Chapter 12

It had been a couple weeks since the detective called Blaine. Kurt and Jeff left for work together, and picked up Sebastian on the way. There were several times while Kurt was working that he felt like he was being watched, but he just brushed it off as paranoia.

He was closing at the diner on Tuesday. Jeff was supposed to come pick him up. So Kurt was waiting out front. There were people around, it was New York after all, but no one was really paying attention to Kurt. He felt a hand on his mouth, and a familiar voice said, "One sound, and you die." Kurt felt himself being pulled towards the alley. He fought against his assailant, desperately clawing at the hand covering his mouth.

"Stop fighting or its gonna hurt worse." the voice said. Then pain exploded through Kurts torso, as Karofsky punched him in the gut. Kurt tried to catch his breath as Karofsky kept punching him. If he could just move or make a sound. The edges of his vision were turning black. He felt himself starting to lose consciousness. Just before he lost consciousness completely he heard someone call, "Kurt!" Then everything went black.
