Let Me Be Your Missing Puzzle Piece

Chapter 5

The mild storm had completely blown over by the time Jeff had reached the Anderson's residence; the inside of the house appeared to be in darkness, with the only source of light beaming from an upstairs window on the far side of the house.

He knew which room the light belonged to, as he had been over the ex-warbler's house a few times over the previous summers. Jeff was just thankful his friend was in; throughout the duration of the journey he couldn't help have a feeling that he might have been over at Kurt's or another of the New Direction's houses. For once he had proved this gut feeling wrong.

Taking one last look in the mirror, Jeff attempted to fix his hair before stepping out of the car and making his way up the drive. He had no idea what time it was; surely it couldn't be that late, it had just started getting dark about ten minutes ago which meant Blaine would just be sat upstairs studying or chatting to others over skype. This made it the perfect time to be having a heartfelt conversation with his good friend.

Jeff quickly rang the doorbell; clearing his throat and fixing up his appearance as he waited for the small curly haired boy to come down and answer, hoping he wouldn't be too busy to offer the blonde some advice and catch up over a bit of chat.

After a few minutes or so, Jeff could hear footsteps followed by rustling coming from the downstairs. He prepared himself for the probably unusual greeting he was about to receive as he heard the turning of the key in the front door, followed by the creaking of the old wood as the door swung open, revealing a slightly dishevelled looking Blaine.

"Jeff!" the smaller boy cried, immediately pulling the blonde into a big bear hug

"Haven't seen you in a while, how are you dude?"

"Ah i'm okay, how're you doing?" Jeff replied, even though deep down he was not okay and that was in fact the reason why he was standing here at this very minute.

"Mm not bad" Blaine said whilst scratching the back of his neck and directing his gaze up at the taller boy "So...what brings you here?"

"Er..well I was wondering if I could come in" Jeff said looking sheepishly at the other boy "I..kinda need to talk to you...about something"

Blaine understood and immediately stepped aside to allow the blonde warbler inside. He knew that whatever Jeff had come to talk to him about must be important as the taller boy would usually just text or skype him to let him know what was on his mind; he had a feeling that now though it wasn't going to be about how much homework the boy had or how bad the food at Dalton was.

"Here i'll make you a coffee" Blaine said closing the door behind him "I'm just upstairs, so go on right up"

Jeff nodded and began kicking of his shoes before making his way up the large staircase to the ex-warbler's bedroom.

He could hear music playing from the TV as he made his way along the landing and nearer to the room. Blaine must be watching a movie, he thought as he pushed the door open slightly and made his way in to the bedroom.

"Who was it babe?" a tall brunette boy said as he rolled over to face the figure standing at the door, a look of surprise washing over his face as he realised it was Jeff.

"Oh Jeff, I-I'm sorry, I didn't realise it was you" Kurt smiled as he got up from his spot on the bed

"It's fine, I didn't realise you were here" Jeff replied, returning a smile to the brunette.

"Yeah, me and Blaine are having a bit of a movie night, it's been a bit of a long day and, you know, we just needed something to help us, unwind" Kurt said motioning to the TV that was now playing a scene from Wicked.
