Kurt and Rebecca have a discussion about what is happening to her and Noah.
Both are sitting in the waiting room watching Tom talk with Mrs. Cantrell and Noah's doctor.
When Rebecca walks over and sits beside Kurt he puts his arm around her should and asks, "Are you ok Becky? What did the social worker tell you?"
"I don't know if I am going to be ok, I have to live with Mr. Watson and so does Noah. She said it wasn't safe for us to live with Mom right now. I tried to tell her that Mom wouldn't hurt me but she explained that with Noah gone Mom would start going off on me since I was there.", she says softly wringing her hands in her lap.
"You both are going to live with Mr. Watson?", there is surprise in Kurt's voice. So that was what all the papers were tonight, he thinks to himself. "You know she might be right Becky, your Mom really could start abusing you," he pulls her closer to him trying to comfort her.
"I know and Noah needs me too. He was so scared tonight and he cried longer than he has ever. Mom really hurt him this time," the fear creeping in her voice. She keeps staring at her hands like they are foreign to her.
Kurt suddenly remembers seeing the liquor bottle on the counter. "Was your Mom drinking tonight?", he keeps his voice gentle not knowing how she would answer.
"Yeah, she drinks every night. Sometimes when we are out shopping she has this special water bottle that carries with her," there is a sadness in her voice and Kurt notices a tear slip down her cheek. "I told Mrs. Cantrell about Mom's drinking too. She wasn't happy about that either, it made her mad."
Shit, I didn't know it was this bad. Did any of us ever ask Noah about his family? Kurt thinks trying to digest the information.
"Mr. Watson seems like he really cares about Noah and to me if he cares about Noah he will take good care of you too. And my number is in Noah's phone so all you have to do is call me, okay?", he gently nudges her knee offering his friendship her.
Her face lighting up Rebecca with a smile says " Thanks you're a good friend to Noah and me. I don't know what would have happened if you hadn't come over. I know I couldn't carry him up the stairs all by myself".
Kurt hugging her with one arm replies, "I am glad I could help Becky and I wish I had a little sister like you. He smiles at her, "Noah is lucky to have you for a sister."
Rebecca ask Kurt the one question he doesn't want to answer, "Do you think Noah is going to okay, really okay? I mean he was hurting so bad and he passed out. I cant lose Noah, I cant lose my big brother." She puts her head on Kurt's shoulder sniffling.
Kurt in a soft voice, "Lets ask Mr. Watson, he's headed this way".
Tom lets them know that they will be able to see Noah after they get his room ready and Noah is settled in for the rest of the night. He lets Kurt know that they need to talk in private before they see Noah.
He talks with them for a few minutes making sure Rebecca is okay with the living arrangements and that she understands them. He is surprised by the maturity level of the eleven year old girl.
He starts to think maybe things will settle down for a little while, but that was before he heard the angry voice behind start yelling at him.
