Crossfire

Chapter 4

Finn rolled Kurt out to the courtyard with the others who had went to see the Dalton Academy Warblers perform. Finn and Quinn thought that spending the day with Kurt would help sate their anger from what happened earlier in Glee Club.

"All I'm saying is that Kurt is awake now so all we have to do is pump him up and he'll be fine in time for Sectionals." Rachel said. Finn and Quinn were the only one appalled. Did this whole room take crack or something? "Guys? What's wrong?" Mr. Schue came in and Quinn shot up. "You don't expect to push someone who can barely walk let alone dance onstage do you?!" "He can sway then." Sam said. "He can't do either! He can barely walk without falling!" Finn shouted, standing up and knocking over his chair. "He's not going to be ready in time for Sectionals! They won't even let him leave yet!" Quinn cut off Rachel's attempt to talk and Artie took over. "I've seen him. He can barely take a step on his own." The amount of flares he got made him cower. "Shut up wheels, who's side are you on?" Santana said and Artie frowned. "Don't talk to him like that!" Finn yelled at Santana, getting in her face. Santana looked at him, ready to attack if need be. "Why don't you make me? Just because Hummel got pushed down a flight of stairs doesn't mean that he gets to skimp out on Sectionals!" "Rach-" Mr. Schue started but Quinn ran over to the short brunette and slapped her, the sound echoed in the room. "FOUR FLIGHTS! He got THROWN down FOUR FLIGHTS YOU SELFISH BITCH!" Finn had to hold her back and pull her out of the room. They would be late to see Kurt and that wouldn't let Glee Club ruin their time with the boy. Kurt would literally sit in his wheelchair outside of his room to see if the pair was coming.

"Guys, wait up!"

They turned to see Artie rolling and Mike running towards them. When they finally caught up, they stopped to breathe. Finn still looked pissed and Quinn looked murderous. "If you guys are here to give us crap, just save it bec-" Mike cut the tall teen off. "We're not. We want to come with you and apologize. If it's alright?" Finn and Quinn looked at each other before smiling and nods, walking with the two boys. When they reached the hospital and walked in, Finn got Mike and Artie added to the list. "Don't make us regret doing this." Quinn said. "We promise." Artie said and the two followed the pair in the elevator and up to Kurt's room where in fact the boy was waiting in his wheelchair. Finn seemed to brighten up and ran over to his brother, leaning down to hug him. Kurt hugged back and smiled big. Mike and Artie were surprised to see Kurt using sign language to speak. "He can't talk?" Artie asked. Quinn shook her head. "Not until the swelling in his throat has gone down. He's been either writing or using sign language." She walked over when Kurt waved her over and she too felt her stress leave her body as she hugged him and kissed his cheek. He patted his lap, knowing she needed more than a hug and Quinn raised her eyebrows. Kurt just rolled his eyes and patted his lap twice. Quinn sat down and Finn pushed the pair over to a waiting Artie and Mike. When Kurt looked in their eyes, he understood and made a gesture.

"He says he forgives you and he knows how sorry you are." Quinn translated and Kurt made the Finn gesture and two beats against his knees. "But if you betray his trust, Finn will step in." Mike cleared his throat. "I'd rather lose my dancing ability than hurt you Kurt." Kurt smiled and opened his arms once Quinn got up. Mike hugged Kurt and Artie rolled up to the other side of Kurt and hugged him.

Artie rolled up next to Kurt and handed him his water and snacks. Kurt took them graciously and watched as The Warblers came on stage. That's when Kurt froze because he saw HIM, THEM and when the boy he had kissed opened his mouth to speak, Kurt had to drink water to keep from freaking out. "Hi, for some of you who don't know who we are, we are the Dalton Academy Warblers and we are here to brighten your day up with music. So sit back, relax and enjoy." The Warblers did a few pop songs but when Blaine finally took the lead, it as like he was searching the crowd for something or someone before he sang.
