A/N: Kurt and Blaine aren't together in this one… and never been together. Sebastian and Blaine are friends.

There are some flashbacks in the story and they will be like this. Flashback will mostly be written in chronological order.

Jake is a senior, just like Blaine and anyone else if that's not the case I'll say it…

You wouldn't believe it, but Jake Puckerman was nervous. He was waiting in the hallway, waiting until it was his turn to audition. Jake had always enjoyed singing and he really wanted to be a part of this group. Maybe it wasn't really like him to want something so much, but he really did want this.

What if he isn't good enough?

Or what if the others don't like him?

He didn't care about not being popular. He doesn't need to be friends with anyone, he just wants to sing. It was seriously the first time that Jake found himself nervous and really uncertain about himself. Normally he wouldn't care about stuff. If he fucks up a test, he doesn't care. If a girl doesn't want him, he doesn't care. But he really wants this.

And that's why he had prepared really well for it. Almost three nights had he sung in his room to make it perfect. And it really was perfect.

He can't wait for others to hear it.

Someone walked out of the doors and he knew it was time for him to go inside. He walked into the room and saw a few children sitting in the audience, together with the teacher.

"Hello sir, what's your name?"

"Jake" He answers and he sees someone writing it down.

"Got a last name Jake?" Yes, but that's none of your business.

"Uhm… just Jake"

Puckerman. Blaine thought. As soon as the boy walked into the auditorium he knew he looked familiar and when the boy said his name he was sure. That was Jake Puckerman.

Jake started to sing, but Blaine didn't hear anything. His breathing became faster and he started to shake. He couldn't believe that he would follow him. Blaine hasn't seen anyone from his old school, the school before Dalton. But here he is. The guy he was most afraid of. The boy who had beat him up during the school dance with his friends.

The boy who didn't do it, because Blaine's gay.

But because Jake was too scared to be confronted with a gay person.

Blaine never understood why. Of course he didn't. He was only like 15 years old when he saw him for the last time. He couldn't connect the dots, but now he does. The beating, the hate, the sad faces, the kiss. It all makes sense now. And he can't believe it didn't when he was younger.

"Hey Anderson! You really should go, the boys are looking for you and they seemed mad." When Blaine turned around he didn't expect to see Jake Puckerman behind him. Why would he warn him? Isn't he one of the boys?

"W-why?"

"Do you seriously care?" Blaine could hear the boys coming his way and he knew he had to be fast if he didn't want to get in trouble. "I think it's better if you go now" Blaine nodded and ran away as fast as he could.

Blaine was interrupt from his thought as a loud sound filled the room. And when he looked up he wasn't astonished by the cause of it. He saw Jake Puckerman storming out of the auditorium and it took a lot of himself not to follow him. Not to scream at him and tell him how much he hates him. Because Blaine changed. He doesn't let everything happen anymore, he actually tries to do something. He comes up for himself.

But right now it was better if he didn't do anything.

Jake on the other end didn't stay calm.

As soon as he was out of the auditorium he went outside and ran as hard as he could.

They told him to stop. They fucking told him to stop! And he worked so hard on this. Alright he admits, he maybe was too busy with not forgetting the words to even look at the audience, but he can learn that right? He doesn't want this school year to be the same as every other school year. That he gets expelled at the end. He wants to make his mother proud and happy. Even though this means he can't be happy himself.

"I think I speak for everyone that we let these two join the group" Artie stated as he pointed at the names: Jake and Marley.

"Jake wasn't that good" Blaine barely whispered, but the others still heard it and turned surprised around.

"Not that good? He was amazing. He may have to work on his angry issues, but that worked out with Puck perfectly and…"

"Yeah, yeah, I got it. He's amazing." The other members didn't realize that there was something more going on. They didn't see the pain in Blaine's eyes.

Jake Puckerman was going to join New Directions and Blaine Anderson doesn't like the idea of that.

A/N: Liked it?! Hated it?! Just so you know… I'm a very slow updater, so if you enjoyed this and want to read the second chapter. Don't expect it to be up soon… But for now I'm not even sure yet if I'm going to continue!?
