"SO, HOW IS EVERYTHING GOING?" DR PETERS ASKED CURIOUSLY, looking up at August with a gentle smile.

"Everything is going great." August confirmed, nodding his head softly as he smiled at her.

And everything was great, August and Puck were officially boyfriends. the glee club were only a few days away from Sectionals and he had stopped self-harming.

And he had become a lot more comfortable with Dr Peters and learned a lot about the woman, he had learned her name was Sarah, she was married to a man who worked at Dalton Academy amd the two had a teenage son.

"Is that so?" Dr Peters asked, pursing her lips as she looked at him with raised eyebrows. "Yeah, ever since me and Puck started dating, my life has been going great!"

"August, you do understand that pinning all of your happiness on one person is very unhealthy and it will lead to you crashing?" Dr Peters asked in a careful tone, making August roll his eyes.

"I'm not putting all of my happiness on Puck." August scoffed, slouching on the couch. "But you think he is the reason you've stopped hurting yourself?" She asked, crossing her legs.

"No offence, Dr Peters, but I'm okay. Like I said, everything is completely fine." August reassured, giving the blonde a tight lipped smile.

The glee club, minus Quinn, Finn and Puck, were sitting in the choir room, discussing who would be taking the group to Sectionals. August was sitting on the piano, listening to the others talk.

Although he had made good friends in Quinn and Rachel, he still felt alone sometimes when with the group as a whole.

"I bet we get stuck with Mr. Sinacori as our sectionals advisor." Artie spoke in an irritated voice. "Oh, the creepy math teacher?" Tina asked in disgust.

"He's always singing when he walks down the halls." Kurt informed, making August wrinkle his nose. "He always hits on me when I have detention with him."

"Hey, guys. Did any of you think it was weird the way that puck rushed to Quinn's aid during rehearsal yesterday?" Rachel asked curiously, August stiffening at the mention of his boyfriend and Quinn.

"No." Mercedes shrugged, Rachel turning to August. "you're dating Noah, is something off with him?"

"No, he's been totally normal." August shrugged, giving a small smile to Rachel, who was unconvinced

"Yeah, but it seemed like more than that. I've never told you guys this before, but I'm a little psychic. I can't read minds or anything yet, but I do have a sixth sense. Something is definitely going on there." Rachel explained, making the group panic.

"I need to go find Quinn." August spoke, walking out of the room, a few minutes later getting a call, as he accepted it, he heard the voices of the others.

"Hey. She's onto it." Mercedes spoke into the phone, August rolling his eyes as he leaned on his locker.

"I know. It's really freaking me out. Hold up. Artie's buzzing in. I'm going party line." Tina informed. "Dudes, this is serious. If she finds out, she's going to tell Finn. She's a total trout mouth."
