Rory met Sam after school and the two walked to Glee club, where Rory was met with embraces from the girls and questions from all about what happened.
"I'm okay, guys, he's gone and I'll be okay," Rory replied to the questions.
"So how was everyone's Christmas break?" Mr. Schuester asked, walking into the room. "We all heard what happened to Sam and Rory, and we wish them the best, right, guys?" Everyone nodded in agreement to this.
"Hi, is this the Glee club?" a voice at the door asked. The Gleeks looked over to see Kevin, clutching his bookbag.
"Yes, would you like to audition?" Mr. Schue asked.
"Yeah, my name's Kevin. I'd like to sing something that has always helped me when I was down.
"Have you ever seen such a beautiful night?
I could almost kiss the stars for shining so bright
Then I see you smiling, I go "Oh, oh, oh"
I would never want to miss this
'Cause, in my heart, I know what this is
"Hey now, hey now, this is what dreams are made of
Hey now, hey now, this is what dreams are made of
I've got somewhere I belong
I've got somebody to love
This is what dreams are made of
This is what dreams are made of
"Have you ever wondered what life is about?
You could search the world and never figure it out
You don't have to sail the oceans, no, no, no
Happiness is no mystery, it's here and now
It's you and me, yeah
"Hey now, hey now, this is what dreams are made of
Hey now, hey now, this is what dreams are made of
I've got somewhere I belong
I've got somebody to love
This is what dreams are made of
This is what dreams are made of,"
Kevin finished. Everyone burst into applause at this end and Kevin bowed.
"Welcome, Kevin, to New Directions!" Mr. Schue said to cheers.
"You never said you could sing," Rory said as he, Sam, and Kevin walked out of Glee club.
"There are a lot of things I haven't told you guys," Kevin replied. "By the way, can I ask what happened to you guys over winter break?" He saw Rory blush and turn away at this.
"Rory was attacked by this jerk from another school. The guy raped him and almost did it again, but some of our friends and I stopped him. He was taken away and Rory now goes to a rape victims support meeting," Sam explained.
"Aw, dude, I'm so sorry that happened to you," Kevin said, putting a hand on Rory's shoulder; Rory flinched.
"He's still a little paranoid; it seems normal enough, this only happened last week," Sam said, taking Rory's hand.
"It's been a week and he's at school?" Kevin asked incredulously.
"More like four days," Sam mumbled, "besides he wanted to go, he's so stubborn. This boy won't take no for an answer." Rory turned to glare at Sam with laughing eyes and Sam interjected, "But I love him anyway. Rory, you know I love you and no matter how much I bitch and moan, I'll never break up with you."
"Aw, you two are so sweet together," Kevin mused. He was already attracted to Rory, but didn't act on it because he saw that Sam was really protective of him and he had seen what Sam was capable of…
A/N: What do you guys think? How does Kevin know about Sam? Leave reviews, please! By the way, the song is "(Hey Now) What Dreams Are Made Of" as performed by dual Hilary Duff in The Lizzie McGuire Movie.
