"Blaine," someone spoke. "Blaine, wake up!"
The slim boy who was sprawled out on the sofa woke up, confused as to where he was. He soon realised when he saw his sister towering over him, and a sad Kurt sat on another chair. He slowly sat up, continuing to look around the room, seeing Quinn now next to Rachel and Hunter with Sebastian trying to relax Kurt.
Blaine hadn't thought how much his imprisonment would affect the boy he cared so much about.
Then he realised, after Kurt and Chandler's breakup Kurt had relapsed. He'd tried to help him through it, but what if Kurt had relapsed again? What if he caused it? All these thoughts began to fill his head, he didn't know what he was supposed to do.
"Blaine?" It was Hunter. "Hey, are you alright? You look like you've just seen a ghost."
"Erm, oh sorry. I just zoned out I guess." Blaine replied as though he wasn't sure himself.
Kurt’s pov
I knew that look. He was hiding something. Something important. Probably something to do with the case. I mean surely he didn't lie to the police, did he?
I tried to distract myself, and yet I never seemed to be able to redirect my thoughts. If he had lied to the police he'd probably have to serve time anyway, depending on the lie.
I sat back on the sofa and listened to the conversations unfold.
"Right," Rachel started (as per usual), "Santana is coming back this afternoon. She's just letting everyone get settled for now. But that doesn't mean we can't start the investigation or at least put together everything we know."
"How about I go first?" Sebastian asked, storming across the room to where Rachel still stood next to a whiteboard.
"Okay, so some bitch framed Blaine. We were all drunk so they knew the police wouldn't be able to do shit with out alibis and they lured Blaine into the woods. That's the only explanation for this bull crap!"
Hunter calmly walked over to his boyfriend, wrapping his arms around Sebb's back and fitting his chin in the crook of the others neck.
How had I never noticed how everyone else had been affected? Was I really that blind?
Hunter softly whispered into Sebastian's ear, "Hey, shh. Sebby it's okay, we're going to find out what happened. You should of told me you felt like this bubs. You know I worry about you."
"That's exactly why I didn't say anything. I don't want you to worry baby."
"I'll always worry, no matter what." Hunter kissed Sebastian on the head as they went to sit back down.
Everyone else was slightly on edge, but secretly glad some realism had been brought back into the question.
"Let's go around the room so we can each recall that night, okay. At least then there might be some sort of overlap between facts." Quinn stated, yet again being the reasonable one.
"I'll start," she continued, "Rach and I were sat, we'd only had a few drinks, and were beginning to get drunk. Everyone seemed happy, cuddled with their significant other. I guess Blaine heard something, but he walked off into the woods, saying he'd be back shortly. It must have been at least half an hour until he came back."
"Okay," Rachel now began to add, "The only thing I can add to that is I think I heard shouting in the woods. I know there's other houses that way, so I assumed there was a party going on I guess. But now I think about it, maybe not?"
Quinn scribbled down notes on the whiteboard as her girlfriend spoke.
"Me next!" Hunter raised his hand like a school boy. "So Sebby Boo and I were cuddled under a blanket, looking at the stars, it was perfect. Too perfect now I think about it. I heard a few twigs snap behind us. Deer are always in the woodland around there, but someone could have been there maybe?"
Sebastian sat more upright, "Yeah, could that of been Chandler?"
A few of the group nodded, and Quinn wrote it down with a large question mark next to it. That was a good start. Hopefully Santana would be able to help them answer some of there questions later.
For now, all they could do was continue gathering information from each other.
"My turn, I suppose." Kurt said, looking nervous. Blaine smiled reassuringly at him before he started. "We were sat together, it was nice, really nice. Everything was in place, the day had been amazing."
Blaine's pov
Why is he lying? Has he really not told anyone else about what went down at the hospital? I guessed not, it surprised me. I listened carefully as he took in a deep breath.
"B- he kept looking behind at something. I asked what it was but he said he didn't know. It kept bothering him, so he got up to check it out. I offered to go with him, but he just told me to stay in the warmth. He kissed my head and ruffled my hair then left. He wasn't back for 47 minutes 21 seconds."
Oh my god. He can't even say my name. But he counted how long I'd been gone for? I looked up after staring at my hands. They were all just as shocked as me.
This was going to be hard, but I was never the one who needed saving.
"Blaine, you're up."
