Okay, just to clear a few things up; This takes place when Kurt and Blaine are dating, with Blaine at Dalton, and Kurt at McKinley.
I do not own Glee, nor do I own the song, "Cry" by Alexx Calise.
Chapter Name: Forgot What It's Like
Blaine had been worried about Kurt all weekend. His boyfriend hadn't come to school Thursday or Friday and all weekend he had gone M.I.A. He hadn't returned any of his texts or calls, and Kurt never left his house without his phone. Blaine had even called Finn, but all he got was his answering machine. Blaine didn't want to seem like the needy boyfriend calling Kurt's house number, but he was really started to worry about him.
Blaine decided that if Kurt and Finn still didn't answer their phones today than he would just have to drive over to Lima himself.
Burt, Finn, and Carole were all at the hospital on Saturday, playing cards in Kurt's hospital room, when they heard a slight mumble. "What was that, Finn?" Carole asked.
"I didn't say anything," Finn answered, confused.
They continued playing until a few minutes later they heard a louder grumble coming from Kurt's bed.
The three rushed over to Kurt's side and they saw his eyes fluttering slightly. "Kurt?" Burt asked, reaching for his son's hand. "Kurt, come on buddy, just open your eyes, you can do it."
Kurt's eyes opened slightly and he looked around the room, alarmed. He tried to fight the ventilator, but proceeded to choke on the tubes while doing so. "Finn, press the call button," Carole told her son, panic rising in her eyes.
After a couple minutes of Burt trying to calm his son, Dr. Banks appeared in the doorway of Kurt's hospital room. It took seconds before Dr. Banks realized the Kurt had woken up and was startled by his surroundings.
"Kurt, I need you to stay still for me, okay?" Dr. Banks asked.
Kurt settled down a bit and nodded his head slightly, anxiety still in his eyes. "Now, there may be a little discomfort, but I need you to keep as still as possible."
Dr. Banks proceeded to remove the tubes flowing down Kurt's throat, and called for some of the nurses to come down to Kurt's room. While the doctors and nurses were working over Kurt, the Hudmel family had gotten moved out of the way and were now in the corner, straining their necks to see what was going on with Kurt.
After Dr. Banks and the nurses cleared away from Kurt's bed, Kurt tried to communicate with his family, and the doctor to find out what was wrong, but when he tried to speak, he found that nothing came out.
Dr. Banks, sensing his worry, quickly cleared things up. "Kurt, it's okay that you can't speak yet, it won't be permanent. It could be from too much pain from the lung surgery, or from the tubes. When we first take the tubes out of patients' throats they usually can't speak for a day or two."
Kurt nodded, but he still looked very confused. One of the nurses realized that he was trying to communicate with them, so she grabbed a notepad and pen from one of the end tables. "Just be very gentle, don't rip out your IV," the young nurse warned.
Kurt wrote, What happened to me?
"Kurt," Burt said, "You don't remember anything?"
I remember driving home from school Wednesday.
"You don't remember what happened after you got into the car?" Finn asked.
No. Kurt started looking very confused, and worry shone through his eyes.
Finn was about to say something but Dr. Banks cut him off, "It's okay, he might have hit his head when he fell down. Just don't say anything about it to him yet. We'll examine his head for any trauma, and if it isn't very severe he should remember in no time, but until then we just want to focus on him getting healthy again, which means no unessacary stress."
They all nodded, save for Kurt, who still looked confused.
Sorry for taking so long, I promise that I will update soon.
This chapter was a PAIN to write, but it was important for the story. Forgive me for the suck that is this masterpiece of crap.
