Chapter 8:
Why Zack?
About a half an hour later, a doctor came out and approached the little huddled
family. Carrey and Kurt looked up as he stopped in front of them.
"Please, don't worry. Zack is fine. He has a broken ankle and a broken wrist. There are also these odd marks in his wrists. They look like fingernail scratches. We're not sure. You'll have to ask him. He's sleeping right now, so I wouldn't go and visit him. Are you the father?" he said.
"Yes" replied Kurt.
"Alright, I'll need you to fill out some paper work. Follow me please" said the doctor, directing Kurt to go with him.
"I'll see you two later" said Kurt, kissing Carrey.
Cody scooted over a seat.
"See, you heard the doctor. Zack's fine. There's nothing to worry about" said Cody trying to comfort his mother who was still crying.
"I suppose. It was just, so scary" said Carrey.
"I know, Mom. I know" said Cody, hugging her.
About an hour later Kurt came back, all stressed. He hated filling out paper work. It drove him crazy. Kurt was a little startled when he came back to know one. He figured they must've gone in to see Zack. Kurt just slunk down into the chair, and sighed. He figured he'd cool off a bit before he went to see Zack.
Kurt's Point of View:
Fingernail marks. What could have caused him to do that. He wasn't coming out of that room the other night. They must be connected. What has driven him to do such a thing. I can't believe it. Zack would never intentionally hurt himself. Or would he? If something drove him to, he may. But what could have driven him that far. He seemed so excited that we were getting married. Could it have been an act? I have to see him alone. Away from the pressures of everyday life. Maybe then he'll tell me what's wrong. Though, he doesn't seem to want to bond much with me lately. I mean usually he's always so happy when I come. I can't understand it! Arg! Perhaps a little talk with him will solve everything. Oh, here comes Carrey and Cody. I'll just send them home, and go to see him now. We'll see how things turn out. Hopefully good.
End Kurt's Point of View
"Hey sweetie! Hey Cody. How was Zack?" he asked curiously.
"He was fine." said Cody, answering for both of them.
"That's good. I'm just going to see him now. Why don't you two head home. I think it would be best" suggested Kurt.
"I suppose" said Carrey, kissing Kurt goodbye, and motioning Cody to come with her. Kurt walked up down the hall and up two flights of stairs to reach Zack's roomOnce he reached it, he opened the door and saw Zack's face light up. He smiled a little, and proceeded to his bed.
"Hey Zack. How ya feeling?" asked Kurt.
"Not bad" said Zack.
"Listen, the doctor told us about the nail marks. Why did you do it?" asked Kurt concerned.
"Everything was just happening so fast. I just...I don't know" answered Zack.
"Do you not want us to get married?" asked Kurt.
"No. I'm so happy. I really want you two to get married" answered Zack.
"Then why did you do it Zack?" asked Kurt.
Zack's Point of View:
Should I tell him the real reason, or not?
