A/N: Hi everyone. This is my first story ever. I have been reading Klaine fanfiction for quite sometime but the trigger that made me write is a story by liz-lol entitled, "Papers and Memories". I just cant help but felt that Kurt in that story was hurt in a lot of ways, especially by Blaine that I cant help but be inspired to write something specially after I read the sad ending of that story.

 

Anyway, if you wanted to know more, please check out liz-lols story, it is amazing and heartbreaking at the same time.

 

Since this is my first story, please take note that while it is loosely based on "Papers and Memories", this will create a world of its own. So even if you did not read PAM, you will still understand this story.

 

This story is Unbetad and English is not my primary language, so please be kind with my grammar and all. Anyone willing to be my beta, please PM me.

 

Anyway Enjoy.

 

*I do not own anything aside from the OC characters and this story.

 


 

Prologue: Beginning and End

 

I still remember both days.

 

How could I not when it is the two most important days of my life. One represents the beginning of a fairy tale and the other, how tragically it ended.

 

When you met the love of your life, all you think about is how perfect everything is going to be. Well thats what most love story ever written said. Thats what most ballads and sonnets said. Hell, thats what I often said in my mind when I was foolish enough to dream of love… the perfect love.

 

And for a time I did have it.

 

I met him during my sophomore year in college. It was a cloudy morning and I decided to explore the streets that I still havent known. Ive been in New York for a year now, but havent got the chance to explore the city. Looking back one would think it is probably unwise when it suddenly rained, but I never regretted anything that happened that day, not even my McQueen jacket that I sacrificed when it down poured.

 

Because that day, I met him.

 

He was a barista in a coffee shop that I quickly entered into when the rain did not stop. I was there all ruffled and soaked from the rain and he was there with all his sunshine smile and puppy dog eyes. I remembered just standing there and just mesmerized by how handsome he is. I knew I was blushing, but come on, if you saw my husband… well my ex-husband, you will say the same thing.

 

He offered me a towel, got us a coffee and we talked. The coffee shop is empty. No one is stupid enough to go out when they noticed its cloudy, well except me.

 

We talked for hours. And I remember that I just smiled the whole time. When the rain stopped I decided to go and he frowned for a second then gave me that sunshine smile of his.

 

Once I am a few steps out of the shop I realized I didnt get his name, and something in me knew that if I did not get it now, that I will regret it forever. I turned around and there he was with the shy smile on his face.

 

"Umm… I just... I know, this sounds crazy and you might not even like me, but… umm… its just we had an amazing time- I mean I have, I am not in the position to assume that you do-"

 

"I enjoyed myself" I couldnt help but to cut him off, he is just so nervous and yapping away. I smiled as I found him adorable.

 

He smiled shyly again, with a small blush on his face, "O-Oh great! T-Thats fantastic, I am so happy that… D-Do you want to go out with me sometime?" he said nervously.

 

My smile got bigger, "Yes"

 

"Great…T-thats great" he smiled that sunshine smile of his. "By the way, Im Blaine, Blaine Anderson"

 

"Nice meeting you Blaine, Im Kurt…Hummel."

 

After that day, I have entered the Blaine-land and I have the most fantastic ride. We went out on a few dates; had a fantastic first kiss and an even more fantastic sex. We had met each others families and was accepted and loved by each one.

 

We were inseparable. We were young and in love. The deep, soul-sucking, stupid, shit-eating, crazy, passionate kind.

 

We were together for a year and a half before we decided to finally tie the knot. And it was the happiest moment of my life. Every day after that was filled with love and happiness. A love that consume and suffocate you, but one that you cannot let go because your heart will shatter and broke if you do.

 

Blaine, simply put, just made me happy. He made me feel love and complete. Every day is heaven.

 

Then reality happened.

 

I never know where it went wrong. If youre going to ask me, there is not one single moment that I can point out that leads to this, me and my husband signing our life away.

 

If you asked us, we will give you different reasons as to why our marriage is a complete mess.

 

Blaine said its because I was envious of his success, of his money. That I am clingy and a failure in my own life. That I was dragging him down.

 

I would have said that yes its because of his success and money; but not because I am jealous. I know I am a failure in a lot of ways while having a little to no money and chasing foolish, childhood dreams. And I accepted that to an extent. But I was never jealous of his success nor his money. He can have all the money he wanted…

 

I just wanted his time and attention.

 

If I am clingy, then so be it, but hes my husband! I demand to talk to him more than an hour a day. I demand to see him more than when he kissed me in the morning to go to work, and during my sleep-induced mind when he went back to bed. I wanted to go on dates. I wanted to spend time with my husband and not just watch him go to work, and work even more on the weekends and holidays. I wanted to have conversations, to just be silly and have fun. I wanted to have passion and heat and not just some half-hearted pecks. I wanted him to introduce me to his co-workers and include me in conversations and be mindful when I got hurt when one guy or another tries to flirt with him as they are blinded by his success. I wanted to cook for him and surprise him with a home-cooked candlelit dinner, without having to wait until the candle consumes itself and the food turned cold, and only receiving a text saying that hes sorry but he is stuck in another meeting.

 

But most of all, I just wanted my husband back.

 

After constant arguments and fights; after all the yelling and hurtful words; after claims of affairs, some are true and some are not; after hours upon hours with a marriage counselor; after months of trying to patch all the wounds that surely are too big to heal, we decided to quit.

 

And here is where our five year marriage ends.

 

We are now at our final proceeding. Both of our attorneys are with us, reading us the final terms of our divorce. Blaine is there, and all this time, I cant help but think how handsome he still is, but the sunshine smile and the puppy-eyes are gone. Instead he has this serious frown and blank stare on his face. And I cant help thinking how I will give everything to see him smile again to me one last time.

 

The presiding officer suddenly speaks, "As a final part of this proceeding, I, together with your lawyers will step out of this room to give you your final moments as husbands"

 

"Is that really necessary?" Blaine spoke harshly, and the tone hurt me so I snap back.

 

"Cant wait to get this over with either!" He glares at me and smirks, "You have no idea"

 

"Gentlemen, this is our final proceeding, and the few minutes is part of the divorce protocols. Now, it wouldnt hurt for you to be civil with each other for old times sake" the presiding officer said as he stands up with our lawyers and leave the room.

 

The door shuts and there is palpable silence inside the room. I look at my hands while trying to find something to say, a few minutes passed when—

 

"You should probably sleep and eat after this." My eyes suddenly focus on him and my heart broke just a little bit more when I see those hazel eyes softened. "Please take care of yourself" he said with a sad smile on his face.

 

I feel tears form on my eyes, but I refuse to let it go.

 

"Thank you…Blaine I-"

 

"I loved you, you know" that statement makes my tear fall as I look at him. The look he gave me seemed so final, like it was really the end.

 

"I loved you too" I said. My words are failing me as my hand starts shaking. Suddenly a hand reaches mine and I gasp. Blaine is holding my hand.

 

"I know this process hurts us both, it still is hurting us, but at the very least, I want you to know that I have loved you, but now we have to let go… for us." He said with finality. I took a deep breath and finally look on his eyes and say the final words that will put a dot on our marriage, "Ok".

 

After one final squeeze, Blaine let go of my hand. It isnt long before the officer goes back with our lawyers and we sign the papers that ends everything. Blaine stands up and immediately left. I composed myself and left the room as well.

 

I thought it was my final heartbreak from Blaine. I didnt know I will experience the final blow that will break my heart furthermore.

 

I see Blaine standing near the exit on the phone and hear the words that hurt me more for some reason.

 

"Baby, Kurt and I are finally divorced. Ill meet you at the office to take you out. We have to celebrate. Ok, I love you baby" He drops the call, and I run. I run away from the building, wondering why my heart is breaking despite being released a few hours ago.

 

"Shit!"

 

That is the last thing I heard from him as I ran away from it all.

 


 

A/N: So what do you think? Shall I continue?
