Chapter 7: Consequences
I woke up about two days after the accident. I'm not convinced I was out the entire time because I distinctly remember hearing "Somewhere Only We Know," but I'm not sure. It was all a little fuzzy.
When I first woke up, the first person I saw was Blaine. I was instantly filled with a warm fuzzy feeling inside. I was honored that he was waiting for me to wake up.
"Hi there. How do you feel?"
"Sore," I said smiling.
"Well, that won't do. How about I get a nurse?"
"That would be great."
Blaine pushed the call button and within seconds a few doctors and nurses came over.
"Well, look who's up. How are you feeling?" the doctor asked.
"Sore."
A few seconds later, I saw Dr. Lang come over as well.
"Dr. Lang?"
"Kristy, it's great to see you awake again."
"Does the Glee Club know?" I said sitting up.
I felt a searing pain up my shoulders as I tried to get up.
"Sit down Kristy. You need to rest. No one in Glee knows. They think Dr. Lang just works in the Emergency Room," Blaine said quietly.
I relaxed again and said, "Ok good."
The actual Emergency Room doctor inspected my injuries and said I was good for the time being. I just needed to rest and hopefully I could be released by the end of the week.
"Is anything broken?"
"Just your wrist. You are the luckiest car accident victim I have seen in all my years in the ER."
"Thanks. Where's my mother!"
"Relax Kristy. She's fine. She went home yesterday."
"Why isn't she here?"
The doctors looked at each other for a second. Blaine was the one who answered my question.
"Well, Kristy. The police had to go to your house last night. Your mom tried to kill herself last night. She's now in a psychiatric ward. I'm really sorry. She thought she killed you."
"Wha… what?"
"I know. The police have already taken her license for the accident, I'm not sure if they're pressing charges. They've been coming here everyday to see if you're awake yet."
"But, I've just been sleeping."
"Well, no one was sure that you'd wake up. As they said you were really, really lucky."
"Oh God…"
"Just relax. Everything will be sorted out. You just have to give it some time."
I was crying now, "I don't have time Blaine. I don't. You know that," I whispered as he hugged me.
"What don't you have time for?" Rachel Berry said as the rest of the Glee Club walked in.
Blaine let go of me and went to stand by Kurt. I could see Kurt was upset with Blaine. I guess I now knew Kurt was the jealous type. I hoped he didn't take any of this seriously. Sure, I was totally in "love" with Blaine at the time, but Blaine was totally in love with Kurt. We were just friends with a huge secret. I felt guilty about making Blaine keep it from Kurt, but I knew I had to keep it to myself for a little longer.
About two hours after I woke up, the police came to my room. The Glee Club had left for school about an hour earlier and I was all alone (until the police of course). There were two detectives; a man and a woman. They looked at me with such pity, that it was hard to watch.
"Hi Kristy. I'm Detective Moses and this is my partner Detective Holmes," the woman said.
I laughed for a second and said, "So, like Sherlock Holmes?"
They both smiled for a second, "Something like that. We need to talk to you about the accident," Detective Holmes said.
"Ok. What do you need to know?"
"We need to know everything. But, let's start with what happened first."
"Does anyone need to know about this interview? Or what's said in it?"
They both looked at me for a second and then Detective Moses said, "No, not unless there's criminal charges involved."
"Ok thanks. So, the beginning. Well, we were coming home from a doctor's appointment for me. I have terminal cancer. It was my first treatment. My mother told me that Dr. Lang, my oncologist, had called and wanted to start sooner. Turns out, that she called and scheduled earlier, telling Dr. Lang that I wanted to start as soon as possible. So, I was upset with her in the car. We got into a fight and then we resorted to ignoring each other," everything had begun to come out really fast and the detectives were writing everything down as fast as possible, "and then I noticed that she was speeding up and I tried to get her to stop but she wouldn't. Before I knew it, we were at 85 miles per hour. And then I just saw this bright light and I felt a lot of pain and then I was out. Next thing I remember is waking up here."
"Ok, thank you Kristy. We'll get back to you. I'm not going to lie. There might be charges involved. I think I speak for both of us when I say sorry about your cancer." Detective Moses said.
"Thanks. Umm, what kind of charges?"
"Well, child endangerment for one, Reckless endangerment; we'll just have to see."
"Ok, thank you."
I didn't hear from the police for a few weeks. In the meantime, I was healing. I still had a hard time moving and I was in a lot of pain. Blaine came a lot and we finally talked about that night. I also finally got to check my phone. I had at least a hundred messages from people. Blaine and I spent the next week becoming great friends. We talked about everything from my cancer, to music to our lives. My dad visited when he could. I had insisted that he stay in work. Staying with me wasn't going to change anything.
At the end of that week, I was ready to be discharged. Blaine had been with me for most of that day, and that's when the Glee Club showed up again. Kurt looked furious. I had never seen someone like that before. I was afraid he would start screaming right then and there. Blaine had told me that their relationship was strained at the moment, but he didn't think that Kurt believed he had somehow turned straight. I had believed him, but after seeing Kurt I wasn't too sure if he was right or not.
Blaine looked at Kurt as well. He could see more hurt on Kurt's face. It killed him to know that Kurt was unhappy with him. He knew he had to do something, but just like before, he just couldn't think of anything. In fact, all he could think about at the moment was Kristy and if she was going to be okay.
