Chapter 1 – how did I not notice you?
Rachel was sat in the brightly lit choir room, she was waiting for people to walk in, she was always early for glee practice, but this day she was about to relive a terrible memory, she just didn't realize it yet. The sun was shining and she was sat doodling in her pink notebook, she had her usual outfit on. She had one of her famous Animal sweaters on (this time with an owl on) her short cotton plaid skirt on, her brightly colored tights on (Yellow today) and her usual black pumps. She felt better today as nobody slushed her. Usually she would have had to change her outfits 3 times a day!
Blaine was walking down the corridors in his usual red and white checked shirt (school spirit and everything), his brown jeans, yellow sunglasses attached to his jeans, his pink checked bow tie (because he wanted to attract the attention of a certain brunette), and his brown working boots at the school he attended. William McKinley high school when he looked into the choir room. He saw Rachel sat on her own with a sad expression on her face; he might have been staring at her for too long because she looked up at him.
"Blaine, why are you staring at me? Have I got something on my face?" she started to panic and ran her hand over her face
Blaine walked into the room and sat down next to her "no I, I just wanted to see if you were okay, you looked sad"
Rachel looked at him properly then, wondering if she should tell him the truth or lie to him. She decided to go for the truth. "Me and Finn broke up again" she looked down "he said I didn't love him enough to be his girlfriend. I mean how pathetic can he get! What a way to break up with a girl!" Rachel started to cry.
Blaine did what he does best, he pulled Rachel into a hug and rubbed her back, trying to ignore the way she fits perfectly into his arms, and the way his heart skips a beat when he feels her breath on his neck. He realized he couldn't ignore the feelings and thought to himself 'I am in love with Rachel Berry….Crap'
Rachel felt Blaine pull her into a hug and she felt the way she fitted into his arms perfectly, she gripped onto his shirt and pulled herself closer to him, she breathed in the scent of his skin as she breathed out she felt him shiver slightly and partly moan to the fact that her breath tickled against his neck.
She thought 'crap, I am in love with Blaine Anderson…and I don't care!' she pulled out of the hug, immediately missing his touch. She saw Blaine looking at her lips, he looked up at her and raised an eyebrow asking for permission to kiss her, she licked her lips and nodded, wrapping her arm around his neck, and closed her eyes.
Blaine smiled as she closed her eyes, he placed a hand on her lower back, and closing his eyes he leaned forward and gently placed his lips against hers. He felt her smile into the kiss and deepen it. He wanted to go further (and by the way that she was leaning into him like she needed him to support her) he could tell she did too, but they heard someone clear their throat behind them and they jumped apart from each other looking to see who interrupted them.
Finn was stood at the entrance to the choir room; he stood there with his mouth open in shock at what he just saw, he wanted to apologies to Rachel for breaking up with her, but he didn't have the heart to talk to her, he just stood there, with tears in his eyes, he walked out, kicking a chair as he went.
Rachel and Blaine looked at each other and then quickly looked away "I have to go" they both said at the same time, they got up and left as the rest of the glee club walked in, including Finn. Rachel and Blaine couldn't even look at him, they couldn't even look at each other, and they left the choir room and walked in opposite directions.
(TIME SKIP)
It has been a week since Rachel and Blaine's kiss in the choir room; then have been ignoring each other, even in the classes they share together and glee club has been quiet with Rachel and Blaine sat on opposite sides of the choir room. On this particular day Rachel raised her hand, she hasn't sang in Glee since that kiss. "Mr Schue, I have a song I want to sing" he nodded and Rachel walked towards the front and whispered a song to brad "this is, the story of us"
(Bold- Rachel Italics- Blaine underlined- both)
I used to think one day we'd tell the story of us,
how we met and the sparks flew instantly,
People would say, "They're the lucky ones."
I used to know my place was a spot next to you,
Now I'm searching the room for an empty seat,
'Cause lately I don't even know what page you're on.
Oh, a simple complication,
Miscommunications lead to fall-out.
So many things that I wish you knew,
so many walls that I can't break through.
Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room and we're not speaking,
And I'm dying to know is it killing you like it's killing me, yeah?
I don't know what to say, since the twist of fate when it all broke down,
and the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now.
Next chapter.
How'd we end up this way?
See me nervously pulling at my clothes and trying to look busy,
And you're doing your best to avoid me.
I'm starting to think one day I'll tell the story of us,
How I was losing my mind when I saw you here,
But you held your pride like you should've held me.
Rachel smiled at Blaine as he stood up and walked in front of her, he knew she was singing to him and she was thankful for that
Oh, I'm scared to see the ending,
Why are we pretending this is nothing?
I'd tell you I miss you but I don't know how,
I've never heard silence quite this loud.
Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room and we're not speaking,
And I'm dying to know is it killing you like it's killing me, yeah?
I don't know what to say, since the twist of fate when it all broke down,
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now.
This is looking like a contest,
Of who can act like they care less,
But I liked it better when you were on my side.
The battle's in your hands now, But I would lay my armor down
If you said you'd rather love than fight.
So many things that you wished I knew,
But the story of us might be ending soon.
Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room and we're not speaking, The end.
And I'm dying to know is it killing you like it's killing me, yeah?
I don't know what to say, since the twist of fate when it all broke down,
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now, now, now.
And we're not speaking,
And I'm dying to know is it killing you like it's killing me, yeah?
I don't know what to say, since the twist of fate 'cause we're going down,
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now.
Everyone was taken back when t the end of the song not only were Rachel and Blaine standing extremely close to each other, they kissed, their second kiss. They hadn't kissed, touched, talked for the whole week and they were nearly killing themselves, they hated being apart. When they broke off everyone was in shock. Everyone that is except Finn. He just stared at them. The next six words Blaine said to Rachel shocked everyone, everyone that is except Rachel, because she felt exactly the same way. Blaine said "I am in love with you"
