(15) I Won't Let Go
When You've Done All You Can Do
A/N: you guys are going to absolutely fucking hate me...

When eighth period athletics rolled around on Friday afternoon, David was expecting it to go like any other day: warm up, agilities, run through the plays.
But the system had other plans.
Beiste came into the locker room, hands on her hips. "Alright!" everyone stopped in their tracks and gave her their undivided attention. "Random drug test today! Nobody dress out, everyone make a line outside the nurse's office! Pronto! Hope none of you are afraid of needles!"
Karofsky froze... Wait... WHAT..? If they had his blood... They'd find out wouldn't they... The truth behind everything...
Finn saw the horrified expression on Karofsky's face and couldn't help himself. "What's wrong, Karofsky?" he asked angrily. "Afraid you'll finally be exposed for the liar that you are? Afraid that there will finally be proof of what you did to my baby brother?"
David stood there in utter shock. He was about to be exposed, so having a good comeback to Finn wasn't exactly a priority at the moment. "I-I... I have to go... Get in line..." he said lamely, looking down at his feet.
He hurried out the door and ran right into Coach Beiste. "Hold up there Karofsky!" her tone was almost hostile. She didn't know Kurt too well, but he seemed like a good kid. And in any scenario, he'd been through some pretty horrible things in his short life. "Alphabetical order..." she said, calming herself down.
He nodded obediently and placed himself in order.
"Wait, there's gonna be needles!" he heard Finn yell from a few people in front of him. "Ahahaha," he forced some uncomfortable laughter. "Screw that!"
"Hudson, Finn!" yelled the nurse.
"What!? What, no, no I don't like needles, I don't- I don't wanna-I can't!" he yelled shaking his head furiously. Finn Hudson did not like needles... The nurses had to practically drag him into the room to draw his blood.
On any other day, Karofsky would have taken the chance to poke fun at Finn. But today, he felt like he was waiting in line to be executed, which, once everyone found out, might as well have been the case. There was no way out of the mess he'd gotten himself into...
"Karofsky, David!" yelled out the nurse. He swallowed hard and walked into the sterile white office, he might as well take what was coming.
"Here, take a seat David..." he sat down, and she stuck the needle deep in the skin of his forearm. He watched the container fill with blood. Just as she finished placing it in the rack, they heard a riot starting outside. She sighed exasperatedly. "Wait here."
He waited patiently as she went outside to break up whatever fight had been started. He looked at the rack filled with the blood samples. They had little slips of paper attached to them, to identify the blood sample with names.
A thought crossed his mind. A dark thought...
He quickly got up and rushed to the rack. He found his quickly and took the little slip off his container. He scoured the other containers that had the same blood-type labeled as his for a familiar name, and when he found it, attached his name, and placed the name on the one with his blood. He'd done a swap.
He ward the door open and close and quickly rushed back to his seat before the nurse was back.
She shook her head. "Noah, Finn, Artie, Sam, and Mike got in a fight with some of the other guys. Had to go break it up. A couple black eyes, nothing to serious. You're free to go, though."
He nodded, grateful to be freed.
He walked outside and saw the Glee guys looking just the slightest bit proud of themselves, and Langanthal, Azimio, and a few others with already forming bruises and black eyes.
He narrowed his eyes at Finn as he passed him, who gave him a death glare back.
Boy, was someone going to be really surprised at their test results.

"God dammit, Finn!" scolded Kurt. "I told you to be careful! You can't go getting into fights like this!" He turned and faced the rest of the Glee guys. "None of you!"
It was in Glee club after school, and Mr. Shue was running a little late, and when Kurt heard about the fight, he took the opportunity to give the guys (minus Blaine) a piece of his mind.
"We're sorry, dude." said Sam. "We'd just had enough of their bullshit."
"I don't give a crap!" he shouted. "Those guys are dangerous, believe me I know!"
"They were just trying to help..." said Tina.
Kurt sighed, exasperated. "I-I know." he brought up his hands to his temples. "I just don't want any of you to get hurt..."
Finn stood up and gave Kurt a big hug. "I'm sorry... I promise it won't happen again..."
"Thank you," Kurt gave his brother a hug back.
"Anytime soon," continued Finn.
Kurt gave a laugh and shoved him aside. "Seriously though, guys..." he gave them a glare.
"We got it, dude." said Sam with a nod. "No more fights."
Kurt smiled his thank you and took a seat next to Blaine. "Kind of disappointed I didn't get to punch his face in again, to be honest." said Blaine.
Kurt gave his boyfriend a serious glare.
"Kidding!" he remarked, throwing his hands up in mock surrender. "Sort of..." he smiled lightly at Kurt and took his hand in his own, wrapping it gently. "I guarantee that seeing him put in jail will bring me so much more satisfaction than kicking his ass."
Kurt rested his head in the space between Blaine's head and shoulder. "Are you ever afraid of losing?" he asked seriously. "Because I'm absolutely terrified."
Blaine turned and kissed the top of his head. "There's not a doubt in my mind that we will win this..."

"Your Honor," began Monarch. "The defense would like to enter new evidence immediately."
"Objection!" said Garner as she stood up. "The defense has failed to notify the prosecution of this information! By law they are required to bring forth all evidence in advance!"
"Actually," said Monarch. "The prosecution is not allowed to withhold evidence, however, the defense in many cases have been allowed entries as late as the closing statement."
"Your Honor-"
"I'm sorry Ms. Garner, but Mr. Monarch here is correct. I'll allow it."
He flashed a sly grin that reminded Kurt of an eel. Particularly the two evil ones from The Little Mermaid.
"The defense would like to enter this evidence from the forensics department that shows the DNA from the crime scene does not match the sample taken from my client a few days ago at his school." he stated. "In fact," he raised his eyebrows an paused for dramatic effect.
"It was a 89% match to Finn Hudson's."

"What the fuck is going on!?" cried Kurt.
Garner had called for a recess and Blaine, Kurt, Carole, Burt, and Finn all followed her into an empty room. "Finn," said Garner. "Are you sure you told is everything that happened that day?"
"I-Wha- Y-yes!" He yelled, completely shocked that the prosecutor would think that.
Just then officer Jones came in. Finn's face fell and he felt sick. They couldn't arrest him could they? He hadn't done anything wrong!
"Calm down, son." she said, noting the terrified expression on his face. "I'm not here for you."
"What happened?" asked Garner.
Jones shook her head. "I don't know..." she stated truthfully. "There's nothing wrong with the labs that we know of."
"Is there any way we could get the tests thrown out?" Pleaded Kurt.
Garner shook her head sadly. "I'm really sorry... But considering the fact that it was the prosecution's idea... I just don't see that happening..." At Kurt's defeated look, she spoke up again. "But that doesn't mean we're going to give up!" She pointed a stern finger at him. "The defense is going to try to get him off by the benefit of the doubt. Right now, all they have are those test results and they're going to try and get that jury to think it was Finn... We have to do everything we can to prove otherwise. Those results basically render any evidence gathered from the rape kit useless. All we have are your testimonies as character witnesses..."
She looked around the room, glancing at each and everyone of them. "We are going back out there... And we have to be prepared for anything..."
