I didn't get in.

That sentence wound in an infinite loop through Kurt Hummel's brain. He didn't get into NYADA.

How had this happened? He did amazing in his audition. Carmen Tibideaux herself said that Hugh Jackman would've been as impressed as she was.

How had Rachel made it in when she'd choked twice at her audition and practically stalked Madam Tibideaux?

It made absolutely no sense.

Kurt wandered through the halls to the auditorium. He needed to work through his anger and sadness in the only way he knew how, song. Kurt stood in the center and imagined that it was a Broadway stage. Thousands of people were there to see him, and not Rachel. He would be the star for a change.

Kurt readied himself, and set up music. He had chosen the song "You Haven't Seen the Last of Me" from the movie Burlesque. He'd watched the movie the night before and it had resonated in him. It felt right for him.

Feeling broken

Barely holding on

But there's just something so strong

Somewhere inside me

And I am down but I'll get up again

Don't count me out just yet

He wasn't down for the count. He may have stumbled a little but he'd make it to New York and he'd get there through his own merit.

I've been brought down to my knees

And I've been pushed way past the point of breaking

But I can take it

I'll be back

Back on my feet

This is far from over

You haven't seen the last of me

You haven't seen the last of me

Through all the hell he'd been given for the last four years, he'd stayed strong. He may have been the breaking point but he got right back up.

They can say that

I won't stay around

But I'm gonna stand my ground

You're not gonna stop me

You don't know me

You don't know who I am

Don't count me out so fast

He'd stood up to bullies, accusations of cheating, and transfers back and forth. He'd stood up and he was stronger for it.

I've been brought down to my knees

And I've been pushed way past the point of breaking

But I can take it

I'll be back

Back on my feet

This is far from over

You haven't seen the last of me

There will be no fade out

This is not the end

I'm down now

But I'll be standing tall again

Times are hard but

I was built tough

I'm gonna show you all what I'm made of

Kurt thought to himself, you haven't even begun to see what I'm made of.

I've been brought down to my knees

And I've been pushed way past the point of breaking

But I can take it

I'll be back

Back on my feet

This is far from over

I am far from over

You haven't seen the last of me

No no

I'm not going nowhere

I'm staying right here

Oh no

You won't see me begging

I'm not taking my bow

Can't stop me

It's not the end

You haven't seen the last of me

Oh no

You haven't seen the last of me

You haven't seen the last of me

So he didn't get into NYADA, there were other schools. He could go to Parson's it was one of his top 3 college picks, and he'd been accepted. He even had a scholarship for most of the tuition cost. His portfolio was extensive. He loved fashion; it was something he was good at. He loved that it was an art form that you could take with you everywhere.

Fashion was also something that Rachel couldn't compete with him over. It is one thing that he would always be better at. She could have her Broadway dreams, he wouldn't begrudge her that. He had dreams too. Fashion had been his dream before glee club and it was still his dream now. He realized he had allowed Rachel and Blaine to pull him in with their musical dreams. He knew very well that even if he did try for musical theatre he'd only get the bit parts or the stereotypical parts. He knew this and accepted it. His own worth didn't lie on the whims of the theatre sect. He was the master of his own destiny.
