"The Hummel Clan"

Breathe

(Gabe POV)

Three hours had passed since we last heard from Kurt, my father had called a meeting with everyone and ordered them to search everywhere no matter how remote and unlikely for my brother to be. I suppose that under normal circumstances I would be paying attention and trying to call as many people as possible to help us out but after what Kurt told me I can't help but think that the only thing we're looking for is a corpse and I'm in no rush to do that; I want to remember my brother as he was and not think about funerals.

I'm snapped out of my dark thought by my dad's phone.

"What?" my dad yells angrily, trying to end the call as soon as possible so he could go back to searching. As the person on the other side speaks my father grows pale and sits down heavily on the chair.

"W-W-Where?" we all wait for the person to answer "We're on our way" he snaps and rushes out of the building, all of us at his heels.

"Dad, what the hell happened?" I say as soon as we're on one of the many black cars that we own.

"Take us to the air strip" he orders before turning to face me. "They found Kurt"

The car remains silent before Blaine manages to say something "What?"

"Paul Karofsky just called me to say that he was in Canada and had found Kurt lying near the road on his way out of a meeting and rushed him to the hospital" he answers detachedly.

"How bad is he?" I ask dreading the answer.

"When Paul got to him his breathing was labored and there was a lot of blood but by the time they got him in the car and drove him to the hospital he-' he choked and drank some whisky before continuing-' by the time they got to the hospital he had stopped breathing and the doctors are trying everything they can but Paul told me it didn't look good" he took a deep breath and looked at each and every one of us before continuing "It's possible that we're just going to the hospital to say goodbye or pick up a body" he whispers.

"No!" Blaine snaps "Kurt's strong, he's the strongest person I've ever met, he'll hang in there and pull through"

"He's right we can't think like that dad, Kurt is trying his hardest to stay alive and we have to be strong for him" I say numbly "My brother will pull through, for years he's been our rock father, now it's our turn so wipe those tears away, drink the whisky and prepare to harass some doctors and nurses when we land" I smile and accept the glass of whisky he offers all of us.

"Now is not the time for dapperness" I say to Nick when he stares at his glass.

"To Kurt" he raises his glass and downs it with the rest of us.

We all jump out of the car and run to one of the jets, several of our men and bodyguards fitting themselves in other jets, all of them with a single destination, Canada and all of us with a single thing in mind, get to the hospital and protect Kurt.

"Hang on Kurt, the cavalry is on its way" I whisper while staring out the window.

(Blaine POV)

"Blaine!" Wes snaps at me and I wipe some tears away before facing them all.

"What is it?" I say hoarsely

"The hospital is just two blocks away so be ready to leave the car" Nick instructs and we all move to make the exit smoother.

"Remember the hospital hasn't been secured so all of you stay near our men at all times and anything funny happens or you see someone suspicious and you don't hesitate to say something" Burt orders before pushing the door open and rushing inside the hospital with us trailing him and the guards forming a barrier around us all.

"Kurt Hummel" Burt demands as soon as he reaches the reception, when the young nurse hesitates he continues "Where is he? I'm his father and just flew across the damn country to get here so you better point me in his direction or call the damn doctor in charge of him before I decide to buy this damn hospital and fire you and make sure you never get a job as a nurse ever again" he growls and the woman scrambles to call someone.

"Mr. Hummel?" a doctor in scrubs ask a couple of minutes later

"Yes. Are you the doctor in charge of my son?" Burt demands and the doctor takes a couple of steps back.

"I am, I stepped out of his surgery to come and inform you of his condition. If you would follow me to my office for some privacy and security" he says and leads us to his office a couple of floors up.

"If you would take a seat" he motions to the couch and seats that are scattered along the room. "My name is Andrew Coleman; I'm the chief surgeon in the hospital. Your son was brought in around ten hours ago, we had a hard time getting his heart to start again but after a while we managed to get him stabilized and we rushed him into surgery, we've been working on him for the last four hours and we're just about to close up and schedule him for surgery for the next day if he pulls through the night alright"

"What are his injuries?" I ask and look at the doctor straight in the eye, silently asking him not to sugar coat his answer.

"I'm afraid that's confidential-"he begins but Burt cuts him off

"I'm his father damn it, I deserve to know what happened to my son, I deserve to know what those bastards did to him" he snaps and stands up, ready to make his message clear if the doctor continued to refuse.

"Mr. Hummel, please" Dr. Coleman says and raises his hands in surrender "I am just saying that, for Kurt's sake, that information shouldn't be diverged, I have no problem telling you the extent of his injuries but I do not feel comfortable revealing them in such a crowded room"

Burt seems satisfied by his answer and sits down "Very well"

"Shit" the doctor whispers when his phone starts going off "I'm needed back into surgery" he says and stands to leave

"Kurt?" I ask

"Yes" he says and runs out of the room.

We all remain silent, looking at the closed door before Burt stands and calls the leaders of each team inside "Secure the hospital and the house" he orders and they all nod and leave the room. Burt then sits down and addresses us "I need you boys to go to the house as soon as it's secure"

"What?"

"You can't do that"

"We won't leave"

"Dad!"

We stop protesting when he raises his hand "I know you all want to stay but you're all tired and there's no need for you to be here until Kurt is moved to the ICU and is allowed visitors but for now he'll only be in and out of surgery so go home rest and I'll call you as soon as he's allowed visitors; normally I would demand for them to let me see him and I would get what I want but I won't risk it this time so we'll do it their way" he instructs and we see no way or reason to protest so we say our goodbyes and follow the bodyguards out.

"You'll call us if something happens right?" I ask

"Of course, Blaine. I hope you know that when he wakes up things will be hard for both of you and it will be a long road ahead to get things back to normal" he points out sadly.

"I know" I whisper and exit the room.

Two days later

203. My most hated number from now on. I've been staring at that number for fifteen minutes now and still my hand trembles at my side and I can't find the courage to lift it and open the door that will show me my boyfriend.

"Blaine" David whispers from behind me "We have to go in sometime"

"I can't" I hang my head "I can't open this door and see him lying there hurt, I just can't" I sob.

Jeff pulls me into a hug "We're right here Blaine but we need to go inside, he's been alone for far too long, he fought and is now hanging in there, it's our turn to hold his hand until he gets better"

"You love him, don't you?" Nick asks and I pull away to the embrace to glare at him.

"Of course I do" I answer without hesitation

"Then listen to your own advise; courage Blaine, courage. Open that door and hold Kurt's hand, guide him out of that dark and lonely place and tell him he's finally safe" he says and turns me to face the door once again.

This time I don't hesitate to open the door and step inside, what I see makes my breath hitch and my heart feel heavy; there, lying on the bed is my beautiful boyfriend with bandages all over his body, most of them tainted red with a breathing tube down his throat and lots of needles in his skin.

"Are they all here Mr. Hummel?" Dr. Coleman asks after giving us a few minutes to get over the shock and take our seats.

"Yes, you can continue now" Burt whispers and I turn to see him, there next to Kurt's bed is a man looking so tired and sad he hardly looks like the tough and feared Burt Hummel.

"I'm afraid I have some bad news to share. The operations were all a success and he pulled through them wonderfully however he won't wake up" he says dejectedly.

"What?" Gabe asks with horror written on his face

"We've taken him off the anesthesia and other sleeping drugs but he won't wake up, I'm afraid the Kurt has slipped into a coma due to the damage his body received and we have no idea when or if he will wake up at all"
