That night Rachel was on her laptop. She was trying to go into her regular routine, but it was useless.

She picked up her cell phone and quickly texted Kurt "Kurt this is hopeless, I don't feel safe in my own house... I can't sleep."

"I'm on my way" he immediately responded.

Rachel knew not to reject him, he could be quite dangerous when he was upset.

He was there in a matter of minutes, noticeably faking a smile.

"Hi Kurt" said one of Rachel's dads "Rach is up in her room crying."

Both of her dads looked worried

"Don't worry I'll take care of her" Kurt tried to reassure them as he walked up the stairs.

Rachel's sobs echoed down the hall.

Kurt entered her room to see his best friend sprawled on her bed sobbing her eyes out.

"Rachie..." he murmured sitting on the bed next to her.

She looked at him through puffy red eyes.

"I swear to you Karofsky will pay for this... no one hurts my girl and gets away with it!"

Rachel wanted to know what he meant by "my girl" but decided not to ask.

"Want me to sing you to sleep?" he asked.

"Yes please." she rasped.

She closed her eyes while listening to her secret love's voice.

The next day Kurt and Rachel sat in their chemistry class when suddenly the class T.V. clicked on.

"This just in," the nasally voice of Jacob Israel announced "Kurt Hummel and Rachel Berry just friends or something more? Take a look at this exclusive footage."

The footage of their kiss appeared on the screen.

Kurt paled and Rachel blushed deeply as the class' eyes were glued to the screen.

"Kurt what are we gonna do?" Rachel whispered

"I'll think of something."

Jacob's voice came on again "Later today I will have an interview with the couple and get the inside scoop."

As soon as the T.V. clicked off the class glared at the two

"What?" Kurt demanded "Haven't you ever seen two dating people kiss?"

Rachel's eyes widened before she played along saying " Yeah,"

After class Rachel said " Dating, Kurt really?"

"Sorry Rachie I panicked!"

"I don't mind but our Glee Clubbers will probably be upset."

"Kurt...Rachel." Jacob said walking behind them

"Go away Jacob! Go away!" Kurt said beginning to walk a little faster, dragging Rachel along.

" Rumors state that you two are dating care to comment?"

Kurt turned around "Yes they are true we are dating...and we are very happy."

"Rachel what is it like dating the gay guy?"

"It's the best, I couldn't be more ecstatic!" if only you knew how much.

"Well there you have it. McKinley's newest couple!" Jacob was saying as the two walked away.

Rachel peeked into the choir room "Kurt what if they don't like us any more?"

"When did you care if anyone liked you?" he asked. He grabbed her face and made her look at him. "Now we are going in there... and we are gonna smile and stick to our story okay?"

Rachel sighed "Okay."

Kurt smiled "good girl" he gave her a small peck on the lips and led her inside the room.
