Chapter 2

"Blaine Anderson?" a voice called, snapping him out of his thoughts. He looked around and remembered where he was. In a church, at his girlfriend's funeral. He looked and saw that it was the rabbi, waiting for him to give his eulogy. He took a slow and shaky breath as he walked up to the podium and began to read his speech.

"When I look back on my experiences in High School, the one I will be most proud of, is playing the lead male role in my first year at William McKinley High School." he began slowly. He looked at the glee club for support. They were all giving him encouraging smiles through their tears.

"We were doing West Side Story, and I was lucky enough to be cast as Tony, even if I was only a junior. He smiled in spite of himself as he paused to look over at Kurt and they shared a smile. They had broken up during the first week of school. It was surprisingly quite amicable. Kurt told him that he had seen the way Blaine looked at Rachel and set him free.

"Rachel had gotten the role of Maria." He continued slowly, trying his hardest not to let his sadness affect his voice.

"Rachel and I spent a lot of time together because of this. We were always at each other's houses, rehearsing lines or practicing songs. "He admitted, trying to remember everything he could from those busy weeks.

"We had a lot of duets together in this musical, but our favorite was always One Hand, One Heart. It was when we felt the most like our characters." he told the crowd. He looked over and saw the glee club with small smiles over their faces.

"Now we had practiced this song quite a bit, but our performance during our opening night will always be my favorite. When we took our places, I began to sing, and of course, I was in character, but the whole time, I felt as if there was something stronger, even bigger than who I was pretending to be. It was only when Rachel began to sing did I realize what it was. I was in love. I had been in love with her ever since I first saw her at our Sectionals Competition and I knew that she was the one. Rachel was the perfect Maria, and I will always be so grateful that I got to be her Tony." he finished; his voice cracking as he remembered Rachel's last words to him. The crowd had broken down into hysterical weeping.

"Thank you." he mumbled quickly as he walked out of the church. As soon as he felt the sunlight on his face, he couldn't hold it in anymore. He put his hands in his face and started weeping. He sank slowly onto the cold, stone steps of the church and let his grief overcome him. He felt his entire body shaking with his sobs. It had finally sunk in. Rachel was gone. She was really gone, and there was nothing he could do about it. He didn't know how long he sat there, but he knew that after what seemed like hours, he felt arms embrace him and cradle him, just as he had done with Rachel.

"It's ok Blaine." the voice kept telling him over and over again. It took him a long time to realize that the voice belonged to Tina. He wanted to thank her for coming out to comfort him, to offer his own words of comfort, but he couldn't. He just let his tears continue to flow.

"It's not your fault Blaine." she told him. He hadn't realized that he had been speaking that loudly.

"B-but, i-it is." he choked out in between sobs as he told not so coherent version of what happened.

"You couldn't have stopped Rachel or, Finn." Tina had said. Blaine just shook his head.

"I-I-I" he tried to say again, but he couldn't. Tina didn't say anything, she just hugged him. After what seemed like another couple of hours, Blaine finally looked up at Tina and uttered his first words that were not hindered by sobs.

"I loved her." he told Tina. She paused for a while and just nodded.

"I know." she told him.

"You did?" he asked her hoarsely, his throat sore from all the crying he had done.

"Yes. She loved you and your child." she finished quietly. Then the both hugged each other and sobbed quietly for what seemed like hours, mourning the loss of someone who had gone much too soon.

And that's the end! Thanks for reading! Review please! Note: I got the idea for Rachel being pregnant from this BlainexQuinn story:
