AN:

Hello everyone! I am extremely SO very sory for this late update. I have been kind of busy, and this letter was hard to write as I needed to chose particular words not to give away all the reasons why Rachel has been like this with Finn, too soon. So yes, I am really sorry... and I hope none of you has lost interest in this story, as I know there're amazing ones out there! :)

I love you all & thank you for everything!

Hi Broadway twinsie!

Yes, it's me Kurt! Guess from where I am writing this letter? Yes PARIS! I actually cannot believe that I am writing this letter not only from a prestigious and sumptuous palace but also from Paris! Paris like in France! France like in Europe! Europe like out of America and especially out of Lima, Ohio! Can you believe that baby girl? One day I promise you, we will get there just the two of us, you and me; and believe me, we will call it the trip of our life (I don't care what Finn will plan for your future honeymoon, but that will definitely tap it)! I promise you everyone is so good looking here! And the boys…Oh boys! I have never seen in my entire life, so many attractive men in such a short time! And the stores! Especially the designers ones! Rachel, you would be crazy! It's like every clothes are made for me and are calling my name like "Kurt! Kurt! Look at me, I'll fit you perfectly, now buy me!" The city is so gorgeous too! And tomorrow I'll finally attend my very first fashion show! I cannot believe this is actually happening! Music and theatre will always be my first loves, you know that, but I am glad to have all these new opportunities while I am figuring out if I should apply again for NYADA for next fall… But that is another subject… Although I have told you this a thousand times, I am really proud of you and extremely happy that you got into the school of your dreams. I truly have no resentments or bitterness anymore about it. Both, you and me know that this is what you were made for. You belong there.

Anyway, the NYADA subject is not the main purpose of this letter, nor is my trip to Paris. Yes, you do know why I am writing to you: Finn. We need to talk about you and Finn. Even though he is my stepbrother and I am almost like your brother, I do not stick up for yours or Finn's side. I do not have to make a choice, because I don't want to lose any of you. You have to know that right now, Finn is beyond desperate. He is miserable without you. He has been pestering literally everyone with letters, emails and phone calls. Last time he called Carole, he spent the entire phone call trying to extract information from her, just as if she would know something about you or why you have been MIA (with him). He sent letters to everyone from Glee. The other day, he told me, he wanted to contact Miss Sylvester and Principal Figgins, because according to him, they might know something. This has reached a ridiculous stage of nonsense whatsoever. And the worse, Rachel, is that he is plagued by remorse! He is convinced that he did something wrong to you. SO, you have to answer him Rachel. For Heaven's sake, you have to answer him, because I am sick of this situation and sincerely I am not going to keep your secret any longer. Besides I hate lying, I read in last Vogue issue that it can give you wrinkles! Anyway, you have to tell him the truth about this whole situation. It will be better for you and for him. You cannot keep asking Santana, me and everyone to lie to him, you cannot keep lying to him like this; this is too much. But I must say that while I firmly disapprove your method to deal with this problem, you know I am your friend and that I will always have your back and be there for you. But please, please! I beg you, send him a letter, an email, call him, go there or whatever, but please talk to him. And I am sure, no, I am persuaded that he will understand when you will explain this to him. You have to stop blaming yourself and keeping this as a secret. I actually cannot believe you keep this away so long from me and Santana while we were living with you! Speaking of the devil… Santana is definitely not "dealing well" with Finn's extreme concern for you. The other day, she said if it was not for you, that she would have told Finn a long time ago.

Now I understand your motive to hide this "piece of news", but Finn has the right to know. And for everyone's sake, he must know, and soon, because our favorite Latina (yes, I am referring to Santana here) is not going to last long before spilling the truth. I know, this must be hard for you, but Rachel you are a strong, independent, self-driven, talented and amazing woman. You can face Finn and tell him, he won't be as devastated as you think, well maybe a little. Ok, he will be devastated, but he will get over it. He will. And he will, because he loves you. You know I never told you this before, but I have to admit that Finn and you make me believe that true love does really exist. You are both so different, just like opposites, but you complement one another in a perfect way. Who on earth, in William McKinley High would have believe that three years ago? When you were just an annoying girl who was slushied on a daily basis and he was just that stupid popular quarter-back tossing kids into the dumpers? With all you both went through, you deserve to tell him the truth, because I know how keeping a secret is hard. And Finn deserves to know. He was about to marry you a couple month ago Rachel. Do not pretend your relationship doesn't mean anything to you anymore, just as if you forgot about him and all you guys had. Don't do that, because I am sure it means a lot to you, more than you will ever admit it to yourself. And don't roll your eyes Rachel, because I am sure you are probably rolling your eyes and sighing as you are reading this few last lines, but you know I am right, Kurt Hummel is always right. I will say these few last words: what you and Finn have is rare; it is what most people see in romantic movies, it is what Barbra sings about. So tell him.

I love you Rachel, you are my best friend, my Broadway twinsie, my baby girl, my soul mate; and all I want for you is the best, never forget that. I will try to calm down Santana when I'll have her on the phone, and I will try to "smooth down" our crazy Finn. Thanksgiving break is just around the corner, you must be excited I am sure of it, you are probably already packing right now to go home, as I know NYADA gave you a special and exceptional permission to go home earlier; some people doesn't have this chance… I won't complain too much as I am in Paris. I will see you soon.

Please say hi to your fathers and everyone when you will be back in Lima. And take care of yourself.

From Paris with love (I always dreamed to say that),

Kurt Hummel, your best friend.

So what do you think this is all about...? I'd like to have your theories :) Hope you enjoyed this letter!

I am already working on the next one...hardest thing I had to write so far, you'll see why...

Until then, thank you again a lot to all of you!
