Kurt woke up bright and early for his press conference. He really really didn't want to be pestered with questions but he also fed up with getting asked the same question over and over and having more press following than usual. He sighed to himself and rolled out of bed to get ready for his long day.

Blaine woke up an hour before breakfast so he could shower. When he was done he looked at the time and realized he still had a little time until he had to go downstairs so he opened his song book and started writing. When he was almost done with the lyrics he realized he should go down. He quickly titles the song 'One day at a time.'

Kurt has the cab driver stop at Starbucks and then to Sarah's house. Where the press conference was going to be held in her backyard. They pull up to her house Kurt pulls $40 dollars to pay for cab-fair. Her house was outside the city so it costs a little bit of money to get there. The cab driver accepts right when Kurt is about to get out of the cab she opens her mouth. “I love you and Blaine so much! Can I have your autograph.” Kurt smiles and takes the paper she offered. It wasn't the first time a cab driver asked for an autograph.

“Thank you so much.”

“Your so welcome have a great day.” And he got out of the cab and headed to Sarah front door. As soon as he knocked she answered.

“Hey how are you?” She said while hugging him.

“I'll be better once this is over with.” He said hugging back.

Sarah grinned “You and me both. Ok come they are already back there.”

Kurt followed her to the backyard to be blinded by hundreds of cameras. He made his way to the podium and began to talk knowing the flashes wouldn't die down.

“Hi I”m Kurt Hummel and I'm opening up everything for questions.” Right after he was done talking their were several reporters calling his name. He knew this part of this would end up on the news and the whole thing on Youtube, so he would try his best not break down at their questions.

“You in the front.” He said pointing at a reporter.

“Are you and Blaine Anderson really broken up? Have you talked to him lately?”

“Yes me and Blaine are broken up. Yes I talked to him yesterday.”

His name was being called once again. He pointed to another reporter.

“Did you see the picture of Blaine and that guy? Is it true that he cheated?”

This was the question Kurt had been dreading. He did see the picture, it was everywhere.

A guy, named, Drake posted this picture on twitter, with the caption. Had a party with Blaine, he got a little drunk. And yes we had sex.

Kurt had to give an answer. “Yes I have seen the picture, it wasn't Blaine it was edited, he never cheated.” Kurt lied. “You in the front.” Kurt said, while pointing at another reporter.

“What did you talk about on the phone yesterday?”

“A variety of stuff, just a little bit of everything.” Kurt pointed to another reporter.

“If you aren't together, why do you guys tweet each other that you love each other.”

“I do love him, we just can't be together right now, but I think we will end up together. I'm here to love and support him.”

They went in a pattern asking and answering questions for 2 hours Kurt was then allowed to go home he was super happy to lay down in his bed with Dalton and watch bad reality TV he then got a call from Rachel.

Blaine got his food and found Izzy already sitting down. He made his way over there and sat down. “Hey.” He said and she looked up.

“Hey... How are you?”

“I'm good you?”

“I'm good.” And they talked until breakfast was over.

“We both have free time to you want to go to my room?”

“Ya let's go.”

“So Kurt's coming on Friday? Are you excited?”

“Yes he is and I'm very excited! Who's coming for you? Do you know yet?”

“Ya actually it's gonna be my mom.” She said a little sadly

“What's wrong do you not want to see your mom?”

“No, I do It's just.... I wanted it to be Jake.”

“Oh Jake's your ex-fiance right?”

“Ya.”

“Well don't worry maybe he'll come another time.” Blaine said while opening the door.

“Ya maybe...”

They went logged into twitter. “Wow 20,000 followers pretty good!” Blaine said to Izzy.

“Ya it's a real difference.” They continued to look through twitter when something caught there eyes.

'Kurt Hummel press conference.' Then the link to the Youtube video.

“Oh shit I forgot he was having a conference today I wonder how it went I need to call him.” Blaine said while picking up his phone.

“Ok I'll give you guys some privacy I'll see you at lunch?”

“No stay he'd love you!”

“I don't know Blaine.”

“Nope you don't get a say.”

“Ok.”

Blaine quickly dialed the number he knew so well and put it on speaker. It only took 2 rings for Kurt to answer.

“Hello.” Kurt said in his normal high-pitched voice. Izzy did a little squeal.

“Blaine? Did you just squeal?”

Blaine laughed “No, Kurt there is someone I want you to meet... Well talk to.” And he handed Izzy the phone.

“Hi I'm Izzy! I'm such a huge fan. I have a Ipod shuffle dedicated to all your performances and I hope I can see wicked when it comes out. I love you and Rachel. Hummelberry and Klaine. Ahhh I just love you. Your designs are flawless! I have tons of you clothes! Oh my god I can't even believe I'm me. I met Blaine now I'm talking to you. I love music! I play guitar and other instruments and-” She said fastly, until she was interrupted by Kurt. 

“Ok ok breath sweetie. Thank you that's very flattering. So you said you like Rachel?”

“Yes, Yes I do.” There was shuffling on the other line when a different voice came on the phone.

“Hi I'm Rachel Berry.” A really loud squeal escaped Izzy's mouth no matter how hard she tries to stop it.

“OH MY GOD! MY LIFE IS COMPLETE KURT AND RACHEL ARE ON THE PHONE WITH ME! NO BIG DEAL! OH WAIT YES IT'S A BIG DEAL.”

“Again with the breathing.” Kurt said to her.

“Right right. I'm a huge fan of you too! I saw you when you played Fanny, and I loved it!” Izzy said to Rachel.

“Thank you... Any friend of Blaine is a friend of us!” Rachel said.

“Yes Izzy thank you for being his friend when we couldn't be there! It means a lot.” Kurt said.

“Oh my god...”

“Yeah you seem very sweet we will have to meet you one time.... Maybe when I come on Friday.”

“I'd love that... Here talk to Blaine he really wanted to talk to you.”

“Ok see you soon Izzy.” Kurt said.

“It was nice to talk to you hopefully I'll meet you one time.”

“See you soon Kurt. Bye Rachel.”

With that Izzy passed the phone to Blaine with a smile.

“Hey Kurt, Hey Rachel!” Leaving the phone on speaker so Izzy could hear.

“Hey Blaine.” Kurt and Rachel said in unison.

“What are you guys doing?”

“Watching TV with Dalton and Rachel.”

“Cool.” Blaine said with jealousy in his voice, he wished he could be there with Kurt.

“Ya what are you and Izzy up to?” Rachel asked.

“We're enjoying free time before we have to do stuff.”

“How long do you have free time?” Kurt questioned.

“Until after lunch... So Kurt I saw you had your press conference today... How did that go?”

“Oh you know it was super boring. You were a high topic.”

All four of them talked for another 20 minutes until Blaine and Izzy had to head down for lunch.

“Ok I'll talk to you later. Elephant shoes” Blaine said.

“Ok Elephant shoes.” Kurt said then hung up. Kurt and Blaine often said Elephant shoes when they wanted to say 'I love you.' but they were in the middle of homophobic Lima, Ohio. Nobody knew their code and they would never would.

“Elephant shoes?” Izzy asked.

“When we were Juniors in high school he transferred back to McKinley I serenaded him and he promised me he would never say goodbye to me. Later that day Kurt and I were at the zoo and we saw an Elephant named shoes. We said goodbye to shoes and I don't really know why but that was always our signal for bye.” Blaine lied. That was always their story when ever anyone asked why they were saying Elephant shoes.

“Oh. That's sweet!” Izzy said while walking down to the dining hall behind Blaine.

----------

“Hello my darling.” Kurt answered when Rachel called.

“Hey Kurt! How did the press conference go?”

“Oh you, know boring as always but I'm hoping they won't pester me as much anymore.”

“Well now they have their answers but you never know.... So any other plans for our day off?”

“Nope just gonna watch TV with Dalton. What about you?”

“I'm just gonna watch TV with you and Dalton.”

“I look forward to it.” 15 minutes later Rachel was knocking on Kurt's door. With reporters behind her yelling her name wanting a photo. Kurt opened the door and quickly let Rachel in.

“Your a little dressed up just to watch TV.” Kurt said to Rachel.

“Don't worry I brought sweats I'm gonna change."

Kurt was wearing yoga pants and a Klaine t-shirt. Kurt picked The Real Housewives of New Jersey because it had the most drama. Once Kurt and Dalton were comfortable on his and Blaine's huge bed, Rachel came out of the bathroom.

“Klaine shirt huh?”

“It's comfortable.”

“Ya. Why did you guys break up if you obviously still love him? I know he loves you and he's getting help.”

“Rach it's complicated and we'll get back together I hope.”

“Ok whatever you say.”

“Ready to watch Teresa flip a table?”

“Ohhhh I love this one.” They were about 20 minutes into the episode.

“Danielle's a bitch.” Kurt said.

“I know and a huge liar.” Right after Rachel said that Kurt's phone began to sing Teenage Dream by Katy Perry but it was Blaine's cover he did.

“I'm guessing that's Blaine.” Rachel said while Kurt answered his phone.

--------

“Elephant shoes? You guys still do that?”

“Ya of course we do! I meant it when I said it I will never say goodbye to him.”

Rachel rolled her eyes but smiled.

“Has Blaine ever thought of doing another cover album but do other artists other than Pink and Katy Perry.”

Blaine's 5th album he did covers of Katy Perry and Pink.

“I don't know.... It was good though. I like his and Pink's voice together, like when they sang Just Give Me a Reason.” Blaine and Pink were really good friends and Pink wrote Just Give Me a Reason and asked Blaine to sing it with him a few years back.

“Me too.” They continued their reality TV marathon.

Blaine and Izzy got their lunch and sat down at a near empty table. “So people are saying we are the new Hummelberry and that's a big deal. They have wanted me to have a friendship like Kurt and Rachel's for a long time.”

“You got Sam... Blam!”

“As much as the fans love my goofy friendship with the country singer they have always wanted me to have a girl best friend and sure I'm friends with lots of girls but I wouldn't consider them my best friend. So I think the fans are expecting you to be that.”

“Do you want me to be that?”

“Of course! I think we have a life time friendship going on here. But I think I should know more about you....”

“Ok.... I'm 23, I grew up in LA I love all music but especially Indie rock! My favorite bands are Sleeping with Sirens, Pierce the Veil and Black Veil Brides. My favorite color is black and pink. You have been my favorite artist since you came out with your first song. I love when you collaborate with other artists. I also love Broadway.”

“Wow, so why did you move across the country?”

“LA Just.... I don't know I just always watched shows when they were in New York and I always wanted to live here and now here I am. Also Broadway is here!”

“What did you always want to be when you grew up?”

“Either on Broadway or in a band. Most people don't believe that I like Broadway.... I think it's because of my rocker image but I'm a huge musical theater nerd.”

“Me too I love Broadway even before the love of my life was the star of Broadway.”

“Wow! You really do love him, don't you?” Izzy said in aww. Very few people love someone like Kurt and Blaine love each other.

“More than anything.... I'd do anything for him.”

“That's just adorable and by the way he talks to you he loves you a lot too.”

“I hope so”

They talked until the end of lunch until Izzy had to go to Alcohol education and Blaine had to go to a therapy session.

“Hey I'll see you at dinner. I got really good news that I will tell you then.”

“Tell me now.” Izzy said with a little bit of a whine in her voice.

“Nope, dinner.”

“Fine see you then.” They then went their separate ways.

“Hello Blaine how are you?” Dr. Webb asked when he got into her office.

“I'm ok, I finally made a friend.”

“Ohhh who's your friend?”

“Izzy. She's a lot of fun to be around.”

“That's great... So I hate to change this topic but I have to ask, have you had any cravings for alcohol?”

“Ya....” Blaine said, shame laced in his voice.

“And when was that? What was going on?”

“Yesterday when I was all alone and I just felt sad.”

“What did you feel sad about?”

“Kurt and what I did to him.”

The therapy session went on for another 2 and half hours. Blaine went back to his room and logged onto Youtube. His whole home page was of Kurt's press conference. He saw he had some time to watch part of it. The first five minutes were always boring except for this time. When the reporter asked about the cheating, it made Blaine so happy that Kurt lied to protect him. He hoped his fans would never find out about him cheating, he wants as little people to know as possible. He continued watching as more questions came up.

“Mr. Hummel do you still love Mr. Anderson?”

“Of course I'll love him forever he was my first love and if I'm lucky he'll be my last.” Blaine's heart grew impossibly bigger. Blaine wants him to be the last too. 

“Why did you and Blaine break up?”

“Well uhhh... umm! We were having a lot of problems with his alcoholism and stuff. I said when he gets help we can maybe pick up where we left off.”

Blaine continued to watch until he had to go to Alcohol education. Which went uneventful. Blaine went to group counseling excited to see Izzy. He walked in before she did so he sat in an empty area. She came in 2 minutes later with tear stained cheeks. Blaine knew after he had his therapy session he looked the same so he didn't ask. He waved her over and she made her way over to him.

“Hey.” She said sadly.

“Hey.” Blaine said in return.

“Can you tell me the good news now I really need it.”

“Well counseling is about to start but I'll give you the basics... My record company heard us sing As Long as You Love Me and they want us to record an acoustic album together of songs I already did... I'll tell you more later.”

“OH MY GOD I WOULD LOVE THAT!” Right then it started and Izzy was back to her normal bubbly self.

Once it was over Blaine and Izzy made their way to the dining hall.

“Tell me more.” Izzy said

“Like does he have a car.” Blaine laughed and Izzy slapped his arm.

“No time for Grease tell me!”

“When were sitting.” Izzy huffed angrily but agreed. Once they were sitting Izzy started begging to be told more.

“Ok ok... Well we need to pick 10 songs including As Long As you Love me and when we get out of rehab we record them acoustic. They want us to get the list as soon as possible so during free time we can go make a list of songs by me we want to do."

“Ok hurry and eat we will skip dessert. FASTER BLAINE!!!!”

“Ok.” He chuckled. They ate within 20 minutes and Izzy dragged Blaine to his room. He pulled out a normal notebook.

“Ok well we need As Long as you Love me!” Blaine said while writing that down.

“How many Grammy's have you won?” Izzy asked while looking at a picture of he and Kurt, Blaine with a Grammy in his hand.

“2... Hoping I'll get more.”

“You will!”

After 3 hours they finally got the track list of Blaine's songs they are going to play!

1. As Long As You Love Me

2. Iris

3. A Team

4. Locked out of Heaven

5. Treasure

6. Let Love Bleed Red

7. Without You

8. It Boy

9. Cooler than me

10. Other side

“It's getting late I should probably go back my own room..."

“See you tomorrow Izzy!”

 

When she was gone he opened his song writing journal and finished One Day at a Time. He would write the music later. With a quick goodnight text to Kurt he went to sleep.
