Chapter 2

A/N: okay, here we go again, for whatever reason I'm obsessed with Glee right now, not only the show and songs but also the fanfics, I've been reading so many Klaine fics, for nearly a week that's all I've read, I had to stop. So here's my continuing attempt at a Glee fic…Please Review

*Rachel's POV*

"Kurt's neck was cut, thankfully his esophagus and trachea remained intact, but his vocal cords were severed. There is nothing they can do. There is no chance that Kurt will regain his ability to talk."

I nearly passed out. No, that couldn't happen to Kurt. His voice, I can't believe that I will never hear it again. I know we fought constantly about song choices, and our voices, as much as I hated to admit he was one of my strongest competitors. I felt tears begin to stream down my face, how could this happen?

I was lost in my thoughts until I heard a loud sob next to me. I looked over to see Blaine close to hysterics. Finn and Mercedes weren't any better. Will seemed the most sane among us.

I reached over to hug Blaine who buried his face in my shoulder. My sleeve became wet, as tears streamed down my own face landing on Blaine's patchy head. My head was pounding. Nothing was making sense anymore. Nothing seemed real.

I disentangled myself from Blaine, who turned to Will, who worked on trying to calm him down. I looked up at Burt, "Can I see him?"

Burt looked at Carole who looked at me. "I don't think it would hurt." She said, "He's still unconscious though."

"I would still like to see him. I think maybe I can help." I said. I half expected Blaine to say that he wanted to come with me, but he was so lost inside his grief that he barely noticed my request.

I was told Kurt's room number. As I walked down the hall, I got more nervous each step. Why should I be like that? Kurt was…is one of my best friends. I shouldn't act this way.

I opened the door to Kurt's room and when I saw him I almost burst into tears. Kurt lay on one of the hospital beds completely quiet. He wasn't moving in the least. Only the heart monitor and the slight raising and falling of his chest reminded me that he was still alive. I came a little closer to see his face. At that moment did sob. This face could not belong to Kurt. His hair was a mess, that will drive him crazy when he awakens. He had a black eye, and a huge bruise that was a whole range of colours covering one cheek. He was also hooked up to oxygen, I don't know why that scared me, but it did. What scared me the most was the thick bandage that was wrapped around his neck. I knew that the thing that the bandage hid was the thing that took Kurt's voice from him.

I took his hand, "Hey Kurt. It's Rachel. Hey, you have to wake up soon. Blaine really needs you. He's not the only one, your parents and Finn need you too. They're here, not in the room but at the hospital. Mercedes and Will are here too. We all want you to wake up. The doctors are really optimistic, which only makes me feel a little better. Kurt I never wanted to see your eyes more than right now. Please can you let me see those baby blues? Kurt please wake up, you are really scaring me!" Finally I began to calm down…I think I just needed to get that scream out. I leaned forward and gently kissed Kurt's forehead. "I'll be here when you wake up. Please wake up soon. We all really need you."

*Will's POV*

I've dealt with a lot in my life but nothing prepared me for that phone call I had received from Finn Hudson, telling me I had to get to the hospital that Kurt had been in an accident. Of course my first thought had been a car accident, I had also thought of Blaine Anderson, Kurt's boyfriend, I had known that they had planned to see each other tonight, they had been talking about it briefly before I brought Glee Club to order, and then of course they had sung together. I could not even believe what I had been told, as well as what I saw. A nearly halfway hysterical Rachel, and a devastated Finn, as well as a worried Mercedes, and bruised and battered Blaine who was almost hysterical himself.

When Rachel had requested to see Kurt, I half expected Blaine to go with her, instead he clung to me in hysterics. I let him cry into my shirt, there was nothing else for me to do at that moment.

A doctor had come over with a wheelchair and said to Blaine, "Mr. Anderson, I told you if you wanted to be here for your friend, I can't have you walk around with your ribs and your leg. You don't want to do more damage do you?"

Blaine reluctantly loosened his grip on my shirt and painfully moved himself into the wheelchair. As he sat there tears streaking his face, I made a mental note to speak to Artie at school tomorrow, I think Blaine might need some support.

The doctor then went over to Burt and Carole, I stood nearby to listen in. Blaine was now clutching Mercedes who was kneeling in front of him whispering soothing words.

"Blaine is in really bad shape." The doctor said.

"Really?" I thought, "Anyone with eyes can see that."

"As you can see he has a broken arm, cuts and bruises. What we are most worried about are the head injuries. We assume that while he seems okay right now, there is a chance that he may experience some short term memory loss, meaning you can tell him something and he will forget it within a few minutes. The lacerations I'm also worried about, they were fairly deep, I would like those monitored, so that they don' t get infected. What I'm most worried about is his leg and ribs, the ribs will have to heal before we can even consider physical therapy for him. There is a fair possibility that even with surgery to help, Blaine may never walk normally again." The doctor explained.

"We have a friend who was paralyzed in a car wreck." Finn said. "We can have him talk to Blaine."

"We were worried about his vision, so see if you can get him to wear his glasses and not his contacts until his injuries heal." The doctor replied, "And yes, I believe that if Blaine talks to someone who is in the same predicament at the present time that might help."

A nurse came by and handed Finn a bag, "Blaine's things are in there."

Finn was doing very well in hiding his emotions; I don't know how he was doing it. I watched as Finn rummaged through the bag until he found a glasses case. He went over to Blaine, and whispered something I couldn't make out, and handed Blaine the case.

Blaine still sobbing managed to take the case from Finn. He opened it and slipped the glasses on. Mercedes smiled at him and whispered something that made Blaine smile as well.

Those smiles went away when Rachel returned. "How's Kurt?" Blaine asked.

Rachel's eyes were red, "It looks bad right now, but I have a feeling everything will be okay. You guys will have a tough road, but you'll make it." She cocked her head, "I like you in glasses, you should wear them more often."

I bit my lip, I didn't want to admit it but Rachel for once was right, this is going to be a tough road.
