Author's Note: I really wanted to right a story about my three favorite Warblers (or ex-Warblers) so... I did! It's not my best work but the next chapter will explain a lot and will also fix Aurora's slight Mary Sue-ness. Nick, Jeff, and Blaine meet Aurora and one of them ends up falling madly in love with her. It's probably been done a lot but I couldn't resist. If you feel the need to critique my writing, please do it nicely. I actually ask you give me feedback on what I could improve!


Aurora Kinks sat in Westerville Coffee sipping her hot mocha and typing her philosophy report rapidly. She set the cup down and proof read her essay while a pair of boys dressed in Dalton uniforms slide in the booth seating next to her. She sipped her coffee again and glanced at the boys again. One was blonde and the other brunette, and they were both exceptionally cute.

"Hi!" the blonde one exclaimed at Aurora.

"Uhm, hi?" Aurora replied saving her report and shutting her laptop.

"I'm Jeff-" "I'm Nick!" Jeff spoke first then Nick decided to cut in making Aurora laugh.

"I'm Aurora," Aurora replied smiling.

Aurora shifted so her body was turned towards Nick and Jeff, and crossed her legs. The two boys were grinning from ear to ear making Aurora happier.

"What brings you around here, Aurora?" Nick asked nervously.

"I used to go to Crawford but tuition is steep. I transferred to McKinley but... I prefer Westerville over Lima," Aurora replied.

"Oh, so you know Blaine?" Jeff cut in biting his lip.

"Yeah! Actually, I'm pretty good friends with him. With all the drama I can hardly see straight and Blaine is a breath of fresh air," Aurora told him softly.

"So I've heard..." Nick muttered.

"Anyways, you don't like McKinley?" Jeff asked elbowing Nick in the ribs when Nick looked bitterly out the window.

"Not really. Everyone is overly dramatic and they don't appreciate intelligence..." Aurora murmured looking up at Nick and Jeff through her eyelashes.

"Sounds like you really don't like it there," Nick replied bracing his hand on his thigh.

"I don't..." Aurora muttered locking her eyes with Nick's.


3 Months Later

Nick was sitting at his desk doing homework, when he felt his best friend jump on him. Nick groaned at Jeff's weight on top of him and shoved Jeff off. They laughed and Nick shot up when his phone rang. He looked at the screen and it read, 'Aurora'.

"Hey!" Nick said standing up and brushing his pajama pants off.

"Nick?" Aurora's voice was strangled with tears alarming Nick.

"Yeah, Ror. What's wrong?" Nick asked softly.

"Can I come over? I need to get out of Lima... I need you and Jeff," Aurora murmured.

"Yeah, of course. What's wrong?" Nick asked quietly.

"I-I'll tell you when I get there..." Aurora hung up making Nick worry.

Nick set his phone down, "Aurora is really upset... She'll be over in a few..."

"What's wrong?" Jeff asked snapping his head up.

"I dunno... She wanted to tell us when she got here," Nick replied sitting on his bed and bouncing his leg.

Jeff and Nick sat on their beds waiting for her knock for an hour and than it finally came. Nick opened the dorm door to a sobbing Aurora and he enveloped her in his arms. He pulled her in the room while Jeff closed the door.

"Ror, what's wrong? Who made you cry?" Nick demanded as the three sat on Nick's bed.

Nick held his friend against his chest while Jeff rubbed her back, "Come on, Ror."

"No one likes me at McKinley..." Aurora murmured softly.

"Why do you say that?" Jeff asked cupping her chin.

"Some Santana girl started a rumor that I was pregnant and Finn hates me because Blaine is a close friend of mine. I can't handle it," Aurora whispered.

"Someone started a rumor that you're pregnant?" Nick demanded.

"Yeah. Now the entire school thinks I'm pregnant except Blaine and Kurt." Nick could tell that wasn't the whole reason; he knew Aurora wouldn't sob over a rumor.

"What's the big reason you're crying, Aurora?" Nick sighed.

"What?" Aurora asked puzzled.

"Tell us why you're really crying," Jeff cut in helping nick.

Aurora started crying harder, "I-I got kicked out..."

"What? Why?" Nick asked softly.

"My dad is a drunk and he hit me... So, I fought back and he called me some names and kicked me out," Aurora told the pair of boys.

"Aurora... Oh..." Jeff murmured as Wes came into check their room.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Guys, you can't have a girl in here! Let alone after hours!" Wes exclaimed watching Nick's protective hold on her.

"Wes, I know. Please let her stay here for tonight! It's a Friday!" Jeff begged.

"No! Rules are rules!" Wes exclaimed making Nick get up and stand face to face with him.

"Wes, please. She got kicked out. Tomorrow I'll take her to my mom's where we'll figure it out but please," Nick pleaded.

"Okay, fine. ONLY this once." Wes stalked out of their room and Nick locked the door.

Jeff got up, "I need a shower." Jeff went into the bathroom locking the door.

Aurora rubbed her arms making Nick wrap his around her, "Cold?"

"Yeah," Aurora replied settling into Nick's arms.

"Uhm, do you need something to sleep in? Sleeping in your skin tight jeans and plaid shirt can't be comfy!" Nick asked her smiling.

"If you have anything," Aurora replied making Nick get up and look in his drawers.

He tossed a pair of sweatpants at her and a tee shirt, and than exited into the hallway to let her change. She changed and opened the door for Nick to come back in. She stood in the middle of the room biting her lip, "Nick?"

"Yeah?" Nick asking pulling her to his bed.

"What am I gonna do?" Aurora asked settling against Nick.

"Well, either Jeff's mom or mine will help us out tomorrow and hopefully fix this for you. But I dunno from there, Ror," Nick replied softly.

Aurora nodded, "Thank you, Nick."

"No problem." Nick looked down at her pale freckled face, her blonde hair, and green eyes and felt compelled to kiss her. He didn't know why but he did. He pressed his lips to hers and braced a hand behind her back. She placed her hand on his neck and Nick deepened the kiss.

Aurora broke away, "What happened?"

"We kissed..." Nick replied stunned.

"Uhm..." Aurora bit her lip and Nick rested a hand on her face.

"I really like you," Nick offered.

"I-I.." Aurora bit her lip and rushed out into the hall.

Nick looked puzzled and followed her out into the hallway, "Aurora, what's wrong?"

"I-I can't, Nick. Not right now... I can't get hurt... You know I love you but I can't be a in relationship with you right now... I'm gonna call Blaine..." Aurora stuttered.

Nick nodded but made her come back in the room, "Why don't you have Blaine come here?"

"I need some time alone with him for once... Kurt is always hovering thinking I'm gonna like... Turn him straight or something," Aurora said shaking her head.

Nick nodded and let her call Blaine. He sighed and sat on his bed while she talked with Blaine realizing he blew it.

"Blaine is gonna pick me up in ten; he was at the coffeehouse... Nick, thank you..." Nick nodded and hugged her whispering, "Can we talk about this tomorrow?"

"Yeah, of course," Aurora replied exiting the dorm to find Blaine.

She found him and he enveloped her in his arms, "Now, what's wrong?"

"McKinley and Nick..." Aurora replied into Blaine's neck.

"Wait. What? What happened with Nick? Lets get into my car and to... I dunno. Somewhere. Lets go to whatever restaurant we find first," Blaine suggested guiding her to his car.

They climbed in his car and drove to The Happy Street, a popular Westerville hangout, and went inside. They were seated in a booth where Blaine further grilled Aurora.

"What happened with Nick?" Blaine asked Aurora.

"He k-kissed me," Aurora told Blaine making him nearly choke on the coke he was given.

"Uhm, he did? Wait, this is problem?" Blaine asked making Aurora bite her lip.

"Yeah, he did. I dunno, Blaine. I like him but I've been hurt before... What do you think?" Aurora asked sipping her coke.

"I think you could use someone like Nick in your life right now," Blaine replied.

"Me too but I'm scared," Aurora told him softly.

"Of?"

"Falling in love with him."

"Want some advice on falling in love?"

"Please."

"You have to jump in with both feet. You have to trust that person with your entire heart and you have to put up with their upsetting qualities."

"Blaine..."

"I know, Rora. I know. Now, is it the same ol', same ol' with McKinley?"

"Yeah... Everyone thinks I'm pregnant."

"I know. It'll be okay, Aurora."

Blaine laid his hand out on the table silently asking for hers. She put her hand in his as she decided to tell him about being kicked out, "So, you know all about my dad..."

"Did he lay a hand on you?" Blaine's voice turned to ice.

"Yes..."

"Where?"

"My ribs..."

"Aurora! Why would you let him do that?"

"Blaine, you know I couldn't! I fought back, he called me some nasty names, and kicked me out."

"I'll take you back to my house, Ror. Then we'll figure it out from there."
