Disclaimer: I do not own Glee or any of the characters. This is from an RP I was in. So there are 2 POVs. Please bear with me. I just love me some Puckurt.
Sam didn't really feel like that plan was going to work. But he was going to go through it anyway. It was the least he could do. Sam walked with Puck to the parking lot, Finn wasn't coming with them, he was somewhere else, ready to do his part when needed. Karofsky was already talking alone, saying they wouldn't show up in the moment they walked out of Puck's truck. "You wish, jerk." Sam retorted quickly and he was too much eager to punch his face, even though he knew he should stick to the plan. "We're not cowards, you're the one hitting other people just because you're stronger. So the coward here is pretty much you." Sam tried to not remember the way Karofsky was talking to Quinn the other day, so he wouldn't feel a bigger need to punch his stupid face.
Puck was totally ready for this. He had everything planned from Finn's part to his part. Especially his part. Once they arrived at the parking lot, Puck texted Finn to stay where he was until everything was in order. He promised to Sam and Kurt that Finn and Sam won't get hurt and he intended to keep that promise.
"Sup, Karofsky? Thought you wouldn't show up since you came out of the closet yesterday on the internet. So you've got a thing for Kurt.." He raised an eyebrow. Puck leaned a little bit closer to Sam to whisper but still audible to Dave. "Maybe he's here to feel you up, man." He laughed and looked Dave.
Ok, Sam was confused. Was he really that dumb that he never understood stuff or was he just too interested in his own stuff to notice the rest? Suddenly it kind of made sense, that was why Puck was so protective of Kurt lately. Ok, resuming this: Puck was dating Kurt and Karofsky was also gay and had a thing for Kurt? Really, how in hell had he missed all of that?
Sam understood that Karofsky was trying to turn him against Puck, but for a second the only thing he could do was to look between the two of them without any kind of reaction. Also, the comment about Puck eyeing him on the showers was far too unexpected to him, he realized David was only playing with his head, but still it just left him without reaction for some more seconds.
The moment Sam's thoughts came back to him he pushed Karofsky strongly against the car behind him and he knew he shouldn't break his face right now because it was not part of the plan. "Look here, idiot, are you aware that gay guys can have friends without being interested in them? If Puck's with Kurt then he ain't eyeing anyone else." Ok, Sam wasn't so sure about that, but he figured out he would have to stay by Puck now and ask him what the hell was going on later.
Puck stood up slowly and dusted the dirt off him and picked up the wedding topper. He furrowed his eyebrows as he looked at it. "What is this? Why do you carry this around? You want to secretly become a wedding planner or something? What?" Puck doesn't have an idea why Karofsky tossed the topper on the ground next to him.
Puck grimaced at Karofsky's way to convert Sam into his side while the blonde boy had the larger man pinned up against the car. "Seriously? I would never fucking look at Sam in the showers. He's my friend. Unlike you. Some little birdie told me that when Sam was drinking from the drinking fountain, you checked his ass out and he wasn't even naked. Gross." He laughed but then he looked at Sam. "No offense, dude."
Puck pulled Sam from Karofsky. "Calm down." He whispered. He folded his arms over his chest with the cake topper in his hand. "To be honest in the showers, there was only one person I was looking at. And it was Kurt Hummel." Puck grinned.
Sam looked from Karofsky to Puck like if he was watching a ping-pong match. What the fuck? How had this become about him? Why were they suddenly about who was eyeing him either naked or dressed. Ok, Sam was not homophobic at all, but that was getting weird and that was freaking him out a little bit. "Ok, stop talking about me. I'd really rather not have this conversation at all." The guy almost yelled, but then Puck managed to do what he wanted and pissed Karofsky out. Before he even realized what was going on, because all that conversation was getting way too confusing Sam got kicked on his balls and fell into the ground groaning in pain. That fucker.
Sam was defenseless when David kicked him again but quickly he remained his focus and managed to escape most of the kicks, but he was still on the floor, he couldn't really get up right now and he couldn't attack Karofsky either. He had to trust in the plan they had. When Karofsky stopped hitting them and started rambling, Sam got into sitting position and looked over at Puck that seemed a little bit worst than him. Where the fuck was Finn when he was needed? It hit a nerve when Karofsky talked about Finn stealing Quinn from him, but he managed to remain calm. "Of course I would be pissed if Finn took Quinn, but that's because Quinn is my girlfriend. While Kurt wants nothing to do with you. If Quinn didn't love me back I couldn't be mad at some other guy just because she didn't love me, it's not her fault nor the other guy's fault that she likes him more than me. Fortunately, I don't really have that problem, since Quinn loves me, you're the one that isn't loved." Sam said with coldness in his tone, then he tried to ignore the pain so he could get up and protect himself in David decided to attack him because of what he said.
Puck didn't even flinch when Karofsky punched him. He stayed as calm as he can and controlled his urge to punch Karofsky. Everybody knows Puck's punch is like being hit by a large brick. He can pass you out in one punch. Why? He's been trained and he's been fighting a lot of stronger people than he is.
"Shit!" Puck exclaimed when Sam got kicked in the balls and got kicked again. He's promise to Kurt and Sam was totally broken now. "Ok. Karofsky, why are you so mad at Sam? I thought you're mad at me for stealing Kurt away from you? Why don't you kick me in the balls instead? OR you kicked him because you wanna feel his cock if he's hard for you." He raised an eyebrow at Karofsky. Puck was ready if he was gonna get kicked in the nads because he was wearing a metal underwear. It was given to him by his mom. Yeah, don't ask.
Puck helped Sam to is truck, far away from Karofsky. "Don't let him get into your mind. And you can't get hurt anymore. I promised Kurt. And Quinn's totally gonna kill me." He went back in front of Karofsky, leaving Sam in is truck. Finn the signal is already out. Where the hell are you!? Puck faced Karofsky. "What do you really want, Karofsky?" His nose was bleeding and he didn't care to wipe off the blood. All he wanted to do was to get this over with. "If you want Kurt… You can't have him."
What was happening suddenly Figgins and Finn where there and he was pinned against a car. Sam was not strong enough though because Karofky kicked him in the balls again so he fell to the floor and he ran towards Puck with the knife and stabbed him in the stomach but enough so it wouldn't kill him. "I HOPE YOU ARE HAPPY WITH KURT HE IS MY EVERYTHING AND I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU FOR THIS!" Karofsky yelled.
Puck didn't know what was going on. All he knew there was great pain on his stomach that made him groan out loud. It was like his skin was ripping. Puck could hear the faint scream of Karofsky. Finn and Figgins caught Karofsky in the act. Sam tried his best to trip Karofsky and he succeeded. Finn pinned Karofsky to the ground to keep him in place while Figgins called the jocks and Schuester to help Finn hold down the big guy.
Puck was just lying there in pain. He put his hand on the aching part of his stomach and felt something sticking out of it. What the hell? He could feel some sticky liquid too.
Schuester called the cops. He quickly ran to Puck's side when he saw the poor young boy was on the ground full of bruises and a knife stuck on his stomach. He called an ambulance and tried to stop the bleeding on Puck's big cut.
Kurt watched as there was some form of gathering near the door entrance to the school, he stopped for a moment and rolled his eyes; realizing it was probably a fight.
"Can you see anything?" he asked to blonde girl next to him, trying to look out between the small crowd of students watching. When she replied that there was a fight, Kurt furrowed his brows with worry. Wait… he realized that Puck said something about a fight the night before when they were talking about Karfosky. Kurt felt like his heart was at the back of his throat when he saw Mr. Schuester rush over to a boy on the floor… oh my God.
"Move!" Kurt shouted, dropping his text books to the floor and shoving past the students who started shouting back to him. He ran out of the entrance, tears streaming down his face when he saw that his beautiful boyfriend was on the floor with a puddle of blood nearby. Kurt felt like he couldn't breathe, but he kept running; choking back on tears as he came face-to-face with the broken boy laying on the floor. Kurt knelt at his side and kept crying, shaking his head.
"Noah… I… oh God… Noah…" he sobbed, taking Puck's hands into his own. Mr. Schuester was talking to a member of the medical team, pointing over to where the incident had happened. "Noah… why… I love you," Kurt sobbed, placing a weak kiss to his partner's lips.
When the ambulance was parked up, the medical team rushed over with a stretcher for Puck. 2/3 members of the medical team went over to Sam in his car, and several police officers were taking Karofsky under arrest.
Puck tried his best not to close his eyes even though his stomach was so painful. It was like his body was on fire and he was burning by the second, starting from his stomach. He was breathing a little hard because every time he inhaled, his stomach got more painful.
He felt a presence on his side, crying. Fuck. I know that voice. Puck tried to focus his eyes and look up at Kurt, squinting. If it weren't for the sun, he wouldn't get a minimal view of his boyfriend. Puck couldn't squeeze Kurt's hand back, fearing that if he squeezed it his blood will ooze faster out of his cut.
"Shh.." Puck hushed Kurt softly. "Baby.. What are.. you doing here? Get back.. inside the school. Don't cry.." He furrowed his eyebrows slightly. "I'm.. fine." Puck winced. "You better.. get away from me. Your.. clothes might.. get ruined." He laughed just softly. "My plan.. worked. He's.. never gonna.. never gonna.. hurt you." Puck smiled like there was nothing wrong with him.
He closed his eyes when Kurt kissed his open mouth, kissing back as much as he can. "I love you too.. Kurt."
Puck felt himself getting sleepy and his body was really, really tired. But he fought it and knew if he gave up and just went to 'sleep', he might never see Kurt again and that was he feared the most. Puck felt himself being lifted up away from Kurt. "Kurt.." He tried to yell it out loud so he can get the smaller boy's hand and keep him close to him.
A bunch of people were around him, putting a some kind of a mask on his face. He guessed it was oxygen, hoping it wasn't anesthesia. He felt them moving and a loud noise of the siren was all he could hear. "Mr. Schue?" He mumbled out but he couldn't be understood by the mask and the noise of the siren was overpowering every other sound. Puck closed his eyes and couldn't fight it anymore.
As soon as the ambulance arrived at the hospital, the nurses rushed Puck into the emergency room to get him ready for the surgery. The doctors worked on him. He had bruises and a minimal internal bleeding due to all the kicking Karofsky did, causing him to bleed so much when he was stabbed on the stomach.
Kurt nodded at Sam's offer and continued to cry. He didn't care if Puck's cut wasn't deep, it still felt like this was all his fault. If Kurt hadn't gone to school after the beating Karofsky gave him, no one would know. If Kurt wasn't gay, none of this would've happened.
"I am so, so sorry," Kurt choked as he sat in the back of Sam's car next to his elder brother. He knew that Finn and Sam would have to give accounts to the police the moment they arrived at the hospital, Kurt never wanted that for any of them. He leaned into Finn's hug and kept crying; he hated not being able to see how Puck was or the fact that Mr. Schue had gone with him. Kurt kept shaking his head, denying everything that happened, he was crying silently and felt like he wanted to punch the life out of David Karofsky. How on earth did he have the guts to stab someone? Kurt thought that simply hitting Sam and Puck was bad enough but he never ever prepared himself for Karofsky to be so violent. He didn't think anyone was prepared.
When they arrived at the hospital, the three boys headed towards the reception, Finn doing all of the talking considering Kurt had been reduced to tears and Sam was too exhausted. They followed the nurses instructions and had to wait outside of an empty room; Puck still being in surgery due to his knife wound. No doubt someone had called Puck's family to be on their way to see him. Kurt sat down, gripping onto a plastic cup that was filled with water, his sobs still coming and going as they waited nervously.
Sarah Puckerman and Chloe Puckerman arrived at the hospital as soon as they were called. Sarah was talking to the nurses and trying to ask where his son was but the nurse only said to wait where the others were. When they reached the room, Chloe, Puck's 6 years old sister, ran up to Finn and hugged him. "Finn!"
Don't be shy to post a review :)
