Thad cautiously peeked out from the curtain to see the audience populating the auditorium. Amongst the faces of the faculty, both past and present, and the families of the performers the aspiring council member spotted Jeff and Wes helping Blaine get to his seat.
Thad admitted that he had been less than welcoming when the freshman had first arrived at Dalton and this feeling had only increased as he established firm friendships with the guys that used to be Thad's friends. Wes and David were still perfectly civil to Thad whenever they saw him but the close relationship that there had once been had gone.
He had always assumed that he was jealous of Blaine, a feeling that only intensified when the boy joined the Warblers. But there was something else there, when he had heard Blaine sing it had set off a spark, he wasn't sure what it was but he was certain that the curly haired boy would be his downfall.
When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Blaine was sat in the auditorium with 'tears streaming down his face' but he was smiling as he watched his friends perform an acapella version of Coldplay's fix you.
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Trent took the solo for the next verse as the other Warblers remained in formation behind him.
And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth
Blaine choked on his tears as the five boys smiled knowingly in his direction indicating that this song was dedicated to him. His friends were such saps.
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
As Thad watched Blaine's expressions changing from doubt to playful annoyance and eventually gratitude and love he realised something. Thad wasn't jealous of Blaine; quite on the contrary, he feared that he was falling in love with him.
Tears stream down on your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down on your face
And I...
At the back of the auditorium Jesse sat seething, this wasn't how the story was supposed to go. Blaine was supposed to end up alone not surrounded by friends. Jesse scowled as he sat watching the back of Blaine's head as his nemesis enjoyed the performance. Beside him Jesse's date an arrogant brunette girl swayed to the music "Don't be such a sourpuss Jesse, you beat them at sectionals they aren't a threat to you anymore."
'Oh how wrong you are Rachel Berry' Jesse thought vindictively, Blaine being alive and well would always be a threat to him. The fairy boy didn't deserve happiness. Of course Jesse didn't say any of this to Rachel he just smiled charmingly and agreed with her "No, you're my competition now."
Tears stream down on your face
I promise you that I will learn from mistakes.
Tears stream down on your face
And I...
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
After the concert and a very awkward duet between Nick and Holly which Jeff spent nervously pacing at the side of the stage and nearly putting Nick off from the rendition of Owl City's Fireflies the six friends gathered in Blaine's room, the concert had really taken it out of the latter boy and he hadn't even been performing.
"St. James was there" David informed the room as a whole after a while of sitting in silence.
"What the hell?" Nick growled why can't he just leave Blaine alone?"
Blaine was however surprisingly unperturbed by the news, a fact which Trent observed with interest. "Blaine what are your views on the matter?"
The curly haired boy started at being addressed directly. "I'm over it I guess." he shrugged "I'm tired of letting him rule my life."
"But what if he tries to hurt you again?" Jeff asked
"He won't, I was an easy target at Carmel because I was alone but I have you guys now," he smiled from where he sitting propped up with hundreds of pillows "I'm not alone."
The song is Fix You - Coldplay
