Kurt brushed away some tears that just started to shed and had his phone gripped in his hand because they were shaking so much. He kept waiting for a doctor to come around that corner and tell them the worst, and it didn't help that being in a hospital only made him think back to the horrible times when his mom and dad were seriously sick. But he gave Finn's upper arm a small pat, sniffling a little. "It's fine, Finn. I don't want you to go away. Thanks for coming with me, I couldn't have kept it together without you grounding me. You woke me up to the get call too, and I would never--" He choked up and tried to swallow the lump in his throat. "I would never forgive myself if I wasn't here if he needed me."

He brought he message up with a frown when he saw it was from Nick. Oh god. Nick, of course. Nick was in the car with Blaine, and here was the message from Nick telling Kurt to call him. Nick had to be here somewhere. Looking around anxiously, Kurt soon spotted a nurse and went over to intercept her. "Excuse me. Can you please tell me where Nick Matheson is? He asked me to come." Maybe it was a lie, but at least if he said Nick had asked for him, they wouldn't try to stop him going to him. It was a few moments as she checked the patient schedule at the nurses station and then pointed Kurt in the direction of the bay Nick was in. With Finn in tow, Kurt hurried up the corridor and then pulled the Kurt's back with a small sob of relief that at least Nick wasn't dead. "Oh my god! A-Are you okay? The others? Blaine... where's Blaine? Do you know anything? Have you seen him? Did you see him? How hurt was he?"

"Kurt!" Nick gasped in shock. It wasn't like he was expecting Kurt to just appear out of nowhere like a freaking ghost. "Oh god. Thank god you're here. I-I've been trying to call, how did you know? Are you okay?" He started to well up with tears then and they spilled over. It was was all so scary and it was just a relieve to see a familiar face that wasn't bleeding.

He didn't even try to wipe away the tears and reached for Kurt's hand with his own that wasn't bandaged. "I don't know if I'm okay. It was horrible. T-The noise... it was just... I... Kurt, Blaine's really hurt. I don't know where they've taken him, but he was here in the bed next to me then they took him away. I-I don't know about anyone else. I keep asking them, but no one will tell me! Blaine banged his head, on the window beside him but he was slumped over the steering wheel once we stopped and he was badly bleeding. We tried to wake him up, but he wouldn't."

Finn hadn't said a word as he just followed Kurt mutely. He could deny he appreciated Kurt's reassurance, though. It was nice to hear that he wasn't completely useless and actually even some help to his brother right now. He didn't know what was going on or where Kurt was running off to until they were both standing in the bay where Nick was. When Kurt moved closer to his friend's side, Finn just stayed standing at the end of the bed, more disbelief just setting in. Nick didn't look severely hurt, but he didn't look good either. He had a patched up head and arm, and he looked really pale.

Then he started to talk about Blaine and Finn's mouth dropped open a little. "Did they say he was gonna be okay?" he asked, glancing at Kurt in concern in case he was going to pass out or something.

Kurt took Nick's hand and wrapped both of his around it to give Nick a little comfort, even if it was just for a few moments. He wanted to freak out, and he was borderline about to lose it just hearing about the ordeal and picturing what Nick was trying to explain. His legs felt like jelly and he didn't know how much longer he was going to be able to keep it together, but he had to right then. Nick was injured and he was alone.

"W-We'll try and find out, okay? I don't know how. There is so much going on, but we'll try. You just need to rest, Nick. Especially if you've hit your head..." His voice got shaky and wavered, just like his resolve. "Oh god, he has to be okay. Please let him be okay."

"Kurt... it's okay... it's okay..." Nick said tearfully when he linked his fingers with Kurt. "He's in better hands here than he was out there. The paramedics were really awesome, they took good care of him, I promise. I think they just took him somewhere to be watched more closely, which is a good thing. H-How did you know, though? I was trying to ring you. I know it was the middle of the night and you were probably in bed, I thought you would want to be with him though."

He stopped to suck in a shaky breath, the tears now streaming down his face. "Kurt, I don't know where Jeff is. I don't know if he's o-okay. Can you try and find him for me? I don't know what I'll do if something bad has happened to him."

If Finn felt helpless before, he felt even moreso now. He couldn't even imagine how Kurt and Nick were feeling. He knew how horrible it had been when Burt had his heart attack, and that was bad enough. He wanted to try and help, but he hardly knew Nick and he didn't want to stick his nose in. "I can go try and find out. I dunno if anyone will tell me anything, but I can walk around and see if I can see him?" he suggested with a small shrug.

He knew what Jeff looked like, at least. He had seen Nick hanging with him whenever Finn had been around the Warblers. Plus, Finn had visited Dalton a few times when Kurt went there, so he had gradually become friends with the Warblers. Right now, he would just do anything if someone needed him to, and hopefully not suck at it.
