Kate's POV

This week could be another horrible week. Dad's cancer result will come out in one day and this is totally freaking me out. Also my fax from FIT will come this week and this is more freaking me out like... I dont know how to picture it.

Mr. Schue back to glee club and next week we will have regionals in our auditorium and this week assignment is about Wonder-ful or just called it that it's Stevie Wonder's week according to Rachel got her Funny Girl callbacks then Mr. Schue and Ms. Pillsburry will getting married after regionals and Brittany is having her campus tour to MIT.

But not for me this week isnt not wonderful. I've got a lot of things to think about especially dad's cancer result that really freaking me out. Even Kurt went back home for this also regionals.

I turn my face and Kurt, Mercedes, and Mike walk into the choir room until Artie walk in and Kitty start singing and Jake also Ryder become the backup dancer.

Kitty:Ohh hey, ohh, yeah babyLike a fool I went and stayed too longNow I'm wondering if your love's still strong

Kitty with New Directions:Ooo, baby, here I amSigned, sealed, delivered, I'm yours!

Kitty:Mmm, then that time I went and said goodbyeNow I'm back and not ashamed to cry

Kitty with New Directions vocalizing:I've done a lot of foolish thingsThat I really didn't mean,Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, didn't I? Oh, babySeen a lot of things in this old worldWhen I touch them, they mean nothing, girl

Kitty with New Directions:Ooo, baby, here I amSigned, sealed, delivered, I'm yours!

"Seemed like the perfect Stevie song to celebrate Artie getting his acceptance letter into film school. Yeah, bring it. Signed, sealed, delivered." Kitty says to us as we are applauding and cheering for Artie.

"That's right." Mr. Schue says to us.

"Well, you know, that may have been the perfect song, but that performance was just one package that I'm not signing for. I mean, honestly, it was good, but you guys have got to be great for regionals." Mercedes says to us.

"Yeah, clearly we should be taking our advice from someone who came crawling back to Ohio after apparently having her L.A. dream shattered. You learn your new lyrics yet? Do you want fries with that?" Kitty raises her eyebrows at Mercedes.

"Oh, well, maybe if you put some of that sass in your performance, your teacher wouldn't have begged me to come here and be your new vocal coach." Mercedes simply said.

"Mercedes is one of the strongest vocalists in McKinley Glee Club history." Mr. Schue says to Kitty.

"So get on point, Kitty, your little theory about Mercedes' shattered dreams, like most of the garbage that comes out of your mouth, is wrong. All right, Mercedes is back because she has a new album coming out, all about home, and she's come back to film a video for it." Kurt says to us.

"Wow, Mercedes, that's awesome." Sam says to Mercedes.

"And Mr. Schue asked me to help choreograph for regionals." Mike says to us.

"I love you, Mike, I love all my exes. But this isn't wonderful news, it's shocking. Now we need some guy to help us dance? Hashtag Glee Hates Girls. And what are you here to lecture us about, Kurt, our horrible taste in clothing?" Tina glares at Kurt.

"My dad has cancer." Kurt frowns at Tina.

"Thanks, Tina." Blaine says to Tina.

"All right, let's take this whole thing from the top. Kitty in the back. Marley, I want you on lead vocals. All right, come on let's go." Mercedes says to us and walk to the front.

I just being quiet and still sitting down on my seat. I cant stop thinking about my dad. This is totally freaking me out and I dont know how to put that.

"So when some kind of pity party throw up, I wanna dance with a nerd girl." Ryder laughs.

"You are douchebag." Jake laughs.

I just half-smiled and looking at my tots. "Well, like you wanna date a nerd girl." Ryder laughs at Jake.

"Okay can we walk about anything else?!" I frown at them.

"Your dad is going fine. Dont worry about that." Jake holds my hand.

"Yeah he is a strong man. He even can beated coach Sylvester in congress." Tina says to me.

"It's just freaking me out like when he got heart attack. I mean, he is the only reason I started to smile after my mom died. My dad never say anything or give me any pep talks after my mom died. He just hold Kurt and I hands and take care of us until now. If I lose him, I feel like I'm nothing in this world." I sigh.

"He will be fine. We are here for you. Nothing can take your dad away from you okay. And I'm sorry for being so bitchy earlier. I really dont know about that." Tina half-smiled at me and holds my hand.

"Your dad is going to be fine okay. Just dont think about that." Artie says to me.

"Thank you guys." I half-smiled back at them. "And actually not only about the cancer result but also my acceptance letter from FIT should come this week but I guess I'm not get in since I havent receive their email or fax."

"No way. You are the most talented designer that I've ever known in this school. You will get that." Tina says to me.

"Here is the game plan, Kate. You lose your FIT, you still get Vogue Magazine, NYU, Columbia, or even PACE. You are really smart and you can get that. Dont give up like that. People like you should go to New York and make your dreams come true." Artie grins at me.

"Or I can turn my way to be a broadway star and get into NYADA. Yeah I know how make Carmen Tibideaux impressed with my performance." I chuckle.

"Dont be sad. We will figure something out later." Artie smiled at me.

"Thank you." I smile back at him.

"You wont be alone. We are here." Jake kisses my head.

I nodded and let out a sigh. I just hope that dad will be fine and I dont need to worry about him anymore or something else. And I want my acceptance letter from FIT to come.

~~~~

I'm laying flat in my bed and colouring ny design. I turn my face to my computer but no email come in. I let out a sigh and turn my face back to my design.

"Hey, are you mad because Mercedes didnt let you be the lead vocal for regionals?" Kurt walks into my room.

"A bit but it's not about that actually." I said to Kurt and sit down on my bed.

"Why? You've been quiet since you went back home and I know there must be something wrong with that." Kurt says to me and sit down in front of me.

"I'm waiting for my letter from FIT. I heard they will send this acceptance letter to me this week but until today I havent get that." I sigh.

"They might just postponed it. You will get into that." Kurt says to me.

"I dont know." I shrug and half-smiled at him.

"Kate, dont give up like this. It's making me sad." Kurt holds my hand.

"Be a designer is my dream and in FIT I can combine my interest in fashion and science." I said to Kurt.

"But do you remember that you were the one who told me and convience me to go to New York without any kind of plan? I did that and I got into NYADA now. And because of who? You." Kurt says to me.

"I feel like I'm worthless you know." I sigh.

"No, you're not. Who convience me to go to New York without any kind of plan? You. Who convience Finn to be a glee club director and make him confidence with his leader skill? You. Who work so hard for Blaine and Sam campaign for Senior Class President? You. You are priceless but you didnt realize that. And I dont wanna hear, my little sister give up on her dream. Kate, you're amazing, you're talented, and if we dont get to FIT, Vogue Magazine want to accept you. There are still many chance."

"It's double depressing since dad's cancer test result is tomorrow." I said to Kurt.

"I know. I'm worried about that too. I just dont want to see you being a sad sack. I promise, FIT will accept you, if they dont accept you, tell Michael Kors that you are deserve to work in this company." Kurt chuckles.

"Thank you. And-and I'm glad that you're here with me." I smile at him and hug him. "I miss you like crazy because when the last time you went home, I was sick." I chuckle.

"I'll always be back home, honey. I will always back home for you and dad." Kurt smiles at me.

"Well, wanna help me? I'm making some winter dress for cocktail party and can you help me to choose the colour?" I ask Kurt.

"Sure. It's been a long time we didnt lay down together and having argue about the design." Kurt chuckles and laying flat next to me on my right side. "Glad that you're left-handed so our hands wont be touching. Haha." Kurt laughs.

"Yes. It will be our best design." I chuckle.

Kurt is my brother but he is more typical of understanding and kind brother. So much different with Finn who more strict and asked me many question if went home late or being bitchy at school. But I love them both.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I went out from hospital guest toilet and put my pouch inside my ransel. I turn my face to my shoes and my jeans and nothing's wrong with it. I just wear a peach blouse, light blue jeans, white converse and ransel. Kurt and I believe that light colour will give good luck for us.

After that I walk back to that doctor office and sit down next to Carole. Kurt cant stop walk go back and forth. We've been waiting here since long time ago actually.

"How long have we been waiting?" Kurt asks us.

"I don't know. Like 15 minutes." Carole says to Kurt.

"After a half hour in the waiting room? Please tell me that is not a dark blue T-shirt under your flannel." Kurt says to dad. "All right, I asked you not to wear dark colors. Okay, dark blue is close to black, and we all know what black means." Kurt yelled.

"I don't think my wardrobe is gonna have any impact on what the results are." Dad simply said.

"But you don't know for sure, okay? I mean, I asked you to do one thing." Kurt protest.

"I am barely keeping it together, Kurt! Can you just knock it off please and sit down?" Dad frowns at Kurt.

"Dad..." I calm him down.

Kurt let out a sigh and sit down on a seat. I just hold Carole's hand to make myself calm. Kurt is too panic and dad doesnt get it. The doctor suddenly come out from the lab and turn their face at us.

"Hey, Doc, what's the good word?" Dad asks the doctor.

"You know, I'm gonna skip the cliches about my golf game and get right to it. As you know, we were mildly aggressive with your treatment considering you were still in stage I." The doctor says to us.

"We used implant radiation therapy." Carole says to the doctor.

"And he completely changed his diet." I said to the doctor.

"Well, whatever you were doing, it worked.The tumor's gone." The doctor smiles at us.

"What?" Dad gasped.

"Your PSA levels are back to normal, and you have the prostate of a 20-year-old according to your Gleason scores." The doctor says to us.

"Okay, wait, s-so you're saying he's cured?" Carole asks.

"We prefer 'in remission' but in layman's terms, yeah." The doctor smiles at us.

We are smiling at each other and I let out a sigh. "I was about to fainted." I chuckle.

"Hey! Hey! Looks like I picked the right shirt, huh, buddy? Come on, man!" Dad says happily and hugs Kurt.

"Oh! Doc, thank you so much." Dad saysbto the doctor.

"Thank you." Carole smiles to the doctor.

"Take a moment." The doctor smiles at us.

We are smiling happily and hugging each other. This is such a wonderful news. I even wanna cry because of this.

"Okay no tears." Kurt warned me.

"I was about to get heart attack actually." I chuckle.

"Oh, my God." Dad smiles at us. "I just I wasn't ready to leave you guys yet. Things aren't finished, right? So much to do. You both getting married, grandbabies, having old people sex with Carole." Dad says to us.

"Ugh." Kurt rolls his eyes.

"I'm just so happy. I'm not going to miss it. I love you guys. Oh, I love you. Love you. I don't have cancer." Dad hugs us together.

"Once again Burt Hummel cured from serious illness." I smile at dad.

"See? I told you to not worry about that. I know myself." Dad says to me.

Suddenly my phone is vibrating. I take my phone from my jeans pocket and Ms. Pillsburry texted me to go to her office right now.

"Ugh I have to go back to school." I said to them and take my ransel.

"What so urgent?" Dad asks me.

"I have class dad, and I skipped my two class for this. I have to go. See you guys at home." I wave them a goodbye and walk away.

I walk to the parking lot and unlock my car. I'm afraid that the fax from FIT already came because I used Ms. Pillsburry's fax number not mine and she is totally okay with that.

I start driving and drive away from the hospital. My heart beats so fast right now. I'm kinda afraid and curious at the same time. This is terrifying. Seriously.

I'm still driving then get into McKinley's parking lot. I park my car then went out from my car. I hold my ransel on my back walk to McKinley's building and get in.

I walk straight to Ms. Pillsburry office. I'm really excited but I'm also afraid. But I really hope I will get in.

"You call me, Ms. Pillsburry?" I knock her office door.

"Yes, sit down. I actually called you since thirty minutes ago." Ms. Pillsburry says to me.

"I was in the hospital for my dad's cancer test result." I said to her and sit down in front of her table.

"How's him?" Ms. Pillsburry asks me.

"He is fine. The cancer is totally gone." I smile at her. "So what happened?" I ask her.

"This morning when I checked out the school email. I got this. I know you were using this school faxes and email for your application letter and mostly that FIT never send their acceptance letter to their candidates home to avoid wrong address so they decided to send it to your school instead. So just open that." Ms. Pillsburry gives me an white envelope and smiles at me.

I open that envelope and read what its said on that paper. I cant believe this is happening. I mean this is really happening. My dreams come true and I never have to worry again. I got in. I got into FIT. Fashion Institute of Technology. I will go to New York.

"I will go to New York! I will live in New York!" I said happily.

"Yeay congratulations." Ms. Pillsburry smiles at me.

"Thank you. Thank you so much for all your help, Ms. Pillsburry." I smile back at her and hug her.

"Oh! You're welcome." Ms. Pillsburry giggles.

"These are good news. My dad cured. I got into FIT. What a wonderful news." I said to her. "Alright, I cant hold it anymore. I cant wait to tell this to Kurt and all my friends in choir room." I said to her and stand up from my seat.

"Congratulations once again." Ms. Pillsburry smiles at me.

"Thank you." I smile back at her and walk out from her office and hold this letter.

I cant believe it. I was desperated because of this school last night but today following with the good news from my dad, I got into FIT. I will make my dream come true. Studying about fashion combined with science. That's my dream and my passion.

I keep walking in the hallways with a smile on face. I literally cant hide it but I want to make a surprise and shock them. I walk to the choir room and see dad and Kurt are hugging each other.

"Dad, arent you supposed to be at home or somewhere not here?" I frown and get in.

"Or gone like what you did from the hospital?" Dad raises his eyebrows at me.

"I have my own business okay." I simply said.

"Okay Miss Bossy Pants, tell me where have you been?" Kurt raises his eyebrows at me.

"Ms. Pillsburry's office. She called me to come to her office about FIT." I said to Kurt.

"And?" Kurt asks excitedly.

"I.... got in! I got in! I will go to New York!" I yelled happily until the others gasped and cheering happily.

"Oh my gosh!" Kurt says happily and hugs me.

I hug him back and smiling happily. We then pull our body away and dad comes to me and hugs me. "I'm so proud of you. New York needs people like you." Dad kisses my head and smiles at me.

"Wow that's another wonderful news. Congratulations, Kate." Mr. Schue smiles at me.

"You know what, Schue? I'm really proud of my children. Cancer's gone and I have more time to see them getting married, having grandbabies and spend my old honeymoon with Carole. These are amazing." Dad smiles at us.

The bell rings.

Mr. Schue and dad smiling at me then walk out from the choir room. I'm still standing in front of them and smiling happily and put my hand around Kurt's waist as he is standing next to me.

"This is still like a dream." I chuckle.

"I'm so proud of you, baby." Jake hugs me and give me a quick kiss on my lips.

"Well, you dont need to impress Carmen Tibideaux to get into NYADA." Artie chuckles.

"Well, we are going to New York." I said excitedly.

"Hold up, hold up, I havent get my acceptance letter from NYADA and I even have my audition yet." Blaine says to me. "But I'm so happy for you. If this is gonna happen to anyone else I would be totally jealous. FIT is like the best and most famous fashion institute in US and one of our friend get into that." Blaine smiles at me.

"Thank you guys so much. This is really amazing!" I said happily at them.

~~~~

I'm still cant believe that I got to FIT. It's still like a dreaming for me. But it's not a dream anymore. I will go to New York, live my dream and have a bright future. I really get passion for regionals next week then.

"Look at this little girl, cant stop smiling after she got her acceptance letter." Dad chuckles and put his hand around my shoulder as I walk downstairs.

"It's like a dream for me." I giggle.

"It is, honey. Because it's your dream and when you get that and make that dream come true. It feels like that." Carole says to me.

"I cant wait to live in New York." I said excitedly and sit down in the dining table.

"It's two months left." Kurt simply said and rolls his eyes.

"Dont be jealous." I said to him.

"I'm not. I should record it when you become a desperate women last night." Kurt rolls his eyes.

"Whatever. I will live in New York and get an apartment in downtown then..."

"No." Dad cut me off.

"Excuse me, dad?" I raise my eyebrows at him.

"You stay with your brother in Bushwick. It's not about I cant afford your rent. I can afford that but I wont let you live alone there. So live in Bushwick with Kurt will be the best choice. Bushwick with Kurt or no New York." Dad says to me.

"But Bushwick is kinda far from FIT." I said to dad.

"Whatever you choose. You wanna live in downtown, sure. You can do that but you have to be in the same room with Kurt. I dont trust you to live alone." Dad says to me.

"Okay." I let out a sigh and eat my food.

Yeah since I'm the youngest one in this house so my dad didnt trust me in everything I did. Especially living away from him alone. He wont let me go like that. I guess if he wasnt married to Carole, he might be want to follow Kurt and I to New York.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I shut my locker and Jake is standing next to my locker and smirks at me. "How many times I told you to not standing like that and shock me?" I raise my eyebrows at Jake.

"I miss you and I just want to tell you that Mercedes wanted me to be one of her back up dancer for her music video along with Mike." Jake smiles at me.

"You kidding me?" I chuckle.

"Babe, did I ever lie to you huh?"

"Oh my God! Then what do you say?" I ask excitedly at him.

"I said yes. She said that I have inner talent and that's really amazing. I'm so happy with this." Jake smiles at me.

"I'm so proud of you." I smile happily and hug him.

"I'm more proud of you. You are the most amazing woman in this world and since I have my inner talent so we should break up." Jake simply said.

"You're crazy, Puckerman." I cross my hands on my chest.

"Just kidding. I wont break up with you. Clearly, because of you, I feel like I'm awesome and brave enough to speak up even show of my talent. So as a thank you for you. I want to take you to Breadstix tonight." Jake grins at me and holds my hand.

"Sure. That would be great." I nodded and start walking in the hallways with Jake.

Sam's POV

"So it has to be special." Blaine simply said.

I keep looking at Kate and Jake who talking to each other and giggling at each other. I should be who standing there not Jake. Ugh this is too late.

"Sam?" Blaine waves his hand in front of my face.

"What's up, dude?" I raise my eyebrows at Blaine.

"You cant stop starring at Kate and Jake." Blaine simply said. "Hey wanna buy something to her as her congratulation gift?"

"I already send thousand roses to her house actually. You're late." I simply said.

"Go get your girl, man. Shall I help you to tell her the truth?"

"No. Dont." I shake my head. "Just let ot be. There will be a time when she is gonna crying at me." I said to Blaine.

"Alright then just dont ever give up." Blaine says to me and shut his locker then walk away.

"I wont, dude." I mumbled and start walking.
