He was scared for Blaine. He didn't want him to feel alone. He didn't want him to feel pain. He didn't want Blaine to feel the things that weren't good for him, but Kurt couldn't stop it, and he knew he couldn't, that's what made it even harder leaving Blaine this time.
Then his mind pushed aside those thoughts, looked up from his desk and took his phone of the table to type in Blaine's number. He was doing nothing at work, and hardly anyone was around, so he may as well take a Blaine break.
"So, what do we get when we find these two numbers on the table, find one on the y axis and the other on the x…" the bell rang cutting of Mr Evans speaking. The students got up as fast as they could, grabbing their books and throwing them in their bags before running out the door.
"Don't forget about your homework tonight, guys." Mr Evans said even though half the class was already gone.
Sam and Blaine were still putting their books in their bags. When they finally had their books in, they headed out the door.
"Dude, I can't do that homework." Sam said serious and Blaine just chuckled.
"Sam, you didn't even try yet. No wait; you don't even know what the homework is."
"It is maths, I can never do it. It's like, what's the point; I am never going to need it."
"How do you know? Besides maths is fun. It gets the brain working." Blaine said happily still walking as Sam stopped. Blaine nodded. Sam wasn't beside him anymore and turned around to Sam, who was smirking at him.
"What? Why are you looking at me like that?" Blaine asked clueless as he adjusted his bag strap on his shoulder.
"You only started taking an interest that much in maths, when we got Mr Evans two months ago." Sam pointed at Blaine as he walked towards him. "Blaine has a crush on Mr Evans." Sam sang.
"I do not. " Blaine turned away and headed to the choir room as Sam smirked behind him.
Blaine's phone started ringing. He took it out of his pocket and grinned when he saw who it was.
"If this is anyone, but Kurt Hummel, I did not just answer."
"Um, it's a good thing it's me then." Kurt chuckled. "How's my favourite boy doing?"
"He's good. On the way to Glee practice while Sam stalks me."
"We are going the same direction." Sam said from a few steps behind Blaine.
"Oh you love that, Blaine." Kurt said as they both laughed. "Really though, are you okay?"
Blaine entered the choir room and took a seat in the front row. Sam hadn't come in yet.
"Sweetie I'm fine. I promise. How are you?" Blaine was telling the true. Today was a good day. The first week Kurt had gone back to New York, he was honestly scared. What if something happened with his parents and he wouldn't be able to just drive over to see Kurt and fall into Kurt's arms.
His parents were on their way to accepting he wanted to marry Kurt and he had told them just because their engaged doesn't mean they're getting married anytime soon. He hadn't said anything more to them about it and that's the way he wanted it to stay for a while. They were on their way to accepting it, and that was good enough for Blaine. Blaine and his father had, had moments since New Year's Day where Blaine had to leave the room when it was just him and his dad. He loved his dad, but telling him about the engagement that day, had opened memories Blaine tried to forget. One day, he hoped for those memories to be a blur, but for now he would work through them.
"Okay, I believe you. But remember to always tell me if anything's wrong." After Blaine had agreed, Kurt had started telling him about his day so far. They had been on the phone for just over fifteen minutes before they hung up.
Before Blaine could look around him to see no one was in the room everyone entered.
"Where were all you guys?" Blaine asked as he looked to everyone coming in.
"Outside the door. Don't worry we weren't listen to your conversation. That's why we all waited till you were done, so you could talk in private to, Kurt." Marley said sweetly as she took a seat next to Tina.
"Yeah, I stopped them from coming in and made them listen to my impressions." Everyone laughed before Mr Shuce entered the classroom and started talking.
"Hey, I'm I still heading over to yours after school?" Sam asked Blaine.
"Yeah and Sam?"
"Yeah?"
"Thank you." Sam gave a nod to show he understood and gave a bright smile.
"Rachel, stop. I really don't know what I'm going to do. I love working at vogue. Maybe I was never meant to go to NYADA. I'm happy where I am." Kurt said as he and Rachel walked through the streets of New York.
"I find that very hard to believe, Kurt. Not about Vogue, but about NYADA. What is it? Blaine applied for there and a few other college's here. Are you scared that he doesn't get in and you will? Or the other way around." Rachel was confused, she just wanted to understand why Kurt didn't want to try and get into NYADA again.
Kurt stopped in the middle of the busy street and so did Rachel. She turned and looked to him.
"Why would I be scared if Blaine got in? Rachel if he really wants to get in then I hope to god he does because he deserves it. Whatever college he gets into he deserves it. I just don't know what I want to do, okay. I feel lost. Yes, I have a job in Vogue, yes I still want to be in Broadway, but I don't know what road to go, what way to do it." Kurt let out a sigh and looked as people rushed by them. "In high school I knew what I wanted. I had to, because the dream of being here in New York kept me alive. Now I'm away from Lima and I don't have to worry about high school anymore, I'm worried about what to do next."
"But it's always been your dream to be on Broadway and…"
"Rachel it's not that easy, okay. The only thing I am sure of is spending my life with, Blaine."
Rachel thinks she gets it now, she hopes she does.
"You're scared to try. You're scared to be told you're not good enough and the dream that kept you fighting all these years isn't there anymore because you were told you weren't good enough." Rachel took a step forward to Kurt and looked him in the eyes; she had never looked more serious. "Just because you didn't get in to NYADA doesn't mean anything. There are billions of people in this world, Kurt. Just because one person says you're not good enough, doesn't mean they're right. You just have to find the people that do know you're more than good enough. You are one of those people Kurt, so am I, so is Blaine, and your dad, so is so many people in this world. And you don't think of that, you just think of the people that don't think you're good enough and you need to stop that. You're going to make it, no matter how long, how much pain you take, how much you feel like giving up, one day, Kurt…one day you will get there."
"I love you so much Rachel Berry, you know that?" Kurt smiled as he eyes got watery.
"I love you to Kurt Hummel." Rachel gave a big smile to Kurt and looped her arm through Kurt's as they started to walk again.
"Do you want a hot chocolate? I think you deserve one after that speech." Kurt chuckled.
"Oh please, Kurt I deserve an award after that." She half joked, half being serious. "But yes, I'd love one. If you were straight you would be the perfect boyfriend for me."
"Well, thank god I'm not then. Besides I'm taking by the most amazing guy ever."
"Alright, don't rub it in. You already have the guy Kurt…now, you just need to find that dream you know for sure you want, and keep fighting for it and to never let it go."
