AN: So what happened after Karofsky leaves the locker room after kissing Kurt? We're left with Kurt standing there and know he eventually goes to Blaine but what brings him out of the shocked state he is so clearly in? This is my take. Inspired by lyrics from "Dear God" by What's Eating Gilbert
Heading back to the locker room to retrieve my wallet, which I had left in my gym locker, I quickly moved to the side as Karofsky came hurrying out of the locker room. The look I caught appeared to be a mixture of him being upset and angry. I watched him hurry down the hallway until he disappeared from my sight and then pushed the locker room door open. Whatever drama Karofsky was involved in now, I was pretty sure I didn't want to deal with it. I had enough troubles of my own.
I took one step into the locker room and stopped short. Kurt was standing next to the nearest bank of lockers looking petrified. Suddenly, Karofsky's quick departure did matter to me. Kurt being in the locker room and Karofsky storming out of the locker room had to be related in some way.
"Kurt, are you okay?" I asked, walking toward him.
Kurt didn't give any indication that he had heard my question or was aware of my presence.
"Kurt," I tried again, reaching out this time to touch his shoulder.
Kurt jumped at my touch, finally looking in my direction as I quickly withdrew my hand.
"Are you, okay?"
"Yeah, fine," he replied, before walking out of the locker room.
I stood staring at the door after he left. He was clearly not okay, but I didn't know what to do about it. I wasn't exactly the type of person most people open up to and I think that would go double for Kurt.
I wasn't sure what I had expected to happen when I confronted Karofsky but it definitely wasn't that. I felt violated - dirty. Part of me wished he had just hit me as at least that I knew how to deal with and I knew the physical pain and bruises would go away. I didn't know how to deal with this.
What if he tried something again? What if he went further than just a kiss next time?
And how much did Puck know? When had he come into the locker room? Whose side would he be on?
The one thing I had been sure of was that I couldn't open up to him. Not after everything he has said and done. In fact there is only one person that I want to talk to and I need to find my cell phone to do that. Even if I do find it, is it still going to work?
I sure hope so, because I need to talk to Blaine. He's the only one I know that might possibly understand how I'm feeling right now.
