"Is he sleeping?" I heard someone yell as if their mouth was right next to my ear.

I groaned and went to roll over before remembering I was on the sofa and would just fall on the floor and make a fool out of myself, plus I would aggravate my injuries even more than before.

I blinked a couple of times and eventually opened my eyes. Finn was standing over me with a nervous look on his face.

When he saw my eyes were open he grinned at me, "Oh you're not asleep."

I gave Finn my famous bitch glare, "I was sleeping and your yelling woke me up."

Finn had the decency to look apologetic, "I'm sorry dude. I wasn't sure as I couldn't see your face."

I let out a groan, "It's okay Finn. Just don't yell next time."

"No problem dude. Oh sorry you don't like me calling you dude. No problem Kurt," Finn said, smiling at me.

I smiled back at Finn before glancing at the television. The title menu of 'Moulin Rouge' was still on the screen, indicating that the film had played but I had missed it as I had fallen asleep.

"Whoa man I can't believe your face!"

"You're making it sound worse than it is!" I cried, feeling insecure about my looks. I knew it was bad but the way Finn was talking was as if my face had changed while I was sleeping.

"It looks slightly different to earlier Kurt," Finn said sheepishly, "I didn't mean to upset you."

I was puzzled by what he had meant, "What do you mean I look slightly different? Finn?"

Finn nervously rubbed at the back of his neck, "Some bruising is more noticeable but nothing else I swear! I think it was just the shock of seeing you again after you came to the choir room earlier when we were all panicking and wondering what to do."

I reached out and squeezed Finn's hand, "I'm sorry I made you all worried. That wasn't my intention I swear."

"Relax dude, sorry Kurt, I understand why you ran away. You were upset and not very well. You had had such a crappy day and we had all seen you sing that Kelly Clarkson song in the auditorium. You sounded really good. You totally need more solos!" Finn exclaimed, smiling broadly at me.

"I finally hear that just before we graduate," I said sadly before composing myself, "Thanks Finn. That means a lot."

"No sweat dude... crap!" Finn seemed annoyed at himself.

I sighed, "Finn I'll let you off for calling me dude. I know you're trying but just don't use it constantly."

Finn grinned at me, "Thanks Kurt. So how you feeling?"

I thought for a moment before responding, "Feeling okay at the moment. Actually I'm in quite a bit of pain. How long have I been sleeping?"

Finn shrugged, "I don't know, I just got home from school. I'll go and get my Mum or your Dad."

I watched as Finn left the living room. I laid my head back against the arm of the sofa, confused as to why I could feel a hard object by the back of my head. It soon dawned on me that it was the ice pack Carole had put there. I lifted the blanket up to find I still had one resting on my bruised ribs. I reached down and felt it. It wasn't that cold anymore; I definitely needed a new one. The Doctor had said they would help reduce the swelling and bruising.

Carole came into the room, followed by son, and she smiled at the sight of me awake, "Hello sweetheart, how are you feeling?"

I smiled softly back at my stepmother, "It's starting to hurt."

Carole looked at me in concern, "Where does it hurt sweetie? Does your head hurt?"

I shook my head, "I only have a slight headache. My ribs are really aching and my neck hurts."

Carole whispered something to Finn and he quickly left the room. She walked over to the sofa and kneeled by my side.

Carole ran her hand through my hair, "Finn's gone to get you some painkillers and more icepacks. They'll do wonders for you sweetie. I know it's really painful but you've been so strong Kurt."

"How long have I been asleep?" I wondered out loud, knowing it was over four hours if I could have more painkillers.

Carole smiled gently at me, "You've been asleep for about five or six hours. You were out like a light right at the beginning of 'Moulin Rouge'. To be honest I wasn't surprised though. You needed your rest."

Finn returned at that moment with a glass of water, two pills and some icepacks, "Here you are little brother. This will make you feel better."

I took the water from him, trying not to move my ribs too much, and swallowed the pills before washing them away with the liquid. I drank some more water before Carole took the glass off me. She removed the current ice packs and replaced them with the new ones. I shivered as they touched my skin due to their temperature.

Carole smiled at me when she caught me shiver, "This will help you Kurt. I know it's cold but it's just something you have to adapt to."

"It's okay," I replied, trying to focus on anything but the freezing cold ice packs, "Where's Dad?"

"Your Dad had to return to the garage but he should be home any minute. Dinner's nearly ready and I've done you some soup,"

It was weird to think that it had only been twenty four hours since I had run out of the house after my Dad had yelled and sworn at me. It felt like a lifetime had passed by.

"That sounds good Carole. Thank you," I said, grateful for everything my Dad's wife was doing.

Carole smiled at me and stood up, before pressing play on the television remote. 'Moulin Rouge' started to play.

"Thought you'd actually like to watch it this time," Carole chuckled, shaking her head fondly, "If you do start developing a headache call for me or switch off the TV okay?"

I nodded and Carole went back to the kitchen. I turned my attention to Ewan McGregor sporting a beard and typing his story. His depression over the loss of Satine was heart-breaking. I had always loved this film as I knew Blaine was the Christian to my Satine but now watching it since being dumped, it is a film about a man remembering his lost love and not knowing how to cope. At the beginning it had been a year since Christian had lost the love of his life.

"Penny for your thoughts son?" My Dad's voice interrupted my train of depressing thoughts.

He sat on the edge of the sofa and smiled at me. I smiled back at my Dad, happy everything was okay between us again. I couldn't bear it if I lost my Dad.

"I was just thinking that, while I used to view this film as a great romantic love story, it's really just a film thinking about the love he lost and how he's not able to move on," I explained, wishing that I hadn't lost my love.

Dad frowned at me, "Kurt... I know you're upset about what happened with Blaine and all but think about it! Yes in this film that actor guy has lost the woman he loved and is suffering because of it. He still loved a great romantic love story. Even though he lost her, he still shared a love story with her. It's like me and your Mum. I've lost your mother but that doesn't mean we didn't have an amazing life together. The same with Carole and Finn's father. You're just thinking negatively about this situation. When you work things out with Blaine, you'll be back to loving this film and recognising it as a great love story."

I smiled at my Dad, "Thanks Dad. You're right, I'm just focusing on the negative. But can you blame me?"

"I guess not," Dad said sadly, "The boy you love breaks up with you and a boy who claims he's in love with you basically attacks you."

I rolled my eyes making me wince, "Jeez thanks for reminding me!"

Dad just laughed and leaned down to kiss my forehead. Carole came into the room carrying a tray with a bowl of soup on it. Dad helped me to a sitting position, allowing me to move slowly so I didn't cause myself pain. Carole placed the tray on my lap, smiled at me and went to resume the rest of the family's dinner. I picked up the spoon and took a mouth of the soup. It was Carole's homemade tomato soup and it was always amazing.

"Whoa I must say Kurt, this is not the sort of film I'd have thought you'd like," Dad said, his eyes wide at the screen filled with dancing women.

I just smirked at my Dad's expression, "I love those dancing hoes."

Dad gawked at me for a second before he burst out laughing, "Oh Kurt you do make me laugh!"

Dad left the room chuckling as he was called to sit down for dinner. I continued to watch 'Moulin Rouge', happy my Dad didn't see the scene where Nicole Kidman was trying to seduce Ewan McGregor and was rolling around shouting, "Yes!" repeatedly. I had always thought Ewan McGregor had an amazing voice and I loved it when he sang 'Your Song'. It was so romantic. I continued to watch the film and was happily watching Christian and Satine sing 'Elephant Love Medley'; a mix of some of the most romantic songs, when Finn stormed in and switched off the TV.

"Hey I was watching that!" I cried, wondering what Finn was so angry about.

Finn seemed furious, "Your Dad told me what happened to you!"

Dad suddenly appeared at the door and I glared at him, "I'm sorry son but I thought he should know."

"You could have asked me first!" I argued back, feeling annoyed that he didn't consider whether I wanted Finn to know.

"Sorry son, I'll leave you two to it," Dad said hastily before retreating out of the room.

I sighed, knowing this was going to be hard, "What did my Dad tell you?"

"That that evil Warbler Sebastian Smythe did this to you!" Finn yelled, looking like he wanted to punch or kick something. This reminded me of the time he found out Puck was the father of Quinn's baby, not him.

"Yeah that's true," I knew there was no point lying, especially if my Dad had filled him in, "Sebastian was the one who did this to me."

Finn's face filled with rage, "I'm going to call the guys together and we're going to hunt that bastard down and make him pay!"

I quickly shook my head, ignoring the sharp pain I felt doing so, "No Finn! I don't need you to fight my battles for me!"

"Look dude, I let you down last year with the whole Karofsky incident and I'm still sorry about that. I will not stand by and do nothing about it again!" Finn said angrily, sounding determined.

I felt touched by Finn's words. He truly was a brother to me. I tried to move the tray from my lap but only ended crying out in pain. Finn quickly moved forward and grabbed the lap, taking it off my lap and placing it on the floor.

I smiled at him, "Thank you Finn."

Finn waved his hand at me, "Don't mention it," His demeanour quickly changed, "Kurt I need to find this Warbler and make him pay! He's done too much to you this year already! He can't get away with this! I'm sure when Blaine finds out he'll definitely agree with me and be leading the charge."

I glared at Finn, "You are not telling Blaine anything! It is up to me on what I tell my ex boyfriend."

"Are you going to tell him? Dude he deserves to know!" Finn cried, sounding serious.

"I plan on telling Blaine," I informed Finn, "I just need to talk to him first about everything."

Finn nodded in understanding, "Yeah you so need to talk to Blaine. He was such a mess last night and this morning."

I didn't reply to Finn as I didn't want to think about a distraught Blaine. I always hated it when he was upset. When it had been Whitney week and we had had an argument about Chandler texting me, I had hated it when Blaine was been upset. Every time he was upset, it broke my heart even more.

Finn continued his little speech, "Burt called him last night after you had been missing for an hour or so. He was so frantic and scared. He came over here immediately and demanded to know what had happened before you had ran out. I told him everything: the depressed mood you were in when I woke you up and that comment you made about gays and hell, the fight with your Dad and how you ran out when he swore at you. I called after you and ran after you but you are one fast little dude! I thought I would be able to catch up to you but I was wrong. You were off into the darkness before I had a chance. We would have loved you on the football team this year. You could have been a kicker again and her secret weapon as a fast runner."

I smiled slightly at Finn's words and just rolled my eyes. I would not have re-joined the Football team.

"Anyway we were all really worried," Finn said, going back to his tale, "Everyone went out looking for you. Blaine was determined that he would find you. I eventually stopped looking for you around three in the morning as I was so tired plus I didn't know where else to look. I just hoped you had gone to someone's to stay and would be home the next day. Burt had to make Blaine go home. He wanted to continue looking for you. It was horrible feeling as we all needed to go home but we hadn't found you. I guess it was lucky Santana found you on her way home."

I nodded in agreement, "Yeah she said she usually goes a different way. It was just pure luck."

"What would you have done if Santana hadn't found you?" Finn asked, sounding curious.

It took me a moment to answer as I had to gather my thoughts, "I would have tried my very best to head home. I didn't have my phone on me or any money but I was hoping to find a taxi and get a lift. I would have been able to get money from the house. Other than that I probably would have passed out while walking and hopefully I would have been found and taken to hospital."

"Dude don't say that!" Finn said angrily, "I don't want to think of you lying in a ditch somewhere."

"I'm sorry Finn," I replied, my voice sounding small.

Finn nodded abruptly, "It's okay Kurt. It's just that's what I kept thinking last night. I kept wondering if you were just lying dead somewhere and if you were ever going to be found. I felt so guilty when I stopped searching. So did everyone else."

"I am really sorry," I whispered, feeling incredibly guilty for what I put everyone through.

My stepbrother shook his head, "Kurt don't apologise. We would have known a lot earlier about you being found if I had just checked my phone and heard Santana's voicemail. I'm such an idiot. I don't know why I didn't think to check it out. We all just sat in the choir room this morning with Mr Schue then Coach Sylvester came in to find out what was happening. She was here last night looking for you."

I frowned at Finn, "Coach Sylvester? Sue Sylvester who hates everyone at that school apart from Becky and who hates the Glee club? That Sue?"

Finn smiled at me, "Yeah dude. She calls you 'Porcelain' or something. She likes you. Coach said that you were one of the few people who she could stand at that school, before insulting Mr Schue for like twenty minutes."

"Yeah that sounds like Coach Sylvester," I said with a small smile, "Wow I can't believe she was one of the people looking for me. I guess when I go back to school I should thank her."

Finn scoffed, "Dude you don't need to thank people. We all care about you. We want you to be safe."

I quickly blinked the tears away, "Thanks big brother."

Finn grinned at me, "You're welcome little brother. I'll always look out for you. It was the worst feeling this morning."

"What happened?" I whispered, thinking of my poor friends worried about me.

Finn took a deep breath, "We all turned up for school and headed to the choir room. There was no you and no Santana. I just assumed Santana was sleeping. I don't know why I didn't check my phone. Mr Schue was trying to keep us calm but I could see he was terrified himself. None of us knew what had happened to you. We were all imagining the worst possibilities. Blaine was sitting in the back crying and he just couldn't be consoled. He kept blaming himself. He just wanted to leave and continue looking for you but Mr Schue said he had to stay. Coach Sylvester came in and was asking about you. She was really worried too. She said Becky Jackson was worried as she loved you. Kurt I can't tell you how relieved I felt the moment I saw you in the doorway of the choir room being supported by Santana. I know everyone in that room felt a similar feeling. When I saw you I couldn't believe how you looked. You always look so well put together dude and to see you... to see you like you are now... it's so weird. You're wearing normal people clothing but you're injured and it's horrible to see."

I was about to rip into Finn for making out I was wearing normal clothing but decided against it. He didn't understand fashion, plus I didn't want to change the subject when Finn was getting his feelings off his chest.

"You must have noticed how everyone acted around you, especially Blaine, to see how worried we were," Finn said, smiling sadly at me, "You were asked several times about you being alive. People thought you were dead Kurt. It was a horrible feeling. I don't know what I'd do if we lost you."

"I don't know what I'd do if I lost you Finn," I responded, my throat closing up. I couldn't imagine life without Finn as my brother. The world would be a dark place.

"Hopefully that won't happen," Finn said, trying to lighten the mood, "It was horrible to think you might be dead. Your Dad thought there was a chance and he was distraught. So was my Mum. When I called your Dad to tell him you were at school, he cried on the phone to me and told me he would head home immediately. He just wanted to see you and make things better."

"I spoke to Dad after I woke up after I passed out and we're good now," I informed Finn, hoping he'd know everything was okay, "We just needed to get some things out."

Finn smiled, "That's good to know. I hope nothing like this happens again. It just sucks that the night you ran away, you bump into that Warbler who hates you!"

I guessed Dad hadn't told him everything, "What did Dad tell you exactly?"

Finn looked at me with confusion, "He just said a Warbler called Sebastian Smythe did this to you and I immediately knew who he was doing about and what he had done in the past. Don't you remember he threatened to release a photo shopped image of me if Rachel didn't pull out of Regionals?"

I nodded to show I remembered, "Yeah I know what he did but we all did make peace with him. Look Finn, I know what he did was extremely bad and I am so angry at him for it. But I don't want you to hunt him down, nor do I want anyone else to do so."

"Why are you protecting him Kurt?" Finn demanded, "He has hurt you badly!"

"I know that!" I argued back, "Look, Sebastian cheered me up last night and took me to a bar. We had some drinks but that led to Sebastian declaring his love for me. When I rejected him, he forced a kiss on me and knocked me to the ground. All my injuries are from him pinning me down and me trying to get away."

Finn gaped at me for a moment, "He forced a kiss on you? He tried to rape you! Oh my God that's much worse than being beaten up!"

I shrugged in agreement, "I do agree with you there in some way. If Sebastian had just beaten me up because he hates me, I would have understood. But what he did to me last night... you don't do to someone you love."

My mind instantly flashed to a memory of Blaine and I in the car outside Scandals. I knew immediately they were two completely separate issues. Blaine had been my boyfriend and hadn't forced anything on me. He just suggested it. Sebastian on the other hand had tried to violate me despite my pleas and me trying to get him off.

"You don't do that to anyone at all! Why don't you want me to go after him?" Finn asked, sounding more curious than angry.

I sighed, knowing that he might not understand, "Sebastian thinks he's in love with me and we need to address that. I am in no way letting him off for what he did but I should be the one to hunt down, if so to speak. Okay?"

Finn sighed then nodded, "I guess I'll leave it to you but bro, I'll always have your back."

I smiled at my brother, "Thanks Finn. And look, please don't tell anyone. Not even Rachel. Santana knows as she found me but she won't tell anyone."

"I promise I won't," Finn said, before looking confused, "What shall I say to everyone then? They'll all be waiting tomorrow to know."

I really hated all the gossip in the choir room. Everyone had to know everything.

"Just tell them that I didn't want to talk about it and all you know was that I was hurt. Just leave it like that and I'll deal with it when I come back to school and I have spoken to Blaine. I need to tell him first," I answered, knowing it was the first thing to do.

Finn nodded before leaning down and giving me a gentle hug, "I promise I won't tell. Look after yourself dude, okay? I need my little brother."

I hugged Finn back, "I need my big brother too. I promise I will and thanks Finn."

Finn smiled at me as he pulled back. He gave me a goofy grin before heading up the stairs to, no doubt, play some halo.

I turned my attention back to the television and yawned. I couldn't believe how tired I felt when I had only been awake for a couple of hours. The film just happened to be on the scene when Christian is introducing their secret love song 'Come What May'. I smiled at the memories of Blaine and I singing the song together. I sometimes thought it was more intimate than sex. Anyone could have sex but this song was a declaration of love that stands the test of time. I really hoped Blaine and I would work it out. I didn't want to lose the man I could sing 'Come What May' with and mean every word.

Dad came back into the room, once he checked Finn was gone, "How did it go?"

I glared at him, "How do you expect? He was angry and wanted to hunt Sebastian down."

"Oh... well that is what I expected," Dad replied sheepishly.

I just rolled my eyes, "We had a bit of a heart to heart and Finn has promised not to tell anyone or do anything until I say so."

Dad nodded, "That's good of him. He was so angry when I told him. Anyway bud I was going to see if you wanted me to take you upstairs to your bed. You've been sleeping on the sofa all day and that can't be too comfortable. Carole says you need plenty of rest and will probably be tired."

"Yeah that sounds good," I agreed, wanting to fall asleep in my bed, "I feel so tired."

"Do you think you can walk or do you want me to carry you?" Dad asked, sounding concerned.

I thought for a moment, "It'll probably be easier for you to carry me as it'll probably take me a really long time to get up those stairs as I'll have to pause at every step."

Dad smiled at me, before he shut off the TV. He gently gathered me in his arms and lifted me up, trying not to jostle me in anyway. He quickly walked up the stairs, holding me to him as if I was a precious cargo. When he got to my room, Dad laid me on the bed carefully before grabbing my pyjamas. He quickly helped me change, taking as much care as possible, and afterwards helped me into bed.

Dad sat on the edge of my bed, running his hand through my hair, "How are you feeling?"

"I'm okay," I smiled softly up at my father, "I'm not in any pain."

"I'll leave some painkillers and a glass of water for you in the morning when you wake up," Dad replied, smiling sadly back at me.

I nodded and closed my eyes, feeling my body start to fall into a slumber.

"Kurt?" I opened one eye to look at my father, "I think we need to talk about Scandals."

I gulped as I opened both eyes, "Sure Dad. What do you want to talk about?"

"I'm not very happy with the idea of my eighteen year old son at a club drinking. You're underage and it's illegal. I know you went there last night because you were upset but you said you went there before!" Dad lectured, sounding disappointed.

I had to set things straight, "I went there before with Blaine because Sebastian invited us and I wanted to be cool and be Blaine's gay bar superstar. I soon realised I'm not that. I promise you I didn't drink that night and Blaine says he only had one beer. It was nice to go to a place where you didn't have to worry about your sexuality."

Dad looked sad at my words, "I understand that son. I'm glad you didn't drink last time. I know you drank last night and I can't force you never to drink again. I just want you to promise me that you'll always be responsible. I don't want another last night, nor do I want another phone call saying you've puked on your guidance counseller's shoes after calling her Bambi."

I shuddered at the memory, "I promise Dad. I promise I'll be responsible."

Dad leaned down and kissed my forehead, "I love you Kurt."

"I love you too Dad," I replied, smiling, "Goodnight."

Dad got up and switched the light off as he left the room, "Goodnight son."

I tried to snuggle down as much as possible without hurting myself. I let my eyes close knowing that I was seconds away from sleep.

(break)

I groaned as I woke up. I still felt tired. I glanced at my clock on my bedside table and saw it was early afternoon. I had been asleep for roughly around eighteen hours or so. My body ached everywhere. I manoeuvred myself slightly so I was in a sitting position. I reached over and swallowed the two painkillers before drinking some water. I caught sight of the pictures of Blaine and I on the table and smiled sadly. We looked so happy and in love in every photo. I knew I had to talk to him. I deserved that much. I suddenly realised I hadn't had my phone since I got home that night. I reached across and picked up my phone that had been placed on the table since the other night, letting out a small moan about the pain caused by my ribs. I plugged the phone into the charger and turned it on. I waited a moment for my phone to load before picking it up. My mouth dropped open at the numbers on my phone. I had sixty three missed calls, over a hundred messages and about forty voicemails. I couldn't believe it. I started scrolling through the messages, only focusing on ones from a few people.

From Dad 19:48
Kurt call me when you get this. You're probably avoiding my calls but please pick up or call me! I'm so sorry! I love you so much son! Dad xx

From Finn 19:54
Dude where are you!? I tried to chase you but you were long gone! If you don't want to talk to your Dad, ring me or my Mum. Please Kurt! Finn x

From Carole 20:07
Please ring me sweetheart. Please ring someone. Carole xx

From Blaine 20:32
Kurt what is going on? Your Dad just called me saying you're missing. He said you ran out of the house after an argument. Where are you baby? I'm so worried about you. I know you don't particularly like me right now but I need you to be safe. I'll come and get you no matter where you are. Please baby. I love you. Blaine xxxxxx

That text from Blaine really hurt. He called me pet names and finished the text with an 'I love you'. He had said he would come and get me no matter where I was. This was the Blaine I loved.

From Rachel 21:11
Kurt where are you? I'm going through such a bad time! First I screw up my song in my audition and then I find out you're missing. I don't know what happened earlier but please be okay. You're my Best Gay! I love you. Rachel xxxx

I shook my head at the text. Rachel displayed her usual selfish self but had turned it around to show her concern for the people she loved.

From Mercedes 22:26
Ring me boo! I need to know you're okay! I'm praying for you!! Love you white boy, Mercedes xxxx

From Brittany 23:49
I'm at home waiting to hear from you or Santana. Lord Tubbington won't tell me where you are. I'm mad at him. I love you Dolphin! Brittany xxxxx

From Blaine 01:02
I just found your phone upstairs and seen everyone's messages on it. It's stupid to continue texting you but it makes me feel close to you, even though you won't read this for a while... or at all if you're dead... Kurt please just come home! I love you so much! I can't imagine my life without you! Your Blaine xxxxxx

I didn't realise I had tears running down my face as I read these text messages. I quickly scrolled through the rest from last night and found some from yesterday morning.

From Blaine 09:12
I pray to what God is out there that you're at home. I need you to be safe. I love you. Blaine xxxxxx

From Finn 09:23
Dude where are you? We're all in the choir room so worried! Come home! Finn x

From Dad 09:30
Where are you Kurt? Please come home! Dad xx

I had so texts after I had been found and was back at home.

From Blaine 12:13
I hope you're okay. Santana came back to school and told us you collapsed in your Dad's arms at the door. She stayed for a little while before she came back to school but she said you were still out of it when she left. Please be okay baby! I love you so much! Your Blaine xxxxxx

From Santana 14:18
You had better be okay Porcelain! I didn't look after your sorry ass for you to die on me! You scared me when you collapsed on your Dad! Do not tell anyone that! And don't worry I haven't told anyone about what happened. I wouldn't betray your trust like that. Britt doesn't even know. All she wants is her Dolphin to be okay. Love you Lady, Satan xxx

From Rachel 14:41
We still have many duets to sing. You have to be okay! Rachel xxxx

From Finn 15:09
Can't wait to see you back home dude! Finn x

From Blaine 20:14
I'm so relieved to hear from Finn that you're okay and have been awake. He told me you're really tired and have been sleeping a lot. I heard you have concussion. I'm so sorry baby. I hate that this happened to you. Hopefully I can speak to you soon. I love you. Blaine xxxxxx

I scrolled through the rest of the texts and noticed I had a few from this morning. I quickly opened them up.

From Finn 09:11
I promise I won't say anything dude. Love you man. Finn x

From Blaine 09:23
I don't know why I expected you to be here but I was really disappointed when I saw Finn on his own this morning. Get some rest love. Blaine xxxxxx

From Brittany 11:11
It's 11:11 and I made a wish that my Dolphin was all better. I need to see you soon! Brittany xxx

From Santana 12:24
You better be resting Porcelain! Finn told me you had concussion and I was so right! You need to listen to your Auntie Snixx in the future. Satan xxx

From Blaine 13:05
I keep looking at your empty seat in the choir room and wishing you were here. Miss you. Is this what it felt like when I wasn't there after the whole slushie incident? I love you, your Blaine xxxxxx

I looked at the time and realised Blaine had sent that one a few minutes ago. I decided to reply as we needed to talk. I noticed I had two missed calls this morning from a number I didn't recognise. I decided to leave them as I didn't know who it was and I was sure I would eventually find out. I opened a text to Blaine.

From Kurt 13:08
Just read through everyone's texts. It was so overwhelming. Yeah it was like that when you were recovering from eye surgery but at least I knew everything between us was okay. Blaine we need to talk. Kurt xxxxxx

I decided to put our usual number of kisses but didn't put 'I love you' or 'Your Kurt'. I didn't know where we stood. I brought up the subject of us as I needed to know where we stood. Blaine instantly texted back.

From Blaine 13:10
Kurt! Oh my God it's so good to hear from you! I thought it would be overwhelming. Everyone was so worried. We thought we'd lost you. I don't know what I'd do without you Kurt. I need you so much. Yeah I guess that would make it better to know that when the person you love returns, it's still the same between you two. I want everything to be okay. We definitely need to talk but it should be face to face. I love you. Blaine xxxxxx

I quickly read through his message and clicked reply.

From Kurt 13:12
I agree about the face to face. You can hide behind text message. I'd rather do this conversation in a place without watchful eyes. That's impossible here due to the amount of fussing people. Can we do it at yours? Kurt xxxxxx

I knew that would be fine with Blaine as his parents were never there. They were always busy with work. They would be fine with me being there anyway as they adored me. They were happy I made Blaine happy. Or I used to.

Everyone's fussing over you because they care so much about you. That's absolutely fine. You can come here and I'll fuss over you :) Shall we say half seven? Your Blaine who's so excited to see his love xxxxxx

I smiled at Blaine's text. It was so sweet. I needed to sort things out with this boy.

I'll be there at half seven. I'll see you ten. Kurt xxxxxx

I put my phone down but suddenly it buzzed again.

From Blaine 13:16
Can't wait! :) Your Blaine xxxxxx

I smiled at his text, looking forward to seeing him.
