Wes could feel the tension and fear rolling off the younger boy in waves as they drove. Which was the main reason for the radio, considering he normally didn't have it on when he was driving. Now, however, he had a small smile from listening to David and Blaine belt out Single Ladies in a desperate attempt to make Kurt relax. Which was working, although the countertenor wasn't joining in very loudly. I LOVE HIS VOICE! Man, I want that for the Warblers! For the most part this was how the ride from Westville to Lima went. The younger boy's fear became more apparent the closer they got.

"Calm down Kurt. I have a plan alright." Wes tried to calm his new found friend after another uncomfortable shift was felt. The fact Wes spoke at all was unusual.

"WOW, Kurt feel honored Wes never talks and drives," David used the same over the top action and tone he had used earlier that morning.

"It's true Kurt, Wes rarely speaks when he's driving." Blaine added.

"Why?" Kurt seemed confused, after all who doesn't talk while they're driving?

"Don't worry about it Kurt. It's just how my father taught me." The car shifts to another lain, "If you really want to know I will explain later. We take a right here?" Why am I driving? This should be Blaine, he's been to Kurt's loads of times before.

"Yes," Kurt's voice raised a few octaves

Minutes passed in silence, and as they pulled into Kurt's drive way Wes tried once again to reassure him, "I do have a plan Kurt. You, David, and Blaine will take your stuff to your room and I will introduce myself to your father. Alright? One of us will call you a few minutes later."

"What are you going to talk to him about?" Kurt sounded slightly nervous.

"Not about the bullying. You trust me don't you?" Kurt reluctantly nodded as they all exited the car.

Upon entering the Hummel home the smell of chicken and chocolate chip cookies hit them, Kurt smiled, "I'm back Carole, and I brought a few friends."

"Kurt! Hi, honey did you have a good time." She asked entering the living room from the kitchen, cleaning her hands on her apron before bringing Kurt into a hug. "And who are these young men."

"Oh, uh…"

"Wes Montgomery, Ma'am. It is a pleaser to meet you."

"David Thompson."

Both boys shook her hand politely.

"My, my, are all the boys that go to your school so polite, Blaine? It is a pleaser to meet both of you, I'm Carole. Kurt's fathers fiancé."

Blaine blushed and moved slightly in embarrassment.

"Why don't you boys put Kurt's things in his room, while I pull the cookies out of the oven."

"Carole, where is Dad? Did he have to go to the garage?"

"No, he was just getting out of the shower." With that she went back into the kitchen.

Wes turned to the others, "Just like I said in the car, no worries." He added patting Kurt on the arm lightly.

Wes entered the kitchen at the same time Burt wandered in. "Hello, you must be Mr. Hummel. I'm Wes Montgomery, Kurt's friend. I go to school with Blaine." He held out his hand as he had done minutes before with Carole.

Burt shook it, "Yeah, nice to meet you. Where is Kurt anyway, I heard him come in."

"He and the others are putting his things away." Wes took a deep breath calming himself because despite his efforts at calming Kurt, he was extremely nervous. "Do you think I can speak to you both for a minute?"

Carole turned to face him allowing the cookies to cool and Burt nodded before adding, "'bout what, kid?"

Another deep breath, "Kurt. Now before you say anything, he is fine right now but…" I wish my heart would slow down. Ok you've been through this just keep talking.

"Kid, what do you mean fine right now?" Burt eyed him threateningly.

"Ok, sorry," Wes didn't normally get this nervous but this was really important, "We managed to convince Kurt to tell you about things that are going on at school. BUT he is really worried that you are going to have another heart attack and I just wanted to for warn you. That way you have some idea of what is about to happen and you can try and remain calm because I think if you seem calm that, that will calm Kurt. And he is really worried about this and…" Stop you fool! You said that all so fast, you'll be lucky if he understood anything you just said. Yet again another deep breath.

Burt and Carole watched Wes for a moment. Carole's hand lingering on Burt's shoulder. Finally Burt spoke, "I am not going to have a heart attack. Kurt worries about me too much, but thank you for being such a good friend to him. I guess they are waiting to get the ok from you?" Wow, he is an awesome dad. Wes nodded. "Alright. KURT, YOU GUYS CAN COME UP NOW. Let's move to the living room shall we."

The entire conversation went remarkable well. Kurt couldn't hold back his tears when Burt said 'it would hurt me more if something happened and I didn't know beforehand Kurt. You have to trust me, I'm your father.' And when Carole added 'we are a family Kurt that's what we do.' The conversation ended with Burt declaring he would call the school tomorrow and schedule a meeting with the principal.

When everything had calm down Blaine suggested the four boys go out to lunch, and Burt agreed. As they were leaving however Wes paused.

"Hey, I am going to use the restroom first," he tossed the keys to David, "Be right back." Wes reentered the house and walked over to the kitchen. "Mr. Hummel?"

"Burt." He said turning around to face the Warbler, "Anyone who would do that for my son deserves my respect." He smiled, but it seemed pain. And why wouldn't it be…he just found out his only son's life was threatened and sexually assaulted.

"I…" It is not my day, "Here." Wes handed a pile of papers to Burt.

"What's this."

"Information about Dalton. I know you are going to talk to the principal but if what Kurt says is true I don't know if it will work." Once again Wes could feel his heart racing. "There's information about scholarships, tuition, boarding, the no bullying policy, the Warblers, and all the phone number and websites. Kurt doesn't know I put all that together, but…"

"You did all of this for Kurt?" Burt seemed shocked. "Why?"

Wes swallowed, "I had to. My brother killed himself when he was thirteen because kids treated him like crap…Kurt reminds me of him, and I…" Wes closed his eyes briefly, "I had to do something. I couldn't for Dylan…but Blaine and…and Kurt…I just had to." Hastily wiping his eyes he breathed out, "sorry." Before turning to leave only to be caught by Burt's hand on his shoulder. Though Wes refused to meet his eyes.

"You are a really great kid, Wes." Burt patted him comfortingly.

"Kurt is so lucky to have friends like you!" Carole pulled the startled boy into a hug, her eyes tearing as well.

Once release Wes wiped any ruminants of tears and nodded goodbye, hearing a heartfelt 'Thank you!' from his friend father.
