-LATER MONDAY NIGHT-DAYS UNTIL PROM: 33-
"So, how was the day?" Carole asked worriedly. The only parents who had come this time was Burt, Carole, and Rachel's Dads. The rest of the meeting was filled with faculty and New Directions, while Blaine at Dalton talked through Kurt.
"It was heading towards the bad, until the Cheerios gave orders thanks to Coach Sylvester, and Coach Beiste." Kurt smiled at the two women.
"I think it was mostly Coach Sylvester's threat to make anyone who threatened us live a living hell." Mercedes amended.
"Sue! You can't just go around threatening the children!" Will objects, glaring at the woman. Sue waved him off.
"In other words, there is a force working against us that we must crush." Sue stated.
"But how?" Blaine asked through Kurt's phone.
"We could go to the ACLU, the American Civil Liberties Union, or the HRC, the Human Rights Campaign now." Hiram interjected.
"I would prefer if our private lives could be kept private during this." Burt sighed, "So, if we can, let's not go to them for now."
"Then what do we do for now?" Finn asked again, "I mean this is all great and everything, standing up for what's right, but what do we do?"
"I think Burt and I need to have a talk with this principal tomorrow." Carole pointed out. "And after we see what he says then perhaps we can come to a decision on what to do."
"Yes, Hiram and I will come with you, just to show him a different perspective." Leroy agreed.
"So what, we just deal?" Puck asked in disbelief.
"Well, unfortunately..." Kurt paused, "Sam are you alright?" he asked the pale faced teen across from him. Sam stared at his phone.
"Dave..." he whimpered.
"What? What does that mean?" Quinn asked. Kurt and Santana looked to each other.
"Sam, what's wrong with Dave?" Santana came to sit next to him, looking over his shoulder at his phone. She and Kurt both gasped.
"Kurt, what's going on?" Blaine asked through the phone.
"Who's Dave?" Finn questioned in confusion.
"What's going on honey?" Carole asked as Kurt made a beeline for his laptop. He opened it and he, Santana, and Sam crowded around it.
This is Jacob Ben Israel, Jewfro, here with the biggest juiciest piece of information to ever hit McKinley High School! Today, I have witnessed a full out confession from one jock, Dave Karofsky, about his sexuality, which, let me tell you, isn't straight! Watch this video from the scenes and see who his boyfriend is too!
A shaky, but very recognizable locker room came into view as Jacob zoomed in on two figures, Azimio and Karofsky. "Karofsky is being very secretive about something, let's see what it is..."
"Karofsky man, you're freaking me out here." Azimio stated as Karofsky looked around, not even seeing Jacob behind the lockers.
"Sorry. Just, hear me out before you react, okay Az?" Karofsky clasped his hands together nervously.
"Sure, sure." Azimio agreed with wide eyes, "Go on Dave. I'm here for you." Karofsky frowned for some reason.
"Okay...I'm gay." They both just stood their for a few moments. Jacob gaped like a fish next to the camera. "Well? Did you hear me?" Azimio blinked.
"Well, when you said, 'Hear me out before you react', I'd thought there'd be more than three words." Azimio shook his head, "Listen to me Karofsky, and listen to me good." Dave swallowed thickly.
"I'm listening."
"You and Evans need to be a little more secretive in your relationship if you want it kept as a secret." Azimio shook his head as Dave's mouth popped open, "I've known for a few weeks now, and yeah, sure, at first I was freaking the fuck out, but after I thought about it for a while..." Azimio shook his head, "You're still my best boy Karofsky!"
"Sam Evans? And Karofsky!" Jacob put the pieces together. Dave stumbled back, slamming into a locker.. Azimio groaned as Karofsky started to hug him.
"Come on Karofsky, don't tell me you're going soft on me now."
The picture ended, and a smug, smirking Jacob stood back on screen. "So, maybe Kurt Hummel really wasn't the one who tried to buy the prom tickets, hmm? Israel out!"
Silence, no one in the Hudmel household spoke until Sam did. "He just ruined someone's life and he doesn't even care." he choked out, "Dave's father...he is the most homophobic man I know." Sam inhaled sharply through his nose, "Dave's father..." he stood, and made a beeline for the door, but Puck and Finn grabbed him.
"Calm down dude, I'm sure Karof- Dave is fine. And if he isn't, then you going there will only make things worse." Puck pointed out.
"He's right, that's why I'll go." Santana grabbed her keys and coat. "He lives right down the street from me, I know where to go."
"Now, just hold on. This could be just as dangerous for you as for-" Leroy started.
"I don't care!" Santana snapped, "That asshole can say whatever the hell he wants to me. I'm going." she slammed the door behind her, while Sam unintentionally broke down in Finn and Puck's arms.
"Dude!" Finn hissed desperately to Kurt who sighed, slamming his laptop closed before going to comfort Sam.
Santana Lopez was utterly pissed. How dare Jewfro out someone like that? But right now...Santana Lopez had a different mission. Save and extract one Dave Karofsky from his home before his parents learned of his sexuality. As she parked out front of his house, she was scared that they already had. Screaming is what greeted her.
"It's okay baby! We'll fix you! We'll send you to a camp or something!" a female's voice yelled.
"I'm not broken!" the voice, that Santana recognized as Dave's, snarled.
"Yes you are! You disgusting fa-" something crashed and a few seconds later, Dave slammed the door behind him on the way out. He paced outside for a few seconds until Santana rolled her window down.
"Dave! Come on! I've come to get you boy!" Santana called. Dave looked up at her in confusion and she gestured him over, "Sam saw Israel's post, and freaked out. We didn't let him come, but I came to get you." she whispered.
"Thank you." he stated quietly and silently sat down in the passenger seat next to her.
Well, he had tried. Kurt gave up on calming Sam down, and now his only goal was to make sure he didn't dive pass any of the jocks and run to the door. He was pacing like a caged animal in front of the couch, where the rest of the glee club was staring at him sympathetically. At first they were stunned at Sam's sexuality, then livid that he was actually dating Karofsky, then stunned that Karofsky was gay, and then nervous about Kurt's reaction. After they realized that he had already known and was okay with it, they were mostly sympathetic.
"Sam, son, you need to calm down." Hiram stated, "You might be scaring yourself for no reason."
"Or I could be completely founded in my fear." Sam snarled at him, glaring darkly.
"Sam!" Kurt objected.
"It's okay, we understand. Hiram's parents were homophobic also. I was so worried the night he was coming out to them." Leroy shared. Sam paused.
"Really?" he asked hopefully, "And everything turned out alright?" Leroy raised an eyebrow, gesturing between himself, Hiram, and Rachel.
"What do you think?" he asked rhetorically. Before Sam could actually answer like he planned, the door burst open. All heads turned to the door, as Santana sashayed in.
"Guess it's a good thing I went, since your boy toy needed my ride." she commented to Sam as she passed, and with that, Sam was out the door towards her car.
A small scatter of chatter filled the room while they waited for Sam and Dave to come inside. Brittany grabbed Tina's hand and pulled her from the room. "Britt? What's going on?" Tina asked, waving Mike and Artie down as they started to follow. Brittany closed the door behind them as they went into Kurt's bedroom.
"I'm going to do something hard, sometime soon, but to do it, I need you to tell me something." Brittany nodded seriously.
"Sure." Tina agreed cautiously.
"Do you still love Artie?" Brittany asked, and Tina gaped at her.
"W-W-What? O-Of course not! I love Mike!" Tina's stutter was suspiciously back. Brittany rubbed her arm.
"It's okay. You're not broken, you can love two people at once." she soothed her. Tina blinked up at her, before narrowing her eyes.
"Are you going to break up with Artie?" Tina gasped as Brittany nodded sadly.
"But it's okay! Because you need to choose which one you want to hurt less and choose them." Brittany nodded, "And you don't want to hurt Artie, so every thing will be okay!" she spun on her heel and skipped out of the room. Tina stared at her back in shock.
"Hey-lo." Dave greeted slowly as he came into the room and all faces turned to him. He stumbled back a few steps, but Sam poked him, hard, in the back.
"Hello David. Come in." Kurt pranced over, taking his hand and pulling him in the room. He made him sit in the recliner.
"Now, we have been discussing, and it's up to you really, who do you want to stay with?" Kurt asked eagerly. Dave stared at him in shock, while Sam grinned.
"It's up to you closet case, the Hudmels, the Lopez family, the Berrys, and the Pierce family all offered to let you stay." Mercedes stared at him from the corner, before shaking her head. She was especially against Karofsky after all he had done.
"I told you to not be surprised when they offered." Sam shrugged, "We're like a big family here." he added, sitting on the edge of his recliner. Dave nodded.
"Okay..." Dave stated slowly. "I'm freaking out here, sorry." he stood, shaking his head.
"It's completely understandable David! You just went through a very traumatic experience and are overwhelmed by others' kindness and-"
"Shut up Berry!" Santana growled.
"Definitely not going to be her I stay with." Dave said louder then he meant to, and then flushed. Everyone laughed, except for Rachel that is.
"Oh, you're going to fit in just fine, closet case." Lauren punched him in the shoulder. Dave laughed awkwardly, rubbing the spot.
"You don't have to choose who you want to stay with right now." Burt assured him, "But every house is open for you." Burt was also one of the ones who was wary of Karofsky, but who was he to deny a kid who had been rejected from his house just because of his sexuality?
"I..." Dave glanced at Santana, who seemed to understand what he was thinking.
"Alright! I got the new closet case!" she cheered, smirking and slapping him on the back.
