Mercedes POV
She was waiting nervously in Starbucks. Why did this whole loving him thing have to be so…open? It was once a closed book but now a wide and broad stand waiting right in front of him to humiliate her. If only the other girls had not confessed. What everybody failed to realise was Mercedes at the back sweating and nervously darting her eyes back and forth trying her hardest to will down the urge to dart far, far away from it. What all the other girls were lucky for was that they weren't Kurt's best friend. They weren't the ones who could potentially be ruining the greatest friendship they ever had.
Why did it have to be her? Everything had gone so well in her life. Except for the occasional bullying but then again she wasn't bullied much like the others. She got slushied that's for sure but considering what the others had been through it wasn't anything to compare by.
Her thoughts got popped when she heard the little bell ringing signifying the arrival of another customer. Lifting her head up Mercedes replaced her worried and angst ridden frown with a forced and worn-down smile. Hopefully it wouldn't be too obvious that it was fake but then she remembered this was her best friend she was talking about and no matter how much she didn't want to admit it Kurt knew her inside and out. She was an open book to him.
Kurt sat down on the plastic chair across from her and she admitted in her head to thinking about holding hands with him across the table.
"Hey Mercedes, it's been quite a while" Kurt said with a weary smile.
"We saw each other the other day at the hospital and we talked to each other yesterday" Mercedes reminded him with a slight teasing manner edged into her words.
"Hey, forgive me but I couldn't help feel like it was further apart than that when it's you" Kurt smiled a little goofily and Mercedes couldn't help the blood that rushed up to her cheeks and the goofy grin that spread across her face.
Kurt, seeing her lovesick stare, immediately tugged on his collar and nervously tried to change the subject. Really, it would be harsh of him to lead her on like that and this was his best friend he was talking about.
"Um…so how's everyone been? Last time I checked Jesse wanted Rachel back" Kurt, for some reason scowled a bit at that, and clenched his fist.
"What? You're kidding me, right? Where did you hear this?" Mercedes gasped out in shock. What the hell had she missed? Kurt was the one who was in hospital and yet somehow he had found more gossip than her.
"Quinn told me after visiting me yesterday. It shocked me too. I really hope she doesn't go back to him" Kurt replied.
"Kurt, if you're not too embarrassed with me saying this but Rachel…she likes…you" Mercedes bit the inside of her cheek as she told him this. "You know this"
"Yeah but how sure are we that Rachel wouldn't just ditch the idea of liking me to go with someone else?" Kurt replied.
"Oh please, this is Rachel we're talking about. She's obsessive, especially when it comes to men. You know she's going to do anything to make you hers" Mercedes pointed towards him at the last three words while Kurt gulped and blushed.
He did know what Rachel was like. She was the same with Finn and all the rest of the guys she dated. Heck, she even had the guts to ask out Blaine even with knowing Kurt had liked him. He sighed. This meant a long trip down memory lane with all the same habits of hers popping up around him. To be honest it was irritating as hell at points but cute at the same time but it would be worse if it was aimed at him.
"So, how's your head?" Mercedes asked at the silence.
"It's fairing up. I tried walking around yesterday without feeling dizzy but that didn't work but today it actually feels a lot better when I walk around" Kurt smiled.
"Well, it's good to know that we can finally sit down and have a talk without feeling….Oh my god! It's not awkward right? I mean, with me having feelings for you and all" Mercedes eyes widened and she bit her lip.
"No Mercedes, things could never be awkward enough to split us apart. You're my friendship soul mate. No-one and I mean, no-one, could take your place as my number one friend" Kurt looked down at the coffees they had ordered not too long ago and decided to try something. He got the stick that you use to stir the coffee with and dipped it into the Mocha.
Mercedes watched perplexed as Kurt drew with the stick onto the tissue on the table. She blushed as she saw he had drawn a heart made out of the froth.
"This is to show that no matter who I end up marrying you will still have half my heart" Kurt explained. His cheeks showed a nice rosy tone to them and his smile gradually turned into one that showed his teeth. Mercedes saw this and that's when it hit her.
…She would never have a place in Kurt's heart as his girlfriend.
…She needed to move on from her dreams.
…She needed to face reality.
…Kurt wasn't hers.
Rachel's POV
Rachel waited outside of the big superstore. She knew people were staring at her. They always did when someone was standing around not doing anything. It was tempting her to walk off and forget the whole thing but she stuck it out because she knew that he sounded desperate on the phone and she couldn't just ditch him.
After a while she heard a call of her name. Looking over she saw someone who she hasn't thought about for some time.
"Hey Rachel!" Jesse spoke with a lot of enthusiasm for someone who said he just wanted to meet up as friends. Quinn had warned Rachel that there might have been some feelings there still within Jesse but she hadn't said anything more on the matter which left Rachel wondering what on earth Jesse would want with her.
"Hi" Rachel said and walked with Jesse beside her heading down town. They weren't going anywhere, just walking but it was enough for Rachel.
"I'm glad you accepted to meet up with me. To be honest I actually didn't think you would turn up or even hear me out. I thought that the moment you heard me on the phone you were going to hang up" Jesse chuckled lightly and smiled in a nervous manner.
"I almost did…" Rachel answered which made Jesse more uncomfortable as he shifted his hands in his pockets and kept his eyes forward this time. He did steal some glance at Rachel every now and again but it was rare and Rachel brushed it off.
"So, why did you want to talk to me, Jesse? You haven't spoken or bothered to see me in what? A year?" Rachel moved her eyes over Jesse's tense form letting herself try to keep the bitterness out of her tone.
Jesse gnawed his teeth on his lips and coughed. "Well, um…it's something…unbelievable really. You probably won't believe me at first. Trust me, I didn't do anything at first because I was so busy sinking in shock"
Rachel kept silent and nodded her head listening to him.
"I have to tell you that…I haven't stopped thinking about you, Rachel. It's been hard to try and get over you when I see you everywhere in my thoughts. It's nerve wracking having your heart flutter over someone you betrayed. Yes, I know and can admit I betrayed you…and your friends"
Rachel was shocked. Okay, only mildly shocked considering Quinn had warned her but even the warning couldn't stop her from feeling the hit of someone telling you they still thought about you and possibly still had feelings for you.
"This is all a little bit sudden for you probably but I know that once I have a grasp on something that is right I don't let go. I want our relationship, Rachel. We would make it this time. I know it and if you'll just give me a chance I want to give it my all again" Jesse explained.
Rachel stopped and kept her head down. Brining her eyes up to meet his Jesse waited for her response.
"Jesse, you had your chance. I don't care how deep your feelings run for me, you still have the fact that you betrayed me and my friends who are like family to me now" Rachel frowned.
"I know, I know but listen to me. We've got to make this work"
Rachel stopped him from carrying on. "No, we haven't got to make it work. I've moved on from you and I…can't just lay my heart on the line like that again for you. Besides, I like someone else" Rachel moved forward but stopped in her tracks when Jesse came and stood in front of her.
"Someone else?" His face showed confusion and hurt before jealousy swept over his features.
"Yes, as a matter of fact there is and he is sweet and kind and everything you're not!" Rachel raised her voice on the last word and turned around to go the other way.
"It's Finn, isn't it?" Jesse's voice showed depression and a little bit of selfishness in there but it was ignored.
"Actually…no" Rachel said slowly smiling at the thought of the real boy who had caught her attention. Her heart sighed in joy at the thought of him.
"But then…who? Puck? Artie?" Jesse was perplexed. When he had first met Rachel she was so deeply infatuated with Finn he had worried that his plan would not work. At that time it did work but that wasn't the point.
"None of them" Rachel thought about whether she should actually tell him or not. "It's Kurt…" Rachel bit her tongue and cursed it for blurting things out when she wasn't ready.
"Kurt? Who's that…?" Jesse asked himself. He scrunched his eyebrows in thought when suddenly it dawned on him. His eyebrows raised in surprise and his eyes widened. "Kurt! The gay one?"
"For your information he's bi-sexual and yes, it's him" Rachel gritted her teeth in frustration.
There was silence and Rachel felt the tension crawl at her. Honestly, she really wished she could leave right about now. Rachel knew it would be rude but she stood up and started her way towards home.
"Wait!" Jesse called. Rachel turned and waited. "Can we at least meet up again? I want to at least be friends with you?"
Rachel thought for a minute and then nodded. "Fine but it'll take quite some time" With that she finally made her way towards home. God was she ever glad to be out of that awkward situation.
Jesse did seem like he had changed a bit but how could she trust him? Maybe in time but it seemed like too big a step.
What had happened to her sanity?
Sam's POV
Sam sighed as he shut the door of the motel behind him, not even looking back at it. He was that ashamed of it. He wasn't blaming his dad on any of this or anything but he couldn't help thinking about how wonderful his life was back when his dad actually had that job of his. He, himself, had tried finding a job himself to help out with everything but with all the people in this town trying to get jobs themselves he didn't exactly have the best chance.
"Sammie!" Sam turned and saw his little sister running up towards him. Crouching down he smiled at her.
"Where are you going?" The little blonde girl asked.
"I'm just going for a walk for a little while. Say goodbye to your brother for me, would you?" The small girl nodded looking crestfallen before hugging her brother close. He always went for walks nowadays.
Sam stood up and waved before turning back around and dropping his smile as soon as his little sister was out of sight.
Could his life ever get better? Sure, people tried helping him out but he still did miss the days when he and his family actually had a proper house and a place to sleep comfortably. Nowadays he hates waking up because he knows what he's waking up to.
His shoes kicked along the ground and his worn face showed how tired he was from sleepless nights. He still kept wishing for a better day where he actually didn't care about the way his life was now but he knew that it would be a long wait for that.
Tina's POV
She had some thinking to do. She had heard that Mercedes was dropping out of this whole love business with Kurt and to be honest, she would be lying if she said she hadn't been thinking about it herself. Sure, she still had feelings for Kurt but…it was tiring just fighting all the time especially when it was obvious who had captured his heart. It was like fighting a battle you knew you couldn't win. Mercedes was probably doing the smart thing by backing out because there were some girls who just were so persistent.
Her feelings were getting stronger but there was nothing she could do about the other girls and Kurt's feelings. If he liked someone else then who was she to try to come in between him and his feelings?
Tina walked out of her house bored. Nothing was going on today as it was a weekend which meant it was Saturday and which also meant it was one of those days where she had nothing to do. She thought about meeting up with Mercedes or Rachel or maybe even Brittany but she just decided to go for a nice quiet stroll around her block. No people around, no noise and no distractions.
Well on the way around her block Tina bumped into someone she could have done without this hour.
Rachel.
"Hey Tina" Rachel greeted chirpily. She was way too happy when she met up with one of her friends.
"Hey Rachel…" Tina said hesitantly as she walked slowly forward giving Rachel time to catch up. She wasn't about to be impolite towards Rachel and she didn't like it when people got angry with her so it's best to avoid running away from Rachel.
"So what are you doing out here?" Rachel asked grinning with her hands behind her back. Her polka dot skirt swished in the light breeze and her hair went along with it.
"Uh, just to think, you know" Tina answered slightly nervous. She really didn't feel like talking about what Tina was thinking about.
"What were you thinking about?" Tina widened her eyes. She was really nosy.
"I'd really rather not talk about it" Tina answered.
"Aw but I'm your friend, aren't I?" Rachel pouted and made a mock sad face.
"Yeah, you are, but I just don't want to talk about it" Tina continued her fast pace hoping Rachel would just get tired and decide to leave.
"Come on, you can trust me" Rachel continued pushing her.
"Rachel, its private" Tina answered in a voice that surprised even her. She didn't know she could sound so demanding. Unfortunately for her Rachel was stubborn and made people go mad with her constant questions to get the truth out of you.
"But Tina, I'm an excellent secret keeper" Rachel nagged.
"Weren't you the one to blurt out to Finn about the baby thing?" They had stopped and now were standing in front of a bench. Tina sat down and placed her hands in her lap as a nervous habit of hers. It helped soothed her for reasons even she didn't know.
"Well, yeah, but we really don't need to go into that detail and it doesn't really matter. So what were you thinking about?" Rachel giddily smiled as she sat down next to Tina and leaned forward a bit.
"Ugh, fine, alright. I'll tell you but you have to stop asking me after this about anything, got it?" Tina got a little bit frustrated but she couldn't help it. It just burst out of her before she could react.
"Promise" Rachel put a finger to her lips and made a zipping motion.
"Well, I was having second thoughts…about this whole ordeal with…Kurt and everything" Tina blushed and she bit her lip. This was more awkward than she thought it would be.
"Oh" Rachel's mouth shaped into a perfect 'O' shape and she looked down at her skirt un-creasing it slightly. She fell silent and Tina was thankful for the minute of silence from Rachel but it didn't last long.
"So, are you seriously considering…just giving up?" Rachel asked. Tina knew she had to get serious about this now.
"Come on Rachel, him and me, we never had any chemistry. We hardly talked, I tried hard but it didn't work. Do I still love him? Yeah, of course I do, but I know when something doesn't work and trust me, our relationship would never work" Tina looked down and it was silent for a minute. "I really do like him. You're quite lucky. I think you have a bit of a chance but I have to say there are a couple of people who have more chance"
Rachel looked up. "Mercedes?"
"No" Tina answered. "I know when Kurt stares at Santana, he's not just staring at her because he can and he's not staring at her like all the other guys do. I don't know about her but he's hooked. Completely" Tina smiled sadly as she thought about the fact that she probably never even had a chance.
"Whoa" Rachel wanted to be angry at the fact that Santana was mentioned but she had seen the way Kurt had stared at her. She didn't want to believe it at the time.
"Listen Rachel, I've got to get back now but I don't want you mentioning this conversation to anyone" Tina looked to Rachel to make sure she had heard and understood. Rachel's mouth was slightly open and she was staring into space at the bench but she was conscious enough to nod her head slowly.
Tina shook her head in what could be described as amusement and walked off sighing. Nothing could make her want to stay and spend more time talking about this but she had now officially dropped out of this competition and she was happy. She was sad about actually figuring out she never had a chance but she was happy that she never had to carry on being blinded by love. She could move on and she could let Kurt be happy with someone he actually had feelings for.
She just hoped all the other girls realised before they all got hurt.
Brittany's POV
She may not be smart but she knew when her friend, Santana, was in love. She saw it when Santana was in love with her and how her looks would watch her everywhere. People comment on how stupid she was but she knew better. She was a bit…below everyone but she could read people really well and that's what they all didn't realise other than Kurt.
Kurt was a really good friend for her. He understood her and didn't mock her for being who she was. Probably because it would be a bit hypocritical of him but she liked to believe it was because he liked her and wanted her to be happy and not sad. That's why Mr Quacks liked him because she liked him. Mr Quacks and she were inseparable so if Mr Quacks didn't like someone she wouldn't like them. But luckily Mr Quacks likes Kurt so she can hang around with him still.
Brittany sipped at her milkshake standing in the middle of the mall lost. She didn't know where she was but she just wanted to drink her milkshake. Maybe someone she knew would be around here. Brittany was in luck though when she saw Kurt walking past.
"Kurt!" Brittany ran to catch up to him.
Kurt raised his head and his eyes widened as he saw Brittany running towards him. Holding out his arms he scooped her up and hugged her to death.
"Britt, what are you doing here?" Kurt smiled and his eyes were wide in shock.
"Well, I was looking for a really cool hat for my cat to wear but then I got lost so I bought myself a milkshake" Brittany shook her milkshake in Kurt's face and smiled.
"Oh, I see" Kurt looked around. "I'm shopping around for a new sweater so I could help you if you want. It'll be fun, we can go and get something to eat after it" Brittany smiled at Kurt's enthusiasm and grabbed his hand letting him drag her towards various shops.
They rushed towards a small but expensive looking shop and made their way inside. Rushing around they tried on various hats and laughed as they tried on silly hats along the way.
"Hey Britt, what do you think?" Brittany turned around and almost burst out laughing.
Kurt was standing there wearing a hat with a chicken sat on top with its legs hanging down the side of Kurt's face. There was a flag sitting on top saying 'Squawk!' Kurt rolled his eyes at the unoriginal flag and put the hat back down on the shelf. Brittany picked up a pink feathered hat that adorned little fluffy monsters on top of it and started walking down an invisible catwalk. She strutted her way towards a mirror and then back down towards Kurt who was laughing and covering his face in his hands when Brittany blew him a kiss.
Brittany decided to make the most of this and strutted her way towards Kurt and leaned down in his face. She blew lightly on his face and kissed him on the nose.
Kurt blushed and grabbed Brittany's hand. "Brittany, we need to talk"
Brittany looked at him confused. This couldn't be good, right?
They walked into a changing room and slid down the wall to sit on the floor. Silence filled the small room until Kurt laid his head on Brittany's shoulder.
"Brittany, I don't think it's a good idea for you to try and get me to love you anymore" Kurt was blunt with it and he grabbed her hand stroking it making sure she was okay with it. "I love you, I really do, but I think we're better off as best friends. It's not that I don't want to stop hanging out with you or anything but…this is going to sound really weird but I love…someone else" Kurt blushed at the thought.
Brittany looked down at Kurt's hand stroking hers and sighed. Her lips twitched downwards. "Do you really still love me?" Brittany asked in a whisper. She felt hot tears roll down her face.
Kurt looked at her. "Of course I do, just not in the same way you love me"
"B-but you don't want me to love you this way, is that it?" Brittany choked up on her sobs. Kurt heard her sniffling and crying and rushed to pull her in a comforting hug.
"Brittany, listen to me. No matter what way I love you you've got to remember that I still love you. Please don't get upset with me, I don't like it when you're upset" Kurt rubbed her back gently with one hand and the other grabbed the back of her head.
"But I don't understand why you can't love me the way I love you. Am I hideous? I'm so confused" Brittany scrunched her face up as she could feel her nose running and her eyes start to itch from the constant tears that fell from them.
"Brittany, I don't ever want to hear you call yourself hideous. You're lovely and beautiful and I know not a lot of people call you this but I believe that you're smart in your own special way. Please don't let this get to you. I really didn't mean to hurt you" Kurt rocked Brittany back and forth. Brittany made her way out of his arms and stood up making Kurt stand up with her.
"If you don't mind I need some time to think about this" Brittany said and Kurt looked shocked before nodding. When Brittany and Kurt had made it outside of the store and back into the mall Brittany started walking away from a gobsmacked Kurt. He raised his hand and waved goodbye to her.
"Don't be hurt, Brittany" He whispered before his raised hand fell to his heart keeping it there.
How could anything like this make her sad you might be thinking? Well, Kurt made her feel special and she enjoyed being his only one and now she was nothing. She had stuff to think about and she needed time.
She needed a new heart.
Finn's POV
He saw his brother come back home and make his way down to his bedroom. Of course he had asked if he was alright and he got a mumbled fine in response so he didn't bother to ask anything else. He was never any good at these small intimate conversations where you get your true feelings out. It made him uncomfortable and embarrassed because he either didn't know what to say to comfort the person or he didn't know how to give them advice. And it was awkward when he last tried so he's never tried again.
He sat down and turned the telly on. Angelica, their dog now, jumped up into his lap and snuggled down for a nap. When he flipped channels he noticed nothing interesting was on so he left it on whatever channel it was on now and got up for the kitchen. Angelica followed him and Finn rummaged around the cupboards for some food before cheering when finding some pop tarts.
Finn was just happily munching away when something on TV caught his attention. Rushing back he sat down in front of it and listened to the news report.
"The huge mall known as Ohio Shopperama, because some people are uncreative, have decided to have an all-out sales offer so now every single store in there is selling their products at reasonable prices!" The news report held up a Frappuccino smiling. "I got this Frappuccino for half the price is usually is so get down here while you can!"
Finn stared at the TV with big, wide eyes not moving an inch. He suddenly grinned and grabbed his coat.
"Hey Kurt, get up here!" Finn called waiting for his brother to come upstairs. As soon as he had he threw Kurt's dark blue coat at his face.
Kurt caught it and looked at the tall teen with a confused expression on his face. "What the hell, Finn?"
"We're going to the mall" Finn said giddily. He moved to the front door.
"No, Finn. I've just came back from there, I'm not going back" Kurt made to walk back downstairs but Finn grabbed a hold of his wrist and dragged him to the front door. "No Finn!"
Finn looked up at him with pleading eyes making sure some tears were in the corners of his eyes. Kurt looked away for a minute and then looked back rolling his eyes. Nodding he put his coat on and headed for the door with Finn grinning and jumping around.
As they drove (or more like Kurt driving and Finn singing along to Rihanna) into the parking lot Finn started to get excited and bounced in his seat smiling out the window. Kurt rolled his eyes again but couldn't help the small smile that showed up on his face. He couldn't help the fact that he found his big brother adorable, could he?
When they had parked the car and had gotten out Finn grabbed Kurt by the hand and sped their way in trying not to hit other people who were there too for the big sale. Kurt was trying to keep himself upright so he knocked into a few people by accident but still managed to get in the store safely.
Once they were Finn had finally stopped and stared, breathing heavily. His face showed pure excitement and childish hyper emotions. His head went a million miles per hour looking back and forth, all over the place trying to search for the games shop.
"Finn, do you want to go to the game store and I'll meet you at that café over there for lunch at 3:00?" Kurt asked making sure Finn knew where he was pointing. Finn looked over and looked down at Kurt nodding eagerly. Kurt just smiled, patted Finn on the head and then left hoping Finn would be alright. He shook his head. This was Finn. Of course he would be-
Wait…this is Finn.
Oh, he's doomed.
Finn, mesmerized, just carried on his giddy way making sure he knew where he was going.
A/N: Okay, I would have carried on with it from there but it was really late when I finished this and I knew how long it had been since I posted a new chapter for you guys so here it is :) Sorry for how short this is. And by the way, Tina and Mercedes are now going to be removed from the poll so you can't vote for them anymore. Sorry :(
The reason why I haven't had time to post it up is because I have officially left school and I am starting to write this book of my own hoping to publish it :D I'm hoping it won't take too long to write but it probably will. Anyway other than that I have also been revising for exams I still have to go into school for and I have been searching for a job at the same time so it's been a busy week and a half.
What I want to tell you is, if you have any questions you would like to know just ask. I don't mind answering questions :) Also let me know what you think in a review ^_^
