- chapter 21

Last time on Run Away, Blaine says Kurt gave him hickeys by accident making them both leave the group breakfast early in embarrassment. They then decide they have to do something on their last day together for a while since they both want to get back together but they are scared since they are both busy. Kurt gives Blaine a present to open in the plane home before they go separate ways. That's what you missed on Run Away.

It is four in the morning when Blaine's alarm goes off. He grunts before getting away under the warm covers. His hair is all over the place but Blaine decides he won't put gel in it. It's just a flight back from Milan to New York, not some red carpet. 'What are you wearing?' Rachel shows up behind Blaine who just has put on the same clothes as Kurt had given him the day before. 'It's not like we are going to some red carpet show,' Blaine tries defending himself. 'Blaine, you are trending on twitter! People are literally going to show up a the airport in the hope to catch a glimpse of you,' Rachel says. 'People want to see me?' Blaine says, feeling too tired to actually think it through. 'Someone filmed Kurt explaining the name of his line and it went viral. Every single fashion lover knows who you are, and Milan is filled with them at the moment. Besides that, someone spotted you and Kurt yesterday at some coffee place,' She continues. Rachel is dressed in the same outfit as she had for Kurt's show. 'I'll fix my hair and put something else on,' Blaine says before pushing Rachel out of the door. 'You have ten minutes before i come back in!'

Kurt wakes up by yelling outside of his room. 'I want those pictures gone off the internet by noon!' Kurt tries to ignore it until he can hear a knock on the door. 'Isabelle, what brings you here this early?' Before Kurt had opened the door he had checked the time, thirteen past six in the morning. 'Some barista guy named Oliver decided it was fun to leak a picture of you and Blaine together. We are going to sue him and we will have the picture gone soon,' Isabelle says calmly. 'That mother fucker,' Kurt says angrily, grabbing his phone. 'Don't try, their flight left about ten minutes ago,' a sleepy Juniper comes out of the room next door. Kurt opens his phone to see a lot of messages from Blaine and some people tagging him all over Twitter and Instagram. Apparently Rachel and Blaine had some company at the airport. Blaine is trending on Twitter and a lot of fashion fans saw a video of me explaining what my line ment,' Kurt says, trying to read all messages as fast as he can, 'Oh and some crazy fan stole Blaine's shoe,' Kurt snickers. 'We pulled some strings and got them some security before things got out of hand,' Isabelle stops for a second, 'Further out of hand.' Juniper yawns and walks back into her room. 'How late do we need to get ready?' Kurt asks. 'You gotta arrive around two, you know how much time you need then yourself,' Isabelle says.

After a wild morning for Rachel and, mostly, Blaine they get into the plane safely. 'They stole my shoe Rachel. My shoe,' Blaine says, still in shock, once they get to their seats. 'You get that if you want to be a star,' Rachel says. 'I want to become known as a broadway actor! Not because some designer may or may not be my ex-boyfriend,' Blaine says frustrated. This morning has really taken it's price on Blaine's good mood, 'I love Kurt with all my heart and i am so proud of him but that isn't how i want to be known.' Rachel pats his shoulder. 'It's just to much at once, i didn't expect i'd have attention from people before starting on Broadway,' Blaine says. 'It'll be fine, you are going to shine on that stage and people will have to know you as Blaine Anderson, the guy who played in Hamilton, not as Blaine Anderson, the guy who dated a designer,' Rachel reassures Blaine. 'Oh, i almost forgot,' Blaine takes the small present Kurt had given him the night before out of his bag. 'What's that?' Rachel asks curiously. 'Kurt gave it to me yesterday before we said goodbye, said i couldn't open it until we were on the plane home,' Blaine slowly starts unwrapping the paper, revealing a silk black box. In it a necklace. Blaine picks up the necklace to get a clearer look at it. On it is a small silver plate thats says "I won't be gone.. K.H.". 'I have seen Kurt wear a bracelet similar to that,' Rachel says, 'But it had B.A., those three dots first, after those it said something like,' she tries to continue but Blaine interrupts her, 'On the day that the dance is over?' Rachel smiles and nods. 'Kurt must really love that song to use it on everything he gives me,' Blaine smiles. The anger from the hour before has disappeared like snow in the spring sun. 'When did you show it to him?' Rachel asks, trying to look interested in Blaine's music as if she has never seen his lyrics. 'I never did, he heard me sing it with Juniper this one time. I have no idea how he got my lyrics,' Blaine says. 'I do know how,' Rachel says with a big smile, 'Kurt needed inspiration and you had left for rehearself before me so i put good use into that situation,' she says smiling from ear to ear. Nothing made Rachel more happy then see her friends happy. 'I never asked before but since you did something behind my back i think i have the right to ask, what is going on between you and Jesse? You are almost always with him,' Blaine says, his face going serious. 'I wish i knew, i like spending time with Jesse, but i can't forget about Finn,' Rachel says. 'Moving on isn't forgetting him. There are multiple ways to not forget him but still move on, your tattoo for example,' Blaine says. 'How do you know about that?' Rachel asks, eyes widened. 'You walk around the apartment in your underwear like the whole time, how could i not know,' Blaine laughs. 'Talk to Jesse when we get back, moving on isn't forgetting.'

It is three in the afternoon when Kurt's phone starts buzzing. 'I have to take this call, it is my dad,' He says and Isabelle nods that he can go. Kurt walks outside and sits down on the bench right outside the venue. 'Hey dad, what's up? Dad, slow down, think about your heart,' Kurt says. 'You have what?' Kurt heard his dad but he can't believe it. 'I am coming home right now. No dad, you have cancer this stupid show can fuck off. Dad, i won't stay here or in New York for some stupid fashion or broadway show when you have cancer,' Kurt pauses for  bit and listenes to his dad talk. 'Dad i do not care that Carol is also there, and no Rachel and Blaine having their first show doesn't matter for me at all now. Fine! Just keep me updated,' Kurt hangs up before letting his dad say another word. 'That sounded pretty heated,' Sebastian says. Tears start streaming down his face, 'My dad has cancer, he wants me to stay here and go to Blaine's show on saturday either way.' Sebastian pulls Kurt into a hug. 'He'll keep you updated right?' Kurt nods. 'Then if things go bad, you can always go back to Lima,' Sebastian says. 'Hey, we have a break now. What's going on?' Juniper says walking outside. 'Burt has cancer,' Sebastian says. Juniper quickly sits down next to Kurt and Hugs him tight. 'He told you to stay here, didn't he?' she says. 'Of course he did, you know what he is like,' Kurt says. 'I also know that he would keep you posted if things got worse. Kurt's phone starts buzzing again, this time it's a text from Blaine. 'It's Blaine, he says he misses you and he wants to thank you for the necklace,' Juniper says, she picked up Kurt's phone that he had dropped earlier. 'What necklace?' She asks, clearly confused. 'Juniper you seriously have the brain of a goldfish,' Kurt laughs softly. 'Those are actually pretty smart, so thank you,' Juniper says. 'So, the necklace,' Sebastian says. 'I had a necklace and a bracelet made,' Kurt holds out his wrist, 'I gave him a necklace that said "I Won't Be Gone, K.H." with three dots. My bracelet has three dots and then says "B.A. On The Day That The Dance Is Over".'Kurt explains. 'Wait, i know those lyrics but i can't remember from what,' Juniper says, trying to come up with where she heard it before. 'You heard them something like this,' Kurt softly starts singing. 'Cleaning up the confetti, it's an empty room. Plastic cups in the corner. Many times you have carried me, higher then i could reach, but this time you're on my shoulders,' Juniper smiles before singing along, 'And while there's something to talk about, and while there's something to say. I promise you, i won't be gone, on the day that the dance is over i will be your song. Keep holding on, on the day that the dance is over, i will be your song.' Kurt smiles and thinks about better times that are ahead, but also the scary times ahead. All he hoped was to have these people around him for as long as possible.
