Kurt shook his head. "No, he didn't have it back in school. Blaine's baby girl got meningitis when she was an infant, and he caught it off her. He spent time in hospital and was seriously sick. But there were complications in his recovery and because the infection was so bad, it caused the epilepsy. He has medication for it, but sometimes, he just had bad periods with it. He's been doing well. He had a rough patch over Christmas, and has kept on top of it, but the other day he went down with a bad one in the shower. I'm just trying to take care of him the best I can, but it's not easy. It terrifies me to see him like that."

He had to pause then, hesitating and running his tongue slowly over his lips to wet them. "I'm recovering," was the answer he settled on. Some days, he still wasn't okay and he knew it. But others, he was beginning to feel normal again and get back on his feet. He knew Blaine was the reason for that. As she continued, though, he knew he couldn't just leave it at that. "Naomi... if Blaine was here, I know he would talk to you in a heartbeat, but even if he was awake, he's not well enough to focus. So, you drew the short straw with me. Puck's... he's my sponsor. For my drug addiction recovery. I wish there was something more positive I could offer you, but I am in no position to judge any of his actions because I have been a horrible person myself with the same demons. I haven't been well, no. Your mom was right. I was diagnosed with clinical depression after I tried to take my own life last year after the reunion. I ended up an addict because of it. Puck's been helping me on my road to recovery and I trust him implicitly. Not just with my welfare, but with my husband's. I'm not telling you to just forgive the errors of his ways, or trying to dilute the pain you most certainly would have felt from what he did to you... whatever it was. But as an addict myself, I know that it would be ripping his heart out to be sober now and realise just how much he has hurt or damaged people he loves more than life itself."
