Love The Way You Lie - Chapter 6
The next morning, Kurt woke up in his own bed. How did that happen? After the kitchen incident, Kurt went back to Jake's room, where he snuggled with him in bed. While Jake was watching the movie, Kurt fell asleep due to the exhaustion from the night's events. I deserved it. It wasn't Jake's fault, he's just teaching me to be a better boyfriend.
The pain in his hand hadn't improved in the slightest. He got out of bed and walked over to his wardrobe. He kneeled down and picked up the first aid kit he kept on the floor in the wardrobe. Carole made him bring it just in case, for which he was now thankful for. He wrapped a bandage around his hand and pinned it together using a safety pin.
When Kurt was dressed and ready, he walked towards the door and headed out for breakfast. He was absolutely starving; his stomach kept making loud and strange noises. When he opened the door he cried out in shock.
Jake was standing outside his door, reading for school and smiling at him. That smile made Kurt's stomach drop with dread.
"Hi sweetie, you ready?" Jake said, rather impatiently, as if he'd been waiting there for a long time. When Kurt nodded and closed the door behind him, Jake grabbed Kurt and wrapped his strong arms around Kurt's waist, pulling him in tight. Jake practically dragged Kurt down the hallway and to the cafeteria. They walked passed the Warbler's table, Jake's grip on Kurt tightening as they swiftly walked past, not even glancing at the confused Warblers. They found a seat on the opposite side from their table.
Jake told Kurt to sit at an empty table while he went to get their breakfast. Kurt felt like a zombie, he hasn't been sleeping well at all, or eating, and he felt like he was going to drop dead any second.
When Jake came back with one tray, he placed a cup of black coffee in front of Kurt, and started tucking into his own breakfast.
"Umm, Jake. Where's my breakfast?" Kurt asked, confused.
"It's in front of you daring."
Kurt glared in disgust at the black coffee, it was too bland, and there was no way he was going to survive off of this till lunchtime.
"Why? Don't you like it? I got it especially for you," Jake said darkly.
"No! No, no I do, thank you." Kurt said quietly, taking a sip of his coffee and trying so hard not to spit it back in the cup.
"Good, and black coffee has like, no calories. I'm just trying to look out for you," Jake finished. "Oh, you put a bandage on your hand! Got it mustn't have been that bad you drama queen," Jake laughed as Kurt stayed silent.
Kurt could feel eyes on the back of his head. He didn't even have to turn around to know it was the Warblers, and it was starting to make Kurt feel very uncomfortable.
As the bell rang, Jake immediately stood up and grabbed Kurt's bandaged hand, causing Kurt to cry out softly. He and Jake were in different classes for their first period, but that didn't stop Jake from walking Kurt to his lesson.
Kurt sat in the back of all of his morning classes, avoiding attention from his peers. When it got to third period, Kurt was trying desperately not to fall asleep on his desk. He was shocked awake by Blaine sitting down next to him and poking him in the ribs.
"Hey stranger! Where were you this morning?" Blaine said cheerfully.
Kurt knew that Blaine knew exactly where he was, so Kurt had no idea why he was asking.
"I sat with Jake; I haven't seen much of him lately." Kurt said quietly.
Blaine just nodded and looked over at Kurt, which is when he noticed the bandage.
"Oh my God Kurt what happened to your hand!" Blaine whisper cried, grabbing Kurt's hand. Kurt hissed in pain and ripped it out of Blaine's hold.
"It's nothing. I just burnt it while making coffee. No big deal."
Blaine was about to ask another question, but thankfully their teacher came in and demanded everyone's attention. Halfway through the lesson, Kurt found his eyes drooping shut. Next thing, somebody slams their hands hard on the table Kurt was sleeping on. Kurt shot up in shock and yelled in shock. His eyes were wide in terror, mouth wide open.
"I hope I'm not keeping you up Mr Hummel?" Mr Martin said.
"N-no sir, I'm sorry sir." Kurt stuttered.
"I'll know how sorry you are in detention. As soon as the bell rings, you will remain seated and start detention straight away before lunch." He finished, before turning back to the board.
Kurt felt like he was about to cry. He had never had a detention before in his life. He looked around at all the shocked faces of his friends; he then looked at Blaine, who was looking at him disapprovingly. EMBARRASSMENT.
Kurt kept his head down and remained silent throughout the rest of the lesson until the bell rang. He watched Blaine stand up from his chair on the right side of Kurt, and paused in front of him.
"Um Kurt. Can you move your chair in please? I can't get past." He said awkwardly.
FAT. Kurt turned bright red as he shuffled further into the chair, trying desperately not to burst into tears. He watched as everyone filed out of the room. That's another lunch he would be missing out on.
By the time detention was over, Kurt was fit to collapse. Mr Martin finished detention as soon as the bell rang, signalling the end of lunch. Kurt had no time to get a snack or something small to eat to keep him going as he rushed to his next class. He couldn't afford another detention because he was late.
Kurt reached his desk and sat down. As he was getting his books ready, he heard Wes and David talking on the table behind him.
"So, movie night round Nick's? Sounds awesome right? He sent the text this morning, and all the Warbler's will be there! " Wes said.
"I know dude! I'm so excited!"
Kurt froze; he unconsciously took his phone out from his blazer pocket and discreetly checked his phone to see his text. It wasn't there.
"…to embarrassed to be around you, no wonder their keeping their distance."
Kurt was starting to feel dizzy; he stood up and swayed a bit on his feet, gaining the attention of his teacher and classmates.
"Mr Hummel, back to your seat this instance!" Mrs Bartimer shouted.
"Don't feel well," Kurt mumbled, he looked up at his teacher who looked like she was shouting at him, but she wasn't making a sound. Suddenly, the floor was coming towards him, and he allowed the floor to swallow him as he closed his eyes.
Sorry it's so late!
I know where I'm going with this story, and I'm so excited to share it with you all!
I had the next chapter for The Beak Up – The Aftermath written today at work, but I left the paper at work! Dayum!
