AN: A little bit of Rachel seeing as I've been working my way through season 3 and she's in it so much. Inspired by lyrics from "How To Save A Life" by The Fray


Rachel listened as once again Kurt's voice mail picked up. Though she had confessed stuffing the ballot box to Principal Figgins and to the whole Glee Club, she still felt she owed Kurt a personal apology. Her actions had not only cost him any chance of winning the elections but had also cast questions onto his character. They would never know if Kurt could have beaten Brittany, because of her stupidity. And if he didn't get into NYADA, Rachel knew part of her would feel responsible about that too even if Kurt didn't blame her. However the fact that he wasn't answering her phone calls gave her the feeling that he would blame her.

Disconnecting the call without leaving another message, it wasn't like she could say something different then the three message she had already left, Rachel tossed her cell phone onto the bed. Letting herself fall back onto the mattress, Rachel just stared at the ceiling. She had only wanted to help. She knew how much Kurt had wanted the class president position after losing out on the lead in West Side Story. It was one of the reasons she had dropped out of the race. And Kurt would have made an awesome class president - the way he had handled himself during the campaign had showed her that.

Now, not only had she ruined a friendship she had only just prepared, but she could have jeopardized Kurt's future. She wasn't sure there was a way for her to apologize for that but she at least wanted to know that she had tried.

She had contemplated going over to his house but the thought of facing Mr. Hummel held her back. Kurt's dad was usually an easy going guy as she had learned over the last couple of years. He had always made her feel welcomed in his house whether she was there to hang with Kurt or Finn. But this wasn't normal circumstances. She knew how protective of Kurt his father could get, and she had no desire to face his wrath right now.

Reaching out for her cell phone, she prepared to try once again to reach Kurt. There wasn't much else she could do at this point.
