Time
Have you ever noticed that time either speeds up or slows down depending on what it is you're doing, well, when it comes to waiting for a loved one to get better, to know if he's going to make it or not, when it comes to that, time slows down so much it seems like ages before something happens when in reality it's only been a couple of hours. A day has gone by since we arrived in Paris, a day with absolutely no change in my father's condition and frankly I'm beat, I'm haven't slept for two days, haven't left his side since yesterday. It's funny actually it's only been a day and already I feel as if I've been waiting for a lifetime.
I made the rest of the guys go downstairs and eat something; only one of us needed to be here and there's no need to tire everyone. I was holding my dad's hand and was staring off into space when a noise echoed around the room; I immediately stood up and looked down at my dad, whose eyes were just fluttering open.
"You look like shit" he croaked and I let out the breath I was holding and began to laugh and cry at the same time
"The first thing you say in almost three weeks and it has to be an insult" I say and flung my arms around him "Wait! I have to get the doctors" I yell and run to the door to yell "Doctor!" and run back to my dad's side when I hear loud footsteps
"Kurt! What is it? Is he-"Robert suddenly cuts off as he and the others lay eyes on my father who is now sitting and smiling at them "How…. When did…." His words drift off and he runs to the bed and waves his hand in front of my dad's face
"Robert, keep doing that and I'll punch you right now" my dad says and Robert instantly drops his hand "Never thought I'd see the day when you'd be rendered speechless" he laughs when Robert just stares at him with wide eyes and mouth wide open.
"How the hell is he talking?" Robert finally managed to ask
"Uhh well you see when one wants to-"my dad began but Robert cut him off
"I wasn't asking you, I was asking the doctor" he snaps "Well?" he says and the doctor immediately begins to check him over, his reflexes, blinking, breathing, movement and when he's done he gives my dad some water and turns to face us.
"He's fine. It'll take some time for him to be able to walk without a cane and some of his memories may be a little fussy but other than that his recovery is looking very well" he says and exits the room with the nurses in tow.
"How long did you say I was out for?" my dad asks me
"Almost three weeks" I answer and he pales
"Damn" he says and we all nod in agreement "Wait, didn't I give the order for you to stay in Ohio" he narrows his eyes and I look away
"You did but we ran away from them" I say and he grasps my chin and makes me looks at him
"We?"He asks angrily
"Yeah, Gabe, Nick, Jeff, Wes, David and my boyfriend came with me" I whisper
"You endangered your brother as well!" he growls
"Please" I scoff "I didn't endanger anyone, I did everything right and handled our transport with care and stealth, nobody even knows we're here" I say proudly
He looks at me for a few seconds before throwing his arms in the air "Fine, I trust you and you were trained by the best so I'll let that slip" he says and he turns his attention to Robert and is about to say something to him when he whirls to look at me again "Boyfriend?" he asks
"Uhh…. Well, you see…" I can't finish the sentence and look at Robert "Care to help?"
"Ohhh no kid, this one is all yours, this is going to be too fun to come between it" he laughs and makes my father look at him before continuing "And you should know that we have five new members" he says and smiles innocently at me when I gasp.
"Kurt?" my dad asks and motions for me to sit down "Spill, now or I'll make them bring your brother and squish it out of him"
"Fine" I say and sit down "What do you want to know first?"
"About the new members, the boyfriend talk will be much more complicated and long" he glares at me
"Well, a couple of days ago my boyfriend wanted to take me out on a date but he didn't want Sam and Nate to come with us so he asked them for permission, it turns out that they thought that the best way to make that happen was to offer him a place in the clan since every member gets a gun and thus a way to protect me. They also thought that it'd be best to talk about all of this in front of Nick, Jeff, Wes and David, all of whom jumped on board as soon as the spot was offered and so we got five more members" I say, avoiding my dad's gaze.
"They didn't consult you?" he demands angrily
"No, because they didn't have to, Gabe was there and he gave them permission" I say and finally look up
"Are they any good?" he asks, knowing there was nothing he could do now
"They've only been training for a couple of days but they are all courageous and respectful boys so I believe they will be a great asset to the clan" I say, meaning every word "I may not have liked how they were integrated but I do not regret them becoming part of us at all"
"Very well, I will have to meet with them and have a little talk in private but I trust both you and your brother" he says softly "Now, about this boyfriend?"
"He's from Dalton, I liked him since the moment I laid my eyes on him, he is just breathtakingly beautiful and he took my breath away that day. We became friends almost immediately and since then it grew until I knew that what I felt for him was more than friendship, I love him dad, I know it sound silly and you probably think it's just the teenage hormones and whatnot that are talking but I mean it, every day I fall for him even more." I say and can't help but smile "Anyway, we danced around each other for a while since none of us wanted to risk asking and losing our friendship but he finally went for it at Sectionals and we've been inseparable since then" with a big smile on my face and look up when neither Robert or my dad say something and find them smiling brightly at me "Guys?"
"I haven't seen you this happy in quite some time" says Robert happily and stands up to hug me "Congratulations and I'm happy you found him" he says and releases me
"Thank you" I say and turn to face my dad "Please say something"
"I just….I don't think it's because you're a teenager, I met your mom in high school and that wasn't just a fling, she loved me with all her might, we would have grown older together but she was ripped away from me and still I love her. She and I had the same look you have right now and I'm pretty sure he has it as well, your love is unique so hold on to it" he says and as if he knew we were talking about him, Blaine and the others suddenly burst into the room, all of them stopping when they saw my dad awake.
"Dad!" Gabe yells and runs to his side and launches himself on top of him
"Hey, monster. Missed me?" he laughs
"Don't do that again" Gabe says when he lift his head and my dad's smile dies when he sees the tears running down his face
"Never" my dad says and wipes his tears away
"Good, because I hate hospitals and the Hummel's never break promises and you were about to break yours" he says and buries himself on his side
"Seeing as Gabe is now a useless koala, I'll go ahead and introduce you" I say and move to stand beside the others "This is Nick, his boyfriend Jeff, Wes, David and Blaine, guys this is my dad Burt" I say and they all nod at each other
"Hi!" Jeff says excitedly and runs to the bed "Are you dumb now?" he asks and the others yell "Jeff!"
"What? The doctors said he could have some brain damage" he pouts
"Wow, he's a special one" my dad laughs "And no Jeff, I'm not dumb I can still outsmart my enemies and inflict as much pain as always to my enemies and anyone who hurts my boys, so I better not hear you hurt them or there'll be hell to pay, am I clear?" he threatens and Jeff nods quickly and runs to Nick's side
"He really is scary" I hear him whisper to Nick
"So, which one of you three is the boyfriend?" my dad asks, glaring at them and Wes and David step away from Blaine and point at him "Blaine, right?"
"Yes, sir" Blaine says politely, although he looks as scared as Jeff
"That rule applies to you too, only it'd be much worse for you, so don't hurt him" he warns
"I wouldn't dream about it sir, I love your son and I'll be with him as long as he'll have me" he says and wraps his arms around me from behind
"Good" he smiles "Now that I've threatened all of those who needed it, sit down because we need to talk" he orders and we all sit around him
"Now, the five of you understand that the gun you carry now means the clan is your life now, right? You can still study whatever you want but at the end of the day you'll use that knowledge for the benefit of the clan, you'll work in our businesses and fight with us when needed" he says, looking at each of them in the eye
"We do" says Wes and my dad nods
"Can I see your weapons?" he asks and they all move to take them out and hand them over "Very nice choices" he says and inspect each of them before handing them back "How many days do you intend on training them?" he asks Sam
"Every day after school for an hour" says Sam "They've done a good job so far so I don't think it'll be a problem"
"Do you have any questions?" asks my dad and Nick raises his hand "It isn't school Nick but go ahead"
"What do we tell our parents? Not that mine will notice the difference but I know that the others will" he says a little sad
"Nothing, the less they know the less danger they're exposed to, you're family now and we take care of our own, that includes your parents and siblings so if you're threatened or put on a hard case we send men to protect your family and since you'll still be able to keep contact and visit them all you want they won't notice the difference so why worry them" he answers "Anything else?"
"No, that's all, Kurt and Gabe have explained the rules and procedures" says Blaine
"My turn" says Robert and stands up, we all stare at him since none of us have a clue of what he's talking about "There was an incident at McKinley while you were gone"
"What?" asks Peter
"Everything was fine when we left" says Cam "And we've only been gone for sixteen hours"
"Most of which were at night" says Nate
"I know but a lot can happen in a short amount of time. Anyway, someone attacked the school after classes were over; they went after the Cheerios and New Directions looking for you"
I gasp and ask worriedly "Are they all alright?"
"Yes, Sue's people were there and managed to scare them off before any serious damage could be done" he says and turns to my father "What do you want to do?"
My dad thinks for a while, all of us looking at him and holding our breaths "You're not going back there but-"Gabe and I cut him off
"What?" we yell and stand up
"Dad, you can't be serious, nothing happened!" says Gabe "I still have football games"
"Yeah and what about the Cheerios and New Directions?" I say angrily but calm down when Blaine reaches out to squeeze my hand
My dad scoffs "Kurt your side is in a cast and it'll take a while for you to be able to go back to cheerleading and Gabe, I know for a fact that you won the game that takes you to the finals, you've done what you can"
"Fine! But what about New Directions?" I ask
"You can help them win regionals but after that you'll be part of the Warblers" he tells us and then looks at the others "I assume you do have room for them?"
"Of course" says Wes excitedly
"They've been bugging them since they heard they could sing" laughs Blaine
"See? You'll still be able to sing" my dad says happily and I growl slightly
"You know as well as I do that's not the issue here" I say and start pacing "They'll take the news badly and…. And how the hell do you expect me to leave, they're family dad, it's not just about singing" I whisper
"I know, but they'll understand because if they're still the people I remember they'll be happy you're taking precautions" he says. We all remain silent, trying to think of what to say next when Wes suddenly jumps out of his seat
"Oh my God!" he yells
"What?" we all ask
"Regionals is in three days and we haven't been practicing nonstop like always" he says
"Wes calm down, you'll be leaving this afternoon, I'm sure you'll have plenty of time to practice" says Robert
"Why do we have to leave so soon?" whines Gabe "Dad just woke up"
"Because you skipped school on Friday and I won't let you skip on Monday, if you leave today you'll be able to rest and you'll have enough time to tell the New Directions and practice to kick the Warblers ass on Wednesday" he says
"Riiiight" I say and look at Blaine "You guys are going down, if it's my last performance with them, I'll be sure to send them straight to New York"
"Then I'll be sure to tell all of Dalton so they can go see you being beat by us, in an epic battle" he smiles
Next chapter will be Regionals and I need songs for the Warblers, do you have any suggestions?
