Chapter 4
Sam went to visit Blaine before he had to head home. He stood over Blaine having a tear come down his face looking at his best friend in a lot of pain. "Hey Blaine. It's your brother-from-another-mother. I know you are just resting, but you gotta wake up soon. You are freaking a lot of people out by being quiet and whether you believe it or not, you are the leader. Plus, there's Kurt and I know you love the guy so do him a favor and give him a sign that everything will be fine." Sam stared at Blaine, waiting for a response. Sam sighed and left his friend so he could recover.
The New Direction kids finally started to head home after waiting for nearly 5 hours. All that was left waiting for some kind of response was the Andersons & the Hummels. Around 1 am, Dr. Reynolds came into the waiting room.
" Mr. and Mrs. Anderson, I have some good news to report. The surgery looked like it was a success and now the swelling in his brain has gone down. Now we have two options you must decide." The Andersons both shook their heads as a way to continue. "Now we can take him off the medication that is putting him in his coma and see if he wakes up on his own, or we can go ahead and operate to fully reduce his swelling."
Kurt didn't know what he was thinking, but he spoke before the Anderson's did. "Please don't have the surgery yet. What if the surgery makes him worse? What if..."
Burt tried to hold his son, but Kurt wasn't having any of it. "Please, Mr. Anderson."
Mr. Anderson looked at Denise then at the doctor. "If we take him off his medication and he doesn't wake up on his own within 24 hours, then have the surgery." The doctor shook his head and left.
"Thank you, Mr. Anderson," Kurt said. He nodded and pulled his wife into a hug hoping they didn't have to resort to surgery on their baby boy.
An hour after the Anderson's decision, Carole came in the room. She told them they removed the breathing tube and his vitals are still the same which was a good sign. She also said they moved him into a more private room where they all could stay in his room to wait for Blaine's response. The Anderson's thanked Carole and went to the new room. Burt held Kurt back before he went into the room.
"Dad, what are you doing?"
"Kurt, give them some time with their son. They need some private, family time. Let's go get some coffee because I know you won't sleep until you see Blaine open his eyes."
"Dad, I'm fine you should be at home, resting. Don't worry about me."
"You're joking, right? Of course I'm worried about you. I know how much you love that boy and he loves you just as much. Now we are going to get some coffee and then we can go see him."
Kurt reluctantly agreed and went to the cafeteria to get some coffee. Burt and Kurt went to the cafeteria while Carole went to finish her shift. The Hummels sat in silence sipping in the disgusting cafeteria coffee. Kurt was looking at his phone seeing all the love his friends was sending him and Blaine. After they were finished with their coffee, they went to Blaine's hospital room.
Burt knocked on the door first & saw the Anderson's sleeping in the chairs at the corner of the room. Burt signaled to Kurt to be silent and they slowly entered into the room. Burt sat down in the chair on the other side of the room and Kurt went to Blaine's bed. The color in his face was coming back and he looked more peaceful without that horrible tube down his throat. Kurt held onto Blaine's hand then sat down on the chair next to Blaine's bed. Kurt laid his head on the edge of the bed and closed his eyes for a minute, but exhaustion finally hit him and he fell asleep.
Blaine is walking out of McKinley High School with a huge smile on his face. He was getting his keys out of his pocket when he heard a screeching noise. He looked up and saw a car come right at him. He tried to get out of the way, but he wasn't fast enough. He got hit head on and next thing he remembers he's on the ground in so much pain. He hears a girl yelling out for Blaine, but he couldn't make a sound. He passed out before the girl could come to him.
Blaine felt something extremely heavy on his arm. He tried to open his eyes, but he could feel a bright light above him making it hard for him to open them. He tried moving his fingers instead. It took all of his energy to move his thumb. After he could move his thumb, he tried his index finger and slowly his whole hand. The weight on his arm was lifted suddenly and he heard murmurs but couldn't fully hear what was going on.
Kurt thought he was dreaming when he felt Blaine's fingers move. Then it happened again and popped his head up to make sure it was reality. "Blaine, can you hear me? It's Kurt and I'm right here. Denise, Henry, Dad, I think Blaine's waking up." All the adults got straight up and ran to surround Blaine.
"I'm going to get the doctor," Burt said running out of the room.
"Blaine, it's your mother. Give us a sign that your awake," Denise said begging for a sign. Blaine squeezed Kurt's hand and Kurt signed in relief and chuckled.
Blaine finally opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling first, then saw a man and woman on one side of the bed and a young man on the other side. He tried to speak, but nothing was coming out.
"Sweetie don't speak, yet. Wait until the doctor gets here." Blaine stared at the hand that holding his hand then at the young man holding it.
Blaine looked at the boys eyes and was mesmerized. Blaine cleared his throat and barely whispered a question, "Whose Blaine?"
Denise grabbed her husband and pulled him into desperate hug & Kurt kept a hold of Blaine's hand not knowing what to say. Blaine doesn't remember himself, and most likely doesn't remember his family and most importantly Kurt.
Please review.
