Chapter 8
The next morning they woke up from the sun coming out the window.
-What time is it? - Kurt asked stretching and sitting up.
-Fine thirty, - girl answered checking her phone. –Mr. Schue will be here in an hour, go take a quick shower I'll make some breakfast.
After they ate and got ready, Ally texted her parents and Mr. Schue drove them to see Burt. Kurt was allowed to see him only for an hour then he was told that doctor have to run some more tests and that he won't be able to see his father until 4 pm, so the teacher drove kids to school. Kurt didn't want to see anyone so they stayed in the choir room till the classes started.
Ally didn't have classes with Kurt today, but she spent all her breaks with him, usually just sitting in the library or in the choir room. Girl first two lessons had Math, but Puck wasn't there and third was English, but Q and Tana didn't talk too much to her so they didn't ask either, but then when Ally and Kurt were at the choir room during lunch, glee club started coming in. Ally quickly sat behind Kurt. First Tina came and gave him a hug. Quinn, Matt and Mike just patted his shoulders. Then Santana and Brit came:
-Hey, Kurt, - Tana spoke, - we're really sorry for your dad's heart attack.
-Thanks, Santana.
-I did a book report on heart attacks, if you want to give it to the doctor, - Brit spoke giving Kurt some colorful papers. - I got knocked down an entire letter grade 'cause it was written in crayon.
Suddenly Finn marched in the room and Ally quickly stood in a protecting pose.
-What the hell happened?
-My dad's in the hospital, - Kurt numbly said.
-I know, - Finn almost shouted, - My mom just called me. I feel like I'm the last one to know!
Ally was about to push him away, but Kurt replayed:
-Well, I'm sorry, Finn. It didn't occur to me to call you, because he's not your father.
-Yeah, well, he's the closest I'm ever going to get, okay? - Finn shouted and Ally almost jumped at him, but someone stopped her by grabbing her by the waist. - I know it may not look like what everybody else has, but I thought we were… sort of a family, -Kurt just shook his head and sat. Boy finally calmed down. - Look, I-I guess I just… I didn't like overhearing other people talking about it in gym class.
Kurt looked at him and let him sit next to himself. Ally relaxed a bit and was released. She looked up and saw Matt.
-Sorry, - she mouthed and he just smiled and got back to his seat behind her.
-Hey, guys, - Mr. Schue came, - our thoughts are all with Kurt, and, uh, -Finn tried to pat Kurt's shoulder but he wouldn't let, - I know it's sort of hard to really focus on anything else…- suddenly Mercedes spoke.
-Mr. Schue
- Yeah.
-I've been struggling, trying to figure out what I wanted to say to Kurt all day, and I realize I don't want to say it, I want to sing it, - teacher gestured her to come in front of everyone, - This song is about being in a very dark place, and turning to God, - she gave the sheet papers to Brad. - It's a spiritual song, Mr. Schue. Is that okay?
-It's fine.
- Tina, Quinn, can you help me out, please? - Girls stood behind Cedes and they started to sing.
Ally quickly took Quinn's palace next to Kurt and took his hand. He just smiled at her and squeezed her hand but didn't let go. By the end of the song, Kurt was crying and squeezing Ally's hand hardy, girl was stroking his back, trying to help him somehow. After the last note faded away, everyone clapped.
-Thank you, Mercedes, - Kurt sighed and girls got back to their seats, Q taking Ally's, - your voice is stunning, but… I don't believe in God.
-Wait, what? –Tina asked.
-You've all professed your beliefs. I'm just stating mine. I think God is kind of like Santa Claus for adults, - he said looking ant Q, Ally just squeezed his hand supporting him.- Otherwise, God's kind of a jerk, - now he said it a bit angrily, - isn't he? I mean, he makes me gay and then has his followers going around telling me it's something that I chose. As if someone would choose to be mocked every single day of their life, - he said and you could see different expressions on everyone's faces. - And right now I don't want a heavenly father. I want my real one back.
-But Kurt, how do you know for sure? – Mercedes asked. - I mean, you can't prove that there's no God.
-You can't prove that, - he now was fuming, - there isn't a magic teapot floating around on the dark side of the moon with a dwarf inside of it that reads romance novels and shoots lightning out of its boobs, but it seems pretty unlikely, doesn't it?- the whole rant, Ally was trying to calm him.
-Is God and evil dwarf? - Brit asked.
-We shouldn't be talking like this; - Quinn lost her temper.-It's not right.
-Back off, - Ally hissed and the girls.
-I'm sorry Quinn, - Kurt stood and Ally glared at blondie, -But you all can believe whatever you want to. But I can't believe something I don't. I appreciate your thoughts… but I don't want your prayers, - and with that he went to his next lesson.
-Idiots, - Ally said angrily and shot out of the room following Kurt.
Next day went the same, they visited Kurt's dad, then they went to school, Ally had French with Kurt the third period and then spent lunch together on the bleachers. After History she was walking to her locker when she saw that Kurt was walking out of Sue's office, so she marched to him:
-What did she want?
-Nothing.
-Kurt, - she stopped him from moving past her. - Spill.
-She wanted me to complain to Figgins about the whole spirituality thing, - he spit out.
-You can't do that Kurt, it's Sue we're talking about it won't lead to anything good.
-Well it will do me something good, - he shot, - I'm sick of hearing this nonsense, if God is so good than why did he have to give my dad a heart attack, huh?-he shouted and people started looking at them.
-Calm down, Kurt, - girl pleaded, - I'm sorry it's your choice and I understand what you mean, - she took his hand and he calmed down a bit, - I guess I just was afraid of Sue leading you on, I'm sorry, okay? - boy nodded, - look if that will make you feel better than let it be that way, okay, I won't judge you, I will be there for you okay?
-Okay.
They both hugged and went to their classes. After their lessons ended, gleeks met at choir room. After Mr. Schue told the news to everyone Tine lost it:
-Few weeks ago we were too sexy, now we're too religious, we can't win¡
-Now I know how Miley feels, - Brit said and earned a WTF look from a few members.
-The real tragedy here is that I found the most perfect spiritual song to sing this week, and now it's been torn away from me like Sophie's daughter, - Rachel dramatically complained and Ally and Santana actually rolled their eyes.
-Guys, you can still sing whatever songs you like that sum up your feelings about God, about spirit. - Teacher said. -You just can't do it on school time.
-I hope you're happy, Kurt, - Santana bit out.
-Shut up, stupid, - Ally shot back.
-Having the week of my life, actually, - Kurt said numbly while Ally still glared at Tana.
-Guys…-Mr. Schue warned, - back off Kurt, okay? He had every right to speak his mind.
Ally took her friends hand and squeezed it a bit while Artie nodded agreeing with the teacher.
-Look, Kurt, we're sympathetic to what you're going through,-Mercedes spoke and Ally couldn't believe her, she supposed to be Kurt's best friend, - but siding with Miss Sylvester isn't gonna do anyone any good.
-It's doing me some good. Now I don't have to sit around listening to all you mental patients talk about how's there's a God when I know there isn't one, - Kurt told still a bit numbly and Ally and Artie had his back the whole time.
Mr. Schue suggested to end their practice there and let all of them go.
After school Kurt and Ally went to see Burt. He was still unconscious, but kids were with him the whole time. After a few hours, Carol and Finn came so Ally and Kurt went to grab something to eat. When they got back they saw that Rachel, Mercedes and Quinn were there so they watched threw the window. Finally Kurt lost it and marched into the room:
-What's going on in here?
-We were just praying for your dad, - Rachel answered.
-Rachel, Quinn, and I are taking turns. We're from different denominations and religions, so we figured one of us is bound to be right, Cedes added.
Ally saw how Kurt was breathing heavily so quickly sat her coffee on the table and went in time to hear Kurt saying:
-I didn't ask you to do this.
-Honey, I know you're upset about what's happening, I get it, but friends help out, even when you don't ask, - Carol said.
Ally gripped Kurt's hand trying to calm him down.
-Mr. Kurt Hummel? - Some lady came in.
-Dude, why didn't you just tell us you wanted to pray in Muslim, - Finn showed his cluelessness.
-I'm not Muslim, I'm a Sikh, - the woman said.
-She's going to see if acupuncture will improve the circulation to my dad's brain, - Kurt sighed. - Amazingly, needles pierce the skin better than psalms. Can you all please leave now?
-We all just wanted to do something, - Rachel said as everyone left.
-I would like to be alone, - Kurt said not turning to face Ally.
-But…
-Please, I just need to be with my dad while she does her thing.
-I, - Ally sighed, - I think I should go home, my parents probably are worried, - she said sadly.
-I'll text you, - Kurt said and turn to give the girl a hug, - promise, - he reassured her.
Ally kissed boys check, Mr. Hummel's forehead and said goodbye to the lady and left. When she got home, took a long hot shower. Before she went to bed she received a text from Kurt, saying he will be staying at the hospital for the night (somehow he managed to convince nurses to let him stay).
Next morning Ally woke up, ate her breakfast, got ready and went to Kurt's home, to pick him new clothes. She picked him a pair of black jeans, a simple t-shirt, a grey cardigan she fell in love first thing she saw it. When she arrived, she saw him sleeping in the chair next to his father. She quietly entered and sat all the things aside. Girl went to her friend and gently stroked his cheek:
-Kurt, Kurty, wake up, - she said sweetly.
Boy opened his eyes, stretched and blinked a few times.
-Morning, - he said with a sleepy voice.
-Hey there, I brought you some clean clothes, your toiletries and some breakfast, - she smiled stepping aside.
-Thanks, Cherie, - he stood to check up his dad.
The nurse walked in and said that she had to do the morning check up for his dad so they left. Ally waited near men's bathroom for Kurt to change and after he was done they went to find a quiet place to eat their breakfast. Ally only drank her strong coffee while she gave Kurt some fresh fruit, oatmeal and his strong coffee.
-So, any changes? - Girl asked.
-No, -he sighed, - but doctors saying that maybe it's a good thing.
-I can see how it's a good thing, he's stable. Have a little bit of patients and you'll see that everything's gonna be okay - she reassured him.
Boy looked up, smiled and took her hand:
-What would I do without you?
-Oh I don't know, - she joked, - maybe wear the same clothes two day in a row.
-True, - Kurt said and they both laughed.
After Kurt ate, they went back to Burt. They spent the time just watching him, talking about everything, hoping that maybe the sound of familiar voices will help him recover more quickly. After a few hours, the glee kids came so Ally excused herself to let them be with Kurt and his father.
She went to the waiting room and sat looking at the ceiling.
-Hey, - a familiar voice greeted her.
-Hey, - she smiled to him.
-How're you doing?
-I'm okay, - he gave her a pointed look, - just worried about Kurt, you know, - she confessed.
-Yeah, I know. You look tired; did you sleep at all this night?
-Yeah, I went home just, ah, - she laughed sadly, - probably one night of normal sleep doesn't pay off for all the other days.
-C'on let's get some caffeine in your system before you break, - he smiled and stood.
They went to hospitals café, he ordered himself a cup of coffee and she asked for a green tea.
-Matt, I can pay for myself, - girl protested as boy paid for her drink.
- I know, -he said ant took both of their cups and carried them to one of the tables.
-Thanks, - she said as he past her tea to her.
-Don't mention it.
-So, - girl asked while waiting for her drink to cool down, - how come you're not with others?
-Well I saw you leaving and thought that Kurt has enough people to talk and you looked like you needed a friend to talk.
Girl smiled and took a sip.
-It looks like you know me quite well, - she said.
-Maybe, - he smiled his half smile and took a sip of his own drink. - So, any news about his dad?
-No, - she sat her cup and shook her head, - they still don't know when he will wake up, - she said gripping her cup, - and I try to seem optimistic about everything but I just don't know how long will Kurt be able to handle this, - her voice was starting to crack.
-Hey, - Matt said taking her hand, - look at me, - girl raised her eyes to meet his, - everything's gonna be okay, Mr. Hummel's a strong man he'll wake up soon, - he reassured her.
Girl just nodded not taking her eye of his while he just rubbed circles of the back of her hand with his thumb.
-You're a really good friend to him, - he said after a while and girl just laughed sadly, - no, I mean it, you are and he is very lucky to have you.
Ally just smiled as a thank you and he squeezed her hand lightly…
Maybe I'll just post a list of song I want to wrote in the future so that it wouldn't look like a lame try to redo what they did?
P.S. how you like the storyline so far? What are you expecting in the future?
