Dont hate me...Klaine love soon...
Kurt hadn't smiled this much since he was a kid, his audition went well and he left the same cheesy grin on the directors face, he was on the way to meet Blaine and his future no longer seemed bleak, until David called.
“What do you want.”
“Hey Kurt, I'm glad you answered.”
“You have two minutes.”
“Well, um I just called to see if you were okay.”
“I'm fine goodbye Dav--”
“I miss you.” Kurt grimaced at the words, “I have for a long time and I know I made a mistake, but I've changed.”
“David, it has been a year since we broke up.I moved on, I suggest you should do the same.” Kurt hung up as tears started to roll down his face, he was about to call Blaine and reschedule until he saw him adjusting an orange bowtie outside the cafe across the street.Maybe he could be the pick me up that I need. Kurt crossed the street and smiled as Blaine gave him a goofy smile and a wave.
“Hey beautiful, how was your day?”
“Better with you.”
“Tell me about it, I'm all ears.” Blaine cooed and touched his ears as they were being seated.
“Well, I was on my way over here when my ex, David called me.” Kurt found Blaine's hazel eyes change, filled with sympathy and care. “He says that he misses me but I told him I've moved on.” Kurt grabbed Blaine's hand and faked his best smile.
“You still look pretty broken up, do you want to talk?”
“Well it'll come out anyway why not not.” Kurt sighed and closed his eyes.“Me and David were engaged and one night he had way too much to drink and he hit me. I got out of there as soon as possible, I couldn't be someone who stayed in an abusive relationship.”
Blaine's eyes were cloudy, when he spoke. “I'm so sorry Kurt.”
“Don't worry about it.Maybe later you can tell me your relationship horror stories.”
“Maybe later.” Blaine said distantly as a waitress approached.
----------------------------------------------------------------
“Hey, we're almost there.” Blaine said soothingly as they entered a tall grey building.
“This is where you live?” Kurt asked an odd sense of wonder echoing in his voice.
“Yeah, I just moved in with Sam so there are still a couple of boxes everywhere.”
“It's fine...”
Blaine pulled out his key and stumbled backwards against Kurt.
“Sebastian?” He yelped,his eyes becoming distant.
“Hey babe, glad your home.” Sebastian said a smirk spread across his face. Kurt's eyebrows raised expectantly as he turned to Blaine.
“What are you doing here?” Blaine stuttered.
“Well I flew all the way from L.A to make sure my boyfriend was moved in safely.” Both Kurt and Blaine winced at the word boyfriend.”Who's the twink?” Sebastian muttered coolly staring at Kurt.
“Lunch was fun Blaine, but you can lose my number.” Kurt swiftly turned on his heels and started to walk away from the apartment.
“Kurt, this isn't what it looks like,He's not my boyfriend!” Blaine called but soon Kurt disappeared into the traffic.
“So, now that gay face is gone let's have some fun.” Sebastian spoke slyly as he grabbed Blaine from behind.Blaine pushed Sebastian off of him and into the building's wall. A few passerbyers looked over but no one did anything.
“No I don't even know why youre here! I flew across the country to get away from you! Why are you so hell bent on fucking up my life Sebastian? Go mess up someone elses life! Get the Hell out of mine!” Blaine seethed as he stormed off in the direction of Kurt's apartment.
------------------------------------------
Kurt had never been so upset,there was an uncontrollable fire in his chest that he had only felt when David had hit him.He knew that he couldnt go home,Blaine would try to go there first.Kurt quickly pulled out his phone and dialed the only person he could talk to.
"Hey Dad."
"Hey son whats up?"
"I just needed someone to talk to and I just I just needed your help."Kurts voice started to break when he spoke.He relayed what had happened to father,from Davids call to him storming out of Blaines apartment.
"Youve got to talk to him." Burt finally spoke after listening to Kurt's story.There was a pregnant pause before he spoke again. "From what you told me before,he doesnt seem like the kind of guy who would just lie to you. You need to talk to him."
"I just dont think that I can,Im just so hurt."
"Look kid,you dont have to do it now.Just give yourself sometime to calm down and then reach out."
"Im not sure I can do that..."
"Just talk to him it will sort itself out."
"Okay Dad,Ill call tomorrow.Love you."
"Love you too kiddo,I hope everything works out for you."
With those words Kurt turned the corner and walked into Central Park,he just needed to be by himself.
------------------------------------------------------
The next morning Kurt was awoken by the licks of a small cocker spaniel with large eyes and big floppy ears.
“I'm so sorry sir, Una is just a little too friendly...” A young woman spoke in an soft but exasperated tone.
Kurt nodded as she walked away, the dog pulling back towards him.He pulled out his phone to see 36 missed calls and text messages from Rachel and Blaine.
From Blaine: Kurt, I am so sorry just give me a chance to explain
From Blaine: Call me back
From Blaine: I'm at your apartment with Rachel...Where are you?
From Rachel: Kurt where are you?! Why is Blaine at my apartment crying?
From Rachel: God Kurt! Just come home!
Kurt soon tired of reading the never ending texts when he realized that he'd slept through the night on a park bench.I probably looked like a hobo, a well dressed hobo.He quickly called into work and then dialed Rachel's number.
“Oh My God Kurt what is wrong with you? Where were you last night? Blaine came over saying that his ex came back and fucked everything up and I was just so worried.” Rachel screeched, Kurt had to pull his phone away from his ear so he could keep the integrity of this ear drums.
“I just needed to blow off some steam...” He answered swiftly and started walking back to the apartment.
“What happened last night,Blaine slept here so he could apologize.”
“Is he still there?”
“No, he left an hour ago,he had some teachers meeting.”
“Good, I don't think I can handle being around him right now.”
“Kurt you didn't answer my question...What happened?”
“He has a boyfriend and I came home with Blaine and there he was.”
“Oh sweetie! I am so sorry! Come on home we're having a girls day!”
“Well I just slept on a bench so as soon as I get home I'm falling asleep...But we can do something tonight.”
“Great! See you when you get here!''
Kurt hung up and called the one person he really didn't want to talk to, even though he knew he had to.
“Blaine, It's Kurt we need to talk.”
