A/N: Holy cow guys! I am soooooo sorry for taking so long! I know I've probably lost a lot of readers because of my slowness and I'm really sorry about that. All of you who are still reading, thank you! You are awesome! And since you've been waiting this long I won't bore you with rambling for now. So, enjoy!

When Wes arrived home that night, he was surprised that Blaine wasn't there. He knew that Blaine was usually busy with music, but he had said that he was going to be free all day and Wes couldn't help wondering where he had disappeared to. He greatly hoped, for the sake of his friend, that Kurt had decided to call back. He knew that Blaine had been through his fair share of rejection and pain over the years and he really hoped that his friend could befriend another gay guy and maybe work up the confidence to come out soon.

Wes walked through the apartment calling for Max who also didn't seem to be there. Settling onto the sofa in their living room, he took the opportunity to bask in the quietness that rarely fell upon his apartment. Usually Blaine would be composing something, or Max would be yapping until someone played with him. Wes knew that he loved both of them to death, but he was all for silence so he laid his head back on the cushioned sofa and closed his eyes.

About half an hour later, Wes heard footsteps outside his door and the distinct sound of jangling keys. When he heard Blaine open the door he was pleasantly surprised to hear his friend whistling one of his songs and when he got up to greet his roommate he couldn't help but grin at the sheer happiness that was lighting up his friend's face.

"Good day?" he asked, crouching down to scratch his puppy behind the ears.

"Amazing," Blaine breathed out and his eyes twinkled with excitement.

"Care to tell me about it?" Wes questioned, grinning at his happy friend.

"Of course," Blaine replied, looking as if he wanted to tell whoever would listen about the awesome day he had had.

Blaine proceeded to tell Wes everything that had happened during the day, from Kurt calling him that morning, to their fun afternoon going to his cousin's diner, to dropping Kurt back at the hotel and agreeing to get together again sometime. When Blaine finished his story, there was a huge smile on his face and Wes couldn't help smiling back at his friend.

"Well, congrats buddy, I told you he'd call you back."

"I know, thanks for everything, and listening to my rambling all the time, I'm sure I annoy you."

"Nah," Wes replied. "I'm glad you're finally happy, man."

Blaine threw his arms around Wes, taking the Asian man by surprise. "You're a great friend, Wes. Thank you."

"No problem, Blaine."

Blaine pulled away and turned around to head back to the kitchen knowing that it was his turn to cook dinner. "How do you feel about fettuccine alfredo?" Blaine called over his shoulder.

"With shrimp?" Wes asked to which he received a nod from Blaine. "Sounds good to me."

Wes went to his room to change out of his work clothes and Blaine headed into the kitchen to start dinner. He found that working in the kitchen was a very useful relaxant so as he took out the noodles and prepared to cook for himself and Wes, he felt himself looking forward to the friendship he knew was going to grow with Kurt.

Kurt rushed up to his hotel room and he could not keep the smile off his face. He thought that his face was going to split in half if he smiled any bigger. He quickly pulled out his computer and checked to see if any of his family was on Skype, he wanted someone to gush to about Blaine.

When he checked who was online, he saw that Rachel's name was lit up and he clicked it sending her a call request. The call was answered in seconds and Kurt saw Rachel's slightly blurry picture fill his screen.

"Kurt!" she cried. "How are you? How was your day? Did you meet anymore celebrities?"

Kurt didn't know how she could say all that without taking a breath but her infectious enthusiasm just caused him to smile even bigger. "My day was great, Rach!" Kurt replied.

He saw Rachel look closer at him on her computer screen. "You are glowing, Kurt! What did you do today? I haven't seen you this happy in ages."

Kurt let out a little squeal and he immediately was reminded of his old self from the beginning of high school. It made him feel good that his outgoing, flamboyant and confident being hadn't been completely erased even though it had been suppressed for the past many years.

When he replied, Kurt tried to sound nonchalant. "Oh, nothing Rachel, except that Blaine Anderson took me to his cousin's diner, where he goes when he's hiding from the paparazzi. He said he'd never taken any of his other friends there, and the food was delicious and no one recognized us and it was just amazing Rachel!"

Rachel squealed as Kurt told her about his afternoon. "I am so happy for you Kurt. That sounds really fun! I wish I were there with you. I can't wait to hear all about all the adventures you're going to have in the next few weeks."

"I am actually glad that I decided to do this, Rach. It's really helping me get over everything that happened back in high school. I mean, I'll always have the scars but I actually feel myself trusting Blaine, and I know he won't hurt me. It feels so good to have a friend that I can trust, Rachel." Kurt felt a tear trickle down his cheek as he thought about it.

After all the pain and abuse he had suffered in high school, he hadn't thought he would ever be able to be normal again, but here he was making friends with one of the most popular celebrities in the USA.

Rachel felt a tear trickle down her cheek as well, she had felt so helpless back in high school when everything had happened to Kurt but now to see him as happy as he was, she finally felt some peace of mind.

"I am so proud of you Kurt, and I'm really glad that you called me. I missed you."

"I missed you too Rach, when I get back from this tour, I'm coming to Ohio to see you guys."

"Ok," Rachel said. She had calmed down remarkably since Kurt had started talking to her and he couldn't help another tear that slipped down his cheek as he waved good-bye to her. He was so glad that he could rely on Rachel to listen to him and despite everything that had happened in his life, he loved her and trusted her.

"I'll talk to you later, Rach."

"Bye Kurt!" she called, ending the call.

Kurt flopped backwards on the bed, reliving his afternoon with Blaine in his mind. He couldn't believe that he had only known the man for 2 days; it felt like a lifetime. He reached over and grabbed his phone, sending Blaine a quick text.

"Hey, I had a great time this afternoon. Thanks for taking me to your cousin's diner, it was fun. I hope we see each other soon. Kurt"

Kurt was just closing his eyes to take a short nap before dinner when his phone vibrated, signalling a new text. Kurt grabbed his phone and read, "It was no problem, I'm glad I now have someone to share it with. Blaine :)"

Kurt smiled to himself, glad that Blaine was as eager to do something again as he was. "I've got my interview on the Mercedes Show tomorrow morning but maybe we could do something after? Kurt"

"Sure! I'll have to check what I've got going on but I'll definitely get back to you about it. Blaine :)"

"Sounds good, I'll talk to you soon. Kurt :)"

"TTYL :) Blaine"

Kurt put his phone down and smiled to himself. He liked having something bright to look forward to in his life.

The following morning, Kurt fell into the same routine as the previous three days, getting breakfast downstairs and getting ready for the day in his room. His interview was at 10 o'clock so he had to get down to the studio fairly early.

Kurt knew that this time he couldn't walk without getting bombarded and being late so he went to the front desk and asked them to call him a taxi. When he walked outside, he was greeted with another shiny black limo and he nearly squealed with delight. He felt that he could get used to this part of his new lifestyle.

Sliding into the back seat of the limo, Kurt took a deep breath, pulling nervously on the sleeve of his grey sweater. He straightened his bowtie and checked in the window of the car to make sure his hair was still impeccable. Happy with his appearance, Kurt concentrated on calming his racing heart.

After his day off the previous day, Kurt had almost forgotten how nerve-wracking the interviews were. His hands started shaking and he felt as if a panic attack was setting in but then he looked down to see a text he had just received from Blaine.

"COURAGE" was all it said, and Kurt immediately felt himself calming. I can do this, he thought.

By the time the limo reached the studio, Kurt was much more relaxed and confident that he could get through the interview. He was whisked into hair and makeup, and even though he had only done it once, it felt like a routine now and it comforted him to know what to expect.

It didn't take long for the hair and makeup people to finish up with Kurt and he was soon being ushered to the studio where the show was being taped. From backstage where he was waiting to go on, Kurt could hear the audience talking and laughing as Mercedes came out on the stage. There was music playing, and from the research Kurt had done the night before, he knew that Mercedes would be dancing through the audience.

"Good morning everybody!" Mercedes exclaimed when she reached the stage. "It is so great to see you all this morning. We've got a jam-packed show today. Waiting backstage is none other than the famous Kurt Hummel who has finally come out of hiding after all these years of us waiting to learn who he is. We also have Jesse St. James waiting backstage to perform one of his new songs off his new album, The Journey, which comes out next week." The crowd applauded and Mercedes flashed her 1000-watt smile at them.

"And now without further ado, I am very pleased to welcome, Mr. Kurt Hummel," Mercedes announced. The crowd jumped to their feet screaming and clapping when the music started playing to welcome Kurt.

Backstage, Kurt let out a shaky breath, reread the word that Blaine had sent him and decided that he was going to try and have fun with Mercedes, no more Mr. Shy Guy. Or at least for today.

When the doors opened for him to enter the stage, Kurt was hit with a wall of sound from the screaming fans to the music. He felt slightly overwhelmed and took a step back before shaking himself and dancing onto the stage.

When Kurt reached the chairs at the middle of the stage where Mercedes was standing, she reached out and gave him a hug. The crowd was still standing and clapping and Kurt turned to wave at them with a shy smile. This only made them scream louder, much to Kurt's surprise.

Mercedes gestured that Kurt could sit on the chair opposite her on the stage, and when they sat, so did the rest of the audience. "Welcome! Welcome! Welcome!" Mercedes exclaimed flashing him her blindingly bright smile.

"Thank you for having me," Kurt replied, feeling shy again.

"The pleasure is all mine," Mercedes countered. "So, how have your first few days of fame been?"

"Oh, well, it's definitely odd for me, as someone who's so used to being invisible, to walk down the street and have people recognizing me or asking for my autograph. I never could have expected this."

"I can imagine," Mercedes said. "What made you decide to finally show who you are after so many years of hiding?"

"Well, personally, I didn't really feel like I was hiding by not doing any public appearances or anything. When I started writing it was just something I would do that I enjoyed and turned out to be pretty good at. Then one day I went on the Internet to research something, I don't exactly remember what, and I came across this forum where people were posting pictures they had drawn or photo-shopped of what they thought I looked like. I hadn't really realized I had very many fans before that and after I wrote my most recent book, I decided that I had to thank my fans somehow for all their support and the easiest way to do it would be in person."

Mercedes 'awwed' with the rest of the crowd at Kurt's explanation and how real and humble he seemed. It appeared to her that he truly was just a boy doing what he loved, and creating masterpieces that somehow the rest of the word loved too.

"That is so nice Kurt, is there anything you would like to say to your fans now?"

"I just want to thank you all for your support and for sticking with me through all the changes I've made to my style through the years. It is so overwhelming and heart-warming to know that you guys truly love my work, which just makes me want to write more for you. So just, thank you."

The crowd cheered at this and Kurt flushed slightly. He was feeling surprised at himself and how much he was talking and he was starting to wonder where his shyness had gone.

"Do you have any advice for any aspiring authors out there?"

"Definitely be yourself and do what you love. In high school I was bullied for being myself, but you guys have all accepted me for who I am and continued reading my work regardless and that just warms my heart to know that there are so many accepting people in the world."

Mercedes smiled at Kurt and squeezed his hand. Kurt was quite shocked with himself for how much he had revealed about himself, making note to be careful not to let anything else about his past slip out. He knew that if anyone knew what really had happened to him, they would never look at him the same again.

"We all know that your newest book, When We Were Young, is coming out on Friday. Could you maybe tell us a little bit about this book? The inspiration behind your writing it?"

Kurt paused to collect his thoughts before speaking. "I don't really want to give away too much of the story but I'll just say that it follows two different men, starting in their childhood, through the many struggles they have growing up leading to their fated meeting in a coffee shop and how their lives were changed from that moment. My inspiration would be through experiences I've had and people I've talked to about their experiences growing up gay in a homophobic community..." Kurt paused and looked down. He was feeling rather shy suddenly and was once again surprised by himself and the information he had just shared about himself.

Mercedes reached over and squeezed his hand again. "It sounds like a great book," she said. "And everyone in the audience will be going home with their own copy of your book today."

The audience screamed and cheered again, and Kurt smiled, finally realizing that these people weren't going to judge him based on his sexuality or what he had revealed to Mercedes, and it made him feel warm all over to make this discovery. Kurt relaxed comfortably back in the chair and smiled at Mercedes, preparing for more questions.

"Well, thank you for coming on the show today Kurt. It was great to have you!" Mercedes exclaimed about 10 minutes later.

"Thank you," Kurt replied, standing up from his chair and hugging Mercedes again. He stood and chatted with her for a few minutes as the programming went to commercial and she gave him another hug telling him she hoped she saw him again soon.

Kurt exited to backstage and let out a sigh of relief. He had done it, two interviews down, many more to go. He took out his phone and quickly texted his father to tell him that he was done his interview and that it had gone well.

He received a text back no more than a minute later. "Congratulations Kurt! We are all so proud of you kiddo. Could you please give us a call when you get back to your hotel?"

Kurt replied that he would before scrolling through his texts to find the one word text from Blaine. He replied to that one too, "Hey! I just wanted to tell you that my interview went great. Thank you for the encouragement :) I hope you're having a good day!"

Kurt put his phone in his pocket, not sure if Blaine was going to text him back right away or if he was busy. It wasn't even 30 seconds later when instead of the vibrations indicating he had a text, his phone started ringing.

Kurt glanced down at the caller ID and saw Blaine's smiling face looking up at him, so he immediately answered. He was still quite shy on the phone when he was talking to someone other than his family. "Hello?"

"Hey Kurt!" Blaine replied in the excitable tone that he always seemed to speak in, and which could always succeed in putting a smile on Kurt's face.

"What's up?" Kurt asks, falling comfortably into conversation with the pop star.

"Oh, you know, I just watched your interview and I wanted to tell you that it was brilliant! You did such a good job answering those questions like a pro, and you didn't look nervous at all. It appears you're getting the hang of this interview thing."

Kurt laughed. "Thanks! I was so nervous but I'm glad no one could tell."

"You were great," Blaine responded and Kurt could hear the smile in his voice.

"So what are you up to today?" Kurt asked, surprised at how easily he was able to talk to Blaine as if he was just a normal person not a famous singer.

"That's the other reason I called. See, a bunch of my 'coworkers' are getting together for dinner tonight and I was wondering if you wanted to come? Maybe meet some more people so you aren't all alone in this big city." Kurt could practically see the air quotes around coworkers and he smiled.

"If it's a work party, I don't want to intrude..." Kurt began.

"Oh don't be silly," Blaine replied. "When I say 'coworkers,' I really mean friends and you are always welcome with my friends."

Kurt felt his heart swell, he hadn't trusted anyone who wasn't his family since the beginning of high school and he knew that going out with Blaine and his 'friends' could be very bad based on his last experience with meeting up with a guy and his 'friends,' but Kurt felt that he could trust Blaine. He reasoned with himself that they would be in a public place so what had happened last time definitely wouldn't happen this time, but he was still hesitant about the whole idea of meeting so many new people.

"Kurt," Blaine started in a softer voice. "I can practically hear you hesitating. Trust me, it will be fun and if you don't feel comfortable I'll just bring you back to your hotel, no worries. Ok?"

"Well, I guess it will be ok. It could be nice knowing more than one person in this city. Ok, yeah I'll come. Thanks for inviting me Blaine."

"Yay!" Blaine exclaimed and Kurt could hear the grin that had lit up Blaine's face. "Great, I'll pick you up at your hotel at 7, ok?"

Kurt checked his watch and saw that he had 6 hours until then. "Ok, see you then, I'll be waiting in the lobby."

"Perfect! See you Kurt!"

Kurt hung up and stuck his phone back in his pocket. He grabbed his coat and stepped out into the beautiful LA sunshine. He hurried to the waiting limo to try and avoid being stampeded by fans and he almost made it before a large group of women raced over to him.

"Mr. Hummel! Mr. Hummel! Can you sign my book?" Kurt heard called out to him by many of the women and he tried to sign as many of the books being thrust at him as he could before he was able to slip into his limo and get away from the craziness.

The driver brought Kurt back to his hotel and Kurt hurried up to his room to call his father and tell him all about his day, and his plans for the night.

Kurt tossed his bag onto the chair inside his room as he plopped down on the opposite chair and pulled out his cell phone again. After hitting one to speed dial his dad, Kurt made himself comfortable in the chair, preparing for a long conversation.

"Hey kiddo!" Burt's gruff voice exclaimed down the line.

"Hey dad!" Kurt said back, feeling very enthusiastic.

"We all wanted to tell you that you were amazing this morning on the Mercedes Show and we are so proud of you," Carole said.

"Aww thanks you guys!" Kurt replied. "Hey! Is Rachel there too?"

"Yeah, I'm here," she said.

"I wanted to tell you that Blaine Anderson invited me to dinner tonight with his friends, and by friends I mean coworkers from Warbler Records."

Rachel squealed very loudly and Kurt winced but he still had the smile on his face. "Oh my gosh, Kurt! That is SO amazing! You'll probably get to meet David Thompson, he's the manager of the studio, and Nick Duval, he's their head scout. Kurt! You're going to have to tell me EVERYTHING after!"

Kurt even felt out of breath after Rachel's exclamation. "I will, Rach, I promise."

"Well, buddy, it sounds like you're having no problems making friends out there," Burt said. Kurt knew that his father worried about him a lot and he felt bad about it. "Be careful and be safe, son. I love you!"

"I love you too dad!" Kurt called back. "I'll talk to you guys later."

Kurt hung up and decided that now would be as good a time as any to start getting ready because, after checking the clock, he realized he only had three hours until Blaine was coming to get him. As Kurt started looking through his closet for the perfect outfit, he made sure to push back all memories of the last time he had been invited out with his so-called friends. He knew that nothing like what had happened on that night would happen tonight and he successfully suppressed the onslaught of memories for the time being. Tonight was going to be a fun time and he was going to enjoy it.

A/N: So, did you like it? I promise I will explain the incident in about two chapters, I have a few more things to write first. I will hopefully get the next chapter up quicker but don't hold me to that. Random events are prone to popping up in my life which completely throw me off. But anyway, who's excited for Christmas? I am! I really loved the last two episodes of Glee (probably mostly because of Sam 3). What did you all think? Just so everyone knows, I'm going to be very busy starting December 31 (We're going on a cruise!) so if I don't post anything before then I don't know when the next time I'll be able to post anything is. So, I apologize for the long wait for this chapter, but I hope you enjoyed it. Please review and let me know what you thought please and thank you :) next chapter will be dinner with Blaine and his friends. Thanks for reading! :)
