Chapter one : Kurt's secret
It was a glee club rehearsal , it was no surprise Rachel was taking centre stage . However Kurt wasn't fighting her , he didn't even do as much as roll his eyes . Over the last few weeks in fact Kurt had stopped fighting Rachel for solos , he stopped protesting against Mr. Shu's choice of songs and rooting for Brittany Spears instead , he had even stopped wearing elaborate clothing and opted for baggy t-shirts and jeans . It was like he was a completely different person , it was like he had lost Kurt Hummel and it showed .
"right that's it for today , I will see you all back her tomorrow" Mr. Shu said .
On his way out Mercedes stopped Kurt . " Me and Rachel are having a sleepover wanna come" as much as glee club found Rachel annoying they still hung out with her .
Kurt just shrugged . Normally he jumped at the opportunity for a sleepover . "come on then were gonna hang out at mine" Mercedes practically dragged Kurt out of the doorway .
That night they were at Mercedes watching some cheesy, girly movies . That Mercedes thought she had worked out what was up with Kurt. She could see him sitting in the corner of her bed . Passing around the popcorn but not eating it at all . In fact she couldn't actually remember the last time she saw him eat. At lunch he would sit picking at a plate of green stuff but never actually eating it . He'd lost weight as well you could tell .
"Hey Kurt were almost out of Popcorn , could you get some more" he smiled a weak smile and left to go downstairs and get some from the cupboard.
As soon as he left Mercedes turned to Rachel . "I think I've worked out what's up with Kurt" .
"What?" Rachel asked .
"Well he never eats , and his lost so much weight , I think his anorexic".
"We need to confront him about it" Rachel said worriedly .
Kurt returned with a bowl of popcorn . He put it on the bed. Mercedes picked up a piece and put it in her mouth then offered the bowl to Kurt. He shook his head.
"Come on Kurt you love popcorn" Mercedes continued holding the bowl to Kurt
"I'm just not that hungry" .
This approach clearly wasn't working. Mercedes looked at Rachel as if to say why don't you try.
Rachel approach was more blunt "Look Kurt we know something up".
"I'm fine honest".
"Kurt we know what your doing" Mercedes said "I know your not eating , you forget I've been there".
"I'm eating fine" Kurt protested.
Rachel looked at him "Picking at salad leaves does not count as eating Kurt. I just don't understand . Just tell us why Kurt?".
"Look I'm fine end of discussion". The girls gave up hope, they couldn't get Kurt to talk no matter how hard they tried, but they knew someone who Kurt might to talk to .
Kurt was scared . He thought he was good at hiding his secret , but people had realized . He didn't know what to do. He didn't want people to tell his dad or his step mum Carol he just knew they would over react.
Long after the girls were asleep . He snuck into the bathroom. He looked in the mirror , all he could see was someone fat , huge. He needed to be skinny . Skinny was perfect. He couldn't risk anyone stopping him reaching his goal. He couldn't stop until he was thin. It wasn't like his was ill or anything. He wasn't anorexic. He was just dieting a bit.
