"I said that I might go see Kurt."
"Well you are now. I already told your mom about him."
"I hate you." I shut my door, and start getting ready. I had just woken up, and was rather unprepared for the day. At the very least I needed to take a shower. about a half hour later, I am finished and go into the dining room to eat breakfast. "Morning, mom." I mutter as I walk into the kitchen. I see a plate of green pancakes and eggs already set out for me. "Oh, thanks." I sit down and dig in, hungrily.
"I don't know how you eat those." Blaine says disgusted. "They look moldy." I could hardly blame him. Green pancakes did look gross, but it was one of my mom's weird habits. I have never had any type of home made pancakes that did not have spinach in them. I did not know why she made them that way, and I didn't care. They were good this way.
Ignoring his comment, my mom kissed me on the top of the head, "Your dad's at work, and I will be down at the library until late tonight so behave and don't stay at the hospital with your friend for too long."
"Yes, Ma'am." I finish off the last bite, and wash my plate. "Anything else?"
"I love you." She said, hugging me. I wrap my arms around her feeling how small she is, and how big I am. I always felt weird when I hugged her. She was a very short woman, around 4'10", and while I am only 5'11, I have my father's extremely broad shoulders, and and thick arms. My dad was a football player too, and always joked that we would form a clan who would breed boys biologically designed to play football.
"You too, mom. Later." I quickly get out of the house before she remembers something I need to do for her. Blaine and I jump into my old 80's VW van, and head down to the hospital. "So mind telling me what exactly happened?"
"Well, Kurt was at Ruby's house yesterday, and I guess he collapsed. When they took him to the hospital, the nurses and doctors noticed that he was covered in bruises, and had a couple fractures. Ruby said that the football team was bullying him. I told her that I didn't know about it, and I don't think she thinks that you were involved either."
"I certainly hope not. And the bullying is going to stop tomorrow. That is a promise."
"You said that you wouldn't do anything unless I asked!"
"I won't get in any fights, don't worry. But name one person on the team who would be brave enough to cross me if I told them to stop." he did not say anything for several seconds, so I continued, "You would be just as good fighter as I am, if not better, if you weren't such a wimp." I say punching him in the shoulder. "I can't believe you like playing football."
"It's different." he said, but I saw him smile out of the corner of my eye.
"Sure it is." The conversation was cut short by our arrival at the hospital. "So what room is he?" I ask as I park the car near the front.
"Just follow me."
When we reach his room, I walk in, and lifted my hand to Kurt in greeting, "'Ey there, buddy, What's goin' on?" Then seeing Ruby, I smile, "Hey, Ruby. You're here early."
