Where is he?

Blaine was out of breath as he rushed through the doors of the emergency room. He hadn't spoken with Kurt for 3 days. Not since their argument in the lima bean about the whole Rachel saga.

''Calm down Blaine he's gonna be ok'', Burt reassured him.

''What's going on, what happened?'' he breathed out. ''I got this message on my voice mail from Finn telling me he fell of something.''.

Burt took a deep breath and sighed, ''some of those idiot jocks got rough with him; you know what he's like. He knew they were fishing for a fight but he wouldn't keep his mouth shut. That's one stubborn kid I got in there, proud but stubborn. I don't know, something's been eating at him for days, I ain't got no idea what, anyway whatever those jerks were saying to him must have wound him up pretty bad cause the way I hear it, he wouldn't back down.

They… he..he caught his foot, on the top step when they pushed him and just couldn't hold on''. Blaine gasped with a horrified expression on his face. ''Seventeen steps, they watched my kid fall seventeen steps and no one moved to help him'' Burt continued.. ''Is he ok?'' Blaine asked whilst tears formed in his eyes.

''Sue saw what happened and made sure an ambulance was called. Some of his glee friend too. He was out of it for a while. Gotta be honest, it scared the crap out of me. No one wants to get a call mid-morning telling you your kids been attacked and is on his way to hospital.''

Blaine could no longer hold it together as tears started streaming down his face. His last words with Kurt were those of hatred and spite. He didn't even know why he got so emotional about the whole thing. Sure he got on with Rachel and the kiss was ok but he had to admit there was no real spark there. Not like you always hear about, not like when you kiss the one. Had he really been so mean to Kurt over something so, so, so.. god, he didn't even have a name for it. And oh my god, I compared him to Karofsky. How could I do that? He's my friend, my best friend. Sure we've only know each other a few months but he is, he's my best friend. From the moment we met we just clicked; so in tune with everything. I can't lose him, I cant, hes too important to me, he's everything, he means everything to me. Wait what!

Blaine's jaw dropped as he came to the sudden realisation of what Kurt meant to him. He was snapped out of his thoughts by Burt ''Hey kid you ok? I've been calling you for 5 minutes.'' ''Yeah sorry, can I see him''. ''Sure, he's pretty out of it, those doctors pumped him full of drugs for the pain but you go right ahead. You're the only one he's been asking for anyway'' Blaine gulped, suddenly his mouth was dry and his palms were sweaty and itchy. He stepped up to the door and slowly pushed it open.

Blaine had to suppress a sob. There lay Kurt, his Kurt so fragile and still, His left leg was propped up on a pillow covered in plaster. As he scanned his eyes up, he noticed some bruising and scratch's on Kurt's arms and as his eyes travelled higher and landed on Kurt's face, he stopped breathing for a moment.

Kurt looked so tired and frail. His right cheek bone was red with subtle bruising forming and it looked like a gash on his temple needed a few stiches.

Around his eyes were dark ring's but Blaine had a feeling it wasn't from the fall. Kurt looked up at him with those big helpless eyes. Blue Green like the ocean with red rimmed edges; A sure sign that Kurt had been in tears moments before he walked through the door.

''You came'' Kurt's words were barely a whisper and struck Blaine like a dagger in the heart.

''Of course I came'' He breathed out, rushing to Kurt's bedside and embracing him in a hug as softly as he could.

Kurt broke down into tears ''I'm sorry Blaine, im so sorry'' ''ssshh you have nothing to be sorry for, im the idiot' Blaine couldn't help but notice the sweet smell of Kurt's hair or the softness of his skin as he stroked his forearm. ''I didn't mean it; I don't know what got into me. Its none of my business if you want to see Rachel and I had no right to judge you'' ''No Kurt, It was all me. The things I said to you. I can't believe I behaved that way and to you especially. You're my best friend; you have no idea how much you mean to me''

Kurt swallowed, ''Best Friend'', there was sadness in his voice and something else. Something Blaine couldn't place. ''Kurt I need to tell you something, something I just figured out, I…'' ''Kurt thank god you're ok'' They bothed turned to see Rachel march into the room. ''You had us all worried there, you should have seen it Blaine, his body was all twisted at the bottom of the stairs, blood dripping from his head, everyone just standing around watching'' ''Thank you Rachel, I think Kurt's heard enough'' Blaine interjected noticing that Kurt had stiffened up and turned even paler with her words.

Rachel lifted her arm and linked it with Blaine's; totally ignoring Kurt's existence ''I really had fun the other night Blaine; I can't wait for us to do it again. I was thinking you could come over tonight for something to eat and we could snuggle in front of the TV with a movie, what do you say''

Blaine glanced over at Kurt feeling very uncomfortable his eyes locked with kurts for just a moment before Kurt lowered them and turned his head away.

''I don't know Rach, I just got here and wanted to spend some time with Kurt'' he spluttered out..''Oh Kurt doesn't mind, right Kurt. You're ok if Blaine and I shoot off early. It's not like there's much to do here anyway plus you probably need your rest, right'' Rachel was not so subtle in the winks she started throwing in Kurt's direction. Blaine was just about to speak up and insist he wanted to stay with Kurt when Kurt spoke out ''its fine. Go, have fun. I'm fine by myself'' The way in which he spoke broke Blaine's heart. Kurt refused to look at them and the ache in Blaine's chest started to increase as Rachel started pulling on his arm to lead him towards the door.

What was wrong with him? Why didn't he speak up? Why didn't he tell Kurt how he felt for him? Just as they were nearing the door, Kurt glanced up in their direction. The moment Blaine locked eyes with him he knew it was now or never. He abruptly stopped and just stared at Kurt. Rachel's voice cut into his thoughts ''Blaine, What are you doing? What are you waiting for?''. He stepped forward licked his suddenly very dry lips; Kurt's eyes glancing down at his lips didn't go unnoticed. ''Kurt, I have to tell you something….''
