a/n There is a fic that is a prequel to this called "22 Calls and a Hospital". If you haven't read it, I'd suggest hopping over real quick to do so, as everything makes a lot more sense if you do. *wink*

Prologue
-Friday, Room 26 on the second floor of Lima Heights Hospital, 1:50 p.m. -
Five days had passed since the teenager had been pulled out of the river, not breathing. It took two minutes for the paramedics to get his heart beating again, and even longer before they'd felt comfortable taking him off oxygen. But, besides a mild concussion and a broken wrist from impacting the water, there was nothing obviously wrong with Kurt.
Still, the coma wasn't ending, and Kurt wasn't waking up.
As if that weren't enough, the police had followed up on the case to find out where Kurt had gotten the alcohol, and come to the conclusion that the countertenor may have jumped off the bridge, or fallen. Turning that information over to the hospital, the doctors were now prepared to keep Kurt on a suicide watch once he woke up, just in case.
Burt had tracked down the couple who had seen Kurt go into the water, but they agreed that they weren't sure if the boy had ended up in the river on purpose or not.
After questioning Burt, and discovering that most likely Kurt had received the alcohol from adults who had been at the local 7-11, the police had also discovered all of the messages, pictures and texts Kurt had saved on his phone from David Karofsky. There were inappropriate sexts, and messages threatening Kurt with death if he ever told anyone, and the stalker had even referred to Kurt's room at Dalton and previous instances of sexual harassment at McKinley.
Doctor Lydia Lopez, mother of Santana Lopez, had been Elizabeth Hummel's doctor. Now she was Kurt's.
She had told the family that there was a good possibility that Kurt would wake at any time. She also suggested they read or talk to him, as it had been proven by scans of brain waves that coma patients seemed to hear and process.
Brittany was the one who demanded everyone write a letter for Kurt.
No one knew what to write, but they all decided to give it a try.
They missed Kurt, and they wanted him to wake up. Anything that might help, they would do.
As for Blaine, Burt had invited the broken boy to stay at the Hummel-Hudson home.

Dear Kurt, I can't tell you how much I hate myself right now. I wish
Letter found, unfinished, in wastebasket in the Hummel-Hudson kitchen.
