Author's Note: I wasn't sure where I was going to go with this story but the movie, A Beautiful Mind, gave me a great idea! Poor, poor Kurt!

What Just Happened

"I am not going to counseling! I refuse to, D!"

"Steph, can you help me here? I knew he wasn't going to like this."

"Kurt, you have to go to counseling! If you don't they will haul you off in a straight jacket and I will have to fire you!"

"Great! She's using the McMahon charm on me. Thanks, Steph, I am glad to know you are supportive in this."

"I am supportive but only to help you get better! I think it will be good for you."

"Well I can see this is going nowhere fast. Fine! I will go but I swear to god if this gets out I'm ruined. It was hard enough trying to cover up what happened."

"I am glad you are seeing things our way rather you want to or not!" Dwayne said.

"Why did you have to wait until you were taking me home from the hospital to tell me this? Couldn't you have told me a week ago when you first came and saw me?"

"You didn't need to be bothered with things like that. We wanted to tell you when you had time to really think about it."

Dwayne noticed Kurt get that far off look on his face and saw his slump over in his seat.

"What is it, Kurt? Where are you going, buddy?"

Kurt just shrugged his shoulders and laid his head on the side of the door. Dwayne had to be in Miami at 8 in the morning to see his parents but he didn't want to leave Kurt alone. He had thought maybe the reality of what he had tried to do brought him out of his slump but clearly that wasn't the case.

"Steph, will you stay with Kurt tonight? I have to be at my parents in the morning and he can not be alone like this."

"Sure, D its no problem. I don't have any plans for tomorrow."

"Thanks, girl."

Dwayne looked over at Kurt figuring he would protest Stephanie staying with him but he acted like he didn't even hear the conversation. His eyes were fixed on the trees outside.

"Kurt, do you want to tell me what is going through your mind right now? I know that if you talk about it, it will help you feel a little better. It always does me." Dwayne started.

Kurt looked over at Dwayne and unbuckled his seat belt. He turned around looked over his shoulder and climbed in the back seat with Stephanie.

"Kurt? Um I would ask if you were OK but I know the answer to that. You mind telling us why you just climbed in the back seat?"

"So she can't see me. She has hurt me enough and I don't want to give her the satisfaction of seeing me hurt."

Stephanie looked at Kurt and laid his head in her lap. Dwayne looked at her in the rear view mirror and mouthed "What the hell?"

Stephanie just shook her head at him and mouthed back, "Not now"

Dwayne watched Stephanie as she rubbed his shoulders and talked to him in a low sweet voice. Dwayne could barley make out what she saying but whatever is was it sure was soothing to Kurt because ten minutes later he was sound a sleep. Stephanie just smiled at Dwayne in the mirror.

When they arrived at Kurt's house Stephanie leaned over and whispered something in Kurt's ear and his eyes opened. He looked out the window and back at Dwayne and Stephanie.

"Wasn't I riding in the front seat earlier? Dwayne did I piss you off or something?" Kurt looked very confused at the whole idea.

"Kurt you moved back there….

"Dwayne, don't worry about it. Kurt, you wanted to lay down so I offered is all." Stephanie said cutting Dwayne off.

"Oh." Kurt simply said.

Kurt grabbed his bag out of he back of Dwayne's H2 and started towards the house. He started calling for Thor about halfway up the porch. Stephanie and Dwayne both smiled as the big muscle bound dog came running around the corner almost knocking Kurt down with excitement.

"Steph, you want to tell me what just happened? He acted like he had no idea he climbed in the backseat."

"That's because he didn't, D. You know how I asked how much Kurt had told you about us? Well, I finally had Kurt seeing a doctor for a while. They diagnosed him as being Manic Depressant. Kurt has the worse case of it to, a level 6. His mind will jump from totally normal to almost a different world and when he finally comes too he won't remember anything that happened. He blacks out, D. It's like he feel asleep."

"If he has been seeing a Doctor then why did he make such a big deal about counseling?" Dwayne questioned.

"Going to see a Doctor and counseling is totally different. A Doctor sees you alone and no one knows what is going on but with counseling there is a group of course. Kurt doesn't want to have to admit to anyone his problems but they will be hard to hide. He blacks out without warning but he always gets that distant look on his face."

"Yeah, I noticed that before he started acting strange. Why did you make him go to sleep?"

"Well, I found out a while back that if he does goes to sleep then when he wakes up he is his self again. It's almost like his mind restarts or something. Dwayne, when you told me in the hospital you though he was sick you were right but I had no idea it would lead to this."

"Did she do this to him. I mean did Karen leaving make him this way?"

"Well, yes and no. Mental Illness is something that runs in your genes. Something you inherit from Mom or Dad. The sickness has always been there and Karen leaving just brought it out in him."

Dwayne and Stephanie's conversation suddenly came to a screeching halt. They both heard glass break and Kurt yell.
