The cafeteria was packed with people, and Kurt looked nervously around as old nerves began to creep back. He tried to hide it, chosing to stay near the two siblings instead. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see the two conversing easily.

"...and that is how I got into the warblers, you know, I never really explained this to you before. " Blaine sighed. Alia smirked. "Are you ready for your audition? " He asked, turning to Kurt. Meanwhile, Kurt was deep in his own thoughts.

"Kurty.... you've really been out of it lately..." Blaine said, snapping his finger in front of Kurt's face.

Kurt blinked before responding." Erm...what?" He asked, nervous.

Blaine furrowed his brows. " Are you okay? What's wrong?" Blaine asked. Kurt smiled at Blaine, but it was obviously fake.

"Nothing, what were you saying?" Kurt asked. He hoped that Blaine would just go along with it and hopefully move faster. They were currently pushing people and to get into the cafeteria. It wasn't very comfortable for Kurt. Not since Karofsky.

"I asked whether you were ready for your audition." Blaine said, cautious. Kurt looked at him in alarm and surprise.

"Shoot! I didn't remember to pick a song!" He said, burying his face in his hand. " So very very very dead I am." He lifted his head as he thought of an idea. " I am going to actually text Rachael right now and see if she could help me pick a song. I was thinking my heart will go on..." He ran off, also partly glad that he had an excuse to leave the crowded space.

He looked at his phone when he reached his dorm. Looking down, he noticed another anoymous text. His instinct told him not to open the text but his curiousity got the better of him. Shaking slightly, he clicked open. In front of him were seven taunting words.

I am going to kill you Kurt, you turned David gay. I know you did.

Kurt gulped, he quickly shut his phone and ran to his room, shutting the door before throwing up in the bathroom. He picks up the phone that he put in his bag and dropped it, trembling and scared. He heard the faint knocking on his door and he closed his eyes.

"Wes, are you sure he's in there?"

"Oh my gosh Jeff! Did you not hear him throwing up?"

Nick smacked Jeff lightly on the head. Jeff pouted.

"Is the door locked?"

"Ofcourse you idiot!"

"Did you attempt it?"

"...no..."

David opened the door and everyone looked at Wes, who shrunk under their glares. Everyone rushed into the room.

"Kurt?" Some one said. There were footsteps outside his room. Kurt jumped up before recognising David's voice.

He quickly cleaned the vomit up.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I think I am just a bit sick..."

"You should stay in."

"No, I am going to school today, that's the end of this conversation."

David watched as Kurt exited the bathroom. Other than looking a bit paler, nothing looks very different, except a fraction of an emotion passing Kurt's eyes that David wouldn't miss. He narrowed his eyes.

"Okay."

"David...."

"I stand by what I said. " David said, raising a hand. " But you can always talk to me."

David looked at Kurt kindly and Kurt smiled his thanks.

"Now get out warblers, Kurt needs at least a few moments of rest."

The boys grudgingly piled out, casting Kurt apologetic looks as they left. Kurt has grown on them, and he was like family to them. They didn't want to leave behind a brother, but they know that David is right. Kurt needed a rest.

Kurt on the hand was stressed. He had enough to worry about with out these threats, he moved to Dalton to feel safe, not be haunted with threats and offensive texts. He wipes away the tears like he had always done and got back up. He wasn't going to let them take control of his life.

He looked over song choices instead for the audition.

When the warbler meeting began, nobody thought that Kurt would show up, but Kurt did, clearing his throat and looking at a startled Wes, who jumped up and clapped his hands together.

"Good, you're ready. Let's hear it Kurt. What are you singing for us today?"

"I am going to be singing the salt water room." Kurt said

"Don't you need a duet partner for that?"

"Yes. Blaine could you help?" Kurt asked.

Blaine was stunned there. "Sure."
