Different worlds

Chapter 28

With Quinn's suspension being over the blonde was walking down the hallways of McKinley; she just finished her softball practice and was actually on her way to Rachel's but needed to grab some books out of her locker before she left. As the blonde grabbed her books and closed her locker, Kurt nervously walked up to her, "Hi, Quinn."

The softball player turned to her friend, "Hey, Kurt... What are you doing here? Hasn't Glee already finished?"

Kurt gave the girl a small smile and nodded, "Yes... Though I was wondering if we could talk? You did say if I ever needed to talk I could come to you... I could really use your help right now."

Quinn nodded, "Of course... Ummm... Where did you want to go, did you want to grab a coffee?"

"I'd like it if we were alone," Kurt said nervously, looking down.

"What about the softball fields bleachers? No one will be there, everyone has gone home," Quinn said softly.

Kurt nodded and the two started to make their way out of the school buildings, to the sports fields, Quinn shooting a quick text to Rachel stating that she had to cancel their plans for this afternoon. The blonde turned to Kurt, "How was Glee?"

"The usual... I suggest a song and Mr. Schue shuts me down, stating that there's a Journey song we haven't covered yet," Kurt rolled his eyes.

Quinn just laughed, "You sound like Rachel."

"Well least she gets to have solos and sing songs she wants too. I can't help it if I want to sing a Whitney Houston or Mariah Carey song... Or GaGa... Or even the iconic Madonna... Or even something from a musical... Evita is a favorite of mine... But because they are all females I'm automatically not allowed to perform it," Kurt said shaking his head as tears started to fill his eyes.

Quinn placed her hand on Kurt's back and slowly rubbed it for comfort... They then made it to the bleachers and walked up to take a seat in the middle area of the benches.

The blonde waited patiently for Kurt to talk, the boy looked out at the softball diamond, "I admire you, Quinn..." the brunette boy softly said. "The way you hold your head high... The way you don't care what people think of you... The way you're so comfortable in your own skin... I admire that..." Quinn smiled at the boy, "Thank you, Kurt."

Kurt nodded, "I don't know why it's so hard for me to be comfortable in my own skin... I just feel like something is wrong with me..." the boy said as tears filled his eyes. "To accept and come to terms with who I am..." Kurt trailed off, taking a breath and closing his eyes, "To accept that I'm gay..." the boy then burst into tears, Quinn moved closer and wrapped a protective arm around the boy.

"How do you do it, Quinn?" the boy said through sniffles.

"I have a very supportive family," Quinn honestly said as she continued to wrap her arm around the boy. "Have you spoken to your dad?" the blonde softly asked, Quinn did know that Kurt lost his mother at a young age and it was just him and his father now.

Kurt shook his head, "I've only told Mercedes."

"How did she take it?" the blonde softly asked. Kurt pulled out of the embrace, going into his messenger bag and pulling out a packet of tissues, wiping his eyes.

"She was great... She's a best friend anyone could ask for... But she doesn't understand it... She doesn't know how hard it can be, because she doesn't need to go through it," Kurt honestly said.

"I get that... But it's great that she's there to support you," Quinn smiled.

Kurt nodded, "Yes, she's a huge help... It's just that I wanted to talk to someone who may have gone through what I'm feeling... I was going to talk to Rachel but she has two wonderful dads that have always been open with sexuality... My dad and I don't talk about sexuality... It's the only thing we don't talk about."
