Love Can Survive Anything

Blink and You'll Miss It

"Sam relax, you're going to be fine!" Blaine said in the groom's dressing room. He, along with Finn, Artie, Puck and Mike were all trying to get Sam to calm down. "I swear, this will be the best day of your life, you have nothing to be afraid of."

"Thanks Blaine, it means a lot." Sam said, already looking a lot calmer. "Can I ask," he said only hesitating for a millisecond, "what did you feel, right before you married Kurt?"

Blaine was a bit surprised by the question and look around at the other guys. Finn was the only other person there that was married, and while the others weren't, they all look generally interested in what his answer would be. "Well," he started, "it's an indescribable feeling. Just the fact that that is the last moment before you literally spend the rest of your life with that one person that you love so dearly is unrealistic. It is the greatest feeling on the planet when you see that one person at the end of the isle, willing to give everything to you." Blaine trailed off lost in thought, thinking back to his own wedding day. It really had been the best day of his life.

Blaine was drawn back to the present when Puck said, "Where is Kurt anyway?"

"He's on his way. Chris couldn't decide what tie he wanted to wear so they stayed at home a bit longer."

"Like fathers like son eh?" Puck joked and everyone laughed, including Blaine.

"Yeah, that's what Kurt said." He pulled out his phone and looked over the last few texts between him and Kurt. "Actually he should be here any second." He look back up at the group and then out the window. The way the room was, the window looked out over a field next to the church they were in. Right on the other side of the field was the road to town. Funny enough, Blaine could see a car that he knew to be Kurt's driving down the road. "See, there he is." Both Finn and Puck walked over to the window and stood behind him, just watching the car in the distance get closer.

If Blaine were to have blinked at that exact second, he would have completely missed it. Kurt's car was coming up on the only intersection between him and the church when Blaine saw another car coming into view from a different direction. Even though Kurt appeared to be slowing down as he approached the intersection, the other car was clearly not. In an instant the other car was slamming into the driver's side of Kurt's car. 

Behind Blaine, he heard gasps and swearing, but in his head he was just silent and numb. Before he knew what he was doing he was walking out of the dressing room and starting to pick up his pace as he reached the exit door of the church. Once he was out of the church he began to full on sprint towards the road. He heard footfalls and shouting behind him but he didn't look back. He could see a bit of smoke coming from where he knew the cars were.

Out of the corner of his eye he saw Finn running right behind him. He was starting to wake up to his surroundings. The field was much bigger than he had first thought. Blaine was about half way through the field when he became exhausted. He wanted to just curl up in the tall grass and take a nap. Nothing sounded better at the moment than falling asleep in his husband's arms.

KURT! Very suddenly Blaine was re-energized when he thought about being with his husband, and how if he didn't get to him, that might never happen again. Running the second half of the damn field was much quicker and easier with those thoughts in his head. He was out on the road looking at the cars before he truly saw the horror of the situation.

There was broken glass all over the road and the faint cry of a child could be heard. Smoke was coming from the engine of the other car. Far off in the distance he heard what he assumed to be the siren of an ambulance.

"Kurt! Chris!" Blaine shouted, finally getting his voice back. It was like he was very slowly being dragged out of water after nearly drowning, slowly recovering. He ran to the driver's side where he knew Kurt would be, only to stop when he saw the front of the other car indenting into Kurt's door. As he ran around to the passenger's side he saw Finn emerge from the fields with Puck not far behind him. "Finn get Chris!" Blaine shouted before opening the passenger door of the car.

This was the first time he dared look inside the car to see the condition of his family. Chris was crying, still strapped into his car seat in the back of the car. He was trying to get past the child safety buckle. Finally Blaine turned and looked to the driver's seat, absolutely terrified of what he would see.

At first look, one might say that Kurt was peacefully sleeping. He had his eyes closed and a calm, neutral expression on his face. The only thing that ruined the image of his blissed rest was the sight of blood trickling down his forehead.

The sirens were getting louder. He turned back to Chris, who was now being unbuckled from his car seat by Finn. He had stopped crying and was just staring at Kurt and Blaine with tear stained cheeks and shock in his eyes. In his hand, Blaine saw something bright red, but Finn pulled Chris out of the car too fast to see if it was blood. The thought of his little boy being hurt shook Blaine to his core. He turned back to Kurt and saw that he hadn't moved. Looking around the scene again, he noticed more people dressed in gowns and suits running through the field from the church. From the road, others were driving from the wedding to get to the accident quicker. Coming from the other direction he could finally see the ambulance and a couple police cars.

Blaine focused his attention once more on Kurt, looking to see if he could do anything. He knew it was best not to touch him when he didn't know the extent of the damage. The ambulance pulled up next to Kurt's car and people jumped out of the back, rushing in their direction. He saw Finn run up to one of the paramedics carrying Chris in his arms. Blaine could tell Finn was explaining what had happened and as he pointed in the direction of Kurt, more people in white uniforms came running. One was even pulling a gurney behind him.

Everything was a blur after that. Kurt was removed from the car and placed on the gurney. He still hadn't woken up. At one point Blaine was asked if he wanted to ride in the ambulance to the hospital, but he declined. He had to get back to the church and get Darren. Thankfully Finn volunteered to ride in the back with Kurt and promised to keep everyone updated. He took Chris with him as well so he could be seen by a doctor too.

After the ambulance left, Blaine turned back towards the field. He really didn't want to go across that again.

"Hey Blaine!" someone shouted, making Blaine look around again. It was Puck who had called him, and he was now beckoning Blaine over to where he was, standing beside a car. "Hey listen," Puck said when Blaine was within talking distance, "jump in and I'll drive you to the hospital." Puck really seemed like he wanted to help.

"Thanks Puck, but can you take me back to the church, I need to get to Darren and then I'll drive my car there." Blaine said as he hopped into the passenger seat while Puck got behind the wheel.

Puck hesitated before speaking, like he was really planning out what he was going to say. "Yeah I can get you back there, and you can find Darren, but do you mind if I still drive you both to the hospital?" he looked over to Blaine, as if he was trying to guess how he was going to respond. "Nothing against you driving, but I saw you back there and you were pretty out of it. I'd rather not have two accidents in one day." At this, Puck started the car and headed back towards the church and the now interrupted wedding. Blaine didn't say anything until they reached the parking lot. He spent the short ride just thinking back on the last few minutes.

"Thank you." Blaine said once they'd parked. Puck seemed a little surprised. He obviously hadn't been expecting an answer. But he quickly changed his expression into a small sympathetic smile.

"Hey, I don't know how he's doing, but I believe he'll be ok. You guys always make it through." Puck said quietly. Blaine barely had time to process what he had said before he was quickly changing the subject. "I'll wait for you guys out here." He stated without looking at Blaine. "It's probably a madhouse in there."

"Okay." Blaine said as he got out of the car and headed back into the church.
