"I'd really like it if we could be friends" David says. And that's what we did for years, we remained friends...
5 Years After Graduation
"No, No, No this is all wrong when I said I wanted creativity with this piece I meant I wanted it in a different color" throwing my hands up how was I stuck in this position, my company's first fashion week show was less than two weeks and I was caught up in the way my employee's were screwing up my own sketch works, not to mention it's been over 6 months since I found Blaine in bed with another man in our apartment and have since then moved from the place not wanting to have the memories of that to sleep on. Looking down at my sketches I sigh it's also been that long since I've had any social activity I close my eyes trying to remember to focus and stop thinking or being nostalgic on the past but it's not my mind that drags me out of my reverie of the past it's my cell phone crying out "Boys, boys boys" by lady gaga smiling I slip my hand into my pocket to retrieve it seeing the familiar name on the screen with the text message
Hey, Just thought I'd text and tell you to smile, and that we should get together and catch up when im in NY soon – DK
with a smile I hadn't seen him in a while he was one of my close well really only friend I trusted truly. I press reply
hey D, um well when are you coming to NY next? Fashion week is in 2 weeks, so right now im super busy until my employee's get there head out of there asses – KH
I slip my phone back into my pocket and go back to checking each design to it's sketch and making sure the fabric was correct and they were doing as instructed I sighed as yet again another wrong color was picked to the fabric I grimace thinking that I might need to replace a few employee's after this show is over my phone going off once more in my pocket to keep me from killing an employee or two
that's funny i'm coming in that Monday, if your not too busy during the week could we meet up or else i'll just see if there's any last minute tickets I can grab to the day of your show- DK
smiling I replied fast
Don't you dare buy tickets your on my VIP list consider it done see you when you come in if you don't want to stay at a hotel I have a guest room – KH
I slip my phone back into my pocket in my skinny jeans that I designed myself when I first started my company 2 years ago after I left my internship with dior, I was excited working there but it wasn't what I really wanted to work under someone else s thumb I wanted to do my own thing let someone discover Kurt Hummel in his extraordinary state of dress and that's what happened and here I am now 2 years into my business with my very first fashion show, hoping HOPING... that people find my outfits infectious and buy into my business. I didn't hear my cell go off again I must've turned it on silent by accident but I walked around for another hour then heading back to my office shutting my door resting my back against it I close my eyes humming at my lack of sleep and the disheveled state of my office since the notice of fashion week I hadn't had time to clean the office nor have I had the time to sleep I kept debating what outfits from my sketches to use to design and out of my 30 sketches I narrowed it down to 15 that was hard to do but I did and I split them and now I had to put in an ad in with several agencies for models, male and female and then interview them with a few already finished piece to see if they can withstand the awesome that is K. Beth fashions yeah don't judge yeah, my middle name is a Elizabeth and I used it to my advantage Blaine hated that I used my femininity as a male to my advantage sometimes and I think that's what pushed him into another mans arms shrugging at my thoughts and theories of him I rolled my eyes and proceeded to my comfy desk chair and relaxed into it pulling my phone out I see a few missed text I open the messages reading them
That would be cool, NYs expensive when it comes to hotel rooms and this is a business trip coming out of my own pocket this time I hate when my office sends me places and doesn't give me money to do so um My flight comes in Monday at 9 pm so ill just pick up take out and wait for you at your place? - DK
Kurt, Text me please – Dad
Kurt, OMG call me when you can I got some exciting news for you – RBH
rolling my eyes, I still can't believe Rachel took my brother back after all this time and was now married to him but it guess it's what love does to us if I hadn't left Blaine when I did I was sure that by now we'd be engaged. Shaking my head I expel that thought from my head and reply to the few text messages
That sounds awesome D, um Chinese when you come in okay? And you know where the spare key is unless you kept it. I can't wait to see you so much has changed since the last time we really talked about 9 months ago, damn it's been too long – KH
Whats up dad? How are you and Carol are you both coming into NY for the show please let me know so I can get my VIP list ready oh and tell Carol Hi – Kurt
Rach, just text me your good news oh and when you can tell my brother to let me know if he's coming for my show? And if your coming for my show? - KH
I hated that Rachel always wanted me to call her it's not like we weren't best friends we were but her schedule is a lot more lax than my own I relax further into my chair I close my eyes and mutter oi vey opening my eyes I look to the clock and see 6 pm knowing it's well past time to be out of here I close my computer grab my few sketch books full of designs and then put them into my bag locking it not letting anyone touch this bag, the books, not wanting my precious collection to be stolen. Excited for the show in two weeks with the thought of an old friend coming in that I would like to see. I exit my office I see a few employee's making there way towards the elevator and I head towards them smiling glad to finally be relaxed enough to go home I should head to the local club I use to frequent but I shake my head remembering that Blaine will be there it's Friday night and most alums still hung out there and I knew Rachel would be there with her friends but I wasn't about to run into my ex after 6 months the feeling of his deceit was still high on my nerves I hail a cab and give him directions once I slide into the cab after waving bye to my employee's he begins the trek thru the streets towards my apartment he slides into an open spot on the curb and I expel from the backseat with my bag and give him the fare with a tip thanking him he nods and I make my way into my apartment building saying hi to a few passing neighbors and make my way up the 5 flights as I grab my keys from my pocket and turn it into the door and entering my place flipping the switch to the living room light I check my mail in my hand muttering to myself 'bills, bills, junk, ooo' I stopped at the front of the vogue magazine beaming at the thought of someday my company being in Vogue or Elle or some amazing magazine i'd be fine with Seventeen or Cosmo too. Slipping out of my shoes with my mail in m hands I unwind my scarf with one hand seeing as it's still spring/ winter in the city I toss my scarf on the couch and shed my jacket from my tiny frame draping on the arm of the couch as I walk past it to the kitchen flick the light on heading to the fridge grabbing the cranberry juice setting it out then grabbing the vodka from the freezer setting It next to the juice turning from where I am to walk to the other side opening a cabinet to grab a tumbler pouring the vodka in then the juice adding a few ice cube mixing it just a bit taking a sip sighing whispering 'perfect' I move back out of the kitchen after I grab my salad from the fridge with a fork heading back to the couch collapsing with my drink and food turning on my TV to watch the DVRed fashion runway episodes and the real housewives of orange county.
After a few episodes I felt my phone in my pocket forgetting that I possibly turned it on silent once in my skinny jeans I quickly pulled it answering it once to my ear
"Hummel here" I answered lazily hoping it wasn't anyone important
"Kurt, you never called me!" rolling my eyes at the ecstatic voice of one Rachel berry my sister-in-law / annoying Broadway star
"I'm sorry Rach, it's been a very tiring day" I sound put off about not answering or returning her call "what is it that you want?" trying to jump to the point instead of knowing that she's going to drag this into a 2 hour phone call it's 7 and I just want to start my night routine and get in bed so I can be in to work before my employee's to check my designs and to see if any agencies had already gotten there notices to there models from today.
"Oh Kurt, be nice, I just wanted to tell you I got the day off to go to your show, and me and Finn will be there oh and want to hear the actual news?" her excitement is too much for me as I look down at my nails as her voice grates my ears
"Yes, that's why I asked what you wanted, but thanks for telling me I was getting my VIP together, giving Blaine's ticket to another friend" a smirk on my face growing hoping the dork doesn't show up to my show, he's been begging my forgiveness for a while now and it's kinda annoying that he wants me to forgive him for fucking that chipmunk of a gay in my bed. Huffing I wait for Rachel to continue her news "I'm waiting Rachel"
"oh, okay your sour today you need to get some, oh speaking of that IM PREGNANT" I almost drop my phone at her shout and blink
"WHAT" I shout back I hadn't seen Rachel and Finn since perhaps 5 months, I've been rather isolated from friends, family and basically the world spending or rather putting everything into my fashion my work my pride. I wasn't ready to enter the world at the time after finding your boyfriend of almost 6 years was cheating on you for what I was finding out quite a while.
"yea, I found out today. I'm excited were about 4 weeks, well 1 month." she gabbed about it
"Wow, I'm happy for you and my brother. So I guess there is a niece or nephew in the future do Carol and Burt know?" I asked her if my parents knew "or your dads" I furthered the words knowing she would've already told her fathers .
"Yes, you were the next on the list after the parents I figured I was waiting for you to get off work that wasn't something I wanted to share thru text message I swear 'just text Rach' yeah no." she almost lectures me towards the end I stare at the wall listening to her im truly happy I know I am, my body and energy has just been zapped for the moment
"Well im happy for you and Finn, as i've said. I'm sorry im not as excited I just this is a really hard and trying month with the show coming up soon" I exasperate as I sink farther into my couch.
"Wait, I just realized you said something I didn't fully grasp" she paused as I raise a brow as if she could see "your giving someone a ticket to be VIP?" she questioned I palm my face frowning knowing she'd eventually get that
"Yes, Rachel I have a friend flying in from Chicago on business and he's staying here with me and going to my party do you have an issue, mother" I grumble my attitude finally getting taken away with me her nosy attitude just getting the better of me as I hear her huff in my ear
"you need a midol, Kurt." she sasses back, after all the years she's finally gotten out of her awkward self absorption and got a bit of a backbone times like now it wasn't such a good thing but it is what it is.
"Alright, fine. Remember how I became friends with David after his attempt?" I waited as the silence on the other end of the line seems to tell me she's trying to think over all her fame back to her not so simplistic Rachel days
"oh Karofsky?" she questions me like she doesn't already know
"Yes!" I said almost a bit too happy, I was looking forward to seeing him, it's been too long and we hardly talk anymore because of my work so it would be nice to see a familiar face who isn't family or just a familiar face in my isolation.
"cool it'd be cool to see him" she says I hear a bit of disdain in her voice but im not going to push her my family and some friends finally accepted that David was going to be apart of my world and I wasn't going to take there shit for it.
"yeah, but hey it's almost 8 yes I know before you say im an old person, im only 23 but I have work in the morning unlike some people" I say with a bit of a divaness toward Rach as I know she doesn't have a call time til normally noon.
"alright good to talk to you Kurt don't be a stranger anymore please and have a good night" She says
"Night Rachel, I'll try" I say with a little bit of honesty, I think as I hang up I stand grabbing my empty dish and my empty cran-vodka I set the glass in the sink, the trash in the sink and I head towards my room after shutting off all the lights in the apartment wrinkling my nose as I realize yet another night of loneliness, yet another night by myself I sigh, as I start might night routine, Shower: Shampoo, Conditioner, body wash, brushing my teeth. After the shower I sit at my vanity for cleanser, exfoliation, and moisturizing before bed while I leave the crest white strip on I finally dress in pj's as I tear the white strip off and slip into bed and with that I plug in my phone to it's charger and put the eye mask on and whisper to myself
"Night" hoping that one night i'll be brave to finally have someone next to me again...
