Hey guys! First of all; I just wanted to say "Wowza!" I had soooo many typos on that last chapter. I guess I was still a little bit on jet lag. So, I apologize for that. But, I'm fine now. Second of all, this chapter will be strictly Kurt POV. I have always wanted to know what Michael's reaction was after Mia cancelled their 'date' so I'm going to write about it. I hope you enjoy. I'm rereading this chapter extra carefully because I don't want to embarrass myself like I did on the last chapter. Well, enjoy.

Kurt normally ate lunch with Rachel. But she decided she wanted to eat lunch with Finn today since they had decided to finally become official. Kurt understood and it would give him more time to either work on homework or work on more songs. He was in his own little world which made him almost positive he was imagining Blaine calling his name.

"Kurt!" Blaine yelled.

Kurt looked up. No, he wasn't imagining it.

"Prince." Kurt teased.

"You'll never guess what Sebastian Smythe just asked me."

"Can I borrow a comb?" Kurt joked. There couldn't be much more that he would've asked him when he didn't talk to Blaine anyway.

"No." He giggled. "He asked me to go to the Baker Beach Party with him."

Kurt's heart all about stopped. He could sure feel it breaking. Surely Blaine said no, right? He had to have said no. Blaine had plans with Kurt.

"That's this Saturday, right?" Kurt asked.

"Well, yeah. So I was thinking um, I could come by the garage next week and listen to your band play then. All right?"

"Oh, yeah. That's-yeah." Kurt said quietly.

"Are you okay?"

No. No I'm not. I'm utterly heartbroken. But you look so happy right now.

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"Alright. Well, I have to go but thank you so much," Blaine grabbed Kurt's shoulder and squeezed it while Kurt went weak at the knees. "Bye!"

"Bye."

Kurt watched Blaine run off and made sure he was out of sight before he had the proper reaction. He looked down at his lunch tray, suddenly having lost his appetite. In a way, he should've seen this coming. Kurt wasn't good enough for Blaine. To be honest, Kurt was stunned Blaine agreed to go with him in the first place.

It didn't matter. Kurt's heart was fragile enough when it came to Blaine and now it just broke. He didn't even think he could make it through the rest of the school day. Not when he was using all the will power inside him to not break down and cry rightthen. He put his notebook back in his backpack and threw away his garbage. He needed to find Finn to let him know that he was on his own getting home because there was no way Kurt was going to stay.

He looked everywhere in the courtyard and in the cafeteria but there was no sign of him. He just decided to send him a quick text.

Heading home. I'm not feeling well. -Kurt

Okay. Feel better. See you at home. -Finn

Kurt didn't lie. He didn't feel good. He felt like his heart had been ripped from his chest. If it was going to make Blaine happy then of course Kurt didn't want to tell him he couldn't cancel. It's not like it was an actual date. It made Kurt hate himself now because if he had agreed to making it a date, maybe Blaine wouldn't have cancelled. But now he'll never find out.

Kurt finally made it home, though he didn't remember going there. He was just grateful that his dad and Carole were at work because he didn't think he'd be able face either of them right now.

He went up to his room and laid under his covers and finally let the tears that he had been holding back fall from his eyes. He didn't know how long he cried. Minutes? Hours? Days? He didn't know. All he knew was that he cried so hard his head hurt and he fell asleep. He woke up by a knock on his door.

"Kurt? Can I come in?" He heard Finn call.

"Sure." He said as loud as he could through his hoarse voice from the crying and the sleeping.

Finn opened the door and came into his room.

"I just wanted to check on you and make sure you feeling okay. How are you?"

"Awful." Kurt answered truthfully.

"I'm sorry you're sick. Do you need anything?"

"No. But thank you for asking." Kurt gave a small smile.

"No problem. Let me know if you need anything."

"I will. Thanks, Finn."

Finn smiled and left the room. Kurt couldn't tell him why he was upset. He didn't want to make Blaine and Finn fight at all so he would just play off the whole being sick thing until Kurt was up to talking about it.

He made no move to even attempt to get out of bed the rest of the day and when Carole came in to check on him after she got home from work, she gave her okay on him staying home from school the next day. Kurt knew he'd be bored out of his mind but there was no way he'd be strong enough to face Blaine. Not yet at least.


Friday went by in a blur for Kurt. He wasn't crying much anymore but he couldn't bring himself to do anything. And he couldn't seem to get himself to smile either. He hated that Blaine could do this to him. And he hated himself that he let himself become this vulnerable for Blaine. He knew he loved Blaine but it wasn't until now that he realized how much. Blaine was special...the most special guy in the world as far as Kurt was concerned.

Once he had no more tears left to cry, he finally got out of his bed around 2 P.M and though he didn't feel like eating, the grumbling sound his stomach was making would prove he was hungry. He didn't want to make himself actually sick from lack of food. He went to the kitchen to prepare himself a sandwich with a side salad. It wasn't much but at least it would comfort his stomach.

He was bored to death in his room so he decided to hang out on the couch and turn on a movie to distract himself, but he couldn't decide on a movie that wouldn't remind him of Blaine. So instead, he decided to watch some Game Shows. It definitely helped clear his mind because before he knew it, Finn was walking in the door.

"Hey, dude. How are you feeling?" He asked when he saw Kurt sitting on the couch.

"I'm...I'm okay. Still a little out of it but it's a good thing I have the weekend to recover. How was school?"

"Same as always. But I did bring your homework home for you."

"Thank you, Finn. I appreciate it."

Finn could tell that Kurt still wasn't really up for talking so he handed him his homework and went up to his room.

Kurt didn't say much more the rest of the day. He did mean it when he said he was feeling better but he was pretty sure it was only because he had no more tears left to cry. And he was starting to get dehydrated from all the crying anyway. He decided that the best way to cheer himself up was to see Rachel so he invited her over.

"I was really worried when you didn't show up for school. Finn said you were sick? How are you feeling?" She asked later sitting on his bed.

"I'm fine. I'll be back at school on Monday."

"Was it just a bug?" She asked curiously.

"I don't know. I just felt awful."

Kurt was being completely honest in his answers even though there were countless loose ends in what he was saying. No one seemed to notice though.

"Well, I'm glad you kind of feel better. But what a day you missed!"

"What happened?" He asked genuinely curious.

"Principal Figgins asked the glee club to sing at the Beach Party. Apparently, the band he wanted cancelled. I told him that, unfortunately while the club's main talent; you, will not be attending, the rest of the glee club would be more than happy to."

"You talked to the club though, right?"

"Of course?"

"And what did they say?"

"They're just going with it. I don't actually know how they feel. But you know how it is; there's always something going on."


Saturday was even harder than the previous days. Waking up knowing that Blaine was getting ready to go out on a date with Sebastian Smythe while he was fighting tears at band rehearsal was almost enough to keep him in bed. But he knew he would go insane if he didn't leave the house soon.

"Hey, Finn?" Kurt walked into Finn's room while he was putting on his shoes.

"Yeah, man, what's up?"

"Do you want to go to a movie tonight?"

"Right now? I can't. I have 'Shut Up and Listen'. But I can go after if you want because that sounds fun. You can even come to my cable show and we can go right after. Rachel will be there too. Want to come?" He smiled.

"Yeah." Kurt smiled. The first genuine one in past 2 days. "Thank you. Let me get my jacket."

Kurt and Finn didn't say much to each other the ride to go pick Rachel up or the drive to the "studio" as Finn called it. In reality, it was just a small, unused room at the high school. When they arrived at McKinley and they were walking through the parking lot, Kurt watched as Finn pulled out his phone to make a call.

"Voicemail...darn. Hey, dude. I just wanted to let you know that I'm here at the school now and I'm just waiting for you. Unless you're already here but I'll see you in a little bit either way. Bye."

Kurt walked behind Finn and Rachel and watched their hands make their way to each other. He felt only a small pang of jealousy until he realized how long they had liked each other and wanted to be together. They really were cute together but he couldn't help but be envious at what they had. The thought carried him into the school and into the 'studio'.

Kurt looked up to see the AV Club president standing in there waiting for him.

"Good evening, Finn!"

"Good evening, Artie."

"Where's your guest?" He smiled, focusing on the camera set up.

"He should be here soon. I just left him a voicemail but I'm getting ready to call him again."

"Okay. Well, Rachel? Kurt? Go ahead and have a seat. We'll be getting started here shortly."

Rachel took her seat next to Finn at the main table while Kurt sat in one of the desks behind the camera, trying not to let his mind wander.

"He's not answering." Kurt heard Finn say. "Rach, would you be willing to fill in for him until he gets here? Maybe do some magic tricks?"

Rachel about jumped out of her seat.

"Absolutely! Oh my. I've...I've been wanting to show off some new tricks for days! Yes, I would love to!"

"Well, then you better get ready because we're about 5 minutes away until we go live." Artie said.

"And now, it's time for your favorite talk show host direct from William McKinley High School, the Funny Finn." Artie banged a gong before wheeling himself over to the camera and having it face Finn.

Kurt never understood why the gong was there but he always admired Finn's willingness to be different.

"It's Saturday and welcome to my cable show, 'Shut Up and Listen.' And later on in my show, I will be joined by our very own Prince Blaine to discuss his positive opinion of the 'Save the Sea Otter Movement.' Until he arrives, I've asked McKinley's magic master, Rachel Berry to entertain us with some slight of hand." Finn smiled.

"Hello, folks." Rachel said a little to enthusiastically.

Kurt's mouth just about hit the floor. He wanted to tell Finn that Blaine wasn't going to be coming. He needed to tell him what happened the other day. Why Kurt stayed home from school and why Blaine wasn't here. But he knew Finn would never let him interrupt his cable show even if the building were on fire. He figured Artie might be his best option. He walked up to whisper in Artie's ear.

"Pst. Artie."

"I can't talk right now, Kurt. I'm in the middle of something as you can clearly see." Artie whispered back.

"Blaine isn't coming!" He said, still whispering.

"What?" Artie turned to look at Kurt.

"He's at the Beach Party."

Artie turned his attention back to Finn and Rachel who were in the middle of a magic trick. Artie waved his hands up in the air trying to get Finn's attention and when he finally faced the camera and noticed Artie, he ignored it and continued.

Artie and Kurt both shrugged and rolled their eyes. They did what they could and if Finn didn't want to listen, that was on him. He did feel awful for Finn though. He was excited to have Blaine come on the show and he was either going to be heartbroken or beyond angry.

Kurt zoned out. He had been best friends with Rachel for years and had seen every sort of magic trick she had thrown his way and didn't need to see it now. But when he saw Finn putting a blindfold over her eyes and pulling out a deck of cards, even he had to say his interest was peaked. He didn't quite understand what the purpose was but he was entertained anyway.

"And indeed. It is the queen of hearts. Thank you, Rachel for your potpourri of prestidigitations for the past hour. Obviously, Prince Blaine has a problem appearing here tonight and I'm sure she has a good excuse," Finn said, very obviously holding back his anger. "I'm Finn Hudson for 'Shut Up and Listen.' Thank you and goodnight."

Artie called cut and Finn immediately stood up from the table and glared.

"Does anyone know what happened to Blaine?!" He all about screamed.

"That's why we were signaling you," Artie started. "Kurt said he's at the Beach Party."

"What?" Finn said, moving his attention to Kurt. "Why didn't you tell me before we even got here?"

"I didn't know he was supposed to be your guest. You never told me! And excuse me for having other things on my mind these past couple of days!"

"He told me this week he was going to do it. Why didn't he tell me he planned on bailing?"

"I don't know. He certainly had no problem telling me he was bailing." Kurt said.

"What are you talking about? You said you didn't know he was going to be on the show."

"And I didn't. I meant bailing on me! We were supposed to go out tonight and he canceled to go with Sebastian to the Beach Bash." Kurt cried.

Finn's mouth fell open and didn't know what to say.

"Is-is that why you stayed home from school yesterday? And why you weren't feeling well?"

Kurt didn't think he'd be able to speak without crying so all he could do was nod.

"But why didn't you tell me?" Finn asked, his voice having gotten drastically quieter.

"I didn't want you two to fight over something like this."

"It's funny isn't it?" Rachel asked.

"What could possibly be funny?" Kurt asked almost offended.

"You didn't tell Finn about this because you didn't want the two of them to fight but they're going to be fighting anyway. I mean...it wasn't necessary for you to not tell him."

"Rach, now is not the time." Finn said.

Rachel, Finn, and Kurt all decided to go to a movie anyway, though no one was really paying attention. They all had too many things on their mind.

Rachel was nervous about what would happen when Monday hit and Finn would have to see Blaine and Kurt would have to face him for the first time since Thursday.

Finn was mixed between anger and sadness. He had never been this mad at Blaine. If Blaine had cancelled, it would've been one thing. But do just not show up without a word was something else. But looking over at Kurt who was wiping tears away from his eyes, even though there was nothing sad about their movie, made him ache for Kurt. Finn knew Kurt. He knew him well enough to know that he didn't put himself out there that much so to make himself completely vulnerable to Blaine and then get rejected...well, it...it must have broken him.

Kurt was a mess. He thought he got all his crying out the last couple of days but when he realized exactly why Blaine hadn't shown up to Finn's cable show, it became too real and he had to let it out again. He wasn't aware of Finn watching him, but he did notice when Finn's arm went around his shoulder and met him with a comforting squeeze.


Sunday was worse than Saturday. Finn was still angry and Kurt was still crying. He was freaking out because he had to go to school tomorrow. He knew he couldn't miss anymore days. He missed enough as it was, but he had a class with Blaine tomorrow. And he knew he wasn't going to last. Kurt was considering just playing hookie. Or maybe telling Coach Bieste that he wasn't feeling well and that he wanted to go to the nurse and then make up him missing class by running some laps on a different day. She was usually understanding so it might work.

"Hey." Finn said, Kurt not even realizing he came in.

"Hey." Kurt wiped a few tears from his face.

"You doing any better?"

"No. You?"

"No."

Neither of them spoke and Kurt didn't want to be the one to break it so he was grateful Finn did.

"Listen...I have a feeling he's going to try and talk to me tomorrow. And I think he's going to talk to me before you. And let me do it, okay? Please just let me say what I will. I have a lot of pent up anger right now and I'm mad at what he did to you."

Kurt nodded.

"You'll be okay with whatever I say?" Finn asked surprised.

"I don't care. And it's not like there's anything for me to say. He broke my heart."

Finn didn't say anything and opted to give Kurt's shoulder a squeeze before he left his room, leaving Kurt alone to continue crying.

I hope you guys liked this chapter! I put a lot of work into this one because we never get to see Michael afterwards. The only eye we get into how he handled it was Lilly saying "How you broke my brother's heart." And I needed more information. This is the only chapter I am planning on doing that is completely Kurt's POV but every chapter should have Kurt POV. Let me know what you thought! Until next time. Peace and love! xoxo
