Disclaimer: I don't own glee… has anyone ever done a disclaimer that simple before? I think not =D

Sam

Glee today really struck a nerve. Or should I say it was Kurt who struck the nerve. He was right in a way in asking why I cared. I had pretty much left him out of sight out of mind while i was dating Quinn. It almost made me wish that I had done the duet with him then maybe things would be different for him. And by that I mean I wouldn't have scene him outside of the movies last night getting punched in the face by his boyfriend.

But still I didn't know what to think. I didn't know what to say. Should I tell someone should I ask him about it? Was it even that serious? Because he showed up to school looking normal as ever there was no bruise and he seemed to be his normal self.

I did try to ask. But he shot me down before I had the chance and for good reason. Before I saw what I saw I had never giving him the time of day so was it intrusive of me to ask him about what I thought I saw that night? Probably… and even if I did I was almost sure I wouldn't get an answer or a real one at least.

But I didn't want to do nothing… so I called the one person who knew him better then anyone.

"Hello?"

"Hey Mercedes its Sam"

"White boy Sam?"

I raised an eyebrow "um yeah I guess"

"Oh hi what's up?"

I could tell I caught her off guard. I had never called her before and we didn't really talk much. She had her friends and I had mine. So I wouldn't blame her if she was totally thought I was a weirdo for calling her.

"Nothing I just had a question for you"

"What about"

"Kurt"

"Oh" even though it was a very small response I knew she felt something. "Why?"

"I just wanted to ask if you have noticed anything off about Kurt lately."

"Um not really… I mean we haven't really spent a lot of time together lately because of Blaine you know"

"What Blaine doesn't like Kurt hanging out with you?"

"I never said that" she said guardedly "why do you care all of the sudden anyway its not like you and Kurt are best friends"

"I'm just…"

" well don't he is happy with his boyfriend and yeah ok maybe he hasn't been as involved as he has been before but that doesn't mean he has a problem"

"Sorry then" I said "I'll see you tomorrow"

"Bye Sam"

She hung up and I let out a long sigh. I shouldn't have called her. I didn't even know that I was planning to accomplish calling Kurt's best friend. I just wanted to know what the hell was going on with him and if he was ok. Kurt was keeping his abusive relationship a secret. That all didn't sound right Kurt? In your face Kurt Hummel letting someone else abuses him. He is way to strong for that, yet… sometimes love is strong and Kurt someone who has been alone for so long? I wouldn't put it past him to brush it of for the sake of not being alone.

That made me upset. Even though I was dating Quinn and was for the most part straight I wish I could be that person for him because I would never do that. Girls like Quinn they bounce back quick they don't have a fear of being alone because they know when its over they can find the next best thing but Kurt he doesn't have that option. He is convinced that what he has with Blaine is love because he is the only person who has ever said it to him. I wish I could show him what love really is… but I can't. To everyone else I'm straight and to Kurt I would just be yet another person getting in the way of his happiness even if that happiness is lined with a lot of hurt.

And I don't even know if this is that serious. It could have been playful or justified though I find the latter hard to believe. But still I wanted to know for sure. I might be skating on thin ice with this whole thing but I don't care. I'm willing give up my reputation for him I'm willing to give up anything to know that it will never happen again.

Mercedes

Kurt and I where siting at our usual table in the cafeteria. He was picking away at his salad and I couldn't get Sam's phone call out of my head. In a way he was right Kurt had been acting different lately and I think the only reason I lashed out at Sam was because he noticed before I did. I am supposed to be his best friend and yet I couldn't even see what was right before my eyes before someone who isn't even friends with him. I knew that I had to talk to him about it.

"Sam called me last night"

Kurt raised his eyebrow.

"What?" I asked him.

"It's just weird you saying that because he was trying to talk to me yesterday in glee"

"Well that's just it… he asked about you"

His eyes went wide and he blushed a little bit.

"Why?"

"He wanted to know if I had noticed anything odd about you lately"

"Why would he ask that" Kurt looked somewhat nervous and I realized that Sam may have been right.

"I don't know" I said

"What did you say?"

"I said that I don't think anything is wrong with you"

He sighed

"Unless there is"

"Why would you think that?"

"Because he is kind of right" I said "you seem like you're sad all of the time and lately you haven't even been putting much into glee"

"I've been tired" he said "everything with my dad and stuff has really been weighing me down"

If I wasn't trying to keep my cool my jaw would have dropped at the lie he had just told me. He never lied to me ever and here he was making up some excuse for his sour mood. Well I wasn't going to have any of it.

" don't give me that Kurt" I said " you're dad is fine and after you met Blaine you where over the moon for weeks and now you look like you have given up on life"

"You don't know what you are talking about"

"Yes I do… I'm you're best friend if I don't know then who the hell does?"

"I've just been under the weather"

"Ok" I said in defeat. It was clear he didn't want to tell me whatever it was and by this point I knew there was something. I got up and left him at the table by himself and it didn't faze him in the least.

I needed to talk to sam. At first I thought he was full of shit but now I was starting to think that he may be on to something. And I wanted to know what he knew because someone like Sam does not just notice random people's character changes. He stumbled upon this unwillingly and it was time for him to mind his own bizz and hand it over to the people who actually care about Kurt. I know it makes me sound mean but I'm Kurt's best friend and it's my responsibility to have his best interests not Sam's.

They ARE the shit… in my toilet bowl my friend

A/N: I hope you guys like and maybe review? And once again if anyone wants to beta drop me a line that would be great. … Glee Tuesday night was… epic to say the least. I did not see that one coming… and I know I said before that I didn't like Blaine well I actually do which makes it hard for me to write him as an abuser but he was the only person I could see being that he is already openly gay and I don't like OC's so yeah.
