You'll never know chapter 7
It was Sunday evening. Ally got home a bit after noon and just unpacked and went to sleep for a little bit. When she woke up, she had supper with her parents and told them about her weekend. When she got back to her room, she logged on facebook, tumblr, twitter and gmail, to check what she had missed during her bonding trip. She didn't miss anything at tumblr and twitter, had a few unimportant mails and then she checked her FB and saw about 5 new friend requests. It was from Cedes, Tina, Mike, Matt and Rachel. Girl smiled and accepted everyone. She already had Kurt, because he knew her full name before everyone else. After doing her homework, girl was about to turn off her computer, when she saw, that she was tagged in a few photos. Ally quickly scanned through them and called her parents to show her new friends. Her mom said that Finn was cute; dad made fun of Puck's hair and pointed Rachel saying that she must be the same height as Ally. Girl just smiled and told a little bit about everyone. After that, her night was uneventful.
This week was the first football game of the season. Ally was a bit nervous, but did all the routines perfectly. She also cheered on her team like a pro and agreed to go to the party on Friday night Azimio was throwing in order to celebrate their winning. Now it was Wednesday, first break and they all were sitting in the choir room, girl didn't know what was so important that it couldn't wait for their actual practice, so she was just sitting next to Kurt and chatting how his dad wanted him to have dinner on Friday night. Suddenly Finn rose from his seat and started:
-Mr. Schue, I have something to say, - he stood in front of the class. - Something happened to me, and I can't really get into it, but it's shaking me to my core.
-Oh my God, he's coming out, - Puck joked and Ally tried really hard not to laugh.
-Well yeas, - Finn said and everyone's jaws dropped, - here is a man who's sort of recently come into my life, and that man is Jesus Christ.
Everyone looked shocked, but Rachel's face was the worst.
-That's way worse, - Puck said now sounding serious but received just Wills skeptical look.
-And I know there's other in here who dig him to, - Finn continued earning a smile from Quinn and an eye roll from Artie. – So I thought that maybe this week we could pay tribute to him. In music, - he received a few more wtf looks, - you know pay tribute to Jesus.
-Sorry,- Kurt started, - but if I wanted to sing about Jesus I would go to church and the reason I don't go is because most churches don't think very much of gay people or women, or science, - he said receiving a nod from Ally.
-I don't see anything wrong with getting a little bit churched up in here, - Mercedes disagreed smiling.
-I agree, - Quinn added, - I had a really hard year and I turned to God a lot for help. I for one wouldn't mind saying thanks.
-Thanks for what, - Santana bitted out, - that it didn't come out a lizard baby?
She didn't noticed how Puck wined at reminder of his daughter, but Ally did.
-Whenever I pray I fall asleep, - Brit said.
-Well, guys, maybe our song selection doesn't have to be about Jesus, - Mr. Schue interrupted. – We could do song about spirituality.
Puck rolled his eyes.
-You got a problem with Jesus, - Finn shouted to him.
-Oh, I got no problem with the guy, - Puck answered. - I'm a total Jew for Jesus. He's my number one Heb., - at this he received a few WTF looks. - What I don't like seeing is people using J-Money to cramp everyone else's style 'cause it seems to me that true spirituality or whatever you want to call it is about enjoying the life that you've been given. I mean, I see God every time I make out with a new chick.
-Okay, - Rachel had enough, - okay that doesn't make any sense, - Ally was enjoying this whole thing too much, - in fact it's stupid, - Rachel looked at him.
-Are you calling Mr. Billy Joel stupid?- Puck said in a very calm voice, -this time I'd like to continue my streak, - he stood up, - of doing only songs by Jewish artists, - took his guitar sand started, - Hit it.
Brad started playing the piano and Ally smiled, this was interesting.
Come out Virginia, Don't let me wait.
(Ally started dancing in the chair)
You Catholic girls start much too late.
Oh but sooner or later it comes down to fate
I might as well be the one
(Soon after the girl, everyone joined in and started dancing in their chairs except for Kurt, so Ally just nudged his shoulder, he smiled weakly, so the girl continued on her own)
Well, they showed you a statue, told you to pray.
They built you a temple and locked you away.
Oh, but they never told you the price that you pay
For things that you might have done...
Only the good die young
(He ran to Ally and stopped in front of her)
You got a nice white dress and a party on your confirmation
(Girl just laughed and as he turned around to jump away, Ally just put her hand on his shoulder and followed him to the front of class and danced next to him)
You got a brand new soul
Ooh, And a cross of gold
(Soon almost everyone joined them)
Come out come out come out
Virgina don't let me wait
You Catholic girls start much too late
Sooner or later it comes down to fate
I might as well be the one,
You know that only the good die young (this part they sang all together)
I'm telling you baby
They finished all laughing, Matt and Ally even hugged which didn't go unnoticed by Puck. Then Ally saw that Kurt was just sitting on the chair and texting.
-Oh come on it wasn't bad, - she said coming to him.
-No, - he said and raised his eyes, - but I'm not in the mood.
Ally pouted which received a smile from her friend. Bell rang and they went to their next class (Ally had English and he had Biology).
It was French lesson now, Kurt and Ally had it together and they were assigned to talk in pairs about what they are planning to do today. Ally was sitting behind Kurt and Azimio, speaking to Ana (girl from the volleyball team) and trying really hard not to laugh from Az "WTF are you saying" expression, when suddenly Miss Pillsbury ran into class almost unnoticed and Mr. Schue was standing in the door. Ally felt like her heart just dropped to her heels. Something was wrong.
-Mr. Schue, - girl quickly shot to her feet.
Kurt was called before girl got her answer and when the three of them walked out of the class to talk, Ally quickly followed not listening to her French teachers' protests. Girl heard the news and quickly ran to class and picked hers and Kurt's stuff.
-Ally you're not going, - Schuester protested.-You're staying in class.
-No, - she stood her ground, - I need to be there, please, - she begged and teacher gave in, informed their French teacher and all four of them went to the hospital.
Kurt was just standing there. Miss Pillsbury and Mr. Schue sat behind him and Ally just didn't know what to do. She stood up and went to her friend. Girl put her hand on Kurts' shoulder but he just shrugged it off.
-Kurt, please, - was all she said, she needed to do something, to comfort him.
Boy looked at her and let her hug him. Somehow it helped him a little bit so he just tightened his grip. Ally sighed in relief. Finally the doctor came and Ally released the boy, who quickly asked:
-Where is he? Is he dead?
-No, he's alive, - the doctor told and you could feel everybody relaxing a bit.-But I'm sorry, I don't have any other good news.
-I wanna see him, - Kurt quickly started walking, but was stopped.
-He hasn't regained conciseness yet.
-I thought he had a heart attack, - Mr. Schue said.
-Brought on by an arrhythmia, which caused a lack of blood to his brain. That's what made him lose consciousness and what's keeping him comatose. We have him on lidocaine, but there's no guarantees they're going to work or what kind of damage was done to his brain by the lack of oxygen, - the doctor said without being interrupted
-I don't understand what you're saying. When is he going to wake up?-Kurt spoke and Ally was quickly by his side, holding his hand.
-I don't know.
-Okay, just-just… just take us to him now, please, - Mr. Scue asked and doctor led the way.
They entered Burt's ward and stood there while Kurt walked to his dad.
-I need a minute, - he said after a bit.
Ally looked to him and then to the adults.
-I don't think you should be alone, Kurt, - Miss Pillsbury spoke.
-Yeah, - Ally started but was cut off.
-Please just give me a moment alone with my father.
Adult looked to each other, while Ally stared and Kurt's back.
-We'll be right outside, - Mr. Schue said, supportingly squeezing Kurt's shoulder.
Ally was about to protest, but teacher just guided her out to the waiting room. She didn't hear what doctor said to the guidance counselor, she just went to the nearest seat and sat. It was like she zoned out. She didn't hear adults talking nor did she saw how they came to her until her Spanish teacher squatted in front of her and touched her knee.
-Ally, maybe you should get back to school.
-No, - she said quietly, - no, - she said again, but now it was almost a shout, - Kurt's all alone, his dad is here I can't leave him.
-Will, - Miss Pillsbury touched his shoulder, - let the girl stay, I'll inform Figgins about the situation, - when she received a nod she continued, - Alice, how about you call your parents before Kurt comes out.
Girl just nodded and stood up, searching for her phone in her purse. She tried calling her mom, but it went straight to the voicemail, then she tried dad and after a few ring he answered.
-Hello.
-Hi, dad, - girl spoke in a shaky voice.
-Ally, baby what's wrong, are you okay?
-Yeah, - she breathed out, - I'm fine, - she tried to control herself. - Kurt's father had a heart attack and now is in the hospital and Kurt is all alone, - her voice started to shake, - he has nobody to be with him, - she took a deep breath, - me, Mr. Schue and Miss Pillsbury are here for him.
-Kurt, that's the gay boy you rage good friends with.
-Yes, - her voice was very small.
-Okay, how's his father doing?
-His unconscious and doctors don't know when he's going to wake up, but he's still alive, - oh, dad, what if he doesn't make it, Kurt's alone, he already lost his mom, he can't loose his fater too.
-If doctors are saying that he will wake up than he will wake up, - there as a bit of silence, - is there anything I can help?
-No, I… I just don't know what to do…
-Be there for him, okay? Be strong. Does your mother know?
-No, she didn't answer her phone.
-Oh, she's probably at meeting, I'll tell her later. You can stay the night with Kurt is you want.
-Thanks dad, I have to go, I think I see Burt's doctor coming.
-Okay, bye, but if you need anything call me.
-Yeah, okay dad, thanks.
And girl was right Mr. Hummel's doctor was coming, he said that they needed to do some kind of test so Kurt had to leave. Ally came and gave her friend one more tight hug. The four of them stayed at the hospital until 7 pm when the nurse came and said it was past visiting hours.
-I want to stay, - Kurt announced, but the nurse said than he can't because ke's underaged.
-Besides, Kurt, you have to sleep, you can visit your father first thing in the morning, - Miss Pillsbury said.
-Yeah, Kurt, I'll be at your door 6:30 to drive you here, - Mr. Schue added.
-Is there anyone you can stay with? – Guidance counselor asked.
-No.
-I'll stay with him, - Ally quickly said.
-Ally you have school tomorrow, - Mr. Schue protested.
-No, it's okay, my parents said I could.
-Ally, I can't ask you for that, - Kurt protested too.
-Do you really think you want to be alone tonight?
Boy was silence.
-That's what I thought, it's okay, let's go, - Ally said, hugging Kurt and guiding him to Mr. Schue's car.
Teacher drove them to Kurt's home; made sure they were safe and drove home. Kurt walked into the living room and sat on the couch. Girl just looked at him and quickly sat besides hugging him. Boy leaned into the girl and started crying.
-Shh, - Ally tried to calm him, - everything's going to be okay, your dad is a tough guy, he won't give up without a fight.
Boy sobbed quietly for God know how long and Ally didn't care she just wanted for everything to be okay. After an hour or so, Kurt was asleep on Ally's lap, hugging her by her wais and girls head was on her shoulder. What how they spent the night: both tired that's why so fast at sleep and both sad, hugging each other.
