Kurt's Secret

Chapter 2

Blaine's alarm clock went off, making him snap awake and make a terrified sound. Kurt tried his best not to laugh and quickly put his book down.

Blaine got up, a small blush showing at his outburst. He grabs his clothes and gets dressed. Kurt immediately turned back to his book with wide eyes. Blaine didn't seem to care.

After about two minutes, Blaine laughed, "Oh my God, sorry, Kurt! Almost forgot you were there. I'm used to living here alone."

Kurt peeked from behind his book and nodded. He got dressed in the bathroom. Then he opened the door to grab a certain hair spray he'd forgotten to put in his cabinet the night before.

Kurt watched out of the corner of his eye as Blaine hopped around trying to put on his shoes while standing up. He tripped and fell over, making Kurt turn in his direction.

He expected Blaine to be very embarrassed, as he would be but instead Blaine was laughing uncontrollably on the floor. Kurt was almost worried before he realized he thought it was kind of funny too.

The corners of his mouth lifted into the smallest smile. Kurt looked back in the mirror, just as Blaine got up and looked at himself in the mirror in their room. He straightened out his blazer and grabbed his hair gel.

Still chuckling, he tamed his curls next to Kurt in front of the second sink in the bathroom. When they were both ready, they walked to school. There was a line for breakfast. The smells of eggs, bacon, and toast filled the room.

Blaine showed Kurt where everything was even though he refused to buy anything. Kurt followed Blaine to a table with the rest of the Warblers. There was Trent, Jon, Nick, Jeff, Wes, David, Sebastian and Thad. Blaine acted seemingly different with Sebastian. Like he bad some sort of secret hate.

They instantly started chatting like a bunch of girls. The way Kurt and his friends, Rachel and Mercedes, used to. It was sort of comforting and their conversation was interesting until he heard his name.

"So Kurt, why did you move to Dalton Academy?" Jeff asked.

Kurt tensed up, unable to speak. Blaine quickly filled in. "His dad got a new job!"

Kurt looked at Blaine curiously. Blaine looked back at him and then they both turned away quickly.

"Cool, where?" Thad asked.

"He works a-at a Tire Shop!" Blaine blurted out.

"Why don't you let him answer some of the questions?" Nick chuckled.

But Kurt didn't respond. He hadn't said a single word to a single person at Dalton Academy. Instead, he would nod or shake his head no.

Classes went by quickly for everyone but Kurt. Everyone seemed to move like robots! He was exhausted by the time they got back to their dorm.

"How was your first day?" Blaine asks.

Kurt gave a thumbs up in response. There was a silence as they stared at each other. Things were starting to get awkward before Kurt said,

"Why were you so upset last night?"

Blaine was shocked. "You speak!"

Kurt gave a questioning look. Blaine's face fell as he bit his lip. Kurt ducked his head to get a closer look at Blaine's . "Sebastian..." Blaine said. "He's just... He's not a nice guy... Always insulting people."

"I assume he insulted you?"

"Well... Not exactly... But he might as well have..."

Kurt didn't question any further. He didn't want to get mixed up in some sort of drama. Another awful thing about him. Suddenly, his arms began to itch like absolute hell.

Blaine seemed to notice Kurt struggling. "Hey, are you okay?"

Kurt nodded, longing to grab his black bag. He closed his eyes for a second and then got his book out again.

"Whatcha reading?"

"Lord of the Flies..." Kurt answered uneasily.

He unknowingly starts to scratch his arm. Blaine eventually got bored and leaves to go hang out with Nick. Kurt instantly grabbed his black bag and ran to the bathroom.

Trigger Warning

He locked the door and rolled up his sleeves. He closed his eyes, pressing the blade against his skin... The blood dripped down his arms and he watched. It seemed to run races to his elbows.

End of trigger

Kurt cleaned himself and the blades quickly before hiding the bag again. Then he flopped on his bed feeling sudden weakness. He fell asleep quickly.

***********

"Kurt, I'm sorry..."

"Mom, stop! You're not going to die! You're not gonna die!"

Kurt sobbed feeling his mother grow colder. He was flipped through time again seeing his father lifeless on the floor. He grabbed his phone and called 911. They told Kurt to give them the address.

They were in the hospital again. Burt had a heart attack. He felt the same feelings he felt when he squeezed his mother's hand for the last time.

Again, he was flipped through time and he was back at McKinney. Karovsky and Azimio were laughing and kicking him in slow motion.

Flipped through time again to where he realized he was gay. Kurt was sucked down a hole of depression.

***********

Kurt was screaming in his sleep. Blaine, Nick and Jeff were a little ways down the Hall. They neared Blaine and Kurt's dorm and began to hear the sounds of anguish.

By the time Blaine burst in, Kurt was awake rocking back and forth with his knees pulled up to his chest. He was silently crying while Blaine ran to his side.

"Kurt, oh my god! Are you okay?"

Kurt looked up at him and sniffled. There wasn't an answer. His breathing was shaky and uneven. Nick had went to get Kurt a water bottle and Jeff went with him.

"What happened?" Blaine tried again.

Kurt simply shook his head and closed his eyes. Nick arrived with the water. Kurt was refusing but Blaine insisted.

"Will you guys excuse us?"

Nick and Jeff left awkwardly. As soon as they were gone, Blaine kneeled down next to Kurt so that they were exactly the same height.

"Kurt, please tell me what happened. I want to help you."

"I-I just had a bad dream. It's nothing."

Kurt got up to fix his makeup which bad been damaged by his tears. He came back and layed down on his bed again. Blaine gave a look of pity and sat next to him.

"Look, you can talk to me. I already know a lot about your life. Just unload. It'll make you feel better."

"No!" Kurt protested. "It's fine-"

"Kurt that wasn't fine!"

"Fine, then maybe I don't want to talk about it with someone I just met!"

Blaine sighed and pulled out his phone to text his parents.

Blaine: the new kid is super closed off
