I realize this is really long but it's the title-chapter. I think there's gonna be two chapters left after this one. Comments would be nice.
Mercedes saw Kurt and walked over to him. She knew when Kurt was upset, and he was incredibly upset right now.
"What's wrong?" She asked.
"Nothing." Kurt said.
He was just crying, Mercedes could tell. They were standing right outside the glee room, glee practice was coming up shortly.
"Kurt, please let me in. I'm your best friend, I can't help you feel better if I don't know what's bothering you."
"It's just- I mean, the bullying just really gets to me still. I mean, I don't feel as bad now but I just still feel so small and insignificant. Maybe I shouldn't have came back." Kurt said.
"Kurt, I know it's hard but don't look down. You're such a great person and you're surrounded by people that love and care about you. Did you know that Finn and Puck got Karofsky kicked off the football team? They both have your back, and same goes for the entire glee club, especially me, and don't forget about Blaine."
"I never see Blaine anymore. We hardly talk. We might as well not be dating." Kurt said.
"It's tough at first, but it makes you appreciate your time with Blaine even more." Mercedes said.
"I guess, I'm sorry Mercedes, I'm just gonna go to glee now."
Kurt walked in, leaving Mercedes alone. She picked out her cell phone and dialed Blaine's number. He picked up after the second ring.
"Mercedes, how are you?" He asked.
"I'm fine. Can you talk? It's an emergency." Mercedes said.
"I just finished my last class, I have about fifteen minutes before Warblers practice." Blaine said.
"That's enough time. Listen, Blaine, Kurt feels really bad right now, I just talked to him and the bullying is just getting him down, I told him about all his friends and you, but he just really misses you."
"I miss him too. I've been so busy, I keep forgetting to text Kurt."
"I have an idea."
"Shoot."
"I'm gonna ask everyone in Glee to come to Breadsticks tomorrow night. Could you possibly ask the Warblers to sing at Breadsticks and serenade Kurt, the way you did with that other guy."
"I'll see what I can do. If all else fails, I'll go over to breadsticks and sing to Kurt myself, I can't bare to hear that he's upset."
"Thanks, Blaine. Text me when you find out, okay?"
"Will do, Mercedes. Thanks for the update."
"Anytime."
Mercedes then walked into glee and saw Kurt sitting by himself in isolation. It was then that Mercedes knew what song she would sing for her assignment. Jennifer Hudson was one of her favorite singers and her new album just dropped. Her absolute favorite song on it was Don't Look Down and that's exactly what she wanted to tell Kurt. The rest of the club filed in as well as Will. Mercedes walked up to him.
"Mr. Schue: Couple of things. First, I'm ready to sing my song today, and Second, I need to talk to the entire glee club about something except for Kurt, is there a way that you could get him away from the room for a little while?"
"Yeah, sure. What's going on?"
"I doubt Kurt told you this, but the bullying isn't stopping and he still feels awful. I want to get Blaine to sing to him at Breadsticks and have all of us here to support him. Kurt and Blaine are dating, but Kurt hasn't told anyone other than me, Puck and Finn. He figured he wouldn't say anything because Blaine isn't here. I want him to know that we support him for his relationship and just in general."
Mr. Schue smiled at her.
"I think that's a great idea, Mercedes. I'll take care of it." He said.
Mercedes sat back down next to Quinn and Tina.
"Okay, Mercedes would like to sing us for today. What song are you singing?"
"It's called Don't Look Down, and I dedicate this song to Kurt. Don't let any of those awful people make you feel like you're not good enough, Kurt, because you definitely are."
Kurt smiled at the compliment, and Finn walked and sat next to him and squeezed his hand in support.

The Glee Club got up out of their seats and danced along to Mercedes's song. Finn grabbed Kurt by his hand and got him dancing. Eventually, Kurt got into it.

Kurt smiled at Mercedes and hugged her tightly.
"I'm truly speechless, Mercedes. That was truly incredible, excellently done. Now I need to talk to Kurt for a moment and then I'll be right back to hear our next performer."
"You need to talk to me?" Kurt asked.
"Yes, come with me, Kurt." Will replied.
Kurt looked at Mercedes who just shrugged. He walked out of the room with Will. Mercedes jumped up in front of the room and closed the door.
"Okay, guys. So I got Kurt out of here because I want to talk to you guys about something." Mercedes said.
"What about something?" Brittany replied.
"Can we all hang at Breadsticks Friday Night? Kurt's still really sad and I want us to do something to make him feel at home again. I talked to Blaine and he's gonna come sing for Kurt and maybe the Warblers might come too. Kurt and Blaine are dating, so it'll really make Kurt feel good." Mercedes said.
The entire club expressed their happiness for Kurt admits laughter and noise. When it died down, Finn spoke up.
"I'll go." Finn said.
"Sounds like fun." Tina said.
"How can we do all of this without Kurt knowing? Won't he get suspicious seeing all of us leave to Breadsticks?" Quinn asked.
"I'll have you guys go up first and I'll bring him. I'll tell him I'm taking him shopping or something."
"You'll certainly get him excited by saying that." Puck said.
"Okay, so meet at Breadsticks at six. I'll have Kurt over by seven." Mercedes said.
"What about Blaine? He can't just randomly burst out in song at Breadsticks, I've tried." Rachel said.
"I'll make a reservation for a party space. We can do whatever we want there, as long as we don't get drunk and/or naked." Mercedes said.
"If this Blaine dude sings for Kurt, I think Kurt will probably break that rule." Puck said.
Mercedes heard Mr. Schue and Kurt talk and she quickly walked back to her seat. The two gentlemen returned and Kurt looked confused.
Kurt sat down next to Finn.
"Okay, who's up next?" Mr. Schue asked.
Mercedes felt her phone vibrate and she checked her screen.
Blaine: It took some convincing but the Warblers are in. What time do you want me there?
Mercedes: Get there at six. All of New Directions is gonna be there then too except me. I'm gonna take Kurt there at seven as a surprise, so don't tell him.
Blaine: Okay, I'll be there at six. I can't wait.
Mercedes: Thanks for being such a good boyfriend to him. It means a lot to me.
Blaine: Kurt deserves the best and that's what I'm going to give him.
Mercedes: You know it :)
