The Event

Puck sat in the waiting room. His leg was shaking with nervousness. He held his face in his hands, sobbing.

"Puck?"

Puck looked up to see Burt and Carole running to him. Puck tossed himself into Caroles arms, sobbing.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." He cried.

"Shh baby. What's the matter? Talk to me. Is this about Kurt?" She asked as she held onto him.

"Yes. I tried to stop him." He cried.

He felt a hand on his shoulder and looked up into the face of Hummel senior.

"What happened? Sam called and said we should be here. He didn't have time to tell us what happened." Burt squeezed his shoulder.

"Kurt." He choked out. "He . . . tried to . . . commit suicide." He sobbed into Caroles chest.

Burt grabbed the boy and turned him around to face him.

"What the hell are you talking about kid?" He demanded.

"He tried to jump off the school." Puck whispered quietly.

Burt took a step back, removing his hand from Puck.

"No. My Kurt wouldn't do that." he was in shock.

"I'm sorry." Puck cried.

Burt began pacing.

"No! My Kurt would never do that. Why the hell would you say that?" Burt yelled.

"It's true. I caught him before he jumped. He tried to jump. He kept yelling at me to let him go. He wanted to die." Puck whispered that last part through his tears.

"NO!" Burt yelled before punching Puck in the face.

Puck went down.

Kill me.

Burt kept punching him.

"No. My boy would never."

Another hit.

"Why?" Burt sobbed as he fell back from Puck.

Carole stood between the two, sobbing.

Puck looked in Burts direction, but not at him.

"I'm so, so sorry."

Burt scrambled from the room crying.

MERCEDES

The three girls charged into the emergency room. They ran up to the front desk.

"Kurt Hummel. He should have been brought here."

"I'm sorry Miss. He's under watch and isn't allowed visitors outside the family." The receptionist responded.

"Mercedes."

The girls turned to see Puck sitting in the waiting room. His eyes were bloodshot. His face was bruised.

"Oh Puck." Mercedes raced to the boy.

Puck pulled her into a tight hug.

"I'm sorry." He whispered into her hair.

"No Puck. It's not your fault." She whispered back.

Puck pulled back and fell into his chair.

"How can you say that? I'm the one that started bullying him. I'm the one that pushed him to his suicide." Puck cried into his hands.

Three warm bodies wrapped themselves around him.

"It's not your fault Puck. You've been so nice to him since you've started glee. He counts you as a friend." Tina whispered.

"Right. And you're the one that saved him. Doesn't that count for something?" Mercedes asked.

Puck looked up at the three girls.

"No. He hates me. He wanted to die and I stopped him. He'll never forgive me." Puck cried.

Mercedes kneeled down in front of him. She put her hand out and lifted up his chin. He looked at her.

"He will. He will realize his mistakes of today. And you were more of a friend to him today than anyone else. You were the only one to go up to that roof and get him down. The rest of us were frozen. You acted. You acted and saved his life. You acted like a friend. Now cheer up and realize how great you are." Mercedes leaned up and kissed him on the forehead.

Puck put up a week smile. "Thank you Aretha."

Mercedes smiled and pulled him into a hug. Puck then gave the other two girls a hug before they sat down.

"So what do you know?" Quinn asked.

"He's under watch. His parents are in there now." Puck answered.

Mercedes placed a hand on the bigger boys shoulder. "How's Burt doing?"

Puck sighed. "He's angry. That's an understatement actually."

"Did he do this to you?" Quinn asked.

"Yeah. He was just . . . so angry. He didn't believe me. He might be in shock now." Puck answered.

Tina but an arm around the boy. "You should feel good. Not everyone can live up to the rage of daddy Burt. You may have a chance of dating Kurt after all."

Puck looked up at the girl. "What are you talking about?"

"Come on Puck. You practically professed your love for Kurt. And I know you said it to stall him, but that was quick thinking. Quick thinking usually has partial truth in it." Tina explained.

Puck chuckled. "He's like a little bro. I don't want to see him hurt."

The girls exchanged a glance.

"It's okay to have feelings for him Puck." Quinn said.

Puck smiled a bit. "I guess. But nothing right now. He needs time. We all do."

The girls nodded in agreement.

"Puck."

PUCK

Puck looked up to see Burt. He eyes were bloodshot and his tears were stained on his face.

"Can we talk?"

Puck nodded and got to his feet.

"We'll only be a few girls."

Puck slowly followed Burt until they were in an empty hallway. Burt turned around.

"I . . . I wanted to apologize to you. For what I did." Burt said.

Puck shook his head. "No. It's my fault."

"No it's not. I just . . . didn't want to believe it. I mean . . . he's my only son. The last bit of family that I have left." Burt took a deep breath. "Kurt told me what you did. So did a few EMTs that were there before you were pulled up."

"It's no big d-"

Burt pulled the muscular boy into a hug. "It is. He's my only family. And you saved him." Burt sobbed into Pucks shoulder. "You saved my boy." He pulled back and looked into Pucks eyes. "I am . . . I am so grateful to you. You saved two lives today."

Burt pulled back from the hug and took off down the hallway.

So what do you think? It's really hard writing for an emotional Burt, but I tried. It's hard to really write for anyone emotionally drained. So do you think I did good? Next chapter will have Kurt. So review everything and criticize everything. I love reviews.
