Chapter 3: We Almost Did It

Blaine started crying as his mother pulled him into the house by his ear.

"Get in here and stop crying like a little pussy!" Blaine's mother screamed as the smell of alcohol poured out of her mouth. Blaine ran upstairs to his room. He slammed, locked, and sat up against the door. His mother started hammering the door with her fist.

"Let me in there now Blaine!" She yelled as she tried to break the door down.

"NO!" Blaine screamed.

Blaine's mother gave up after 10 minuets of yelling. Blaine sat on the floor and bawled as Kurt tried to text him over and over again. He was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say. Kurt was worried the next day when Blaine didn't show up. After school he went to Blaine's house. Of course he double checked that his mom's car wasn't in the driveway. When he knocked on the door Blaine answered.

"I don't want any pamphlets…" Blaine started to say while opening the door.

"I'm not here to give you any pamphlets." Kurt said once the door was completely open and he could she the distraught look on Blaine's face.

Blaine didn't know what to say. He just stood in the door way and looked down at his slipper covered feet.

"Can I come in?" Kurt asked.

"I guess." Blaine said sounding unsure.

Blaine let Kurt in and just kept looking down at his feet. They both stood awkwardly in the vestibule of Blaine's house.

"What's wrong Blaine?" Kurt questioned.

Blaine's eyes started watering and he busted out crying. He fell to the floor and just sat in the fetal position crying so hard he couldn't say a word. Kurt sat on the floor and held him tightly.

"Please stop crying Blaine." Kurt said as his eyes too started to get teary.

"I-I-I can't." Blaine managed to get out.

Blaine started to calm himself in the arms of Kurt. Kurt got Blaine up off the floor and led him upstairs to where he figured Blaine's room was. His door was covered in holes where his mother had pounded on it. Once in Blaine's room he took him to the bed and laid him down. Kurt sat on the side of the bed an stroked his hair and face. Blaine finally stopped crying and just laid in the bed with his eyes locked on Kurt's face.

"Now tell me what's wrong." Kurt said.

"It just everything. My mom. My life. I just don't know what to do anymore." Blaine answered.

"I can help you Blaine, all you have to do is ask." Kurt explained.

"How?" Blaine asked.

"We'll figure it out together." Kurt said smiling.

Blaine smiled back. Kurt crawled into bed with Blaine and just held him in his arms. After Blaine had fallen asleep Kurt stuck out and left a note on Blaine's bed side table.

"Til tomorrow my love 3"

Blaine awoke to Kurt's absence and note. Smiling he went to get a drink from the fridge in the kitchen. His mother was making dinner on the stove. Blaine tried to sneak to the sink but she saw him.

"Blaine!" His mother said running towards him with her arms wide open.

Blaine reject her hug and ran upstairs leaving her open-armed in the kitchen looking like she was going to cry. The feeling of empowerment from rejecting his mother and the comfort of Kurt's visit gave him a new found courage. He walked over to his laptop and logged onto Facebook. He went to edit his profile and ran the mouse over the "interested in" option and after 5 minuets of thinking about it clicked the "Men" option. After saving his settings he got himself ready for the bashing, but to his surprise 10 people liked it. Kurt was the first. A second after he changed it a text message came in from Kurt.

( I'm so proud of you : ) )

Blaine started to get nervous for school the next day but he knew Kurt would be right by his side. His nervousness got more intense when a text message appeared on his phone. From James.

James : WTF MAN?! You're GAY!

Blaine didn't really know what to say back. He got scared he would get beat up at school, but he answered.

Blaine: Yea. You got a problem with that?!

James: No…. I was just wondering if it was true.

Blaine: Well it is.

James: Oh. Ok that's cool.

After scaring James off his case he started getting ready for bed….. later that night Kurt came knocking at his front door. When he answered it Kurt planted a big kiss on his lips and led him outside.

"What are you doing here?" Blaine asked.

"I have a celebratory surprise for you." Kurt answered.

Kurt led Blaine into his house three doors down and into the back yard. There was a picnic with candles set up.

"Aw." Blaine said getting a little teary.

Kurt led to the blanket on the ground where he had everything set up. Laid out was a nice chicken parmesan dinner. After eating they laid back and stared at the stars. In each other arms, they smiled at each other.

"This is just perfect." Blaine said to Kurt.

"Not just yet it isn't." Kurt said starting to kiss Blaine.

Kurt climbed on top of Blaine continued kissing him. Blaine started to kiss back while taking off Kurt's shirt. Just as Blaine started taking off his shirt Kurt's back door opened.

"Kurt are you out there?"

It was Kurt's mom.
