A little later that night, Liz and Darla, Kurt and Blaine were in the hotel room. Liz was in the bathroom changing into her sweats and a t-shirt. Darla was laying on their bed, watching Blaine intently. He was in an old pair of jeans and a t-shirt. He was stretched out next to Kurt on their bed. They had been cuddling as they watched tv. Kurt had fallen asleep due to the pain killer he took. He had rolled away from Blaine and was on his stomach. Darla was getting excited as she ran her eyes down Blaines body. He was semi-muscular and his t-shirt accented his definition. She had to get him away from Kurt.

Thinking fast, Darla got up and picked up the cup of water on the nightstand. She walked over  and pretended to trip when she got near Blaine. When the water fell on him, he jumped up."What the hell?!" 

"Oh Im sorry! Im such a klutz I was going to refill this and I tripped. Here lets get you out of this wet shirt." She purred. She lead him to the bathroom area. She had to catch her breath when he removed the soaked shirt. Rubbing up against him she groaned,"Hot damn! Youre built. Too bad youre gay. I would do you in a minute." 

Darla heard the door behind her start to open, grabbed Blaine and planted a passionate kiss on his mouth. Pushing her back, Blaine looked her in the eye and said, "I think you need to leave. I wont let you treat my sister like this." 

Liz came out of the bathroom dressed for bed and tying her hair in a high ponytail,"Did I just see you kiss my brother? Dont lie to me."

Nodding Blaine confirmed her suspicions,"Yes. She accidentally spilled water on me as a way to get me away from Kurt, she kissed me and pretty much admitted she is attracted to me. Shes not gay."

Seeing red Liz walked over to Darla, getting in her face."Youre straight?! You lied to me!? I trusted you! I told you things no one else knows, not even Blaine! I let my guard down! I thought you were my friend! How do you think that makes me feel?" Letting her rage get the better of her, she slapped Darla hard on the side of the face and hissed,"You bitch! Tell me the truth! You owe me that much!!" Blaine came up behind Liz and grabbed her by the arms to restrain her. 

"Ok! Ok its true. The group that attacked you came up with the idea. They suspected you had a crush on me. I resisted at first I swear. They needed someone that could befriend and get you to let your guard down. I never wanted to go along with it. I may be a bitch but Im not vicious. They just needed me to get you to admit you were gay." Darla said not making eye contact with anyone.

Squirming out of Blaines arms, glaring angrily at Darla as she went, Liz walked to the window, muttering to herself trying to process the situation, she looked outside, she let the tears fall. Getting dangerously quiet she said,"I never thought I would get used like this by anyone. You are a bully! Youre the first person I came out to. I thought I could trust you to keep it private. You outed me publicly before I was ready! I never felt more betrayed! You are vicious. What did I ever do to you? Those other kids are homophobic, thats actually public record, I honestly thought that you were more open minded. Apparently I was wrong. It breaks my heart. I honestly dont know why I was attracted to you! Right now I cant stand to be in the same room as you!"

Darla walked up behind her and put her hand on her shoulder. Liz forcefully pushed it away. Literally getting sick to her stomach at Darlas touch."Do not touch me! You lost that right when you lied and played with my emotions. You know what the worst part of all of this is? I believed you loved me. When I told you I loved you, I wasnt lying. Everything is making sense now. When you visited me in the hospital and you were distant, I thought that you were just worried about hurting me more. Apparently you never wanted to touch me at all. I was too quick to trust you and let you into my private life! What was so damn important that you decided to treat another human that way? Yes, Im gay, not denying that, but I still have feelings and emotions just like you! Do you understand that on any level whatsoever?" 

Finding her voice, Darla watched as Liz sat down in the chair next to the window,"Do you remember the election for Student Council last year? We were both running for secretary and you won? I swore revenge. Now I realize that I lost fair and square. You were the better candidate. The group promised me popularity if I helped them get you to transfer schools. I got greedy, I admit that. Im very very sorry. I actually do love you. That wasnt a lie. Ive been keeping a secret of my own. Do you remember what I told you after you came out to your mom? That I thought it was inspiring? I meant that. The truth is I have yet to come out. Im bisexual. I have never told anyone."

"Im glad you told me, I really am. Im not going to tell anyone. I dont believe in outing. If you think telling me changes anything between us it doesnt. Im really angry and hurt. Do you know how much restraint its taking me not to slap you again? You broke my heart. Destroyed my self esteem. When Blaine asked me earlier tonight to go live with him and Kurt, I really wanted to tell him right then that i would, but I told him I had to talk to you first. That was when I was under the delusion that we were together!" Shifting her gaze to Blaine, she smiled."I made my decision. Ive outgrown Arizona. I have to get away from everything toxic in my life. When you go back to Ohio, Ill be going with you. I need to be with family. Darla, I want you to leave! Do not contact me again. Get the hell out of my sight."

After Darla left, Liz closed the door behind her. She turned around, put her face in her hands, tears flowing. She looked up as she felt Blaines hand on her cheek. She wrapped her arms around him. Her brother was her strength. He led her to bed, pulled back the covers and tucked her in. Kissing her hair, he whispered, "Just rest now, Ill be right here. Kurt and I are your family. We love you so much. Sleep sweet Lizzie!"

Smiling sleepily, Liz yawned,"Thanks. I love you both too. Good night, big brother."

Tonya Anderson was standing in her daughters room trying to come to terms with what Liz had told her earlier that day. She went over to the bed and picked up the stuffed animal that was leaning against the pillow. It was Lizs favorite, she had it since she was a baby. It was worn and tattered from years of cuddling. Tears started to fall as Lizs words kept repeating in her head, Parents are supposed to love and support their children no matter what. She realized that her daughter was right. She had treated her children horribly over something they had no control over. 

Sitting on the bed, still holding the stuffed animal, Tonya sobbed,"Love is love! No matter what. Why did it take me so long to learn that? It took my seventeen year old daughter telling me shes gay to open my eyes. I have to make things right with my children. I just hope that in time they both forgive me. Not that I deserve it."

~*~*~*~

The next morning Liz was starting to come out of a deep sleep, when she felt two pairs of eyes watching her. Opening her eyes, she rolled over and saw the two most important people in her life. Stretching leisurely, she yawned,"Good morning you two. What time is it?"

Blaine could not hide his amusement."Its eight thirty. After the night you had we wanted you to sleep a little later. We also want to take you to breakfast." 

Unable to resist teasing both of them, Liz sat up,"Its amazing to me that you guys are up so early, considering I heard you having sex in the bathroom late last night!" Hearing this Kurt went red out of embarrassment, Blaine tried to hide a smile. Chuckling Liz continued,"It doesnt bother me. You two love each other. Its normal! Also you dont have to put on layers of clothes at night. I know that you both like to sleep in your boxers. Blaine has always been that way." 

Kurt smiled,"its not that you heard us. Ive always been a little skittish when it comes to talking about sex. My dad and I had the sex talk kind of late, when I was seventeen. I think Blaine lit a fire under him to bring it up. He denies it. I have always been a silly, hopeless romantic."

Liz looked at him with understanding,"Im the same way. Its not silly. Youre lucky you even had the talk. My mother never talked to me about sex. To me, it is not the most important part of a relationship. I personally think getting to know someone and forming a bond with them is actually sexier than the act itself, it even makes the first time even more romantic. If I have learned anything in the past twelve hours its that Im actually grateful to Darla for stopping us from doing anything. As usual Im the only virgin in the room. This time it doesnt bother me. I am actually proud to say I am one. Did Blaine tell you my decision?"

"He said that you made a decision but he wouldnt tell me what it was. Please dont keep me in suspense." 

"I have decided to go with you back to Ohio. I told our mom that Im gay and she kicked me out. Ive always wanted to leave Arizona and now I have the chance! So what I am saying is I would love to. Now didnt you mention something about breakfast?" Liz smiled, got her clothes together and went to get dressed.

While they were eating a little later, Blaines phone vibrated. He looked down and it was a number he hadnt seen in quite a while. It was his mothers number. "Thats odd! Its mom. How did she get my Ohio number?" 

Shrugging Liz said,"Answer it. She cant do anymore damage than she already has."

Sighing heavily and grabbing Kurts hand, he answered."Hello mother. How have you been?"

"Hello Blaine. Not so good actually. I need to talk to both of you. Are you able to come to the house for a while?" 

"Ive nothing to say to you. However, Im willing to listen to what you have to say. I cant speak for Liz. We are having breakfast. When we are done we will head over there ok?" Blaine said looking at Liz. She nodded, her curiosity getting the better of her. 

"Great see you then." Tonya said.

Blaine hung up without saying anything else. The three of them looked at each other and then Blaine flagged their waitress down and asked for the check. After it was paid, they made their way to Liz and Blaines house. 

"I have to admit Im a little nervous." Liz said as they pulled into the driveway."i think Im going to be sick."

Grabbing her hand Blaine winked at her,"How do you think I feel? I havent seen her since I was a freshman! Here I am out of high school, engaged to the hottest guy, and Im actually sweating!" 

As a way to ease the tension, Kurt pretended to be surprised by Blaines announcement."You really think Im hot?" 

Grinning Blaine started kissing his neck,"The hottest and sexiest guy Ive ever seen. I thought I proved it to you last night." 

"You did! I was just making sure!" Kurt said capturing Blaines mouth in a hot, lingering kiss. 

Liz cleared her throat."Boys? Could we?"

They both grinned and they all went to the door. Liz opened it and lead the way to the living room, where their mom was waiting. 

Seeing Blaine walk in, Tonya had to do a double take. Her son was no longer the teen she remembered. In front of her was an attractive young man of twenty. "Blaine Devon? That cant be you!" 

"Its me, mother. This is my fiancée, Kurt. You mentioned that you had something you wanted to tell us?" Blaine said ignoring his mothers invitation for a hug, and sitting down on the couch with Kurt and Liz next to him.

"Ok. Well as you probably know, Eliza Shea told me yesterday that shes gay. It didnt go very well. I told her she couldnt stay here, like I did with you Blaine. However, something she told me, stuck with me and made me think. She told me that parents are supposed to love and support their children no matter what. Shes right. I treated both of you horribly over something that you have no control over. I want to apologize for the way Ive treated both of you. It wasnt right. I dont expect forgiveness right away or at all. I just wanted to say that I love, support and accept both of you for who you are." 

"Thank you Mama. I appreciate this. Im still moving to Ohio to live with Blaine and Kurt. Im sorry if this hurts you but it is what is best for me. My name is Liz. No one calls me Eliza Shea anymore. Only Blaine can call me Lizzie because that has always been his nickname for me." 

"It does hurt. I do understand why. I just want you both to be happy." 

Blaines attitude towards his mother had changed while she was talking. As crazy as it sounded he believed her. Reaching over and hugging his mother, he said with tears in his eyes,"Thats all I ever wanted from you mom. It killed me when you forced me to move out. It didnt just hurt me, it hurt Lizzie too. She and I were so close. Shes the first person I came out to. She has always been in my corner and is my best friend. I would like for her to stand up for me at my wedding." 

Nodding, Liz smiled and said,"I just sort of assumed I would be!" 

Everybody started laughing. The three of them excused themselves to go to Lizs school to clean out her locker and let her say good bye to her friends.
