Next week rolled around, Burt, Carole and Finn where home by now. Burt and Carole where to tired, but Finn wasn't so he jumped into the car and drove to Dalton.
Kurt was singing with the Warblers when Finn burst through the doors
"Finn is everything okay? Is dad and Carole okay?" Kurt started freaking out. Blaine held onto the boy to make sure he if he did pass out he wouldn't hurt himself
Finn ran right into Kurt's arms, "Kurt I can't lose you." Finn started to cry. "I just can't. Who else is going to put Rachel in her place? Who else is going to dress me? We are brothers." Finn was now sobbing. "Please don't leave me Kurt." Finn was still crying and holding on to Kurt for dear life.
"Sh... I'm not going anywhere." Kurt was crying to, "I'm not done here on earth yet."

"Number 5." Jeff shouted running into the choir room
"Sh." Nick said and pointed to Kurt whom was asleep on the couch
"Awe." Jeff said and took a photo
"You know if he ever finds out that you have that photo of him he'll kill you right?" Blaine asked
"Meh." Jeff shrugged
"Guys Wes called a Warbler meeting in his room. We called Quinn to take care of Kurt." David said
"So why we here?" Jeff asked
"We haven't had a chance to talk about Kurt." Wes said, "And that fact that we might lose him. Kurt's like a little brother to me."
"I feel bad for him." Luke said
"The day after Kurt told me, he invite me to join his chemo. It wasn't his first one but I won't forget the fear in his eyes...."
"Hi Kurt!" His nurse greeted him, "And this must be your boyfriend."
"No we're just friends, Anna." Kurt laughed awkwardly
"Blaine Anderson." Blaine said
"Nurse Anna." She smiled, "Alright let's get your IV in."
"Fun." Kurt said, you could see the fear in his eyes. Blaine saw that fear in the older Warbler and took his hand
"I hate needle." Kurt said
"You ready?" Anna asked
"I guess." Kurt closed eyes and tighted the grip on Blaine's hand
"All done." Anna said
"Sorry." Kurt said to Blaine and let go of his hand
"No, It's fine." Blaine smiled, Kurt smiled back
When Blaine was done with the story everyone was crying
"What are we going to do if he gets worse?" Jeff asked
"Take care of him." Blaine said
"It's not going to be easy, there are moments where you just want to help him by making the pain stop and the only way you can do that is by killing him..." Jeff said
"Stop." Blaine cut in, "I will never kill him, I know it's not going to be easy. I hate seeing him in pain, but KILLING him? NO...." Blaine said
"When are you ever going to tell him that you love him? Because we all know he's not going to last long, can't you just give him some kind of happiness before he's gone." Jeff said
"He's not going to die!" Blaine yelled, "He can't." He whispered
"I think we should all just get a goodnight sleep." Wes said. Everyone said their goodbyes and left.
The first thing Kurt notice was he was sleeping on someone's lap on a couch, and there was a blanket on him, "Blaine?"
"No, It's Quinn. How you feeling?" She asked
"Much better than before." Kurt said
"That's good." She smiled and played with his hair. He would of told her not to touched his hair but he didn't care
"What time is it?" He asked
"One." She said
"Shit you're going to get in trouble." Kurt said, but not getting up
"It's fine, Wes told the Dean and she let me."
"Remind me to thank Wes." Kurt said. Quinn laughed
"So how's Rachel." Kurt said
"Oh shut up." Quinn blushed
"Are you ever going to tell her?" Kurt asked
"I don't think she likes me that way, and beside I was a bitch to her last year."
"Please?!?!?!? I need to cross that off my bucket list." Kurt smiled
"Oh. MY. God. Please tell me you're joking." Quinn asked
"Honey does this face look like I'm joking." Kurt made a serious face.
"If we do get together and get married, you can be are planner, I promise." Quinn smiled
"I hope so." Kurt sighed
"Look at me," Kurt looked up at her, "You're not going to die."
"I love you!" Kurt cried
"I love you too!" She kissed his forehead
*
Blaine came down around 3 to see if Quinn and Kurt where still sleeping downstairs. They were, Kurt was asleep and Quinn looked like she was going to fall asleep an minute
"Quinn why don't you go up to my room and sleep. I'm not tired so I'll watch over Kurt." Blaine whispered
"Is your roommate gay?" She asked, "I mean like it don't want the get jump while I'm sleeping and I'm also gay."
Blaine gave a little laugh, "No, he has a boyfriend. You've meet Nick right?"
"Oh yes I have, I didn't know he was your roommate." Quinn said
"So here's mine key, don't worry about a thing I'll take good care of him."
"I know you will." She said lifting Kurt's head off her lap and taking the key. She kissed him goodnight and took off.
Blaine smiled at the beautiful boy in front of him, he sat down beside him and pulled him onto his chest. Blaine fell asleep fast with a big goofy smile on his face.
*
Kurt and Blaine where both blushing when they enter the cafeteria.
Quinn smirked and made her way to the boys
"Have a good sleep boys?" She asked. All the warblers giggled
"Yes I did." Kurt said
"What about you Blaine?" Wes asked
"Very good Wesley." Blaine said
"Well Rachel is coming up to pick me up later today, but in till then let's do number 5 because Jeff won't shut up till we do it." Quinn said
"Sounds like a plan." Kurt grabbed his phone, "Number 5) Water gun fight."
"YES!!!!!" Jeff screamed and jumped into Nick's arms and kissed him. Everyone broke out into laughter
"Hey Kurt!" A boy came up to him. Blaine watched him like a hawk
"Hey Toby." Kurt smiled
"I was wondering if you want to go get some coffee?" He asked with a shy smiled
"I would love to." Kurt smiled. Blaine felt like his heart was ripping out of his body.
Why am I feeling like this? We're just friends. I should be happy for him.
"Blaine?" Quinn's voice brought him back to reality.
"Where's Kurt?" He asked
"He went with Toby." Jeff said
"Who in the world is Toby?" He asked
"Some dude in one of Kurt's class." Wes said
"I don't like him." Blaine muttered Wow where did that come from? Wait is everyone laughing at me? They are, "Why are you guys laughing at me?" Blaine pouted
"Can I punch him?" Luke asked
"For once I like one of your ideas." Nick smiled at him
"Anyway, Kurt will be back later so we can have a water gun fight." Jeff said happy
"Sounds great." Blaine said not so happy.
*
Kurt smiled at Toby as he hopped into Toby's car. Toby took him to get some coffee and a cookie
"You got a nice car." Kurt said
"And you got an ass I'd tap."
"What?"
"So why don't we go back to my place and I'll show you a nice time."
"I think I'm going to walk home." Kurt said. Toby locked the door, "You know I can unlock it right."
"Nope I had that lock taking out." Toby smiled. Kurt looked at the door in fear
"Please let me go." Kurt cried
"Come on pretty boy let me see that ass of yours." Toby kissed him. Kurt pushed him back and smashed the window and ran like a bat out of hell.
His hand was all covered in blood but Toby wasn't anywhere to be found. He pulled out his cellphone and dialed Jeff's number
"Hey Kurtie." Jeff said
"Hey who's there with you?"
"Everyone." Jeff said
"Damn!" Kurt shouted
"Kurt what's wrong? Is everything okay? KURT answer me!!" Jeff yelled
"I need you to pick me up at the coffee shop. Just you and Quinn. Don't tell anyone else where you're going just pick me up."
"On my way." Jeff hung up.
10 minutes they arrivd with Blaine and Nick in the back seat
"I told you just to bring Quinn." Kurt said hopping into the van
Blaine was the first one to see his hand and let out a gasp, "What the fuck happened Kurt!"
"Toby tried to get into my pants and I had to break a window." Kurt shrugged
Jeff slammed on the breaks, "WHAT?" He asked looking at Kurt along with everyone else
"I'm fine." Kurt said, "I guess we'll do number 5 tomorrow."
"It's sad that a real reason you're upset isn't that he almost raped you." Quinn said
"What does she mean?" Blaine asked
Kurt sighed, "I thought for once someone loved me, look at me even if you touch me it leaves a brusie, Have you LOOKED at me? I looked like a crossover between the Pillsburry dough boy and Pinocchio, I talk like Mickey Mouse on LSD and sucking helium, and I have the GAYEST face in Ohio. And they all tell it to me, Blaine, they all tell me I won't be loved. And that if someone finds it in their heart to love me someday, they'll leave me; they say it'll never last Blaine, because I'M NOT GOOD ENOUGH. And they're RIGHT."
"No their not Kurt." Blaine said
"But they are, they always are." Kurt cried into Blaine's side
"Sh..." Blaine rubbed Kurt's back.
Blaine shot Quinn a worried look.
"Just let him fall sleep." She whispered
"Jeff keep driven around, I'll pay for gas." She said
"No need to pay sweetheart." Jeff said
"MINE!" Nick warned
"Possessive much?" Jeff asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Maybe, baby," Nick rhymed and blow him a kiss
"You guys are too cute." Quinn said
"Awe thanks." Jeff blushed
Once Kurt was asleep they made their way back to Dalton. Blaine carried Kurt inside and tucked him into bed. He sighed and walked out of the room to meet up with Quinn
"You okay." She asked
"How can anyone do this to someone as nice and loving as Kurt?" Blaine asked shaking his head
Quinn sighed, "I don't know."
That moment Rachel came running down the halls
"I got your text what's wrong is everything okay? Is Kurt alive?" She asked, eyes filled with fear
"He's fine." Quinn calmed her
"I'm going to eat lunch see you guys sometime soon." Blaine said and left
"Me and Kurt where talking the other day about love," Quinn started, "And everything that's been happing the last month I thought I'd tell her, see I'm gay but she's straight. Kurt told me to talk to her and tell her how a feel."
"Have you?" Rachel asked
"Kinda."
"What do you mean 'Kinda' ?" Rachel asked confused
"Because I just told her, but she doesn't have any idea it's her that I'm talking about." Quinn said
"You mean 'Just' told her, you mean by me?" Rachel asked
"Yea. I get it if you're straight, I'll move on I promise." Quinn said, tears forming in her eyes
"No. Quinn I want to be with you too." Rachel smiled and kissed her.
*
He's slumped over a toilet, tears dripping down his nose and into the bowl as he gags. He should go back to class. Go back to pretending that he's alright, that he's not dying.
Kurt stands shakily and flushes the toilet with a grimace. He leans heavily against the cubicle, trying to calm himself. Then he opens the door and rummages in his bag whilst walking over to the mirror mounted on the wall
He digs out his toothbrush, toothpaste and mouth wash. Six months ago, Kurt would have found what he was doing right now disgusting- who cleans their teeth in a public bathroom?- but now, it's something he has to do. Better that than puke-breath.
Once he's cleaned his teeth and fixed his hair he wipes away stray tears and turns away from the mirror before he has the chance to see just how bad his skin has become, and his hairline which is getting worst.
Kurt knows he doesn't have much time left, and that terrifies him.
Kurt still hasn't told anyone what kind of cancer he has.
He hasn't told Blaine and the others that it's getting harder on him, he doesn't want anyone to worry or anything.
*
"Kurtie wakey wakey." Jeff said jumping on Kurt's bed
"I'm up, I'm up." Kurt tossed a pillow at him
"So water gun fight today?" Jeff asked looking hopeful
"Yes, Jeff." Kurt said. He felt like crap but that's nothing new.
"Oh. My. God." Kurt said walking into Dalton all soaked
Blaine looked over at Kurt, he saw a patch of hair missing from the side of his head, it worried him. He wasn't going to say anything but Luke thought he would
"Shinny." Luke said before poking the spot. Kurt froze, he looked around and sure enough everyone was looking at the spot. He nodded his head and sighed
"I've been styling it so you couldn't see it. It happend a few days ago." Kurt said before taking off.
Wes came up to Luke and hit him in the back of the head, "Idiot."
"Guys leave him alone," Blaine said "And Luke don't do that again. I'm going to check on him." Blaine sighed before taking off to find Kurt. He found him at a piano, he stopped at the doorway and listen to Kurt sing away his feelings.
Don't look at me
Everyday is so wonderful, suddenly, it's hard to breathe
Now and then, I get insecure,
From all the pain, I'm so ashamed,
I am beautiful, no matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful, in evey single way,
Yes words can't bring me donw, no no no,
Don't you bring me down today
To all your friends, you're delirious,
So consumed in all your doom
Tryin hard, to fill the emptiness,
The peice is gone, and the puzzle undone
That's the way it is
Caus you are beautiful, no matter what they say,
Words can't bring you down,
Cause you are beautiful, in every single way,
Yes words can't bring you down, oh no,
So don't you bring me down today
No matter what we do, (no matter what we do),
No matter what they say, (no matter what they say),
When the sun is shining through
Then the clouds won't stay
And everywhere we go, (and evverywhere we go oh)
The sun won't always shine
But tomorrow will find a way
All the other times
We are beautiful no matter what they say
Words won't bring us down
Cause we are beautiful in every single way
Words can't bring us down
Don't you bring me down today
Don't you bring me down today
Don't you bring me down (Mmm) today
Kurt looks down at his lap and lets the tear flow. Blaine whiped away his tears and leaves Kurt alone.
*
"Was it selfish to leave him alone crying?" Blaine asked
"I think he just needed some time alone. I would of done the same thing." Wes said
"I feel so bad for him, I just wished he told me that he was already losing hair." Blaine sighed
"I feel really bad that I said what I said, do you think he'll forgive me?" Luke asked
"Knowing Kurt, you could run over his foot and he'd forgive you." Wes said
"Ain't that the truth." Jeff said.
*
"Okay Warblers Kurt's feeling well enough to do number six, which is?" David asked
Kurt looked down at his phone and blushed, 6) Kiss Blaine.
"Um, can we skip this one." Kurt asked, "And I already got Rachel and Quinn together so number 7's done too."
"Why are we skipping another one?" Nick asked
"Oh, it's just these things would never happen." Kurt sighed
"Come on what's number 7?" Jeff whined.
Kurt sighed and made up a lie, "7) I keep all of my hair."
The room filled with 'sorrys'.
"It's fine, so number eight is, 'Fix the old car in the shop.'"
"Huh?" Went around the room
"I'm a mechanic." Kurt said
"WHAT?" The Warblers asked
"M.E.C.H.A.I.C." Kurt spelled it out
"Kurt Hummel is a mechanic, never thought I'd say that." Nick laughed
"Good God, grow up Nick." Kurt said
"So when did this start?" Wes asked
"Ever since I could walk." Kurt said.
"And you never thought you'd say anything 'bout it?" Blaine asked
"I didn't think it mattered." Kurt shrugged
"It's not anything important but I still like to know stuff about my friends." Blaine said
"I was also a cheerleader." Kurt said. Everyone's jaw dropped but David's
"You guys didn't know?" David asked
"And how did you know?" Wes asked
"Mercedes showed me videos. And I have to say Kurt you looked nice in it." David said, Kurt blushed
"Off to find Mercedes." Jeff said
"No need, Santana posted them on Youtube." David said and opened Youtube up
"Wait what?" Kurt asked with wide eyes.
Kurt hung his head in shame till they stopped watching the videos
"Kurt Hummel wins the football game with a kick." Wes read the title of the next video
"Kurt you played football?" Blaine asked shocked
"Yes, I did Blaine." Kurt said
Wes clicked on the video, by the end of it everyone's jaws where on the floor
"Damn!" Jeff said
"You were great!" Nick said
"Why did you stop?" Blaine asked
"We won that game and it was the first game they won! Want to know how they repaid me? Called me a fairy and threw me in the dumpster! So I quit." said Kurt.
"That's awful." Wes gasped
"That's MicKinley for yal" Kurt laughed
Blaine and Wes looked at each other with worried in their eyes
*
"Okay Warblers ready to fix a car." Kurt said rubbing his hands together
"I guess." David said
"Kurt the cars up there," Blaine said pointing to it on the other side of the room attached to wires sitting on a platform ten feet in the air.
"I know. Wes and Jeff please go get me the ladder from over there." Kurt said pointing to the ladder on the other side of the room
"Yes, Kurtie." Jeff said and dragged Wes over to the ladder, and carried it over to the van
"Okay, Thad you're going to pass me the tools, Blaine and David are going to make sure I won't fall and hurt myself."
"I don't like this idea, what if David and I fail at catching you." Blaine said worried
"Then don't fail." Kurt said climbing the ladder.
"Still don't like this." Blaine thought till he looked up and damn all he could see was Kurt's perfect butt. He had half a mind to tell David to do something else so he wouldn't see Kurt like this because he's only aloud to see that ass - Wait What?. But he knew if Kurt falls he'll need David's help too.
After 2 hours the car was fixed, and the Warblers where soaked with sweat
"I feel so gross." Luke whined
"I know." Wes said
"Big babies." Kurt rolled his eyes
"I am not, take that back Kurtie." Luke whined
"Well let's all go back to Dalton and take some showers." Blaine said.
*
Jeff ran down the halls of Dalton to the cafeteria.
"Warblers." Jeff yelled running into the room crying, everyone shot up.
"Where's Kurt?" Wes asked
"Is he dead?" Luke asked which earned a slap at the back of his head by Thad
"Wait is he?" Thad asked
"Everyone shut up, Jeff what's going on?" Blaine asked in fear of Kurt
"Kurt wasn't in bed when I woke up, so I went looking for him. After 30 minutes of not finding him I checked my voicemail and sure enough Kurt left a message for us, but you're not going to like it." Jeff said
Blaine sighed, "Just play it."
Jeff hit the play button and Kurt's voice came through the phone.
"So Warblers since you guys like to be updated on my health and stuff, I'm just letting you know I'm going home today because I have a test. Sorry I didn't tell you earlier. Bye."
"I'm going to his house, text you guys when I find out stuff." Blaine said and took off
*
When Blaine got into town, Kurt was home. He ran into the house to find Kurt sitting on the couch looking down
He looks up, and his eyes lock with Blaine's, and Blaine knows. He knows he's had it a long time, he knows he's getting sicker, and he knows Kurt wants to cry.
"Blaine." Kurt whispered
"Sh..." Blaine hugged him
"I'm dying, I know it." Kurt cried. Blaine carried him into his bedroom, by the time they got there Kurt as fast asleep, Blaine set him down and went back down stairs
"Is he okay?" Burt asked worried
"Kurt hasn't told me what kind of cancer he has, and how serious it is." Blaine laces his fingers together in his lap, staring down at his socked feet.
Burt sighs, and he suddenly looks so much older than he already is. He looks down at his own hands, then up to Carole, and finally says, "He has Secondary Bone Cancer. I-It spread to his bones from his lung, and there's no treatment that will cure him for good. There's always a possibility that it will come back."
Blaine stares at him, barley able to comprehend what was said. "W-what?"
"Oh, Honey," Carole stands from her spot on the couch and goes to sit next to him, slinging her arm around his shoulders. She pulls him so he's leaning again her, and he appreciates the comfort."He has Chondrosarcoma. It normally occurs in adults, over fourty or something. Doctors find it weird that he has since he's barley twenty," Burt continues, and it looks like he's trying his hardest not to break, and really, Blaine can't blame him. "Basically that means that it takes over his cartilage and the cartilaginous tissue. I-it's in his pelvis right now, but it's spreading, pretty fast. Doctors can't decide if he's going to make it or not;
"Mostly he just feels a lot of pain. He also has a lot of swelling, if you haven't noticed that yet. There's really nothing we can do about that. He's going in tomorrow for an Angiogram. It'll show his blood vessels and see what's going on with those;
"Doctor wants to do surgery to take the tumor out, but even he says it's dangerous since he's so young and because in his pelvis. And it can always come back. He says he wants to start Kurt out of chemotherapy on him sometime next week, but it's not actually certain it'll work. He actually said it's not usually used for his type of cancer, but they want to try everything. After that, he wants to try Radiation Therapy which is commonly used to treat Chondrosarcoma. Regardless of if they cure it, he'll have tons of follow-up treatment."
Blaine sits there, stunned, for what feels like forever. He's aware of the tears building in his eyes and the sniffling besides him. He blindly reaches out to grad her hand and offers it a squeeze. He feels like his whole world is crashing around him, like he's falling through a tunnel and he has no clue when he's going to stop. He's not going to stop, he knows he's not. This is too much for him.
"H-he has extremely high chances that he'll get leukemia."
Tears spill down his cheeks that he doesn't bother wiping away. He knows he won't stop crying for a while, forever maybe. "Do-do they think he'll....make it?"
The room is silent.
"They don't know."
*
"Blaine since it's late you can stay here, but we don't have a spear bed so you're going to sleep with Kurt. I'm trusting you." Burt said
"T- Thank you sir." Blaine said shocked
"Burt, call me Burt." Burt said and went to bed
Blaine tucked into Kurt's side, afraid if he leaves for a minute Kurt would leave forever. Blaine still doesn't understand why he's starting to get these feelings when he's around Kurt, there not bad feelings they're good feelings
*
Kurt wakes up and he knows something isn't right. It's a Saturday, Blaine is still asleep next to him, and his blinds are still closed. He knows Carole and Burt are up already and doing dishes downstairs, so he knows they're fine. Blaine is fine, cuddled into his side.
Then he knows what it is: he feels sick.
He rolls over, away from Blaine, groaning, clutching his side. He doesn't know why it hurts so much, but hell, it does. "Blaine," he gasps through his pain, hoping he'll wake up. "Dad, Carole," he tries a little louder, and Blaine rolls over behind him as he hears footsteps coming up the stairs.
Burt and Carole enter the room just as Blaine sits up and looks and Kurt. "Kurt, what's wrong?" Burt asks, going to his side and kneeling by him. "What is it?"
"My side," he gasps, tears filling his eyes, "hurts."
He throws up, on the front of his dads favorite button-up shirt, and he feels terrible for it, and he promises to buy him a newone, but then he's throwing up again and he can't stop the bile that is raising in his throat.
"Carole, get Blaine out of here," Burt instructs, moving to sit Kurt up so he can breathe better. "Call the doctor."
"No, I need to stay," Blaine fights back, crying at watching Kurt be so sick. "I need to stay with him."
Carole pulls him off the bed, and she's a lot stronger than he looks, and pulls him out of the room. "Sweetie, everything will be okay. You need to stay calm."
"But I need-" Blaine starts.
"No, let Burt and the doctors take care of him. You need to dry your eyes."
Back in the room, Kurt cries through throwing up, hating the taste in his throat and the mess he's making. He hates everything right now: hates that he's sick, hates that he needs his father, hates that he might die but wants to die.
Wants to die.
The thought startles him at first, but he doesn't dwell on it because he feels himself becoming drowsy and everything is becoming blurry and the last thing he hears is knocking at the front door and everything is black.
He wakes up in a bright white room, and wishes he didn't know where he is. On one side, Burt and Carole stand, silently talking with concerned expressions, and on the other Blaine sits in a plastic hospital chair, holding his hand. He grimaces against the light.
He doesn't wait for them to notice he's awake, just asks, "Am I dying?" and begins crying again.
Burt and Carole are at his side, hugging him, and Blaine's head is buried in his stomach, clutching his hand in his and he feels bad for asking but he really wants to know.
"Guys, am I dying?"
"No, Kurt, no," Burt tells him, sternly, as if to convince himself, "You're not. You won't die, not before me."
The door opens, and Kurt pushes them away. "Kurt, you're up. Good, I need to talk to you all," his doctor says, walking into the room.
"Am I dying?" Kurt asks him, because he knows he can't lie to a patient.
The doctor pauses. "We don't know yet."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Blaine finds himself asking, letting his anger surface.
"Have a seat, everyone," the doctor tells them, pulling up one to the end of Kurt's bed. "It's better if you hear this sitting down." He waits until everyone is sitting before continuing. "We found something that we were hoping we wouldn't. We can't explain why Kurt was feeling pain in his side, other than that's where his cancer is;
"His cancer is spreading, faster than we expected it to. We found it in his pelvis, and it's now spread to one of his lungs. We've found new Chondrosarcoma cells in his ribs and chest wall;
"We also found leukemia cells. At this rate, there's a fourty-three percent chance he'll live until next year."
Needless to say no one got any sleep that night
*
"All packed guys?" Burt called from the top of the stairs
"Yes, dad." Kurt called back
A few minutes later Kurt, Blaine, and Finn came running up the stairs
"How many times have I've told you not to run up the stairs." Carole said
"Sorry mom." Finn said
"Sorry Ms. Hummel-Hudson."
"Sorry Carole."
"It's fine, now off to school." She smiled
"I'll see you guys next weekend." Finn hugged Kurt and Blaine
"See you Finn." Kurt said
*
"You don't have to face them today if you don't want to." Blaine said to Kurt
"I don't but when will I ever." Kurt sighed
"You sure?" Blaine asked
"Just opened the door Blaine." Kurt said from his bed
"Okay," Blaine opened the door. The bedroom was full of Warblers looking worried asking questions
"Are you okay?"
"Will you be okay?"
And so on
"Guys!" Kurt yelled, everyone shuted up and looked at Kurt
"Sorry." The Warblers said
"It's fine, and yes I'll be okay." Kurt lied. Blaine raised an eyebrow
"Kurt.." He started
"Fine, I only have a little bit left." Kurt said, all the Warblers gasped
"That's not true." Blaine yelled crying, "You'll gonna make it."
"Blaine there's only a 40 chance that I'll make it another year." Kurt yelled back.
"I'm not going to accpect that." Blaine ran out the door
"Blaine." Kurt tried to run after him but he was to weak
"Kurt lay down, me and David will go after him." Wes said
"It hurts." Kurt cried
"I know, we'll be back soon. As for the rest of you, you guys can go back to your rooms or whatever." Wes said.
Everyone said their goodbye till Nick, Jeff and Kurt where left in the room
"I don't feel so well." Kurt said. Before anyone could say anything he was running into the washroom, Nick and Jeff followed him with worried faces.
"Blaine stop." Wes called after his friend, Blaine slowed down and sat down in a chair
"I'm sorry." Blaine cried
"We understand." David said
"No you don't, you have no idea what it is like to be losing someone you love so much." Blaine snapped
"Then why are you sitting out here instead of helping him, right now he's throwing up everywhere, hurting like hell. Blaine he's dying and it's hurting him and he needs his best friend, his soul mate."
Blaine sighed, "You're right, how is he?"
"He just fell asleep, but Jeff said he was hurting and could only get up to throw up."
"I can't lose him." Blaine said
"I know, I know." Wes hugged him
Kurt woke up freezing cold. He had three blankets on him but he was still cold. He sighed and got up only to find he was halfway bald. He pressed his lips together trying not to cry. He walked over to the bathroom and locked himself in there, he got a razor and shaved the rest of his hair off. He looked down at it and wondered
Would anyone mourn for him? Would anyone cry? Would Blaine?
Kurt stands shakily and walks back into his room. He grabs his coat and sneaks out the window. He just needed to be alone.
Jeff wakes up to find Kurt's bed empty, he sighs and grabs some water and heads to the bathroom only to find Kurt's not there. He starts to panic. He runs over to Blaine's room with hope Kurt will be there. He doesn't knock just run straight in. Blaine shot up worried thinking it would be Kurt, But it was Jeff there panicing, which makes Blaine worry even more.
"Is he okay?" Blaine asked
"I was kinding hoping I would ask you that." Jeff said and makes his way over to his sleeping boyfriend and starts shaking him, "Nick honey time to wake up."
"No." Nick whines and pulls Jeff down with him
"What do mean by that Jeff?" Blaine asked. The worry in his voice made Nick shoot up looking at Jeff
"When I woke up he wasn't in his bed, so I thought he'd be in the bathroom. I got him some water and walked over to the washroom but he wasn't there, all there was, was a razor." Jeff said. Nick and Blaine's eyes shot opened when he said razor
"What do you mean razor?" Blaine asked
"Don't worry, there was no blood, just some hair." Jeff said, Nick and Blaine sighed
"Could off said that." Nick said
"Anyway, I'm going to text all the Warblers to see if anyone has seen him, if they haven't I'm going to text the ND, if they haven't I'm calling the cops." Blaine said taking out his phone.
5 minutes later.
"None one in Dalton has seen him." Blaine sighed
"Text ND." Jeff said
"Just did." Blaine said. Less than 3 minutes they all texted back saying they haven't seen him.
"That's it!" Blaine slammed the desk, "I'm going to find him myself."
"Blaine!" Wes ran into the room
"Yes Wesley?" Blaine asked
"Trent found him at the police station." Wes said, before he could blink Blaine was out the door. They all chased after him
Blaine ran into the police station followed by his friends, what stood before him came to utter shock. Right there is best friend, covered in bruises and cuts with a hat on.
"What happed?" Blaine asked running over to him
"I was climbing out of my window and I fell." Kurt shurgged
"What were you thinking? That's aleast 3 storys high, you could of killed youself," Blaine's eyes widen, "Please tell you weren't?"
"No, I was just going out to get some fresh air, it's not easy waking up to find most of your hair gone?" Kurt said.
"Most?" Trent asked
"I shaved the rest off." Kurt said showing them his bald head, letting a few tears hit the ground underneath him. The warblers gasped as they saw his head
"That's why there was a razor on the desk." Jeff said
"Yea." Kurt said
"Well boys he's all yours." The sheriff said
"Thank you." Blaine said.
As they were walking out the doors the ND ran into them.
"Kurt!" They hugged him, Kurt hissed in pain
"Sorry."
"It's fine, why don't we go and get some ice cream?" Kurt said
"White boy that the hell happened? And take this ugly hat off." Mercedce grabbed the hat and ripped it off of Kurt. Everyone's eyes widen once they saw what Kurt was trying to hind under the awful hat.
"I fell out of a tree." Kurt laughed awkwardly
"Ouch." Finn said
"Didn't really hurt that much."
"You're body says something else, holy how high was the tree?" Quinn asked looking at the cuts
"Three flipping stories." Blaine said
"WHAT?" Rachel yelled
"Hey look I'm alive." Kurt said waving his hands everywhere
"Thankfuly." Blaine muttered
"ICE CREAM!!!" Jeff yelled
Everyone looks at each other with big grins
"ICE CREAM ICE CREAM, I SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM." They all sang before breaking off into laughter
"Let's goooooooo." Brittany sang.
It's been 3 days since Kurt has lost all of his hair. He has stop singing, dancing, and just plain taking. He just sits in his room looking through pictures of his family and friends. Jeff who shares the save room for God sakes hasn't even seen Kurt in two days. Blaine hasn't been at school so he has no idea that it's getting this hard for Kurt. Sure they text, but Kurt always says the same thing 'I'm fine'.
The Warblers and getting really scared and worried, so they call up Blaine, someone they know could help. Not even Quinn can do the trick.
"Is Kurt alright?" Blaine yells through the phone right when he picks it up, of course
A sigh, "I don't know Blaine."
"Is he in the hospital?" Blaine asked
"No, he's just not singing or anything, no one has seen him for 2 days Blaine! Not even Jeff." Wes cries
"I've been texting him for the last two days, he says he's doing great."
"Well he's not, we need you Blaine. I know you have two more days till you're coming home from your partens, but we need you, he needs you."
"Do you think it's because he lost all of his hair? Because he still looks great." Blaine asks
"I know! He looks hot even without hair, I'm like so jealous, But yeah I think it is."
"I got a plan."
Come down to the court yard- B
...Okay- K
"Okay Warblers he's coming." Blaine grins.
Not even 1 minute later Kurt was standing in front of the Warblers crying
"But.... You guys..... What?"
"You don't like it?" Blaine asks teasing
"You guys are the best. I love you!" Kurt hugged his bald groups of idiots.
"They shaved they heads." Kurt cries through the phone
"Aweee." The girls said
"I want to do yell at them, but I just can't seem too." Kurt laughs
"So how you feeling?" Tina asks
"In a lot of pain, nothing new." Kurt shrugged but remembered they can't see him
"Have you told the Dean how bad it has gotten?" Santana asks
"Yeah, he's the only one."
"You should tell them." Quinn says
"I don't know. I don't want any pity."
"Yeah, but you need someone to help you." Rachel pointed out
"True." Kurt sighs, "Fine I'll tell them."
"Okay, line up please." Wes said to the Warblers
Kurt in between David and Jeff.
Half way through the song Kurt started feeling dizzy and tired, Kurt began to lose his balance and he started falling over. David saw that Kurt was losing it. Kurt just slumped boneless and the other boy had to act quickly to stop him from crashing to the floor.
"Kurt, Kurt! Can you hear me? Its David, I've got you. Are you all right?"
"I'm fine. Just lost my footing." Kurt said
"Somehow I don't believe you." Blaine said
"Fine, I'm getting worse. You happy?" Kurt snapped
"No, I'm not fucking happy Kurt!" Everyone flinched
"I'm sorry." Kurt started to shake.
Blaine wrapped him arms around Kurt and whispered into Kurt's ear, "I'm sorry."
"It's fine." Kurt gave a weak smile to Blaine, then started laughing
"What?" Blaine asked confused
"I forgot to tell Puck and Mike that you have no hair." Kurt said in between giggles
"So?"
"I ordered them to steal all your hair gel, It was next on my list." Kurt said. Everyone started laughing.
Hero. That's what Kurt wants to be, he wants to be remember for something other than the battle that he's losing from cancer.
Something other than what he's doing right now, cause leaning over the toilet won't get you anywhere.
He wants to save his dad from losing the last family member blood related to him.
But he can't, he's not a hero, he's just another gay kid dying from the inside out.
He knows he should go tell the Warblers who watched him flee the room to throw up, that he's okay, but what's the point of lying? Maybe to make yourself believe it's going to be okay? Can you make yourself believe when you know it's over, when it gets so hard to breathe.
"Kurt!" Blaine and Jeff come running into the washroom
"I'm fine."
"Kurt open the stall door." Blaine said
"No, I don't want you to see me like this."
"Fine then I'm coming in." Jeff said
Kurt sighed and opened the door for Jeff.
"No." Kurt said to Blaine and shut the door in his face.
"Come on Kurt." Blaine whined
"Blaine go tell the rest of them that Kurt's fine." Jeff said
"But-"
"Now, Blaine." Jeff cut of Blaine
"Well is he fine?" Blaine asked
"I have cancer and it fucking hurts to move right now, what do you think?" Kurt asked a little harsh
"What do I think?" Blaine laughed, "I think the person I care about the most, is hurting and I can't do jack shit about it." Blaine yelled
Kurt let out a little sob, he opened the door and ran into Blaine's arms making them both fall to the ground crying.
"I'll go tell the guys what's going on." Jeff said awkwardly and left.
"I'm so sorry." Kurt cried into Blaine's chest
"Sh. It's okay. I'm sorry to. I wish I could help you." Blaine said
Kurt lift up his head and looked into Blaine's eyes, "You've helped more than you think."
Both boys where lost in each other eyes, they started to get closer, lips almost touching when Jeff burst through the door.
"Oh...Um....Bye." Jeff blushed running out of the washroom.
Kurt stood up, "Um. So I guess I'll see you later." And with that he left.
"Yeah I guess." Blaine sighed.
Jeff ran back into the room with the Warbler's blushing.
"Care to share what made you blush?" Nick asked, "Cause last time I checked I'm the only one aloud to."
"Awe, does someone have hots for Jeffery." Thad teased.
"If they do, they'll have to go through me." Nick glared at Thad then Jeffery
"What did I do?" Jeff asked, "Anyway. When I was going to check on Kurt and Blaine, and when I opened to door they were inches apart from each other lips."
"Really?" Wes grinned
"I'm back." Jeff yelled to his empty room "Kurt?" Jeff yelled
He walked over to the washroom, which was empty.
He checked the time. 10:30PM. So he should be here.
"Kurt?" He called again. Still no answer.
He walked over to the window, which was opened.
Jeff sighed, "Of course."
He picked up his cell phone and called the cops.
"Hello how may I help you?"
"My roomate Kurt Hummel is missing."
"Your name please."
"Jeff Sterling."
"Okay. How old is Kurt?"
"He's sixteen."
"Okay. We'll call you back as soon and we find some information."
"Okay. Thank you." Jeff hung up, and waited.
Five minutes later they called him back telling him he was in the hospital.
Jeff quickly got is stuff and ran out of his room to his van
"Jeff?" A sleepy voice came from behind him, but he didn't stop running.
"What to fuck? JEFF!" The owner on the voice starting runningafter him. But Jeff still didn't stop.
He jumped into the van, but other man was quick and hopped in before Jeff could slam on the gas
"Jeff?" The man asked worried
"I can't talk now. Buckle up and hang on." Jeff said slamming on the gas. The man didn't say anything he just listened to Jeff and stayed quit.
Jeff hopped out of the van and ran up to a house knocking on the door.
"Why are we at Quinn's?" He asked
"Hey what's up?" Rachel asked
"I need you and your lover to get into my van, we're going to the hospital." Jeff said
Blaine was worried now. "Is he okay?"
"Blaine clam down. I don't know, okay! I don't know!" Jeff sighed crying into his hands. A few minutes later Rachel and Quinn came running down the stairs.
Quinn takes one look at Jeff and knows it's not the time to ask questions.
Once they arrivd at Kurt's door, Blaine couldn't take it anymore and burst in and ran straight to Kurt and kissed him.
There were no fireworks, but he didn't expect there to be. It just felt right, then Kurt started kissing back and his legs felt like they were gonna give out any minute now.
But Kurt pulled back with regert/love/hurt in his eyes. And it felt like a knive to the heart.
"I'm so sorry." Kurt cried, "I can't."
And that's when Blaine lost it.
"What do you mean you can't. You kissed me back, that ment something." Blaine yelled as Jeff held him back
"I did mean something Blaine! It ment the world to me! But we both know you can't love me." Kurt cried
"Why? Why can't I love you? Huh Kurt?" Blaine yelled
"Because losing someone you love is harden then losing your friend." Kurt cried. And just like that the room was silent. No one thought about that. But why would they?
"Please just give us a chance, please." Blaine begged
"It's the end, Blaine. It's time to let go. Please let go." Kurt whispered
"No! You can't leave! Please, I love you Kurt." Blaine cried
"Due me a favor, go to my house and on my phone cross of number 2 for me." Kurt whispered his last words, to his one true love.
Blaine did as told, once he found Kurt's phone he went into notes and clicked bucket list
2) Fall in love <3
Blaine look at it with tears falling down his face. He checked it off.
Ten years later
Quinn and Rachel got married two years later. They didn't have a wedding, Quinn couldn't, she promised Kurt, and she would never break that promise. Rachel understood. They have two kids, a girl and boy, they show them photos of Kurt and videos of him singing, telling them that he was a hero, which he was, a hero in his own way.
Puck never understood why people die, he never understood why it had to be Kurt out of all the people, but he understood the meaning of life, of happiness and joy, to other people Kurt Hummel was 'just other gay guy', but to Puck and his friends he was a fighter, a hero. And till Puck dies he'll always carring the name Kurt Hummel around with pride, because Kurt was the best friend anyone could ask for.
The Hummel- Hudson family, Never got the meaning of Love, and why it hurt's to let go of someone, Burt had lost his wife and son, but he cared for them like no one else, without them he would never had a son like Kurt, or moved on and got a new family without Kurt. Kurt was a hero to them, a hero that fought till the end. 10 years later they still call Kurt a part of their family, their lives. Kurt never got to see Finn's wife or daughter, but they know who he is and what he stood for. Carole always thought of Kurt as a son, she never thought of him as anything else.
Mr. Schue and Emma, vist Kurt everyone 5 of September, that was the day he joined Glee, the day he found a place in the world
Everyone close to Kurt kept a place in their hearts to him. He was a true friend. Hero, and lover.
