A night of disappointment. | Self-Para
Blaine knew he shouldn't have been so shocked. Not after the last few times. But to outright refuse anything this time? That wasn't his mother. It wasn't fair. Cooper got to go to the house and visit. Why couldn't he? Oh, that's right. He wasn't the favored child. Had he ever been?Â
As far back as he could remember, Cooper always had to outshine him. Even when at fourteen years old, when Blaine told his parents he was gay because Cooper told them he was getting married Coop still got all the attention. At least the positive attention at that time.Â
Blaine had gotten a lot of yelling. A lot of how he was a disappointment and how he wasn't allowed to let that be known to anyone else because "How would people react to knowing one of the Anderson's is a fag?" Blaine had rolled his eyes at the comment. No one was like that around here. Just his dad father.Â
Blinking back tears after hanging up with his mom, remembering that night... it was hard. He missed her and really wished he could visit her. Especially today. Mother's day. As a child it was his favorite holiday. Instead of his mom spoiling him, he got to spoil her. He got to make her breakfast and serve it to her in bed and it taught him a lot  - like how not to burn toast.. or pancakes. And how to make coffee, something that Blaine would soon be glad to enjoy and make correctly.Â
He knew it was stupid to try calling again. She didn't pick up the first five times... but he didn't care. He hadn't said anything and he needed to. Getting the answering machine, again, Blaine took a deep shaky breath before whispering into the receiver, "I miss you mommy. I miss you and I love you and I'd wish you would pick up. Just once. Dad should be at work or drunk right? You could delete this message, call me back and if he asks just say it's Cooper or.. or one of your friends. I wish you'd pick up. I love you. Happy mother's day." After ten minutes, he finally hung up, biting his lip. At least he told her if nothing else.
