Blaine walks into the foyer and waits. He doesn't see Kurt or hear anything. He wants to call out but is too scared no one will answer him back. Finally he gives in and softly calls out Kurt's name.

There is a scuffling in the living room and then, "Blaine?"

Blaine feels like a heavy weight falls off of his shoulders, he feels light and giddy with relief. That's Kurt's voice. Kurt is still here. Then the guilt hits him. Kurt is still here.

Blaine rounds the corner and sees Kurt sitting on the couch, arms resting on his knees, hands clasped together as he looks up at Blaine.

"You're home."

"You're still here."

"Did you see my dad?" Kurt asks his eyebrows raised.

"I saw him." Blaine rubs a hand down his face. "It went really well actually, I was able to tell him everything we'd planned. He... He's a great guy Kurt."

"But I'm still here." Kurt said in a small voice.

"I am so sorry." Blaine walks towards the couch and sits down. Kurt is stiff and unmoving beside him. Blaine puts an arm around Kurt's shoulders, but still he doesn't move.

"How is he?" Kurt finally asks.

"He seemed good. I saw a picture on his desk with Carol and Finn. They all seemed to being doing well. He misses you. Of course he misses you. He wasn't angry with you or anything, just sad. He was sad he wasn't there for you in the end. I..." Blaine shook his head to try to clear his thoughts. "He really loves you."

Kurt took a deep breath and leaned on Blaine's shoulder. "I'm glad you got to talk to him. It means more to me than I can say. Thank you Blaine."

"Of course."

"I guess that wasn't my unfinished business. Or... I don't know, maybe Camille was wrong."

Blaine just wrapped his other arm around him and leaned his head against Kurt's.

"At least I have you. Blaine I was so nervous when you left." Kurt said with a hitch in his voice. "I hated the thought of never seeing you again."

Blaine kissed him gently on his temple, "I feel so guilty that I'm happy I still have you."

Kurt smiled a little and pulled back from Blaine's embrace to look at him. "Don't feel guilty. You did everything I asked. It just wasn't what we thought it would be. This means I have more time with you and we can try to figure out what to do next." Kurt paused and then added nervously. "That is if you want to keep helping me. I know it isn't your responsibility or anything and-"

"Kurt." Blaine interrupted. "I will always do whatever I can to help you. We aren't giving up."

Kurt turned towards Blaine and leaned in giving Blaine's lips a slow kiss. "I hope you don't think I want to leave you." He said his nose bumped up against Blaine's. "I hate the thought of not seeing you every day. Of not being a part of your life but I can't I just can't stay here."

"Because of Sebastian?"

Kurt glanced away for a moment towards the hallway that lead to the stairs. "That is a huge part of it but that isn't all. I don't belong here anymore Blaine. I can feel it, like... like I am trespassing."

"This house is as much yours as it is mine." Blaine answered.

"No, not in this house. I feel like I'm trespassing in this world. This isn't right, this isn't what's suppose to happen after you die. I can feel it Blaine. I can't keep going like this or I'll... I don't know. I'll just fade to nothing."

Blaine shivered at the thought. "I won't let that happen."

Kurt sighed and then smiled. "Blaine, I don't know what in the universe sent you to me but I am so grateful you're here." Kurt leaned in and wrapped his arms around Blaine's neck, pressing a soft kiss to his cheek, to his forehead, to his lips.

Blaine inhaled deeply and put his arms around Kurt's back. Hands firm, fingers splayed as he kissed him back. Kurt scooted forwards until he was straddling Blaine on the couch. Kissing his lips and nipping at his ear then trailing hot kisses down his neck. Blaine tiled his head back and held on tighter until Kurt's lips reached his again and he pressed one long, hot, deep kiss to his lips and pulled away.

"I have to go now." Kurt said leaning his head against Blaine's. Every evening there came a point where Kurt would leave. He'd walk out of whatever room they were in and then disappear. Blaine wouldn't see him again until he was in the music room with Sebastian.

"Don't go." Blaine whispered.

"But I have too."

"Why?"

"I... I don't know..." Kurt answered slowly, his brows knitted in confusion. "I just have too."

"Don't" Blaine pleaded. "Just don't. Stay downstairs with me." Blaine heard a creak from upstairs, but didn't think much of it as his eyes begged Kurt not to leave.

Kurt moved off of Blaine and sat back down on the couch, face scrunched up in thought. "Okay." he eventually said and bit his lip. "Okay, I'll stay."

Something banged against a window. Blaine glanced over. It was windy outside. He turned back to Kurt and smiled. Blaine lifted one of Kurt's hands, kissing his palm. They curled up next to each other on the couch, turning some random reality TV marathon on in the background as they exchanged soft kisses.

The noise of the TV drowned out the continued quiet creaks and groans coming from somewhere in the house.

They stayed in each others' arms for a long time watching the sun going down and the lights in the house giving everything a pale glow. Kurt was trailing his fingertips up and down Blaine's arm as Blaine felt himself about to nod off when the TV started to static. The picture came back for a minute and then static again.

Blaine sat up and grabbed the remote turning the TV off.

"That's weird. I wonder-" Blaine froze as the TV turned itself back on.

Static louder than before. Blaine felt a faint tremble beneath him. He looked down to see the coffee table shaking.

"Blaine." Kurt said, his voice strained and his face scared.

"It's an earthquake." Blaine whispered. "It's California."

As if in answer to his words the lights started to flicker. Then several of the lights on the wall popped loudly, breaking the bulbs. They sparked as broken pieces of glass burst through the room with force. Blaine instinctively curled himself around Kurt who was frozen and breathing too quickly.

Then the light fixture on the ceiling in the middle of the room started to sway casting eerie shadows on the walls and the whole room started to tremble.

"Hold on to me Kurt." Blaine said. "Don't let go."

There was a loud wail somewhere in the house and doors started banging open and closed.

"Oh my god!" Kurt shouted and buried his face in Blaine's shoulder. Blaine just tightened his grip on him.

The windows started rattling and the few lights that still had light-blubs kept flickering.

Blaine heard a loud creak from the hallway, like something was moving out there. He whipped his head around expecting to see Sebastian standing there. There was nothing.

Then Kurt was pulled forcibly from his arms. Blaine looked to where Kurt use to be and then to the floor of the living room. In a matter of seconds Kurt had been dragged half-way across the room.

"Blaine!" He screamed. He was on his back as something invisible was pulling him out of the room.

Blaine scrambled after him, heart beating out of time in panic. Kurt flipped himself over onto his stomach to try to crawl away, but he was just dragged out of the room and towards the stairs.

Blaine was across the room and on his knees in a flash. He grabbed Kurt's hands trying to keep him from whatever was tugging him away. They locked eyes, Kurt's round and scared. "Don't let go." He pleaded.

Blaine was being pulled along with Kurt until he started losing his grip "Kurt!" Blaine yelled as Kurt's cold hands slipped out of his grasp.

The lights continued to flicker, doors banging and windows rattling as Blaine crawled on his hands and knees after Kurt, ignoring the broken glass as Kurt was pulled up the stairs at an inhuman speed.

Blaine sprung to his feet and ran up the stairs, stumbling in his hurry. The house was trembling and groaning at this point and Blaine saw Kurt being dragged along the floor of the hallway then pulled into the music room as the door slammed behind him.

Blaine got to the door and tried to wrench it open. It wouldn't budge. Blaine pounded on the door crying and yelling Kurt's name. He tried with all his strength to open it, but it was no use.

All the lights in the house went dark. The house grew still. All Blaine could hear was his uneven breathing and the drumming of his heart in his ears. Then the door to the music room slowly creaked opened.

Blaine stepped into the room to see the candles in place and the fireplace burning bright and the four post bed. Kurt was there and Sebastian with him.

It was quiet. Muted.

Until Kurt's shouts rang out. He was fighting against Sebastian. Not like he did every other night. Something was different. Something was off. Sebastian did everything like normal. Like an actor going through a familiar scene.

Kurt was different. It was like one moment he'd be with Sebastian and everything was as it always was. Then for a moment he'd look over at Blaine locking eyes with him.

Blaine hurried closer to the bed. Kurt looked straight at him, "Blaine!" Kurt cried out and Blaine leaped forward to help him.

Before Blaine even knew what was happening he felt a firm cold tug behind his belly button and he was forcibly dragged out of the room, Kurt screaming his name after him.

Once in the dark hall again the music room door slammed shut with a loud bang. Blaine started pounding against it until he heard the gunshot ring out.

Then with a quiet buzz the lights turned back on. Blaine was able to open the door and look into his now back to normal music room. No ghosts in sight.

Blaine backed away from the room, breath short and heart thumping madly in his chest. He leaned against the wood paneling of the hallway and sunk to the ground, where he covered his face with his hands and started to sob.
