The Event

Puck slowly opened the door. He peered through to see Kurt sleeping on the small bed. He slipped quietly in the room.

He looks so small.

Puck sat down slowly at the small bedside chair. He watched Kurts chest.

Breathe in, breathe out. He's so peaceful.

He stood up and sat down on the bed. He let us fingers run across the small boys hairline.

"I'm sorry Kurt."

Kurt smiled in his sleep.

"I know I shouldn't even be here, but I had to apologize. I'm the one that started everything. I was your first bully. I gave you your first slushy. Your first swirly and dumpster dive. I'm the cause of it all." Puck confessed.

He bit his lip and took a breath.

"I ruined your life. And I am so so sorry." Puck choked back a sob.

He cupped Kurts face.

"I just want you to know that you'll never be alone. Even if you don't see the help, it'll be there. I'll be there." He leaned down and gives the smaller boy a small kiss on his forehead.

Kurts eyes fluttered open. Puck sat back.

"Puck?"

"Hey Kurt. How're you feeling?" Puck asked softly.

"Sleepy. What happened to your face?" Kurt asked as he noticed Pucks face.

"Your dad."

"What?"

"I deserved it." Puck admitted.

"Don't say that."

"I did."

Kurt took a breath. "Why did he do it?"

"You're in the hospital and I'm you're formal bully. And I kept telling him how sorry I was." Puck took a deep breath. "So he hit me. He kept hitting me and you know what? I deserved it." He held up a hand to stop Kurt from talking. "I bullied you so much. And even though your father beat the crap out of me, I am still in debt to you both. You could even kill me and I'd still won't be able to fix everything I've done. I am so . . . " Puck choked out a sob. He quickly wiped away his tears with the back of his hand. "I am so sorry Kurt."

Kurt grabbed Pucks hand and squeezed. Puck looked at Kurt.

"Don't." Kurt said.

He reached up and touched Pucks trembling lips.

"Don't. It's not your fault."

Puck leaned into Kurts hand and let the smaller boy cup his face.

"I'm sorry I couldn't come with you. I wanted to come with you. So much. But the doctors said no." Puck cried.

"Shh. It's okay." Kurt smiled. "I understand. I'm sorry I yelled at you. I just wanted to be with someone I knew. I didn't want to be alone."

Puck placed both hands on the sides of the boys face.

"You'll never be alone again. I promise you." He quickly kissed Kurts forehead. "I promise you. You'll never be alone."

"Thank you Puck." Kurt closed his eyes and let a tear escape.

I promise you Kurt.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Puck asked quietly.

"Not today. Soon though." Kurt answered.

"Okay."

Kurt scooted over a little bit and patted the bed.

"Can you stay with me? Until my dad gets back?" Kurt asked.

Puck let out a shaky breath. "Sure."

Puck laid down beside the small boy.

Kurt looked at Puck.

"Can you . . . " Kurt took a deep breath and he let a few tears escape. "Can you hold me?"

Puck smiled. "Yes."

Puck wrapped his arm around the small boy and pulled him closer. Kurt faced Puck and let his face fall into the bigger boys chest. He started crying.

"I'm sorry. I should never have tried that. I don't want to die. I just wanted it over." Kurt cried.

Puck wrapped his arms tight around the boy.

"It's okay." He cried as he set his head on top of Kurts. "It's okay. You're safe. That's all that matters and I'm not going to leave you. Ever?"

I promise Kurt. I will help you until the day I die.

MERCEDES

Burt and Carole approached the three girls. They all stood up.

"How is he Burt?" Mercedes asked.

"He's good." Burt answered quietly.

Mercedes approached him and pulled him into a hug. He held on tight.

"It's okay Burt. He'll be okay. We're all here to help him." Mercedes told him.

He pulled back and placed his hands on her shoulders.

"Please tell me. Did you know he was like this? Suicidal?" He whispered the last question.

"No. I never would even dreamed that he would think of it." Mercedes answered.

Burt nodded and moved away, drying his tears.

"Kurt has requested that he has no visitors." Burt told her.

What the hell?

"Including me?" She asked.

He hung his head. "Yeah. I know you're his best friend, but hopefully this will be the space he'll need to get through this."

"She nodded her head. "I guess we can get updates through Finn."

"Finns not allowed in the room either." Carole put in.

"What? So is it just you two?" Quinn asked.

"No. Kurt also asked that Noah be allowed in." Carole told them. "I think he feels safe after what Noah did for him today."

The girls nodded.

"Can you give him our love?" Mercedes asked.

"Of course Mercedes." Burt answered.

"And call me on updates?"

"Yeah." Burt answered quietly.

Mercedes approached the older ma.

"Don't worry about it Burt. You're a great dad. We both know it and so does he. This isn't your fault." Mercedes said.

"I should have known though." Burt said before leaning into his wife and crying quietly into her shoulder.

"Why don't you girls go? Let his other friends know what's going on and I'll call you tomorrow." Carole said.

The girls nodded and said their goodbyes,

"Who all do we want to tell?" Tina asked once in the car.

"I don't know. We need to get back to the school." Mercedes answered.

"It's going to be a madhouse." Quinn said.

"Maybe we should do one-on-ones. That way we can answer any and all questions without confusion." Tina suggested.

"That might work, but for now, we get back to the school and see what's being done." Mercedes said.

"If those jerks aren't in prison by the time we get there, then by god I might kill them." Quinn threatened.

Mercedes laid a hand on the blond girls shoulder.

"It's okay Quinn. We're all going to protect him." Mercedes offered a small smile.

Quinn didn't return one and looked out the window, rage was spread across her face.

So what do you think? I wrote this while watching the most recent episode "Choke." A lot of the emotional parts were written while I had Cry on a loop. Lea is amazing. Anyways, please review and critique.
