The Truth Always Comes Out

                 Chapter 20: Intruder

          Blaine is resting after the bone marrow collection procedure. He is in no pain due to the local anesthesia and the drug they gave him to make him drowsy. He was totally relaxed and life was good in his mind. His eyes are closed as he was waiting for Kurt to return. He doesn't notice a man with black curly hair enter his room and close the door. “Here you are.” he says. Blaine slightly opens his eyes to see who was talking. “That doesn't sound like Kurt,” he thought in his hazy state. “Hi,” he says weakly trying to be polite. “I'm sorry, do I know you?” Blaine asks groggily as he rubs his eyes trying to focus. “I'm your Father,” he says. “Daddy,” Blaine says relieved, happy, and still feeling silly from the drugs still in his system. He opens his arms wanting to be hugged. Jack Hill moves in close to Blaine and hears him say “I am so glad you are here.” as he hugs him with a smirk on his face. “I thought you had a business meeting that you couldn't miss,” Blaine says. Jack Hill backs away from Blaine and pulls the collar up on his jacket so it will be harder to see his face. Blaine continues to blink trying desperately to get the haze in his head to vanish. “Where is Kurt? He was going to get me some water.”  Blaine says. “Is he your faggy boyfriend?” Jack Hill asks. “No, no don't say that Father. I love him,” Blaine pleads. “You're a dirty fag too,” Blaine hears these awful words coming from the man who said he was his father. His heart is breaking. “I'm so glad I didn't have to raise a fairy and say he was my son,” the man says. “Why are you saying those things to me?” Blaine asks as tears roll down his face. Blaine is finally able to open his eyes and can see clearly. He sees a man with black curly hair standing next to him that he recognizes and becomes angry. “Hi son,” Jack Hill says. “Thanks for giving my true son your bone marrow. Now, I'm going to tell you what is going to happen next,” he says as he presses his index finger into Blaine's chest. “You are going to stop communicating with Joey. You will never see or talk to Joey again, you useless excuse for a person. Do you understand me, or else I may have to visit to someone, if you get my drift.” he says in a threatening voice. Blaine pushes Jack Hill's hand off his chest and breathing heavily yells, “Don't you ever call me your son. I will never be your son. I feel sorry for Joey because he is stuck with a jerk like you for a Father. I'm not afraid of you but you should be afraid of me. I am going to be your shadow for the rest of your life. Any person you befriend or job you apply for or neighborhood you live in I will make sure that they know about you and what you have done. Know get your ass out of here before I make you,” Blaine says sternly. “Get out,” he yells. “Get out,” he yells louder. Jack Hill stares at Blaine, not backing down. Blaine starts to get out of his bed.

          At the nurse's station Kurt has been talking to Joey while he was getting water for Blaine. They suddenly hear shouting coming from a room. “Get out!” they heard it again. “Did that come from Blaine's room?” Kurt asks as he starts to run toward Blaine's room along with Joey. He pushes the door open and sees Blaine getting out of his bed and about to stand. Kurt rushes toward Blaine and catches him as he starts to fall because he doesn't have all his feeling back in his legs yet. Kurt helps Blaine back onto his bed while Joey grabs his Father and asks, “What are you doing here?  “I just wanted to make sure my son was doing alright. I wanted to thank him for donating his bone marrow and besides can't a father see his son?” Jack Hill says innocently. “Don't ever call me that!” Blaine yells. “Get out! Get out! I hate you! Get out!” Blaine lunges toward Jack Hill while Kurt tries to restrain him. “What's going on in here?” Doctor Potter shouts as he quickly goes to Blaine trying to get him to lie down. Blaine continues thrashing, trying to get up, ignoring Kurt's pleas. “Get me a sedative,” the doctor tells the nurse. “He needs to be lying down and resting. Everyone out and that's an order!” Dr. Potter shouts. The nurse returns and the sedative is given to Blaine immediately. “Do you not understand English? I said everyone out. I will talk to you out in the hall in a few minutes,” the doctor says as the 3 men start walking out of the room. Jack Hill stops and says, “Blaine, tell your Mom I said hello.” Blaine tries to go after Jack Hill but is stopped by the doctor. The sedative begins to take effect and Blaine is starting to relax and stops fighting. His breathing is slowing down and his eyes are beginning to close as he whispers “Kurt,” before falling asleep.

          Dr. Potter leaves Blaine's room and Kurt runs up to him and asks, “Is he alright?”  “For the moment, he is sleeping because of the sedative,” he answers. Joey and Jack Hill join the group. “Follow me,” Dr. Potter tells the 3 men. They go into a small office and Dr. Potter says, “The reason he has to stay overnight is to make sure he is lying down, resting, and staying calm for 24 hours. His body is adjusting to the procedure he just went through. This hysterics is unacceptable and detrimental to my patient. I know the history between you and that this is a difficult situation. However, in my conversations with Mr. Anderson he has never mentioned wanting you around Mr. Hill. Your comments are sick and uncalled for. I suggest you leave and if Mr. Anderson wants to talk to you he will call you. Until then leave him alone. Joey you should not even be here. With a weakened immune system a hospital is not the best place for you to be. Now, both of you leave before I have security escort you out.” Joey grabs his Father and they start to leave. “Tell him I'm sorry,” Joey says to Kurt as they walk out the door.  “Kurt, I believe Blaine asked for you before the sedative took effect so you can go and be with him. I am sure he will rest better with you there.” “Thank you,” Kurt says and heads to Blaine's room.

          “Why did you go to the hospital? I told you to stay away.” Joey tells his Father angrily back at his apartment. “Listen here sonny boy. I'm your Father and you don't get to tell me what to do,” Jack Hill says. “What did you say to upset him?” Joey asks. “I just thanked him for being a donor,” he says with a sly smile. “Fags are just too sensitive I guess,” he laughs as he drinks another beer. “He doesn't want to see you so stay away from him and stop talking about him like that,” Joey warns his Father. “Oh, don't worry about it. I didn't want anything to do with him when he was born and I don't want anything to do with him now.” “How am I so lucky to have a Father like you?” Joey thinks to himself.

          Kurt was sitting next to Blaine and playing with the curls on his head while telling him the news of the day. The sedative is beginning to wear off and Blaine is getting restless. Kurt is trying to keep him calm when he notices Blaine starting to open his eyes. “Kurt,” he whispers. “Hey there,” Kurt said. “How are you feeling? Do you need anything? “He was here wasn't he,” Blaine asks while staring at the ceiling. “Yes,” Kurt answers. “He said he was my Father and I believed him. I couldn't see well and I was confused. I asked him to hug me Kurt, and he did. We hugged Kurt,” Blaine said ashamed as tears filled his eyes. “Listen to me Blaine. We are done worrying about the bad things in our lives for a while. We need to think about us. I want you to tell me about our future. Tell me what it is going to be like and include details. Blaine closes his eyes and says, “First we are going to Graduate at the top of our class from NYADA,” he says slowly. “Then we are going to get marri……….” Blaine is sleeping, with a smile on his face.
