WELCOME TO THE PARTY KURT (CH.5: Questions & Confessions)
Two days had passed since the shooting and Kurt was finally being discharged in a couple of hours. He still didn't know what went down with Shana but from how his friends were acting he could only guess that it wasn't good. Veronica and Peter had both slept in his hospital room both nights he had to stay, though they could've stayed in their nice hotel room they wanted to be near their son.
He had told all his friends and family that he was back together with Noel and after how much Noel showed that he cared for Kurt they accepted it. Some were still a bit suspicious of him mostly Hannah and Aria but they would have to get over it. Melissa warned Noel that if he hurt Kurt again it would be him in the hospital and everyone knew she was dead serious.
So that's how Kurt found himself laying in a hospital bed with his boyfriend holding his hand as he sat in the chair right next to him. Both boys while still shaken up from the shooting were both extremely happy that they had found their way back to each other. Noel had even called his parents and had let them known and even though they were thrilled about their son and brother getting the love of his life back, they were also upset by Kurt's shooting.
Eric had even threatened to come down and find the fucker who did and make them pay. Truly touched that they still cared about him Kurt promised to come by for dinner that weekend and catch up. It was just as his thoughts continue to run wild that he found a pair of lips of his own bringing him out of his daze. Surprised at first, then when he realized he knew those lips he kissed back. It was electric, it was passionate and it was everything both boys had been missing while Kurt was in Paris. Pulling away when air became needed Kurt simply looked into the laughing eyes of his boyfriend.
"Well hello to you too." He said with a wide smile
"Sorry I can see the giant brain of yours running a mile a minute, figured it needed a break." Noel replied before placing a quick peck to Kurt's lips
"Well thanks for that, feel free to do it again whenever you want."
Kurt's response brought nothing but happiness to Noel's heart and once again he felt like crying.
"God Kurt you have no idea how happy you've made me giving me another chance" Noel whispered as he gripped his boyfriend hand a little tighter than usual
"We've made each other happy, don't think it's just me." Kurt replied
Before Noel could get another word in Kurt's door opened allowing two very familiar people to Noel to enter Kurt's room. Noel was immediately on guard for whatever bomb was about to be dropped and he would make damn sure that neither of these so called detectives would upset his boyfriend.
"Good Morning Kurt, I'm glad you're okay." The woman said as the man actually had the nerve to look Kurt up and down with lust leaving a seething Noel ready to pummel the asshole who was eye fucking his boyfriend.
"Thanks, do I know you?" Kurt asked with a level of suspicion
"No you've never met either of us, your sister and your friends know us very well however, I'm detective Tanner and this is my partner Detective Holbrooke" Tanner answered
"Right you're the ones who were harassing my sister and my friends about Alison's disappearance, can't say I'm sorry I missed that what with you being so obviously wrong." Kurt replied with a glare making the detectives realized he wasn't to be messed with
"Right well, Spencer and your friends do have a tendency of somehow always being in the middle of this investigation. We were only trying to get answers."
"Harassing and accusing innocent teenagers is no way to go about doing that detective."
Kurt's response made both of the detective freeze for a moment before bursting out in laughter. Noel and Kurt shared a look before Noel was done with whatever this was.
"Something my boyfriend say funny to you?" He asked glaring right at Holbrook
"No, it's just he really is a Hastings isn't he?" Holbrook shot back
"Look what do you want?" Kurt asked clearly getting annoyed
"Easy tiger we just need to ask some questions" Holbrook answered while once again checking Kurt out
"About the shooting? Fine fire away just knows if this gets confrontational I'll be calling my parents right away."
With that said both Holbrook and Tanner sat down and truly looked at the feisty and intelligent boy in front of them. He was a Hastings through and through, they thought he would be shaken having been nearly killed only two days ago but no, here sat a strong young man ready to take on the big bad detectives all by himself.
"It's really just two or three, the first would be did you know Alison DiLaurentis was alive before you met with her two days ago?" Tanner asked quickly
"No I didn't, and neither did Spencer or any of the other girls, next question." Kurt responded
"Did you get a good look at the shooter?"
"No we were running for our lives, and they were wearing a mask. Yes, I fought with them but I didn't see their face."
" Last question, what do you think really happened to Alison that night?"
Before he could answer the door swung open and Veronica and Peter stormed in with Spencer and Melissa by their side.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Veronica demanded as she made her way to her son, standing in front of him as if to protect him from the detectives
"Mrs. Hastings we're asking your son some questions about the shooting." Tanner tried to explain but Peter quickly cut her off
"You're unbelievable, he was shot, he could've died and you're in here badgering him without his parent's notification."
"Not to mention you don't have jurisdiction here, now get out." Veronica added before quickly rushing Tanner and Holbrook out before slamming the door.
"I'm calling the station and reporting their asses." Veronica hissed as she made her way over to Kurt and gently hugged him
"Are you okay?" She whispered
"I'm fine mom, they just asked a couple of questions, their annoying but I'm fine." He replied as he hugged her back
"You're going to be staying home from school all next week, Spencer as well I want both of taking it easy for a few days." Peter announced and his tone made it clear there was no point in arguing
"Hey who knew all it took for us to skip school was for you to be shot?" Spencer asked with a playful
"Spencer that's not funny!" Melissa yelled as she stood at the other side of Kurt with tears in her eyes
"He could've…" Melissa couldn't finish her sentence before a sob broke out, instantly everyone felt the pain and fear she was dealing with
"Melissa, I'm fine please don't cry." Kurt said as he brought his oldest sister into a loose hug
"Don't ever fucking do something like that again, I love you, I need you around." Melissa whimpered into his shoulder
Not long after that their hug became a group hug with Noel involved as well. It signified how much Kurt meant to all of them and the wounded boy couldn't feel more loved.
The day passed quickly and before they knew it they were back in Rosewood and entering their house. Before Kurt could make it up to his room with Noel a voice stopped him.
"Kurt, I need to talk to you" Aria said as she entered the living room through the kitchen. Kurt looked to his boyfriend and then to Spencer. They knew what he was about to learn and it was obvious Aria wanted to speak alone so he led her upstairs to his room and closed the door.
"What's going on Aria?" He asked as soon as the door was locked when he turned through he wasn't prepared to see his friend in tears
"I killed her Kurt." She said with a sob, before running into his arms and holding on tight. He held her for several minutes until she finally calmed down and he had her sitting on his bed once again holding her.
"Who did you kill?" He asked knowing right away that if she didn't have to kill this person she wouldn't have
"Shana, she was the one who shot you. She was going to kill the other girls, I had to do it." She explained though the shame was present on her face
"Aria of course you had to, she didn't give you a choice." Kurt replied as he hugged his friend tighter
"I keep going back and thinking maybe I could've found another way…" Kurt quickly cut her off
"She didn't give you a choice, she shot me, she was going to kill our friends and you, there was no choice it was self-defense."
"Then why do I feel so awful?" Aria asked with another sob. Kurt allowed her to cry it out till there were no more tears before making her face him and answering.
"Because you're you, Aria you're the most compassionate one out of all of us. You run on your emotions but you can't let those emotions label you as a bad person or a murderer because some crazy bitch didn't give you any other way out. Her death is HER fault not yours, do you hear me?" He asked with the same tone Peter used to make it clear there was no arguing with him
"I suppose; I don't know how to live with this Kurt."
"You let us help you, we will get you through this and in time you'll finally see that what you did was what you had to do."
With that they hugged again for several minutes, neither one willing to let the other go. It wasn't until both their phones went off at the same time that they let go of one another. Looking at each other they knew who the sender was before looking at the text.
Kurt's been shot and Aria's a killer, what happened that night is not nearly as bad as what I have in store for you.
