The New Directions had just had there last meeting of the year and Rachel invited the group to her house for a pool party (this time her dad's would be there so they would not be a repeat of The Rachel Berry Trainwreck Extravaganza). Everyone was making there way to her house for the party. As everyone got there and changed into there bathing suits they all jumped into the water, all but Kurt, Mercedes, Quinn, and Santana. Everyone else were spashing around in the water having fun. "Come on, get in the water, you guys. Its hot and its not called a POOL party for nothing," yelled Puck. Everyone in the water nodded in agreement while yelling things like "get in the water," and "come on," finally Mercedes, Quinn, and Santana gave into the pressure and got into the water.
"Come on white boy, get in the water! Even Artie is in the water." yelled Mercedes "Get in or i will get the guys to go and get you."
" 'Cedes i will not get in the pool for many reasons, one of them being i do not want to get my hair wet and you dont need to know the others, you would be sitting there for hours listening to them if i were to tell you," was the reply Kurt gave.
"Okay you asked for it!" yelled Sam who promptly got out of the water motioning for the rest of the guys to do the same. They walked over to where Kurt sat and picked him up by the arms and legs. Kurt instantly paled as he got closer to pool.
"NO! LET ME GO! PLEASE JUST LET ME GO!" Kurt yelled at the top of his lungs. He had pure terror in his voice. The boys gently put Kurt down.
"Kurt, whats wrong? Why dont you want to get in the water? Can you not swim?" asked Rachel.
"Of course he can swim. He is a dolphin, duh," said Brittany.
"No, its not that. I used to go swimming all the time with my mom when i was little. I still go to a private pool once a month and spend all day there. The last time i went swimming with a group of people, well, it didnt go to well," they all looked at Kurt with shock and sympathy. No one could believe he spent that much time in water, especially water with chlorine, it couldnt be good for his hair.
"What happened Kurt?" asked Mike.
"I was sitting next to the pool and everone thought it would be funny to push me in, it had been a few months after her death so i wasnt feeling up to swimming when it used to be our favorite thing to do together. When they pushed me in my head hit the ledge and knocked me out," with that everone gasped," i dont know what happened after that but from what people told me, everyone thought i was faking and left me for about a minute, they only pulled me out of the water when i had not moved since they pushed me in. They pulled me out, called 911, and wisked me away to the hospital. The water had filled 3/4ths of my lungs and if i had been left any longer i would have died. I have not swam in the pressence of other people since then, and is also why i am sitting so far away from the pool." they all glanced over to where he had been sitting. The chair was as far away from the pool as possible without seeming rude.
"Kurt, we would never let that happen to you ever," said Tina. She looked so sincere when she said it.
"You could just sit next to Artie. We dont want you to have a panic attack if we pushed you to do something you didnt want," said Finn. Kurt gave them all a warm smile.
"Fine. I am really glad to have friends like you," said Kurt. He nervousley walked over to the steps where Artie was sitting and lowered himself in. He closed his eyes tightly and took a deep breath of air as he entered the water. Everone clapped as he did so. When it got dark they all went inside to play games. It had been a good night.
"Come on white boy, get in the water! Even Artie is in the water." yelled Mercedes "Get in or i will get the guys to go and get you."
" 'Cedes i will not get in the pool for many reasons, one of them being i do not want to get my hair wet and you dont need to know the others, you would be sitting there for hours listening to them if i were to tell you," was the reply Kurt gave.
"Okay you asked for it!" yelled Sam who promptly got out of the water motioning for the rest of the guys to do the same. They walked over to where Kurt sat and picked him up by the arms and legs. Kurt instantly paled as he got closer to pool.
