If anyone asks,
I'll tell them we both just moved on
Kurt sat in his bedroom looking out the window watching Blaine drive off. He couldn't stop the tears from coming. It was like a floodgate had been opened. The last thing he wanted to do was hurt Blaine. The texts from Chandler were completely innocent. Or so he thought. It wasn't anything. Why did Blaine have to be so insecure? He wiped a few tears off his face but they kept coming anyway. It didn't make a difference to wipe them off.
Finn stood in the doorway quietly trying not to say anything. But Kurt knew he was there. He didn't turn around to face him. "Yes Finn..?" He tried to stop crying long enough to respond to his step-brother.
"Is everything okay.. with you and Blaine?"
"Yeah.." he lied.
"Okay.." He didn't believe him. "I just.. Nevermind.."
"It's fine Finn.. whatever you were going to say, go ahead."
"I just..I hope whatever this is, you can work it out..I know he makes you really happy.." he shrugged his shoulders thoughtfully.
"T-thanks..and I'm okay.." he lied again. He was becoming really good at that.
When people all stare
I'll pretend that I don't hear them talk
Kurt couldn't help but notice everyone staring at him throughout Blaine's entire rendition of 'It's not right but it's okay.' and that was the worst. Because now he realized how bad he'd hurt Blaine. Everyone had questioning looks on their faces and Blaine looked like he wanted to cry. He sat looking down at his feet wishing that they would stop looking at him.
Whenever I see you,
I'll swallow my pride
and bite my tongue
Pretend I'm okay with it all
Act like there's nothing wrong
Blaine sat through Kurt's whole performance of 'I have nothing' and tried to not cry. He tried so hard. But when he looked around the room and everyone was looking at him and wondering what he was going to do, he lost it. One blink was all it took and the dam was broken. The tears were falling down his face faster than he could wipe them off.
Sometimes he couldn't stand it. How Kurt could do this to him. Hurt him so bad by ignoring him to talk to someone else. Some guy. That he didn't even know. Blaine had said it best himself. Telling Kurt that he'd switched schools for him, and changed his whole life for him. And now he'd hurt him so easily. And was just as easily trying to win him over. And he was doing a great job of it. The song meant so much to both of them. And when it was finished Blaine forced himself to bite his lip and not say anything to Kurt. He stopped crying too. He couldn't let anyone see him like that again. He'd already done it once. He was stronger than that.
Is it over yet?
Can I open my eyes?
Is this as hard as it gets?
Is this what it feels like to really cry?
Blaine didn't ride to school with Kurt the next day. He knew he couldn't do it. He knew that if they were together he would either say something he would later regret, or he would just break down in the passenger seat of his car and not be able to stop babbling long enough to tell Kurt what was wrong. When he didn't ride with him he knew he would have to drive home alone to, and that was a completely foreign concept to him. They went home from school together every single day.
When he got in his small car and pulled out of the parking lot he looked over in the passenger side, used to talking to Kurt sitting there, when he realized he wasn't there. He had to pull the car over on a random side of the road. He put his head in his hands and began sobbing. He didn't remember crying harder than this is his whole entire life. He hadn't even cried like this after the Sadie Hawkins dance. It was because he'd told himself not to cry over a few broken bones. But he was perfectly okay with crying over a broken heart.
If anyone asks,
I'll tell them we just grew apart
Yeah what do I care
If they believe me or not.
Blaine was back on track with his brother. And just in time, because right now he needed someone to just talk to. When he pulled up skype on his computer he could see his face staring back at him from the webcam. He looked horrible. But he figured Cooper wouldn't even notice anything was wrong. As much as he did love his brother, he was bery oblivious to things going on.
When Cooper's face appeared on the screen he was smiling "Hey!"
"Hi Coop.." He forced a smile now.
"Whats going on..?" Okay, maybe he wasn't so oblivious.
Blaine shrugged his shoulders "Me and Kurt, we're not really together right now.."
"And why is that?"
"I don't know.. I guess he wasn't happy.." He sighed. He was partly telling the truth. Kurt obviously wasn't that happy because he had to talk to someone else.
"So that's it.. He just wasn't happy.. and thats the end of your story.."
"I guess.." He shrugged his shoulders. This was the first time he'd really talked about actucally ending it with Kurt. This whole time they'd been fighting he knew something had to give, but this was the first time that brekaing up had even been spoken of.
Cooper looked at Blaine with his head tilted. Blaine knew this meant he knew Blaine was lying. He knew Blaine didn't want this to be the end of him and Kurt. And that he was just suggesting that they might break up so Cooper would stop talking to him about it.
"Look Blaine, which ever way this goes.. you can talk to me..i'll listen to you either way.." He sent a sincere to smile to him through the computer screen.
"Thanks Coop.."

Blaine didn't know why he was sitting in the councelors office next to Kurt. He just wanted to leave. He didn't even want to look at Kurt, because if he did. He would be in hysterics again. When Ms Pillsbury began asking him what was wrong he started speaking immediately.
"Well, Kurt's been talking to, this guy.."
I'm talking in circles
I'm lying, they know it
Why won't this just all go away.
Then he began talking about the small things about Kurt that he would swear annoyed him. But honestly he thought they were cute. He began to talk about how Kurt sometimes slipped bronzer in his moisturizer, and he tried to act annoyed. But secretly he'd laughed the first time he caught Kurt doing it. And up until this point Kurt had no idea that he knew. But as he went in he could feel Kurt staring at him. He could tell that Kurt knew that, the things he was saying wasn't really what he was upset about.

When Blaine finally came out and told Kurt that he was so upset because Kurt couldn't wait to leave. And that he was being so distant because he wanted to know what it was going to be like without them, he felt so helpless. He felt like a little kid that depended on their parent. He felt like he would have nothing in his life when Kurt was gone. He sat infront of him pouring his heart out and telling him that he was 'the love of his life' and Kurt responded by telling him that he loved him too. And even though this had started out as a 'couples councelling' session, it was ending in Blaine feeling more loved than he ever had in his whole entire life.
He leaned into Kurt and hugged him. The second their bodies touched Blaine wrapped his arms around Kurt and squeezed him so hard. A few stray tears fell from his face and he didn't bother to stop them. Yes, he was crying, and Yes, it was over Kurt, but this was a little bit different.
