What's Going On?
Chapter 6 – Ryan Said What?
Light Synopsis: When Ryan announces a dramatic shift in the plot line, the whole cast is shaken by the changes.
Author's Note: This chapter is dedicated to the amazing VioletCherry342 for being so patient with me and being such a good friend!
Naya's jaw dropped. 'We were only joking around!' her mind shouted at Ryan as he announced the direction of the next episode. She grabbed Heather's hand, concerned.
"Chris, Darren. This will be the mash-up," Ryan hands them a few sheets of paper. "Already Gone by Kelly Clarkson which Kurt will sing, and Annie You Save Me by Graffiti6, which Blaine will sing obviously." he annotated the confusion on peoples' faces in his head. "Blaine will still be trying to win Kurt over but Kurt assures him he can't. He's done," there was a slight motion, Chris and Darren taking a small step apart. It almost saddened some, thinking of the future. "Then, when they finish, Schue will scold them for not taking the mash-up correctly, then leave. When he's gone, Kurt will talk to Blaine. I want all of you to read it, interpret it as you may."
When Ryan finished everyone dispersed. "Darren, I-" Chris tried, but Darren cut him off.
"No, it's okay Chris. I mean, we have no idea what goes on in Ryan's insane mind so we never could have suspected it," he says.
Chris nods, knowing there is no point in fighting the truth. "Okay, Darren."

Kurt sat on the floor of the auditorium, awaiting Mr. Schue and Blaine. He thought over recent events- the words, thee break-up, the confrontation, the hospital. It all spun in his head until finally he laid his back to the floor and closed his eyes.
"Planning on taking a nap?" A slightly amused, but still cold, Blaine asked. Kurt opened his eyes, blushing a little. Blaine was wearing a black shirt and pants, his arms crossed over his chest and he was leaning against the wall with a foot propped up against it.
As Kurt stood up, his almost bright purple shirt and black pants seemed dissimilar to Darren. But when he moved to speak, Mr. Schue entered and slammed his teacher's books onto the desk. "Sorry, I guess. Rough day. So, what will you sing?" He asked, passionless. This was not like Mr. Schue.
"Umm, a mash-up of Already Gone by Kelly Clarkson and Annie You Save Me by Graffiti6." Kurt said. Mr. Schue just nodded, urging them to continue. The intro to Already Gone started...
Remember all the things we wanted
Now all our memories, they're haunted
We were always meant to say goodbye
Even with our fists held high
It never would have worked out right, yeah
We were never meant for do or die
I didn't want us to burn out
I didn't come here to hurt you now I can't stop
The intro to Annie You Save Me cut in then and Blaine stepped forward, slightly pushing Kurt back.
Remember me, remember me when you are down.
Float me on air, and lift me up from off the ground.
Oh baby, I feel lazy so lie here in my arms tonight.
Would you deny a poor man's cry, a poor man's cry?
Blaine backed up and stood next to Kurt, the two belting out the next lines melodically.
I want you to know
That it doesn't matter
Where we take this road
But someone's gotta go
(Oh Annie, you save me from the world.)
And I want you to know
You couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on
So I'm already gone
(Oh Annie, you save me from the world.)
Instead of letting them finish the song, Mr. Schue stopped them. "Cut the music. Guys, stop. Listen, I don't think you grasped what the point of the assignment was. It was to put your emotions beside you and focus on the song, not pit your emotions against each other." he stood and gathered his jacket and books and left, quickly.
"Hn, I wonder what his problem was." Kurt said, off-handed.
Blaine surprised him by saying back, "Probably us."
"What?" Kurt questioned.
"Listen to us, Kurt. Did you hear what we just did? We mashed songs; one about living for someone, they other saying it was never meant to be. We didn't even try." Blaine retorted.
Kurt pushed back (with words, mind you), "That's your fault, Blaine! Why can't you just accept I can't love you after everything that's happened?"
Immediately, Kurt wished he hadn't said that so harshly. Tears had formed in Blaine's eyes. He stuttered out, "Maybe I- maybe I just couldn't lose you, Kurt. But I- I guess you don't care anymore. I- I don't know what to do anymore, Kurt." But when Kurt moved to comfort Blaine, he flinched and turned. He ran.

When the camera's turned away from Chris, he burst into tears. He tried to muffle his sobs, just in case the camera picked them up, but his eyes were blurring over by tears so he couldn't even tell if they were on anymore or not.
Everyone in the cast that was there immediately ran to Chris and comforted him, Darren being the closest. "I'm so sorry Chris! You know I didn't mean any of it!" Darren pleaded.
Chris nodded, still attempting to gather himself. "I- I'll be okay, I promise."
"Well, at the very least you should lay down." Matthew (Morrison) said.
Chris nodded, returning to his trailer. Darren stared after him. "Go help him." Matthew said softly, recognizing the look in his eyes.

The next day, Kurt and Blaine sat on opposite sides of the classroom when three people walked into the classroom. Mr. Schue followed them in. "Everyone, say hello to our three newest additions!" He said happily. A little too happily for some of the students. "David Karofsky,"
'As if we have no idea who he is.' was the thought that ran through most of the students' heads.
"Sebastian Smythe," Mr. Schue continued. Kurt gasped and Blaine smiled at his friend. "And finally, even though he isn't a student, Jesse St. James. He will be our guest singer, as we are allowed one at Nationals this year." Mr. Schue finished.
And then, quite randomly, Rachel screamed.
