Anniversary Chapter 3, a glee fanfic

Sorry for the long wait. Either way, here's chapter 3!

Hummel home/Kurt

I was in my room, just passing the time. The others had already left the house and the party was over. Dad, Carole, Finn and Blaine were downstairs, talking presumably. I was just sitting there studying up on an upcoming test that I was absolutely was dreading when I had a bad feeling. You know when you just suddenly feel as if something has just happened and you needed to do something? Yeah. That. I stood and reached for the remote and immediately put it on the news. It was a commercial. I sighed. It must have just been a nervous tick. Either way I left the TV on just in case. After commercials and a boring subject of the US government and all that crap it went onto local news. That was when Blaine walked in, a big smile on his face. "Kurt, there you are. I was looking for you."

"Oh you were?" I asked. "I was the here the whole time." I added with a shrug.

Blaine went over and sat next to me, eyes on the screen. "Watching something else other than Entertainment Weekly? What a shock." He lazily placed his arm around my shoulders, his eyes still glued to the screen.

"Hm…" Was all I can manage as I rolled my eyes. I looked to the screen, my studying thrown to the wind. We sat there and watched the news, though to be truthful I think we were both were focusing more on each other than the news. The news cuts to a guy in a helicopter that was flying over a train crash. The bad feeling came up in my stomach again as I softly leaned forward.

"We are at the scene of a horrific train crash that recently happened on one of the back roads today in Lima. What had happened was a truck was, as is assumed, stalled on the tracks when a train coming at 35+ miles per hour slammed into the truck. The driver of the truck, a student at McKinley, was rushed over to the hospital after the train conductor called in the accident." Said the announcer in the helicopter. I started to get a bad feeling and Blaine's arm around my shoulders tensed.

"Is there any information on the student?" Asked the lady back at the studio.

"Yes but very little. The student's father has kept information tight. All we know is that the student's name is David and he is part of the football team at McKinley."

I tore myself out of Blaine's arm, which had tightened around me even more, and stood abruptly. "It's Karofsky. I just know it is."

Blaine stood beside me. His face was twisted with mixed emotions, the same that I was feeling. "Well… What do you want to do?" He asked me, his voice rough. I closed my eyes. Sweet Gaga, I must be going insane.

Lima Hospital/Kurt

I fidgeted with my fingers as Blaine asked the receptionist if Karofsky was ready for visitors. I started to get doubts. Just hours ago there was so much drama; I had yelled at him, leading him to try suicide. Stalled car? Yeah the hell right. Blaine came back to me. "He might be. She told us to go up and see."

I breathed in deeply, really second guessing this. "Blaine…"

"I'll be with you the whole way." He immediately said, taking the role of the protective boyfriend. He reached for my hand and our fingers intertwined. I felt that there was more Blaine wanted to say but he kept his mouth shut. We walked to the elevators and made our way to Karofsky's room. With every step my heart beat got louder and louder, and not to mention faster. I tried taking calming breaths but that just made me more nervous. Blaine's hand tightened and I felt a bit better. I tried to convince myself that I was safe. Blaine's here. He'll make sure nothing happens. Karofsky's probably all casted up, he can't do anything to you. This is a public place, nothing can happen. We stopped before his room, the door was open but a curtain blocked off Karofsky. Blaine's hand tightened more (impossibly) while his other hand came up and knocked on the door. "Is it all right to come in?" Blaine questioned his voice thick.

A doctor who I didn't realize was in there because of the curtain popped up. He glanced at us and then at our entwined hands. He looked back up at us and sent us a small smile. "Sure. You friends of his?"

Blaine cleared his throat and I nervously spoke up. "S-sort of."

"Come on in." We slowly walked in and around the curtain. I immediately felt a pang of guilt. There was Karofsky all bandaged up everywhere, his left leg in a cast and it was lifted up and his right arm was in a cast also. I could also faintly see that his torso was bandaged up as well. "We just gave him some sedatives but you should be able to talk for a little bit." The doctor said before he exited the room, pulling back the curtain a bit on the way out.

Blaine and I stood at the end of the bed, looking down of Karofsky. His eyes were closed and everything was quiet, except for the near silent beeping of his heart rate. The air was thick, either because of the awkwardness or of something. All I know is that we didn't say anything. Just stood there and gaped. We then jumped when Karofsky spoke. "What do you want?" He turned his head and opened his eyes to look out the window.

Suddenly I had a bit of courage and I wrenched my hand from Blaine's, automatically missing its warmth. "Karofsky," I started, getting a bit closer to him. "We heard on the news what happened and we came over." Pause. "Are you... Are you ok?"

Karofsky snorted and turned his head to me. "Why do you care?"

"For one thing I know it wasn't the truck stalling on the tracks like they said on the news." I lifted a finger for a dramatic look. I then pointed it at him. "You were trying to kill yourself."

"How can you be so sure?"

"Oh please." Blaine interrupted me. His anger starting to peak. "Kurt yells at you, tells you he's had enough of you even after you said you loved him, and yes, I know of that because guess what? I'm his boyfriend and we never lie to each other nor do we keep secrets. You run off in a pissed off and shity mood, of course this was a suicide attempt. What do you think we are? Stupid?"

Karofsky looked at him and then back to me. "You told him?" He asked his voice soft and his eyes sad.

"Of course I did. He's my boyfriend. I can't keep secrets from him." He groaned in response. "Karofsky, suicide isn't the way out of this. It would have been better getting a counselor or a psychologist."

"I'm not resorting to that." He said as he turned his head and looked out the window again. "I'm not trusting a stranger…"

"Because that would mean your dad finding out." Blaine said. Karofsky turned his gaze back onto him. "Trust me Karofsky. I know what you're feeling. I was scared out of my mind telling my dad, I know how he is, and unfortunately he wasn't like Kurt's dad, he wasn't as supportive. And I have a feeling you dad's the same way. But trust me, he's going to find out eventually don't you think? When you are getting married and you're not at all interested in the woman walking down the aisle."

Karofsky blinked and closed his eyes. I knew that the sedative was starting to kick in. "Listen to me Karofsky." I said and he opened his eyes slightly. "I know that we must sound like a broken record to you, going on and on about you coming out. I know it's hard, with everything that happens to you when you come out." I paused as the memories of being bullied rushed into my head. Karofsky turned his head away yet again, the same memories rushing through his own head. "But when you do you can make your own life without having to be so secret about it. I mean… Blaine and I are—"

"Together. I know." He interrupted. Still looking out the window he continued. "That's just it Hummel, I… I don't want this."

"We never do at first." Blaine and I answer at the same time. We looked at each other and exchanged a small smile. I looked back at Karofsky. "We're not going to force you Karofsky, but you can at least change a bit. You bullied me out of McKinley and I still come to visit you in the hospital. Now don't you think you should at least try to be just friends?" Did I just ask that? I looked back at Blaine and his expression screamed shock. I looked back at the teen in the bed. He was now looking at me with the same shocked expression as Blaine's. I started to feel nervous so I broke out in laughter. "Love and peace!" I practically screamed out as I pitifully raised two fingers in a peace sign.

"…"

"…" Karofsky and Blaine broke out in laughter and I stood there, shocked that the two were actually laughing. Blaine's anger dispersed and he came over and placed his arm around my shoulders. "Kurt, that was amazing. Keep up the good work."

Karofsky's laughter died and he looked up at us. He sighed, sadness in his eyes. I know that he is jealous about my relationship with Blaine which is why the next thing he said shocked me. "Why not…? I guess since you're giving out…" He smiled softly; the smile was nearly not there.

I blinked and while I stood in shock Karofsky drifted asleep and Blaine and I stood there quietly. We led ourselves out afterwards and we walked in the same silence until we got into Blaine's Audi. "So, friends with Karofsky?" Blaine inquired slowly.

"Yeah…" I looked over to him. "Are you mad?"

"No. Shocked maybe but not mad." He started to back out the car. "Actually to tell you the truth, I'm bowing at your feet right now."

I chuckled slightly at the mental sight of Blaine "Dapper" Anderson bowing at my feet. "Why may I ask?"

"I could never have done what you just did Kurt. You're giving your bully a second chance. I just ran. You've become an icon right now for me." We stopped at a stop sign and he looked at me with a grin on his face.

"Me? An icon? Blaine, you are my icon. You showed me courage and a friendship that was strong which eventually led to love. You're my icon."

"What about this? We'll be each others' icon." He focused on the road as he pressed his foot of the gas.

I chuckle and smile once more at him. "Sure. That sounds great." In the back of my mind I was thinking that we could be the icon for Karofsky and try to make his see the error of his ways.

Lima Hospital, Karofsky's room/Karofsky

In my sedative induced dreams, I relived the moment that just happened. I started to actually wonder if that was a dream itself but I knew it happened. It was real. Was I really offered a second chance? By Kurt Hummel? The guy I had chased away just because he was gay? Yep. I was completely surprised by that and yet happy. Even though I couldn't actually be with him, I could still be friends. And who knows? Maybe the chance won't be too far off… I couldn't get my hopes up though. For one, I'm still not out yet, and I might never be by this rate, and the bond between Kurt and his Dalton boyfriend was strong, you can tell even from a mile away. They were so closely similar to each other. I wouldn't doubt that they would get married (gay marriage, how does that work?) when they're older and if they still stay together throughout that whole time. I started to get a headache in my own sleep and I decided to try and get off that subject. Sooner or later mom and dad would come and visit me, and I have a hell of a lot to explain as to why I was on the train tracks.

Hummel home/No POV

After Blaine kissed Kurt goodbye and drove off Kurt walked into the house to hear the sounds of Veronica and Finn arguing. "You will sing this song with me!" Veronica's shrill voice rang out.

Kurt followed the sounds of their arguing into the living room where the Grease karaoke was on and was paused on We Belong Together. "No Veronica! I hate that song! It's so annoying."

"It's a good song."

"Yeah, good for torture of rodents."

"Guys." Kurt called out. The two turned their heads.

"Hey Kurtie!" Veronica welcomed.

"Hey Kurt. How was the visit?" He asked nervously.

"Eh… it went ok." Kurt simply answered, not wanting to get into detail. "So…" He walked over beside Veronica and picked up the mic. "Are we going to sing this song or not?"

"Yay! Kurt and Veronica duo! Yes!" Veronica screamed. She grabbed the other mic and while she restarted the song Kurt talked with Finn.

"Where are dad and Carole?"

"They went out to eat. Left me in charge."

"When did Veronica get here?"

"A little while after they left."

Veronica joined Kurt at his side, pushing her other cousin-by-marriage onto the sofa before singing the first part.

We go together
Like rama lama lama ka dinga da dinga dong
Remembered forever
As shoobop sha wadda wadda yippity boom de boom
Chang chang changitty chang shoobop
That's the way it should be, wha oooh, yeah

Kurt took the next verse, a big smile spreading across his face. He always loved the nonsense lyrics of this song annoying Finn with this song was a bonus.

We're one of a kind
Like dip dadip dadip doowop da doobee doo
Our names are signed
Boogedy boogedy boogedy boogedy shooby doowop shebop
Chang chang changitty chang shoobop
We'll always be like one, wa wa wa wah

The next two verses they sang together, laughing at the end from the groan of frustration that came out of Finn's mouth.

When we go out at night and stars are shinin' bright
Up in the skies above
Or at the high school dance where you can find romance
Maybe it might be love

Rama lama lama ka dinga da dinga dong
Shoobop sha wadda wadda yippity boom de boom
Chang chang changitty chang shoobop
Dip dadip dadip doowop da doobee doo
Boogedy boogedy boogedy boogedy shooby doowop shebop
Sha na na na na na na na yippity dip de doom

Kurt and Veronica took turns on the next verse with the lines and Finn got up and retreated to the kitchen so the two started to sing louder.

They song together, laughing as they sung. Finn meanwhile was pounding his head into the kitchen cabinet, a headache forming from the song and the head pounding.

We're for each other
Like wop baba lumop a wap bam boom
Just like my brother
Is sha na na na na na na na yippity dip de doom
Chang chang changitty chang shoobop
We'll always be together wha oooh, yeah

We'll always be together
We'll always be together
We'll always be together
...

Veronica and Kurt ended the last We'll always be together with a bang, holding off the note until the music faded away. The two cousins started to clap and laugh about the song. From the kitchen Finn rejoiced. "Yes! It's over!"

Kurt and Veronica looked at each. The female cousin smiled mischievously. "Again?" She asked quietly.

"Oh defiantly."

Within short moment Finn jumped out of the open window in the kitchen and escaped into the backyard.

Tried to end this in a funny note. Anyways… Yay for Glee! May it last 4ever! (:
