Rachel spent Sunday morning in a local cafe around the corner from their apartment. She took her laptop and decided to surf the web while enjoying her drink. She decided to see what the press had to say about last night's big event. She might even find a picture of Kurt. She found a site which had the story about the party and a photo album. She found the usual pictures of the big names on the red carpet, and quite a few of Blaine in his black tuxedo suit and bow tie. She looked at the top of the screen to see a breaking news headline flash at the top which read, 'Blaine Anderson: Is he in a secret relationship?' Without thinking, Rachel clicked the link, which brought up a new page, and started reading the article.

'Blaine Anderson's latest production, which still doesn't have a title yet, had a party for press, cast and crew last night. The party, which lasted through the night, saw many celebrities turn up for the star-studded event, including some of Blaine's former co-stars from his last Broadway hit.

But has Blaine been hiding anything from the public? Last night we can exclusively reveal that he might be in secret relationship. He was spotted at the party kissing another guy who we have yet to find out the identify of.

In the picture below, we see him and the other guy exchanging what looks like a kiss. Blaine has always kept his relationships to private after dating a few of his co-stars from his time on TV.' 

Rachel looked at the picture quickly before reading on.

'Could this be the 'Kurt' Blaine was tweeting about the other day?

On his Twitter, he posted a few tweets which were shortly deleted afterwards. Most of the tweets where just numbers and words but on one of the tweets he tweeted the name 'KURT', and then removed it after about a minute online. Looking back at his tweets, we have also found he has mentioned a 'Kurt' before, and a picture was posted, but he is not the same guy in the picture above.'

Rachel finished reading, her mouth open in shock after reading Kurt's name. She had to read the last paragraph a few times. She really wanted to call Kurt and tell him to check out the story. She was about to, but something in the picture caught her eye. She looked at it for a good five minutes before the word came out of her mouth.

"TOM!" She almost knocked her drink flying off the table. Her heart stopped for a second.

"He's cheating on Kurt... with Blaine!" 

She grabbed her phone and brought up Kurt's number. She wanted to press the dial button, but something stopped her. She didn't want to break her friend's heart.

She walked in through the apartment door and headed straight to her room. Kurt caught a glimpse of her before knocking on the door.

"Rach? Are you ok? You've gone pale," Kurt asked, standing by the door.

"Please, can you go away? I have a headache and I need to sleep," her faint voice said from behind the door. Kurt walked back to the living room and turned on the TV.

A few hours later Kurt heard the door bell ring and ran to the door. He opened the door to find Tom on the other side with a bunch of roses.

"I'm so sorry, Kurt," Tom said, clearing his throat so he could make a long speech.

"Come in... sorry about what?" Kurt grabbed the boy and pulled him into the apartment.

"Umm..." Tom replied in an unsure voice.

"Are these for me!? They're beautiful! You didn't have to, you." Tom handed him the roses, before Kurt took them into the kitchen. Tom walked into Kurt's room and jumped on his bed, landing on his back and looking at the ceiling. He started to laugh, not believing his luck that Kurt hadn't seen the article. Rachel heard the laughing and ran straight from her room to Kurt's. She stormed in to see Tom lying there.

"You!" she whispered.

"Yeah...what about me, Berry?"

"I know what you did!"

"And what was that?"

"You're cheating on Kurt!" Rachel said as she closed the door behind her to make sure Kurt couldn't hear them. Tom got up and rushed to Rachel.

"And?"

"And what? He's my best friend. You need to tell him now, or... or..."

"Or what?" Tom's nose was now touching Rachel's.

"I'll... I'll tell him." Rachel backed away. Her back hit the door.

"Oh, come on. You wouldn't do that. I know you, Rachel. Remember, we dated for a month? That time when you weren't seeing that Hudson guy."

"I only went out with you because I was sad and alone, and it's something I regret."

"But why did you invite me to your party for Kurt? You must have still liked me."

"You were still my friend, Tom."

"Oh, I see."

"You have to tell him."

"Not going to happen."

"Fine then I will."

"You won't. You seem to have forgotten the main reason you became friends with me in the first place...because my father is a big casting agent. You used me, Rachel, to get to him so he could cast you in one of his productions."

"I didn't use you!"

"Well, if you don't want me to blacklist your name from future productions and Broadway in general, then you won't tell Kurt, and you will keep your head low." 

Just then Kurt opened the door almost knocking over Rachel.

"What are you two talking about?"

"Nothing. She was just going," Tom said as Rachel turned, her mouth open, ready to tell Kurt. Instead, she turned and walked out the room.

"Wow what's wrong with her?"

"No idea." Tom said as he closed the door behind her.
