I Know it's You. Do You Know it's Me?

Chapter 3: Strike Three, You're Out;

___________________________________________________

Kurt Hummel was mad at the Universe.

He was mad at fate.
He was mad at everyone (bar his dad) in the world.

See, Kurt Hummel is now 16 years old.
The year when your voice is then permanent.
The year when you can start looking for your soulmate.

Kurt's voice has gotten the smallest bit deeper, only he noticed.
But, that's it.

He feels that he sounds like girl.
So does everyone around him.

He came out to his father this year.
He felt that because it was his time to start looking he better let his Dad know that he can tell that his soulmate is a boy.

Burt Hummel was, thankfully, fine with it.

It's a crazy world in Sophmore year when somepeople have turned 16.
Sometimes girls would see Kurt pass by and stare into his eyes or brush his hand with hers or whisper her name when she walks by him.
He didn't mind it, he'd just smile sadly and walk away.

His new best friend, Mercedes Jones, admitted that she felt a tiny spark when she looked into his eyes.
When he infromed her of his sexuality, she was dissapointed but she dealed with it by being independent.

The problem lies for Kurt with Finn Hudson.

You see, sometimes, personality traits can be similiar to your soulmate's.
Kurt felt a small spark one day when Finn had been brave and tried to stop Noah Puckerman from bullying Kurt.

He thought he had found his soulmate.

Kurt had turned into one of those girls, he'd raise his voice when Finn walked in the room for Glee practice.
He'd constantly try to catch his gaze.
He'd 'accidently' swing his arm out too far, so his hand would hit Finn's, during Glee practice.

He longed for Finn to defend him again, so he could feel that spark.

He felt like ripping up his notebook and apologizing for the Universe because this tiny spark made him feel more alive than he's ever felt.

One problem;

He feels like Finn barely knows he exsists.

He needed to introduce Burt to Carole Hudson, so they can bond over having dead spouses and hopefully bring him and Finn closer than ever, so Finn would finally see.

He accompanied his father to his Parent Teacher meeting, he felt particularly confident that this would work wonderfully.

He spotted Carole Hudson. His plan was falling into place.
He brought his Dad over to her and introduced them to each other.

The unthinkable happened.

They were staring at each other.

They both reached out to hold hands.

And then, you guessed it, they kissed.

THEY KISSED.

Kurt had never been so hurt or angry or confused in his life.
What about Mom?
What about soulmates?
What about forever?

He pulled his Dad away and out into the hallway, demanding for an explanation.
Apparently his parents forgot to tell him that if his soulmate was to die, he'd get a new one.

Kurt didn't know what to say, he told his Dad he'd go for a walk and see him when the meeting was over.

When he was walking, his mind was full of thoughts;
Does this mean that my soulmate is the son of my Dad's soulmate?
Does this mean Carole Hudson will be my stepmom?
Does this mean my mom means nothing to my dad?
Does this mean my step-brother is my soulmate?

Does this mean Finn isn't my soulmate?

Kurt realized that this couldn't be right.
Finn couldn't be his soulmate.

They didn't gaze into each others eyes.
They didn't hold hands and feel a spark.
They didn't kiss.

Kurt had never felt so stupid in his life.

He heard Finn talk about that annoying Rachel girl, saying she was almost completely like his soulmate but he knew she wasn't.
He chose to ignore it.

Kurt was so lost in thought that he didn't look where he was going and he ran into a wall or something.

A wall that moves.
A human wall.
A wall that goes by the name Dave Karofsky.

Kurt had seen him before, Kurt had seen a lot of guys before, none gave him a hint that he was his soulmate.
Karofsky was one of Kurt's main bullies.
He tossed him in dumpsters.
He left him notes in his locker telling him he had no soul and therefore, no soulmate.
He threw slushies in his face.

Kurt was terrified of him.

So he turned around and ran away.
He didn't see when Dave tried to make eye contact.
He didn't see Dave watch him run away.
He didn't see Dave's eyes trail along his body like a hungry animal.
He didn't see because he didn't feel any spark, even from hitting off him and being so close to him.

He just ran and sat in his Dad's car.

He took out his notebook from his bag and wrote down all that day's events, as he cried.

Humiliation.
Losing his mom, again.
Mistaking his soulmate.
Knowing his life was about to change.
He'd have a new mom and step-brother.
He ran into his bully and chickened out. He knew that bravery was one of his soulmate's traits and he was a coward.
He took his Dad away from his new soulmate when they found eachother, so his dad must be mad.

Kurt hadn't felt this bad in years.

Stike Three, Fate, You're out.

Instead of going to school the next day, Kurt did what he felt he should have done a long time ago.

He went on a trip to find a Witch Doctor.

Little did he know, that was not a good idea.

P.S, I wanted to leave you with a cliffhanger but I think I'm after giving myself nightmares.

I did not mean for it to end so creepy.
