Kurt was startled out of his own world by someone placing their arm on his shoulder. Kurt let the pair of shorts tumble to the ground as he looked up to see Finn staring down at him.
"Couldn't you hear Blaine calling for you?" Finn said looking a bit concerned.
Kurt looked as if he had been crying or was on the verge of starting to.
Kurt let out a small gasp of air, trying to regain some of his composure. He just wasn't sure how he was supposed to handle this, if he could handle this. For that matter how was Noah handling this, not very well from what he had observed earlier today?
"Oh…. Where is he?" Kurt shakily asked.
"Blaine is still outside with Artie. They said there's something you need to see. Before you go back out though you mind explaining what the hell is going on here? What the fuck happened to Puck he looks worse than he did yesterday." Finn yelled getting infuriated by the whole situation.
Kurt quickly debated if he should say anything to Finn, if Noah would want him to say anything. Kurt's mind automatically went to one of the brochures on 's desk, the one about rape victims. Kurt had glanced over several of the pamphlets before out of curiosity. He could clearly remember reading that rape victims needed to come out in their own time and meanwhile families and friends needed to be supportive of them.
He couldn't tell Finn what he had just discovered it would be invading Noah's personal life. He would just have to be there and support Noah as best as he could without telling anyone. Until Noah decided to say something Kurt would keep his mouth shut. Besides a part of Kurt hoped none of this was true. That the red stain on the shorts was just ketchup or something.
"Finn listen I can't explain everything right now. You're just going to have to bear with me here. I don't even have all the facts myself yet, and yelling at me isn't going to help anyone. All I know is that Noah is hurt and in some sort of trouble. That all we can do right now is be here for him and listen to anything he has to say with an open mind." Kurt stated his peace then stormed out of the house to find Blaine and Artie.
Finn was pretty much stunned into silence. He had no clue how react to what Kurt had just said to him. Up until Kurt's little rant Finn had been under the assumption that Puck had just gotten into another fight. Finn even thought maybe Puck had been trying to defend Kurt or something. Now though with what Kurt had said made him think otherwise. It sounded as if it was more than that.
Finn looked down to the floor trying to gather his thoughts when the abandoned shorts caught his eye. Finn bent down picking them up. He noticed the damp spot that was turning his fingers red. All the color soon left his face and he fell to his knees. A ton of scenarios began to run through his mind of what might have happened to Puck.
Outside Kurt was staring down at the back seat of his car. His hands were clenched into fists at the sight of the puddle of blood that had been left there.
"We need to take him to the hospital now. This is so much more serious than a few cuts and bruises." Artie said still in shock of what he and Blaine had discovered in the back seat while trying to remove his wheelchair.
"This is so bad; his shorts were soaked in blood too. I just didn't want to believe it was this severe. You saw how freaked he was though. I don't know if will be able to convince him to go." Kurt said shaking his head in disbelief over the whole situation while trying to hold back tears.
Blaine reached his arm out towards Kurt and embraced him in a hug rubbing soothing circles in his back.
"I know forcing him probably isn't the best thing for his psyche, but he could really die from blood loss here." Blaine reasoned to Kurt.
"Let's just try to talk to him first. If he refuses will have no other choice, but I really hope it doesn't come to that." Kurt said sounding resigned.
The other two agreed and they all went back into the house.
As they began to walk down the hallway towards the bathroom they saw Finn slumped against the wall clutching on to a pair of shorts.
Finn looked up at the three, and then held up the offending shorts to Kurt. Finn stood up all emotions erased off his face.
"We got to get him some help." Finn whispered to the other three shaking his head.
Puck stepped out of the shower letting out a deep breath. The pain he was starting to become unbearable. All Puck wanted to do was curl into a ball and sleep for an eternity.
Puck slowly pulled on the clothes Kurt had laid out for him while avoiding looking at himself in the mirror. He just couldn't stand to see the stare of the pathetic loser that would be looking back at him. As soon as he was dressed he stepped out into the hallway limping towards the others.
"Noah…" Kurt said looking saddened by the appearance of Puck.
Puck was about to say something to the others when the room started to spin. His vision went blurry then everything went completely black. He could hear people screaming his name. No matter how hard he tried though he couldn't answer back. The pain seemed to dissipate and soon he could feel nothing.
His last thought before he lost conscious was how finally in death he wouldn't have to feel any more pain. That fact alone put a smile on his face.
