Chapter Fourteen: The One With the Warblers and Revenge

It had been a week. That's a long time to be locked in a house, where your only entertainment is watching the ceiling or reading the magazines that Nick brought for him to keep himself occupied. Sebastian has tried reasoning with the Warblers and ND, he's tried telling them that he wants to pay for what he's put Kurt through, but he's been punched in the face by Puckerman enough to know that he's not getting out of here by being his charming self. He's going to have to play by their rules, because he's in their game now... he still honestly doesn't know what Jesse and Karofsky have been doing to his Kurt. He always thought that the countertenor would just go to him, but he was always saying no, and the only time he complained about it to Jesse was the night before the attack. His boyfriend (ex, for all he knows, Jesse is the reason he's in this mess) had been acting weird, telling him that Kurt was busy and couldn't hang out with him. The boy had been perfectly fine until the attack, and the three of them went to jail. They only got out because Jesse promised to sleep with one of the guards... she was female...

Okay, so maybe Sebastian was deluded into thinking that Jesse was actually gay, and loved him all this time. maybe he's been brainwashed into making Kurt who he is now... he can't, however, be held responsible for all the things that happened to Kurt, only the school yard bashing is what he's being punished for. Although, by the looks of the Troubletones guys, he's not getting out of here any time soon... Nick had been bringing him food, and books and shit for him to study, and whatever, but he never said a word. Just placed the food tray down on the desk whilst Noah stood at the door, and then left, none of them even looking at Sebastian... the room was tiny, smaller than his old one at Dalton, and could probably fit in his bedroom three times over... Nick didn't seem fazed by it, of course, simply stating that it's what he deserves, and the cells are alot smaller in a jail. Sebastian didn't say anything in response, the last time he'd done that, Puckerman had punched him in the face, and left him on the floor, clutching his eye. He really wanted to talk to Kurt, but that was like asking to be killed... if he even mentioned Kurt or Blaine...

...

Kurt had been staying with Blaine at Cora and Frank's for the last week. He was back on medication, and therapy sessions. Blaine had to be really careful around his boyfriend as to not startle him, or send him back into his depression. Sebastian had been in the house for a week, with the Troubletones keeping Blaine updated on the status of the situation. Karofsky and Jesse had retreated, most like to the latter's house, as the police were now watching the St. James house. Santana and Quinn had helped the police to prove that Kurt had been held there during his attack, and for sometime before that. Once caught, the three of them would be going straight to jail. Karofsky had just turned eighteen, Jesse was on nineteen, and Sebastian would be eighteen by the end of the week. They're all going to fry for life, and the jail guard who had been seduced by Jesse was fired, and transferred to another state. Kurt and Blaine are currently curled up on the couch in each other's arms, watching TV with Chelsea, who is sitting with Britt and Santana in the arm chair. They have National's in a week, and Blaine has been talking with Dr. Paul and Kurt about it, and both think that's it's a good idea if Kurt attends... well, Kurt demanded that he go, so at least it means that he's in there somewhere, and still the same Kurt... even though he practically bashed Jesse and Karofsky's faces in, and broke down in front of half the Warblers, ND and Troubletones.

'Do you think you can beat the New Directions at National's?' Santana asked, softly

'We have three songs up our sleeves. One is sung by Kurt, one is a duet and our group number... if ND is planning anything, then they're not going to know what hit them. I thought they didn't have enough people?' Blaine asked, eyebrows scrunching in confusion

'Fuck them all. Who cares? I just want to see Rachel's face when we beat them and she finally realises that this fucked up world doesn't revolve around her...' Kurt replied, snuggling further into Blaine, as if to block himself off from the world.

'You'll beat them. They only just have enough people. We're going to support you the whole way... don't worry,' Santana replied, as Blaine placed a soft kiss on Kurt's cheek.

Had she been lying? No, Santana wouldn't do that to Kurt, or Blaine. She's not the same person she was six months ago. Kurt has been through alot, and the Troubletones have been right there with her... with them... she's going to do everything in her power to make sure that the New Directions understand that they can't just use people, and they can't just do something, and expect people to forgive, or fall at their feet. Puck and Sam have been "babysitting" Sebastian, whilst the rest of the Warblers prepare for National's, and the other members of Troubletones, try to track down Karofsky and Jesse. They're not supposed to be hard to find... one is a fat football player, and the other one, looks like Mr. Schuester when he was seventeen, and didn't know what the latest fashions were. Blaine hasn't told Kurt about Sebastian being held, or the fact that Karofsky and Jesse are missing. He doesn't want to alarm his boyfriend anymore than he already is... again. Dr. Paul has been over to see Kurt, and put him back on his anti-depressants, but they're not doing their job, either that, or Kurt has been lying to Blaine about taking them... not that he would do that... Brittany is braiding Chelsea's hair, smiling cheerfully as Santana runs her fingers through her own hair, humming a tune softly into Britt's ear. It's the most normal the four have been in a while, so it's nice for them to be able to just sit, relax, and not have to worry about the things that threaten to tear them all apart.

...

It's enough that they're together... it really is. Sometimes, it's not enough to just be there... sometimes, you have to actually be the person who catches you when you fall. Kurt knows that Blaine would do anything for him; he knows that his friends would do anything for him, and maybe that's going to be the thing that will get him through. Maybe, in amongst all the bad in his life, the people he can trust and rely on, aren't his parents, or teacher, or ND... maybe those people are the Warblers, and the Troubletones... maybe he's doing better than people are telling him he is, because he can smile, and laugh, and joke around with the Warblers and Troubletones... he lets Santana and Brittany hold his hands, and link their arms together, and touch him without flinching... yet, when it comes to all other things, like talking to his father, and making sense of a bad situation, or even understanding how Blaine could love someone like him, he's a complete mess. It doesn't matter that he has depression and is taking medication; he still feels that everything good he has now, has come from luck, not from anything else. Finn hasn't been in touch with him since the incident, and he doesn't blame his step-brother. Their relationship was built on the foundations of a bridge about to collapse into the darkness... that's what their relationship was built on, long before their parents even met... yet, right now, Kurt just wants to have Finn here with them... to tell him that he's sorry, and that he's dumping Rachel and he's going to stop acting like she's the whole world... he knows it won't happen, but his therapist says it's better to dream, and pretend, than to have your hopes dashed, and sink back into the black hole...

Nick and Jeff were talking outside the door, he could hear them. Maybe, if he asked, he'd be able to find out where Jesse is, and get out of here... of course, there are six people out there, and not one of them, likes him, or wants anything to do with him... they're all on Kurt and Blaine's side... if only Kurt had realised that I could do so much more for him than Blaine, none of this would have happened... Sebastian thought, pacing the small room he was confined to. granted, he'd been given a TV, and some DVD's, to entertain himself, but other than that, the room was void of all the normal household items... the bed had begun to hurt his back, and the floor isn't any better... Nick had brought him a pillow from Dalton, and a couple more blankets, not wanting him to "die from frostbite before they're done with him". he still hasn't figured out what that means... the police have been called, he heard that through the crack in the door... he also knows that Jesse and Karofsky have skipped town, leaving him here to fend for himself... worse yet, it's his birthday at the end of the week, and he'll be eighteen... that means jail time...

'I want to talk to Kurt,' he chanced through the door, hoping Nick would open it... much to his dismay; it was Puck and Sam who entered the room

'I don't think you want to talk to Kurt, I think you want to have him here, so then your scumbag of a boyfriend can rape him again, whilst Karofsky beats the shit out of Blaine...'

'I don't know what you're talking about... Jesse wouldn't do that to Kurt... he wouldn't... I know him... I...'

'You don't know him... haven't you watched any of these? One of them, is Jesse's confession, and the other, is Karofsky's... we have copies, so you can destroy them if you like... you're not talking to Kurt... ever... got it Smythe?' Puck said, pulling Sam out of the room, and locking the door.

Cora and Frank had been filled in on what was happening, and had tried to convince Kurt to call his father and let him know to, but he'd flat out refused, and Blaine wasn't going to push him to talk to Burt, considering he was part of the reason Kurt is the way the he is now... Santana had been to see Burt a few days ago, but it was only to get the last of Kurt's things and to tell him that Kurt wouldn't be returning home after graduation, and that if Finn or Carole wanted to contact him, they could do it through Blaine... who probably wouldn't answer the phone anyway... which meant that he'd rather not talk to them... Carole had been almost shocked to see Santana was the one getting Kurt's things, and not Blaine, which is who she had assumed would be getting them... Santana just smirked, and followed the woman upstairs to Kurt's old bedroom, which was practically empty of all things, except for the furniture...

Dalton had been quite happy to send the bill for schooling fees to Burt's house, knowing Kurt's situation and all that, they had been a little hesitant, but surprisingly to Blaine and Kurt, the bills had been paid by Burt, not another word said on the subject. Finn had stopped attending Friday night dinners after he'd found out about it, knowing that Kurt doesn't deserve to be brought... he doesn't deserve anything that's happened to him, but for some reason, has... Needless to say, when Finn Hudson walked through the front door of the Hudmel house after being gone for almost a week, his mother pounced on him like a tiger onto his prey. He wasn't in the mood to answer questions... he wanted to find Jesse and Karofsky, and he wanted to make them pay for what they did to Kurt... he saw how his step-brother reacted to them... he knows what went down... if he can get Puck and Sam on his side, as well as some of the Warblers, maybe his revenge plan will work... then again, he could just go straight to Sebastian and ask him where Jesse is hiding out... it would be so much easier than going and begging Santana to locate them using her contacts at the Lima Police Department... Easier said than done... Santana hasn't spoken to him since the whole therapy debacle, and he's pretty sure Puckerman and Sam are out for his blood too... Finn thought, as he shrugged his mother off, and managed to get to his room before his step-father started questioning him as well. If he had to get his head bitten off, and jump into a pit of snakes to prove to his brother that he loves him and is always going to be there for him... then he'll do it... starting with the Warblers...

To: Wes Montgomery

Need ur help. Bring the Warblers... I'm going to kick some butt, and I need Sebastian to spill, so I suggest, if you want to throw some punches, you bring a change of clothes...

From: Finn Hudson-Hummel

The message had sent just as Finn began throwing things onto his bed, and picking up a duffle bag which would hold it all. He was going to go to Cora and Franks first, try and talk to Kurt and Blaine, and maybe Santana, before trying to mend fences with the others... sure, maybe it's not going to be enough... but if it gets his relationship with Kurt and Blaine back on the right track... then it's for the best... Finn's phone chimed with a message, just as his mother knocked on the door, demanding to be let in...

To: Finn Hudson-Hummel

If you think we're going to help you after what you did to Kurt... then your mind is fucked up. However, because we all love Kurt and Blaine, and Elijah and Emmanuel are driving us insane... we're going to give you the benefit of the doubt. We will meet you at Cora and Franks in two hours... just remember how this all started Finn...

From: Wes Montgomery

Finn smiled at the message, kicking his bag into the closet before opening the door, and letting his mother into the room. She took one look around, and sat down, bursting into tears and clutching onto Finn for dear life. He didn't hear the doorbell ring, until Burt appeared in the doorway, calling Carole downstairs... Finn followed, leaving his bag at the foot of the stairs, to make a quick escape when the time was right... only it wouldn't be, because Cora and Frank are in the lounge right now... and they're talking to Burt... this isn't going to end well... not for anyone... Finn took that moment to make his escape... not bothering to be quiet about it... by the time his parents realise, he'll be in Westerville, and they won't be able to contact him...

To: Finn Hudson-Hummel

I don't know if you're getting these messages Finn, but I need you to hear this... I don't blame you... I forgive you, and I want my brother back... please call me...

From: Kurt Hummel

Kurt was in the middle of preparing dinner when the doorbell rang. Blaine was asleep, and Santana and Brittany had gone home to change. He was pretty much alone in the house, seeing as Frank and Cora said they had a meeting they were attending, and they wouldn't be home till late. The baseball bat by the door was Blaine's idea... not that Kurt would ever use it, he'd rather punch someone in the face... alot has changed about him... the person on the other side of the door had knocked about six times when Kurt arrived, opening the door to reveal his step-brother, standing awkwardly on the porch, bag slung over his shoulder... Kurt unlocked the screen door, and led Finn in to the lounge, crossing his arms, giving himself that little extra protection from whatever was to happen next.

'I'm sorry I didn't come earlier. I have been getting your texts, I just... needed some time... I'm going to make this right though... I'm going to see Sebastian and ask him about the other two, and then I'm going to make sure they're put in jail, and never allowed out again...'

'What do you mean 'see' Sebastian? How do you know where he is?' Kurt asked, scrunching his eyebrows in confusion... last he'd heard, or been told, Sebastian was in holding, awaiting arrest

'Puck and the others have him in a safe house until the hearing. I'm going to go there and find out where the others are... bring them back to the house, and call the cops...'

'I forgive you Finn. Do whatever you need to make yourself feel better, but just know that okay? I have to finish dinner, Sanny and Britt will be here soon. Text me when you're... whatever...' Kurt replied, showing Finn out, before closing the door, locking it, and sinking down to the floor... letting the lie wash through him... he'd be talking to Blaine later... but right now... he's not going to worry about any of them... he can't... it's too hard...

...

Blaine had woken up just as Santana and Brittany arrived back at the house. Kurt wasn't talking much to any of them, figuring his boyfriend was just tired, Blaine dropped the subject. He's trying to give Kurt a little space, so he can remember what independence is like, but whether or not it's working... that's another story... Brittany and Santana were talking with each other, keeping their glances over at Blaine to a minimum, but the boy still knew they were talking about him... he doesn't know why... maybe it has something to do with the person that stopped by earlier, assuming that it was Puckerman or Sam or someone, coming to check on Kurt, make sure he's alright... he wasn't expecting to see the text from Wes on his phone as they all sat down to eat

To: Blaine Anderson

Finn has this crazy plan. He told Kurt about Sebastian... I'm sorry, we didn't know until he told us. We're heading out to the house now... I'll let you know if Puck kills him... lol.

From: Wes Montgomery

Blaine sighed, suddenly realising why Kurt wasn't talking to him... he didn't reply, instead putting his phone back into his pocket, and pushing it away... in a week's time, they'll be at Nationals, and they won't have to worry about this anymore... they won't have to deal with all of this shit... it's coming to an end... and Blaine's happy about that... if only Finn wasn't going to be a dick and fuck everything they've worked for up...

Finn was the first one out of the car, quickly followed by Wes and David. He didn't care that Puckerman was on the other side of that door... he didn't care that he could get arrested for assault and conspiracy to kidnap... all he cares about is Kurt... and if this gets him his brother back, then so be it... Puck hadn't even time to react when the front door opened, and Finn stormed in, taking the stairs two at a time, and rapping on the locked door so hard, anyone thought it would fall off under the giants touch... Nick had stepped back, handing Finn the key, and raising his hands, before looking to Wes, who simply shrugged, and rolled his eyes... Finn had been like this for a week now, and if this was going to do anything, it would bring back the real Finn Hudson... or completely destroy all innocence he has left... Sebastian's eyes widened as he was pushed against the wall, Finn's right hand holding him there, whilst his left curled into a fist, waiting to strike. Nick had to admit, he was impressed by the jocks willingness to just get straight to it, but then he remembered that they still need Sebastian, and called Finn to get off the boy...

'Tell me where your boy toys are, and I'll let you go without choking you to death... which is what you deserve,' Finn said

'I want a deal... you let me talk to Kurt, and I'll tell you where Jesse and Dave are... that's all I'm saying...' Sebastian replied, not anticipating the punch to the face from Finn

'Wrong answer... I'm not letting you anywhere near my brother... now I can get Puck and we can do this the hard way, or, you can make this so much easier for all of us, and spill,' Finn said, not bothering to care that Wes was calling his name

'I'm not telling you anything about it, until I talk to Kurt. I want to hear the truth from his mouth before I hand them in...'

'Are you really going to get Blaine to bring Kurt out here?' Nick asked, looking at Wes who was talking with Quinn and Puck

'I don't know... Finn, can we talk to you out here... he'll still be here when you come back...' Wes said, making sure Nick locked the door before following Finn back to the lounge...

'You can't bring Kurt out here... it will literally break him... I saw him; he's only just holding it together...'

'Finn, we've been trying to get information out of him for a week. There are twenty of us here with Kurt... he's not going to be alone... none of us want to do this, and I'm sure Blaine will say the same thing... we need to find them... no location, no arrest...' Quinn said, softly

'There has to be another way to get information out of him... I don't want my brother brought into this...'

'Finn, we're all in this, or we're not. You have to make a choice... in, or out?' Puck asked...

A/N: Hope you guys like, and all that stuff. What will Finn choose? Also coming up... the reason that Kurt and Rachel aren't friends in the future, National's, the court case/arrest and we see Kurt's entrance at Finchel's wedding in the future... just something to look forward to in the next few chapters...
