Many people had let Kurt Hummel down during the years, but that did not bother him much. If they had to hurt someone in order to feel good about themselves, people were pathetic indeed.
For instance, there was that time when he had asked his father for a pair of sensible heels for his birthday, and uncle Jim had tried to taunt him for it. Pathetic exhibit number one.
Then that time when uncle Jim had ranted on and on about how disgusting gays were. He had probably not known that he was insulting Kurt, but it was still worth a place as pathetic exhibit number two.
And the time when he had first been thrown into that horrible dumpster. That had been a new jacket. From that point, he always demanded that he was to be allowed to take his coats off. Pathetic exhibit number three.
Then the time he had first been slushied. Oh, how he hated grape now. Pathetic exhibit number four.
Getting on the football team had not been all that hard or horrible, but when he had asked Finn to help him and Finn had immediately concluded that Kurt wanted to ask him to the prom, because that was obviously important to gays. He did want to ask Finn, but now that was completely out of the picture.
Quinn had not really done anything to intentionally hurt him, but getting knocked up with Finn's baby was definitely bad enough.
To sing Defying Gravity was a dream to him, and it also ended like a dream. In the end, he loved his dad more than he loved singing, but only barely.
That time when he had told Finn that he would sing him "I honestly love you", and Finn did not understand had hurt quite a bit.
Who did Rachel think that she was, saying she had an advantage by being a girl. She looked like a toddler dressed in a grandmother's dress. Ugh, and those eyebrows. Pathetic exhibit number five. And fashion don't number one, too.
The fact that Finn would probably choose Rachel now that he had broken up with Quinn hurt more than Kurt had thought it would. She did not deserve him one bit. She was ugly, for heavens sake. And had a very ugly personality to go with it.
Yes, Kurt Hummel had been let down and hurt a lot of times, some he was sure that he had managed to erase from his memory. But the truth was that he had never felt so angry before as he did at the moment, when he found himself screaming at Rachel in the auditorium. How dared she. She did not deserve him. No one really deserved Finn, he was too wonderful for that. But at least Kurt deserved him more than the crazy girl. Heck, even Quinn deserved him more, and she had ended up cheating on him with his very best friend.
There were also times when Kurt Hummel had not been hurt. Like those times when he found the perfect deals on wonderful clothes or shoes, or the time when his mother actually did get him those sensible heels.
Or the time when Finn had buggered Puckerman about pushing Kurt into the lockers. That had been very sweet, and love at first sight.
Then there was that time when he first bonded with Mercedes. She was frightening at times, but she was a great friend.
Also, there was that time when Quinn had been nice to him about a makeover.
And then Finn had helped him on the football team, and he had ended up winning the game for them. God bless Beyonce and her fantastic dance-routines.
The time when he came out to his dad, and he just accepted him had been wonderful. He had been panicking about that very moment since he had been five years old.
Having Finn ask him over for a fashion urgency had been nice, even if the event which he was dressing for was nothing Kurt himself much liked.
Hitting that high F had done wonders for his self-esteem.
And winning sectionals! Oh wow, there was nothing that could beat that.
Yes, Kurt Hummel had been given many happy times in his life too. Yet the happiest time of all in his own opinion, was that afternoon after his fight with Rachel.
He had been the drama queen and rushed home, nearly running over his dad in the stairs. And he felt so betrayed and hurt, that those happy moments of his life seemed to shy away from him.
However, fate honestly seemed to be on his side for once, and not on the opposite. Because as it turned out, Finn had overheard their fight. And he had gone after Kurt, not Rachel.
And when Finn kissed him and told him that he did indeed love him back, he decided that this was way better than winning sectionals. And quite suddenly, the good exceeded the bad. Because he had finally gotten his true love.
