AN: Inspired by lyrics from "Broken Sound" by New Found Glory. A little addition to a scene from my favorite episode "Furt".

"What the hell have you been doing, while all this was going on, huh?"*

Burt's words echoed in my head long after he had stormed down the hallway. I had only seen him this angry once before, and like now his anger had been directed at me. That time it was for something I had done, and this time for something I failed to do. The only thing that made this whole situation any better was that at least I wasn't the only one that anger was focused on.

Still, between Burt's anger and Rachel's voiced disappointment in me, I was starting to feel guilty. They were both right, I should have stood up for Kurt. I shouldn't have let Karofsky or anyone else continually harass him.

Glancing at Kurt now, I could see the helplessness that he felt in his expression. It was clear to me that Kurt felt responsible for this somehow despite that fact that he was the victim.

"I'm sorry. I'll talk to him," Kurt said, his words telling me that I was reading his expression right.

"No. Your dad's right to be angry with me. He's right. I should have been standing up for you."

"You didn't know how bad it was," Kurt reasoned.

"It should have never gotten this far," I replied, knowing that I had failed Kurt as a friend, let alone as the brother I was about to become to him.

"I should probably got find him," Kurt said, backing up as he said the words. It was clear he didn't know what else to say and to be honest I didn't know either.

As I watched Kurt walk down the hallway I knew that I had to stop thinking about myself and start thinking about Kurt instead. Kurt was the one who was being harassed daily, both verbally and physically, for just being himself. It wasn't like he was doing anything to harm anyone else. Wasn't trying to convert people to his life style. All he wanted was what we all wanted - to be accepted.

It was time I stopped thinking only of myself. That I stopped thinking that life was as simple as what was portrayed on tv. Life wasn't just a game, it was so much more complicated, and perhaps for Kurt just a bit more complicated for him than the rest of us.

The rest of the Glee guys had shown their support for Kurt, and it was about time that I did too.
