Sorry but there is A LOT of dialogue in this part! It needed to be done.
Chapter 2
"Why the hell would Blaine do that to you?!" Rachel's voice always turned high pitched when she was angry. "He said you were the love of his life! You were in love!"
"I know. Can we just not talk about it?"
"No, Kurt! We can't! Something is seriously wrong with Blaine! He wouldn't just do this to you!"
As the memories of the break-up came flooding back to Kurt, the tears followed. "Well he did. There's nothing we can do."
"There's nothing you can do! I, on the other hand, can. I'm going back to Lima right now to talk to him," Rachel declared as she stormed to her room to grab her car keys.
"Rachel, please don't. It's not worth the effort."
She completely ignored Kurt and headed out the apartment with her handbag, slamming the sliding door behind her, closely followed by Kurt.
Before he knew it, Kurt was in Rachel's car on the way back to Lima. The trip was done in complete silence but neither of them complained. Rachel was too busy thinking about what she was going to say to Blaine. Kurt however, was thinking about how Blaine would react to the sudden ambush by an angry Rachel and the distressed ex-boyfriend.
I just know I'm going to regret this, Kurt thought to himself.
"What do you mean you're going back to Dalton?!" Tina was far from pleased with Blaine's unexpected decision.
"I've already been accepted back so there's no point in trying to change my mind," Blaine stated, barely above a whisper. He hated to do this to his friends but it was for the best. It had only been 10 minutes since he entered the halls of McKinley and already hundreds of memories came flooding back to him.
"Can you at least tell us why?! Are you being bullied again?" Artie questioned as he rolled over towards Blaine.
"I can't. I think it'd be better if you guys just accepted it and let me go."
Mr Schuester could sense the awkwardness radiating from the teen and decided to step in. "Guys, come on. This is Blaine's choice. Not yours. If you're true friends to Blaine, you'd accept his choice."
"Thank you, Mr Schue. I'll still come see you guys all the time, just not at school or at Glee Club practice."
Without another word, Blaine was gone from McKinley and back to where it all started.
Dalton Academy.
The scent was familiar, the people were recognizable and he was feeling was something he was accustomed to. Blaine finally felt like he was home.
Nick Duval couldn't believe his eyes when his old friend walked into the common room.
"Blaine?! What are you doing here?!" he yelled as he jumped from the couch and gave Blaine a reuniting hug.
"I thought you guys missed me too much so I decided to come back!"
"For real?! That's awesome! But I have to ask, why?"
Blaine put on a fake smile, trying to hide what the real reason was. He didn't want anyone to know. They would all just think he was back at Dalton for a hiding place.
"Uh. I just felt like it," he answered with a 'smile'.
Nick's eyes pointed at Blaine with scepticism. He knew there was definitely something Blaine wasn't telling him.
"You were being bullied again, weren't you?"
Blaine sighed at the common notion that seemed to be everyone's first suspicion. "Why does everyone think that? I'm fine! I just wanted a change!"
Nick still wasn't convinced but didn't question his friend any further. It had been too long of a separation for him to start an argument.
The teen's sweet reunion was abruptly interrupted by a familiar voice. "Blaine Anderson. What are you doing back?"
Blaine turned to see Sebastian leaning on the door frame with his arms crossed. What did he mean by what are you doing back? It was his idea in the first place!
"What are you talking about, Sebastian? You said-"
Sebastian quickly stopped Blaine from finishing his sentence, which made Blaine feel odd. "Get your bags. I'll show you to your room."
As they walked out of the common room, leaving Nick to contemplate what was going on between the two, Blaine gave Sebastian a chance to explain his weird behaviour.
"I'm sorry about that, but you can't tell people it was my idea for you to come back."
"Why not? It's only the truth."
"Because if it backfires and the Warbler's don't want you back, they'll blame me and it'll be World War III."
Blaine knew what Sebastian meant, but somehow he couldn't stop thinking that Sebastian was ashamed of being in love with him. Blaine wasn't exactly Sebastian's usual type. He wasn't drop-dead gorgeous or even had a six pack you could grate cheese on. He was just… Blaine.
"I guess you're right. I won't tell anyone."
"Thanks. Your new dorm is 24. Right between me in dorm 25 and some kid called Addicus is in dorm 23 next door."
"Ooo. Does that mean we can have sleepovers?" Blaine asked cheekily, nudging Sebastian with his elbow.
"If you want to wake up with your eyebrows missing, sure."
"Don't be an asshole, Seb," Blaine giggled as he opened his dorm door.
Sebastian scoffed. "Seb? If you think you're going to turn this into a spew-worthy pet name fest, you can forget it."
"Woah. Calm down. It's just a name."
Sebastian didn't respond. He just followed Blaine into his dorm and helped him unpack. He was glad to have Blaine back at Dalton, but wasn't sure how the newest Warbler would feel about his return.
"Watch out for Hunter Clarington. He's bad news," Sebastian warned, not making eye contact with Blaine as he hung up the blazers.
"I don't remember someone called Hunter," Blaine muddled, putting all his socks into the drawers.
"Exactly. He's new. He's from a Military Academy in Colorado Springs. He transferred here earlier this year after leading his show choir to a regionals victory."
"Wait, don't you need like a high school diploma or something to get into a Military Academy?"
"That's what a guy in my PE class said, before his nose 'accidentally' got hit with a medicine ball that was 'passed' by Hunter."
Blaine's head jolted up. Never has he heard of someone purposely hurting a fellow member of Dalton Academy before. Sebastian was right, Hunter is bad news, and Blaine had to make sure he didn't get on his bad side.
"You're worried now, aren't you?"
Blaine nodded slowly.
"Well don't be. He can sense it. Just lay low and you'll be fine. He won't be at Warbler practice today so it'll give everyone else a chance to warm to you before he sticks his opinion in their heads."
"Hold on. He's a Warbler?!"
"Yeah, I kinda missed that part, didn't I?" Sebastian laughed, as if this were all some joke to him.
"Don't laugh! I came here to feel welcomed, not intimidated!"
Sebastian continued laughing as he left Blaine's dorm. "Suck it up, princess. That's life. I'll see you at practice!"
"Sebastian wait-" Blaine called out for him but it was too late. He closed the door behind him and left, still laughing as he unlocked his door.
What am I going to do now? Blaine thought to himself as he sat himself on the edge of his bed. Was he really overreacting? Or would Hunter really be as bad as Sebastian said?
Only one way to find out.
"Where is Blaine Anderson!?" Rachel screamed as she burst in on the Glee Club practicing.
Brittany's jaw dropped as she saw the former leader enter the room. "Oh my god it's a ghost."
Rachel didn't bother correcting Brittany but instead simply shook her head and turned her attention to Mr Schue.
"Tell me where he is! He's in BIG trouble!"
Mr Schue grabbed Rachel by the arms to try and calm her down. "Woah, woah. Rachel, what's going on? What did Blaine do?"
"He cheated on Kurt with Sebastian Smythe! He broke Kurt's heart!"
The room fell silent except for the tapping of Rachel's high heels on the concrete floor as a sign of impatience.
Artie broke the silence with a tone of disbelief. "He wouldn't do something like that."
"He would and he DID! Now tell me, where is he!"
Before anyone could answer, Kurt came into the room and pulled Rachel to the side.
"He's back at Dalton. Sue told me. Can we go home now?"
"No, Kurt. We are going to Dalton. Right, now."
So as you can see, Hunter will be in the story too. He doesn't come into Glee until 'Dynamic Duets' but I've decided I want him in my story now because he's my 2nd favourite Warbler. He's not captain of the Warbler's though. At least not yet ;) hehe
