Blaine got off the phone with Finn a few minutes later after receiving the news that Kurt had been found alive.

He was taking the time to process the news. He had been glad that David had been nearby for emotional support. He was overjoyed that he had been found, but that joy so turned into worry when Finn divulged that Kurt was in the hospital. Blaine decided then and there, that he was going to the hospital, even if was a good drive from Westerville. He had to see Kurt.

"Where are you going?" A voice asked as he checked for his keys and began to walk out of the down the halls of Dalton, keys in hand.

"I am going to see Kurt."

"I am coming with you."

"David, you don't have to really. I am fine I promise."

"No you are not, and you definitely won't be okay to drive."

After some protesting and intervention, Blaine finally gave up his keys, and he, Wes, and David all piled into his blue Honda Civic.

All during the drive, Blaine tried to encourage David to drive faster. David, of course would respond by telling Blaine to shut up, and threaten to push him out the passenger door if he did not shut his trap.

Blaine could not help it. He was worried. Terrified that if he didn't get there in time, that he would not be able to apologize to Kurt, to make things right. He wanted to tell Kurt that he was not at all like the monster that made his life a living hell. That he loved spending time with Kurt. He was funny, smart, witty and strong. Something Blaine deeply admired. Kurt had tried to endure his bullies as long as possible. He wanted to tell Kurt that every-time he was around him; he felt butterflies in his stomach. He wanted to tell Kurt that his feelings for Jeremiah or Rachel could not even begin to compare to the feelings he had for Kurt.

Three hours later, they arrived at the hospital. Blaine felt himself the jitters being to grow. His stomach was churning in knots as they entered through the doors. They were greeted by Finn downstairs. Finn's eyes were red and puffy. Finn looked shaken. Blaine felt his stomach drop a bit more.

"Blaine, I told you did not have to come man."

"Finn, what's going on? How is he?"

Blaine was shocked when Finn reached out and hugged him tightly. After a few awkward moments hebroke the hug, looking awkward. "Sorry, I needed that."

"How is he doing?" Blaine repeated.

"Not good. They were able to stabilize him, but they have him on breathing tubes. Some detectives came by before he went off to surgery to collect evidence. He is in surgery right now; he has been in surgery for a while. He was hurt real bad." He swallowed hard and began to look uncomfortable. He cleared his throat, "Actually Blaine I was wondering if I could mention something to you alone." Blaine nodded to Wes and David, who took the hint. They walked off to get some coffee. They shot Blaine some worried glances over their shoulder as they walked off.

Finn then continued, he still looked really uncomfortable.

"Blaine, umm. Whoever did this, hurt him real bad. When Santana found him, he was all beat up. He almost didn't make it to the hospital. They have almost lost him twice. And they say..." Finn's voice started to break up. "I am sorry dude; it's just so hard you know?" Blaine nodded in agreement. "Kurt is always the strong one, I mean look what he had to put up with..They say...God this is so hard to say. They say that he was rrraped repeatedly by whoever did this to him. That he was tied down wherever and... ttthat was done to him. Along with other stuff which I didn't understand when the doctor rambled off."

Blaine's veins' turned to ice. He felt sick. Sweet, funny, sarcastic Kurt had been hurt in the worst possible ways. The same Kurt who had never been properly kissed until the bully took that away from him.

"They don't know if there will be any psychological damage. It is just so hard to wrap my head around you know?" Finn continued. Blaine nodded, feeling his eyes water and tears fall.

"Um I told Burt about how close you guys are, and they won't let anyone but family see him until he is out of the intensive care. You are welcome to get a hotel or stay at our house in Lima if you want to. I know Westerville is a far drive. They just don't know how long he will be in intensive care."

As much as Blaine wanted to stay in Lima and wait for Kurt to come around, he had to return to school. Although Finn promised Blaine that when he got the green light for other visitors, he would let Blaine know right way.

On the drive back, Wes and David kept asking him if he was alright, sending distressed glances in his direction. Blaine didn't say anything. He was glad that Finn texted him to tell him that Kurt got out of surgery. He didn't dare disclose what Finn had told him. It was too disturbing to think about. He thoughts started to drift over to possible culprits for those horrible acts inflicted onto Kurt. Of course the first name that came to find was Karofsky. Even though he was taken off the person of interest list, Blaine did not trust the police's judgment. He had seen first-hand the way that Karofsky acted around Kurt, the way he looked at him. That and the fact that Karofsky had traveled all the way out to Dalton to see Kurt made Blaine even more suspicious. Blaine was happy that Jeff had come forward with the information about Karofsky's vist, even though he had pointed Karofsky in Kurt's general direction.

Blaine started to feel sick.

Karofsky visiting Kurt.

Kurt acting differently.

The sex mess in the Warbler's room.

It was like all the pieces fit together. He saw Kurt's face when Wes was ranting off about the mess that one day. It was a look of pure panic.

Why hadn't he seen it before?

Blaine just hoped that now there was enough evidence to point the finger at Karofsky.

The next few weeks of school seemed to drag on. Blaine could not focus in class. Wes and David had resorted to holding him down and force-feeding in order to get him to eat. Blaine's mind seemed to wander back to Kurt. He felt guilty. He should have taken better action when the signs were placed right in front of him. Maybe, just maybe, he could have saved Kurt from this mess.

He was surprised when he got a call during third period from Finn. He stepped outside to take the call. Luckily his teacher was more than understanding about the situation.

'"Hello?"

"Blaine, it's Finn. They have moved Kurt out of intensive care. You are welcome to come by and visit." Finn didn't need to say anything else, for Blaine was hopping into his car right after those words came out of Finn's mouth. Screw classes, Kurt was more important.

When Blaine arrived, he felt his stomach flutter again. He was determined now to make things right, now matter what. Whoever did this to Kurt would not get away with it. Blaine followed the directions that Finn gave him and found himself in front of Kurt's room. Finn was outside waiting for him, along with a distraught Mercedes.

"Hey Blaine, glad you could make it," Blaine nodded and entered the room. Finn looked like he wanted to say something else, but Blaine ignored him, he just wanted to see Kurt. When he entered the room, Kurt was propped up on a bed. There was still machine's encased around Kurt. Blaine could not help but notice how frail Kurt looked. His face was pale and his eyes were sunken. Burt was sitting next to Kurt, holding his hand, talking to him. Kurt turned to look at his new visitor, his reaction, though was not what Blaine was expecting.

"Dad, who is this?"
