Chapter 15:
On Tuesday Sarah was sick. It was just a cold but was enough for her to stay at home the whole day. Puck's mom had taken her day off to look after her so Puck went to school his mind at peace. Hopefully Karofsky would be arrested before the following day and everything would be back to normal.
Yet, when he parked his truck in the school parking lot he caught sight of the jock walking shamelessly towards the entrance. After a short hesitation, because he didn't want to talk to the boy, Puck grabbed his mobile and called Kurt, but he didn't take the call. He called again but still no answer. Concern was filling him. What if Karofsky had managed to kidnap him again ? What if he had decided to punish Kurt for escaping ?
Puck jumped out of his truck still trying to call Kurt but the boy never answered. He ran towards the school entrance looking for something that could indicate that Kurt was here at school healthy. He went by his locker but there was no one there. He tried to find Finn to ask him still trying to call the boy, but Finn was nowhere to be seen either. He would have stayed at home with his parents if something happened to his brother. Puck thought panic stricken.
That's when he saw it. He wouldn't have noticed it two weeks before but now it caught his eyes like the brightest light. The hem of a red scarf turning on the corner of the corridor; it could have belonged to any girl at school if it wasn't for the fancy men boots the boy was wearing. Puck ran to the corner his mobile still stuck on his ear when he saw Kurt grabbing his mobile and switching it off before entering the girls' bathroom. Puck entered as well to find Kurt applying make up on his bruises.
"What the fuck was that ?" Puck asked infuriated.
"You should not be here." Kurt said calmly.
"You ignore me now ? Have you got any fuckin' idea how worried I was ? I thought you had been kidnapped again !" Puck shouted, hating how calm Kurt looked.
"Sorry for getting you worried, as you can see I'm okay." Kurt stated.
"Well I'm not ! What the fuck is he doing here ? He should be behind bars right now !" Puck said outraged.
"That's why I didn't take your calls you're always yelling." Kurt said.
"Oh yeah I'm yelling ! And I'll be yelling as long as you won't tell me what the fuck is your problem ! He threatened my sister Kurt ! My sister !" Puck shouted.
" I had a talk with him yesterday night and I told him that as long as he doesn't get close to your sister I'm not suing him." Kurt explained still applying make-up.
"You're joking right ? You're letting him go away with all he did ? Did something hit your head or something ?" Puck asked seriously because, really, nothing else could explain Kurt's behavior.
"My mental health is great, thank you very much. I just can't ruin his life like that, he's grieving and needs help."
"So now you're gonna help him ? After he sequestered you for two weeks you're gonna help him ?" Puck asked bewildered.
"I didn't say that I would be the one to help him, but he needs help and he won't find it in jail."
"You know what ? If you don't report him to the police I will. I have no idea what's going on in that stupid head of yours but I'm not following it !" Puck shouted.
"If you do that I'll report you for sexual assault." Kurt said looking at Puck in the eyes through the mirror.
" I never assaulted you !" Puck exclaimed.
"Really ? Then what happened ?" Kurt asked quirking an eyebrow, challenging Puck to answer.
" I have no idea what the fuck happened, but either have you !"
"Exactly but I can say whatever I want to the police since I'm the victim in all this. I don't want you no harm Puck, all I'm asking you is to give him a second chance."
"You're so stupid ! I know you can be naïve and everything but you can't think there's a good guy inside of this dumbass !"
"He won't touch your sister Puck, that's all that matters. I know you won't do anything as cruel as denouncing him." Kurt said slipping his make-up in his little bag before stepping towards Puck. " I just need you to trust me." He added extending his arms as to hug Puck like Puck had hugged him right after being locked up the shed for the second time. But the boy he had hugged was not the one he was looking at. He had lost the innocence and vulnerability he once had and had turned into an arrogant spoiled brat who always got what he wanted.
"Don't touch me." Puck sneered before storming out of the room.
On his way to his first class, Puck caught sight of Karofsky sitting in a classroom and could not hold it. He entered the room and walked straight to the jock, ignoring the teacher's calls he grabbed him by the collar.
"Don't you fuckin' dare laying one of your dirty fingers on my sister or I'll make you eat your cock bit by bit !" He threatened before releasing him and storming off.
Puck spent the day alone not talking to anyone. He kept a constant eye on Karofsky to check if the jock was still here.
When he entered the choir room at the end of the day he saw Kurt looking sad and Mercedes trying to cheer him up but he didn't care, he walked to a chair in the corner of the room and sat down not looking at anyone. He was almost glad to see that Kurt wasn't happy. He didn't deserve to be happy after what he had done. Threatening Puck of reporting him for sexual assault was not Kurt like. Any arrogant bitch would be able to do that, but not Kurt. At least not the Kurt he had met in the hut.
"I'd like to pair up with Puck." The Mohawk boy heard. He lifted his head to see Kurt looking at him.
"You're joking right ? There's no way I'm doing anything with you." Puck stated.
"Puck, calm down. I don't want any animosity in my class. You will work with Kurt and that's final." Mr Schue said.
"I'm out." Puck said standing up and walking at the door. Kurt grabbed his valid arm.
"Puck please don't leave." He begged him.
"What are you playing at ? You think that after what you did I'm gonna be all friends with you ? Screw that ! And don't touch me !" He said shoving Kurt's arm away. He didn't want to say more, nobody knew what was going on, nobody even knew that Puck had known where Kurt was for the past two weeks.
"I know but I thought that-"
"You were wrong, I don't wanna have anything to do with you." Puck said before leaving for good.
It hurt. It hurt badly. Seeing the pain in Kurt's eyes hurt. But Puck didn't want to be hurt by that. He should not. He should not care about Kurt because Kurt didn't care about him at all. He wish the last two weeks never happened. Wish he never grew attached to the little brat who was playing with him. His life was fuckin' perfect before all that ! He had never been scared for his sister's life. All of this was Kurt's fault. So the best he could do now was to stay away from Hummel and keep an eye on Sarah.
