So I know this is super short, but I hope you like it anyway. It really didn't feel right to add any more to this chapter.
"So you're saying he CAN'T audition?" Kurt practically screamed at Wes and David when they told him, "Both Blaine and I recommended him! He has to be able to audition! What the hell!"
"Well, the school administration contacted us and said that Lucian wasn't allowed to join any extracurricular activities, including the Warblers." David tried to explain, looking rather taken aback at Kurt's outburst of anger. Even Blaine had to admit that Kurt's mad face was intimidating, "The chairman himself contacted us, Kurt! W can't do anything!"
Kurt let loose a growl of disgust and turned away from the shocked David, Wes, and Blaine. He looked as though he was about to leave the room and never return, leaving the Warblers without a counter-tenor and Blaine without a love interest. Blaine had to do something.
"Wait!" He yelled, "We can let him audition and see if he would even make it, then if he does he can talk to the chairman."
Kurt spun around and looked slightly happier as he returned to his seat. Blaine was glad he had averted the crisis. Every other warbler in the room still looked dazed from Kurt's outburst. The rest of the meeting went well, though he and Kurt were disappointed when Katy Perry and Lady Gaga were both vetoed as they suggested them.
Kurt was walking down the hall toward Luce's room, bouncing with happiness. He had managed to get Luce an audition, though the whole chairman thing was weird. You had to do something really bad to be banned from extracurricular activities, right?
As he got closer to Luce's room, he heard rather strange and extremely loud music coming from Luce's room. He opened the door to find the room completely dark with iPod speakers blaring.
…Schrei! Und wenn es das Letzte ist
Schrei! Auch wenn es weh tut
Schrei so laut du kannst
The song was only familiar to him because he had heard it in passing while trolling the internet to find songs to sing in Glee club. It was 'Schrei (Scream)' by Tokio Hotel.
Every thought about the audition and everything else flew out of Kurt's head, leaving only two questions. Why was Luce curled up in a ball on his bed in the dark? And WHY would he possibly be listening to German emo music?
Kurt went over to the speakers to turn the music off, and then went and sat beside the ball he assumed was Luce.
"Hey, Luce, what's wrong? What is it?" he said as he pulled back the covers with only a sob in response. What he saw made him gasp in shock. Lucian's upper body was covered with a plethora of big purple bruises and cuts, beneath which older scars from similar wounds were visible. Who could have done this to Luce? Especially with the zero-tolerance bullying policy. Kurt wondered as he regained his ability to think. Luce's eyes, glassy from many tears, were fixed on a lit-up cell phone screen. Kurt picked it up and was horrified again by what he read there.

It was dated from this morning when Kurt's friends had been visiting.
