from where I had bitten him. He had deserved both of those and he had definitely deserved being kneed in the privates. I couldn't believe that Sebastian had come here to speak to me. Was he really that much of an idiot in thinking that no one in this room would know what he had done? I internally cringed as I knew that Sebastian being here meant that everyone in the Glee club would know what had happened between us. Blaine, Finn and Santana wouldn't let this opportunity of giving Sebastian a piece of their mind slip through their fingers. I knew one thing: shit was going down.
I watched as Sebastian hung up and pocketed his phone, "Kurt I was so worried about you. You haven't answered your phone and I needed to see if you were okay."
Suddenly it clicked in my head, "Your number is the unknown number on my phone. I didn't think of that."
"Shit! If I had checked the number with you earlier, we would have realised it was this bastard and he wouldn't be here now," Blaine growled, cursing under his breath.
"Oh Killer I'm touched to see you've kept my number," Sebastian said, smirking at Blaine, "I deleted yours from my contacts a long time ago as I had absolutely no need for it."
I saw Blaine glaring at Sebastian, full of hatred for the boy who had attacked me. I placed my hand on Blaine's arm to calm him down and glared at Sebastian myself.
"What do you think you're doing?" I demanded, frowning at the Warbler in front of me, "Why are you here?"
Sebastian looked at me with a sheepish expression, "You wouldn't answer my calls. I was really worried about you and I had to see if you were okay. I decided to come down to this atrocity of a public school and check if you were actually in today. I briefly stopped by yesterday but there was no sign of you, plus your hobbit of an ex-boyfriend looked down in the dumps."
"Boyfriend!" Blaine interrupted, looking like he was going to punch Sebastian, "Kurt is my boyfriend, you pathetic lowlife!"
"Oh sorry, the last I recall is that you dumped Kurt like he was nothing to you!" Sebastian gloated, trying to wind Blaine up.
"You know nothing Sebastian!" Blaine shouted, jumping to his feet and clenching his fists in anger.
Santana stood up the other side of me, "Right Little Bitchlet I am about to go all Lima Heights on your ass!"
Finn stood up as well, "Leave Kurt and Blaine alone! You're a bastard for what you did!"
"What is going on?" Rachel demanded, her eyes flittering between Blaine and Sebastian.
"Whoa everyone just stop!" Mr Schue instructed, walking over to Sebastian, "Can I ask why you are here Sebastian?"
"I'm here to see Kurt," Sebastian said, his eyes locking with mine, "I just need to talk to him."
"Kurt?" Mr Schue turned to look at me, his eyes full of concern.
I let out a sigh, wishing that all of this wasn't happening and I was still in bed with Blaine. I didn't really want to do this right now but I knew I had no choice. I had been saying to both Blaine and Finn that I had wanted to talk to the offender before either of them did anything. I wanted closure and to find out what on earth was going on inside Sebastian's head from the moment he confessed his feelings for me to the moment I had run away from him. I had to do this for myself.
"I'll talk to him," I said, still looking at Sebastian.
Immediately there was uproar from Blaine, Finn and Santana. The others in the room was watching us with confused and curious expressions, wondering what on earth was going on.
I turned to face the three angry people looking at me, "Blaine and Finn, I told you I wanted to do this. Santana I appreciate your concern but I want to talk to him."
"I'm not letting you be on your own with him!" Blaine cried, looking between me and Sebastian, "I'm coming with you when you go and talk."
"Me too!" Finn and Santana both stated, glaring at Sebastian.
I let out a groan, "I wasn't planning on going anywhere as I'm not exactly in the best state for it."
I slowly stood up, letting out a few winces, before slowly making my way over to Sebastian. It was strange to see Sebastian look pained as he watched me walk over to him. It seemed as he regretted the fact that he had hurt me so much.
I stood in front of Sebastian and put my hands on my hips, "Well, I'm waiting."
Sebastian looked at the New Directions before looking back at me, "Are you sure you want to talk here?"
I glared at the Warbler, "It took a lot of effort to stand up and walk over to you. I'm in no position to go anywhere else."
"Well I thought we'd talk in private," Sebastian protested, glancing at the others in the room.
I turned to look at my teacher, "Mr Schue I'm sorry to do this but please could we have some privacy?"
Mr Schue nodded, "Of course Kurt. We'll head to the auditorium and practice for Nationals there. When you let us know, we'll come back and resume practice here. Just give someone a call."
I watched as Mr Schue told everyone the plans for what was happening next. I saw everyone whispering amongst themselves as they packed up their belongings. Blaine, Finn and Santana were just standing there, watching Sebastian's every move. I knew they were reluctant to leave me alone in the choir room with the boy who had attacked me.
"I'm staying Kurt!" Blaine stated, his eyes flickering between Sebastian and I, "There's no way in hell that I'm leaving him alone with you after what he did to you!"
"Did Sebastian hurt Kurt?" I heard Rachel demand, "Mr Schue I am not letting him be alone with Kurt if he did this to him."
"I never normally agree with Berry over there but this time I do!" Santana exclaimed, crossing her hands as she glared at Sebastian, "I'm not leaving my boy Hummel here alone with Andrew McCarthy here."
"Kurt I'm sorry but after hearing that I don't feel entirely comfortable leaving you alone with Sebastian," Mr Schue said, sounding apologetic, "Look how about you two go into my office and talk. That way we can see you but you can have a private conversation."
I rolled my eyes at how easily my teacher gave in. He could have easily demanded that they all go to the auditorium but I knew Mr Schue loved gossip as well and normally sat back and let it happen before finally intervening.
I turned to look at Blaine and pleaded, "Please can you stay in here while I go to the office? If I need you, I'll signal to you but please let me do this?"
Blaine let out a reluctant sigh, "Fine I'll do this for you baby but if you need me at all, I'll be there straight away."
I nodded at my boyfriend, giving him a reassuring smile as he leaned in to kiss my cheek, his eyes trained on Sebastian. I gave Finn and Santana a look that told them to stay in the choir room as well. I started walking towards the office and gestured for Sebastian to follow me. I opened the door and entered the room, watching as Sebastian came in and shut the door behind him.
"Okay why are you here?" I demanded, needing answers from this boy, "Where did you come to the school? Surely you must realise that people in that room know what happened between us and basically want your head?""
Sebastian nodded slowly, "I realise that, especially now after seeing how the Hobbit, Sha-Queer-A and Finnessa reacted to my presence around you. Look I came here because I was worried about you. I don't know where you live and I couldn't get hold of you. All I knew about you was that you would eventually be back at McKinley so I thought I'd check it out. I thought I saw you in here and decided to try ringing you again. When you answered, I also heard your voice coming from the choir room. I don't know why but I had to also see you, despite the fact you were in a room with your friends and your reinstated boyfriend. I had to see that you were okay as the last thing I saw before you disappeared out of my sight was you nearly getting hit by a car in the Scandals parking lot. I had to see you in person."
I didn't know what to say to that. I didn't know what to say to Sebastian in general. I had told Blaine and the others that I wanted to speak to Sebastian but I never planned on what I would say to the Warbler when we were face to face.
Sebastian seemed to realise I didn't know what to say, "Look Kurt I just need to apologise to you. I was drunk and I was an idiot for forcing myself on you. I am really sorry."
I let out a scoff, "You say you're sorry but what you did deserves a lot more than a mere apology. You forced yourself on me, gave me several injuries including needing stitches and I don't think you would have stopped if I hadn't bitten your hand, punched you and kneed you in the balls. Plus being drunk isn't an excuse. You weren't that drunk and I had had near enough the same amount of drinks as you."
"Look I don't really have any excuse for my behaviour," Sebastian stated, looking at the ground, "I think it was a mix of my feelings for you and the alcohol that just made me think it was a good idea to confess all and throw myself at you. I convinced myself you wanted me back."
I just rolled my eyes at Sebastian's words, "That's the worst excuse I've ever heard! You're saying that you convinced yourself that I wanted you back, even when you knew I was fighting back against you and telling you to stop? I know you're saying that you were drunk but you would have realised that I wasn't into what you were doing to me! Sebastian I don't understand how you went from declaring your love, which I still can't believe, to basically attacking me and trying to get into my pants!"
Sebastian's eyes widened at my last sentence, "You don't think I was going to rape you, do you?"
"I don't know what I believe," I said, not meeting Sebastian's eyes, "All I know is that you had pinned me down and you tried to undo the buttons and zip on my jeans. That's what I tripled my efforts and really fought back against you. I hope to whatever's out there that you weren't planning on trying to have sex with me in an alleyway next to Scandals, even though it seemed like you were!"
The boy in front of me was frantically his head, "Kurt I... I would never have done that... especially to you! I'm not that guy! Yes I've hooked up with loads of guys before but I would never have had sex with someone without their consent. I could never have done it. I'm still incredibly sorry I tried to open your pants but you have to believe me when I say that I would never have... raped you Kurt! I know it may be hard for you to believe since I've severely injured you but I would never have hurt you like that, I swear!"
I couldn't help but believe that he was telling the truth but that still didn't excuse what had happened. In a weird way, I was still grateful that Sebastian had found me as he did help me out. It was just a shame that when my opinion of him was starting to slowly change, he went and pulled an act where I ended up with stitches and bruised ribs. I couldn't help but wonder what would have happened if Sebastian hadn't thrown himself at me. What if 'Teenage Dream' hadn't come on? Would I have continued to dance with Sebastian and maybe if he had made a move then, would I have kissed him back? It was weird how life worked but I knew my place in life. Blaine was my soul mate and we were meant to be. Sebastian Smythe was just a couple of bumps in the road but he wouldn't stop my true path in life. It did suck that the boy I called meerkat claimed to be in love with me as I never wanted to break anyone's heart. I had had a similar experience with David Karofsky who claimed he loved me. I had never wanted that and I hated that I had to hurt him when I let him down. I quickly realised my mind was wondering and pondered if I was still slightly concussed. I focused my attention on the Warbler in front of me who looked like he was stressing himself out.
"For some reason that I don't actually understand, I believe you when you say you wouldn't have done that to me," I said, noting that Sebastian immediately relaxed, "Well I hope that's the case anyway. It still doesn't excuse what happened Sebastian. You attacked me! You wouldn't stop and I had to fight to get away from you. What on earth was going on in your head?"
Sebastian sighed and shrugged his shoulders, "I'm not entirely sure. You were standing in the alley after you had run out, looking so broken and vulnerable. When I heard you say something about Blaine not loving you anymore, I had to get in there and tell you how I felt, just in case there was any chance that you had feelings for me. I would have hated myself if I had missed the opportunity to tell you how I felt. I wanted you to know that I love you."
I quickly interrupted the Warbler's rambling, "Sebastian, look I'm... um flattered and I don't mean to be demeaning but you don't love me. The only time we ever really talked was only to exchange insults about the other. If you'd said you had feelings for me, that I might have understood but love? I had David Karofsky tell me that he thought he loved me on Valentine's Day. He didn't really love me and he just built it up in mind. I think the same thing has happened here."
"Kurt just let me explain," Sebastian said as he reached out to grab my hand but thought better of it, especially since I flinched away from him, "I do love you. I've had feelings for you since the moment I met you but I didn't understand them. Surely that was the same with you and Blaine. He didn't realise his feelings for you until later on. He just thought he only had friendly feelings for you until he realised otherwise. That's the same with me. I thought it was feelings of dislike until they ventured into so much more."
"Do not compare this to mine and Blaine's relationship!" I cried as I gestured between Sebastian and I, "You told me your feelings then forced yourself on me. Blaine would never do that and he would never hurt me like that."
Sebastian laughed out loud at my last comment, "Blaine wouldn't hurt you!? Oh please that's the funniest thing I've ever heard! It's complete crap! Blaine did hurt you Kurt! He hurt you worse than me! He may have not hurt you physically but he broke your heart. Yes he apologised and you're back together but there will always be that crack in your heart thanks to Blaine Anderson. You will always be that slightly bit more insecure when it comes to planning a future with the boy you love. You'll go off to New York, remembering that he broke up with you because he didn't think that long distance would work."
I turned to look through the window into the choir room and immediately met Blaine's eyes. He had obviously been watching every move Sebastian and I had made. I gave him a half-hearted smile and Blaine slowly returned one, the concern etched onto his face. I continued looking at my boyfriend as I thought about what Sebastian had just said to me. He was right. It was like he was reading my mind and had found my darkest thoughts, even though I had tried to keep them hidden after Blaine and I had worked things out. Blaine had promised me that long distance would work for us and we would both make the effort. We had both promised that before the events of that dreadful day. Was I being stupid by presuming that Blaine and I would work? Sebastian had brought out all my insecurities about my relationship.
Sebastian continued his little speech, "You know I'm right Kurt. Your boyfriend has hurt you over and over again. I saw what happened at Scandals when the three of us went together. Your boyfriend spent the night dancing with me and didn't care that he was hurting you. When I went outside a while later to get a bit of fresh air, I saw you pushing Blaine off you and then the two of you had an argument before Blaine stormed off. I remember the look on your face. You looked so hurt and heartbroken. I'm sure Blaine has caused that look on your face several times. I've heard all about what happened at Dalton with the whole 'Gap Attack' incident and the whole 'bisexual incident'. Blaine has hurt you over and over again."
"Please just stop!" I whispered, every incident flashing through my mind and remembering how they made me feel.
Sebastian ignored me, "The truth is that I may have hurt you physically but Blaine's basically destroyed you emotionally. I don't know what will happen to you if Blaine ever does anything like cheat on you when you're in New York!"
"Just shut up!" I screamed, unable to take it anymore, "Just shut the hell up!"
I couldn't stand there and listen to it anymore. I just wanted to get away from the stupid meerkat boy and fall into Blaine's arms and let his reassuring words comfort me. I could feel the tears already prickling at the corners of my eyes. I could feel all the hurt flooding through and I just needed it to stop. I had to stop it before all the pain and hurt consumed me.
"Kurt?" Sebastian said quietly, sounding concerned.
"You know nothing Sebastian, nothing!" I yelled, trying to control my own emotions.
I made to hobble past Sebastian and leave the room but Sebastian blocked my path and grabbed my arm, pulling me to him.
"Don't leave Kurt, we still need to talk," Sebastian said, his face close to mine.
Suddenly the door to Mr Schue's office burst open and there stood Blaine, with Finn and Santana on his tail. Blaine marched over to us and grabbed Sebastian's hand and yanked it off my arm. He pulled me to him and wrapped his arm around my waist. I watched as Finn grabbed a hold of Sebastian and basically threw him into the choir room. The Warbler stumbled into the room but managed to stay up on his feet. Finn was there a second later, grabbing Sebastian's Dalton blazer and leaning in so he was basically nose to nose with the boy.
"What the hell did you do in there?" Finn shouted as he shook Sebastian.
"Finn! Just let him go, he's not worth it," I called out as Blaine and I returned to the choir room.
Santana looked at me as if I had gone insane, "Are you serious Kurt? That boy basically violated you! He deserves to have Lumps to Clown kick his ass!"
Puck jumped up at that, "Hold it! Sebastian hurt my boy!? That's it! I'm unleashing Puckzilla on you!"
Brittany was glaring angrily at the Warbler, "You hurt my Dolphin!? You're an evil dolphin! Lord Tubbington is judging you and he does a lot of bad things!"
"Oh hell to the no!" Mercedes was yelling as Sam was cracking his knuckles, "You did not hurt my boy! How dare you do something like that to him!?"
Sebastian just smirked at the New Directions, "You won't touch me. My father is a state attorney so none of you are brave enough to harm a state attorney's son when you know how much trouble you will be in."
"This is bogus!" Puck yelled as he turned to the teacher in the room, "Mr Schue, can't you do something? This creep hurt Kurt. We defend our own!"
Mr Schue sighed, "I'm sorry Puck but I can't. It didn't take place at school plus it'll be Kurt's word against Sebastian's."
"That's complete rubbish Mr Schue!" Quinn called out, standing up and putting her hands on her hips, "You're the teacher here and it's your job to make sure your students are safe and to look after their wellbeing. This boy hurt Kurt and you're just letting him stand in our school and threaten us with his father."
Artie rolled forward slightly, "It's true Mr Schue. You love the drama too much and refrain from doing anything. It's like the whole thing with 'Michael' week. We had evidence that this bastard slushied Blaine but you just wanted us to be the bigger man and just move on. Sometimes you need to fight back and this is one of those times!"
"Guys I appreciate your efforts but it's no use," I said as I smiled sadly at my friends.
I knew that Mr Schue wouldn't do anything even after he had been called out on it. I was just glad that my friends could see how weak our teacher was being.
I turned to look at the Warbler in the room, "Sebastian, just leave. I'm done talking to you and I just want to forget this ever happened."
Sebastian determinedly shook his head, "Kurt I'm not leaving. I need you to understand that I do love you and I'd do anything for you."
There was a collective gasp around the room at Sebastian's words. I closed my eyes and squeezed them shut, wishing I was anywhere but there.
"You love him!? You love Kurt!? You love my boyfriend!?" Blaine yelled, pulling a little bit closer to him.
Sebastian looked Blaine straight in the eye, "I do. I didn't mean for it to happen and the feelings have being growing ever so slowly but I know what love is. I love the boy you're holding in your arms. I never meant to hurt him like this. I know the foundation of the relationship is extremely bizarre given that I frequently insulted him and tried to throw a slushy with rock salt in at him. I don't know when or how it happened but suddenly I found myself heads over heels in love with one Kurt Hummel."
"How can you say that when you've hurt him as badly as you have!?" Blaine cried out, holding me tighter against him, "You pinned him down to the ground and attacked him!"
There was another collective gasp around the room and I caught sight of Finn, Puck, Santana and the others looking horrified but also looked like they were ready to punch Sebastian's lights out.
"What!?" Rachel yelled, "Is this true? You are a horrible person Sebastian Smythe! I have two gay dads who would be ashamed of you!"
Sebastian ignored Rachel and just continued to smirk at Blaine. This unnerved me greatly as I could guess what Sebastian was about to say to my boyfriend.
"It's like what I told Kurt in the teacher's office... I may have hurt him physically and I deeply regret that. What I did will always haunt me. However you, Blaine Anderson, have hurt Kurt time and time again. In fact everyone in this room has hurt Kurt! You've basically all destroyed him emotionally," Sebastian trailed off, his eyes gleaming.
I froze at his words, not knowing what to do.
"You all let Kurt deal with the bullies on his own. You're all supposed to be his friends but you closed your eyes to the shit he was dealing with. You all knew something was happening but didn't bother to help. You're probably wondering," Sebastian explained, looking intently at every person in the room before looking at Blaine, "You Blaine have hurt Kurt over and over again. I've been told all about the 'Gap Attack', the kiss with Barbara Streisand over there and I saw what happened outside Scandals the last time with the argument and you storming off. You also recently broke Kurt's heart! You dumped him like he was nothing to you! You two might be back together but his heart will always have that little crack in it thanks to you so don't act so high and mighty!"
I glanced at Blaine to gauge his reaction and he looked so angry, he could have had smoke coming out of his ears. Suddenly Blaine let go of me and basically charged at Sebastian. The Warbler jumped back and I grabbed hold of Blaine's arm to pull him back. Mike was there as well to pull Blaine back and give me a hand. I smiled gratefully at him and Mike returned with a sympathetic smile.
"How dare you!?" Blaine shouted as he attempted to get free, "You are a fucking bastard Smythe!"
Sebastian actually cackled at that, "Oh Killer, how you make me laugh. How can you think you're better than me when you broke the one you love's heart? You're no better than me. And just remember, I was there to pick up the pieces! Kurt and I had a good time in Scandals and who knows what could have happened if that damn Katy Perry song hadn't come on!?"
Blaine practically let out a scream as he tried once again to charge at Sebastian. Sam was now up on his feet, helping to hold Blaine back as well. I took a step back, not wanting to get hurt in the process. Sebastian was just smirking at Blaine's reactions.
Sebastian just kept antagonising my boyfriend, "I bet it kills you to think that maybe something could have happened between Kurt and I. Even though I went about it the wrong way, I still got to kiss those soft, full gorgeous lips of his and give that magnificent arse a squeeze. I got to run my hands all over his body and feel how soft his skin is."
"I swear to God Sebastian I will kill you!" Blaine shouted as he fought against his friends' tight grip.
I had had enough of this. I just wanted everything to end. All the New Directions were yelling at Sebastian while Mr Schue was just standing there, looking shocked. I just shook my head at him and decided I had to end this.
I walked slowly over to Sebastian and stood right in front of him. The room went silence with everyone anticipating what I was about to do.
"Just leave Sebastian," I said tiredly, feeling a headache coming on from all the drama.
Sebastian frowned at me, "But... but we still haven't properly talked!"
I let out a dejected sigh, "I don't care. I don't give a shit about anything anymore. All I know is that you're an arsehole and a bastard Sebastian Smythe. I don't care that you claim to love me and I'm sorry if that hurts but you've hurt me enough. I just want you to go and leave me goddamn alone! I don't get why you're here still but I just want you to go!"
"I told you why I'm here!" Sebastian argued back, his eyes wide, "I was worried about you and the last thing I saw was you narrowly avoiding being hit by a car! I needed to see you!"
"Look I don't care. Please just go back to Dalton! You've done enough damage to last me a life time," I said, just wanting him to go and leave me alone, "You've come here claiming you need to talk and explain everything but you haven't really. You've just made me feel shit about myself and offended everyone in this room, as well as threatening them with your father. Just go back to Dalton or go to Scandals and find some warm body. I just want you to leave me alone."
Sebastian once grabbed my arm, locking a tight grip on it, "I don't think so."
Before anyone could move, I pulled my right arm back and punched Sebastian straight in the nose. I thought I heard a crack but I wasn't sure if it was my hand or Sebastian's nose. My hand was throbbing as I pulled away but it looked like the crack had been Sebastian's nose as blood was starting to trickle out of it.
"Kurt!" Mr Schue exclaimed, looking shocked, "You can't do that!"
"Are you actually kidding me!?" I turned to my teacher, feeling exasperated, "Jesus Christ Mr Schue! You need to get your priorities sorted out! You let him stay because you wanted to watch the drama unfold but you did nothing to help. It's like all the times you walked by the dumpsters, fully knowing that the jocks were about to throw me in them, but you turned a blind eye!"
I turned back to Sebastian, "Sebastian, I'm not going to ask you again. Please just go!"
Sebastian stared at me for a moment before letting out a sigh, "Okay Kurt, I'll go. I'm sorry for everything. And I promise you I won't tell my father that you broke my nose."
I rolled my eyes at that, "Goodbye Sebastian."
Sebastian nodded, "Goodbye Kurt."
He reached out and patted my arm before he slowly walked out of the choir room, clutching his nose. I could feel everyone staring at me and I just let my shoulders sag.
I suddenly felt a hand in mine, "Kurt? Sweetie?"
I turned to Blaine and tried to smile, "Hey."
"How's the hand?" Blaine brought it up to his lips as he placed a kiss to it, "That was one hell of a punch."
"Well he had it coming," I said with a small smile, "But yeah the hand hurts."
Blaine placed another kiss to it, "Are you okay baby?"
I let out a sigh, "I know the day's just begun but I think I'm going to go home."
Blaine frowned at me, "What?"
"My hand is throbbing, my ribs are aching and I have a raging headache from all this crap," I explained, sounding completely monotone, "I just need to go home. I've had enough."
I looked at my fellow Glee clubbers, "I'm sorry for the drama, guys. I'll see you tomorrow."
"Kurt?" Quinn was looking at me, concern shining in her eyes.
"I've got to go," I said quietly before looking at my teacher, "I'm not feeling well."
Mr Schue nodded, "I'm sorry Kurt. I hope you feel better."
I nodded as I didn't know how to dignify him with a response. I turned around and started slowly walking out of the choir room, one hand wrapped around my ribs. I suddenly felt a hand placed on my back as I exited the room. I turned to see it was my boyfriend smiling sadly at me, tears evidently in his eyes.
"I drove you here this morning sweetie. You need a ride," Blaine explained as he directed me down the corridor, "Plus I think we need to talk about everything that's gone on."
"I agree," I replied, knowing that the talk wouldn't be pretty and could affect our relationship. Unfortunately it was something that had to happen.
