Finn touched my cheek, "Cheesus, Kurt! What the hell, man?" I swatted his hand away.
"Nothing. I'm fine," I said looking away, covering my face with my hand.
"Fine my ass white boy. Who did this?" Mercedes grabbed my hand and tilted my face towards her.
"Nobody. I tripped last night in my room, and hit the dresser on the way down. It's nothing. Don't worry," I said smiling. She looked like she was about to say something else when Blaine slid next to me setting a tray with salad on it in front of me.
"Lunch is served," he said digging into his own burger. Everybody glared at him for interrupting, he looked back confused. "What?"
" Nothing, they just don't believe I fell is all."
"Well. Yeah. You're like the most graceful out of all of us. I don't believe you fell for a second."
"Thanks, babe. Love you too," I said picking up my fork before taking a bite. He just grinned and kissed my forehead.
I sighed as I walked through the front door. Thankfully nobody else said anything the rest of the day. Finn followed me up to my room.
"Okay. It's just us. What happened, Bro?" I rolled my eyes and changed my slushied clothes.
"I told you. I fell. So drop it. Now. Finn, I love you, but please leave, I'm going to do my homework now." I shooed him out and locked the door behind him. As soon as he left, I sat down in front of my mirror looking at the bruise on my face. If you looked really closely you could almost make out the shape of my father's hand. I looked at the photo of Blaine I had next to my bed. "Blaine. I wish I could just tell you what happened."
FINN's POV
I sat outside Kurt's bedroom, my back against the door. I had promised him I wouldn't let him get hurt. What I didn't realize was that it meant keeping him from himself. Sighing, I slowly started to get up when I heard him whisper.
"Blaine. I wish I could just tell you what happened." So something had happened. But, what?
"Kids? Are you home?" Mom's home. Wait. MOM! She would know what to do! I raced downstairs, and stopped just before slamming into her.
"Mom. I need your help. Something happened to Kurt, but he won't tell anyone what," I gushed out in one breathe.
"Is he okay?" Her eyebrows squished up like they always do when she's concerned.
"He has a bruise on his face. He said he fell in his room, but I don't believe him and neither does anyone else. Can you maybe see if he will tell you?"
"Where is he now?"
"His room," I pointed up. She immediately turned around and began walking up the stairs. I heard her knock on the door asking him to come downstairs. As soon as she was back in the kitchen, I grabbed a soda from the fridge and went to the living room to wait. I carefully listened in as Kurt sat down at the table upon my mom's request. My mom started talking after about a minute of silence.
"Kurt. Finn told me about today. Care to tell me about the bruise on your face," I figured she must have touched it, when he hissed.
"I slipped on a puddle at school, and hit a locker face-first. I'm fine though, it's not a big deal." My eyes got big as he said those words. Why would he tell mom something different? I ran into the kitchen confused.
"Dude. That's not what you told everyone today. You said you fell in your room. So, which is it?" I was not leaning over him.
"Don't hit me!" I looked at him shocked. He was shaking so hard, his breathing coming out in huffs and he looked terrified. Mom took over, grabbing his shoulders and pulling him into her.
"Shhh.. Baby. No one is going to hit you. We just want to know what happened. Okay? Calm down. It's okay," she started rocking him back and forth. His breathing even out a little and nodded slowly. "Now. Just shake your head yes or no okay? Did someone hit you." He nodded. "Do they go to your school?" he shook his head no. "Does Finn know them?" Another nod. "Do I know them?" Kurt visibly clenched up, and then began shaking again. He fell out of mom's arms and ran out the door before we could even blink.
"Mom. What just happened?" She looked sad and said nothing, wrapping her arms around me in a tight hug.
"I don't know sweetheart. I don't know."
