"What the fuck?" Thad was completely pissed as soon as he saw the texts that had popped up on Kurt's cell phone. "Now I know why Kurt refuses to watch porn! If I saw something like this on my girl's phone, I'd punch the asshole that sent her that right in the face! Wes this is becoming ridiculous!"
Wes, Thad and David were in the middle of a discussion about the text messages on Kurt's phone.
"That is way inappropriate," David said. "And that's a sexual harassment lawsuit. It's illegal for this Karofsky guy to be doing this. And how the hell did he even get a cell phone? That's what I wanna know!"
"That's probably what Kurt is asking himself, too." Wes was currently pacing back and forth. He was trying to figure out how the hell he was going to get things fixed for Kurt. He wanted Kurt to feel safe in the school and he knew Kurt wasn't going to feel comfortable if this kept happening. It was only a matter of time until Kurt actually started passing out in rehearsals due to being sick with anxiety.
"Why didn't he say anything right from the gecko about his discomfort?" David felt completely sick to his stomach with guilt.
"He doesn't want to go see a psychiatrist. He doesn't want to talk about it and he'd rather have it hanging over his head and drive himself crazy with worry than actually ask for help," Wes explained.
"Well he should!" Thad said, burying his head into his hands. "He's burying his head in the sand and if he doesn't stop denying that he needs help, he's gonna end up in the hospital! The last thing we want is for him to have a stomach ulcer! Why won't he just come to one of us?"
"He's used to being independent about dealing with his problems. He's being selfish over it because he's worried that if his father knew about this, Burt will have another heart attack. He's trying to be selfless and protect his dad, but if this keeps up and we don't say anything to his family, Burt's gonna kill us and not trust us with anything we do, and I can't live with that," David said.
Wes sighed in frustration. "Look, I'll drag him to a psychiatrist kicking and screaming until he finally agrees to talk to somebody. He's traumatized, but he's too embarrassed to admit it."
"Well he shouldn't be. He knows us well enough to trust us with anything, but he's convinced that it's a weakness," David said.
"David, that's a bucket load of bullshit!" Thad said angrily. He looked ready to concave his fist against the wall. "I really don't want to force Kurt into anything, but this is getting on my nerves."
"Thad, c'mon, give him a break already!" David said. "He's had it hard his whole life and he's used to being on his own with everything."
"Well, I've already decided that I'm not accepting that!" Thad said angrily. "I'm not accepting any excuses."
"Look, we just don't want you to push him too much," David said, trying to be reasonable.
"I'm not saying that I'm trying to pressure him. I'm just saying that if I have to forcefully get him to go to Dalton's counseling center, I'd do that! Obviously his health is more important," Thad insisted.
"We know his health is the important thing, but I don't want to do anything that will make Kurt feel uncomfortable. And I'm not saying that I wanna make him wait until things get worse. I'm just saying we should give him all the time he wants to think over what he wants to do. If he decides he wants counseling that is just fine. But If he doesn't want to because he doesn't feel comfortable doing that, that's alright too. We'll just give him time to think," Wes said.
"Look, I just don't want him getting sick from stress," Thad said shaking his head.
"I tried telling him that last night, but he refused," Wes said.
"Well try again," David insisted.
"Fine." Wes walked out, debating how the heck he was supposed to confront Kurt about this.
