Finn banged on the door of Puck's apartment until his friend opened the door.
"Hey, Finn what's up? I thought you weren't talking to me?" One look at Puck's bruised face and Finn was forced to hold back his rage. He wanted to do nothing more than to kick Blaine in the teeth for hurting Puck this way, but he couldn't help but be angry with Puck for not fighting back. He was once a total BAMF and now he's become the battered wife.
"Can I come in? I wanted to talk to you about something." Finn says trying to remain calm.
Puck steps to the side and Finn walks inside. Puck closes the door. Finn grabs him and throws him onto the floor hard. Puck's blood boils as it rushes to his now red face.
"DUDE WHAT THE HELL!" Puck yells getting to his feet.
"Good, I see you've still got some fight in you." Finn snaps at his friend.
Puck instantly knows what Finn is referring to, but he decides to play dumb. "What are you talking about?"
"Dude don't play dumb with me. Why are you letting Blaine do this to you? You're not that guy…at least I never thought you were. The Puck I knew was a bad ass that didn't take anyone's crap and fought back when a punch was thrown his way." Finn says crossing his arms as he and Puck take a seat on the bed.
Puck starts to cry. "Do you think I like getting hit?" Finn doesn't speak, he knows Puck isn't finished.
"The Puckerman you knew was always alone and unworthy of being loved. Then I found Blaine, and he actually loves me. He just wants me to be better. I need to be better. I've never had someone actually love me back, don't you get that?" Puck lays his head on Finn's shoulder as he cries. He's missed Finn more than anyone could've imagined. He missed his other friends too. Mike, Quinn, Rachel, Santana, Mercedes, they all hated him for taking Blaine from Kurt, at least that's the way he understood it.
"Puck," Finn says softly, "you deserve better than this. I know how much you love Blaine, but you've got to see how bad he's hurting you. He used you when the two of you started hooking up. It was right there in the pics on his phone. He might have had feelings at first, but he doesn't love you. If he did…he wouldn't hit you or call you a Lima Loser behind your back." Puck's face shows surprise at the last part.
"Yeah, Sam and Sebastian both heard him telling people that he's living with a Lima Loser, whose only good for occasional sex. He also said he's going to leave you the second he gets to New York and that he's only living here to save money on rent since you aren't making him share the bills." Finn looks deep into Puck's eyes and he can see every word is hitting hard on the poor boy's heart.
Puck pushes Finn away and paces around the room. Finn gets up and pulls his friend into a tight hug. He shushes Puck trying to calm him. Puck sobs into his shirt. He looks up at Finn. "He's never going to love me the way I thought he loved me is he?"
Finn's heart broke for his friend. "No, I'm sorry I don't think he is Puck."
Finn's phone starts ringing in his pocket. He sees that it's Sam. "Hey Sam, listen I'm with Puck right now and….what? Ok well do you think I should bring Puck?...OK we'll be right there. I love you." Finn hung up the phone and Puck's face held nothing but concern.
"Ok, Puck I need you to stay calm and not freak out, but Blaine kind of had a meltdown after the Victory party in the choir room and he punched Mr. Schue. Then he started laughing and then crying, and then he hid in the corner acting paranoid until the ambulance came and took him to the hospital." Finn pauses to let Puck process everything.
"Well, is he ok? What did Sam say?" Puck says wanting to know more.
"He said the doctors diagnosed him with PTSD. They've got him medicated and he's like his old self again. They think that with everything that happened with Ryan that he just couldn't keep it together anymore. They think he might also be bipolar so they're keeping at the hospital for a few days to make sure he won't hurt anyone. They're giving everyone two hours to see him before he gets taken away." Finn looks for Puck to make a decision on how he wants to pursue this.
"I need to see him. He's sick and so there's a chance him hitting me was all a part of his breakdown. I mean it makes sense. Some nights he just doesn't sleep and acts like he's had a thousand Monsters or something. Then other times he's really happy one minute and then he'll just flip out."
Finn can't believe Puck hasn't done anything about this. "Puck you need to tell the doctors all of this so they'll know how to help him."
Finn drives Puck to the hospital and Blaine is like he was when they first met him. He was smiling and friendly. He remembered almost everything he'd done recently and it was eating him alive. He felt awful for the way he hurt Kurt by cheating on him. He felt even worse for the things he said and did to Puck. He cried the second Puck walked into his room.
"Noah, I'm so sorry for everything. You didn't deserve it. I don't know what's wrong with me. I am so sorry." He sees the damage on Puck's face and it shatters his heart into a million pieces.
Puck is crying too. "I'm sorry, I … I don't know how to feel about all of this. Part of me wants to be with you and help you get better, and then there's part of me that never wants to see you again. I love you, but I'm scared of the person I've become being with you."
The two agree to take time a part from each other, meaning Puck is free to do whatever while Blaine is in the hospital. When Blaine is released they'll see where they stand. Puck tells the doctors about what he told Finn. When he sees Kurt in the waiting area he cries as he walks over to him.
"Kurt, please don't say I told you so." Puck sobs.
"Puck, I'm so sorry for what happened to you. I'm sorry for Blaine too. Despite everything, I never wanted this to happen to either of you. I just wanted you two to I guess find some happiness, but at the same time I kind of wanted you to be miserable, but I never wanted this." They hug as the two have come to an understanding of each other.
…..
Later that night Sebastian meets Kurt at Breadsticks. "I'm glad you came, I really wanted to finish our conversation."
"Me too." Sebastian says as they take their seats at a small booth.
"Look Sebastian, I have a bit of a confession to make, I'm sorry for how I said that I like you too. I was worried about Puck and I wanted to tell Finn so maybe he'd nock some sense into him, but I really meant it as I like you, like you too." Sebastian smiles at Kurt's words. His heart races as he feels Kurt place his hand on top of his own holding it tightly.
"Well," Sebastian says with a slight sigh, "since we're being honest, I need to tell you that I've never had a relationship last more than a day. In fact I usually go for guys that I can just sleep with and then move on, but with you I don't want that. I want more…long term, if you will. I haven't been with another guy since the night we crashed into each other. I haven't even been able to think about another guy even. I can't sleep. I can't breathe. I can't think or form proper sentences. I can't…" Sebastian's can't continue as Kurt has stood up, leaned forward and just planted one on him. Their first kiss and it's the most wonderful kiss Sebastian has ever had. He couldn't help but deepen the kiss. Neither cared who was watching, Sebastian was eighteen and Kurt wasn't an actual teacher at the school. His role was more like Jesse's was when he helped out during their prep time for their first Nationals competition.
Sebastian and Kurt spent the rest of their date talking and getting to know each other better. Sebastian told his mother that he was staying at Sam's house for the night. Little did she know that Kurt lived there too.
"You do know we're not having sex tonight, right?" Kurt says pulling the covers back on his bed.
"I didn't think we were, I figured we'd just sleep; besides I like falling asleep with you in my arms." Sebastian says with a smile.
"Well, I think tonight I should get to hold you since you held me last time." Kurt says slyly.
Sebastian laughs and turns on his other side so Kurt can hold him this time. Kurt pulls him closer and Sebastian winces in pain as Kurt squeezes his busted ribs.
"Are you ok? Did I hurt you?" Kurt sits up and looks horrified.
"I…I'm ok, I just cracked a couple of ribs the other day." He says trying to come up with a satisfying and believable lie.
"How?" Kurt says getting even more worried.
"I, ugh…I was playing with my little sister in the park near the big hill and I tripped on a rock and rolled down and hit another …bigger rock." Sebastian was impressed with his lie, he'd just have to remember it later and to fill Sam in on it too.
"…Ok, well I'll try and be more careful" Kurt lies back down and he carefully holds Sebastian this time.
Around three am, Kurt wakes up and he looks at Sebastian's bruises. He can see marks that look like they came from a fist, and some are like a perfect straight line, like a pole or a stick had hit him. He knew Sebastian had lied to him, but he would wait until Sebastian was awake to talk to him about it.
…..
Sam's phone rings loudly and awakens him and Finn. He sees a text has just arrived. He opens it.
SAM GRAB FINN AND MEET ME OUTSIDE
The text was from Quinn, who should be at Yale, studying for her drama classes. He pushes Finn out of bed and tells him Quinn is outside needing to talk to them. They throw on some shirts and shorts and slip on their flip flops. They find Quinn waiting out in the parking lot. She runs over to them happily. She hugs them both and has the biggest grin on her face they've ever seen.
"I'm sorry to wake you guys, but I just got into town a little while ago, and well I wanted to tell you guys first." She says practically jumping.
"Quinn, what is it?" Finn says trying not to yawn.
"Yeah, you are way too happy for three in the morning." Sam says rubbing his eyes.
She hands them each a manila envelope. The two open them and pull out two sonograms. They can see a baby in each one, but they're labeled baby 1 and baby 2. They look at each other and then to Quinn in confusion.
"Surprise, you're both going to be daddies!" She says jumping and clapping her hands.
"What?" They say together.
"Well, remember when Coach Sylvester asked…well forced you guys to donate sperm? Well after my accident the doctors all said it would be dangerous for me to have a baby, but if I wanted they could store my eggs and I could later use a surrogate to carry them." Finn and Sam put two and two together.
"Quinn, what did you do?" Finn asks gripping Sam's hand tightly.
"Well, I couldn't decide who I wanted the father to be and I thought about whom I loved the most and you two were tied. So when I got chosen for the lead in this big movie they're shooting in New York I decided to use my advance to have a baby and so one baby is mine and Sam's and the other is mine and yours Finn." Neither boy can really breathe. They feel like their hearts are about to explode in their chests. They had barely talked about having kids and here they were, soon to be having children that they didn't even get to have sex to make them. Quinn runs over to them as both hit the ground. They've fainted from the shock. Kurt has heard the noise and comes running out to help. He's shocked to see Quinn there, and even more shocked when she explains why her exboyfriends are on the ground unconscious.
SORRY IT TOOK ME SO LONG TO UPDATE...IT WAS A BUSY WEEK FOR ME, TO SAY THE LEAST. AS ALWAYS PLEASE REVIEW! YOU GUYS KEEP ME GOING!
