Kurt was tired of being alone, he was tired of feeling like shit, he was tired of feeling unwanted. Rachel was out again with Brody, forgetting all the times he'd stayed in with her while she had pined for Finn. Kurt had always known that Rachel was slightly self absorbed and he couldn't deny he was at times inclined to be the same way. But he never forgot a friend when they needed him and he needed one now.

Life had been going great or he had thought it had. He had a dream job, a great place to live and the perfect boyfriend (or so he had thought). It had taken less than a month for his relationship to crumble to pieces. He hadn't seen it coming and maybe he had held some of the blame in that respect. Work was going well and he had been working long hours and was spending time bonding with his colleagues. So he had missed a couple of calls and one or two skype dates and maybe he hadn't listened to all the goings on at McKinley. Was that reason enough to go online and find a stranger to fuck. It should of never come to that. Blaine could of emailed or left a message for him to call as he needed to speak to him urgently about what he had been feeling. He had came to New York out of the blue to confess, so why couldn't of he just came to talk about everything, instead of 'hooking up'. Kurt could have forgiven him and they even could of worked it out, but no Blaine being Blaine didn't want to take any responsibility for what had happened. He laid it all at Kurt's door in one short sentence,' I needed you and you weren't there.'

Then the flowers came with a short 'please forgive me' note. Kurt felt like one of those wives you see in movies or on tv who always forgave the rich good looking husband any misdeed for the price of a banquet of flowers or some expensive jewellery Then came the calls from so called friends telling him how Blaine was suffering and Kurt should forgive him already, like Kurt was just doing it to punish him. It had taken a trip home for it to finally get through to everyone that Blaine and himself were over for good. Kurt made it clear that Blaine's cheating was a bit more than just kissing someone else like they had been lead to believe. He had made clear to them that he was upset at them for just assuming he was the sort of person who would withhold forgiveness as a form of punishment and that forgiveness is only given if someone was truly sorry for a mistake they had made and as Blaine had stated his reason for cheating was down to Kurt and the lack of attention Kurt had been paying him. After that he was left alone by them all.

So here Kurt sat on a Friday night alone.

''Kurtie I'm hoommee.'' Rachel slid the door to their loft wide open.''Why's it so dark in here? Kurt, where are you?''

''Rachel Barbra Berry are you drunk?'' Kurt stepped out from his bedroom.'' If your dads find out they will come and carry off back too Lima.''

''No Kurtie I am not drunk, I'm...'' Kurt to hear someone whispering to Rachel, but he couldn't see them.''I'm high on life and not liquor.'' At this point Rachel fell through the opening landing face first at Kurt's feet.

Kurt bent down to help Rachel up.''Come on let's get you to bed little star.'' Rachel looked up and flashed a smile at Kurt after hearing his nickname for her.

'' Oh no Kurt I can't go to bed yet, I haven't given you your present.'' Rachel pulled herself to standing while holding on to Kurt for dear life.

''Ok whats my present and why hasn't Brody come in from the hallway yet?'' Kurt had managed to get Rachel to their sofa and sat her down.

''Well you see Kurtie, Brody is not in said hallway as he is a cheating rat.'' Kurt stood opened mouth looking at Rachel as she continued.''We were in Callbacks and I was doing 'Don't rain on my parade' on stage and when the applause died down ...and even if I do say so myself it lasted longer than anyone else's..''

''Rachel your wondering of track sweetie, get to Brody the cheating rat.'' Rachel was brought out of her I'm better than everyone rant.

'' So I got of stage and went to look for said ratboy...that's good isn't it ratboy, yes from now on he will be known as ratboy..''Kurt rolled his eyes and mumbled how this was going to take all night.'' Oh yes sorry. I found him down in that little side alley by Callbacks not only sucking face, but he was well into fornicating with Miss July against the wall. I must say I was very impressed, she must have a very good range going by some of the notes she was hitting.'' Rachel started laughing to herself.

''Are you ok little star? You don't seem that upset about this.'' Kurt could quite understand Rachel's reaction.

''No I'm not upset silly.'' Rachel looked back around to Kurt who had moved to the kitchen area to put on some coffee.'' He was my rebound guy. You know like Puck when we were in high school. Like all the famous stars do.'' Kurt looked at the girl in confusion.'' Finn was my love and then we split, so to help myself get over him you get a rebound guy who keeps your mind of things till you get over it or find love again.''

''So you were using him to get over Finn and now if I'm not mistaken it doesn't matter that he cheated, cause he had served his purpose.'' Kurt hadn't meant to sound judgemental but that's how Rachel took it. The girl jumped to her feet and swayed her way towards Kurt.

''See this is one reason why it's best you didn't go into the biz as a career. This is why Blaine cheated...''She slapped her hand across her mouth trying to stop the flow.

'' Really, that's what you think is it.'' Kurt turned and headed to his room.

Rachel stood by his door'' Kurt come out please. It came out wrong. I meant Blaine cheated cause he is like me, not because of you.'' Kurt pulled opened the door and looked at Rachel raising an eyebrow for her to continue.''People like me and Blaine live for being centre of attention in every aspect of our lives and when we're not we do stupid stuff like cheat or send our competition to a crack house or flirt with our rivals to get the edge. Blaine was pissed he wasn't the centre of your world any more so he went found someone to give him the feeling he was missing. You see Brody understands that aswell, but he should of finished things with me before he went with that woman.'' Kurt could see some logic in her drunken rambling.'' But he will learn not to cross me and now I can take care of July just like I did Ryeson.''

''Rachel, I don't think you should do what I think your going to. She may have not known about you and Brody.'' Kurt knew of Rachel killer streak when she wanted her own way and tried to explain that it will come back to bite her one day, but as always she wouldn't listen.

Rachel dismissed what Kurt had said with a wave of her hand.''It's time for your present. Close your eyes.'' Rachel walked back to the door and gestured to the person outside to come in. She closed the door back up and helped maneuver Kurt in front of their guest.''Open your eyes. Surpise, I found you a rebound.''

''What the fuck Rach...I don't want a rebound...'' At this moment Kurt opened his eyes and focused in on the smirk spreading across the face of the one person Kurt thought he'd never see again.''Smythe, what the hell are you doing here?''

''Well hello to you too gay face, miss me?'' Sebastian looked Kurt up and down drinking in the site of a very casual looking Kurt. Neither of the two noticed Rachel head to her room.

Like the idea? Let me know in a review.
