A/N: Hey there! Once again, I am very sorry for being an ass and not updating. I love you all so much though : So . . . I hope you like this chapter :D
I put on my grim face and walked out the door less bubbly, hoping I can fool the teenage girls. I saw Rachel sitting in the front seat of my car, looking down in despair. I honestly did feel bad, but I couldn't help but feel so excited with Blaine! Is that bad? Probably. Thankfully, I am one of the best actors ever so I can pull off this sorrow and bad aura for the girls. Opening my door, Rachel smiled softly at me. Mercedes was in the back looking down, shattered really. Why was she so affected by this? I know we're all besties and seeing one of us, or more, down makes us all messed up, but she looks like she's about to murder someone.
" I'm really sorry Rachel," I heard Mercedes say after we started going. Her voice was so broken it pulled at my heart roughly.
" I—It's alright Mercedes. I know B—Blaine will find out what's right. One day . . ." She had post-crying hiccups still. With my free hand a rubbed her forearm softly, adding some comfort. I felt my phone buzz in my pocket softly, but chose to ignore it as we continued down the road to the Lima Bean. We made it, silence the whole way after, and walked in, silent still.
" I'll order guys, go find a seat somewhere," I said quietly, still not sure how I should talk. They nodded and went to a four-seater table near a window. Seeing there was a rather large line, I checked for my phone that was beeping, telling me that there was a message I haven't checked out yet. It was an unknown number.
From: Unknown
Hey Kurt ;) It's Blaine. Just wanted you to have my number in your phone. I'll see you later XOXOXO
I seriously felt my heart explode, melt, and grow again in like two seconds as I read that text.
To: Blaine x
oh hey blaine :) rach and cedes r pretty upset about the whole seb thing. i havent told them about us yet. still to early. i'll see u later maybe ;)
The woman at the stand was waiting, impatiently might I add, for me as I texted.
" Sir, would you please hurry up? We've got a line you know." Her tone was rude and obviously sarcastic when she told me to 'please hurry'. How irritating. I gave my own bitch glare.
" Sorry, Ma'am. I didn't know it was a crime to text in a café. I'll have a non-fat grande mocha, a peppermint hot chocolate, and a green tea." She glowered at me.
" What's you name . . .?" She muttered.
" Kurt." I paid and walked to the table where the girls were chatting amongst themselves, not too cheerfully, but still, good enough.
" Hey boo," Mercedes said a bit happier than before. " You got me my peppermint hot coco right?" She pointed a finger at me accusingly. I laughed lightly.
" Of course I did darling. And I got you, Miss Berry, your green tea." She smiled a full smile, eyes crinkling.
" It's great for my vocal chords." She rubbed her throat, being herself again. My phone buzzed again in my pocket. Mercedes looked over this time.
" Uh, just, Brittney. Yeah, her cat is stuck under her bed and I'm just helping her get him out." Rachel nodded.
" Yeah, I can see that." She said, twirling her hair and staring out the window.
" Don't get me wrong, I love that girl, she's just a bit slow in the head . . ." Mercedes said thoughtfully.
" Yeah," Rachel and I said simultaneously. We all laughed.
" Kurt, you're non-fat grande mocha, peppermint hot chocolate, and green tea are ready," The rude teen said, bored. I rolled my eyes and signed that she was crazy to the girls as I got up to get the drinks. I could hear the soft giggles of Rach and 'Cedes. My phone was beeping at the table, telling me I have a missed text. I pulled out my phone.
From: Blaine x
I'm really sorry about the whole Sebastian thing Kurt. I don't want to mess anything up with you. I like you a lot.
Was it seriously possible to die over a text? Because I think I did right then. I tried my best to keep a straight face, but it was damn near impossible.
To: Blaine x
dont worry about it blaine :) its all in the past xoxo
I slipped my phone back into my pocket and took a sip from the steaming coffee. Rachel was staring at a spot on the table, rubbing the side of her neck while Mercedes swished around her coco in the cup.
" Hey Kurt," Rachel looked up at me with her big brown eyes, still red-rimmed.
" Yes darling?" I smiled at her softly.
" If Blaine asked you out, today, after this whole incident what would you say?" Well crap. How was I supposed to answer that? If I said yes, she'd be all on my ass about how I don't care about her. But, if I said no, she'd get all upset about how he likes me so much and I like him so why even deny it. I pondered on my answer for a bit before deciding just to say the truth to her question.
" I'd say yes. I would never pass up an opportunity to be with Blaine. I really, really like him. Even if he was desperate enough to be with some tramp, I would still be with him." Rachel pursed her lips and nodded, keeping quiet and sipping her tea. Had I said the wrong thing? Did I mess pretty much everything up? Oh well. She asked me a question, I gave her my answer. Plain as that. Mercedes decided not to make eye contact with me anymore.
" Why Kurt? Why do you like Blaine so much? Why is he so special?" Rachel continued with her petty questions.
" Because he's sweet, gorgeous, amazingly talented, and just overall great. I can't think of any other person I'd rather be with." I said with a bored tone, taking a swig of coffee. I could see rage, sadness, and just being shocked pass over Rachel's features. I said something before she could get any of her argument in.
" And you know what Rachel, what Blaine did with Sebastian is none of your business. He's an adult, he can handle his own issues. He doesn't need you to play mommy for him. You need to quit worrying about Blaine, and start worrying about yourself. You think you're being selfless but you're not. You're only doing this for you. God Rachel, is there ever a moment when you think about someone else?" I just kept getting louder with my rant.
" And another thing," Rachel stared at me with disbelief. " Blaine and I are dating now, so get over it. I'm happy right now and both of you guys' attitudes are bringing me down. Mercedes, you're happy with Sam, stop moping and be content. Rachel, you're going to get married for Christ's sake to my stepbrother. Stop thinking about other people's problems when you've got your own." With that, I stormed out of the café, not daring to look back and I rounded the corner sitting in despair. I felt a few tears leak out of my eyes as I dialed Blaine's number. It picked up on the second ring.
