So, now that you're back, and you remember everything... what are you going to do?

[mediumdrip.livejournal.com]

Try to settle back in, I guess. [He sounds a little tired though, and there's a bit of a sigh in his voice.]

[theshortestbird.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, Blaine. I wish you had just stayed home, like normal.

[mediumdrip.livejournal.com]

It isn't completely bad. I have friends here.

[theshortestbird.livejournal.com]

I saw... you have some new friends here, right? I mean, friends who are from home who just arrived.

[mediumdrip.livejournal.com]

That's right. Rachel and Santana. They're from a timeline before me though, so they don't know that I've transferred to their school. Rachel is a really good friend of mine. Santana is... well, Santana.

[theshortestbird.livejournal.com]

...I'm sorry, I don't know any Santanas. Though if she's that interesting that her name should be enough to describe her, I kind of wish I knew her.

[mediumdrip.livejournal.com]

She's strong, beautiful and always speaks her mind. Sometimes she can cross the line, but you know she's not lying to you.

[theshortestbird.livejournal.com]

Sometimes... sometimes the truth hurts. It hurts a lot more then anything else, from what I've found. I'll have to say hi if I ever see her.

[Pauses.] ...Remember when those... never mind. Forget about it.

[mediumdrip.livejournal.com]

No, it's okay. Those what?

[theshortestbird.livejournal.com]

Those pills. I remember you were taking some. But somehow you got clean?

[mediumdrip.livejournal.com]

[And that makes Blaine freeze up. He's silent, because he doesn't trust himself to say anything right away.]

[theshortestbird.livejournal.com]

[Uh oh?] ...I know it's personal...

[mediumdrip.livejournal.com]

It was Kurt. He made he get clean.

But it's not easy. I still think of them, especially because I've been so tired lately. I just want to sleep the way that they made me sleep.

[theshortestbird.livejournal.com]

[He knows. He sleeps like the dead. He feels so good when he wakes up...]

...You're really lucky to have him around. Maybe you can try taking something to help you sleep? Or something natural to sleep, like extra melatonin.

[mediumdrip.livejournal.com]

I've been thinking I need to, but then I also think the problem isn't sleeping so much as staying awake. I'll sleep for hours and hours and it never feels like enough...

You took the pills too, didn't you?

[theshortestbird.livejournal.com]

[He's silent for a long time; it's actually hard to tell if he's still on the line, and when he comes back on, he's quiet.]

Yeah. I... I'm still taking the pills, sometimes.

[mediumdrip.livejournal.com]

[after a moment] Do you need help? Do you want to get clean?

[theshortestbird.livejournal.com]

...No. It's not that I don't want to be clean. I want to be, and I should. [Pauses.]

I just. I like being happy. Is that so bad?

[mediumdrip.livejournal.com]

I think it might be important to find something else that makes you happy.

[theshortestbird.livejournal.com]

I think you're right. [Laughs softly.]

I just... it's kind of a difficult situation, right now. But I'm making sure to check myself, and if anything happens, I'll go straight to the hospital.

[mediumdrip.livejournal.com]

Have you thought of going anyway?

[theshortestbird.livejournal.com]

[A long pause before he huffs out a sigh.]

I can't talk about why I can't go right now. But I can't go right now.

[mediumdrip.livejournal.com]

That's okay. It's not my place to pry, okay?

[theshortestbird.livejournal.com]

...Thanks. One day I'd like to share, but, for now, it's better if you don't know.
