“Ya I know, just hurry if we are late we will both get detention.” Finn said as he stuffed some papers into his backpack.
When they were almost to school Finn shuffled in his seat and turned towards Kurt. “Kurt promise me you will watch out for that Blaine kid. I know you are doing a good dead or whatever but I am just worried.”
“I know you are Finn, but I will be fine. Now come on we literally have one minute till the bell rings.” Kurt said as he sped into McKinley High’s parking lot and nearly jumped out of the car after putting it in park. The Hudson-Hummel boys ran into the high school and got into homerun just as the bell rang.
Kurt slid into his seat, ignoring the quizzical look from Rachel and Puck who were both in his homeroom. Homeroom ended quickly and Kurt rushed off to French class. The whole day Kurt’s focus was torn between watching the clock and thinking of Blaine. Kurt wasn’t sure why he was so nervous. Sure Blaine was different, but Kurt knew that he would be alright. One thing did stick out to Kurt, every time his thoughts wandered to Blaine Kurt would fist picture his eyes; his gorgeous hazel eyes that seemed to burn with emotion. Kurt shook his head, he couldn’t think of Blaine in any other manner besides as a peer, Kurt was Blaine’s tutor and that was it nothing more. Furthermore Kurt was pretty sure Blaine was straight. Kurt sighed as the bell that ended sixth period rang and Kurt began to make his way up to special ed room. Before he could walk up the stairs leading to the second floor he was stopped by Puck.
“You aren’t going to tutor that Blaine kid are you?” He asked.
“As a matter of fact, Noah I am.” Kurt said, using Puck’s real name in a effort to annoy him.
“Dude you do realized you are signing a death wish right. Blaine is like a timebomb he could explode at any moment, I know I’ve seen it.” Puck said, his voice filled with worry.
“ Ughh, I am so sick and tired of people telling me to watch out for Blaine! He is a normal kid, Puck! So what if he has some issues that doesn’t mean we should shun him! Now if you excuse I don’t want to be late!” Kurt said as he passed Puck.
Kurt hurried towards the special ed room. He tried to stifle his anger towards his friends as he entered the room and scanned it for any sign of Blaine. Kurt furrowed his eyebrows when Blaine was no where in sight. He quickly made his way back to Mrs. Raine’s office and knocked on the door.
“Come in”
Kurt opened the door and pocked his head in. “Hello Mrs. Raine, I don’t know if you remember me but I am Kurt Hummel I am here to tutor Blaine Anderson but I didn’t see him in the room.”
“Oh yes Kurt, I am sorry but Blaine didn’t show up to school today.”
“Oh is he sick?” Kurt asked.
“I am not sure dear, he just didn’t show up today.” Mrs. Raine said with a small smile.
“Oh doesn’t he get in trouble?”
"Well yes, he will if he doesn’t come back tomorrow with a note signed by his parents excusing his absence.” Mrs. Raine said as she pursed her lips. “I am sorry dear; maybe you can help me with some filing so you can have some hours under your belt. And I guess we will hope that Blaine is back tomorrow.”
“Thank you Mrs. Raine, I really appreciate it.” Kurt smiled as he set down his satchel and listened as Mrs. Raine explained her filing system. As the hour progressed Kurt worries for Blaine increased. Finally the bell ending the period rang and Kurt hurried out of the room, after thanking Mrs. Raine once more.
Kurt couldn’t shake the nagging feeling he had about Blaine. He knew he had to go check on him. Kurt went directly to his locker, not thinking twice about skipping glee for the day, and headed out to his car.
As he started the car he pulled out his GPS and found Blaine’s address still saved. He began to drive. Kurt wasn’t exactly sure what he was going to do when he got to Blaine’s. Maybe make some excuse about bringing his missed assignments or something. He just knew that he needed to check on him. As Kurt turned into Blaine’s development his brain started to have second thoughts. What was he thinking; he couldn’t just barge in on some kid’s house that he barely knew. Kurt almost pulled a u-turn to head home but when his eyes landed on the seemingly abandoned Anderson house he knew he had to go in.
Kurt cautiously made his way up the winding drive and carefully parked his car, the drive was empty aside from his Navigator. Kurt straightened his jacket nervously before knocking on the large wooden door that led into the house. He stood anxiously on the grandiose porch for what seemed like ages. Kurt knocked again a bit louder. Still no response. Kurt bit his lip and once again thought briefly of leaving but instead found himself testing the large brass doorknob and pushing the door open.
Kurt gasped as he entered the mansion. The foyer was complete with marble floors and high ceilings accented by a large crystal chandelier. Kurt breathed as he admired the splendor. He slowly made his way up the grand staircase dragging his hand over the rich mahogany. Kurt made his way up to the second floor when he heard something that made him stop suddenly. Kurt held his breath as loud sobs came from a closed door on his right. Kurt swallowed hard and pushed the door open into Blaine’s bedroom.
