Puck really had no clue as to where he was running. He was just fleeing. He wanted to run away from all his pain. He just needed to escape from this hell that was his life. He hadn't even realized he was outside until he was crashing into someone and was falling to the ground.
"Hey watch where you're going! What are you blind?" an angry looking Kurt shouted at Puck.
Puck immediately got to his feet and took off running again. He couldn't even really hear Kurt over the sound of his pounding heartbeat. Puck felt as if his heart was trying to explode out of his chest.
"What the hell?" Artie said looking at Kurt who was now helping his boyfriend Blaine up off the ground having been run over by Puck.
The three had been walking through the park trying to get some fresh air when Puck had crashed into Blaine.
As soon as Blaine was up Kurt took off running after Puck bound and determined to make him apologize to Blaine. Kurt being one of the fastest glee club members was finally able to catch up alongside Puck after a few minutes. Artie and Blaine were left behind in the dust of it all.
"Puck slow down! What is wrong with you?" Kurt shouted at the other teen trying to keep pace with him.
Puck did nothing to respond just kept running father into the park now off the concrete path. He had a deer caught in the headlights look plastered across his face.
"Hey come on stop! If you haven't noticed you just mowed down my boyfriend back there! What is going on Puck?" Kurt shouted at the teen again.
This time Kurt reached out his hand barely touching Puck's shoulder in an attempt to get Puck to stop running away from him.
Puck let out a blood curdling scream as he fell to the ground curling into a ball trying to escape anymore unwanted touches that may be fall him. His whole body began to shake as scream after scream ripped through his broken body. Puck began to throw his fists into the ground, punching wildly trying to release his anger, sadness, and frustration.
Kurt was taken aback by Puck's sudden drop to the ground and the screams that were raking through the other teen's body. Puck's whole body was now shaking from the loud screams that were tearing from his body. Kurt was actually frightened for a moment at seeing one of his friends in such a state.
"Puck?" Kurt asked softly.
Receiving no response from Puck, Kurt slowly kneeled down next to the teen as if approaching an injured animal. Kurt brought his hand to Puck's back in a motion to sooth, but froze as soon as he saw Puck flinching at the action. After a few minutes Kurt slowly returned his hand back to Puck's back and began rubbing calming circles into the teen. Kurt was attempting to get Puck to calm down so he would talk to him.
At first Puck's screams got louder, but after a while his screams died down and were replaced with low sobbing. His hands slowly stopping there smack down on the earth returned to his sides and clutched at his chest. It was almost as if he was trying to hug himself. He began to rock back and forth.
"Shhh… It's okay. You're okay. It's going to be alright. Shh." Kurt whispered softly to Puck.
Kurt had never in his life seen someone so distraught, so frightened before. Not even had his own father reacted this badly when his mother had passed. To see Noah Puckerman reacting like this was just unsettling. Puck was the badass of the group, Kurt would have never dreamed to see him acting like this. Kurt knew something really bad must have happened to knock the jock down so hard.
As Kurt continued to rub Puck's back he realized the teen wasn't wearing anything but a pair of shorts. The shorts were even on inside out. Puck wasn't even wearing any shoes. What the hell had happened? Kurt wondered. It was then that Kurt noticed Puck's back was covered in bruises, scares and what looked to little burn marks. Puck's whole back was littered with the marks, the burn marks looking fresh.
Seeing those marks Kurt couldn't stand it any longer. He grabbed a hold of Puck and forced him into a full-fledged hug. At first Puck tensed at the action, and then slowly relaxed into the hug burring his head into Kurt's chest. He latched on to Kurt's shit clinging on for dear life. Soon the body shaking sobs stopped as silent tears rolled down Puck's face.
"Hey there, see its okay. Think you're up for some talking now?" Kurt said hesitantly noticing Puck had stopped trembling.
Puck shook his head slowly refusing to leave the comfort Kurt's arms offered. Kurt just hugged Puck tighter in response. Puck just looked so broken to him.
Blaine slowly started to approach the two. Blaine and Artie had finally caught up to the two a few minutes ago and seeing the intimate state they were in didn't want to intrude. After watching for a bit though Blaine could see Puck was physically hurt and that they should probably get him to a doctor.
"Puck, hey I know you don't want to talk and all but I think maybe we should take you to the doctors." Blaine said as soothingly as he could not wanting to spook Puck.
Puck fiercely shook his head into Kurt's chest not wanting to go back to the doctors so soon. His grip tightened on Kurt's shirt.
"Okay no doctor then. Do you want us to take you home instead?" Kurt asked gently.
Puck stated to shake uncontrollably at the mention of going home. More tears rushed down his face. He looked up at Kurt his eyes begging him to understand how afraid he was.
"P-Please." Was all Puck could manage to get out before the sobbing returned. He buried his head further into Kurt's chest trying to escape.
Kurt started rubbing Pucks back again trying to calm him.
"Shh it's okay. If you don't want to go home you don't have to. How bout we go to my house instead? I'm sure Finn's got some warmer clothes you can borrow. Then when you're ready we can talk okay." Kurt said to Puck calmly.
Puck slowly shook his head in agreement. Before letting go of Kurt and trying to stand up. He almost fell right back down though as his legs were so wobbly. Luckily Blaine was there to steady him. Kurt and Blaine helped Puck walk back to Kurt's car Artie following after them.
