Kurt and Rachel never got along till their junior year, when their respectable partner breaks up with them. Blaine told Kurt that he felt that he didn't like McKinney and went back to Dalton, where Blaine met Matt. On their ten month anniversary, Blaine called up Kurt.
"Hey Blaine, I was just about to go to Breadsticks to meet you." Kurt says right when he picks up the phone.
"Yeah... About that. I can't do this Kurt..." Blaine says, his voice sad but hard.
"Do what Blaine? You can't do Breadsticks tonight, because we can do it tomorrow…" Kurt says slowly, knowing something was up.
"I slept with Matt." Blaine comes out and says it.
Kurt is quite for a minute and then says, "Why?"
Blaine hears the sadness in Kurt's voice and sighs. "I just… I don't know Kurt. I hope we can be friends."
"Maybe… I need time." Kurt says slowly, trying not to let Blaine know he was crying. Kurt hangs up and curls up. He thinks 'Why me... I finally find a great gay guy and he cheats…'
Finn told Rachel that she wasn't pretty or popular enough and went back to Quinn again. Finn comes up to Rachel on the Monday after Blaine breaks up with Kurt.
"Hey Rach..." He sounds and looks guilty.
Rachel turns to him. "Hello Finn." She stands on her tippy toes and kisses his cheek. "How are you?"
"Rachel… we need to talk..." He frowns.
Rachel stops and looks at Finn. "What did I do?" She tears up, knowing that he was going to break up with her. She hadn't done anything, she was not clingy and she did not bother him as much.
"You are just... Ugly and not popular enough for me. You are a short, big nose and ugly girl. You will never make it to New York and you suck at singing. You need to shut up half of the time and you do not know everything. It would be better if you just disappeared." He says and walks away.
Rachel sinks down and cries into her knees, while no one notices her.
A few days later, Rachel is running to her English class, trying not to be late. When she passes the auditorium, she hears singing. Rachel peers inside and sees Kurt on stage, singing and crying. Rachel walks in and listens. Kurt finished the song and Rachel claps. Kurt turns around and sees Rachel.
"Rachel? What are you doing here?" He asks.
"I heard you singing and I came in to check it out. You sounded great." She smiles at him.
"Oh well thanks." He gets his sheet music and looks at her. In the past few days, Rachel had changed, she had started dressing different. She now wore jeans and tees all the time. She hadn't sang in Glee club since the breakup, not because she was sad, but because she was letting others shine.
"Were you crying?" She looks at him.
"Why does it matter to you? You're Rachel Berry, you only care about yourself and push others around." He says quickly and angry.
She is taken back and tears up. "Sorry. I was worried and just wanted to help…" She turns around and starts to go away, not wanting Kurt to see her cry.
"Rachel, wait. I'm sorry… I didn't mean to make you cry." He walks to the stopped Rachel and turns her around.
"I do care about you Kurt. I care about everyone in the club, but no one cares back. I am just loved for my voice." She starts to cry.
Kurt turns her around and hugs her, holding her in his arms. "Shhh Rach, I didn't mean to make you cry. I like you. I care about you and I know some others do, even if we don't show it. Your amazingness just is so amazing some times that we can't stand it." He runs his hands threw her hair and rubs her back.
Rachel clams down and sinks into him. "Thanks."
He nods and keeps her in his arms. "I got you Rachy pop." Kurt secretly liked Rachel since kindergarten, since she was the only one who liked Kurt. They were great friends, but once they got into Middle School, Kurt ditched Rachel for the new girl, Mercedes. She forgave him, but he had never forgiven himself. "I will never leave you again."
She nods and grips onto him.
