Chapter 37

I'm standing in front of my locker. I turn my face and I see Jake walk down in the hallways and hold his ransel until Bree and the other cheerios walk passed him and smirk at him. Even Bree standing for a while in front of Jake. And Jake smirk back at them.

I roll my eyes and turn my face to my locker. I guess what Santana said was right. Puckerman will always be a Puckerman. No differences.

"Hey, beautiful." Jake put his hand around my waist and kiss my cheek.

I didnt say anything and shut my locker and walk away. Ugh I hate this. I'm jealous but I cant say it to him.

"Hey, hey, what's my fault this time?" Jake blocks my way.

"You smirked at those cheerios and Bree. And you know that I dont like them." I simply said.

"Okay, I'm sorry. But baby, it's only a smirk." Jake holds my hand. "Forgive me please? You know that I love you okay?"

"Last chance." I simply said.

"Thank you." Jake smiles at me and put his hand around my shoulder and kisses my head.

I put my hand around his waist as we both start walking in the hallways together. "I hate to tell you this but after school, I cant come to your dance school." I said to him.

"Why?" Jake asks me.

"Because I have to go to costume shop to buy costume for prom performance with Blaine and Tina. You wanna come?" I raise my eyebrows at him.

"Babe, I have my dance class." Jake says to me.

"I know that." I nodded.

"That's okay. At least I know who you went out with." Jake rubs my hair.

"I love you." I smile at him.

"I love you too." Jake smiles back at me and give me a quick kiss on my lips.

We both keep walking in the hallways then turn our way to the choir room. I'm sitting down on the front row and Jake is sitting down behind me until Mr. Schue walks in.

"Come on, guys. We're back with the Beatles. We're leaving the mop-tops behind and moving into their experimental years. Now the Rubber Soul album marked a turning point for the group where they literally and figuratively let their hair down. Now the Beatles were the biggest musical act in the world. They could've remained in their comfort zones but instead they risked everything to explore new musical worlds. They had something important to say and they weren't gonna let something as silly as the fear of failure get in their way." Mr. Schue says to us.

"Good afternoon, McKinley High. This year all the proms are being fused into one giant brundle-prom." The sound from the speaker.

"What's a brundle-prom?" I frown.

"I don't get that reference." Jake shakes his head.

"That's from The Fly." Ryder simply said.

"And now for the moment that will crush 99% of your misguided views about your own popularity here are your nominees for prom king and queen. First here are your nominees for prom king. Blaine Anderson- Muhammad Omar - Artie Abrams- And Stoner Brett Bukowski."

"Wait, I really didn't get nominated for king?" Sam frowns.

"And now on to the queens. Kate Hummel - Amy Ryan, Jordan Stern and, inexplicably Tina Cohen-Chang. Congratulations.Six of you will be disappointed."

"Yeah! Yes!" Tina says happily and walks to the front and dancing happily.

"Tina, wow! Even though I'm not nominated, it's such an honor to be going to prom with a potential queen." Sam says to Tina.

"Oh. Sorry, Sam. It was so nice of you to offer to go with me, but I'm gonna have to decline your invitation." Tina says to Sam.

"But you already accepted." Sam frowns.

"Yeah. Tina, this is very uncool." Artie says to Tina.

"Losing is uncool. I need to maximize my odds of taking the crown so I think I'm gonna go with a group of single gals to corner the dejected wallflower vote and I am going for it. This is my chance to be bigger than Jesus. So can I count on all your votes?" Tina grins at us.

"Awkward." Unique mumbled.

"You got mine. I wont campaign myself for that. I'm to busy with handling the prom itself. It's your time." I said to Tina.

"I agree. Hit it." Tina points to the band and start singing as the music begin.

The bell rings.

"Later." Jake takes my hand and walk lead me from the choir room.

"That was rude." I said to Jake.

"I cant believe that you dont wanna campaign to be prom queen." Jake says to me.

"I dont want to. Sophomore year, I got that one." I said to Jake.

"Besides being prom queen or not, you already the queen of my heart." Jake smirks at me.

"Cheesy." I chuckle.

"I'll see you after school." Jake smiles at me and kisses my cheek then walk away.

I wave him a goodbye and turn my way to my classroom before school is over and then Blaine and I can hangin out and go to the mall.

Sam's POV

I went out from the field after having football. I turn my way to boys locker room but I suddenly saw something in the hallways.

Jake and Bree are standing near the locker rack and seems like they both smirking at each other. No. This is cant be happening. He has a girlfriend.

Bree smirks at Jake then walk away. I hide my body so they cant see me. I know that. There is something wrong between them.

But how the hell I can tell Kate? It will hurt her and make her cry. But lying like this will make her more hurt.

I should tell Kate but I dont have any prove and she must be dont trust me. This is really bad. Everyone was right. Puckerman will always be a Puckerman. Tiger cant change his stripe. I'm might be dumb but I never cheat on.

I should tell this to Blaine. And find more evidence. I'm afraid that Kate will get hurt because I dont wanna see her cry anymore. But what Jake did was really hurting. He was kind of cheating and it was unacceptable.

Well, my fist is ready beat someone face if they hurt Kate. I wont let anyone else to make her cry or anything. I'm working so hard to make her happy and I wont let anyone else hurt her.

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

Kate's POV

I'm walking down in the hallways and Tina's campaign poster are on the wall. There are many and I already decided that I wont campaign myself for this and I dont care with that.

I keep walking in the hallways until Bree and her cheerios friend walk passed me and smirk at me. I roll my eyes and turn my way.

I already prepare the best dress for me. I already prepare everything for the prom include the prom decoration. And I'm busy with working on that.

I open my locker and put my binder inside my locker. "Kate, you still dating with Jake right?" Sam asks me.

"Why are you asking me that?" I frown at him.

"Just asking." Sam simply said.

"Sam, what happen?" I frown at him.

"Nothing happen." Sam simply said and walk away.

I frown and turn my face at my locker. What happen this time? Why Sam asking me that? That's so strange. I just hope that nothing happen between Jake or something.

I shut my locker and turn my way to the gymnasium for preparing for the prom in two days. I walk enter the gymnasium and looking at the decoration for prom.

I keep walking and checking out stage for the performance. I heard someone is chuckling behind the curtain of the stage. Ugh who wanna ruin my prom this year? I roll my eyes and walk to behind the stage and gasped when I see something.

"Jake?"

"Babe, I-I..."

"Nothing to explain!" I yelled and walk away.

Tears fall down to my face. I just saw my boyfriend cheated on me with that slut cheerios. I saw them making out behind the stage for the prom that I prepare so hard. This is really hurt me. Now I know why Sam asked me that.

"Hey, I can explain." Jake catches my hand and make me turn around.

"Explain with this!" I slap his face and crying. "How can you do that to me? I never cheat on you! But what you have done? You said that you are not Puck. You said that you are different than him but what you've done?" I'm crying.

"What am I supposed to do? I dont feel like I have a girlfriend. Do you have time for me? Everytime I asked you to go out, you always said you have something to do! I feel like I dont have a girlfriend!" Jake yelled at me.

"So you fill your time by cheating on me with her? I'm done with you!" I push his body away and walk away.

I turn around and run in the hallways with tears still fall down to my face. I cant believe what Jake did to me. This is crazy. Why my relationship always ended up with cheating? Why always been cheated on? I'm so stupid.

"Kate, you okay?" Sam blocks my way and frowns at me.

I just shake my head and still crying then run away. I just wanna be alone right now. I had my rough week because of Finn's dying and now I get another rough week again and this time, it's really hurt me.

Sam's POV

"Kate, you okay?" I frown and stop Kate.

Kate just shakes her head and still crying then run away. I know that something must be wrong. Did she already know about the things between Jake and Bree? Oh damn.

"Sam, we have to check out the gymnasium for prom." Blaine blocks my way.

"Not now. I have to get someone else." I turn my way and start running in the hallways.

I saw Jake is standing in front of his locker. I push his body and make him fall to the ground. Like I said before. I wont let anyone else hurt her. Whoever hurt her, will get into my fist.

"Dude, lay off!" Jake yelled and pushes my body away.

"Dont tell me that you cheated on her with that cheerios slut!" I yelled and beat him.

"Okay those none of your business!" Jake beat me up again.

I take his collar shirt and beat him up again and again. "That's my business. You hurt her! And I wont let anyone else hurt her!" I yelled at him.

"Hey, break it off!" Coach Beiste yelled and hold my body.

"What's your problem huh?" Jake shouts and trying to beat me.

I'm trying to leave coach Beiste's hand but she hold me really tight. "Just stay away from my future wife! I let you date her but I wont let anyone hurt her!!" I yelled.

"Enough, Sam!" Coach Beiste yelled at me.

I just being quiet and let out a sigh. The crowded gone away and Jake take his ransel and walk away. I said that before. I wont let anyone else hurt Kate.

"You okay? Why you do that?" Blaine frowns at me.

"He cheated on Kate with Bree. I already knew that since two days ago but I though it was only talking. But I saw Kate ran away in hallways and crying out loud." I said to Blaine and hold my fist.

"Why you didnt tell me?" Blaine asks me.

"Because I dont have any evidence to beat him okay but now I have it and I promise to myself that whoever hurt her, they will get into my fist." I said to Blaine. "I-I let him date her. But what he has done? He cheated on her. He cheated on someone who loves him unconditionally. That's really stupid and unacceptable."

"You sound like someone who really loves her." Blaine chuckles.

"I do." I simply said. "I've been working hard to make her happy and I cant accept that if someone just came and hurt her okay. I know her so bad. Even better than anyone else. Even better than herself. She is my everything, dude. And I wont let anyone hurt her. No one." I shake my head.

"I know that." Blaine smiles at me and nodded. "Maybe we can go to her house and make her feel better?" Blaine raises his eyebrows at me.

"Will you let me go there alone? Please only this time." I said to Blaine.

"Go get your girl back, man." Blaine nodded.

"Thanks, buddy." I nodded.

I will get Kate back. She will always be mine. I know after this she might be trauma with relationship but I know that she is gonna be mine and will always be mine.

~~~~

I went out from my car and walk to Kate's house door. I brough chocolate and ice cream from Ranchmarket to make her feel better. These are her favorite one.

I'm standing in front of the door and press the bell. Waiting for someone to come out and I hope it will be Kate.

"Hey, I was about to call you or Blaine actually." Burt open the door and let me in.

"What's wrong?" I ask him.

"I dont know what happened. She just locked herself in her room since she went back home. Carole and I tried to talk to her but she doesnt wanna talk." Burt says to me.

"She broke up with Jake. He cheated on her." I let out a sigh.

"Just go talk to her. Maybe she wanna listen to you." Burt says to me and points to the upstairs.

I let out a sigh and nodded and walk upstairs. I walk to Kate's room and she close her door. I knock the door and press the knob and open the door slowly.

"Hey, it's me." I said to her.

She just sitting down on her bed with her back against the wall and hold her teddy bear wit tears still fall down from her beautiful eyes.

"You okay?" I raise my eyebrows at her. "I brough you chocolate and ice cream." I smile at her and sit down on the edge of her bed.

"Sam..."

Kate suddenly hugs me and crying out loud. I hug her back and rub her back and her hair while she is still crying out loud in my hug.

"Ssshh stop it. I'm here. That guy doesnt deserve your tears." I said to her.

"I just dont understand why my relationship always ended up with cheating?" Kate pushes my body away and asks me.

"I dont know why." I shrug.

"He said that I've been busy and have no time for him and he cheated." Kate sighs.

"Just because you dont have time, doesnt mean he can cheat." I said to her and wipe her tears away.

"I'm become single again." Kate groans and whimpered.

"Haha I've been single since junior year." I chuckle.

"You're desperate in love." Kate simply said.

"Feeling better now?" I ask her.

"A bit better. I'm done with relationship. No more shitty relationship. No more guy. That's it." Kate wipe her tears away.

"So no relationship for now?" I ask her.

"No." Kate shakes her head. "I'm done with guy. I wanna be lesbian again." Kate simply said.

I chuckle and shake my head. "We can go back to being friends with benefits again." I smirk at her.

"Sex and make out is all you think." Kate rolls her eyes.

"Just kidding. Here I brough you this." I said to her and show her the chocolate and ice cream.

"What happen with your fist?" Kate frowns at me and hold my hand.

"I...beated Jake." I said nervously.

"What?" Kate frowns.

"I got to be honest that two days ago, after football practice, I saw Jake and Bree in the hallways alone. I though they were talking so that's why this morning I asked you that. But then when I saw you cried in the hallways, I knew something. He really cheated on you with that slut. So I beated him." I said to her.

"You do that for me?" Kate asks me.

"Yes. You're my bestfriend and I already warned you at first right?" I frown at her.

"I'm sorry, Sam. I was kind of blind with love but now. I'm done with that." Kate says to me. "And thank you." Kate smiles at me.

"Give me a gift." I smirk at her.

"Do you want me to beat you?" Kate simply ask.

"No." I shake my head. "Do you really dont wanna be a relationship?" I ask her.

"Nope. No more guy. No more love. I'm going to be a lesbian by start dating Tina." Kate simply said and stand up from her seat. I turn around and she take first aid box from her closet. "Look at to your puppy, he loves sleeping under my feather coat collection." Kate says to me and sit down in front of me.

"We should bring him to New York." I said to her.

"Yeah we should." Kate nodded and takes my hand.

She hold my hand and clear my fist from the swollen. She is going back to be mine. No one else. Only mine. She might be dont wanna be in a relationship but I know that soon or later her heart will down for me.

~~~~

"I'm home." I walk into my house and place my key to the key box.

After that I walk to the living room and mom and dad are sitting down on the sofa and holding an envelope. I raise my eyebrows and sit down in front of them.

"What is that?" I ask them.

"Your letter from The Cooper Union came this morning." Mom says to me and give me that envelope.

"But I never send my application letter. Not even to any other university." I frown at them.

"Just open that." Dad says to me.

I open that envelope and read the letter carefully. I frown and turn my face to my parents as they both smiling at me. I got into The Cooper Union School of The Arts and full scholarship there.

"You've got to be kidding me." I make an impression.

"Congratulations, honey." Mom smiles at me and hug me.

"You did it, buddy." Dad hugs me and rubs my hair. "You are going to New York." Dad says to me.

"Wait, but I never send my application letter to them." I said to them.

"Your girlfriend did." Mom says to me.

"My girlfriend? I dont even have any girlfriend." I chuckle.

"Oh I though Kate is your girlfriend." Dad simply said.

"Kate did?" I raise my eyebrows.

"Yes. She went here and asked us for your document also our signs for many letters and that one the first one which came." Mom says to me.

I just being quiet and reading that letter again. I'm feeling happy inside. I cant believe that Kate wanna did this to me. I mean I feel like I'm really special in her eyes. And I know I am.

"Sam?" Dad called me.

"I swear I'm gonna marry that girl." I said to them.

"What?" Mom chuckles.

"No. I'm serious." I said to them.

"But you're in high school. Even though graduation is coming over but still you are high school student. Maybe after graduate from high school, you can choose your own path and I wont stop you for that." Dad frowns at me.

"I know that, dad. I know. I also wont propose her right now and it's crazy to propose someone when you both arent dating. But I love her. I really do. And I want to spend my life with her and her father totally support me for that. So I wont give up." I grin at them.

"We'll support all your choice too." Mom smiles at me.

"Thanks, guys." I smile back at them.

I dont know why. Today I feel so happy. Kate broke up with Jake then I'm proud because I'm the only one who can make her smile and laugh. Then I got into The Cooper Union which is amazing. And again, it was because of her and I guess that my love for her is growing bigger and bigger now. Kate Hummel is back to become one and only Sam Evans's true love.

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

Kate's POV

Tonight is prom night and I guess I'm not going. I dont want to go. I dont wanna meet Jake. I dont wanna see him or talk to him. So I'd rather to stay at home. Talking with McConaughey and doing homework. That's better.

My phone can stop vibrating. Sam and Blaine cant stop calling me. I know they must be want to force me to come but sorry not sorry. I wont come even though I'm nominated as prom queen.

"How long you wanna lay down there and not getting ready?"

I turn my face. Blaine and Sam are standing in front of my door and raise their eyebrows at me. I let out a sigh and roll around in my bed.

"I dont wanna go and stop trying." I simply said.

"To being sad sack?" Blaine asks me.

"I'm not sad. I decided to be lesbian. That's it." I simply said.

"Kate, come on. You are nominated as prom queen." Sam says to me.

"I dont care with that, Sam." I simply said.

"This is your senior prom. This is your last prom in high school." Blaine says to me.

"Yes and I dont have any date."

"You got us. You have us. We are single prom dates. We can go there together or you can choose which one of us. Lady's choice." Blaine says to me.

"I dont want to do. Just leave me alone with McConaughey and cheetos please." I said to them.

"No. You should go. You have to show them that you are strong woman. And you will make Jake regret breaking up with you and cheated on you." Blaine says.

"Well, actually I dumped him." I simply said.

"You wanna go or I wont say thank you for what you did to me." Sam simply said to me.

"I didnt do anything to you." I roll my eyes.

"Oh yeah? A letter from The Cooper Union came yesterday." Sam raises his eyebrows at me.

"And?" I ask excitedly.

"I got in!" Sam yelled happily.

"Yeay! You got in!" I yelled happily and jump in my bed.

"Wh-what? Congratulations, man!" Blaine says happily at Sam.

"Thank you. And now you get ready. I promise if you get bored there, we can leave earlier, and have dinner in Roaster Diner. Your choice. Come on." Sam says to me.

"Promise me?" I show my pinkies to them.

"We promised." Blaine nodded.

"Okay. Just wait downstairs. I'll come." I said to them and jump from my bed and walk to my walk-in closet.

Sam's POV

I walk out from Kate's room with Blaine behind me and close the door then turn our way to downstairs and waiting for Kate get ready.

"Why you never tell me that you send letter to Cooper Union?" Blaine asks me.

"I didnt send that. Kate did." I simply said.

"What?" Blaine frowns at me.

"My parents told me that she came to our house and asked them for their sign. I really love her, dude. And this time I wont let her go to another jerk again." I said to Blaine.

"Then tell her. This is prom. I will make you dance with her all night long okay." Blaine grins at me.

"Hey, she wanna go?" Burt asks us.

"Yes. Sam only said one sentence then she said yes and get ready now." Blaine chuckles.

"You really know how to persuade her, Sam." Burt says to me.

"And Sam is planning to tell her everything tonight." Blaine simply said and walks to the kitchen.

"Tell her what?" Carole asks us.

"That he is in love with your little princess." Blaine chuckles and take a glass of drink.

"You planned for that?" Burt asks me.

"I dont know." I sigh. "She told me that she doesnt wanna be a relationship anymore but considering herself to be a lesbian." I said to them.

"What?" Carole frowns.

"All her exes cheated on her. Puckerman, that guy in wheelchair, and now Puckerman again." Burt says to Carole.

"That's really bad." Carole shakes her head.

"But you wanna know the cheesy thing? Sam beated up Jake in the hallways after he found out he cheated on Kate." Blaine chuckles and points at my fist.

"Honey, that's really sweet." Carole smiles at me.

"But she is really innocent you know. She wouldnt understand. And I told my parents that I love her and they support me so maybe after graduation I will propose her." I grin at them.

"Oh I forgot, you were being so instropective when I told you I wanna propose Kurt. But now, you said that." Blaine raises his eyebrows at me.

"At the end I let you. Love is a love, man. That's it. I wont let those jerks get her again." I frown at Blaine.

"When two people love each other everything will work out." Burt says to me.

"Honey, you're so beautiful." Carole says.

I turn my face and Kate walks downstairs and smiling at us. She is so beautiful. I know that she is the most beautiful girl that I've ever seen.

"Thank you." Kate giggles. "Come on, I need my arm gays." Kate says to Blaine and I.

"I'm not gay." I simply said.

"You're least gay. You wanna go or not? Or I will back to my room and change my clothes into a pajama." Kate raises her eyebrows at me.

"Alright, Miss Universe." I roll my eyes and stand up from my seat.

"I'm glad you say that." Kate grins at me. "Bye you both. If I go back home late, blame them okay." Kate says to her parents and walk out from her house.

I turn around at Carole and Burt. "Tell her now or never." Burt says quietly at me.

I nodded and walk out from Kate's house and get into Blaine's car. Yes I'll probably tell the truth to Kate tonight. I will tell her tonight.
