The Life and Times of Kurt Hummel
Season 3, Episode 7: MOVING ON AND MOVING IN
7/22- Kurt begins to move on from Blaine, and does so by redecorating the apartment and with a phone call from Finn. However, he and Rachel are left distracted and shocked when Santana visits and decides she's moving in.
"Hey, Lady Hummel."
"...SANTANA?" Kurt said, shocked that their old classmate was standing before them in New York. He was even more shocked, as was Rachel, that Santana had a suitcase on either side of her.
"What are you doing here?" Rachel asked. Santana smiled and rolled her cases in before stopping and looking at them.
"Moving in." Santana said.
Kurt and Rachel stood and stared at her, their mouths wide open.
-THE LIFE AND TIMES OF KURT HUMMEL-
Santana had spent about two and a half hours in New York. Kurt was fed up with her presence in the apartment already. They had all made dinner and changed their minds about letting Santana stay time and time again.
"COME ON! The rent will be reduced for both of you, and you know that I will make us living together constantly entertaining." Santana said.
"Or annoying." Rachel added.
"Okay Berry, we're cool now, right?" Santana asked, and Rachel eventually nodded.
"So, what's the problem? At least give me a chance." Santana said.
Kurt looked at Rachel; they were still both unsure.
"Okay, fine, I'll be all gay and go back to our Glee days and sing to convince you and we end up in a big group hug like a cheesy movie." Santana said and walked over to the stack of CDs in the corner.
"We might not have the song you want to sing." Kurt said.
"Oh please, Hummel, it's from a musical. You'll have it." Santana said and found the CD, placing it in the player.
"She has a point." Rachel said as the music begun. Santana cleared some chairs to create a stage area as Kurt and Rachel sat down. Kurt felt his heart sink as he caught a glimpse of his picture of Blaine through his open bedroom door. Santana began to sing.
"And I am telling you
I'm not going
You're the best man I'll ever know
There's no way I could ever go
No, no, there's no way
No, no, no, no way I'm not living without you
I'm not living without you
I don't wanna be free
I'm staying
I'm staying
And you, and you, and you, you're gonna love me!
You're gonna love me!
And I am telling you
I'm not going
Even though the rough times are showing
There's just no way, there's no way
We're part of the same place
We're part of the same time
We both share the same blood
We both have the same mind
And time and time, we've had so much to see and
No, no, no, no, no, no way
I'm not waking up tomorrow morning and finding that there's nobody there
Darling there's no way
No, no, no, no way I'm not living without you
I'm not living without you
You see there's just no way, there's no way
Please don't go away from me
Stay with me, stay with me
Stay, stay and hold me
Stay, stay and hold me
Please stay and hold me, Mr Man
Try it mister, try it mister
I know, I know, I know you can
Tear down the mountains
Yell, scream and shout like you can say what you want
I'm not walking out
Stop all the rivers, push, strike and kill
I'm not gonna leave you
There's no way I will
And I am telling you
I'm not going
You're the best man I'll ever know
There's no way I could ever, ever go
No, no, no, no way
No, no, no, no way I'm living without you
Not living without you
I don't wanna be free
I'm staying
I'm staying
And you, and you, and you
You're gonna love me!
You're gonna love me, yes you are
Oh, oh, love me, oh, oh, oh, love me
Love me, love me, love me, love me
You're gonna love me!"
The song ended and Santana bowed as Rachel and Kurt clapped.
"Okay, that was quite impressive." Rachel reluctantly admitted.
"So, are you letting me stay or will I need to go all Lima Heights?" Santana asked, her hands on her hips. Rachel looked at Kurt and smiled.
"...Welcome to New York." Kurt said and initiated a cheesy group hug.
"See, I told you!" Santana said.
Kurt walked out of his bedroom that night in one of his latest purchases; a new outfit. He had a silver waistcoat over a white shirt and skinny red jeans. He added a white hat and put a feather in it and looked at Rachel and Santana.
"What do you think?" Kurt asked.
"You look great!" Rachel said.
"Oh please, you look like you've just won the Gay Of The Year award." Santana said with a chuckle. Kurt glared at her.
"Brutal honesty is being kind." Santana said.
"I just want a new makeover; a new look for a new chapter in my life. This is what I need to move on and get on with my career." Kurt said as he took of the hat and threw it back into his bedroom.
"Moving on from what?" Santana asked. A silence filled the room as Santana took a sip of her drink.
"Uh...Blaine and I broke up." Kurt said. Santana spat at her drink.
"WHAT? BUT YOU TWO WERE SO IN LOVE IT WAS CREEPY!" Santana said, shocked.
"Being in different places wasn't working, and I still love him as much as I ever did, and he loves me, but we just need to be on our own. I have Sam looking at for him...I do miss him though." Kurt admitted.
"Yeah, and you were a perfectly matched couple. Your pixie face and baby penguin sex appeal was evened out by Blaine's handsomeness and features that make even my loins tingle." Santana said.
"Gee. Thanks." Kurt said.
"Well, maybe it's not about changing yourself, but what's around you. You already had a makeover when we first got here, and I've seen the look of disgust Santana has given the wallpaper." Rachel said.
"It looks like someone's projectile vomited all over the place!" Santana shouted. Kurt looked around at the space and agreed. A redecoration was certainly in order.
"Okay, I'll change the place around, should I have your permission! That might help me to move on." Kurt said.
As Kurt started painting the walls of the kitchen area a nice cream colour, his phone rang and he smiled as he saw Finn was calling. He answered as he stepped down.
"Hey!" Kurt said.
"Hey dude! How are you?" Finn asked.
"Good thanks, and you?"
"Pretty great. I've been helping out with Glee club at McKinley. How's, uh...how's Rachel?" Finn asked.
"She's fine; she loves NYADA. She misses you, though." Kurt said, and he just knew Finn was smiling on the other end.
"Blaine said Santana has moved in." Finn said.
"Oh, he does read my texts, then! That's a surprise. He still won't talk to me. All I get are smiley faces on Facebook." Kurt said.
"He just misses you. A lot. He's still not himself." Finn said.
"Neither am I. I'm redecorating the apartment to get over it somehow. I miss him to. Tell him that, will you?" Kurt asked.
"Of course I will. We've gotten pretty close now we're spending time together; he does come round to watch any football games on weekends with me, mom and Burt. Kurt, I know it sucks that you two broke up, but I think you've done it for good reasons. It'll be worth it in the end on the awesome day you get back together. I can't wait to see it." Finn said. *
"...Neither can I."
"Well, I'll let you get back to it. Give my best to everyone okay. Love you, bro." Finn said.
"Love you too, Finn." Kurt said as the call ended. Kurt turned around to see an emotional Rachel watching him.
"Is he okay?" Rachel asked.
"He asked the same about you. I think that's all you need to know." Kurt said and Rachel smiled and walked off. Santana slid open the door, returning from her shopping trip.
"I LOVE NEW YORK! The shops are incredible! I bought this awesome necklace fro Brittany that splits into two so I can have a section. Plus, I got you two some gifts to say thanks for letting me stay. I do have a nice side!" Santana said and gave Kurt and Rachel a little bag each. Rachel smiled in delight at a pretty new dress and Kurt smiled at a complete DVD boxset of 'Girls'.
"And this is for all of us..." Santana said and pulled out a new camera.
"How much money do you have?" Kurt asked.
"My mom is a generous woman." Santana said and placed the camera on the table.
"Anyway," Santana added, "This camera is for us to make our memories stay with us forever. And I'm gonna make a scrapbook of photos, starting right now."
Santana set up the camera and took a photo of the three of them together. She smiled as she approved of it when she checked it.
"...Who are you and what have you done with Santana Lopez?" Kurt asked.
"I'll still hit you, Lady Face. Go back to your painting." Santana said. Rachel smiled.
"I'll help you!" Rachel said and grabbed a paintbrush. Kurt smiled as he and Rachel looked at Santana and stared at a third, unused paintbrush.
"What? But ...ugh, fine! But you better know this is reluctantly. RE-LUC-TANT-LY." Santana said and picked the paintbrush up. Rachel put on the stereo and the three of them sang as they painted. Rachel sang first.
"You've done me wrong
Your time is up
You took a sip
Of the devil's cup."
Kurt then sang.
"You broke my heart
There's no way back
Move right outta here baby
Go on pack your bags."
Santana sang as she playfully painted Kurt's cheek.
"Just who do you think you are?
Stop acting like some kinda star
Just who do you think you are?
Take it like a man baby if that's what you are."
The three of them sang together.
"Cause I'm moving on up
You're moving on out
Moving on up
Nothing can stop me
I'm moving on up
You're moving on out
Time to break free
Nothing can stop me."
Santana sang again.
"They brag a man has walked in space
But you can't even find my place."
Rachel sang as she smiled.
"Mm there ain't nothing
You can do
Cause I've had enough of me baby
Being part of you."
Kurt sang as he finished the painting.
"Just who do you think you are?
This time you've gone too far
Just who do you think you are?
Take it like a man baby if that's what you are."
The three of them sang together for the rest of the song.
"Cause I'm moving on up
You're moving on out
Moving on up
Nothing can stop me
I'm moving on up
You're moving on out
Time to break free
Nothing can stop me.
Cause I'm moving on up
You're moving on out
Moving on up
Nothing can stop me
I'm moving on up
You're moving on out
Time to break free
Nothing can stop me.
"Cause I'm moving on up
You're moving on out
Moving on up
Nothing can stop me
I'm moving on up
You're moving on out
Time to break free
Nothing can stop me!"
The song ended and the three roommates laughed together and they enjoyed the glory of their redecorated home. It was time to move on, and Kurt was heading in the right direction.
NEXT TIME…
"My name's Chandler. Nice to meet you!"
Blaine knew he had drunk too much, but it didn't stop him getting in the car.
"I'm forever yours, faithfully."
Burt was shocked to see the state Blaine was in.
