Kurt awoke with a start when Mr Anderson touched his shoulder. Good Morning Kurt stammered out as he climbed out of the chair he had slept in. Take it easy Kurt you can stay seated. How is he doing choked out Mr Anderson while looking at his son’s peaceful body laying on the bed. No change sir but hes comfortable for now said Kurt. They have him on meds to keep him asleep so his brain can heal but he can hear us when we talk to him and he responds lightly to touch. They are optimistically hopeful that he may recover but its up to him to fight his way back said Kurt. He is doing fine for now. We have to wait and see. I will be here beside this bed when he wakes up in a few days said Kurt. That’s fine Kurt but right now you need a break go home and shower, eat and get some good sleep said Ken. I will stay with Blaine if anything should change I will call you first now please go said Ken. Alright but I will be back in a couple hours said Kurt.

Kurt stood up and walked to the bed and gently lifted Blaine’s left hand and kissed the fingers lightly. Blaine your dad is here so I’m gonna leave for a little while and go eat. I will be back real soon. (leaning in close to Blaine’s battered and bruised face) I love you Blaine and no matter what I will always be right here with you said Kurt. Kurt places a soft kiss on Blaine’s unbandaged cheek. Blaine moved his fingers in Kurt’s hand ever so slightly causing Kurt to jump back.

What is it Kurt. What just happened asked Mr Anderson abruptly. Kurt turned and smiled and said calmly. Blaine moved his thumb into my palm is all. Kurt’s outside appeared calm but inside he was screaming and doing a dance. Blaine was still here somewhere he moved his thumb.

That is amazing Kurt. He is gonna be fine. Now please go home and rest. Oh and your brother is planning something for you later today. So please go now. I will watch Blaine for you smiled Mr Anderson.

Okay sure. I will be back around 2pm Kurt replied while looking at his phone. He realized it was just after 8am and he hadn’t eaten anything since breakfast the day before. The day before Kurt thought while walking down the hospital hallway had it really only been yesterday. It seemed like it had been longer ago than that. After a quick stop to the restroom Kurt was now standing in front of the elevator watching the numbers tick up to the 6th floor. While waiting his mind flashed back over his and Blaines relationship. He thought about seeing Blaine graduate from Mckinley High School. He remembered Blaine’s arrival to New York for college. The sudden ding and doors opening snapped Kurt out of his daydreams. He entered the elevator and pushed the button for the ground floor. The ride down only lasted a few seconds but it was long enough for Kurt’s mind to wander and it wandered back to his days at Dalton Academy. The time he spent there with the Warblers and with Blaine. He thought back to the legendary Gap Attack and how sad Blaine was after Jeremiah had so coldly rejected him. Kurt also remembered how foolish he felt when he thought Blaine was gonna serenade him but that was behind them now and they were together and had been since the weekend before Regionals that year. Now some 4 years later look at where they were a hospital with poor Blaine fighting for his life. The only lingering thought Kurt has is who did this and why.

The elevator swings open and Kurt heads for the parking lot to find where Blaine’s car is parked. Thankfully Blaine has an alarm system on his car so it wasn’t too hard to locate. Now to head home and find out what Finn is up to. Kurt shudders at that thought and says aloud this should be good knowing Finn.

Kurt had no idea how wrong he would be.
