Chapter 12: Toxic
Everyone gathered around the hospital lobby. No one could believe what had happened. The first thing everyone thought it was that Finn was using again. Burt and Carole were on their way and Rachel had stepped out to get something to eat, much to her chagrin.
"How could this happen?" Kurt asked. Finn sunk down in his bed.
"I don't know, I swear. I-I haven't touched a thing." Finn stammered. Everyone took his word for it.
"I don't understand what the hell is going on." Puck said.
"Maybe it's the flu or something." Sam guessed. No one really knew what had happened. Everything seemed fine. Well for most of them anyway.
"No, guys I don't think it's the flu. But I am in pain though. My stomach's killing me." Finn said as he wrapped his hands around himself.
"Have you been eating right?" Kurt asked.
"Yes."
"You're gonna make sure he does anyway." Blaine said. Kurt just blushed, causing two people to tense up immediately.
"Enough about you!" Sebastian snapped. "If it wasn't something you ate what else could it be?"
"Could it be withdrawal?" Rory asked.
"Whatever it is, it can't be good." Dave said.
"Thanks Dave, I feel so much better now man." Finn groaned. The tension cut through the room like a knife. They all immediately looked at the door to see a gorgeous blonde man come in.
"Hi, I'm Dr. Carmichael." The tall blonde man said. As soon as he saw Kurt his whole body language changed from confident doctor, to blushing teenager. Not even that went unnoticed by three other people.
"Hey doc, can you tell us what's wrong with our boy?" Puck asked. The doctor cleared his throat and walked over to Finn.
"Well, it would seem that you have high levels HGH in your blood stream." He said as he checked the charts on Finn's bed.
"What does the house network have to do with anything?" Finn asked questioningly. Kurt shook his head.
"That's HGTV, Finn. HGH means growth hormones." Rory said. Finn looked confused. What did him growing have to do with what's happening to him. Could he be going through PMS for guys?
"So that means…what?" he asked.
"It means you have drugs in your system. And from what I can see, you've had a bad history with them." Dr. C said. Finn looked panicked.
"Ugh yeah, but I don't understand. I haven't been doing drugs. I-I mean I tried at the beginning of the year…" everyone groaned at that, "But I haven't touched anything since then." He said.
"I don't understand how someone with an addiction could take drugs again and not need more. That should've made you relapse. I mean, from the looks of it, you have a lot in your system." The doctor said.
"Is he going to be alright?" Kurt asked.
"Yeah he is. And it would appear that you have an ulcer."
"What does that mean?" Sam asked.
"It means he has a hole in his stomach." Sebastian answered.
"Dude that's sick." Dave said.
"But it would be totally awesome to see it." Puck beamed. Everyone shot him a glare. "What, it would."
"What causes that?" Blaine asked.
"In some cases it could be from high levels of stress. Been feeling any stress lately?" Finn shook his head. He had been dealing with a lot, but he didn't want to admit it. Pride issues. "Okay, I'm gonna have to put word in to your parents and the school…"
"No! I'll lose my chance at the scholarship. Plus I'll have to go back to rehab and I can't do that, please." Finn begged.
"I'm sorry. But since you're a minor, I have to tell your parents. I'll be back to check on you soon." Dr. C said and left. Finn put his head in his hands and sighed.
"What am I gonna do? That's my future going down the drain!" Finn said. Kurt went over to console his brother. Kurt wrapped the bigger boy in his arms as Finn cried.
"We'll find a way out of this. I promise." Kurt said.
"Yeah and we're all here to help you man." Sam replied.
"But the doctor was right, how is it that you didn't relapse? I mean that's quite common for addicts." Rory said. Finn leaned away from Kurt to look at Rory.
"I don't know. And now that you mention it, it does sound strange." Finn said.
"If you haven't been using, have you done anything else? Like left your drink out, leaving your food unattended...?" Sebastian asked.
"Nope, but I did forget my muscle cream at school once?" Finn said. Kurt closed his eyes to think. Could someone have set Finn up, but how? Who would do something so cruel? Then as if fate was raining down on them, their phones beeped.
"Oh dude, come on! I'm sick." Finn groaned. They all checked their phones.
"Guess whose back?" Blaine asked.
"What does it say?" Finn asked.
"'Grow up Finn! Using again? Shame on you! J.' My god, this fucker is sick. What does he mean anyway?" Blaine asked. Kurt looked at Finn and then thought about what he said. 'Grow up Finn?' There has got to be some type of clue there.
"Grow up? That's so stupid what the hell does me growing up have to do with what's happening?" All of a sudden a light went off in Kurt's head.
"I'll be right back." Kurt said as he grabbed his satchel and left the room. All of the other boys just watched.
"You think he's figured something out?" Blaine asked. No one answered. Sam felt his phone vibrate and he went to take the call.
"What's up Rome?" He asked.
"Big news man. We've got a client that's dying to meet you. Today." Rome said.
"I can't right now, besides I'm too sore from last night." Sam said.
"But he's willing to pay top dollar. Trust me, when you hear the offer you'll love it." Rome replied. Sam thought about it for a moment. He really could use the money right now so he decided to ask.
"How much is he offering?" When he received his answer, Sam's eyebrows rose in a comical way. "Alright. That sounds pretty damn good actually I'm on my way." Sam hung up and walked back into the room with his friends.
"I alright sorry guys I have to go. I have something to take care of, but I'll be right back. Get well soon Finn." And then Sam was gone.
"Seems like Kurt and Sam have some pretty important stuff to take care off." Dave said.
KHKHKHKHKHKHKHKHKH
Kurt closed his eyes and held his breath as he entered the unknown. He had only been there a few times, but this was different. As he walked across the floor something fell on his head.
"Jesus Finn, why would you leave your underwear hanging around?" Kurt asked himself. He opened the drawer to Finns dresser. The bottle of cream had to be there somewhere. Kurt was amazed that he didn't figure it out before.
Flashback
Kurt watched as Finn put the cream on his neck. He noticed that Finn seemed to have been very uncomfortable lately.
"Are you sure you should be putting that on your neck? I mean how do you know you're not allergic to it?" Kurt asked. Finn just smiled and continued applying the cream.
"Dude relax I'll be just fine. Besides it's for muscles and joints. So I'm good." Finn replied.
End of Flashback
Kurt wasn't having much luck.
"Where the hell could he have put that cream?" Kurt asked himself. After digging through most of Finn's stuff, he went and checked in the bathroom. He opened the medicine cabinet and began his search. After a thorough search he finally found the cream. It was almost empty! How much of that poison could be going through Finn!? As he read the inscription on the bottle, his phone vibrated. He looked down and frowned.
'Sort of gives you an empty feeling doesn't it. I sure hope Finn thinks so.'

Kurt quickly exited the bathroom and put the cream in his bag and left.
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Back in the hospital parking garage, a black tinted windowed SUV was rocking back and forth. The seats were let down so Sam could properly ride his clients cock. The client reached up and ran his hands down Sam's abs.
"Damn... White Chocolate, you really...guh..know how to move that body." The man grunted. Sam smiled and moved his hips faster.
"Lots of practice, dude." Sam smirked as he reached his peak and spilled all over the man's chest. The man held on to Sam's hips and his thrust two more times before filled the condom. He let out a deep sigh as Sam removed himself. They cleaned up and got dressed. Sam looked outside before exiting the truck.
"Here ya go, 500 bucks. Maybe I'll see you soon." The guy said. Sam smiled and took the money.
"I'll be looking forward to it." Sam said as he pulled the man in for a sloppy wet kiss. He pulled away and started walking to the entrance of the hospital. Sam wasn't a big fan of having sex with strangers. But it put food on the table for his family, so he did what he had to do. When he reached the door his phone beeped. Sam groaned and checked the message.
'Sooner or later the truth will come out. White Chocolate.'

The trip back to Finn's roon was a pain in the ass, literally.
KBKBKBKBKB
Kurt flew through the hospital to find Finn's doctor. When he did, he nearly ran him over. He took out the cream and handed it to the man.
"If what you say is true, shouldn't there be something in here?" Kurt asked. The doctor looked at the bottle and read the contents.
"Yeah it should. I'll get this to the lab." The blonde smiled. Kurt lifted his eyebrow as the man walked away. He really hoped that he wasn't flirting with him, because that would just be weird. Kurt had too much stuff on his plate. He couldn't deal with a boyfriend right now. He felt Blaine come up behind him and wrapped his arms around Kurt's middle. Kurt instantly shrugged him off.
"What are you doing?" Kurt asked. Blaine backed up. He thought that they were making progress. All the sex they've been having told him so. So what the hell was Kurt's deal?
"I-I thought we were making p-progress?" Blaine stuttered.
"When did I ever say that?"
"Well we've been having sex on the regular, so I thought that maybe you were considering it." Blaine said. Kurt rolled his eyes. When he did he felt dizzy for a moment, but continued his conversation.
"Blaine, you cheated on me. I don't want a relationship with you." Kurt said and sighed when Blaine looked dejected.
"So what, now I'm just a fuck buddy?" Blaine asked. Neither of them knew that they were being watched. Kurt pinched the bridge of his nose. He looked into Blaine's eyes.
"Blaine...you know you're not. I just...I'm confused right now. I have so much on my plate and with Finn being the hospital and this person stalking all of us and you cheating on me? I don't know what I am doing. I love you, but I don't ...I'm very confused okay? I'm sorry if you feel that I'm using you, but I'm not I promise." Kurt said. Blaine just looked at him and nodded his head.
"I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have blown up like that." Blaine said. Kurt smiled.
"It's okay, I uh, need to go talk to the doctor. I'll be right back." He said. Blaine watched him leave and then went to the cafeteria. Sebastian watched them the entire time. He went into the bathroom to call Eli.
SESESESESESESE
"What?" Eli answered groggily.
"Kurt and Blaine aren't together!" Seb squealed.
"Wait, what?" Eli asked.
"I saw them talking. Apparently they have been just fuck buddies. Kurt says that he's confused. But I believe that with the right push, we could split them up." Sebastian smirked.
"Ooh someone's becoming devious. I seemed to have rubbed off on you." Eli said. Sebastian rolled his eyes as if Eli was standing in front of him.
"Shut up. It seems that the doctor that Finn's with, well he seems smitten with Kurt." Seb said.
"No! Dude, I know I may be a bit maniacal, but setting him up with an old dude is illegal. They could get into some serious trouble."
"I don't care. I want Kurt back or to suffer. Or maybe I want Blaine to suffer. I don't know. I want revenge. And I don't want Kurt with Blaine. That cheating bastard hurt him in the first place." Seb said.
"Hey! Watch it! It was Kurt who caused Blaine to cheat." Eli snapped.
"Whatever, do you want Blaine or not?" Eli thought for a moment.
"Fine." Sebastian smiled and explained his plan.
FRFRFRFRFRFR
While everyone else was doing their own thing, Finn was left with his thoughts. He couldn't believe that they actually made a movie about a talking teddy bear. Puck had brought it in for him and he still couldn't stop laughing. Well, he could, when his stomach started hurting.
"Hey." Rachel said as she sat next to him and held his hand. Finn smiled and lay back down.
"Hi." He smiled his lopsided smiled.
"So what the doctor say?" she asked.
"That I have a hole in my stomach." Rachel's mouth dropped.
"A what? That's insane. How could you get an ulcer? My god, this could affect your scholarship chances." Then she gasps. "And you're singing for Regionals." See, that's what he loved about Rachel. Sure she was eccentric, self-absorbed, a bit of a prude…yeah he had no idea where he was going with that.
But he did know that he loved her with all his heart. And if things don't go well for him, at least he had her. And so he asked her a very important question as everyone else started to pile into the room.
"…maybe if we chose a less complicated song…"
"Will you marry me?" Rachel stopped talking and just like everyone else, she stared at him. She said yes…but Kurt said no.
