The Night and Days of Kurt: Finale

Night #141: Part 1

KURT

Kurt sits back after giving Sam his third glass of water, the first being thrown back up into a bowl that Kurt had given him as well for drinking too fast. The second was used for Sam to gargle and spit out while the last was for Sam to drink slowly. The entire time, after Kurt had cried and tried getting a weak Sam off of the floor before hearing the weak boy request for water, Kurt had sat at Sam's side with a pale face and concerned eyes. He couldn't even find himself sitting next to Sam, always a foot away when he wasn't giving him a glass to drink from. Sam stayed propped up in the corner of the cabinets, eying Kurt every other moment.

I . . . I . . .

"Kurt-"

"When were you going to tell me?" Kurt can't but help cut off Sam's first statement that didn't involve water or sorry in the words. "Were you just going to wait until you . . . I mean. What do you even have? What's wrong with you?"

Sam sighs before he looks to the cabinets beside his body. "I have cancer." His hoarse voice makes it even harder for Kurt to hear and flinch at. "I found out a few months. It was nothing at first, but then things started becoming harder the colder it got. And . . . I've been lying when I've said I've been going to see my mom. She's been taking me to the doctors. And I lied to her as well because she thinks Tina works there. It's just one big . . . giant lie." Sam lets out a shaky breath as his lips quiver. "It's just gotten bigger and bigger because I didn't want to tell anyone. Well . . . mom eventually found out. After a month or so because I couldn't have any notices or bills sent here, so she was the next best choice." Sam sighs before deciding to give Kurt the full story. "She's been helping me pay the bills since. Mainly from my college fund so dad won't find out."

Kurt lets out a surprisingly stable breath, although he keeps his eyes averted from Sam. "How far along are you?"

Sam shrugs. "I don't know. I've lost track at this point. I just know that everything seems to be getting worse. I'm getting sick left and right, not feeling like doing anything."

"Those phone calls." Kurt suddenly mutters before clearing his throat. "There were times where I'd think I'm hearing you talk to someone in the middle of the night, or you suddenly ending a call when we get home. That has to do with this, right?"

Sam nods. "The doctor I have works night shifts so it's easier to get a hold of him. I've been trying to keep them secret, but I guess that hasn't been working." Sam coughs before he picks up the glass of water and keeps sipping.

"So why haven't you told us? Why haven't you told the people you love? Why'd I have to find out by-" Kurt suddenly stops as his voice starts shaking, but he quickly continues. "Do you know how terrifying it was to find you on the floor. I thought you were dead. I thought-" Kurt stops again as he stumbles to his feet. "You were just still. I had to wait for a minute before you finally responded to me, and here I was thinking the worst."

"I was waiting for more confirmation." Sam strains to raise his voice so Kurt will hear him instead of his ramblings. "We had another x-ray and we're waiting to see how bad it was. I didn't want you guys to panic."

"Panic!" Kurt's voice goes up an octave. "Panicking is the last thing that I'll do. The first thing that I was going to do was cry. I want to cry because you were dead. Just foaming at the mouth and not . . . you were cold Sam. So cold." Kurt stops as the tears on his face cover his mouth and he has to dry them. "My point is, you should have told us. If anything, for you to not have dealt with this alone for so long. Noah and I could have been here to help you. We were worried when you were staring into space for ten minutes. We were ready to take you to the Doctor's because we didn't know what was going on. We need to know. We needed to . . . damn you, Sam."

"Please, Kurt." Sam pleads weakly. "Just listen to me. Or calm down. Do something. Just don't cry. Please. It hurts too much."

Kurt stops his pacing and stares at Puck with dripping eyes. He struggles to say something more, but he chooses to drop down in the kitchen chair as he struggles to take in everything. He can't help that his eyes keep drifting towards where he had found Sam's body.

That's something that no one should ever see.

"Kurt, I-" Sam is cut off by the sound of Kurt's phone going off.

Kurt glances to Sam with a sigh. Sam gives him a small nod before returning to his drink. Kurt glances at the boy again before pulling out his phone, frowning even more when he sees Noah's name appear.

He never calls during work.

"Noah." Kurt answers slowly.

"Kurt." Noah sounds out of breath as he hears Kurt. "I need you . . . I need you to come to the shop. Something's happened."

"What?" Kurt slowly stands up. "What happened? Why are you out of breath?"

Noah sighs before taking in a deep breath. "Someone set the place on fire."

Wow. Sorry to leave you guys with another cliffhanger, but they're kind of fun. . So let me know on what you think on the developing story lines and the new ones. I'm interested in hearing what you think.
