Please review! Good and bad review are welcomed :)
Blaine opened the car door and hopped out of the car. He inhaled the sweet-smelling air of the woods and stretched his arms. He was glad to be out of the city to spend some time with his friends. This is what he needed; Kurt had ended their engagement and Blaine wasn't completely over it yet. He just wanted to have a great weekend with his friends that he didn't get to spend enough time with.
"Blaine! Stop staring out at the lake and get your ass over here. We need to bring all this stuff in". Mercedes was carrying a duffel bag under each of her arms and was making her way to the cabin.
"Okay, okay. I'm just happy to be out of the city," he said while walking over to the trunk of the car to grab a couple of bags.
"I know, isn't it nice to be somewhere without all of that 'city noise'?" Sam said as he walked around to the back of the car to grab the two heavy coolers, obviously trying to show Mercedes just how strong he was.
"Yeah. Are Rachel and Brody almost here? I thought they were right behind us?" Blaine asked while walking with Sam to the front door of the cabin.
"Well, they pulled off to the side of the road so that 'Rachel could go to the bathroom'" Sam said with air-quotes after setting down the two red coolers with a grunt.
"Aah," Blaine said with raised eyebrows. "I didn't think it took 20 minutes to go to the bathroom". Sam laughed and they made their way back out to the car to grab more bags.
After they had finished unloading the car and after Sam had shown them around the Cabin, Rachel and Brody finally showed up. Sam, Mercedes, and Blaine made their way out to help the two love birds unpack their car. Rachel and Brody hopped out of the car, and Rachel's hair was a little messy.
"So, Rachel," Blaine said while looking at her teasingly. She looked up with a smile. "How come it took 20 minutes to go to the bathroom?".
Rachel giggled as blush spread around her face. "Um- there was a line". She continued to giggle and Brody nudged her.
"Oh? I thought you guys just pulled off to the side of the road?" Sam said with a knowing grin.
"Alright guys, enough!" Brody said while opening the trunk. They all grabbed a bag and brought the luggage into the Cabin.
Once all of the food was unpacked and people had settled in a bit, they all grabbed a beer and headed out to the backyard. There was a big table out there, and they all took a seat.
"Should I go grab a deck of cards?" Sam said while already pushing out his chair. Everybody nodded in agreement as they sipped on their beers, enjoying the view of the lake. Sam grabbed a deck of cards and they all decided to play a few games of cards. Blaine was seated at the head of the table, and the other two couples were each seated next to each other, holding hands, playing footsie, etc. Blaine had never felt so single in his life.
"Guys, I feel like such a fifth wheel!" Blaine said with a small pout. Everybody reassured him simultaneously that he wasn't, but Blaine just huffed and rolled his eyes. They had already talked about coming out here when he and Kurt were still together, so when they made a plan to come out here after he and Kurt broke up, they felt that they should invite him.
Brody set down his beer and said, "Oh! I invited one of my friends out here who's also single. I talked to the others about it but I guess I forgot to tell you!" Blaine looked at him with a look that was a little bit annoyed. He and Brody never really got along well, but never said anything about it. Blaine just always felt that something was off with him. It was no surprise that he told everyone this except him. "But on the bright side, there you won't be a fifth wheel! I actually invited him because I think you guys know him. He went to that boy's school in Lima? I met him at work and he's really cool, and he said that he knew you guys so I thought that I must invite him."
Rachel said, "What a small world! Blaine went to Dalton! I didn't know that you're friend lived in Lima".
Blaine dreaded Brody's answer but asked anyway. "What's his name?"
"Sebastian Smythe? He said that he knew you, Blaine." Blaine choked on his beer when Brody said his name, and all of the other glee clubbers just sat there awkwardly because they all knew that Sebastian was a sore spot. He had almost blinded Blaine.
"Sebastian is your friend?" Blaine said in disbelief.
"Yeah," Brody said uncertainly, confused by everybody's reaction to his name. "Why? What did he do?"
"Well," Mercedes said, about to tell the story of the rock salt filled slushy.
"No," Blaine interrupted. "It's fine. He's fine." Mercedes got the hint and just left it. They all played cards in silence for a couple more minutes, but a light-hearted conversation started again and everything was fine. They played cards while the sun set, and then Sam got up to start making dinner.
Mercedes and Sam worked on barbequing some burgers and hot dogs while the other 3 set the table and got the toppings station ready. Blaine felt uncomfortable around Rachel and Brody, they were still in the honeymoon face. As she was setting down napkins, he was curled up behind her either kissing her neck or whispering something into her ear that made her giggle and blush. Blaine just continued to get things ready awkwardly.
Sam announced that the food was ready, and Blaine said a silent thank you that he wouldn't be alone with the two honeymooners any longer. Sam and Mercedes were still affectionate, but not nearly as out there as Rachel and Brody.
They had decided to sit at the indoor table for dinner because of mosquitos. As everybody was getting seated into their seats and were about to cheers their beers, they were interrupted. "Mmm... Burgers!"
Everybody turned around to see Sebastian standing at the door with a suit case. Blaine did not look happy, and it did not help that all Sebastian's leering green eyes would focus on was him.
