Bonds Of Love
Chapter 1: Unrecognizable
Kurt Hummel-Anderson and Quinn Puckerman were standing over Noah Puckerman as he lay motionless in a hospital bed, looking totally unrecognizable. Noah had been MIA for six months when he was found naked and chained between two pillars with blood all over him. There were other men in his unit found in the same way, but it was obvious that they were dead. Noah was the only one left alive out of fifty men. Nobody could understand how or why. According to the medical examiner, the others died within a week of being captured after suffering the same torture he did. However, Noah was the biggest man out of all of them, and he was still alive after six months.
As Kurt and Quinn stared at Noah. Burt Hummel came into the room holding his granddaughter, Liza Marie Anderson. When Liza Marie saw Noah, everyone noticed that they were both clenching their fists at the same time. Then Liza Marie looked at Kurt before saying, "I can't believe I had to call General Young to get you two to believe me! I told you he was alive this whole fucking time! Look at him! Look at all those scars! I told you he was being whipped like Jesus! But you wouldn't listen to me! One man out of fifty survived that hell, and you two think he's not like the Hulk! How else do you fucking explain why he is alive and others are dead?!"
Then Burt puts Liza Marie on Noah's chest as she continues, saying, "I told you Nono was being hurt by bad men who were putting their winkies in his butt! I told you it wasn't a goddamn nightmare! I told you about them trying to break his legs and about him trying to do what Samson did several times! I was afraid to go to seep because I would hear him screaming, No, until he couldn't scream anymore! He was bleeding so bad the blood was running down into his eyes! The bad men, had to cut his throat to get him to stop screaming the day before he was rescued! He finally brought the building down the day he was found! I told you all this so many times! I lost fucking count! I had to tell General Young the numbers of where Nono was, so they could find him! Me, not Queenie! Not, Aunt Beff! Not, Aunt Sarah! Me, the only one trying to find him! G' Pa Burt helped the first month, but gave up like the rest of you! I didn't give up for six months, and none of you have told me you were sorry! Now, look at Nono! He is asleep like Nana Elizabeth was and might not wake up! You know what, fuck this! Go! Get out, get out, get out!" Quinn stayed behind as the others left, and Blaine squeezes her shoulder as he looks over at Liza Marie.
Liza Marie was asleep on Noah's chest when Blaine and Kurt came back into the room. Then Quinn says, "Beth came in for a few minutes with Rachel, but left before you got back. Blaine, I swear, since Liza Marie came in, Puck has moved more in the past hour than he did when he was brought in. I know this sounds crazy, but I think Puck and her have some kind of bond or something."
Noah was in the coma for a month and only moved a hand or raised an eyebrow when Liza Marie would visit him. On Noah's birthday, Liza Marie stormed into his hospital room and climbed his bed before screaming, "Nono, wake the hell up goddamn it! Prove those doctors wrong! Show them you are stronger than Nana Elizabeth! You're Uncle Hulk goddamn it! I love you, goddamn it, and you are my hero! Wake up! Everyone says you only move when I'm here and I'm not leaving until you wake the hell up! Do you hear me?!" Then she put her head against his as she started to sing A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes.
(Liza Marie)
A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're fast asleep
In dreams, you will lose your heartaches
Whatever you wish for, you keep
Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come smiling through
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
The dream that you wish will come true
A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're fast asleep
In dreams, you will lose your heartaches
Whatever you wish for, you keep
Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come smiling through
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
The dream that you wish will come true
Liza Marie kisses Noah's lips before whispering, "I love you, Nono." Until she cries herself to sleep. When she wakes up, she feels a hand on her back and looks up to see Noah was awake. She just started to kiss his face all over and say, "I knew you were going to wake up, Nono! It took a long time to get anyone to listen to me, and I had to call General Young myself. These assholes thought you were dead, and the doctors thought you wouldn't wake up!"
Noah glares at the others and says, "I want to talk to Quinn and Blaine alone, now!" As soon as the others left, they heard Noah yell at Blaine, "Six months?! You watched Liza Marie have nightmares for six months and didn't check to see if her dreams were real?! Do you know how many times I tried to kill myself just to get them to stop!? Twenty-four times! It took me twenty-four tries to bring that place down, Blaine! Liza Marie had every right to yell at you! I thought no one was looking for me the whole time or even cared about me! Then I wake up to find only one person gave a shit about me! Your daughter!"
Then he yells at Quinn, saying, "Look at me, Quinn! I heard what you said to me when we were alone! I want a divorce! There is no way in hell I want to be married to someone that tells me to die! You know, I used to think we were like Kurt's parents, until now. Now, I think you are the same bitch you always were! I can't believe Liza Marie is the only one here that cares about me, and right now she is the only one I want to see!"
As Blaine and Quinn leave, Liza Marie says, "I didn't tell them about what you said the first time you tried to bring the place down, Nono. I didn't tell them that you asked the bad men to cut your throat or that you were praying to die. Or that you were crying out for Aunt Beff every night. Or that you said my name the day they started poking you wiff needles. I didn't even tell them you weren't getting any seep the whole time."
Noah just hugs her as he says, "I saw a little girl that looked like you and thought it was you. I hate that you had to dream about the things that happened to me, and I hope you find a boy like me that will make all your dreams come true."
Liza Marie elbows Noah and says, "I hope Queenie says she's sorry, and I know you don't want her to leave you. Nono, if Queenie hated you she would never have come to see you. I might love you more, but she is your person, and you know that! You are just my first crush and I know she is your soulmate." Soon Quinn comes back in and finds them asleep, holding hands.
