Chapter 8

A.N. I SUCKKKKKKK…..heres a new chapter…

OK I am going to warn you that the Klaine scenes are going to suck because I am not used to writing them.

Kurt wandered around the drink station aimlessly hoping to run into Blaine. His efforts so far are failing. Kurt turned around and was about to go back to Quinn's room when he heard a voice that made his heart flutter.

"Hey you I was a little disappointed when I didn't get a call or even a text to meet up last night."

Kurt shifted nervously his face turning red. "S-sorry about that I was going to call you eventually."

Blaine just smirked, "Don't worry about it I was only kidding. How is your friend doing?"

"Better then yesterday, she should be able to get released soon."

"That's good. I'm happy to hear that. I hope you haven't been taking too much blame after our talk yesterday."

"No, and I have you to thank for that."

Blaine smiled, "Its no problem, I was in your shoes once so I can relate to what you are going through, minus the fact that you have a badass best friend who helped you out."

"Yeah she is pretty awesome." Kurt did not want this conversation to end so he decided to do the one thing to prolong this conversation. "Do you want to meet her? She is staying right down the hall. I'm sure she would love the company, I mean I know she hates hospitals and it gets boring here and-"

Blaine smiled and held his hand up to stop Kurt's rambling, "I would love to, lead the way."

Kurt smiled and led the way to Quinn's room. When they entered Quinn was flipping the television channels. When she heard footsteps she started to talk.

"This is so stupid. I mean what to they expect me to do in this room I think I can recover perfectly from home…what do they want me to do here count the ceiling tiles?"

Quinn turned towards Kurt then noticed that there was another man in the room dressed in a uniform from that private school near us.

"Oh I am so sorry I didn't realize we had company. I'm Quinn Fabray"

Blaine offered his hand, "I'm Blaine Anderson and from what I just heard I like you already."

Quinn giggled at this and took his hand, "Yeah sorry about that rant. I think I'm starting to have cabin fever. But onto another topic are you a friend of Kurt's?" Quinn smirked looking over at Kurt who found his shoes to be very interesting at this point.

"Yeah I actually met Kurt the other day we ran into each other …. Literally."

Quinn motioned for both of them to take a seat and all three of them talked for about a half an hour about anything from there respected glee clubs to the gossip in the entire glee club world.

Blaine looked down at his watch. " I have to get going. It was really nice meeting you Quinn and as a person who has been in Kurt's position before I want to thank you for what you did."

Quinn waved her good hand "It was nothing. That what friends are for."

Blaine smiled and turned to Kurt. "I hope you take me up on that offer sometime soon."

Kurt started to blush again, "I will be sure too."

With that Blaine left. As soon as Quinn knew Blaine was out of ear shot she quickly turned towards Kurt. She turned almost to quickly which made her ribs scream in pain and had to take a moment to compose herself. She quietly made a note to herself to not make sudden movements anytime soon. Kurt looked at her with worried eyes and was about to get up but she waved him off. Once the pained passed she looked at Kurt again and her face broke into a smirk.

"He's totally into you!"

"I don't know Quinn…."

"Kurt! Did you see the way he was looking at you the entire time we were talking and what about his little comment at the end! He definitely wants to see you again!"

Kurt just rolled his eyes. "Okay Quinn whatever you say.."

Quinn tried to hold back a yawn but all the talking has made her tired. "Kurt you know I'm right and with me living with you now I am not going to let this go!"

Kurt groaned. He looked over at Quinn and noticed she was trying to keep her eyes open. Kurt stoked her good arm and said "Shh Quinn we will talk about this later but right now you are tired you need to get some rest."

Quinn let out a yawn, "Okay, but your not getting out of this easy mister. Wait until I tell Mercedes…"

And with that Quinn slowly let her eyes close and drifted off into sleep.

Not long after Quinn fell asleep, Mercedes reentered the room.

She plopped down into the seat next to Kurt. "You know your step-brother can be a real pain in the ass sometimes. He was trying to come back to the hospital with me even though he's functioning with no sleep. It took me and Carol to finally convince him to rest up before coming back"

Kurt shook his head. Typical Finn. For the next hour Kurt and Mercedes talked and sat in a comfortable silence getting their homework done. They were just finishing up there work when Quinn started to stir.

Quinn opened her eyes and saw Mercedes sitting next to Kurt. "Hey when did you get back?"

Mercedes smiled at seeing Quinn awake. "About an hour ago. It took me awhile to get Finn to stay at home to get some rest."

Quinn frowned at this. "Ugh that's probably my fault for telling him I didn't want him to leave me here alone. Hey Mercedes has Kurt told you about Blaine yet?"

Quinn smirked and raised and eyebrow at Kurt. Kurt just rolled his eyes and was about to respond to Mercedes questioning stare when the nurse walked in.

"Okay Quinn time to change your bandages again."

Quinn groaned at this. She really hated this process it really just made her sour. "Do I have too?"

"Well unless you want to get a serious infection then yes you do."

Quinn rolled eyes at this as the nurse positioned her self on Quinn's left side to help her up since she can't push up due to her arm in her sling.

"Do you want me to help lift on the other side?" Kurt asked about to stand up.

The nurse shook her head. "I want to see if Quinn can do it on her own. Can you try that Quinn? It's going to hurt but if it gets to much you have to let us know okay."

Quinn nodded "I can do it." Mercedes noticed that there was the steely look of determination in her eyes that she has seen before during glee club and when she was on the cheerios.

"Okay so on the count of three I am going to lift this side and you are going to have to try and push yourself up. One. Two. Three."

It took several times but Quinn was able to get herself up into a sitting position. Quinn was breathing heavily because of all the force it took to get herself into a sitting position.

"Good job Quinn not many people are capable of doing that so early in recovery."

The nurse started to undo the bandages and Mercedes couldn't help but gasp when she saw the bruising and scar on Quinn's torso.

Quinn told herself she was not going to look like the last time but this time she took a risk and looked down at her stomach. For the first time she looked at the ugly scar that maimed most of her stomach and had tears in her eyes. She looked at the nurse who was about to rub ointment onto the scar and asked.

"Will it go away?"

The nursed stopped and looked at Quinn sympathetically, "I'm sorry Quinn. I don't think it will."

After hearing that Quinn shut her eyes and let the nurse finish up and help her back down. When she opened them again she saw Kurt and Mercedes looking at her with concern.

"I'm okay I think I'm going to try and get some sleep. That kind of wore me out."

They both smiled Kurt rubbed her arm, and Mercedes said "We're here for you Quinn."

Quinn tried her best to smile. "Thank you" And with that she drifted off into sleep not wanting to think about her scar.
