Kurt Pov

I haven't seen Sebastian since he left two days ago. How is he hurt this badly? What happened?

Sighing, I walk to his dorm, knocking on the door. "Sebastian?" I ask quietly.

There's no response.

I clear my throat, knocking a bit louder. "Sebastian," I call.

He still doesn't answer. I'm getting even more worried. I would have woken him up if he was sleeping.

I walk down to the Headmaster's office, not quite sure what I'm doing until she asks me what I need.

"Um, ma'am, I'm a bit concerned about Sebastian Smythe. I haven't seen him in about two days, not even at meals. Last I checked he was in his dorm, he hasn't left it. I knocked on the door and called to him but he didn't answer."

She immediately looks worried. "I'll check on him, we have spare keys."

I nod. "Thank you ma'am."

Leaving the office, I still feel like something isn't quite right.

I hardly notice where I'm going until I run into someone. "Sorry, sorry, I was distracted," I mutter before looking up at them and jumping back about a foot in fear.

"Kurt? Are you okay?" Blaine asks, looking hurt.

"I'm fine, you just startled me," I say quickly.

He nods, looking a bit less upset. "You looked distracted, what's on your mind?"

"Um, I haven't seen Sebastian in two days. He hasn't left his dorm, I'm really worried. I just spoke to the Headmaster, she's going to see if he's okay."

The fire bell rings, startling all of us. Blaine and I walk outside, lining up by AG with the others.

They don't actually take roll. "This isn't a drill, we just needed you to evacuate Dalton. Feel free to talk amongst yourselves," a teacher announces.

Everyone eagerly turns to talk to their friends, completely oblivious to the ambulance pulling up to the school. I see it, though, and it worries me.

Sebastian not leaving his dorm for two days... an ambulance coming to Dalton right after the Headmaster was going to check on him... it's a recipe for disaster.

I run up to the Headmaster, who looks pale. "How bad is it?" I ask frantically.

She looks to me. "How bad is what?"

"Sebastian, how badly is he hurt?"

She looks back to the school. "You know?"

"I mean, I figured that if an ambulance shows up right after you check on him he must be hurt," I lie. I didn't just figure it out, I know it was from his father.

"Well, to answer your question, he's very badly hurt. I'm only telling you this because you two seem to very close, we will probably inform the rest of the school at a later date. He attempted suicide, I don't know if he succeeded or not."

My heart drops down to the pits of tartarus as she says this. Macy told me their father wouldn't be back, that he was disowned... I'm not stupid, I know that all he cares about is her. She's safe now. Does that mean he was just waiting?

Ignoring the tears running down my face I pull out my phone. "I'm going to call his sister."

I dial her number, which she had given me so I could update her about Sebastian. I know she's in school, but I hope she can answer anyway.
