Chapter 7

Later on that afternoon, after classes had finished, Kurt walked out to the school parking lot with Mercedes and Blaine to see that unlike this morning when Kurt had pulled in, there was now a car sitting next to Kurt's own and only when Kurt squinted his eyes to look at it, did he realize that it was a silver 2011 Volkswagen Touareg which would have cost the person who had bought it around $60,722, a really expensive price for a car that Kurt knew from working in the garage with his dad year's previous.

"Kurt, you okay?" Mercedes asked of him that second as he seemed to be glued to the spot and Blaine now turned to him as well, wondering what he was looking at, till Blaine's eyes moved to see what had caught Kurt's eye and he too saw the car.

"You like it?" Blaine asked as he pulled his car keys out and clicked the button on the key twice to open the door, Kurt hearing the doors click open as the lights flashed once leaving Kurt standing there looking quite a fool as Blaine walked towards his car still smiling until he shook his head inside but nodded it outside seeing that Blaine's smile increased as he did so whilst Mercedes sighed slightly from where she was standing before waving to Kurt who waved back and walked towards his own car next to Blaine's and opening his car door, ready to wait for Finn as he had told Blaine this before and Blaine had been fine with waiting seeing as they were all going to the same house and it was now as both Kurt and Blaine got into their respective cars that Kurt found himself actually looking at Blaine, better than what he had done before.

And on first or second or how many sights that Kurt had had of Blaine, he had to admit that the new transfer student was actually kind of cute, even with his hair exactly the same as when he had first seen him, slicked back with gel and Kurt could see now how Blaine's t-shirt showed off the muscles of his arms that seemed to grow as Blaine leaned forward in his seat to put his head on the steering wheel whilst Kurt tried to turn his eyes away from Blaine, but he found he couldn't, well that was until the door slammed beside him as Finn entered and he nearly jumped as he realized that he hadn't even seen Finn leave the school.

"You okay dude?" Finn asked as Kurt quickly averted his eyes away from Blaine who was looking in his direction, indicating with his hand that he could go first and Kurt done so, trying to put his keys into the engine three or four times until he finally got it and the engine came to life whilst he turned back to Finn who was still looking at him.

"Yeah, I'm fine" Kurt answered before Finn's words finally entered his brain and he glared at his step-brother, "And call me dude again, I'll make you watch The Sound Of Music more than once this time."

Finn seemed to take the threat quite literally here as he became quiet, doing the whole zipping his mouth closed act as Kurt shook his head, moving his car out of the lot and hearing Blaine's car move from behind him as he stuck the radio on hearing one of his favorite songs come on and he turned up the volume singing along to Defying Gravity as he drove his car back home seeing out of the corner of his eye that Finn was trying very hard to refrain himself from either changing the radio station or switching it off whilst Kurt paid attention to the road and kept on checking behind him, still seeing Blaine's car behind him but what caught his attention this time was that Blaine seemed to be speaking to someone within his car which meant that Blaine must also have the Bluetooth Hands-free Device installed in his car as well.

A few minutes later, Kurt pulled into his drive and watched as Blaine parked his car at the curb outside his house, still talking but now he had his phone in his hand as he reached up with the other hand to switch off the device he had been talking into.

Kurt got out of his car now, Finn having jumped out as soon as they were home to go to their room and probably play Video Games whilst Kurt -after locking his car and seeing that Blaine was just getting out of his and was still talking - debated whether or not to wait for him, but that second something that Blaine said made up his mind for him.

"What the hell are you on about, he was the reason behind why I had to leave, Wes he fucking threatened to kill me and you just expect me to stay and take that crap, no I won't" Blaine was swearing now and whilst Kurt had never liked the idea of someone swearing, on Blaine, it was kind of hot, but he wasn't supposed to think like that, bad Kurt, he thought to himself as he mentally hit himself on the head, watching to and listening to see what else Blaine would see just as his words hit him, somebody had threatened to kill Blaine, who, when, where, why?

"Oh really Wes, why didn't you grow a pair when Thad was being a pure dick before and you and David and everyone else thought that he was helping me. You couldn't help me then and you won't now so goodbye Wes" And with that, Blaine hung up the phone, sticking it into his pocket and locking his car before walking up the driveway to Kurt who was standing waiting on him and Blaine hoped that he hadn't heard any of that conversation.

"We going in then?" Blaine asked, just as his phone rang again and he groaned, Kurt nodding as he walked inside and Blaine looked at his caller id. to see that it was David who was calling him so he hit the ignore button putting his phone away again and pulling his bag closer to him as he followed Kurt into the house, jaw nearly dropping as he saw how nice it was inside and he saw how there were pictures everywhere, but also there was a guy with a baseball hat on and dressed in a flannel shirt with jeans sitting in an armchair near the front door and watching what Blaine could see was a black and white movie that he knew as Young Frankenstein that he had watched during his time at Dalton with Wes and David when they had decided to have a comedy movie night.

That second Blaine's phone started to ring again and he pulled it out, seeing David's number scrawled along the top and he hit the ignore button again as Kurt showed him up to where he would be staying in the guest room and whilst Blaine walked right in and placed his bag on the neatly made bed, Kurt stayed standing in the door frame until Blaine turned round to look at him.

"You can come in you know" Blaine said with a chuckle as he started to unpack and Kurt nodded, walking up to Blaine whilst he stowed his pajamas away under the pillow of his new bed to see Kurt standing there.

"Can I help?" Kurt asked, Blaine nodding as he handed Kurt a bunch of stuff for him to put on the shelf, it was mostly pictures but before Blaine could unpack his yearbook, his phone started ringing again and he pulled it out to see David's number scrolled across the top so he hit ignore again before taking his yearbook out and putting his empty bag underneath the bed just as Kurt said something that made him jump.

"Who are the guys in this photo" Blaine turned round to look at the photo and noticed that the one that Kurt held within his hand was of him and his Warbler friends last year, just before things had started going wrong for Blaine.

"Ah, that's my friends from Dalton, Wesley Montgomery" Blaine pointed to the only Asian guy in the picture who was standing near the front next to Blaine and had Blaine in a headlock whilst Blaine could see that both he and Wes were laughing along with the rest of the guys.

"David Thompson" Blaine pointed to a black skinned guy this time, who stood on Blaine's other side, eyes towards the camera but his hands pointing towards Blaine with a large smile on his face.

"Jeffery Sterling" A guy with blonde bleached hair and brown eyes that always looked very warm, "Nicholas Duval" A guy who had more muscle than the rest and had dark brown hair and brown eyes "Thad Harwood" Here Blaine pointed to the very last guy in the line and Kurt couldn't help but notice that Blaine seemed to almost strain to say the name of a shortish guy with brown hair and blue-like eyes who was facing the front, laughing at something just as the two guys jumped when they heard Blaine's phone ring again.

Blaine groaned as he went over to look and see who was trying to phone him and had to resist the urge to pull his hair out as he noticed that it was David again and he hit the ignore button once more hoping that David was going to get the message that he didn't want to talk to him cause if he did then David would most likely get him to talk to Wes and he was not in the best mood with Wes right now.

"You guys seem close" Kurt spoke up from behind Blaine here and he turned to see Kurt pointing at the picture of David, Wes and himself outside the front of Dalton Academy, arms around each other's shoulders, all smiling in much the same way.

"We are, or rather we were" Blaine answered, turning away when his phone started to ring again but this time, he also noticed that he had a message from David as well.

blaine, answer your bloody phone, thad done something to wes.

And with that, Blaine who didn't want Kurt to hear any of this till he was sure he could tell him without sounding like a small child, went outside to answer his phone, wondering what Thad had done this time.

Once Blaine was outside, Kurt turned away from the photos, wondering slightly what Blaine meant when he had said that he and his two friends used to be close, was that what Blaine was arguing about with that guy, Wes, on his phone or was it...

Kurt stopped here as his eyes fell upon a rather thin black what looked like a yearbook and he was right as he approached it, seeing the words Dalton Academy 2010 Yearbook in red scrawly lettering and when he opened it to the very first page, he saw a message from one of Blaine's friends and he smiled, seeing how nice they were being to him, why had Blaine left and soon his eyes fell upon the next page where he spotted some of the guys from the photograph that Blaine had before his eyes fell on the other message.

Little Blainey, ha, if only people could see you for what you truly are, Wessie and Davie wouldn't look twice at you, you're a faggot and don't deserve friends, you tosspot - The Best Damn Thing In The World.

Kurt had to stop himself from gasping here at the message beside the photo of Blaine where he had his hair slicked back and Dalton uniform on before he continued to flick through the yearbook seeing a whole load of nice messages for Blaine until he came upon a picture for the fencing group.

In this picture was Blaine at the front with one of the fencing swords, Kurt wasn't sure what to call them and next to his picture was another message.

Oh Blainers, if only those things actually worked, I would rid the world of you if I could - The Honored Amazing Dude

Kurt stopped where he was as he read this message a few more times whilst his brain worked on overdrive, T H A D, wait, didn't that spell out of someone, like Thad and wasn't that also the name of the guy who had threatened to kill Blaine, yes Kurt was pretty sure it was he thought to himself as he flicked to the back of the yearbook looking down the list of students for someone with with the name Thad and finally found it, Thad Harwood.

Not wasting anymore time, Kurt shut the yearbook again, placing it back where it had been sitting and dug his own phone out, not hearing Blaine's footsteps as he logged onto Facebook and searched Thad Harwood.

Not too long after, the search results popped up and Kurt instantly found who he was looking for as he recognized the guy from the picture and clicked on the page bringing up to see that Thad's page was on public and he had last updated twenty minutes ago with a very weird comment.

Thad Harwood - Dalton is so going to the dogs :D - 20 mins ago - 1 like.

Kurt clicked on the 1 like and saw that someone by the name of Pete Dougherty had liked Thad's post whilst Kurt sat debating what to do for a couple of minutes before he searched in another name he remembered and brought up Nicholas Duval's Facebook page and instantly clicked to add him as a friend.

Not half a minute had passed when Kurt got a reply back saying that Nick had accepted his friend request and he got a message the next minute after that.

Nick Duval - hi, who's this? - 20 seconds ago.

Kurt Hummel - my name's kurt hummel, i go to school with you're friend blaine - 5 seconds ago.

Nick Duval - hi kurt, how is blaine doing? i've not spoke to him in ages - 1 second ago.

Kurt Hummel - he's ok, his mum and dad came by cause he fainted in school and things didn't go over well - 1 second ago.

Nick Duval - wouldn't have thought any differently, blaine and his parents hate each other, always have, always will - 1 second ago.

Kurt Hummel - why? - 1 second ago.

Nick Duval - i'm not the one who should be telling you these things - 4 minutes ago.

Just as Kurt was about to reply back again to Nick's message, Nick came up as offline so Kurt logged off of Facebook and put his phone away just as Blaine came back into the room, chalk white looking.

"Blaine, are you alright?" Kurt asked right away, jumping up from where he had seated himself on Blaine's bed and ran to grab his new maybe friend by the wrist to sit him down.

"Blaine?" Kurt asked again when he received no answer from Blaine who was staring straight ahead, almost as if he couldn't see anything that was happening, almost as if he were in his own world.

"Blaine?" Kurt questioned once more, shaking Blaine slightly to see what would happen but Blaine just sat there, being moved back and forth, leaving Kurt wondering what was going on.

"Wes" Blaine finally got out, whispering at that and Kurt had to strain his ears over the shout of laughter his dad just let out to hear him.

"Wesley" Blaine whispered again as he put his hands to his head almost blocking everything else out.

"Blaine, what happened to Wes?" Kurt asked, strength coming somewhere from within him as he waited for Blaine's answer, wondering what had happened, did it have something to do with Thad, was this Thad responsible for something else.

"Thad, he, he, he hit" Blaine whispered again, almost stuttering as he said this aloud, almost as if he didn't want it to be true, as if he couldn't stand it to be true.

"Blaine, what happened?" Kurt asked, holding Blaine's arm now so he couldn't move away but also so he would be okay when Blaine told him what happened.

"Hit Wes, car" Blaine was blubbering now, but Kurt knew well enough what was going on.

"Did Thad hit Wes with a car?" Kurt asked, waiting on Blaine's answer and he only had to wait a few seconds before Blaine nodded, tears appearing in his eyes as he did so whilst Kurt instantly pulled his car keys out of his pocket, asking Blaine one final question.

"Where is he?" Kurt asked, bending close to hear Blaine's answer and hadn't long to wait as Blaine replied back with the name.

"Saint Anns Hospital." And with that, Kurt was jumping up, pulling Blaine with him as they hurried out of the house and into Kurt's car, heading towards the hospital.

David held his head in his hands as he sat back down after finally getting through to Blaine after a whole bunch of failed attempts which he was pretty sure were Blaine not wanting to talk to him after the conversation that he had with Wes which David couldn't help but overhear as he sat beside Wes in the Dalton Academy hall, both of them waiting on Wes's brother, Jasper coming to get them and after Wes had hung up with Blaine, he had went outside to get some air, David following just as a black mini flew by, hitting Wes head on and flying past whilst David pulled his phone out, quickly phoning 911 as he held onto Wes's hand feeling a pulse that was very weak but was still there as he told the emergency services where he was and what happened and not too long after he heard the sound of sirens approaching and knew that Wes was going to be okay.

Now though however, after talking to Blaine and telling him where Wes was, he kind of hoped that Blaine would actually show up as when David had told him, there had been silence before he heard Blaine say he would be there soon before the phone hung up, leaving David with only the dial tone which did nothing to soothe him as he held onto his phone, refusing to cry right now for he knew if Wes were here, he would be telling him to be strong, but if Wes were here then he wouldn't even be in a hospital in the first place and he wouldn't be freaking out about all this either.

A few minutes later, David's head snapped up as he heard a single pair of footsteps and thinking it was Blaine, he stood to hug his friend but only upon seeing Nick walking in, still dressed in his Dalton uniform, he jumped at the chance for a hug and began to cry on Nick's shoulder whilst Nick rubbed his back, soothing him for the first time since Wes had been hit and Nick sat with him as the two waited for any news on Wes coming but for a whole hour, there was nothing just as Nick turned to him.

"It was Thad, wasn't it" It wasn't a question, David knew that, it was a simple fact but David still nodded, hearing Nick's gasp of horror as he was revealed to be right just as he heard two sets of footsteps and looked up to see Blaine walk into the hospital with someone that David didn't know but he didn't care about that as he flung himself into Blaine's arms, sobbing again whilst the unknown guy sat down next to Nick and Blaine shushed him too.

"I'm so sorry Blaine, when Thad hit Wes and didn't even stop, I knew that I was wrong about him, he's an ass, he, he" But David couldn't continue here as he sobbed more, hearing Blaine's comforting word's telling him it would be okay and he let out a chocked cough as he realized how much he had missed Blaine telling him that things were going to be okay.

When Blaine told him it would be okay after he found out he was gay, when he told him it would be okay after he kissed Wes and liked it for a dare, when he told him it would be okay after Wes kicked him out of his dorm room for trying to kiss him again, when he told him it would be okay after David's dad told him to get out of the house as he didn't want a gay son, when he told him it would be okay after Wes started dating a girl that was mean to David, when he told him it would be okay after Wes turned him down, when he told him it would be okay when Blaine left, when he told him it would be okay when he phoned Blaine today.

"I love him Blaine" David whispered to his best friend in the whole world hearing a slight gasp from Blaine before he was holding David closer in the hug and whispering that things were going to be fine, that Wes was going to live, would be fine, would love him back someday.

David pulled back from Blaine's hug a little after and turned his head to look at the unknown guy who was sitting in the chair, looking slightly small as he twiddled his thumbs, almost not knowing what to do until Blaine walked over to him and whispered something to which the guy nodded and got up, walking with Blaine to the vending machines and David walked over to the chairs, flopping down, as he knew he would have to continue to wait for news about Wes whilst he worked out how Blaine knew this guy.

"His names Kurt Hummel" Nick said from beside him, that second, making David jump as he forgot he was there "He added me on Facebook, he goes to McKinley High with Blaine, that's where Blaine went after he left Dalton."

David looked up in shock now as he looked at both Blaine and this new kid, Kurt Hummel, Nick had said his name was, to see that Blaine was telling him something and Kurt was laughing as Blaine did seem with his voice, David smiling as he saw that look on Kurt's face, it was the same look he wore when he saw Wes, a look of love. This guy, Kurt loved Blaine and Blaine, like always was oblivious to it all just like he was when Thad had had a small crush on him, but David really hoped that Blaine would see how Kurt felt this time around so that Kurt wouldn't turn into Thad, but that would take a lot to change someone into Thad.

Not too long after, Kurt and Blaine came back over to sit down, both holding cups of coffee and Blaine took a small sip of his wincing slightly when the coffee slid down his throat.

"You okay?" David asked, turning to Blaine as he saw the wince but Blaine just nodded stating that the coffee was horrible just as doctor approached the four.

"Mr. Montgomery is awake now if you want to see him, but only one at a time" The doctor told them, David going first as he decided what he was going to do and how to make Wes see just exactly how he felt.

Once David had left, Nick turned round to Kurt and Blaine, seeing that Blaine had discarded his coffee in favor of flicking through what looked a very boring magazine as Kurt sat picking at his coffee sleeve, taking sips at times whilst watching Blaine and Nick couldn't help but think that Kurt really had fallen from the former lead singer of the Warblers and he really hoped that Blaine would get that soon enough.

"Blaine" Kurt spoke that second and Nick nearly dropped at how highish his voice was, he knew that some guys voices didn't break for a while, but this was different.

"What do you think my dad will say when we get back, I mean, I left without telling him" Kurt seemed to be almost in shreds here and Blaine looked up, seeing this before hugging Kurt.

"He'll be fine, I'll tell him what happened and it will all be okay, trust me Kurt" Blaine seemed to show his mega-watt smile here as Kurt laughed slightly, smiling back as he leaned into Blaine.

"Where did the shy, insecure boy from yesterday go?" Kurt asked that second and Nick couldn't help but butt into the conversation here.

"Blaine shy? Are you kidding? He used to jump on things back at Dalton during Warbler rehearsal's, I'm Nick Duval btw" Nick spoke, seeing how Kurt's eyes turned to him this minute as he finally took him in and why he was here.

"Kurt Hummel" Kurt replied though Nick was sure that Kurt remembered him from Facebook seeing as how Kurt had added him and all, though he wasn't completely sure.

"Guys" A voice called that second and Nick bit his lip angrily as he heard Thad's voice out of the blue all of a sudden whilst he watched to see Blaine's reaction only to see that Blaine was looking determined, almost as if he was ready to take on Thad.

"I should be saying the same to you" Nick snapped as he stood from his seat, loving how Thad seemed to pale and back away from him when he said this, before his usual mask was back in place, the one that seemed to state that he had no idea what Nick was talking about here, but Nick knew that that wasn't true, not at all. And he was going to make Thad admit to it.

"What the hell did I do wrong?" Thad asked that minute, trying to play the innocent act and Nick glared at him, he so wasn't falling for that, not this time, not again.

"What didn't you do?" Nick snapped back, as he looked behind him to see that Blaine looked like he was trying very hard not to punch Thad in the face whilst Kurt was looking kind of confused at all that was taking place.

"Oh, I'm not too sure, why don't you remind me, Duval?" Thad seemed to be toying with him here and now, but Nick wasn't going to take the bait, not here and not now.

"You're the reason behind why Wes is even here in the first place" Nick supplied, glare still set on Thad who seemed to be backing down a bit more now but he was still very much looking like he was trying to pretend that he knew nothing.

"Oh little old me?" Thad feigned ignorance here and Nick had grit his teeth together, as he tried his best not to punch Thad in the face, Thad had been so nice before now, what had happened to him, what had made him turn into this, well pretty much dick.

"Yes, you" Blaine seemed to have gotten over the whole sitting back and taking whatever Thad said as he now stood to face Thad and tell him just exactly what he thought of him.

"Oh, aren't you just a bad-ass Blainers?" Thad snapped here, chuckling to himself as he tried to imagine Blaine as bad-ass whilst Blaine looked at Nick who nodded back as they started to sing Bad by Michael Jackson in Spanish lowly since they were in a hospital.

"Soy malo-

The two finished together at the same time and Thad only scoffed as he looked at the two of them, trying to see whether or not they were for real.

After a few seconds though, Thad started to laugh to himself again, Nick narrowing his eyes as Thad's laugh increased both in volume and in size before he was pushed forward onto his stomach and Nick looked where Thad had been standing to see two figures in the distance, one that had blonde hair and the other who had really short brown hair and he was looking kind of worried whilst Nick was glad to see them.

Jeff Sterling and Trent Nixon had arrived and things were starting to look up, Nick thought to himself as he turned to look at Blaine who was also smiling, glad to see someone he knew, but he didn't know Trent however which kind of complicated things a bit but things were definitely looking up. Now they just had to make sure that Wes was going to be alright.

But he would be, wouldn't he, Nick thought to himself as he walked forward to embrace Jeff and Trent, all the while wondering why things had gotten so complicated and when they would get better.

Wonder what's going to happen next, review and stay tuned to find out.
