Disclaimer: If I wrote Glee... there'd be a lot more of sexy Puck and Burt & Kurt moments soooo... nope Glee is not mine

Kurt Hummel had always taken pride in being right. He was just one of those kids who found the saying 'I told you so' the best confidence building phrase ever. He used it whenever he had the chance. To say 'I told you so' was a gift to him, an ability given to him in exchange for the constant bullying and hard times that he had.

But at this moment, this ultimate 'I told you so' moment, Kurt could not and would not say it. Because he didn't want himself to be right this time.

It was a heart attack, and a pretty bad one, according to Carol. How many times had Kurt warned him about this, warned him that he had to watch his intake of fatty foods and beer. Kurt didn't tell his father these things because he enjoyed being a fun killer or because he was only worried about his skin. Kurt told his dad these things so that this wouldn't happen.

Kurt told Burt to watch it because Kurt never wanted to be in this position. Watching a hospital bed again carry an unconscious parent who may not wake up. He had never wanted to see his father like this, this was worse than losing his mom because losing his dad would leave him alone. Sure he'd have Carol, Finn, Mercedes, and Glee Club but they weren't his dad, Burt was the only person in his life for so long.

"Please, dad," he begged, the same thing he'd begged for hours, "Please just squeeze my hand, I need to know you can hear me. I need to know you're alright."

He waited, but nothing came and Kurt lost control. He sobbed, he did it loudly and for a long time. He felt himself gently being led away by Carol at one point but he didn't fully notice. His eyes were too focused on his dad's unmoving body.

This time he really didn't relish being able to say 'I told you so'.
