Chapter 1
Dave
A/N: Hello everyone. I discovered The joy of Glee about two months ago on Netflix. I also began reading Glee fan fiction at the same time. This story starts right after the junior prom and continues through the summer and through their senior year. The main pairings will be Finchel and Klain. I haven't decided who to pair Dave with yet however, it will not be Sebastian as I can't stand that buck toothed meercat. I am open to suggestions however. I am leaning towards either Sam or Puck as Dave's future love interest. I will also not be using song lyrics except for dramatic purposes. And now for the disclaimer. I do not own the rights to Glee or You've got a friend by Carol King. If I did, Dave would not have left McKinley at the end of the prom episode and wold have joined New Directions in the third season. `

Kurt and Blaine finished their dance and Kurt whispered to Blaine "Blaine do me a favor and find
Santana. I suspect that she also knows Dave's secret. Blaine don't give that look and just listen. I have been called queer and fag for as long as I can remember here. I have been thrown in the dumpster, knocked into lockers, have slushies thrown my face and yet I still have kept my dignity as best as I can. You and everybody in New Directions have given me all the support I needed to face my demons. Dave, on the other hand, feels he has no one to turn to and as one of the only openly gay student, besides you, I felt it was my duty to try to help him. Please I need your help. Will you help me? You will thank you Try to explain everything to Santana. I'll see if I can find Dave and talk to him Just try not to let this spread over the school." Blaine nodded and went back to the prom to find Santana.
As Kurt looked around the parking lot he saw that Dave's truck was still there so he knew that Dave didn't leave. As he looked around to find Dave he saw Finn and walked to him, Finn looked up and saw Kurt and asked "Kurt what happened after I was thrown out? Just saw Karofsky run out of the school and it looked like he was crying,"
Kurt thought about it for a second and decided to explain the situation to Finn. "Finn what I am about you stays between the two of us. Only Blaine and Santana knows this, Dave is gay but very deep in the closet, I found out when I confronted him in the locker about his bullying me and he kissed me. Santana somehow found out and agreed to be his beard to bring me back from Dalton. A few minutes ago he was elected prom King and I was elected prom queen. After running out of the prom I decided to accept but it was too overwhelming for Dave. Please did you see where he ran off to? I want to talk to him privately."
Finn answered, "he ran towards the football field. Kurt be careful."
"Don't worry too much. If Santana or Blaine come out tell them where I am. And please do not tell anyone else yet, not even Rachel."
Kurt then proceeded to the field and saw Dave. He approached softly and saw that Dave was still crying. "Dave do you want to talk about what happened? It might help you feel better. Also don't be angry but I told Finn about you being gay." Dave nodded.
"Kurt I am so sorry about everything. I know you have forgiven me but I still have a lot of guilt. Why didn't you just tell everyone I was a fag and all your troubles would have ended? I never wanted you to leave McKinley, Santana figured out that I was gay when saw me checking out Sam's butt. She blackmailed me into that apology and agreed to be my beard. Kurt right now I am terrified that everyone knows my secret. Now I think I want to start coming out but I don't know how. You and Blaine are the only gay people I know. Please help me."
Just then Kurt's cell phone buzzed. "Hello Finn. They found you and are heading here, good. Brittany is with them as well. I'm not surprised. Okay just send them out to the bleachers. And remember tell no one. Dave that was Finn. Santana, Brittany and Blaine are heading here with him. I told Finn the whole story and he agreed not to tell anyone. He wants to help you as well. Please forgive me I was at a loss and was trying to find you. Besides I have some brotherly blackmail I can use on him if needed. Give me a minute to update them and don't panic."
As the other three approached, Kurt stated, "listen guys I know you all mean well. Dave is going through a lot right now. I'm beginning to think that I was not the only target in this cruel joke. Someone else may have found out about him. We have to tell him about this and show him that he is not alone. Just let me talk to him. And Finn I'm saying this one more time tell no one."
Dave spoke up, "Guys I think I was also a target of this joke. I suspect that it was the hockey team that started this as well as some of the football team. I guess we will find out Monday at school,"
Kurt told him, "Dave we just came up with the same conclusion. Right now you need to relax. Listen don't be mad at me but I had to tell Finn what happened. He agreed not to tell anyone until you agree. We all just want to help you."
You've got a friend by Carol King begins
Kurt began singing softly,
When your down and troubled and you need a helping hand
and nothing nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me and soon I will be there
to brighten up even your darkest night
Blaine and Brittany joined in.
You just call out my name and you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
winter spring summer or fall
all you have to do is call and I'll be there yes I will you've got a friend
Finn began singing
When the sky above you turns dark and full of clouds
and that old north wind begins to blow
just keep your head together and call my name out loud and soon I will be there
everyone joins in
you just call out my name and you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
winter spring summer or fall all you have to do is call and I'll be there
and I'll be there yes I will you've got a friend
hey ain't it good to know you've got a friend cause people can be so cold
they'll hurt you and desert you and take your soul if you let them but don't you let them
you just call out n name and you know wherever I am
I; ll come running oh yeah to see you again
winter spring summer or fall all you got to do is call
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ end song
When Kurt looked at Dave's face he saw the widest grin he ever saw on Dave's face. "Listen Dave call your dad and tell him you will be staying at a friend's house. I'll call my dad and explain the situation to him. You may as well stay with us at least for tonight. I don't think you need to be alone tonight."
David replied to Kurt, "Listen thank you for this., Go ahead and tell him the whole story I Already texted my dad and he just replied back to go to your friend's house for tonight.
Kurt then dialed his dad's cell. "Dad, it's Kurt. Listen uh Dad, something bad happened tonight. Oh You already talked to Finn. Good then could Dave stay over. I know but there are circumstances that I left out before but that was not my information to release without his permission but here goes nothing. Dad, Dave is gay. I discovered this when he kissed me one day in the boy's locker room. That is what started the all the harassment. OK Dad we came to that same conclusion. Listen you may also call Dave's dad and see if he wants to talk. Alright Dad, I will tell them." Kurt put away his phone.
"Dave I just got off the phone with my dad. If you want you can stay at our house this weekend. We may not get much sleep but I just wanted you to know that you are not alone."
"Thanks for everything Kurt. I Think I will make it official Monday and just come out. I think I am ready to come out now. When I called my dad I told him. Azimio will be the hardest to tell. Most likely I will lose his friendship but what the hell. If he cannot accept me for who I am them fuck him. Let's go."
Kurt then said "Dave why don't we call the rest of the glee club and you can tell them tomorrow. Everyone can meet at our house. Some of them may already suspect something is up. Blaine you are invited as well. We'll figure out the sleeping arrangements after we get there. However we may not get much sleep tonight."
Dave then said to Finn, "Hey could you invite Puck as well. I did get along with him before he joined New Directions and he may have some suggestions to how I come out. Besides I love the fact that he is such a bad ass. And please tell him what is going on with me as well."
