Chris looks at Darren, confused. Finally, he manages to say "Um, yeah. Sure." Darren leads Chris out the door, and as they walk down the driveway, he starts sweating uncontrollably. Chris notices the sweating, and eventually asks, "Darren, are you OK? You seem to be sweating an unusual amount of sweat."
"Oh, yeah, totally. This is n-normal." Darren says nervously. They continue to walk down the driveway, down the sidewalk a little ways, just out of sight of Kevin's house, the sun setting beautifully behind them. They stand in silence on the sidewalk for a little bit, until Chris finally breaks the awkwardness.
"So, um...Darren? What did you...um....want to talk about?"
Darren starts sweating even more. "Um...well...OK. I'm just going to come out and say this. Chris, I love you. I may be engaged right now, but ever since the end of our show I've been questioning my sexuality, and I realized that i no longer love Mia as much as I love you, Chris."
"Y..you do?"
"Yes, Chris, I do. So, with that being said, will you go out with me? Please say something. I know I'm throwing a lot of information at you all at once and...."
"I'd thought you'd never ask." Chris says, pulling Darren in for a kiss. Darren wraps his arms around Chris's waist. They stay there for what seems like no time at all for the two gays, before Chris finally pulls away.
"But what about your engagement? A..and the guys inside? Are we going to make us official to them?" he says, panicked.
"They don't need to know. Not yet at least." Darren grabs Chris's hand. "Let's go inside. I heard Kevin talking to Becca about a tribute to Mark and Cory." They walk back to the house hand in hand, letting go as they approach the driveway. They reach the front door, but before they go inside, Darren stops Chris.
"Remember.." he says, pointing a finger at the door. "They don't know about us."
"So, basically keep a safe distance from each other?"
"Yes." They walk inside to find everybody gathered in the darkened living room, the only light coming from candles placed around pictures of Mark and Cory. They join the rest of the cast in a song to remember them.
Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes
Five hundred twenty five thousand moments so dear
Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure, measure a year?
In daylights, in sunsets,
In midnights, in cups of coffee?
In inches, in miles,
In laughter, in strife?
In five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes,
How do you measure a year in the life?
How about love?
How about love?
How about love?
Measure in love.
Seasons of love,
Seasons of love.
Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes,
Five hundred twenty five thousand journeys to plan,
Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes,
How do you measure the life of a woman or a man?
In truth that she learned,
Or in times that he cried?
Ins he burned,
Or the way that she died?
It's time now, to sing out,
Though the story never ends.
Let's celebrate, remember a year,
In the life of friends.
Remember the love, (Oh you got to, you got to remember the love)
Remember the love, (You know that love is a gift from up above)
Remember the love, (Share love, give love, spread love)
Measure in love, (Measure, measure your life in love)
Seasons of love, (Love)
Seasons of love, (Love)
Rest In Peace

And now Naya Rivera :(((((
*Ah, I missed singing with you guys so much!" Chord Overstreet says, stuffing a small piece of red velvet cake in his mouth.
"Me too!" Naya Rivera pipes in. "Maybe, before we all leave, let's sing another song, something that won't make us all cry." Numerous cheers erupt from around the kitchen, where everyone is gathered.
"Well, it looks like we are singing one more time together!" Harry Shum Jr. says. "Any suggestions?"
People start saying their favorites, like Don't Stop Believing, Paradise by the Dashboard Light, and Loser Like Me. They were about to prepare to sing Don't Stop Believing, before Darren suggests I Lived, since everyone that appeared on Glee was in that performance. Everyone agrees, and they finish their desserts, and head back into the living room to sing.
Hope when you take that jump,
You don't feel the fall
Hope when the water rises, you built a wall
Hope when the crowd screams out,
You screaming your name
Hope if everybody runs, you choose to stay
I hope that you fall in love,
And it hurts so bad
Yeah
Oh!
The only way you can know,
You give it all you had
Hey, yeah
And I hope that you don't suffer
But the take the pain
Hope when the moment comes you'll say
I, I did it all
I, I did it all
I owned every second that this world could give
I saw so many places the things that I did
With every broken bone
I swear I lived
Hope that you spend your days,
But they all add up (Oh)
And when that sun goes down,
Hope you raise your cup
Oh,
I wish that I could witness all your joy
And all your pain
But until my moment comes I'll say
I, I did it all
I, I did it all
I owned every second that this world could give
I saw so many places the things that I did
With every broken bone
I swear I lived
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Hey,
With every broken, I!
I, I did it all (I did it all, yeah)
I, I did it all (I did it all, yeah!)
I owned every second that this world could give
This world could give
I saw so many places the things that I did
Yeah!
With every broken bone, I swear I lived
Woah, oh (Oh, yeah)
I swear I lived
Woah, oh

After emotional goodbyes that seemed to last forever, Chris and Darren were alone in the driveway.
"Well, I guess this is goodbye." Chris says with the slight sound of disappointment in his voice.
"Don't worry, Chris. We will have our date nights."
"But what about Mia? You two are getting married next month. How long do you plan on keeping this a secret?"
"Once a week, I'm going to lie to her and say that I will be out having dinner with the cast. But really, I'm out doing whatever my boyfriend wants to do that night." Darren pokes a finger into the chest of a smiling Chris Colfer.
"But Mia still may find out. Anybody could find out, and tell the whole world that we are together."
"Don't worry." Darren says, kissing Chris on the cheek. "Nobody knows, and we will keep it that way for a while. See you next Saturday. I love you."
"I love you too, Darren." They hop into separate cars, and begin to drive away. As soon as both cars aren't in sight, a window slams shut. "Oh, Darren. You think that nobody knows." Kevin says evilly. "But soon, very soon. I will let the whole world know that you are a gay little lying sack of shit. Just you wait. Just. You. Wait."
