Sebastian was 15 years old when his mother died. He remembered not even being sad about her passing. He was just disappointed in her.

He had looked up to her, she was strong, she had had problems with smoking and drugs and was working to stop. She had stopped at home and Sebastian thought she had overcome it. 

Then came the cheating, she would sleep with men she met at bars. After getting in a big fight with Sebastian's father, she went back to drugs again.

Sebastian's mother was completely broken by the time Sebastian was 10. She quit her job and relied on her husband's money to buy drugs and alcohol. 

When Sebastian's father banned her from buying anything without his consent, his mother had started stealing.

She became sly, sneaky, and seductive. She did whatever she could to get what she wanted. And unfortunately, Sebastian had the same traits as his mother.

When Sebastian was 14, his father filed for divorce and his mother officially broke. 

Before she died she went on a huge shopping-spree and used up a lot of her husband's money.

To this day, Sebastian still didn't know how she managed to do that.

Sebastian's mother passed away from an overdose, leaving Sebastian and his father struggling.

Sebastian's father had a pretty good job that paid a lot but after his wife's passing, he was so flustered that he ended up being let go because of the lack of work he had done. Sebastian's father was eventually able to pull himself together and found another job that paid less.

Unfortunately, his new job forced him to travel all around the United States during most of the year. Sebastian was sent to live in Paris for a while, giving his dad his time to figure things out. His father was able to borrow enough money from his relatives to be able to send Sebastian to Dalton Academy. 

Sebastian's father didn't have enough money to send him to the dorm's full time so most of the time he was forced to be home alone. Sebastian didn't have a job and he had to rely on seduction to get money from people. 

Because of Sebastian's past circumstances, he was a cruel person at Dalton. His only influence had been his mother who was a sneaky, elusive, liar. Sebastian's greatest fear was becoming his mother but he felt like he was going down that path.

That's why he needed Blaine. He needed someone who we could trust and who would love him unconditionally. 

Maybe the reason why he hated Kurt so much was that his dad was always there and his mom was a good person. Sebastian was like Kurt, but Kurt was much better. He was nicer and more likeable and he could never beat Kurt in that aspect. Kurt was everything Sebastian wanted to be, and he hated him for that.

Sebastian suddenly felt so much rage for the boy he was texting, he flung his phone on his bed and slumped down against the wall. 

Why did nothing go right for him? He wanted to hate Kurt but he just couldn't. There was something stopping him from hating him altogether. Sebastian groaned and dejectedly picked up his phone to start typing again.

ian: that's funny actually. my mom died when I was 15.

kurt: oh my god I'm so sorry.

ian: it's fine. we have so much in common though.

kurt: wait, are you lying about your mom dying just so you could make that point?

ian: god no kurt. I'm not that unstable.

Kurt texted Ian for less time that night. He didn't want to feel like he did the last time he texted that late. Instead, he texted him while he was getting ready, during breakfast, and in homeroom.

He had learned so much about the boy in two nights. He had never felt closer to a person and they had only been talking for the two days! It was crazy how much had changed in the past few days.

But Kurt had noticed another thing, Blaine was back to ignoring him again. It was like nothing had happened the day before. 

At lunch, Kurt dragged the Glee girls out into the courtyard to have lunch, eager to talk to them.

"What's up Kurt?" Mercedes asked, "How was your date with Blaine?" Kurt looked down at his food sadly.

"The date went fine." He said, and the girls looked confused.

"Then why do you look like your dog died?" Santana questioned with a cocked eyebrow, "Did that dumb hobbit break up with you or something?" Santana's expression quickly went from confused to fuming in no more than two seconds. 

"He didn't break up with me." Kurt said, suddenly feeling very stupid, "He's been ignoring me again."

"Are you serious?" Santana asked, "I am seriously this close to murdering that dwarf in his sleep." 

"Well, I don't know," Kurt confessed, "After you guys go on dates, you guys acknowledge it at school right." 

"Yeah." Rachel sighed, feeling extremely bad for the boy. 

"Kurtie, I'm so sorry." Brittany said as she gave "Kurtie" a big hug. Kurt accepted the hug but then let go as his phone buzzed. 

He read the text quickly and smiled happily. 

"What are you smiling at?" Santana asked, "Is that Blaine? Are you bipolar?" 

"No Santana, it's not Blaine, and I'm not bipolar," Kurt responded with an eye-roll.

"Then who is it?" Quinn asked.

"It's just a friend," Kurt exclaimed with a blush. Santana suddenly stole the phone out of his hand and read the text messages, much to Kurt's dismay.

"Lady Hummel!" Santana gasped with wide eyes, "This most definitely is not just a friend!" Santana passed the phone to all the other girls and they all let out equally surprised gasps. 

"Kurt!" Rachel said as she playfully punched him in the side, "Who is this?" 

"It was just a wrong number at first I think, but then we started talking and I've been enjoying it a lot," Kurt said sheepishly. 

"Damn, go, Hummel." Santana cheered, "This guy is totally into you."

"What?!" Kurt sputtered, "No we're just friends, he's not into me."

"Is he a dolphin?" Brittany asked.

"What?" Kurt asked, Santana just looked at him disapprovingly.

"Is he GAY, Hummel?" Santana asked with an eye roll.

"Oh, yeah," Kurt said softly, and all the girls nodded. Santana grabbed the phone again and Kurt groaned, "What are you doing now?" 

"Asking him where he lives." Santana shrugged as if she had just said the most normal thing. 

"What?!" Kurt said again, "Why?"

"We're going to get you your new man," Santana said with a devious smile.

"No! I'm dating Blaine!" Kurt exclaimed nervously.

"Well, Blaine doesn't seem to know that." Santana pointed out. "I'll ask him what school he goes to and we'll go from there."

'This is a horrible idea', Kurt whispered under his breath as he groaned.

After 10 minutes of impatient waiting, the phone buzzed with a message.

Ian: Dalton Academy

"Well, ladies." Santana smirked as she looked at Kurt, "Looks like we're going on a little field trip."
