“Carole, who was driving the car?” Kurt asked, ignoring the rest of what his step mother said to him.

“Some young boy was wheeled in with him but I didn’t recognize him. They were trying to revive him but it didn’t look good.”

“Did he have dark brown hair and was about as tall as me?”

Carole seemed to ponder the question for a few seconds before responding. “I believe so. Do you know who it is?”

“Sebastian Smythe.” He breathed out. Soon he was off the bed and throwing on the first pair of shoes he saw and was out the door lightning speed. Whipping open the door to Finn’s room the other boy looked up from his tv screen quizzically.

“Woah dude, what’s wrong?”

“You need to drive me to the hospital. Now.”

“Why? What happened? Kurt, what’s wrong?” Finn was standing in front of him with a worried face.

“I’ll tell you when we’re on our way, let’s just go!” Kurt turned and dashed down the stairs and tuned back into his conversation with Carole over his phone.
“Carole, Finn’s driving me now. Who should I ask for when I get to the hospital?”

“Emily and Michael are here now, so you’ll see them in the waiting room. They’re expecting you.”

“Okay Carole, I’ll see you soon.” Kurt hung up and was climbing into the passenger seat of his car and Finn was getting behind the wheel. Soon they were speeding as fast as they could towards the hospital, halfway there Finn asked Kurt what was wrong.

“It’s Blaine.” He let out a breath. “I don’t know everything but he was in a car accident and Finn, the last time I saw him he was running out of the theater crying. Oh my god. What if this is my fault? He wouldn’t have been in the car with Sebastian if James didn’t kiss me. Oh god.”

“Dude, calm down. This isn’t your fault and don’t you dare think that. But wait, he was in the car with Sebastian? How the hell did that happen?”

Kurt was silent. He really didn’t know how it happened, he just knew that it could have been prevented if it weren’t for him going off with James and letting himself be kissed.

“Kurt, I know what’s going through your head and I swear, if you start blaming yourself I will never forgive you. Ever. This. Is. Not. Your. Fault. I’m sure that Blaine would be saying the same thing right now too.” Finn pulled into the first parking space he saw and Kurt was out of the car in a flash, racing towards the emergency room doors.

Bursting through the doors he looked around and spotted Emily and Michael Anderson pacing around the waiting room. Hurrying towards them he fell into Emily’s comforting arms.

“Where is he? What’s wrong with him? Will he be okay?”

“Kurt honey, slow down. He’s in his room with the doctors right now. We’ll be able to see him in a few minutes, just sit down with me.” Emily brought him to a row of empty chairs in the corner of the room.

“What happened?” Kurt asked again in a small voice.

Michael sat down on his other side and rubbed his back.
“Sebastian was driving and the car went into the tree. Sebastian got the worst end, and Blaine was saved by his seat belt and the air bag.”

Kurt recounted what Michael Anderson said to him. What had happened to Sebastian? “What about Sebastian? Where’s he?”

“Oh sweetie, was he a friend of yours?”

“Not at all.” Kurt let out a little laugh. “In fact he’s trying to break Blaine and I up. He’s a horrible person.”

“Well Kurt, Sebastian went in for surgery and he died about 10 minutes ago on the table.”

“Sebastian’s dead?” Kurt whispered. Sure he didn’t like the boy, but did he want him dead? Absolutely not. This was all James’ fault. “Emily, do you have your cell phone on you?”

“Of course sweetie, what do you need it for?”

“I need to make a phone call. It’s important, and I left mine at home.” Emily handed over her cell phone and Kurt walked out the doors of the hospital to the small garden they had. Sitting down on the stone bench, Kurt dialed the one number he wished he could forget but hasn’t.

“Hello?” James picked up.

“James, if you know what’s good for you, you would get your ass to the hospital right now. This is all your fault.”

“Wait, Kurt? Why the hospital? What happened?”

“Just get here now.” Kurt hung up the phone and took a deep breath before heading back towards the waiting room inside. Finn had found the Anderson’s and was sitting with them getting the same explanation Kurt received.

“Kurt sweetie, we can go in and see Blaine now if you would like?” Emily told him as she took back her phone.
Kurt just nodded his head and followed his boyfriend’s parents into a room off the hallway. Blaine was lying in the bed and was connected to so many machines. The sight reminded Kurt of when his mom was in the hospital and then later his dad after his heart attack. Kurt hated hospitals, but he knew he had to be there. Blaine’s head was down and his eyes were closed. He didn’t know what was happening. As Kurt reached the bed the doctor came into the room behind the group.

“Hi there, you must be Mr. and Mrs. Anderson, I’m Dr. Grainger.” Dr. Grainger looked around the room and his gaze fell on Kurt. “Who’s the young boy?”

“That would be our son’s boyfriend Kurt Hummel. I hope that’s not a problem.” Michael told the doctor.

“Of course not, I just need to inform the nurses. Now, as you can see your son Blaine is still unconscious and is in a medically induced coma. He has 3 fractured ribs and a broken arm. He should wake up in about an hour or two. He’ll need to stay under our care for a couple days just so we can see that everything is healing correctly.” The doctor’s pager went off and he glanced down at it. “I’m sorry, but I need to attend to another patient at the moment. If you need anything let a nurse know and she will find me.” With that he walked out the room.

The whole time the doctor was speaking, Kurt had been watching Blaine. It was much like his father’s heart attack in the way that Blaine wasn’t moving or making sounds and it barely looked like he was breathing. The sight scared Kurt, but he was thankful that Blaine would live to see another day. “Kurt sweetie, we’re going down to the cafeteria to grab a cup of coffee and then come back up and wait. We will give you two a few minutes alone.” Emily and Michael exited the room and Kurt sunk down into the chair that was next to the bed.

“Blaine honey, I don’t know if you can hear me, but I need you to know that you need to get better. I can’t live without you. I know you saw James kiss me and you should know that I slapped him. He made the move on me and told me he loved me. Blaine, you’re the only person I ever want to be with. I love you so much that it hurts and scares me.”

“Is it normal for someone to feel this attached to another person at such a young age? I don’t know, but I don’t care. I know you’re the one for me and I will never leave your side. I’m so sorry Blaine. I just need you to wake up. Please.” Kurt’s hand found Blaine’s cold one halfway through his speech and his face was tear stained. He didn’t even notice when he started crying.

Kurt sat at Blaine’s bedside for what felt like hours, but must have only been minutes before he heard a commotion outside in the waiting room.

“James, what the hell are you doing here?” Finn’s booming voice could be heard from miles away. Kurt got up quickly and rushed out of the room and was faced with the sight of his step brother and ex best friend standing in front of one another.

“Finn, I told him to come. I needed to talk to him face to face.” Kurt said surprising himself with the strength behind his words.

James turned and looked at him then and walked towards him. “Stop, don’t come any closer or God help you James.” Kurt told him.

“Kurt, what’s wrong?” James asked reaching out for him.
Kurt flinched back. “This is all your fault.”

“What’s my fault?” James looked dumbstruck. “Kurt, what happened?”

“Blaine is in a coma with a broken arm and ribs and Sebastian is dead. ALL BECAUSE OF YOU.” Kurt screamed out the end of his sentence, gaining looks from all around the room.

James’ face fell and he almost collapsed. “Sebastian, is dead?” Kurt could barely hear him, but he did.

“Yes. If you hadn’t kissed me, Blaine wouldn’t have run into Sebastian’s arms and wouldn’t have gotten into the car with him. Sebastian wouldn’t have been driving the way he did. This. Is. All. Your. Fault.”

Kurt saw tears running down James’ face. “I only did that for Sebastian. Kurt, I don’t love you. I never have, I’ve only ever loved Sebastian. The only reason I did this was for him. He wanted Blaine and the easiest way for him to get him involved me. I’m sorry. I’m so fucking sorry.”

“James. Just go. There’s nothing more you can do. Leave, and don’t come back. Please don’t come back.”

Kurt watched James’ retreating figure walk out the door and when he was sure that the other boy had left, he returned to his boyfriends side.

“Blaine baby, please. Please wake up. I need you.” Kurt couldn’t even feel anything anymore. Nothing at all.
