Rachel arrived back at the treatment, her mood having deflated on the way back. She had gone from being happy as larry, forgetting about her troubles for a few hours, then it all came crashing down as she drove further away from Lima. When she arrived back in Maumee, she headed straight up to her room, ignoring the calls of Summer and Zac and slammed her door shut, sliding down the floor and letting the tears fall. She tucked her knees tightly in front of her. She didn't want to be here anymore, she wanted to be out there with Finn and their friends, enjoy the little time they had left before Graduation...


Finn could hear the music pumping from next door. Puck was still celebrating at one in the morning, and he was sure Mr Shue was ignoring it, or hoping the receptionist would come and tell Puck to put a stop to it. A knock at the door came and Kurt poked his round the door.

'Can I come in?' Kurt asked. Finn didn't answer, but Kurt walked in anyways. He perched on the table at the end of Finn's bed.

'How was Rachel when you left her?' Kurt asked. Finn tensed. It was still a sore subject, as he never expected this to happen.

'She was... fine. A bit upset, but its natural. I'm taking my Mom to see tomorrow- well today'

'Can I come?' asked Kurt. Finn shrugged.

'Ask Rachel. Not me. If you want to visit her, Kurt, you by all means can... Just text her and ask her if you can visit' Finn told him. Kurt sighed and nodded.

'Guess I've just been scared. Rachel was never the one who seemed to be the one who would go straight to the bottle...'

'It's always the ones you least expect who surprise you' Finn said, his gaze fixed on the ceiling. He heard Kurt sigh.

'I'll agree with you on that... What did she think of the dvd and the card?' he asked

'She was crying... a lot... She was touched. She thought that you guys didn't care about her, I could see the relief on her face when we watched the video and read the card' Finn told his step brother.

'Of course, we care. Although Santana looked like she could've murdered her today' Kurt said. Finn chuckled.

'For one second I thought she was going to! Thank god she didn't' Finn said, smiling, remembering when Rachel's voice had reache dhis ears and not Santanna's. His head had snapped up and the microphone dropped from his hands, as he had felt a large smile grace his features.

'Although Rachel can throw a punch' Kurt said, wincing as he remembered when Rachel went for Santana after she called her an alcoholic.

'Who went for who? One minute Rae was with me, the next she was fighting with Santana' Finn asked

'Rachel went for Santana! To be honest, Santana deserved it, well a slap at the least...' Kurt said thoughtfully. Finn nodded, his gaze fixed firmly on the ceiling.

'Anyway, you coming back to the party? Quinn's asking for you' Kurt said, his voice sounding a little worried. Finn sat up slowly, a frown on his face.

'Why?' he asked. Kurt shrugged his shoulders.

'No idea. Probably to ask you to dance with her' Kurt said, watching as Finn raised an eyebrow.

'Well, I'm not! I'm-' Finn setence died in his throat as his phone blasted to life. He reache dand grabbe dit, a smile lighting up his face. 'Hey, baby! Was just talking about you!' he spoke into the phone. Kurt rolled his eyes and left the room, knowing Finn would be ages...


Blaine found Kurt wandering around outside the hotel, by the pool.

'Hey' he called, making his presence known. Kurt turned to face his boyfriend, but didn't say anything. Blaine frowned. 'What happpened?' he asked, putting his arms round Kurt, who sighed.

'Nothing, just everything with Rachel lately. I can't make sense of it. I keep thinking its a nightmare what I'm going to wake up from soon' Kurt said, his head resting on his boyfriends shoulder.

'How do you mean?' asked Blaine, frowning. He felt Kurt sigh and watched as he walked to the pool edge and sat down, dipping his feet into the water.

'I mean, I never expect our last year to be like this! Finn and Rachel were suppose to be happy together... Instead one of them is in treatment and the other one is moping in his room! We are supposed to win Nationals, but I don't think we can do it without Rachel!' Kurt started to get wound up and Blaine quickly sat down next to him, grabbing his hand.

'Kurt, calm down. Okay... I know that Rachel and the whole treatment thing is hard, but we have to believe in our selves. We have to win Nationals this year, for Rachel... Hey, we never know... She could be out in time for Nationals!' Blaine said, trying to get some sense into Kurt, who just sighed.

'I know she might be, but we have to think about if shes not!' Kurt snapped. He was tire dof everyone not allowing themselves to tink of the negatives. 'We need her! She needs us! Which is why we're going to see her tomorrow and try to convinve her ourselves to finish treatment quickly' Kurt said. Blaine's eyebrows shot up.

'KURT!' he exclaimed 'You can't do that! It's selfish!' He protested,.

'But don't you want to win?' Kurt asked

'Not like that. I would rather lose than have Rachel finished treatment early! She's our friend, your brothers girlfriend! Imagine what Fin would do to you if did that?' Blaine questioned. Kurt sighed and his head dropped into his hands.

'I'm sorry! Its just... I hate seeing my brother dead inside and not living, and knowing Rachel isn't here to make him better...' Kurt trailed off. Blaine sighed and put his arms round Kurt.

'I know its hard. You're wanting to help our friend, I get that... But she's got to get better at her own accord, we can't rush her into getting better, just because we want her back. Recovery is a battles everyday and we need to be there for her every step of the way...' Blaine told him. Kurt sighed again and nodded.

'I know. I'm sorry, it's just hard and I wish we could wake up from this nightmare and all be happy again' Kurt said

'And we will... It'll just take time, that's all' Blaine answered. Kurt nodded, before getting to his feet and holding out his hand.

'Come on, let's go back up' said Kurt. Blaine smiled and took his hand, walking back into the hotel and up to their floor...
