The first thing Kurt does when he gets out of class is pull out his phone. He had felt it vibrating several times during lecture but Professor Larson has a zero cell phone policy and he didn’t want to risk it. A frown creases his forehead as he looks at the screen; three missed calls, one from his dad, one from Carole, and one from a number he doesn’t recognize. None of them left messages. He clicks the call back button next to his dad’s number, presses it to his ear as it rings.
“Hello?”
“Hey dad, you called? Sorry, I was in class.”
“It’s okay. Look, bud… what are you doing right now?” There’s a quality to Burt’s voice that Kurt doesn’t recognize, a tenseness that makes his stomach flip with worry.
“I’m walking back to my apartment… what’s going on?”
There’s a pause and he can hear Burt taking a shaky breath.
“Dad?”
“Kurt… I’ve got some bad news, kid.”
