Chapter 11: Trust Nobody

"Kurt, what happened?" Will asked, as Puck and Finn made their way down the hill to get the bodies.

"I was umm, I woke up. I couldn't sleep." The words struggled to come out of his mouth. "Artie, he wasn't in his bed. I umm, got up and I left the room. I, I, thought he would be in the living room, reading or something. When I was closing the door I umm, there was a note. The rhyme, Jack and Jill. I,I didn't know what it meant so I went into the living room. He wasn't in there so I was going to go and look around for him but then I umm, Mercedes came out of her room. She, she said she found a note on her door. It was, was the same note. And then, then she said Tina was missing." Kurt sniffed. "We, umm, Mercedes and I, we went to look for them. Thought maybe they could have, you know, gone for a walk or something, to clear their minds." Kurt paused to take a breath. "We found them here about twenty minutes before you got here."

"And where's Mercedes now Kurt?" Will questioned, as he looked around, trying to find her.

Kurt froze as he remembered, "She went back to the house, she went back to look for you guys" He lifted his hand to wipe a tear. "And now you're here and she's not. What if I sent her to her death? I told her to go back to the house. I should have gone with her. Why did I let her go alone?" Kurt stood up and started pacing. "What have I done?"

Mr Schue rested a hand on Kurt's shoulder and sighed. "Kurt I'm sure she's fine. She'll come along in a minute, right as rain. She's probably waiting at the house for us right now." Kurt looked up at Will and managed to give him a small smile. And for the first time since Emma died Will managed to smile back.

When the boy's returned up the hill, the rest of the group got a closer look at their dead friends. What they had been unable to see from the hill's peak was the conditions of the bodies. Artie's glasses had been broken and he had several cuts and bruises all over his face. There was a tear in his trousers, over the knee, which showed his cut open flesh. Tina had a busted lip and bruises and cuts up and down her arm. Blood covered their clothes. The sight made Rachel heave.

Santana looked down to the bottom of the hill. "They must have fallen onto the rocks" she assumed.

Finn nodded. "It looked pretty rough down there. The rocks looked really jagged."

"Okay guys, we're going to go back to the house. Finn, you can put Tina in with Em, umm Miss Pilsbury. And Puck um could you put Artie in with Mike." Will looked at Puck who winced at the mention of Mike. "I'll understand if you don't want to go in there. I can carry him in if you want." Will knew that Puck was Mike's best friend. Second only to Matt. He didn't want to go in the room. He didn't want to see Mike. But he knew it was better for him to than Puck. Puck wasn't the emotional type but whenever Mike was mentioned he looked ready to burst into tears.

"What about Mercedes?" Kurt cried.

Quinn placed an arm around Kurt's shoulder for comfort. "If she isn't back at the house when we get there, we'll send out a search party. Straight away." She stroked a few tears from Kurt's eyes then turned to face Will. "Isn't that right Mr Schue?"

Will nodded. "Umm, of course. Right away"

The journey back to the house was quiet, but not silent. Rachel hummed almost noiselessly, hoping that she could maybe forget about everything, even for a moment. Brittany and Santana talked quietly to one another. Quinn kept her arm around Kurt's shoulder for support and the two walked with Will. Puck and Finn were at the rear of the group, carrying the bodies.

They walked into the living room and to everyone's relief, especially Kurt's, Mercedes was sat on one of the big armchairs, her hand rested on Matt's leg. Kurt's knees gave way and he fell to the floor, tears fell from his eyes and for the first time since they got here they were tears of happiness, not sorrow.

"Mercedes" he smiled as he felt her body slide beside him and pull him into a warm embrace. "Don't you do that to me again Cedes. I thought I'd lost you." He pressed a kiss to her forehead. "Never do that to me again"

Matt couldn't help but envy Kurt. The way his face lit up as he saw Mercedes. The way he cried tears of happiness, when every one of Matt's were of sorrow. He just wished he could feel that moment of happiness. He wished Mike would bounce into the room, the cheerful, happy, carefree teenager that he was. He wished he could hug him and he wished Mike would tell him everything was okay. He wasn't really gone. But now all of Matt's happy memories of Mike were overshadowed by the image of him dying in his arms. The way his body lay lifeless and still. The way his face showed no emotion.

Before the others got back Mercedes had persuaded Matt to come out of his room to talk. They talked about Mike and Emma and she had told him about Tina and Artie. In a way it made Matt feel a bit better to be able to talk about what had happened.

"Mercedes' it great that you're safe." Mr Schue smiled at the girl, genuinely happy to see her. He walked over to the sofas and placed a hand on Matt's shoulder. "It's good to see you as well Matt. But guys this isn't safe at all. Us staying here. None of us are truly safe. We need to get out of here."

"The stupid jerk that's doing this busted the bus. How can we get away?" Puck grumbled angrily.

Mr Schue sighed. "I don't know."
