A/N: So I apologize again for the delay. If any of you read my other story I have going right now, you will see basically the same thing there. I was having issues with the roommate (not going into that) and then I got sick, both of which prevented me from updating. But here is the new update.

This one is a little bit of a different format. :)

I hope you guys still like it! As always, read and review! It seriously makes my day to see a review or anything!

Denver 2

Wes POV


"Kurt, are you sure you are okay?" I heard for what must have been the 10th time that morning. I looked around from the passenger seat of the van to see Blaine looking at Kurt who was in the furthest back seats of the van next to Jeff. Kurt had his head resting against the window and when he raised it, even I could see how pale he looked.

"What? Oh yeah, I'm fine Blaine. I've told you that about 10 times already." Kurt's voice sounded even higher than usual, which was definitely saying something.

"Jeff, feel his forehead." Nick instructed from the driver's seat, not taking his eyes off the road. I watched as Jeff went to oblige and Kurt jerked away from Jeff's hand.

"I'm fine. I'm just tired." He said looking at all of us.

"Is Kurt scheduled to drive anytime soon? Because if he is, he absolutely is not." Blaine said, raising his voice so we could hear him in the front.

"Blaine! I'm fine!" Kurt tried to raise his voice but everyone in the car noticed him cringe and put his hand to his head.

"Kurt, you nearly fell asleep driving once and you did not look this bad then." Blaine shot back. "There is no way you are driving like this."

"I could take his driving." Jeff suggested, looking hopeful.

"Absolutely not Jeff." David responded almost instantly.

"Unless we want to die or at least crash." Thad piped up.

"I'm not that bad." Jeff said.

"Jeff, you have crashed two cars before. And that was when you were actually paying attention and not surrounded by the distraction of 7 other people. You are NOT driving'." I said. "Besides, Kurt isn't scheduled until Orlando so no rearranging needed there." I was looking at the list of the driving schedule that I had arranged as I said this.

"That one time was the deer's fault, that wasn't my fault." Jeff protested.

"What about the second time? You nearly killed Wes." David asked and I nodded, remembering how Jeff had suddenly driven off the road on that rainy night and crashed into a fence. I refused after that to ever let him drive me again.

"Well yeah… that was my fault." Jeff admitted.

"I still don't really know why I agreed to let you drive me that night." I said, remembering the severe lack of judgment that I had that night.

"I don't think you had any other choice." David said.

"How long until we get to the mall?" Chad asked smoothly changing the subject.

"About 25 minutes. Depending on Nick's driving." I said grinning.

"Are we going to harp on my driving now?" Nick asked. " I am a great driver. I've only been pulled over once and as I recall, that was Chad's fault for being an idiot in the backseat and catching the attention of that police officer and then causing that police officer to call another two police cars and holding us up for 2 hours. It will be 25 minutes."

"That was highly amusing." Chad remarked.

"Was not. I thought I was going to lose my license." Nick replied.

"You were not even close to that. Don't exaggerate." Chad said.

"Kurt, why don't you sleep if you are that tired? You were coughing a lot last night." Blaine suggested.

"I'm fine Blaine." Kurt snapped, his eyes going back to looking out the window.

Blaine turned his body back around and I could see the concern in his face. I could also see it reflected in David's, Nick's, Chad's, and Thad's faces and I knew it would be showing in my face. Only Jeff remained oblivious as we all realized something wasn't right with Kurt.

"We are NOT going into a Gap." Kurt's weak voice came from the back of the van as Nick pulled into a parking lot in front of said shop. I exchanged a look with Nick before I responded to Kurt's statement.

"Actually Kurt, we were thinking you and Blaine could stay in the van; considering how much you both dislike Gap as much as you do." I said hesitantly.

"No. Shopping is shopping. It doesn't matter if it's a Gap." Kurt responded. I heard Blaine's groan of frustration as we all tumbled out of the van.

"Whoa there." I said once I got out of the passenger seat and Kurt stumbled into me. His hand gripped my arm and he closed his eyes.

"Kurt?"

"I'm good. Just stood up too quickly." Kurt's eyes remained closed for a few more moments before he opened them and took his hand off my arm. I watched as he started to walk towards the door of the Gap store and I saw him stumble again. Chad, who was closest, grabbed his shoulder and steadied him, looking at him anxiously. Kurt shook him off and walked into the store after Jeff.

By the time I got in the doors, the others had all spread out across the store. Jeff and Blaine were by the sunglasses stand, Jeff was trying on some colorful yellow and pink ones, but I could see Blaine looking anxiously at Kurt who was half-standing at the sweater table. He looked like he was unable to stand up fully and I started moving towards him. Kurt looked up and in that instant I realized what was going to happen. Kurt started to sag and I bolted towards him. I reached him just as his legs fully gave out. We both fell to the ground, knocking over a metal stand of sweaters which flew everywhere around us. One of them cushioned my head as I hit the ground but my elbow received the full impact and I groaned at the pain shooting through my arm.

"Kurt!" I heard Blaine yell from somewhere nearby. I looked down at the boy who was lying in my arms in top of me. His eyes were closed and I could feel how warm he was.

"DUDE!" That was David's voice that I heard as the other boys and the other customers and employees in the store all rushed over to us.

"Call the police! Call the navy! Call the marines! Call the fire engines! Call the army! Call 911!" I could hear Jeff yelling at the top of his lungs.

"Jeff, shut up." David snapped. He was kneeling at my feet, already dialing his cellphone. Blaine was at my side, gripping Kurt's hand, his face almost as pale as Kurt's.

"Hey Blaine, we get that you are worried and we are worried too; but if you grasp Kurt's hand any harder, you'll break it and he definitely won't thank you for that when he wakes up." Nick remarked and while Blaine didn't let go of Kurt's hand, he did loosen his grip a little.


"WHERE IS HE?" Jeff yelled as we all ran into the Denver hospital. Blaine had gone in the ambulance with Kurt while the rest of us had come in the van.

"Jeff, shut up!" Thad said as he and Chad went over to the front desk.

"Go and sit down." David said pointing to the plastic chairs in the waiting room.

"I'm not a child." Jeff protested.

"Jeff, just go sit down." David said again. Jeff grumbled but he did indeed go and sit down.

"What do you think?" I asked David as we waited for Chad and Thad to join us.

"I don't know. But I'm going to bet that whatever it is, Blaine will get it too. And perhaps some of us." David replied. Chad and Thad joined us a few minutes later and announced what they had found out.

"3rd floor. Blaine is up there." Chad said.

"Elevator time." Jeff said as he bounced over to us and then he turned around and bounced towards the elevator. I followed him with all of the others and once the 6 of us were in the elevator, we headed up to the 3rd floor.

"Blaine!" Nick called out as we stepped out of the elevator and onto the 3rd floor. I saw Blaine sitting on the floor leaning against the wall. He looked up and I thought his face looked like it was tinged green.

"He's caught it." David muttered from my left and I nodded in agreement.

"He started throwing up in the ambulance. It got everywhere." Blaine motioned to his shirt and I did indeed notice that his shirt was indeed no longer blue but a wide variety of colors.

"That stinks." Jeff commented wrinkling his nose.

I chose to ignore Jeff's comment, instead turning to Blaine. "How is he otherwise?" I asked.

"Fever, throwing up, dehydration, unconscious." Blaine said. "That's all I know. They made me stay here." Blaine's voice sounded fainter than usual and his face actually looked even greener by the second.

"What about you buddy?" Thad asked, noticing, like David and I, how green Blaine looked.

"I'm-" Blaine broke off as he jumped up and dashed towards the nearest garbage can to throw up in it.

"Called it." David murmured as we all watched, helpless to do anything.

"DOCTOR!" Jeff bellowed at the top of his lungs.

A nurse appeared around the corner, saw us, saw Blaine who was now huddled on the floor next to the garbage can and disappeared. She was back a few minutes later with a smaller garbage bin and a wheelchair which she hurriedly bundled Blaine into and then the two of them disappeared.

"Well, who wants to place bets that whatever they have is contagious?" Jeff asked as we all stood in shock at the speed at which Blaine had disappeared.


"I spy something beginning with C." Jeff said.

"Chair." Chad guessed without leaving a single second for thought.

"How did you get that so fast?" Jeff exclaimed looking at Chad with a surprised expression on his face.

"You've done C three times already and you've done chair each time." Chad responded.

"How about F?" Jeff suggested.

"Floor." I replied, already knowing what Jeff was going with that one.

"G?"

"Garbage Can." Thad chimed in.

"It's hard to be creative in a hospital waiting room! This game is so much more fun in the car!" Jeff protested.

"No Jeff, it's exactly the same for you then. In the car you do grass, road, sign and tree. All the time." Thad commented.

"Or you pick us." David piped up.

"When are we going to even hear anything? It's been 2 hours. He wouldn't even tell us how they were when he came to get their parents' phone numbers. " Jeff complained, switching subjects like only Jeff could.

"Speak of the devil, there he is now." I looked over at where Nick was looking and did indeed see the man in the white coat who we had spoken to briefly earlier.

"Well, Kurt has strep and the flu and Blaine has the flu. They were both dehydrated and judging by the fact that you boys are all together, you 6 probably are too. A nurse is going to bring you bottles of water soon that you will all need to drink, and from now on you have to be more careful. Especially going through different elevations, as it can really mess with your body." The doctor said looking at all of us.

"How are they? Can we see them?" Chad asked and the doctor shook his head.

"No. They are both doing fine and responding to the medicine we are giving them, but they are both asleep now and we don't want you lot going in and waking them up."

"Did you talk to their parents?" David asked.

"Yes. We had to get the permission to treat them." The doctor responded. "We are going to have to keep both of them here overnight. And we can't force any of you to stay and you certainly don't have to stay overnight but we would like to have you stay for at least a few more hours so we can make sure you all get rehydrated and don't show any signs of flu or strep and we certainly don't want any of you passing out. Is that okay with you boys?" The doctor looked around at all of us and I could see all of the others agreeing.

"There's no point in doing anything when we are missing two members of the group." I said. The doctor nodded his head and walked away from us and down the corridor, disappearing from site. It was a few moments before a nurse came around the same corner holding a container which she started pulling water bottles out of. I noticed that David seemed quite taken by the young, attractive nurse and watched her as she walked away. I grabbed one of the water bottles, opened it, and threw a little at David. He sputtered and glared at me

"What was that for?" He asked.

"The fact that you seemed to conveniently forget that you have a girlfriend." I replied taking the same water bottle and throwing it back to take a drink.

"Do you think Kurt and Blaine will be able to continue the trip? I mean Kurt's dad is quite protective of him and if he knows that he was in the hospital only a few cities into this trip…" Chad trailed off. He was playing with the water bottle in his hands, looking worried.

"I think so. Well at least Blaine's will… they were pretty happy to have him out of their way for a few months…" I sighed as I thought about Blaine's unaccepting parents. "As for Kurt's dad, I hope so. This trip was pretty expensive…"

"Even with the money we managed to raise for Kurt to come with us." David said.

"Which Blaine has forbidden us to talk about," I reminded.

"Well either way, we won't forget about Denver anytime soon…" Thad said.
