9 Dalton
Sam- Saturday morning
Kurt and I had just signed into the dorms, Wes -( he is the dorm advisor) had given us the keys to our rooms. I took Kurt's bag as we headed up stairs to the dorms. We would have to come back to the car to get the rest of our things. Odin followed beside Kurt in a carefree manner.
We got to Kurt's shared room, opened the door to find Nick sitting at a desk doing homework.
"Hey Kurt, Sam you're finally here. I know that you guys are going to like it here." He got up and hugged us both. I placed Kurt's things down and told him that I would see him before supper. I left in search for my room.
I started had only taken a few steps then to my surprise I saw Jeff (we have known each other since grade 4.) come up to me.
"Hey stranger. Need help finding your room?" He asked
"Yea I could use little help."
" I have been staying in the dorms awhile now. So whats your room number?"
"It's 202."
" Well it looks like we are roomies. I believe this is our room here let me get the door for you." Jeff said as he opened the door.
" I thought I was rooming with Spencer? But you know what? I am glad it's you." I tell him. I hear Kurt's laugh coming from the room next door. I guess that I hadn't noticed that Kurt and I are next door to each other.
"Spencer's family moved closer to the school so he doesn't need to stay in the dorms. Don't worry about Kurt. Nick is his class mentor. I volunteered to be yours.
I was putting stuff in the empty dresser when Kurt and Nick walked into the room. Jeff gave Nick a kiss and told us that they were going to grab Kurt's other bag from the Navigator and to let Odin do his business.
"Hey how about we take you guys out for supper tonight. We can go to our favourite place" Jeff smiled.
"Sure that sounds fun. Maybe catch a movie. Hope the restaurant is dog friendly." Kurt asks.
"I am sure, it allows service/complain animals- my gran owns it. She and Dad were the only ones on dad's side that stood behind me when I came out. Mom's side broke all ties with us. It broke moms heart." Nick gave a sad sigh. As he and Kurt headed to get our bags.
Back in Kurt and Nick's room-
Kurt
"Thanks for the help with my bags, but I have to ask- how did Sam and I end up being in rooms next to each other?" I asked.
" Kurt I am about to tell you something that not to many know. I feel that, I can trust you. Here go nothing. I am much like you. I have been in your place. Before I came to Dalton, Jeff and I had just started dating anyway it was our one month anniversary and Jeff was going to pick me up from school for a date. Well when I hadn't showed up after a half hour of school being out.
Jeff came looking for me- he finally found me naked and bruised laying in a heap on the floor of an empty class room. He picked me up and took me to the hospital where one of his moms' is a doctor. His mom took me in right away, and he called my dad. I could only handle Jeff or his mom touching me. I spent a week in hospital, my dad was furious when I told him and the police what had happen. My dad sued the school when they did nothing to the guys that hurt me. Thats when I found Dalton."
"Wow Nick that's exactly what my school did. But what does that have to do with me and Sam having rooms next door?"
" Well when I started here I had bad night terrors that only Jeff could snap me out of, so Wes thought it was a good idea that it would help you to be close to Sam. As it helped me to have Jeff close by. Besides you have Odin. My nightmares don't come as often as they used to.." Nick hugged me.
"Kurt just know that you can talk to me or Jeff."
"Thanks Nick maybe I will tell you some time what happened to me but I am not just there yet." There was a knock on the door , it was Sam and Jeff. They told us that Mel and Izzy were going to meet us at the restaurant. Odin perked up as he heard use mention the words car ride, and handed me his leash.
