Can't Lose You

Chapter 2: Kurt Meets Blaine

It was the last class of the day and all Kurt Hummel wanted to do was go home and sleep until he'd have to eventually get up, only so his family won't think he's 'sleeping his problems away' again.

Kurt wouldn't usually let little things like a slushie or being shoved into a locker bother him but it just seemed like recently they've gotten worse.

His day would consist of an early morning slushie facial, brought on by none other than the football team, followed by a dumpster toss and locker shove here and there. Today was no different.

The jocks loved picking on Kurt; it was their favorite part of the day.

However, there was one jock in particular who was worse than all the others combined. Why, you may ask?

Oh I can tell you that. Its cause Dave Karofsky(even in his head, Kurt spat the name out like poison)is a closeted homo who forced himself on me on more than one occasion!

Easy Kurt, a few more minutes and you'll be tucked away in your bed in your nice safe home.Or so he thought.

Karofsky was one of Kurt's main bullies. He targeted Kurt because of the fact that he was the only openly gay kid at his school and naturally the other jocks fell into step after him. Kurt hated feeling alone. He wished for another person like him -'a unicorn' as Brittany put it- to attend his school. If there was just one other person, he didn't care who they were, for him to relate to in a way no one else could, things would be better.

Yeah Karofsky was gay but he was also a closeted gay douche. Kurt was proud of who he was, unlike Karofsky, and so were his glee club friends and family, his father particularly.

Burt Hummel supported his son, giving him love and guidance through it all and Kurt couldn't be more grateful.

When Kurt lost his mother six years ago he knew, at that moment, to cherish the people you love around you because someday they could be gone and you could be left with nothing but a broken heart.

Kurt was lonely though. He had friends and everything but what he wanted was someone he could walk hand in hand down the halls with, or someone he could proudly call his 'boyfriend'. Was that too much to ask? Apparently it was in this town.

Not in Lima, Ohio could he live his life freely.

New York, yes. That was the dream, that was the plan. To escape from his close minded town and move to New York City and follow his dreams, to become something. Show everyone up and find true love there.

His fingers were tapping at his chemistry book loudly, too lost in his fantasy of a better life in New York, when the bell startled him awake. He made a mad dash towards the door and sprinted down the halls to the school's parking lot, almost falling a number amount of times. Finally when he did make it he looked around in search of his stepbrother.

Finn came shortly after him, walking with Rachel, his girlfriend and best friend of Kurt, who was tagging along almost like a shadow. It was annoying how clingy she got.

"If I ever have a boyfriend I'd need to make sure not to be like that." he thought out loud.

Finn caught Kurt's eyes from across the lot giving him a look that said if-you-don't-hurry-the-hell-up-I-will-cut-you-in-y our-sleep. Finn gulped at the thought.

Rachel was babbling on about something to do with her wanting to demand another glee solo when she noticed Kurt's presence. "Oh hey Kurt!" she waved frantically at him.

Kurt returned it half heartedly only to return his glare back on Finn, yelling for him to hurry up.

Finn caught the irritation in his tone and quickly said a goodbye to his girlfriend making his way towards his stepbrother.

"What's with the hold up?" Kurt asked once his stepbrother was close enough to hear him; he had his arms crossed around his chest to better show how irritated he already was.

"I'm sorry she wouldn't stop talking about this song she wanted to sing for glee c-" and that's all Kurt heard before he felt his breath catch in his throat. Starring from across the lot was a short curly haired man, with the most breath taking eyes he'd ever seen. They were golden, almost hazel, with an orange brown that sparkled beautifully in the sunlight.

He must have been new. Kurt would have remembered someone like him.

He wore on a tight leather jacket, over a white fitted shirt that snuggled just the right way around his body. Following his 'bad boy' attire was a pair of black skinny jeans that had a tear on one knee. Wow Kurt could only imagine how amazing he'd look naked.

Wait, wow Kurt you don't even know the guy and you're already imagining him in your room, naked, spread on your bed. He didn't even know if the guy might be gay for god's sake.

Although the lust in the boys eyes could tell Kurt otherwise.

Kurt was just about to take a step towards him when a hand blocked him from his view. Finn was staring at him with a confused look that he sported all too well.

"Hey man are you even listening?" His stepbrother asked.

"Sorry what did you say?" Kurt was still trying to recover from his daze when he responded.

"I said Burt wanted us to drop by the shop today after school."

Kurt groaned at his words. "Why?" he asked. It came out more of a whine than a question.

"He said he wanted to talk to us about something." Finn answered anyway.

"Let's just get this over with" Kurt sighed, turning to fetch for his car keys and unlocking the doors for both boys. He chanced one last glance at the hazel eyed boy to see if he was still staring at him and he was. Even more fiercely than before.

Until next time Mystery Guy.

And with that Kurt started his car and made his way out the parking lot and towards his fathe's tire shop.
