Kurt was sitting in his office, working on a new piece for his fashion line, and his secretary called him.

“Mr Hummel,” She said right away. “There is a call for you. Jayden’s school principal.”

“What?” Kurt muttered to himself and answered the call. “Kurt Hummel speaking.”

The principal explained that Jayden had been involved in a fight with another jock, and that he needed to come in. Calling Blaine on the way, he got to the school and saw his seventeen year old sitting with a boy who looked shaken up and another wearing a letterman jacket,  and his father.

“Please tell me you weren’t in a fight?” Kurt looked at Jayden.

 “I was,” Jayden said quietly. “And I’m sorry. But, you have to hear my side of the story.”

 “There is no reason to become violent,” Kurt shook his head. “Violence is never the answer.”

“It was my fault Mr Hummel – Anderson,” The shaken boy spoke up. “Jayden was defending me.”

“Defending you?” The principal now piped up. “How?”

“Kyle torments me on a daily basis,” The boy began. “He throws me into lockers and dumpsters. Today, he slammed me into a locker when we were talking about our biology assignment and Jayden told him to leave me alone.”

“Is that true?” The principal asked.

“I never touched either of the fags,” Kyle answered. “I wouldn’t want to catch their germs.”

“I have a girlfriend,” Jayden rebutted. “Which is more than anyone can say about you.”

“Okay,” The principal looked at them. “All three of you have after school detention tomorrow. Now you can go home, and try to resolve your problems next time.”

Kurt saw Jayden’s face when he received the punishment. The seventeen year old could understand how he and Kyle deserved detention, but not the poor shaken up boy. He didn’t do anything wrong – and Kurt knew what it was like to be in his shoes. They got home and Kurt took one look at Jayden.

“I’ll start with the laundry,” Jayden looked at Kurt. “But I don’t understand how Alex got detention. He didn’t do anything wrong.”

“I know what it is like to be in Alex’s shoes,” Kurt looked at Jayden. “And you did the right thing by telling Kyle to leave him alone, but you shouldn’t have got in a fight with him, Jayden. I thought you knew better.”

“I know,” Jayden said, starting his chores. “But I don’t think it’s fair that Alex gets pushed around, and in trouble because he likes guys.”

“It isn’t fair,” Kurt looked at the boy. “But once he gets out of high school, it will be okay.”

Blaine came how with the twins later on and that night Kurt explained what happened.

“He got in a fight,” Kurt shook his head, finishing his moisturising routine. “I have tried so hard to tell him not to be violent.”

Blaine looked at him. “He knows what he did was wrong. What did the guy say anyway?”

“He called them fags. I just really hope he learns from this,” Kurt breathed in heavily. “I don’t want him punching every guy who calls him gay.

“I don’t think Jayden handled that correctly,” Blaine answered. “But I still remember how angry I got when people said that to me. He’s a good kid, Kurt, and he understands what he has done wrong.”
