Gossip Glee Girl

Episode 17, Chapter 1

Chapter 17

In our modern age, when you can call someone and can't find them, you can pretty much be sure they'll get the message. But if they don't call you back, it usually means they don't want to be found.

Blaine avoided Kurt's calls. He wasn't ready to speak to him just yet. He couldn't believe how easily the other boy was able to lie to him. He was constantly living in half-truths, and he didn't know if he could keep up pretending like it was okay.

Kary had really hurt him, but he knew he couldn't reach out to him again, especially after what he did in the past to Kurt. He'd been so nervous when Kurt had been receiving those packages and knowing they came from Dave Karofsky brought a sour taste to his mouth

Blaine suddenly sprung up from his bed. There was another he could reach out to for the answers that Kurt refused to share. He still had the number on his phone, although he should have deleted it months ago.

He went to send a text, but he realized it would be too easy for the other to lie. No, that wouldn't do. He needed to hear his voice.

"Blaine, wow, I thought you'd completely forgotten about me after you never called me back," the voice said smoothly.

"You can cut the niceties, Sebastian Smythe. I know who you are."

"Oh wow, Kurt finally came clean then. I'm impressed. I didn't think he had the guts. Why are you calling me then?" Sebastian asked coolly. Blaine was suddenly afraid he would lose his footing and his spot on the offensive.

"I'm going to ask the questions here," he replied sassily. "I want to know why you bumped into me back in December and what you have against Kurt."

"Okay, alright I'll tell you all about it... just, meet me at the coffee shop where we first met. I'm sentimental like that. Meet you there in an hour."

"Wait a second—" Blaine began but was interrupted as Sebastian suddenly hung up.

Blaine was struck. He didn't know what to do. Should he humor the sneaky liar? Of course, he knew he shouldn't, but unfortunately, Kurt hadn't left him with any other available options. He knew Sebastian wouldn't answer if he tried calling him again. Blaine dragged his feet, but he knew it had to be done. He was determined to get his answers.

Sebastian was seated when he got there. Blaine didn't plan on staying. He kept telling himself not to get caught up in whatever the pretty boy said. He waved at him from his chair.

"Look, I don't plan on staying long. I didn't want to come at all, but you said you'd talk. I promise that if I hear you tell me one lie, I'm leaving."

Sebastian smirked and raised his right arm.

"Scout's honor," he said and slid the curly-haired teen a grande coffee. Blaine looked at it skeptically but reluctantly sat down. He was dressed in a red Gant Rugger Ribbed cardigan over a black button-down with red pants. [Against all odds] "See that wasn't that hard. You still look as cute as the last time I saw you."

Blaine warmed and forced down a smile.

"Cut the B.S., Sebastian. I'm here to know more about Kurt and why you hate him and why you lied."

"Kurt's a bore, it was a poorly-decided vendetta. My last little crack at him at the cotillion is the last game I'm playing with him. It cost more than it was worth, believe me. He's not an interest of mine anymore. You, on the other hand, are still worth claiming."

"If your plan is to use me to get back at him, you're barking up the wrong tree. Even with everything that's happened between Kurt and I, I have no intention on cheating on him."
