After Glee, Luke came up to me at my car and hugged me. "I'm so sorry for this morning, Kurt," he said, teary-eyed. "I just wasn't thinking straight. I was still pissed off about seeing that douchebag again."

"Hey, it's fine," I said, putting an arm around his shoulder. "Get in. We're going to get coffee."

Luke smiled and kissed me before walking to the passenger side and getting in.

I drove to the Lima Bean, only to see Jesse St. James get out of his SUV. Luke ducked on the spot. I stopped abruptly and got out of the car, Luke's warnings unheard behind me.

I grabbed Jesse and spun him around. "You, Jesse St. Douchebag, leave Luke alone," I said scathingly. "He doesn't want to see you or hear you or anything from you, so never talk to him again, got it?"

"He still likes me, he's just in denial," Jesse sneered as I turned on my heel and walked away. At that last word, Luke jumped out of the car and, surprisingly to me due to his size, slammed Jesse up against his car door.

"I hate you, St. Asshole. You cheated on me with that bitch and I will never forgive you, so go fucking die or something!" Luke snapped before storming inside. I chased after him, thinking I should stop him before he does something crazy again.

We sat in silence for about 10 minutes inside, our coffees in front of us when Luke got up and walked to the karaoke stage. He took the microphone and feedback screeched, making everyone wince therefore getting their attention.

"I got something to say!" Luke exclaimed immediately following the feedback. "There's someone out there today that treated me like shit when we dated. He abused me emotionally, telling me I'd never amount to anything and I'd 'never be as talented as him'," he said this last part with air quotes. "Well, there's one thing I'm more talented than you in, Jesse St. James, and that's pure-heartedness. But just so you know, there's only one thing that you should get.

"You don't own me

I'm not just one of your many toys

You don't own me

Don't say I can't go with other boys

"Don't tell me what to do

And don't tell me what to say

Please, when I go out with you

Don't put me on display

"'Cause you don't own me

Don't try to change me in any way

You don't own me

Don't tie me down 'cause I'll never stay

"Oh, I don't tell you what to say

And I don't tell you what to do

So just let me be myself

That's all I ask of you

I'm young and I love to be young

I'm free and I love to be free

To live my life

The way I say to do whatever I please,"

I belted out as the song ended. I opened my eyes to see the room filled with burning lighters, just like those rock concerts.

Luke glared daggers at Jesse and said, "Up yours, Jesse St. James," before walking out of the coffee shop.

Glee was first thing the next morning and it still being duets week, it was Sam and Quinn's turn. With Luke leaning his head on my shoulder, I just stared at his curly head for much of the performance.

"Once I was a selfish fool who never understood

Never looked inside myself, though on the outside, I looked good

Then we met and you made me the man I am today

Quinn, I'm in love with you no matter what you are"

"'Cause without love

Life is like the seasons with no summer

Without love

Life is rock and roll without a drummer

Tracy, I'll be yours forever 'cause I never wanna be

Without love

Quinn, never set me free

No, I ain't lyin'

Never set me free, Quinn

No, no, no"

"Once I was a simple girl, then popularity came to me

But I was still a nothing, though a hundred girls may disagree

Quinn!

Fame was just a prison, signing autographs a bore

I didn't have a clue 'til you bangin' on my door"

"That without love

Life is like my dad without his promo

Without love

Life's like making out with Perry Como

Darling, I'll be yours forever 'cause I never wanna be

Without love

So, darling, throw away the key

I'm yours forever

Throw away the key

Yeah, yeah, yeah,"

As they finished the song, everyone applauded and I stroked Luke's hair back. I bent down and whispered in his ear: "I love you." He looked up at me and kissed me.
