Sam woke up with his neck stiff and his arm asleep. He looked over and noticed it was wrapped around a body. Oh yeah, it's wrapped around Kurt. That's when he remembered the night before.

"Hey… Hey Kurt," Sam whispered into the smaller boy's ear and gently shook his shoulder.

"Hnng? … Oh, Sam, what are you…" Recognition crossed Kurt's face. "Oh yeah." Kurt laid back down and turned to face Sam. "That was the first time I've slept since… since Dad's been in the hospital…" He looked like he was about to cry again. Sam brushed his cheek with his thumb, very gently.

"Are you okay? Wait, that was a dumb question… Are you… feeling a little better? My mom always says that a cry and a good night sleep can make things better."

"Well, I've had plenty of cries so I don't know about that but at least a good night's sleep should make me look less like a zombie…" Kurt laughed softly before his face turned serious. "I'm still really scared though."

Sam pulled Kurt to his chest and just held him there. Not only because Kurt needed the hug, but because he was scared too. He didn't want to tell Kurt that, but he wasn't sure if Burt Hummel was gonna make it out of this. Sam remembered when his uncle had his heart attack. It was a similar situation. He was in a coma for eight days until his heart eventually just… gave out. Sam remembered the funeral. His cousin's were crying… but they still had their mother. Kurt didn't. It just seemed so unfair; he had already had so much taken from him there was no way he could lose his dad too, right? Wasn't there some rule against that? But life didn't work that way, there was no rules only chaos, and there was nothing Sam could do about it. So he just held Kurt tight, hoping that he could give him some strength because it seemed the poor boy had no more left.

"Hello?"

"Hey man, it's Finn."

"Oh. Sup?"

"Yeah, man I just wanted to let you know since, you've been like the only person he'll talk to lately…"

"What?"

"Kurt's dad woke up."

"…Are you serious?"

"Yeah I'm calling from the hospital I just thought I'd let you know…. Sam? ...You there?"

Sam rushed to the hospital, hoping he was in the same room he was at last time, and rushed to a stop outside of Burt Hummel's hospital room. Finn and (he's assume to be) Finn's mom were sitting on chairs smiling and talking, while Kurt was curled up on the bed next to Burt, seemingly asleep. Sam didn't want to intrude on the family moment so he took a seat outside the room, getting lost in his thoughts. It's happening again. I thought… I thought after I'd leave boarding school, after being around chics for once… it might… what was I thinking. Of course it wouldn't I can't change the fact that I'm—

"Sam? What are you doing here?"

Sam was pulled out of his thoughts by Kurt's confused voice.

"Oh hey, Finn called. He said your dad woke up."

Kurt smiled and sat down next to Sam. "Yeah he did. A couple hours ago. Doctor's say he has no brain damage from the lack of oxygen and aside from being a little grumpy he should be fine." Sam noticed that Kurt looked like a huge weight had been lifted from his slender shoulders. He was still smiling when he looked at Sam.

"Thank you Sam."

"For what?"

"For being there for me. While everyone else was busy praying for themselves you were really there for me. You did more than I could have asked of… from anyone." Kurt smiled a watery smile. "And now I'm just… so happy that he's okay. I used to think that… when my mom died, that was the hardest time of my life. I was so wrong. This past week has to have been the worst week of my life… but you helped me through it." Kurt, hesitantly at first, wrapped his arms around Sam in a tight embrace.

"Thank you, Sam. I owe you. I don't know why you helped me, but I appreciate it more than you'll ever know."

I did it because I care about you. More than you'll ever know.
