Chapter 9

The new Directions found Blaine, solemnly, sat in the hospital waiting room. Running up to him Blaine was bombarded with questions.
"Is Kurt alright?"
"Please, God, tell me what that man said wasn't true?"
"Kurt would have told us, wouldn't he?" Blaine heard the uncertainty in the voices of the group and lifted his head. Each member had looks of sadness or anger. The boys and their teacher all looked like they wanted to go and murder that sick bastard, while Artie had a look of guilt and sadness in his eyes. The girls all had tears in their eyes.
"I don't know." Blaine watched as the group went silent and took seats around him. He was surprised when Mercedes went to sit next to him, grabbing his hand as she did so. Blaine gave her a small smile which he was surprised she returned.

"You need to tell us what's happened." Blaine nodded.
"I'm not sure about everything that's been going on but from what I can gather this has been happening for a while." Blaine watched as guilt flashed across everyone's faces. Mercedes was the worse. She looked angry and sad and Blaine didn't have to guess what two people she was angry at. "I don't think his parents actually care about him. I mean I've never met them but if they did they would have...they would have stopped that dick from doing what he did to Kurt.
He's been hurting Kurt. Hell I've seen the scars Kurt has from it. I don't know exactly what he did but...but I'm guessing he's been raping Kurt. Kurt wouldn't tell me who it was. Hell he didn't even want to tell me what'd happened."

"Why'd he tell you then?"
"I'm getting to that." The group remained silent, watching Blaine intently. "You know that time I came in your choir room and Kurt, literally, broke down." Under different circumstances Blaine would have felt glad that they had the nerve to look guilty. However, Blaine was barely holding back the tears as the memories of what he had seen came into his head. "Well, I took Kurt home after that. I had no idea what was going to happen and I can't help but blame myself for what happened. If I had known I wouldn't have taken Kurt back." Mercedes put a comforting hand on his knee. Blaine looked at the black girl and he felt tears run down his face when he looked into her sad eyes.

"What happened, boo?" She whispered to him.
"That man, his Uncle, he grabbed Kurt out of my car when I pulled up. He...he kept calling him 'slut'...I didn't realize until it happened. He...there were people watching from the street. I don't understand how they could stand it. Kurt...he..." Blaine breathed deeply as memories of Kurt's screams and broken body came into his mind. "The man pushed Kurt into a house and...And there where these men waiting for him...and they..." Blaine couldn't carry on. He just couldn't. Luckily, the New Directions got the gist of it.

"I'm gonna kill the sick bastards that did this." Puck shouted as he jumped to his feet.
"Get in line Puckerman." Santana had jumped to her feet.
"I thought Lima didn't like dolphins." Brittany sounded so confused but Blaine could detect a hint of great sadness in her child like voice. It sounded as if she didn't want to believe that Kurt had gotten raped.
"They were probably drugged up and didn't care." Artie took the blonde girls hand as tears made themselves known in her eyes.
"I'm so stupid." Blaine looked over in shock. Will Shuester was a man who prided himself in knowing and helping his students. But here he was. In a waiting room waiting to see if one of his Glee kids would make it or not. It was his responsibility to know what was wrong with them. He should have realized. He had even met Mr and Mrs Hummel. He had seen them and didn't realize they were druggies and where selling their own son.
"We all are Mr Schue. We knew something was wrong yet we all just ignored it." The group nodded at what Rachel said. "Blaine I'm sorry for the things I said and I'm glad you cared enough about Kurt to make sure he was okay." She sent Blaine a sort of watery smile which Blaine returned.

"I just can't believe we never knew."
"None of us can Finn. I mean Kurt is a bit secretive but..."
"No one could have guessed he'd be hiding something so terrible." Mercedes finished for Rachel.
"He's gonna be okay though? Isn't he?"
"He has to be Tina." Mike answered before placing a kiss to her cheek. Blaine watched in awe as the new Directions comforted each other.

About 3 hours later a doctor came through the swinging doors. The group looked up as he approached him.
"Is he gonna be okay?"
"Is he alive?" The doctor looked at the group as these two questions were asked, constantly. He looked over to Mr Schue before starting to speak.
"Are you his Father?" Mr Schue shook his head.
"I'm his teacher and we told the nurse that Kurt's parents aren't to be contacted." The doctor nodded.

"Kurt is alive but he's not stable. We nearly lost him a few times in surgery but...he managed to pull through but only just. He lost a lot of blood and Kurt showed signs of going into shock as soon as the knife went in. Also, there's a risk of infection. We know the blood on the knife's only Kurt's but we're still running tests on the knife and Kurt's blood." There Blaine did not fail to notice the sadness in the Doctors eyes. It was as if the Doctor was worried Kurt wouldn't be okay. .
"When's he going to wake up?" The Doctor looked over at Blaine with an apology plainly shown on his face.
"We don't know. The drugs are keeping Kurt from experiencing any pain and...Under normal circumstances he would be awake within the next 24 hours and make a quick recovery. However, Kurt's body has seemed to shut down. He's in a coma and might not wake up for a while, if he ever actually does."
"Holy shit. Hummel'll wake up though. He'll be okay." Puck shouted as he stood up, sounding desperate and more upset than any of the members had heard him since losing Beth.
"Physically, I've told you what's wrong. Emotionally, Kurt isn't and probably won't be alright. When and if he wakes up Kurt he'll have to start seeing a therapist. I'm honestly surprised he wasn't recommended to see a therapist after the attack but I'm sure there's a logical explanation to this. I'm, honestly, surprised Kurt hasn't had a panic attack yet but it does seem Kurt is strong. Now I'd recommend one at a time to see him but only for a few minutes. He's in room 210." As he said this the Doctor left the group.

Blaine stood up as soon as the Doctor had left. None of the rest of the group made any objections to this as Blaine made his way to Kurt's hospital room. Blaine punched the door open, quietly. He let out a small gasp as he set eyes on Kurt. Tears fell down his face as Blaine grabbed Kurt pale hand. Kurt was white as a sheet and he was hooked up to so many machines. Blaine knew they were the machines that where keeping him stable. Kurt's breathing was messed up. There was a large tube that was stuck down Kurt's throat. The only sound in the room was the shallow breathing of Kurt and the continuous beeping of the heart monitor.

The blanket had been pulled down to cover Kurt's legs, leaving Kurt's bare torso exposed. There was a large bandage, wrapped around the whole of Kurt's side, where the knife had been stabbed through. Kurt's pale, lifeless body lay limp and fragile on the bed. His eyes were closed in a way that suggested the boy was in deep pin. The only thing Blaine wanted to do in that instance was rip apart the bastard who had made Kurt like this.

Blaine sat there, clutching onto Kurt's limp hand, until a nurse came to pull him out of the room. He was led back to the waiting room, images of Kurt's fragile being engraved in his head. As soon as he entered the waiting room he collapsed into the nearest plastic chair and broke down into tears.
