Big brother Wes Chapter 21: This Time Even Wes Might Be Wrong, a glee fanfic

Part 21

Screams, screams everywhere and blood… the floor was red… full of blood. It was a sea of blood. David couldn't think of anything else. Someone was shouting and pulling on his arm. But David's eyes couldn't leave the red liquid that was on the wooden stage floor. His eyes couldn't leave the body lying there. Jordan Montgomery was shouting something as he pressed his shirt against a wound on the body. David heard nothing, saw nothing but that red liquid.

He saw red. Red everywhere. Such a pretty color red could be… but not here. Here red means danger… here red means death. His friend was dying… was dead already. Was he? David didn't know. Someone was dragging him back, away from the scene. He wasn't even aware of moving his feet. He wasn't even aware of the tears trickling down his face. The strong arms around him were unfamiliar.

Jordan Montgomery looked pissed off as he shouted at people and pressed the shirt harder. Who was that on the floor, David wondered. Why are all the Warblers fighting to get to that person? Who is it, he, she? Why? All the Warblers were being held back. Jeremiah was fighting furiously to get loose. Was it Roger on the floor? David turned his head a little. No… Roger was fighting the hold Finn and Mike was having on him. Who was on the floor?

A scream he knew that scream. That was Nick. Was Jeff hurt? Was Jeff lying on the ground? No, David saw both of them. Then who was lying on the ground? David didn't know. There had been so many boys there and now there was no one. Nick and Jeff wanted to get to the somebody lying in all that blood.

Red. The blood was red. Dalton colors are red and navy blue and black… that red is pretty. This red isn't pretty. This red is scary. David was scared. He didn't know who held him. He saw something blue near his shoulder. Blue… Dalton color… no not this blue. David knew who was holding him. Jasper Montgomery. Wes' brother was holding him. Where was Wes? He must be with Thad.

Thad. David's stomach turned cold. It was cold like ice and heavy. Thad. Where was he? David looked around and felt panic arise. Where was Thad? Was Thad hurt? Was Thad lying in all that red? Red wasn't Thad's color. He was allergic to cherries. This wasn't cherry red. Then he saw him. Thad was fighting to get out of Puck's arms. David felt his eyes narrow.

Puck was holding his boy. No one touched David's boy. It was an unwritten rule at Dalton that everyone knew. No one touched David's boy. Puck was holding his arms around Thad. Hugging him. It looked like that. Thad wanted out but Puck was too strong. David saw red. No one touches his boy. Only Wes could touch his boy. Puck only wants to protect Thad from something the logical and reasonable part of David said. David had named that part Wes a long time ago.

Thad was desperate to get loose. Puck wouldn't let him. Thad was small. Thad was smaller than Puck. Small like Blaine. Blaine was okay. He and Kurt were together. They were with Kurt's dad. Puck yells something. He yells at David's boy. No one yells at David's boy. It's an unwritten rule. No one yells at David's boy. No one touches David's boy. But he isn't really David's boy is he the rational side says again, the side David named Wes a long time ago.

Thad is David's. He might just not know it yet. David doesn't like people touching what's his. He isn't yours says the rational side, the side David named Wes a long time ago.

David wants to get to Thad. Thad sees him and struggles even more. Thad wants to come to him too but Puck doesn't let him. Jasper nods at Puck. Puck drags Thad over. David glares at him and then he has his boy in his arms. Puck reaches out to ruffle Thad's hair. David glares at him and Puck gets the message. No one touches David's boy. Puck shakes his head and hurries off to grab hold of another Warbler. Joseph. Wes has a half-brother named Joseph. David doesn't like him. He likes their Joseph.

David holds his arms around his boy. But he isn't his boy he rational side keeps telling him, the side David named Wes a long time ago. Speaking of Wes, where is he?

David looks around and sees something blue beside him. Jasper Montgomery, he is Wes' blood brother. Speaking of Wes, where is he?

David looks around. He can see all his brothers but not Wes.

Red. He sees red all over the floor, blood all over the floor. Can it be so much blood inside one person? Who is it on the floor? An ambulance arrives, paramedics come running. Thad is crying, clinging to him. Why is Thad crying? Who upset his boy? He isn't his boy yet the rational side says again, the side David named Wes a long time ago. Speaking of Wes, where is he?

David looks around. He can't see Wes. That's odd. Wes was there. They'd just won. Wes was the best coach. He got a prize saying so. Speaking of Wes, where was he?

Jordan yells at the paramedics. Fred and Rock stands nearby. They are red. That's not right. Why are they red? They have red on their shoulders. That's not Dalton red. It's the red on the floor, on Jordan's hands, the blood. Fred and Rock have blood on them. Why? Wes was with them before. They were having him on their shoulders. A loud bang. What happened?

Red, red everywhere. Screams… screams all around. Thad is crying. David can't hear the words. Screams. Screams all over. Where is Wes? David thinks.

Wes should be with the freshmen. The freshmen stand alone. Wes should be with Rock and Fred. Fred and Rock stand together, staring at the floor, staring at the somebody. Wes should be with the sophomores. The sophomores are scattered around everywhere. Wes isn't with them. Wes isn't with the juniors. Wes isn't with the seniors. Where is he? He isn't with Blaine and Kurt. He's not with New Directions. Where is he? Wes should be with Thad. But Thad is with David and Wes is not there. Wes should be with David. But David is with Thad and Wes isn't there. Wes should be with Jeremiah and Roger. But Wes isn't there. Wes should be with Jordan or Jasper. But Jordan is at the somebody and are yelling soundlessly at the paramedics. Jasper is with Thad and David, but Wes isn't there. Where is Wes?

Red. Red on the floor. Red on Fred and Rock. Screaming. Crying. The Warblers are crying. New Directions are crying. Blaine and Kurt are crying. Something wet hits him. Jasper is crying. Jordan is angry. Jordan is really angry. David turns. Jesse. Jesse is being led away by the police. Jesse hates Wes. Wes hates Jesse. Speaking of Wes, where is he?

Wes is nowhere. David can't see him. Where is he?

The red on the floor, blood. Blood on Rock and Fred. Wes was on their shoulders. Everyone crying or screaming.

Wes doesn't comfort. Why doesn't Wes comfort?

That's when David realizes. Wes can't comfort. Wes is there. Wes is with Jordan. Jordan is pressing his shirt on the red. On the red on Wes' chest. The red is on Wes chest. On his face. On the floor around him.

Jesse was there. The police took him. Jesse hates Wes. Wes hates Jesse. David knows where Wes is.

Wes is lying on the floor. Wes has been shot. David crumbled and hugs his boy close. He burry his face in his boy's hair. David cries. David prays. Because Wes is there. In the red. Wes has been shot. Wes could be dead. Was Wes dying? No David's rational side said, the side David named Wes long ago.

But this time… this time… this time even Wes might be wrong.
