Blaine stared blankly out of the hospital window. The rain falling so heavily that it was making a tapping sound on the windows and roof. A slight tug at the bottom of Blaine’s pants snapped him out of his daydream.
“Daddy, when can we see Papa?” A soft voice spoke. Blaine sighed before he bent down and picked his daughter up. She was the spitting image of Blaine the curls in her hair fell softly round her face.
“I don’t know sweetie.” Blaine said in a tone that he hoped wouldn’t scare her. Blaine had only got the call that Kurt was in the hospital less than 2 hours ago. It was Blaine’s turn looking after their 2 children Elizabeth 6 and Alex 4 while Kurt was at work but for some reason today was different. Kurt was late which meant he was in a rush but it was only an hour and half later Blaine got a call from the hospital saying they had just received a badly beaten up Kurt. Of course Blaine had to go down there but he couldn’t find a babysitter at such little notice meaning he had to bring the children. Alex was asleep on one of the hospital chairs. Blaine placed his daughter on the chair next to him and just as he was about to pull out a book from his bag one of the nurses walked in.
“Mr Anderson” The nurses whispered as she saw the sleeping child.
“How...how is he?” Blaine stuttered as he got up almost knocking over the chairs to rush to the woman.
“I’m not seeing your husband so I can’t tell you anything about his condition but I was told that you had some young children with you and I work down in the children’s ward and I’m guessing this must be a difficult time for you and that since you have youngsters with you that maybe...well we have a play area that they can go and play in while you wait. I mean it must be pretty hard to stay strong and maybe it might be for the....”
“I can’t you have...” Blaine muttered unsure what to do.
“Oh it’s no problem. It just means that you can have some time on your own in this difficult period. I promise they will be cared for and we have done this before and you can get them anytime if you’re unsure.” Said the nurse as she put her hand on his shoulder.
“You must think I’m an idiot?” Blaine laughed.
“No I don’t. So what do you think?”
“Go on then” Blaine said as he turned around headed straight to Alex. He bent down to the level of the chair and slowly started stroking his son’s hair.
“Alex wake up son” He said softly as he woke the boy. Alex wiped his eyes and gave his father a massive toothy grin.
“You and Liz are going to go with this lovely woman...”
“Tracy” The nurse spoke up so they could give the lady a name to her face.
“Tracy and they have a play area here that you guys can go in so you can go down there and play why we wait for Papa ok.” Blaine said as helped Alex of his seat and over to Tracy.
“Will there be other kids there?” Liz asked.
“Oh yes, do you like making friends?” Tracy asked as she held onto their hands.
“Yes” Liz replied as Blaine watched them walk out the door.
An hour had pasted, why hadn’t Blaine been allowed to see him yet? All his emotions had blurred into one. He was tired and hungry but he couldn’t sleep or eat he had to see him. He slowly moved back over to the window. The same dark cloud that had been hanging over the building was still there and it looked like there was sure to be a full-blown thunder storm happening soon. Blaine had left a message on Burt’s phone but hadn’t had a reply. Blaine couldn’t stop thinking about how Kurt must have been found. Badly beaten and left for dead but what for? His wallet? For being gay? It must have been something. You don’t just go around beating innocent people and leave them dying in the streets.
“Mr Anderson?” A sad voice said behind him. Blaine hadn’t notice the door had opened while he had been looking through the window.
“Can I see him please?” Blaine pleaded as he rushed over to the doctor.
“I suggest you take a seat.”
“Oh god why please tell me!” Blaine demanded.
“I’m so sorry but Kurt passed away while he was on the operating table. The injuries he had recei....”
“NO I DON’T BELIEVE YOU. YOU HAVE THE WRONG PERSON!” Blaine shouted back as he felt his legs go like jelly, his head spinning from the news he had just received.
“I’m so sorry. There was nothing we could do his injuries were just too bad.” The doctor said as he watched Blaine try and make his way to a chair but his legs wouldn’t let him balance. The doctor quickly grabbed a hold of Blaine’s shoulders and helped him on to the chair.
“I don’t understand he was fine this morning. Oh god the last words I said to him was ‘don’t be late for dinner’ I...I need to see him please.” Blaine pleaded his whole body shaking violently.
“You will get to see him but first maybe you should get some air. You don’t want to be like this when you see him ok”
The doctor had helped Blaine out to get some fresh air. After about a few minutes Blaine had stopped shaking. Finally the doctor agreed that he could go and see Kurt.
“Now I must warn you Mr Anderson that your husband sustained a lot injuries and he will have loads of bruising...”
“I don’t care I need to see him.” Blaine said as he forced the doctor’s hand out of the way of the door handle. He slowly pulled it down and the door creaked open. The room was deathly cold and the lights were bright. Blaine felt the chill in the air and pulled his jumper tighter. He saw a large table in the centre of the room with a body placed out on it, Kurt’s body. He slowly walked closer to it, trying his best to not let his emotions get the better of him. He eventually reached the table and laughed. He saw Kurt had been clothed in one of them hospital gowns, Kurt would have killed them for placing him in it.
“Kurt would have killed you guys” Blaine spoke to the doctor who was looking at him unsure why he just laughed.
“Why?”
“He would have hated that outfit, he would have demanded something more up market, designer even. That’s one of the reasons I feel in love with him.” Blaine said as he walked up the side of the table eventually placing his hands on Kurt’s. He felt a single tear start to fall down from his eye. He slowly lifted up Kurt’s hand and started to kiss it softly.
“Come on baby wake up, you need to see what these guys have dressed you in. I’m sure you have a few things to say about it. Please baby, open your eyes.” Blaine said as he kissed his hand again. Eventually he placed his forehead on Kurt’s so he was looking down at him. He eyes had been shut. He slowly placed a kiss on Kurt’s lips which were ice cold. Blaine jumped back that hoping his kiss would bring him back to life just like the prince did for Snow White but nothing.
“Come on baby, you need to wake up. Liz and Alex really want to see you, they miss there Papa...I miss there Papa.” Blaine said as he knees finally gave way. He hit the floor like a sack of potatoes. His knees now stinging from the fall but he didn’t care.
“I can’t do this without you Kurt. I can’t imagine life without you. God I love you so much.” Just then he felt a hand on his shoulder and as he looked up he saw the doctor there.
“I’m so sorry” He said as he bent down to Blaine’s leave.
“I can’t...” Blaine said as he placed his head in his hands.
“I know it’s going to be hard but we have people on site who will offer support....”
“I DON’T WANT SUPPORT I WANT KURT!” Blaine shouted as he tugged at his hair. The doctor jumped back unsure what to say.
“I’m sorry” Blaine said as he lifted himself off the floor.
“It’s okay I understand how your feeling.” The doctor replied.
“I need to tell Burt.”
“Burt?”
“His father” Blaine replied as he once again attached himself to Kurt’s hand.
“Would you like me to call him?”
“No I think it should come from me....How am I going to tell Liz and Alex?” Blaine asked as he kissed Kurt’s hand again.
Comments
This was really good and really sad. I just want to give Blaine a hug and tell him that things will be ok. I am interested in seeing why it happened and to see if Blaine is able to get ahold of Burt.
Omgg I can't help but sit here and cry :(
