Blood slowly ran down his face blurring his vision. The first thing he thought was 'I'm going to die. I'm never going to see Blaine Kurt, The Twins, Dwight, or anyone from Windsor. I wont get to see Shane again...Shane' That one name sent chills down Reed Van Kamps back, he slowly lost sight of what was around him. Darkness took over his body.
Kurt is in the line at the Lima Bean waiting for Reed to get back from getting something out of his Navagator. A couple minuites later Kurt walked to a person entering the cafe and asked her
"Excuse me did you happen to see a boy with strawberry blond hair, a little shorter than me, and a black and white fadora on his head?"
"No I'm sorry I didn't but what kind of shoes was he wearing because someone was walking into an ally that had some teal converses on." Kurt didn't say anything after that he just ran out of the cafe and to the nearest ally. The sight he saw was terrifying; Reed lieing lifeless on the cold hard cement, blood almost pouring out of his leg and arm, swollen eye, and a cut on his lip. Kurt silently walked over and knelt down beside Reed, pulled out his iPhone and dialed the first number he could think of: 911. When the ambulance got there Kurt climbed in with the other paramedics and tryed to look away when they were trying to stop all the blood and bring him back from his state of shock.

Kurts POV

"Blaine it's Kurt can you tell Chaz to tell the headmaster to contact Reeds parents?"
"Why what happend to Reed?"
"He was beat up really bad. Just please do what I said."
I hang up the phone just as a police officer walks up to me and says
"Hey kid, are you friends with the victim?"
"Yes I am."
"Can you give me some info about him."
"His name is Reed Van Kamp. He goes to school with me at Dalton Academy. And I think I know why whoever did this to him did this to him."
"Why is that?"
"Ummmm... He's he's... gay."
"Ohhh ok, kid. Is he.. is he your boyfriend?"
"What? Ohh no he's my best friend. I mean I'm gay as well I have a boyfriend and my boyfriends brother and Reed sometimes... how would you say it... flirt but there not together no. They just care about each other. Well everyone at Dalton does. He's a big klutz but were all there to help him up when he falls." I chuckle softly at the end and remember the first time I had ever meet Reed; him walking in the opposite direction as me then tripping over a rug. I ended up getting roomed with him, and we became really really good friends. When me and Blaine started dating he helped me out with picking out clothes for our first date. Ughh I was a wreck that night but Reed seemed to help me through it all, all the ups and downs in me and Blaines relationship.
"Well kid I'm going to be back tomorrow to see if hes awake to get description of his attackers." I just nod my head and go back into daydreaming once again.

Blaines POV

"Wes! Tell the head master and Chaz that Reed is in the hospital? Tell them to contact his parents."
"What! What happend? What happend to Reed, Blaine?"
"Kurt told me some people beat him up and that he's in the hospital. That's all he told me"
"Kurt told you this? Ohhh jeez then it must be bad. Okay we'll meet you at the hospidal in... an hour."
"Okay. Bye"
I hit END on my phone the dial the first number that poped into me head. Shane's. Reed would deffinatly want to see Shane. Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring. After the first four rings Shane finally picked up.
"Hello? Shane Anderson speaking."
"Shane its Blaine. I don't know why I'm calling you but I just wanted to tell you that Reed... that Reed is in the hospital."
"What? What happend to him?" Shanes voice sounded shallow.
"I don't know, all I know is that some guy beat the crap out of him and it ended him in the hospital."
"I'm coming to see him."
"What? Shane you can't do that you're all the way in Colarado and Dalton is in Ohio."
"Blaine I don't care what you say I am coming out there on the next flight and I am going to see Reed weather you like it or not." I rub my hand through my un-gelled curles I'm not surprised that he would have this reaction to hearing that Reed is in the hospital. I know that Shane likes Reed and that Reed likes him to, there just a little stuborn when it comes to telling people something. Heck I remember when Shane had finally got enough courage to tell our father that he was gay, it lead to nothing but trouble, he smacked me and Shane around for a couple of days then finally left us. I sigh then say.
"Shane go ahead and come out. I'm shure that Reed will love to see you again."
"Ohmygod thank you big bro! I'll see you tomorrow sometime." I chuckle to myself then say.
"Bye little bro, love you."
I quickly hit end on my phone, grab the keys to my car, then head to the hopital.

Shanes POV

"I can't belive that Reed is in the hospital! How could anyone hurt Reed?"
"Shane! Snap out of it! I'm shure he's going to be fine." I let a huge sigh out if my body that I didn't know I was even holding in.
"Y-you think so?" I looked deep into the eyes of my bestfriend Corey to see any sign of hopefullness.
"Shane don't worry he'll be alright. Shane I know that you really like Reed, why don't you tell him sometime when your there? I think he'll really like it, because when I talked to Kurt one day he said that Reed really misses you and likes you."
"Wha-What. When did he talk to you?"
"A long time ago." I look at Corey then lightfully slap his face then say
"Why didn't you tell me?" He just laughs. I look down at my watch then run out of my dorm to the airport.

'This plane is so packed. Why are so many people even going to Ohio?' I lean my seat back about fifteen minuites into the flight and try to sleep to Ohio. Oh yah I slept, for only like the first five freaking minuites of the flight! I tryed again this time sleeping the whole time. I wake up just as we land, not really from the landing its self just I had to force myself up from a nightmare I was having about Reed.
I run into the hospial and see Kurt siting in the waiting room.
"Kurt!"
"Shane! What are you doing here?" Kurt says.
"Blaine called me and told me what happend to Reed and I got on the first flight to Ohio. So well here I am."
"You really care about Reed, don't you Shane?" I sigh then look into Kurts warm eyes then say
"Yes I care about him. And I really really like him." Kurt chuckles. Then I hear another voice.
"I always knew that you liked him little-bro." Blaine says from where he's sitting in a corner. Once again I sigh then say
"Yes it's true, but I don't know if he likes me the same way or I'm just making it all up in my head." Blaine lets out a laugh that is a little to loud then says
"Shane when ever you had the fall climbing with your friends from school he woulden't sleep and he almost destroyed all his paintings. He likes you just as much as you like him. Why don't you go in and wait 'till he's awake I'm shure he'll love to see your face when he wakes up." I walk over and ruffel my brothers hair then run off twords Reeds room. When I walk in the figure on the bed hardly at all looks like the Reed I know, this person looks smaller, paler, weaker, and more fragle then anyone I have ever seen in my life before. I slowly walk over next to Reeds bed and see and IV in his arm running to a bag of fluides. I sit down on the chair that is closest to his bed, grab his small hand, and kiss his knuckles. I gently lay his hand back down when he moves then opens his eyes. He looks around the room like he's confused then he looks at me and says
"S-Shane wha-where am I? And I thought you were in Colorado at school."
"Shhhh. Calm down, your in the hospital. You don't remember anything that happend to you a little whial ago?"
"N-no I don't all I remember is waking up here a few seconds ago. Why am I in the hospital and why does my arm and leg hurt so bad?" I see him trying to sit up so I lean over to him and press my hand to his chest to keep him down.
"Reed some guys attacked you and you got hurt really bad. They I'm guessing pulled a knife on you then cut you leg and arm badly. You also have a black eye and a bad cut on your lip." I look at Reed and can tell that he might be getting ready to cry again so I lean over and lightly hug him.
"Sh-Shane please d-don't leave m-m-me. I'm r-r-really scared r-right now."
"Shhhhh don't cry it's going to be fine." I lied. I coulden't stand seeing the boy I liked cry.
"Sh-Shane can... Can you hold me?"
"I-I don't know if that's a good idea, I don't want to hurt you."
"P-p-please Shane, please hold me." I know I coulden't say no to him now, he needs someone to love him right now and I'm the one he wants to be loved by. So I slowly climb into the hospital bed next to him, pull him into my lap so that his head can lay on my chest. I think then say to myself 'I'm going to tell him how I feel about him'
"Reed?"
"Y-yes?"
"Reed I've wanted to say this for a long time now but have never really knew how to say it..." I pause not knowing how to word the next sentance. After thinking for a couple seconds I shift him so that he is looking into my eyes, grab his small chin in my hand, and lightly press my lips to his. I pull away a few seconds later then say
"I'm sorry Reed I j-just coulden't put how I felt about you into words, but I'm hoping that, that was just as good as saying somthing like 'the truth is Reed I really, really like you but I just was to afraid to say anything sooner.'
