Graceland (A GLEE Fanfiction)

I Hope She's Okay...

"Yeah, I remember you telling me that."

"Well, in my junior year, we were doing a production of Grease. There was a cheer thing before our musical, and one of the confetti cannons misfired."

"Why was there a cheer performance?"

"Something about school pride or something."

"Oh. And who did you play in Grease?"

"Danny Zuko. ANYWAYS, during the reprise of 'Look at Me, I'm Sandra Dee,' the cannon finally worked, and the girl who played Sandy ended up covered in confetti."

"WHAT?" Rachel laughed.

"No joke!"

"Oh my God!"

Once they both calmed down, Rachel's phone started ringing. She checked the caller ID and noticed that Kurt was calling on FaceTime.

"Should I pick up?" she asked Gabe, showing him the caller ID.

"Hell yeah!" he replied. "I wanna meet him!"

"Alright." She answered to see Kurt's smiling face. At the sight of him, she found herself screaming in delight.

"Do people from Lima greet each other like that?" Gabe asked, hearing both her scream and the scream of the phone.

"How's NYADA without me?" Kurt asked.

"Boring as hell," Rachel replied. Gabe loudly cleared his throat before she added, "Well, with the exception of one part."

"Would that one part be the cute new guy you keep telling me about?"

"Shush!" Rachel whispered. "He's right here!"

"Sorry!"

"So, that's Kurt?" Gabe asked.

Kurt heard his voice and mouthed, Is that him? Rachel nodded.

"Kurt," she said, showing Gabe her phone screen, "meet Gabe. Gabe, Kurt."

"I've heard a lot about you," Kurt spoke.

"Same with you," Gabe responded.

Rachel then turned the screen back to her when she heard the doorbell ring.

"Crap," she whispered. "I have to get that."

"I'll be waiting," Kurt answered as she put the phone down. "And Rachel?"

"Yes?" she asked.

"He's cute," he mouthed.

"I know," she mouthed back before setting the phone down again.

As she went to answer the door, Gabe picked up the phone and started talking to Kurt.

"So," he started, "how long have you known Rachel?"

"Four years," Kurt replied.

"Really?"

"We first met in glee club."

"How was she?"

"She was a NIGHTMARE," Kurt laughed. "Now that I look back, it was actually pretty funny."

"Because of how nice she is now?" Gabe asked.

"Yeah, but enough about me!" Kurt exclaimed. "Rach told me that you like Broadway?"

"Yeah," Gabe answered.

"What's your favorite musical?"

"I think it would have to be either Wicked or Catch Me if You Can."

"The one based on the movie?"

"Yeah."

"Can you sing?" Kurt asked.

"Yeah, I think I'm pretty good," Gabe replied.

"Then sing!"

"What do I sing?"

"Anything!"

"Well," Gabe started. Maybe I can sing a bit of Live in Living Color... "Alright."

He cleared his throat before singing. His voice was a bit timid because he didn't want to disturb Rachel while she was at the door, but it came out when he finished the stanza. "So sit back and let me be your TV Guide!"

When Gabe was done, Kurt suddenly became speechless.

"WOW!" he managed to spit out.

"Thanks."

"You sound AMAZING! You HAVE to come to Lima and help us mentor the kids!"

"I might, if-" He heard the door slam and he looked up to see Rachel in tears.

"Whoa," he said, getting up and pulling her into a hug. "What's wrong?"

"I need to be alone," she replied, pushing him away and rushing to her room.

"Um," Kurt spoke, "what's wrong?"

"I don't know," Gabe replied.

"KURT!" Burt Hummel. Kurt's father, yelled. "COME HERE! THIS IS IMPORTANT!"

"I gotta go," Kurt said. "It was nice meeting you, Gabe."

"You too."

"Oh, and one more thing."

"What?" Gabe asked.

"Give her a few days. Let her have her space. Whatever happened...it must be really important to her. Just let her calm down."

"Alright."

"KURT!"

"Bye Gabe," Kurt said quickly before hanging up.

After he hung up, Gabe placed Rachel's phone on the table before grabbing his jacket.

"Bye Rachel!" he yelled before leavingg. "Your phone's on the table!"

I hope she's okay, he thought.

"What's up dad?" Kurt asked when he came in. He then saw Carol in tears.

"Whoa, Carol, what's wrong?"

"That's what I need to talk to you about," Burt said. "Sit down."

Kurt slowly took a seat. "What's going on?"

Silence filled the room. Then Carol spoke up.

"It's about Finn."
