A/N: Ahhh…thanks so much in advance for the reviews. You guys keep it interesting. So, here come the inevitable breakups…up first? Finn and Rachel!
Chapter 4-Rachel's POV
Oh, how about a round of applause, yeah
A standing ovation
Oh, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You look so dumb right now
Standing outside my house
Trying to apologize
You're so ugly when you cry
Please, just cut it out
Three things happened simultaneously. Kurt was staring at Blaine and I holding hands, I noticed the little girl sitting on the floor, and then I saw Finn and Santana making out like it was nobody's business. I gasped and Kurt looked at me, then Finn gasped.
"Shit."
"Shit? Is that all you have to say? Really Finn? Really?"
Finn stood up and looked at me. Then at Santana, then to Blaine and Kurt. I looked at him and nodded. He kissed my forehead as casually as he could, then led Kurt into the bedroom. Santana promptly picked up the baby and left the loft, and it was just Finn and I. I led him into the bedroom where I went into closet and got his suitcases.
"What are you doing, Rach?"
"What am I do? What am I doing? What does it look like I'm fucking doing, Finn? I'm packing your shit!"
"Why?"
"Because you were making out with Santana! Finn, for God's sake, I thought we were past this! You said you'd changed! I was willing to overlook the baby, but I'm not okay with coming home and seeing you making out with Santana on the sofa and your daughter sitting on the floor!"
I had him on that one, and he knew it. I ran around the room throwing things into bags and then handed him his bags. He put his bags on the floor and looked at me. He pulled me into his arms and kissed me. I looked at him and sighed. He put his bag on the bed and sat down.
"If I say I'm sorry, will that be enough?"
"Enough? Finn, I've put up with Quinn, I've put up with a lot of shit, Finn. A lot. And I won't stand for it anymore. I can't."
"Santana's a mistake. You know it, and I know it. The makeout session on the sofa was nothing. You caught us at a bad time."
I gasped. He wasn't denying that he was with Santana, and he wasn't sorry about it. I had no reason to be pissed, because I was doing the exact same thing to him, but now I felt less guilty because he'd been doing it first.
"A bad time? A bad time? Finn, I don't know what to do here. I don't know what you want me to do here. But I do know that I just need you to get out right now. Okay?"
I handed Finn his bag, and watched him walk into the living room. I followed him out and watched him stand there. I knew that there was something I needed to know, but I'd wait. He turned to look at me, and then spoke.
"Okay, but one thing before I go. Tonight, I followed you to the Starbucks on 5th. How long have you and Blaine been together? Because from what I saw, you guys were looking super cozy."
And right then and there I knew I was trapped. I couldn't lie my way out of this one. Just then I felt a calming presence and my hand being taken. I looked over and saw him standing there with me, and I felt peaceful.
"It hasn't been long."
Blaine said. I was waiting for the other shoe to drop. Somehow or other, I was going to be losing Kurt, and it pained me. But losing Blaine wasn't an option. I couldn't lose Blaine. Sure, Kurt would hurt, but Blaine wasn't an option.
"Does Kurt know you're lying to him about being gay?"
"I'm…bisexual. I didn't know I was till Rachel's party."
"Hell of a way to go about it."
Finn said with venom in his voice. I knew that he was being the jerkish Finn that I'd seen before. I wasn't going to try and stop him, but I knew that a part of me hurt, and then Kurt came out. And that was it. I knew that we had to tell him, before Finn told his brother.
Don't tell me you're sorry 'cause you're not
Baby when I know you're only sorry you got caught
But you put on quite a show
Really had me going
But now it's time to go
Curtain's finally closing
That was quite a show
Very entertaining
But it's over now (but it's over now)
Go on and take a bow
Kurt's POV
"Okay, seriously. I want to know why Finn has an overnight bag in his hand, and why Blaine and Rachel are holding hands…what is going on here?"
I think somewhere in the back of my mind I knew Blaine was slipping away from me. I didn't realize that it would probably be with my best friend. Rachel. Wow, what a piece of work she was. I didn't want to assume anything before someone said something to me, and Finn looked at me.
"You might want to tell him, Rachel. Because with as angry as I am, I'll accidentally let it spill."
"Finn, cool down!"
Blaine said, stepping forward. He put a hand on my shoulder and led me into the bedroom. We needed to talk, and I didn't want to do it with an audience. Rachel looked at me, and she stayed in the living room, which I had expected. I knew that something was going to go down, because I had that feeling, but I didn't want to explore it.
"Kurt, sit down. We have to talk."
And that was it. He looked sad, like he had to do something he never thought in a million years he had to do. He sat down in the chair that was positioned directly in front of me and sighed. He took my hands and smiled.
"Blaine, what's going on?"
"Well Kurt, there's been a recent development. You see, I've been confused about some things for awhile now, and I've worked most of them out. Except one. And for the last three weeks, I've worked it out. Kurt, I've agonized over the decision to do this."
"Do what?"
"Come clean. Kurt, I am a bisexual."
And my whole world came unraveled at that moment. Blaine was admitting to me that he was a bisexual, and I knew at that moment I'd lost him. I'd felt him slipping away from me for awhile, but I thought it was because we'd been together for so long and were slipping into a rut.
"A bisexual? I thought you were sure?"
"I was…I was so sure I was gay. I swear. I hadn't had a girlfriend since, that one story I told you, and I just kind of fell for someone."
I knew that something was going to go down. I couldn't figure out what though, I just knew I couldn't lose the one thing that was so important to me. I walked over to him, and looked at him. I didn't want to know who the girl was, but in a way, I kind of did, because I wanted to confront the person who did this. But before I could, the door opened and Rachel stuck her head in. She smiled at me, and then at Blaine.
"I'm making popcorn, you guys want any?"
"No thanks honey, I'm good. Kurt, how about you?"
"No Rach, thanks."
And I watched Blaine and Rachel interact for just one second. And right then and there I realized that it was Rachel. She was the one that standing in the middle of my relationship with Blaine, and I realized just what I needed to do.
Grab your clothes and get gone (get gone)
You better hurry up
Before the sprinklers come on (come on)
Talking 'bout
Girl, I love you, you're the one
This just looks like a rerun
Please, what else is on
"So, it's Rachel?"
I asked Blaine. Blaine nodded, and I sat down on the bed and put my head in my hands and just cried. Blaine sat next to me and wrapped his arms round me and held me while I cried. I shrugged away from him and glared at him.
"You promised me, you'd never hurt me, Blaine. And this is my best friend! Rachel and I have come full circle! And now you're flirting?"
Just then the door opened and Rachel stepped into the room. She looked at me and smiled, and I knew that I was going to snap. I looked at her and sighed. She'd made my favorite cugel, and I knew she had me.
"I brought you some cugel."
"Rachel, really? Do you think that cugel is going to help this situation?"
She looked at Blaine and he nodded. Then she looked back at me. She walked over to me and tried to hug me, but I wouldn't let her. I shook my head and she sighed. She knew that it was over between us at that point. Our friendship was over.
"Kurt, I'm sorry. Look, Blaine and I didn't want this to happen. It just kind of did. Blaine and I do care for you, but Blaine is…"
"There. I know. But Finn's my brother, have you ever stopped to think about how this has affected him, too?"
"I know how it's affected him! But did he think about what would happen when I found out about Meghan? Anyway, we're not here to talk about Finn. We're here to talk about my relationship with Blaine."
"Kurt, Rachel…we all need to talk about this. We do, but we should all wait until our tempers have been put in check. We need to rationally talk about this."
Blaine said. And that's when I railed on him. I couldn't continue to let him be so calm and rational about it. I needed him to show something to me. Some emotion of some kind, and I let him know it.
"Blaine! Really? You're being pretty laid back about this whole thing! I need something from you, Blaine…something! Anything!"
"Fine! You want some emotion? I'll give you emotion! Kurt, I'm torn up about this whole thing! Trust me, I am! It was never my intention to hurt you! But did you stop and think about what you're alienation was doing to me? Like really? You focus more on work, than you do me! I'm not saying we're not all trying to make it, but come on Kurt, get logical! You focus more on Wicked, than you do on me!"
And I reeled. I knew that he was right. But it still wasn't excusable. I knew what I had to do. I had to make it work. Someone was getting their heart broken tonight, and it wasn't Kurt Hummel.
Don't tell me you're sorry cause you're not
Baby when I know you're only sorry you got caught
But you put on quite a show
Really had me going
But now it's time to go
Curtain's finally closing
That was quite a show
Very entertaining
But it's over now (but it's over now)
Go on and take a bow
Oh, and the award for
The best liar goes to you (goes to you)
For making me believe (that you)
That you could be faithful to me
Let's hear your speech, oh
Blaine's POV
He wanted emotion out of me, so I gave it to him. I don't show emotion to anyone, I'm normally a more even keel, but he wanted that. I watched his expression change and I knew I'd hit a nerve.
"Kurt, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it."
"I know, but it's true. I'm too focused on Wicked. I don't spend a lot of time at home, you know that. I should try to spend more time with you."
"Yeah, you should…but isn't it a little too late?"
"It's never too late. I am willing to continue to be with you."
I looked at him and couldn't believe it. He was considering living in a delusion. He was considering staying with me, even though I couldn't love him the way that he should truly be loved. I didn't deserve him.
"Kurt. I can't believe you'd honestly do that. You deserve to have the love that I so obviously couldn't give you. If I stayed with you, you'd be miserable. And I couldn't do that to you."
"I know. But I think you're confused. I think you wish you were bisexual, because you'd get the rush of being with a woman before you fully committed to me. You want to experiment. Fine. Experiment away. I'll wait for you to make up your mind, and we'll go forward with the wedding next March, as planned."
I shook my head, and sighed. I couldn't get Kurt to realize that there would be no wedding, and that I wanted to work things out with Rachel. I turned away from him to open the door and that's when I saw the glass shatter against the wall and Rachel fall down in the living room.
"Don't even try to console me, you bitch! I did love you! I still love you, and this is how you repay me?"
I stepped in between her and Finn, before Finn's fist landed on her face. He hit me instead, and I rolled her out of the way. Kurt helped Rachel up off the floor and pulled her into the bedroom. I looked at Finn, and I could feel the bruising on my eye. The producers weren't going to be happy to see that tomorrow.
"Hey Finn, why would you hit her?"
"Stay out of this, Blaine. This doesn't concern you."
"Doesn't concern me? Are you fucking kidding me? Rachel is important to me. Of course it is. It became my business when you started beating the shit out of her."
I walked into the bedroom, grabbed my overnight bag and Rachel's hand and came out. We went into the bedroom she shared with Finn and grabbed her overnight bag and led her out of the apartment. I wouldn't let him hurt her.
How about a round of applause
A standing ovation
But you put on quite a show
Really had me going
Now it's time to go
Curtain's finally closing
That was quite a show
Very entertaining
But it's over now (but it's over now)
Go on and take a bow
But it's over now
A/N: I have a sad obsession with Darren Criss. But who doesn't? I'm thinking of possibly keeping it in Blaine and Rachel's POV's. Thanks for the reviews. They keep me positive. I'm using the songs from Glee The Music Vol. 1, but by the original artists. So…yeah. Song used: 'Take A Bow' by Rihanna.
