Packing had been difficult, but unpacking everything was proving to be just as difficult, if not more. Kurt's problem was that everything was new, so he now had to find space to put everything, and he had to make everything look and be organized.

Burt, Blaine, and Carole had already left to drive back to Ohio in the early afternoon and now Kurt sat in his apartment trying to make everything fit. It would take another two days before everything was unpacked and out of boxes. Finally, after everything was unpacked, Kurt went and got the rest of what he needed for his apartment. It took multiple shopping trips, but Kurt got everything he needed to decorate his apartment.

It was definitely different living on his own, but Kurt had adapted quickly. However, that didn't mean that it still felt strange.

A few days after Kurt had moved in, he decided he could try one more time to reconcile things with Rachel. At this point, nothing should be a surprise to either person, so Kurt figured he really didn't have anything to lose. But then again, it was Rachel, so there could be something that would come as a surprise to Kurt.

After sending a text message to Rachel, Kurt sat down on his couch with his computer and watched some Netflix. Shortly after, he got a response back from Rachel saying that they could meet for coffee the next day. Kurt quickly sent a message agreeing and then sent another message to Blaine.

So, I'm going to meet with Rachel tomorrow… -K

Really? –B

Yeah. Why am I so nervous? I shouldn't be this nervous. –K

You're probably just nervous because the last two times didn't exactly go well. –B

You're probably right. –K

But hopefully this one will go better :) –B

Hopefully. I don't know how they could get any worse. –K

Exactly. You'll be fine. Don't worry about it. –B

That's easier said than done. –K

Yeah, but even if things don't work out with Rachel, you still have everything with Catherine Wright. –B

Very true. Thanks. –K

Any time. Let me know how it goes. –B

Of course I will. Skype after? –K

Sounds great. I'll be waiting. Love you. –B

I love you, too. –K

Blaine had a point and they had talked about it before. Kurt had been making multiple attempts to win Rachel back as a friend, but there was only so much Kurt could do. If Rachel decided to be jealous and not accept Kurt's friendship, so be it. At least Kurt still had his family, Blaine, friends from New Directions, and now Catherine Wright in his life.

Kurt went to bed that night less anxious than he was before he texted Blaine, but still incredibly anxious. When his alarm went off the next morning, he was surprised that he had been able to sleep as long and as well as he had considering what today was bringing. Kurt slowly got out of bed and got ready for the day. He just lounged around and surfed the Internet until he had to leave to meet Rachel.

Kurt left his apartment and walked the few blocks to where he was going to meet Rachel. He went in to the shop only to find Rachel was already there waiting for him. He quickly ordered his coffee and went to sit with Rachel.

"Hey, Rachel," Kurt greeted cheerfully. If this meeting was going to be pleasant, he might as well start out on a good note.

"Hey, Kurt," Rachel said as he gave him a hug, "how are you doing?" This was good news for Kurt, Rachel was in a good mood and seemed to think of Kurt as a friend rather than some kind of enemy due to her jealousy.

"I'm doing good. Exhausted, but good. And you?"

"I am doing great. I just moved in to my apartment with Tiffany last week. It was exhausting, but I'm finally in New York. And it's not just visiting, I'm finally living in New York!"

Kurt laughed. "We all knew you were going to make it to New York. It's where you belong."

"I know, but I am actually here now. I've been dreaming of this day since I was able to understand what Broadway is. Before I was just dreaming, and now its real."

"We know Rachel. And Broadway and New York is all you have talked about since we met three years ago."

"There's nothing wrong with having dreams," Rachel said very seriously.

"I never said there was. You're incredibly driven and a very talented person. Everyone knew you would make it here."

"Thank you, Kurt."

Now came the real question. What do they talk about that's not business related? Kurt really didn't want to have three conversations in a row with Rachel that ended with them not being friends. "Um, so, you said you moved in with Tiffany? What's she like?"

"Well, we've only been living together for a week, but she seems nice."

"Think she'll be any competition?" Kurt joked.

"Maybe. She got into NYADA, which obviously means she has some talent. But, I don't think she has what it takes to go all out and get the parts. I mean, I'm not afraid to do whatever it takes to get what I need." Well, same old Rachel. It was true though. Rachel would step on anyone and anything that had any chance of getting in her way, and she definitely proved that through three years of glee club.

"But, didn't you say you've only known her for a week? How can you know how competitive she is based on that short time of knowing her?"

"I don't know for sure, but I have a pretty strong feeling about this."

"Well, let me know how that goes. So is it just the two of you?"

"No, we're also living with Sean and Nick, but they aren't coming until late July. I don't know how or why they are waiting that long to come, but it's their decision." Well, that could certainly be an interesting apartment considering it was four incredibly driven musical theatre people living together. Kurt could just imagine the drama that would unfold throughout the year.

"Well, maybe they have things at home that they need to take care of. I know that if I would be going to NYADA, as much as I would have wanted to get to New York, it would have been hard. I mean, saying goodbye to my dad and Blaine was way harder than I thought it would be."

"Well, at least you still have a boyfriend," Rachel sighed. Ok, Kurt could deal with this. This was simple jealousy about having a significant other.

"Yes, I may still have a boyfriend, but you should still have one too. Trust me, I definitely did not think Finn should have broken up with you, but he did and we can't change that. He was just trying to make things the best for you," Kurt said. Kurt never agreed with Finn's decision to break up with Rachel, but there was nothing Kurt could do to stop Finn. It was Finn's life and he had to make his own decisions, regardless of how stupid they may be.

"Yeah, but I don't agree with it. We could have handled being apart and still being together. He didn't have to break up with me."

"I know," Kurt sighed. "But hopefully he'll realized how big he screwed up relatively quickly."

"I guess," Rachel agreed. "Anyway, how was your moving?"

"It was fine. Just a lot of stuff to move. Yours?"

"Pretty good. I mean I didn't have a lot to move as far as furniture or anything. The apartments that they provide us with for NYADA are all furnished so there's less work for us."

"You are incredibly lucky. I had to get all of my furniture so many stairs. I think Blaine, my dad, and I were all dying after that."

"Well, at least it's done and you don't have to worry about it anymore."

"I guess that's true. I'll just have an issue when I move out."

Rachel laughed. "Unless you plan to live there forever."

"No thank you. I would like to become successful enough to own a place that has multiple bedrooms and a walk in closet." Rachel laughed.

"It's not funny. Do you have any idea how long it took me to find a way to organize my wardrobe? I don't know how that it is considered a closet," Kurt said. It was true. The closet left a lot to be desired.

"You're just upset because you no longer have your walk in closet."

"Wouldn't anyone? I'm used to having a walk in closet and having enough space to organize everything neatly. I don't have that anymore and it's frustrating."

Rachel laughed again. "Kurt you'll be fine. Maybe you should just try owning less clothes."

Kurt glared at Rachel. Owning fewer clothes was definitely not an option. "Rachel, I need to be prepared for everything. And I can't do that without my entire wardrobe. That's just not possible."

"Whatever you say, Kurt." Seriously, Rachel was going to give Kurt a hard time for his wardrobe when her wardrobe looked like that of a kindergarten student? Who owned that many animal sweaters?

Rachel's phone vibrated on the table. She shot Kurt an apologetic look and opened the message. "Kurt, I'm so sorry, but I have to go."

"That's fine. Thanks for meeting with me."

"Not a problem. It was kind of fun. Hopefully we can do this again sometime."

"Definitely," Kurt said as he stood up from the table and gave Rachel a hug. "See you around, Rachel."

"Bye, Kurt," Rachel said. She then turned around and walked out the door of the coffee shop.

Once Rachel was gone, Kurt breathed a sigh of relief. Kurt had finally made it through a conversation with Rachel that didn't end with either person being upset. Kurt quickly pulled out his phone and sent a message to Blaine.

Hey, just finished with Rachel. Skype in 20? –K

As soon as the message was sent, Kurt walked out of the shop and started his walk back to his apartment.

Kurt hadn't even made it a full block before his phone was vibrating.

Sounds great! How did it go? –B

I'll tell you on Skype. I'm just walking home. –K

Fine. I'll wait. Be on soon. –B

I will. –K

When Kurt sent his final message, he was one block away from his apartment building. He quickly entered and ran up the stairs to his apartment. Kurt slid off his shoes and walked to the bedroom, grabbed his computer, and logged on to Skype. Blaine was already online, so Kurt hit call and waited for his boyfriend's face to show up on the screen.

"Hey, baby!" Kurt greeted when the call finally connected.

"Hello to you to. Now, what happened?"

"It went well. We're still on speaking terms so I think we can call it a success."

"Seriously? How did you manage that?" Blaine couldn't believe it. He thought for sure Rachel was going to break down and get mad at Kurt again.

"Well we didn't really talk about NYADA or Broadway too much, so that helped," Kurt explained. "But, in all reality I don't think we can call it a complete success until Rachel and I actually talk about Broadway and NYADA seriously."

"That makes sense. So what did you talk about?"

"Little bit of this. Little bit of that. Her roommates, our moving experiences, all that fun stuff."

"Rachel is living with people? As in multiple people are going to be living with Rachel Berry?"

"Yeah, that should be interesting as time goes by. She's living with another girl and two guys. She's already with the girl."

"I'm sorry, but I don't think I would be able to live with Rachel," Blaine said. He liked Rachel as a friend, but he didn't think he could handle living with her.

"I don't think many people could for very long. Looking back on all that has happened, I don't know if I would have made it living with Rachel. I mean she is one of my friends, but her jealousy is insane. Like, say I did better than her in a class or got a better part in a show or something, how would I live with that?"

"Well you don't have to worry about that. You're living on your own. You're not living with Rachel. And then next year, I'll be in New York with you next year."

"Now that is something I'm looking forward to."

"Me too. Just one more year and we'll be in an apartment together."

Kurt smiled. "I can't wait."
