Blaine drove to Kurt's house the next morning. The entire glee club was heading to the train station to see Rachel off to New York. Kurt and Blaine had already decided that Blaine would drive as far as Kurt's house, and then they would drive to the station together and get some coffee at the Lima Bean afterwards.

They got to the train station and met with the rest of the New Directions, with the exception of Finn and Rachel. Kurt still hadn't told the rest of the group about what had happened, but now was not the time. Today, Kurt, as well as the rest of the group had to support Rachel.

And Kurt knew Rachel would need that support. She was going off to New York, had to accept the fact that someone did better than her, and her boyfriend will have just broken up with her. Kurt couldn't help but think that the last reason they had to be supportive was really dumb on Finn's part, but then again, Finn was never the most intelligent person when it came to relationships. For one thing, he had thought that he had gotten his girlfriend pregnant even thought they had never had sex. But this was Finn, and even if Kurt didn't agree with it, he just had to let his stepbrother do what he thought was best.

However, before Kurt could think about it too much, he saw Finn's car pull up. Rachel was already crying as she got out of the car and made her way to the platform. As she made her way to the train, she stopped to give everyone a hug as they wished her good luck and said their goodbyes.

Finally Rachel reached Kurt. He gave her a hug and said, "Good luck, Rachel. But, it's not like you'll need it. You'll be great in New York."

Rachel just hugged Kurt and simply said, "Goodbye, Kurt". Then she moved on to say goodbye to Blaine where she said, "Thanks for being a great Tony to my Maria."

"Anytime. Bye, Rachel and good luck," Blaine said as he hugged her.

Kurt bit his tongue as he watched Rachel and Blaine say goodbye. Kurt and Rachel had been friends for a few years now. But suddenly, Kurt did something good and now Rachel wouldn't talk to him. It was really upsetting for Kurt, but he hoped that eventually he could get Rachel to talk to him again.

Rachel said her goodbyes to the entire group and got on the train. The train turned the corner and the members of New Directions started going their separate ways. Kurt and Blaine walked to Kurt's car and drove to the Lima Bean.

Once they actually got on the road, Blaine said, "You've know her longer than me. How long before Rachel comes around and starts being your friend again?"

"I really don't know. You've known Rachel long enough to know that she has to be the best. I mean just look at the class president election. She didn't talk to me during the entire campaign."

Blaine nodded in understanding, and said, "Yes, but you two were technically opponents. Now, you are both going to end up doing the same thing, but you aren't going to be going for the same part. Can't she just get over it?"

"No, because apparently I did something better first, so until she does something bigger or better, I think it is safe to say that Rachel won't be talking to me for a while," Kurt sighed. "However, that won't stop me from trying to talk to her. I mean she is still one of my best friends."

Kurt pulled into the parking lot for the Lima Bean. The pair went in and ordered their coffees before heading to their usual table. After some small talk, Blaine asked Kurt, "So what do you think is going to happen when you call people tomorrow?"

"I don't know. I'm trying not to think about it too much. I don't want to get crushed because that has happened too many times this year. There was the election and West Side Storyand the initial NYADA letter." Kurt looked down at the table and said, "I don't know how much more depressing news I can take."

"You are going to be fine." Kurt looked up at Blaine as Blaine said, "Yeah, all those bad things happened, but look at all the good things that happened this year. West Side Story was still a lot of fun, Sectionals, Regionals, Nationals, Sugar's Valentine's Day Party." Almost as an after thought, Blaine added, "And then there was everything that happened with Carmen Tibideaux. You can't deny the fact that there were plenty of good things that happened this year."

"But for every good thing, something bad went along with it." Blaine rolled his eyes. Kurt looked at him seriously and said, "It's true and don't deny it. There was the Scandals incident with West Side Story. The group split up for Sectionals. We were all dealing with Karofsky's situation at Regionals. Oh, and then there was Quinn's accident right after. Then there was all the drama with Nationals. You were blinded by a slushie right before Sugar's party, and I spent the first 24 hours after I got my NYADA letter moping because I didn't get in. There were enough bad things that happened this year."

Blaine shook his head and said, "Must you be so pessimistic?"

Kurt took a deep breath. "Sorry, I'm just really nervous and so I keep thinking of the worst possible scenarios, which makes me think of all the bad things that have happened."

"I can see your point, but we have to get you thinking positively."

"I know, but it's a little bit challenging right now with everything that's going on."

"But, you still need to think positively."

"And how do you suppose I do that, seeing as you seem to have the answer for everything?" Kurt asked.

"I wouldn't say I have an answer for everything." Blaine laughed. "I could say something really cheesy about love and us, but I think that right now, I should be serious."

"That is always appreciated," Kurt laughed.

Blaine then said, "So tell me what are we going to do when I visit you, because I hope you realize that I will be visiting whenever I can."

"I hope you plan to visit often," Kurt smiled and then launched into all the things the two would do in New York.

They eventually left the Lima Bean and returned to Kurt's house where they curled up on the couch and put in a movie. Burt finally kicked Blaine out at 10:00 because Blaine still had an hour drive back to Westerville that night. After agreeing to text Kurt when he made it back, Blaine left and Kurt picked up in the living room.

Kurt brought the dishes to the kitchen where he found Burt. "How's it going, kiddo?"

"It's going. Although, I'm not going to lie, I am really nervous to make those calls tomorrow," Kurt responded.

"Why?"

"I don't even know what to expect. Did Tibideaux tell them about me already? –"

"Kurt-"

"Because if she didn't I'll probably look like an idiot who's just calling and-"

"KURT!" Burt yelled as he cut off his son's rant.

"Sorry, dad."

"Look, just breathe. The only thing you can do is call them tomorrow and hope for the best. Let's just take this one step at a time. So, let's not worry until we actually talk to people."

"Ok." Kurt nodded.

"And let's face it. Since when do you care about what other people think about you?"

"I don't typically. But, that was high school. I'm never going to see a lot of those people again. This is Broadway. It's a completely different situation."

"In some respects, yes it is a different situation. But, you still got to be you and not listen to what other people think of you."

Kurt smiled. "Thanks, dad."

"Now, are you still nervous?"

"Yeah, but I feel better than I did."

"That's good. Now, I don't know much about all of this Broadway stuff, but I'd imagine that you are going to actually have to go out to New York to actually meet face to face with some of these people, right?"

"Probably."

"So, did you book a flight yet? Because it would probably be good if you could tell them an exact time you are going to be in New York."

"Ok, I'll look at flights tonight. Maybe we could fly out next week. Then Rachel would still be there and then I could try to make peace with her again."

"And, we could look for an apartment, so you could move out soon."

"So, you've finally come to terms with the fact I'm leaving?"

"Yes," Burt sighed, "but that doesn't mean I'm happy with it."

"Thanks, dad. For everything."

"No problem, kiddo."

Kurt gave his father a hug and turned to leave the room, but before he actually left the kitchen he turned around and asked, "Would it be ok if I asked Blaine to come with us to New York? You know, for moral support and everything?"

"Sure, kid."

Kurt thanked his dad again and headed up stairs and opened his computer. At the same time, he took out his phone and sent a message to Blaine.

Hey, are you interested in going to New York next week? I could really use some moral support. –K

It didn't take to long for Kurt's phone to vibrate with Blaine's response.

Of course. I don't think I could pass up a trip to New York. :) –B

Kurt smiled and replied.

Awesome! I'll book your ticket with dad's and mine tonight. –K

Kurt then went to search the Internet for plane tickets for the three of them. After an hour of searching, he found what he found to be the cheapest tickets and booked them. Just as he was about to go to start his moisturizing routine, his phone vibrated again.

Would it be possible to visit Cooper for a little bit while we are in New York? I'm not sure why, but he's going to be there all next week. –B

Of course, you are kind enough to come with me, it's the least I could do. I'm just happy you and Cooper are getting along again. –K

Yeah. So I'm guessing we are going to New York to actually meet with Carmen's contacts? –B

Yeah and to look for an apartment and hopefully I can meet with Rachel and try to work things out. Ideally, we'd be sharing an apartment. –K

Wait, you want to share an apartment with Rachel? –B

Not necessarily, but it'd be nice to live with someone. And I'd prefer it to be Rachel, because I don't know anyone else at this point, and I'd rather not live with strangers. –K

Completely understandable. I should let you go so you can get some sleep before tomorrow. –B

If I can actually sleep. I'm so nervous, I don't know if I'm going to sleep. –K

You'll be fine. Just promise me that you will call me as soon as you are done with your phone calls. –B

I planned to. I'm probably going to need help emotionally after that. –K

Kurt, I thought I told you to stay positive? –B

You did, but say, hypothetially, good things happen because of those phone calls, I'm going to need help so I can calm down from excitement. –K

I love you. Get some sleep, Kurt. –B

Good night Blaine. –K

Kurt finished his moisturizing routine and crawled into bed. He tossed and turned for several hours, but finally fell asleep, only to wake up to his alarm four hours later.

Kurt sat up, still yawning and tried to rub the sleep out of his eyes. "Today's the day," he mumbled as he swung his legs over the side of the bed. Stretching, he got up and walked to the bathroom. He took a shower, brushed his teeth, got dressed, and did his hair. After letting out a sigh, he went downstairs to begin what was sure to be an eventful time of calling Carmen Tibideaux's Broadway contacts.
