Kurt Hummel had always been an odd kid. He didnt ever want to play with the others. He didnt want the same toys or clothes. He didnt ever eat with them. He kept himself to himself, and surprisingly, this made him stand out. 

For a while it was fine, he could get away with being quiet and not interacting and no one minded. When he moved up to high school though, everything changed. 

He came out in his first year. His dad, Burt Hummel, and mum, Elizabeth Hummel, had been supportive. They told him they loved him and it didnt matter to them. 

The people at school thought otherwise. He was bullied for being gay, thrown into dumpsters, pushed, shoved, his stuff was stolen and vandalised far too often; he was bullied for being on the .. Well, chubby side. His flamboyant dress code, chubby cheeks and product filled hair was something they loved to tease him about.
One day it became too much. 

Hed been eating one of the schools burgers and fries when a jock came up to him and started shoving him around, calling him fat. Kurts friend Mercedes tried to help but couldnt. Hed bolted it to the toilets, locking himself in a cubicle and dropping to his knees. Hed seen a film a few weeks ago in which one of the characters made herself sick after eating so she wouldnt put on weight. Without a second thought, two fingers were shoved down his throat and his lunch ended in the toilet. 

Months went by, weight dropping off easily. Hed restricted himself to only eating dinners and purging it all up. 

Mercedes had noticed a change in Kurt. Shed noticed the weight dropping off. Shed noticed how pale he was getting.  Shed noticed how he never ate. 

It was a Thursday night when it happened, when everything changed for good. Kurt had been preparing for regionals. learning lyrics had kicked off the glee session, and to end, dance rehearsals. 

It was half way through the dance rehearsal when he got dizzy. His hunger took over, everything went black. His world stopped and he came tumbling down. 

Two hours later, he was woken up in a hospital bed, wires flowing in and out of his arms, his mum and dad by his side. The stench of sterile sheets flitted his nostrils. 

The doctors had figured it out instantly. Teenage boy loses weight quickly, cuts himself off even more, collapses.  Theyd explained it to his parents and held their hands as they broke down; their son was killing himself and they didnt know. 

Before Kurt had woken up it had been decided that hed be sent away. It was only for a few months, but he was going. 

The green fields rehab centre only took in teens that had no other choice.

This was it. 

Kurt Hummel was going to rehab.
