Heather Drops Off Kurt

Heather, having left before everyone else, was already on the highway by the time Zack and Gavin were merely waiting for Victoria and Chloe. The cheerleader had her arm up, resting her elbow on the armrest while her head leaned against her hand, her mind flipping through the week's events. Sure Heather realized that she was having a great time, but that was only because she got lucky, she hadn't been apart of any of the drama. So far Brandon and Ashley broke up, Ashley and Kurt did some horribly wrong shit to Zack and Chloe, and most importantly, Zack nearly beat her cousin into a coma.

At this point, Heather was scared within herself; she feared that with her new libido, she wouldn't be able to resist doing something really dumb with Zack or Gavin if the chance arose. She could only imagine the fallout from letting them fuck her and one of their girlfriends finding out about it. Victoria would probably explode, having her first boyfriend cheat on her, that wouldn't be pretty. Heather's eyes widened as she could only imagine what would happen if it was Zack and Chloe found out, she'd probably kill her.

She flicked her eyes over to Kurt who had his head resting against the window; she narrowed her eyes slightly at her cousin, "You know Kurt, would it kill you to apologize?"

Kurt lazily drifted his eyes over to Heather, "No...but Zack might," He weakly joked back,

"I'm serious here, Kurt," Heather mumbled back, "I know you weren't gonna **** Chloe, but what you did, what she thought you were gonna do, it's got her terrified,"

"And Zack beat my ass, fairs, fair," Kurt mumbled back, "All's even,"

"No," Heather denied, "Zack beat your ass thinking he was protecting her, but Chloe still hasn't heard a word from you. Think about it Kurt; you're just glossing over what you did, expecting everything to be fine. It doesn't work like that!"

"I thought you were on my side," Kurt joked again causing Heather to angrily let out a scoff, "Heather...what do you want from me? Chloe's the one who let all that happen, I tried to explain myself, but no one would hear it. She should have put the record straight,"

"Are you serious? Listen to yourself Kurt; you're telling me that you think Chloe is the one at fault here?" Kurt blinked at her a few times, "Honestly, can you really be telling me that you are just an innocent victim here?"

Kurt shifted in his seat slightly and shook his head, "No, I'm not innocent, and no Chloe's not at fault." He conceded, "But I wasn't doing what she thought I was,"

"Kurt, you were trying to take advantage of her in the situation," Heather frowned back, "You can't deny that,"

"When I went to check on her that's all I was doing!" Kurt exclaimed before wincing in pain, calming himself quickly, "I just wanted to see if she was okay, and when she mentioned sex, yeah I went for it."

"So you realize that you tried to fuck a heartbroken girl," Heather replied causing Kurt to lightly shake his head, clearly annoyed, "Then things spiral out of control, her boyfriend kicks your ass, she gets terrified to even be around you, and you just want everyone to move on." Heather listed before shaking her head, "Does that make actually make sense to you?"

"I'll ask Heather again, what do you want?" Kurt weakly asked,

"I want you to feel bad! I want you to know you fucked up and genuinely mean it!" Heather snapped back while abruptly pulling over the car, "Why do you think it's okay to do that to someone?! Why?!"

Kurt's eye widened as he looked at his furious cousin, "Heather...I-"

"No Kurt, it's not about you! Think for a second, just imagine, what's going through Chloe's head!" She interrupted, "Just because you weren't gonna do something doesn't mean she knows that. Chloe thinks you're a monster and you're just okay with that?"

"But Heather, I wasn't going to do anything." Kurt weakly replied,

"She. Doesn't. Know that jackass!" Heather shouted out, "Get that through your fucking head!"

Kurt let out a sigh and rubbed his face slowly with one hand, "Well, what can I do? It's not like either Zack or Chloe would let me talk to them. Zack apparently threatened to kill me yesterday if I didn't stay away,"

"That's why you need to talk to Zack," Heather replied while starting to drive again, Kurt looked back at her in confusion,

"Why would I do that, so he can strangle me when he hears something he doesn't want to hear?" Kurt sarcastically retorted,

"No, you need to talk to him first, try and explain yourself so you can talk to Chloe," Heather replied, "It's not gonna fix what you did, and they'll still probably resent you for the rest of time, but it's the decent thing to do,"

Kurt pursed his lips, "I'm not a decent person Heather," Kurt dryly replied,

"No, you're not, but saying that doesn't make up for this. If you do nothing, it just makes you a coward," Heather instantly replied while keeping her eyes on the road. Kurt turned his head back to his window, silently watching everything pass by while thinking about Heather's words.

The pair were in silence for the rest of the drive and only once they pulled into the small hospital and parked did Heather speak up. "So, what's the plan here? Should we tell them what happened or make something up?"

"You're asking me, this was your plan after all," Kurt replied as he pulled his seatbelt off,

"Well, I didn't think about this part," Heather retorted, "I was just thinking that you might not wake up after going to sleep,"

"Alright, alright, relax," Kurt sighed back while raising his hands, "I'll...I'll think of something," Kurt mumbled back while opening his door and slowly getting out of the car. Heather quickly jumped out and ran over to Kurt, helping him walk inside. She sat him down in the waiting room and promptly walked over to the check-in, telling the woman behind the counter the situation, though somewhat vaguely.

Minutes later the two were inside a small room while a doctor walked in, "Kurt Johnson?" The doctor asked while raising his head at him,

Kurt sat up in the hospital bed with a grunt, "Yeah, that's me,"

"I'm his cousin," Heather added on while the doctor inspected Kurt for a moment,

"What happened?" The doctor asked with a hard stare at the teen,

"I was on a hike, I fell and landed right on a rock," Kurt replied causing Heather to glance over at him, it was a feeble lie,

"A rock?" The doctor repeated dismissively, "And this rock happened to hit you several times on the jaw, eye, and nose,"

"It was a very persistent rock," Kurt replied with a tiny smirk,

The doctor let out a long sigh and walked over, turning Kurt's head to the side, inspecting his heavily damaged face, "So, since this 'Rock' hit you, how have you felt?"

"Fine," Kurt replied with a shrug,

"No," Heather immediately interjected causing the doctor to look over at her, "He's been tired, in pain, can barely walk and when he got up this morning he almost fell to the floor!"

The doctor let out a nod, "Well, that doesn't surprise me, he more than likely has a concussion, though it could be much worse." He explained while writing a few things down on his clipboard, "I am going to want to keep him here for today for observation, and tomorrow we'll take him in for a cat scan, see if has any major trauma to the brain or his skull,"

"Oh c'mon, are you serious?" Kurt sighed, not wanting to spend two days in a hospital,

"Shut up, you're staying," Heather nearly growled back to him, "Do you need him to do anything beforehand?"

The doctor nodded back, "I'll need to take down his information and get some emergency contact information,"

"I'm his contact; I can fill that out with him," Heather assured the doctor,

"Very well, wait here for a moment, and I'll be right back." The doctor said as he left the room to grab the forms,

"Heather...this is such bullshit, I don't need a cat scan or whatever," Kurt grumbled out,

"Yeah, you do," Heather sternly retorted, "And besides, they can give you some painkillers for the pain, you can get some rest here and, to be honest, it'll be good for everyone if you're gone for a few days," Heather pointed out,

"Oh, so you're just pawning me off here for two days huh?" Kurt sighed back while laying down, "Fine, whatever,"

"Kurt...you know this is for the best," Heather mumbled while looking up at him, "Please don't make this difficult,"

"I'm not!" He lightly exclaimed, "I'll stay, but it's just gonna fucking suck." He muttered out,

"Good," Heather said relieved. As the two went quiet again Heather looked over at Kurt for a second time, "Did you...have you thought about what I talked about?"

"Yeah..." Kurt whispered back after a moment,

"And?" Heather asked,

"I'm still thinking..." Kurt uttered back with a mixture of irritation and sadness.

Twenty minutes later, Heather had the forms filled out, and she got up, gave her cousin a quick hug and left the hospital. Despite everything Kurt had done over the week, she hoped he would be okay; Heather knew this was more than likely only due to their blood relation as any other guy would have been dead to her by now. Which was precisely the reason she decided to leave him so soon, she wanted to know that he was alone during this and that he had to determine whether or not he was going to do something to fix it, or at least try to.
