Chapter 7:
When out of the forest, Puck ran to arrive on time for his last community service. He spent the whole morning trying to find flaws in Karofsky's threat, the mere thought of Kurt being alone with the jock made him want to throw up. Kurt was totally defenseless face to him, even more when his hands were tied up.
Puck felt bad for telling Kurt he was the reason why he had been locked in the shed, if Kurt didn't get the hint he had tried to give him, he would probably hate him for leaving him alone. Puck resolved to go back to see him as soon as he could to let him know he was not alone.
When his community service was finally over for good, Puck went home. No one was there since his sister was with Anne and his mother was at his Nana's. He went to his room to get some rest since sleeping had been really hard the night before. He found his mobile on his bed and cursed in his head for not taking it with him the day before. He turned it on to find five missed calls from the glee club again. He hesitated whether to call them or not but resolved not to since they would all be mad at him again. So he simply laid on his bed and fell asleep thinking of Kurt again.
When he woke up it was dark outside, he resolved to call Finn to know if they had news.
"What d'you want Puck ?" Finn asked irritated.
"Anything new about your bro' ?" He asked casually.
"Why do you ask now ? I thought you cared Puck but you proved me wrong." Finn said bitterly.
"I do care, I just didn't have my phone with me and had a lot of things to do for my Nana." He lied. As long as he didn't find a way to spare Sarah and Kurt he wouldn't tell anyone about what happened and the place Kurt was detained.
"Oh, yes my mom told me your Nana's not doing well. Nothing new concerning Kurt but we asked every single students of McKinley and it appears like no one's involved in the kidnapping." These guys would seriously do great investigators. Puck thought sarcastically.
"How can you be sure no one's lying to you ?" Puck asked trying to lead Finn on the good direction.
"C'mon Puck, d'you really think someone at school could be crazy enough to kidnap Kurt ?" Finn said.
"I have no idea why would someone kidnap your brother Finn, he's a good guy, but I don't see why we should exclude the school dudes just because they say they haven't done anything. Look at the jocks who are not in glee club, they're always picking on him for no reason." trying to lead Finn in the good direction was a really, really hard task considering how dumb the guy was.
"They're our friends Puck." Finn stated embarrassed.
"They're not our friends, they're the guys you hang out with to stay somehow popular. Would you really take a chance on your brother's life not to doubt of those you call your friends ?" Puck asked.
"Wow Puck, where does that come from ?" Finn asked sounding impressed.
"I gotta go, just don't believe everyone okay ?" He said to his friend.
"Okay, bye Puck."
"Bye." He hung up.
He checked the time and decided it was the right time to go. The night had already fallen so Puck went outside and walked to the forest. He tried to keep his steps the quietest for Karofsky not to hear him if he was around. Yet, he didn't catch sight of Karofsky and walked to the little shed.
He knocked at the door softly.
"Puck ?" Kurt asked as soon as he had knocked.
"Who else ?" Puck asked smirking for himself.
"I didn't think you'd come back." Kurt said sounding sad.
"C'mon I left a ninja signal for you to know I'd be back !" Puck said slightly irritated, he was proud of his signal.
"What signal ?" Kurt asked from inside the shed.
"I told you 'au revoir' I thought you'd understand I'd be back." Puck explained proudly.
"That was kind of brilliant !" Kurt said sounding impressed. Puck grinned.
"Of course it was, it came from my powerful brain !" Puck said.
"Sure..." Kurt answered. " I lied when I said that I was better alone here, although you can be kind of a pain in the neck, it was better than being alone." Kurt said sounding apologetic.
"Look Kurt I didn't mean to leave you alone, I thought he would release the both of us if he thought we were boyfriends or something... Did he hurt you ?" Puck inquired. He sat down against the door to talk to the lonely boy.
" I … He was pissed off, that's for sure, but he didn't use the bat." Kurt answered, and there was something off in his answer.
"You didn't answer my question." Puck pointed.
"He just punched me for letting you touch me." Kurt said sounding embarrassed. Puck felt suddenly guilty.
"Shit, I'm sorry, it sounded good when I planned it." He said.
"Actually it was a good idea, at least you're outside. But if you're here alone I assume Karofsky found a way to threaten you." Kurt said sadly.
"Yeah, his mother looks after my sister, he threatened to hurt her if I told anyone."
"Then you just need to find another nanny, he won't have any way to pressure you." Kurt said and Puck shook his head even though Kurt would not see him.
"He threatened to hurt you if I did that."
"Shit !" Kurt cursed inside the shed. They remained silent for a while both searching ways of rescuing Kurt.
" I called Finn, they've asked the whole school about you and already assumed it was someone from outside the school who kidnapped you." Puck explained.
"They've already proven that they could never be detectives." Kurt stated. Puck chuckled.
" I tried to lead him in the good direction."
"That's cool but don't take any chance on your sister, he won't hurt me I can stay here longer." Kurt said.
"I'll talk to Karofsky tomorrow." Puck decided.
"You can't tell him you came tonight he would be furious, I don't want him to hurt you, or me when he'll come for that matter." Kurt said.
" I won't." Puck said. " I have to try to work on that window." Puck said standing up. But his hopes faded when he saw the same padlock on the window as the one on the door. "Fuckin' bastard !" He shouted. A flash of pain hit his ribs again. "Ah fuckin' shit !" He said sitting down against the door frame his arms wrapping his ribs.
"Are you okay ?" Kurt inquired concerned from behind the door.
"Yeah, it's just my ribs." He mumbled.
"You haven't seen a doctor today ?" Kurt asked.
"It's Sunday Hummel, and anyway, there's nothing to do and I can handle it, I'm a stud !" He said.
"You might be a stud you hurt like everyone Puck." Kurt said. Puck snorted but didn't argue.
" I hate this fuckin' situation !" Puck said after a while. Kurt sighed, his head was resting against the door at the same level as Puck's.
"I hate it too."
"What does the asshole do when he comes here ?" Puck asked.
"He usually sits on the bed and watches me." Kurt said.
"He watches you ?" Puck asked astonished.
"Well, he tries to speak with me but I refuse to answer so after five minutes he just watches me."
"He could fuckin' do the same at school !" Puck said, not shouting this time. They remained silent for another while.
"You should go it's getting late." Kurt stated when Puck could not even see his feet.
"Yeah probably." Puck answered, feeling bad for leaving the smaller boy in his wooden jail.
"Bye Puck."
"See you tomorrow." Puck answered. "It's more like talk to you tomorrow actually." Puck added. Kurt chuckled. Puck left feeling like crap.
