Chapter 2
Anticipation
Cody had decided to go home right after the bout with Dave. He assured Kurt that he would come audition for Glee Club "as soon as the drama blew over with and Karofsky." Luckily they had exchanged numbers before he went home. All throughout rehearsal, Kurt was texting Cody.
He purposely landed himself in detention. He was protecting me. How was he able to be so brave… and reckless? He showed no fear.
Hey, I'm so sorry that I got you detention!- Kurt
Lol it's no big deal! – Cody
But what did you have to gain from that?- Kurt
A conversation- Cody
What KIND of conversation! And with WHO?- Kurt
The godless prick ^_^ - Cody
What could you possibly want to talk to him about? 0_o- Kurt
He's totally gay.- Cody
WTF Cody!- Kurt
Just trust me. I know. ;)- Cody
Alright… Can I call you tonight around 7?- Kurt
Of course. :)- Cody
Glee rehearsal ended. Thank Gaga.
Kurt had been waiting on the car ride home almost all day. His world had been turned upside down in a matter of hours. He couldn't stop himself from rattling off at a hundred miles per hour once he and Finn got in the car.
"Hey Finn, guess what!"
"The New Ke$ha album came out today?"
Lol
"No silly! You know that kid that got detention today for almost fighting with Karofsky?"
"Yeah, Cody?"
"Yes indeed! Well, he's gay!"
Finn let out a happy grunt. His puppy dog face was smiling.
"That's awesome dude! Well does he like you?"
That would be nice.
"As a friend, yes he does. We have every class together."
"Kurt, that's so cool!"
"AND, he's thinking of joining Glee Club!"
If Finn could have acted more excited, he would have shot rainbow colored fireworks from his butt cheeks.
"Holy shit dude! That's luck! This is so great!"
Kurt's face sank into a dazed smile.
"I know."
There was an awkward pause. Finn felt uncomfortable, because he could tell by the look on Kurt's face the general type of thoughts that Kurt was having at the moment.
Today has been rather lucky.
Finn interrupted Kurt's daydreaming… much to his dismay.
"What exactly happened with Karofsky and Cody? Rachel said that she saw you out there with them when Mr. Sheu was yelling at them."
She WOULD be the one to point that out. I mean, it wasn't wrong of her, but again… She WOULD be the one to point that out.
Kurt explained what happened. Verbatim.
"So he stood up for you?"
"Yes."
"And Karofksy didn't kick his ass?"
"Not at all. He laughed in his face and threatened to call the cops."
"He could give Puck a run for his money by being such a bad ass."
That thought amused Kurt. They made it back to the house, and they went about their day. Kurt kept a keen eye on the clock. He couldn't wait to call Cody.
Dave laid down on his bed.
Fuck FUCK FUCK FUCK FUUUUUUUCK! Detention sucks major dick.
He sat up and got his laptop. He signed into facebook, hoping to take his mind off of the events of the day. There wasn't really anything interesting to read. Just whiney girls and song lyrics. Dave let his thoughts wander to the incident outside the choir room. Dave didn't like being mean. It was the only way he knew how to cope with his… issues.
You know what else sucks dick? You do. You suck dick, you fuckin' faggot.
It's happening again. Dave isn't a very talkative individual on the outside… but on the inside, he argues almost all the time. It was very stressful.
You think that new kid is hot. Face it, you're looking forward to detention with him. Anything to be alone in a room with him, so that you can suck his fuckin' dick, just like the godless prick you are.
Dave put on Pandora, hoping to drown his thoughts out. He put it on the Ke$ha station. Despite the tough image that he puts up, he actually likes pop music. Something about the constant thump and catchy tunes soothes him. The song Disturbia came on by Rihanna. He couldn't help but sing along. It seemed to be telling the story of his life.
What's wrong with me?
Why do I feel like this?
I'm going crazy now
All Dave heard was his voice. He knew the song by heart.
No more gas, in the red, can't even get it started
Nothing heard, nothing said, can't even speak about it
On my life, on my head, don't wanna think about it
Feels like I'm going insane, yeah
It's a thief in the night to come and grab you
It can creep up inside you and consume you
A disease of the mind, it can control you
It's too close for comfort
Put on your pretty lies, you're in the city of wonder
Ain't gon' play nice, watch out you might just go under
Better think twice, your train of thought will be altered
So if you must falter be wise
Your mind's in disturbia, it's like the darkness is light
Disturbia, am I scaring you tonight?
Disturbia, ain't used to what you like
Disturbia, disturbia
Faded pictures on the wall, it's like they talking to me
Disconnecting on calls, the phone don't even ring
I gotta get out or figure this shit out
It's too close for comfort, oh
It's a thief in the night to come and grab you
It can creep up inside you and consume you
A disease of the mind it can control you
I feel like a monster, oh
Put on your pretty lies, you're in the city of wonder
Ain't gon' play nice, watch out you might just go under
Better think twice, your train of thought will be altered
So if you must falter be wise
Your mind's in disturbia, it's like the darkness is light
Disturbia, am I scaring you tonight?
Disturbia, ain't used to what you like
Disturbia, disturbia, disturbia
Release me from this curse I'm in
Trying to maintain but I'm struggling
If you can't go-o-o
I think I'm gonna ah, ah, ah, ah
Put on your pretty lies, you're in the city of wonder
Ain't gon' play nice, watch out you might just go under
Better think twice, your train of thought will be altered
So if you must falter be wise
Disturbia, it's like the darkness is light
Disturbia, am I scaring you tonight?
Disturbia, ain't used to what you like
Disturbia, disturbia
Dave just sat there, letting the music resonate in his head.
Why do I feel like this? It's like someone's taking a cheese grater to the back of my brain. I just wanna be a good boy, and like girls. But instead, I get all hot and sweaty when I smell Kurt's scented chapstick.
You're gay, Dave. Just admit it to yourself.
Dave started to tear up. He let out a few sobs.
Stop crying. It's embarrassing. You may be gay, but you are a man. And men don't cry.
You're not a man. What kind of man goes toes to Jesus for a guy that wears girl's clothes!
Dave was getting so upset, that his sobs were vocalized.
I hope no one's home. This would be hard to explain.
Knock knock. Dave immediately stopped crying. He wiped the tears from his face and opened the door. It was his dad, Paul. He tried his best to assume the tough guy persona.
"Yeah, dad?"
Paul just looked at him skeptically.
"It sounded like you were crying in there. Are you okay?"
Well I'm a flaming homosexual who has no one to talk to but my self-loathing split personality.
"I'm fine."
Paul just crossed his arms and raised his eye brow.
Fuck! Gotta come up with a better excuse.
"Are you sure? Did you, uh, have a bad day at school today, or something?"
"Yeah, this kid started a fight with me today at school, and I got detention."
Dave's dad didn't look that impressed. But it seemed like he was willing to drop it for now.
"Well, clean yourself up, and head downstairs. I brought us back some Chinese."
"Yessir."
And with that, Dave was left alone to compose himself. He went to the mirror and looked at himself. There was a sad looking boy in the reflection. Dave thought that he looked like Anakin Skywalker right before he killed all those jedi babies in the last Star Wars movie. He noticed that he was getting fatter. He had always been a little thick, but not fat. This constant depression has begun take its toll on him.
Why does Kurt get to be so happy? And why did he get to make friends with that new kid? When is it gonna be MY turn to be happy?
When you quit sucking dick in your wet dreams, faggot.
Hello, hello baby you called I can't hear a thing…Cody's phone rang at 7 p.m. on the dot.
"I see you're a very punctual person."
There was an awkward silence.
"Oh! I guess I am! Haha!"
"Well what's up?"
"What were you thinking earlier?"
"Oh, the whole deal with Dave?"
"Yes."
"Well, I noticed that you were having some trouble… holing your own with Dave. And I figured, that I could take care of him for you."
"Somehow, I don't think that would work out. Dave's a pretty big guy."
Cody laughed. His tone was breathy now.
"I know."
Kurt's face looked a cross between shocked and confused. He held the phone away from his ear and looked at it in horror.
"Um… hello?"
"Sorry, I uh… dropped the phone."
"Well, just calm down. I knew exactly what I was doing when I landed myself in detention with Dave. After tomorrow, he won't bother you anymore."
"Alright. Please don't land yourself in anymore trouble tomorrow!"
"I won't. I promise."
