AN: So here is a tag to the episode "The New Rachel". Inspired by lyrics from "Here I Am" by Bryan Adams.
The blaring of several car horns woke Kurt from his slumber. Disoriented, he glanced around the unfamiliar surroundings trying to figure out where he was. The tacky wallpaper definitely wasn't something that he would have chosen, nor did he know anyone that had that bad of tastes. Even Finn had better taste than that.
A siren wailed outside and raised voices floated in through the open window. Looking over to the small table in the room, Kurt spotted his boarding pass and everything came flooding back. He was in New York City. Blaine had pushed him to despite not getting into NYADA, insisting that this was where Kurt needed to be.
With the same rush he had felt the day before, Kurt climbed from the bed and hurried to the window he had left open the night before. Smiling, he took in the sight before him. His dream was finally true - he was here in New York City.
This wasn't how he planned to get here but here he was. It was the start of a new life for him. A new beginning. The old plan had been thrown out the window and a new one formulated. He would start his job hunt today and this afternoon, when Rachel was free from her classes, they would start apartment hunting together.
His world was alive with new possibilities, all he had to do was go out and find them. And he hadn't written off NYADA. He would apply again and a third time if necessary. Being on Broadway was still his dream, and he knew it didn't matter how he got there - one day he would.
