Kurt opened his eyes; he couldnt really remember what happened. His body ached and he could feel a hand holding his.
He gave the hand a squeeze.
"Kurt?" A voice said and he felt his heart skip a beat.
"Blaine?" He said though it came out more like a groan.
"Im here," Blaine replied.
"What happened?" He asked hoping that he might know what happened, he only remembered minor details.
"I dont know, I just found you…," Blaine said and his tone broke his heart. "It was my fault," Blaine continued.
"No it wasnt," he said pushing his eyes open to see Blaine sitting beside him. He looked exhausted, tear streaks stained on his face. "I remember running after you, looking for you in the woods but I couldnt find you so I headed back across the field. There was someone there, and I know for sure that it wasnt you," he replied trying to search his mind for who it was that had attacked him.
"I was the reason that you were there in the first place," Blaine said and tears started to fall onto his cheeks.
"Blaine, dont blame yourself, I dont blame you ok," he said his eyes falling closed. he was so tired.
"I promise Ill find who did this to you," Blaine said and his heart sunk.
"Dont get yourself into trouble," he said feeling himself getting pulled into sleep. He wanted to stay awake but the dark consumed him and he fell into a dreamless sleep.
…..
He opened his eye and looked around. The room was too bright and he squinted waiting for his eyes to get use to the light before opening fully.
"Kurt".
He looked to the left expecting to see Blaine but his dad sat there with sad eyes.
"Hey dad," he said trying to smile but he wasnt sure that it worked.
"How are you doing bud?" His dad asked. He could tell that he had been crying.
"Fine," he said reaching out for his dads hand. He felt a large hand take hold of his.
"Do you remember what happened?" Burt asked and he shook his head.
"Not really," he replied. "Where Blaine?" He asked, he was worried about where he would have gone.
"I dont know, dont care this was his fault," Burt said anger growing in his eyes.
"Dad, this wasnt Blaines fault, did you say something to him?" He said trying to push himself into the sitting position but his body protested so he stayed where he was.
"I was angry," his dad mumbled and he sighed.
"What did you say?" he said looking at him.
"I just push him against the wall and told him that this was his fault, I was mad, you left to go after him and this happened," Burt said placing a kiss on his hand.
"Dad…," he replied.
"Im sorry, Ill apologise when I see him".
"Its not that easy with him dad," Kurt said starting to worry, what if he runs and he never sees him again. If anything this experience has made him realise how much he liked Blaine.
"What do you mean?" Burt frowned.
"Its a long story, I dont think Blaine wants people to know anyway," he said. He wasnt going to tell Burt what had happened without Blaines permission.
"Ok," Burt sighed.
"Ive got to go to work, will you be ok? I can call in sick if you want," he said and he shook his head.
"Im fine, go to work," he replied with a small smile. "I think they are going to let me go later on today".
"Yeah, the doctor said that you didnt sustain that many injuries, which is good," his dad said getting to his feet.
"Yeah, I was lucky," Kurt said.
Burt gave a small nod before walking towards the door. "Ill see you at home, call if you need anything, love you bud," and with that he turned to leave.
He pushed himself up into the sitting position ignoring the dull ache that told him not too. He turned to the bed side table where his phone sat and picked it up, finding Blaine in his contacts. He had added him once he had texted him the first time.
He was about to dial the number when the door to his room opened and Blaine rushed inside closing the door behind him.
"Blaine! I was just about to call you," Kurt said and Blaine looked at him. "Are you ok?" He asked gesturing for him to come closer.
Blaine did what he told him and came towards him slumping down into the chair.
"I was hiding in the waiting room, didnt want your dad to see me, he hates me," Blaine said looking to the ground.
"He told me what he did; he was just angry, hes sorry. He even said that he was going to apologise to you when he sees you," he said trying to reassure him.
Blaine just shook his head looking into his eyes. "Hes your dad Kurt and at the moment Im the only person that he can blame, which is understandable. He wants to protect you and if youre with me, then youre more likely to get hurt, which I why I came to say goodbye," Blaine looked up with tears in his eyes.
"What are you talking about?" he replied.
"I going to go somewhere where I cant hurt people and where people cant hurt me, I cant stay here anymore Kurt," Blaine said tears finally starting to fall down his face.
"Blaine, youre not going anywhere, stay here with me. We will figure something out I promise," he said starting to panic.
Blaine shook his head. "Im sorry, I really like you Kurt but I cant hurt you anymore," Blaine whispered before standing.
"No Blaine, where the hell are you going to go?" He said trying to reach out for Blaine but he took a step out of reach.
"I dont know, Ill just keep walking, hopefully someone will give me a ride and Ill end up somewhere, anywhere but here," Blaine continued.
"I wont let you go," Kurt said simply and Blaine scoffed turning towards the door.
"No Blaine!" He yelled as Blaine started towards the door and opened it.
He panicked and started to pull all of the wires that were attached to his body off, and climbed off the bed running after him.
He ran out into the corridor and after him grabbing his arm.
"Please dont leave," he said and Blaine eyes widened.
"What the hell are you doing out of bed? Just go back Kurt, youre better off without me," Blaine said shoving him off.
"No im not, please," Kurt said feeling tears start to run down his face.
"Mr Hummel what are you doing out of bed?" The nurse that had been looking after him asked but he ignored her and carried on following Blaine.
"Mr Hummel," the nurse said and then a couple of pairs of hand grabbed him stopping from going beyond the doors to the waiting room.
"No, let me go, you dont understand!" He yelled tugging against the arms. He watched Blaine take one last look at him before disappearing from his sight.
"You are going to be released later today, Mr Hummel, we have to give you a check to see if youre ready first," the nurse said softly trying to calm him down.
But he couldnt think, he stopped fighting and let himself be guided back to his room. He just hoped that Blaine would come back; he needed him to come back.
