Well today is regionals, we got to Columbus around 9 last night. We will be heading back tomorrow morning. Dad and Carole will be here anytime now. Sam said he has planed a special supper tonight win or lose.
We have about a half hour to warm up before heading back stage. Thank goodness we go on after the so called New Directions. I guess they just got here because I can hear them going through their warm ups.

Sam,Odin and I, make our way back stage to wait for the New Directions to finnish their numbers. - so typical the first song was an under rehearsed 50's tune, then Finn and Rachel sang in which Rachel's voice drowned out Finn's. To top it off was Rachel's mediocre solo- it was a poor song choice that had notes that she was trying to reach. It was more like she was screeching.
I can do this, I got this. Sam gave my hand a reassuring squeeze. Odin bumped my hand with his head as if to say you got this. Rachel's song ended, and left the stage. Thats when she saw us and stormed over to us. Odin let out a loud growl and sat in-front of me. I stroked his head bracing myself for what was to come.
"So you traitors decided to show your faces after all. Hope you guys aren't counting on winning because Finn and I are the better singers, no one can match my voice. Oh by the way David is back at school and now apart of glee club." She yelled.
That's when I saw David wave, I felt sick. I could feel my anxiety trying to surface. Odin pawed me and pulled me to a chair off to the side. Sam came over to me and pulled out his cell. The next thing I know, Dr. Blaine was there talking to me. I slowly began to calm down.
"Kurt we have five minutes till show time can you go on or do you need Mel to go on in your place." Dr Blaine asked.
"I can go on I haven't come this far to have her stop me. If I don't do it, then Rachel and David wins either way. Just have Odin close by, Nick can you take Odin's leash for me? Ok guy's let's do this." I take my place by Sam as Mel and Izzy walk toward each other as the music starts.
To say the girls nailed the song was an under statement, Sam stepped forward to join Mel as they sang their song, they were blowing the crowd away. I moved into position for my solo. I took a deep breath and sang my heart out. The warblers joined in with the chorus. Izzy came in on the echo parts. Our voices blended well together. The song ended and the audience gave us a standing ovation and called for an encore. So Sam and I sang 'Kingdom by Joey Graceffa.
I looked to the side of the stage where Rachel gave me a seething look. We left the stage for a ten minute break while the celebrity judges made their decisions.
The announcer - that just happen to be none other than,Joey Graceffa , came over to us.
"Hey guys are you the ones that sang my newest songs?" He asked us.
"Yes we did cover your songs, I hope you are ok with us using them. They have meaning to the four of us." Mel grinned like a Cheshire Cat.
" I can honestly say you guys did an amazing job." Joey smiled. "No mater what you guys are the clear winners in my book. Good luck." With that said he once again told the three competing clubs to take the stage so the winners can be announced.
Joey opened the envelope "In third place is The Sharp Tenors, in second place is the Hipsters..." The announcer was cut off by Rachel "See Kurt I told you that we are better than you and the stupid Warblers."she shouted.
"Ahh but thats were you are wrong Missy. The warblers are headed to LA, for nationals in May. Congrats to you and good luck." Joey smiled as he handed us the trophy. Rachel rushed Sam and I.
"They don't deserve to win, they probably bribed the judges. I needed that win to get into my collage of choice." She screeched.
"Will Schuester that girl has just caused your club to be suspended for the first six months of next year. As of now you are on notice." The elderly man, head of the show choir council glared at the New Directions, as the man walked over to congratulate us. I could hear Mr Shue yelling at her as he lead them from the building.
I just know this was not the last we will hear from her. But as for now it was the time to celebrate with the guys and later I had something planed for Sam. Yes tonight was the night- I am finally ready for the next step.
Now to have Jeff keep Sam busy while Nick and set up the room.
