Chapter 18:
Kurt was in his room thinking things over. The events of the night before where all over his mind. He had been weak; all the fears he had hidden until then were out now. He had admitted everything to Puck and felt bad about that.
He had told Puck that he still wanted to be his boyfriend. Maybe that was the worst decision he could have taken but he needed Puck to be there with him like he had been since the beginning. He knew Puck and knew what his reputation was, he was not relationship material. Even less first relationship of a fragile boy material. But Kurt liked to think that the Mohawk boy had changed because it really appeared like he had. After all he had not been with a girl ever since Kurt had been kidnapped and he really seemed to like Kurt.
The smaller boy would just have to make things clear with Puck and everything would be okay. Hopefully.
Someone knocked at his door before entering the room, it was Finn. The tall jock had spent the day talking to Kurt, trying to understand what had happened between the two boys for them to be dating now. However when Finn's face appeared he looked in shock.
"Kurt, something happened. It's Puck, he's at the hospital."
Walking home from the mall, Puck was happier than ever. Kurt had not come back on what he had said the night before. In the morning, when Kurt had woken up, Puck had dreaded him to freak out and run away from him, but instead, he had cuddled closer to him and kissed him.
All of this was brand new to Puck and he didn't know what to think of all that. Kurt was a boy and Puck had never liked a boy that way. He had an immense affection for the boy, an affection he had never felt for any girl. He had never been in a real relationship, that was new too. He would have to be faithful and everything, something he had never managed to be before. He didn't want to be something bad for Kurt, he was already going through too much crap to add a bad boyfriend to it. But if Puck managed not to screw everything up, he would be a great help for Kurt.
That's why he was walking home from the mall, he hated the place, there was always too much people, but he had found a present for Kurt to show him that he really cared. It was black leather bracelet he thought would fit Kurt's style perfectly.
All of a sudden, Puck felt a presence just behind him, he could feel a heavy breathing on his neck.
"Goin' somewhere Puckerman ?" Karofsky asked.
"What d'you want Dave ?" Puck asked clenching his fists at the memory of the desperation in Kurt's voice the night before.
"Well I made it clear to Kurt that bad things would happen to him if something happened between you two. The thing is, you slept together and decided to date so that's bad." Karofsky said. He sounded really confident.
"If you lay a finger on Kurt I swear you're dead !" Puck threatened. The bigger jock just smirked.
"Yeah that was the idea at first. But then I realized that I like him and I don't like you. Disfiguring him would be a bad waste so I opted for you. I know he will be hurt if something happens to you." Karofsky explained. Puck laughed at that statement.
"And I assume you would be the one disfiguring me ?" He asked.
"That was the idea yeah." Karofsky said. "You see, at first I was attracted to Kurt because he was beautiful and proud and there was no risk for him to be taken by someone else. But now I realize that he's nothing but a little slut who spreads his legs for the first boy around." The insult was too much for Puck, he clenched his fist but just before he hit his nose, his elbow was caught by someone.
"I don't think you'll be the one delivering punches today Puckerman." The big jock said. Two hands grabbed Puck's arms and locked them behind his back, he found himself almost unable to move. The first punch hit his cheek.
"You fuckin' bastard !" He shouted. Two other guys appeared by his side. "Don't touch me !" He struggled to get free.
"He's the jerk who slept with that nice piece of ass yo showed us ?" One of the men asked. Karofsky nodded. After that, Puck could not count the blows he received. Puck was used to get blows thank to his fight club. However, nothing could have prepared him to the sharp pain he felt in his stomach all of a sudden. The last thing he saw was Karofsky's smirk that turned into a blurry mess before everything turned black.
"Now it is Kurt's turn, but don't worry we won't touch his face. We've got something much better for him." Karofsky's voice said. And that was all.
Everything was white. And there was nothing around, like he was nowhere. All he knew was that the surroundings were white. He knew no place that white, he must have passed out or something because he felt dizzy. It felt like only his mind was here because he couldn't feel his body. Or maybe his body was just too numb for him to feel it.
There was a voice not far but Puck could not see anyone. He wanted to ask where the person was but no sound went out of his throat. There was something around his torso, it was tight and not pleasant.
That's when it hit him, his clothes had been changed and the bracelet was in his jeans' pocket. He had lost Kurt's present. Kurt would not know that he really cared. He would dump him because he was the worst boyfriend ever.
There was something else about Kurt. Something he had to worry about but he could not recall what.
"It's not your fault." Puck heard Finn's voice saying. He did not know if he agreed or not since he had no idea what happened.
"Yes it is ! He had told me that bad things would happen if Puck and I decided to date and I … I just shrugged it and now he's..." Kurt sounded totally wretched. "They stabbed him Finn. All he had done was being wonderful to me and he... He would look the same if he were dead." Kurt was crying it was terrible to hear.
"Come here." Finn said. Puck heard the muffled sound of Kurt crying in his brother's chest and was glad for Finn to be here for once.
"What if he never wakes up ?" Kurt asked. So there was a risk of him to never wake up. Maybe the fact that he was aware of his surroundings made him out of risk.
"You should go and rest at home." Finn said. "I'll look after him for now."
"You call me if he wakes up." Kurt asked, he sounded exhausted, how many time had he been in this bed ?
"Yes. Oh by the way, Puck's mom already pressed charges against Karofsky. " Finn said.
"So he got arrested ?" Kurt asked in disbelief.
"Not exactly they're looking for him, he disappeared."
"The coward probably ran away." Kurt said. " I'll come back in an hour."
Suddenly Puck panicked. He knew that Kurt should not go away alone. It was dangerous.
Now it is Kurt's turn, but don't worry we won't touch his face. We've got something much better for him.
