A different kind of hate

[anonymous]

Kurt and Mercedes are out one night by themselves (preferably doing something that would be seen as romantic, like dinner or a movie) when they're attacked by a group of thugs. Both of them are severely injured and can't provide details about the attack for whatever reason. Maybe they're too drugged up on painkillers, maybe one or both is comatose, maybe it's post-traumatic amnesia, whatever. But they can't help the investigators figure out who did it.

Everyone, the media, their friends, their families, assume it was a gay bashing and that Mercedes just got caught in the crossfire.

The truth? It was a gang of racists who thought Kurt was Mercedes' boyfriend. They wanted to... express their opinions on interracial dating.

No character death please, and I'd prefer it to end with the attackers getting caught but that's up to the writer.

It was a lovely night to be out.  The late summer evening carried a hint of fall so she opted to wear a shawl around her shoulders.  He wore  that nice double breasted suit that he’d found while scrounging in vintage clothing stores.  They’d planned carefully, saving their money over the summer so they could make reservations at the nicest restaurant in the next town over

II.

The doctors shaved her head.

Mercedes stared at herself in the mirror, her fingers lightly brushing the incision  that made slight bump beneath the new hair growing in.  The doctors had been concerned enough about the possibility of brain damage that they took film after film, waiting for some of the swelling to go down so they could get a better look. Dr. Gupta’s team had found a small blood clot that they were able to excise with minimal surgery.

But they still took her hair.

She smoothed nervous hands over her thighs then put her favorite plaid Kangol on her head.  The wool itched and Mercedes twitched it from side to side, trying to find the perfect angle.  If she cocked it just so, it would make her face look a little less haunted.

Little bitch thinks she’s cuteMercedes hadn't told anyone about the voices. Sometimes one, sometimes more. All of it one big ball of ugly hate that seemed to have take residence inside her head.  A spike of fear in her heart each and every time it showed up.  She hadn’t told her parents; they

OP

Ouch, hard to imagine Mercedes getting her head shaved. It might not be permanent damage, but it'll sure feel like it until it grows back. Love how her first reaction is to find Kurt though. Nothing's gonna keep those two apart for long.

This is a great start and I can't wait to see the rest of it, thank you so much for filling my prompt!

I'm happy to see that this prompt is filled <3

the beginning is very chilling, the image of the screaming that won't stop. And Mercedes is such a strong person, and seeing he break down like that breaks my heart. Good job :D

Thanks so much for reading. I want to fit in more parts this weekend but have a bigger piece that I'm trying to finish (which is why I started to write a completely different story! Clearly I'm an idiot) so it'll be a little juggling but there's more to come.
