Unconventional Prince Charming
Chapter 17
AN: Yay! Kurt is finally free from Jade.
Kurt woke up slowly to the sound of a heart monitor beeping rhythmically beside his bed. He blinked his eyes open to find an aging man in flannel and a baseball cap sitting beside his bed with his hand held tightly between his own. “Dad?” Kurt croaked out. Burt was immediately out of his chair and flapping his hand uselessly over his body.
“Kurt! I've been so worried.”
“What happened?” Kurt asked groggily.
“Apparently you got into a fight.” Burt growled out an answer.
Kurt groaned at the tone of his fathers voice, knowing that any minute now he was going to explode.
“What the hell were you thinking Kurt!”
And here we go.
“You have never been one to condone violence and now your hanging out with a delinquent and learning to box and now getting into a fight!”
“Don't blame this on Blaine!”
“And why the hell not! You were the perfect boy until he came along!”
“Dad, it's not Blaine's fault!”
“Enough! I'm tired of you defending that delinquent! You are not to see that boy anymore and he's officially out of the house. End of discussion.”
“Are you not even going to listen to my side of the story?”
“I think I've heard enough from you. Now I'm going to get the nurse and when I get back I don't want to hear anymore about it. Do you understand me?”
“Yes sir.” Kurt replied angrily.
Burt nodded before leaving the room.
Kurt lay sulking in his bed as his dad left the room. If he wasn't aloud to speak with Blaine anymore than he wouldn't talk to his father either. Not until he listened to Kurt's side of the story. The thought of not being with Blaine anymore broke his heart and the thought of him back at that damn gym broke it even anymore. He swore to himself right then and there that he would get Blaine back.
Burt returned a few minutes later with a short, cute, blonde hair girl wearing pink scrubs in tow. She hurried to his bedside and started checking his fluids. She soon excused herself to go find the doctor.
In the meantime Burt sat in the chair next to Kurt's bed and Kurt turned his head away. He heard Burt sigh beside him. “Don't be mad at me kiddo. I'm only trying to protect you because I love you.”
Kurt was saved from answering since the doctor came in.
He spent about ten minutes with them informing them of Kurt's condition and the length of time he would have to stay. Apparently he had gotten some internal bleeding from all of the punches and kicks that Jade threw into his stomach so he was expected to stay for at least a few days. He excused himself afterwards sitting the need to see other patients. The nurse stayed long enough to administer some medicine before saying that dinner would be served soon before leaving the room.
The room was filled with silence once more when the nurse left the room. Burt sighed as he got up from his seat. “I'm heading to the house to give them the good news of you being awake. Would you like me to grab you something?”
Kurt stayed silence.
“Come on Kurt…”
“I don't want anything from you dad.” Kurt retorted with a raised voice. Burt stormed out of the room.
The nurse returned with his dinner and asked after his father. He just told her he'd be back in a little while. She shrugged as she sat up a tray in his lap before leaving the room once more. He ate a few bites before pushing the tray away and closing his eyes to go back to sleep. The nurse came back a few minutes later and took the tray from the bed and placed it on the bedside table in case he wanted it later.
Kurt was woken up about an hour later by someone calling his name. He blinked his eyes open to find Finn staring down at him with a dopey grin on his face. Kurt groaned as he sat up in bed. “Hey Finn.”
“Hey dude, how you feeling?”
“I've been better.” Kurt said with a laugh.
Finn just nodded.
“Have you heard from Blaine?”
Finn shook his head. “Sorry dude.”
“Did you tell my dad about Jade?”
“Blaine asked us not to. He felt that you should be the one to tell him because he might not believe us since he was so hell bent on blaming Blaine.”
“He's not listening to me right now either.” Kurt said with a sigh.
“He kicked Blaine out of the house you know.”
“I know.” Kurt said angrily.
“You need to tell him about everything Kurt.”
“He's not listening to me right now!”
“Make him.”
Kurt was interrupted from replying by Carole flying into the room with Burt on her heels. She ran up to the bed and started waving his hands over him uselessly. “Oh you poor baby! How are you feeling?”
“I'm fine Carole.”
“Have you eaten yet because I brought you one of your favorite salads.”
“Thank you Carole but I have already eaten.”
“We also brought you some books and some of your magazines.” Burt added as he dumped them on the chair beside his bed.
“Oh Kurt, how did this happen?”
“Its' funny you should ask because actually….”
“I'm sorry guys but visiting hours are over. You can return tomorrow morning, but I must ask you to leave now.” The nurse informed them coming as she came back into the room.
“Later dude.” Finn said leaving the room.
“We'll be back first thing tomorrow morning sweetie. Please eat.” Carole said before leaving the room.
Burt stood there awkwardly at the foot of the bed. He wasn't used to fighting with his son so he didn't know what to say at the moment. “Night kiddo, I love you.” He decided to say before leaving the room.
The nurse made her way into the room checking his vitals , grabbing the food from his bedside table and leaving the remote to the TV in his reach before leaving the room, shutting the door on her way out.
Kurt let all of the stress of the day wash over him as tears rushed down his face and a sob broke out. He hated fighting with his dad. He loved his dad. Burt was his world, had been forever, but Blaine also meant a lot to him and he wasn't ready to let him go. He would make his dad see that what happened wasn't Blaine's fault.
