Just a nice short chapter to keep everyone happy :)

Chapter 4

"Well you just missed probably the most interesting thing that will happen all week," Sebastian bellowed as he strutted into the library, ignoring the old and cranky looking librarian signalling for him to be quiet with her pointer finger covering her lips.

"Really? What happened? Was there a nudie streak on the lacrosse field again?" Blaine asked as he approached the still sour looking librarian with a pile of books.

"Nope," Sebastian replied, grabbing the pile of books out of Blaine's hands when he noticed he was struggling to carry them while trying to put his backpack on at the same time.

"Then what happened?"

"You had an intentional visit from Ms Rachel Berry, but don't worry, I scared her off before she could get her overly sanitized jazz hands on you. You're welcome," Sebastian grinned, taking the top book off the pile and raising his eyebrows at it. "Oh, Harry Potter? That's about as unique as having a face," Sebastian giggled, passing the books back to Blaine at the checkout counter.

The librarian shot Sebastian an offended look, as if the books could actually hear him and had feelings.

"Problem?" Sebastian snapped aggressively, causing the librarian to simply glare and return to checking out Blaine's mainstream book choices. "Really Blaine? The Hunger Games? If I see Twilight in that pile I'll shove it right up your-"

"Excuse you!" the librarian interrupted before Sebastian could finish his threat.

"Don't you have some encyclopaedias to dust off?"

"Seb, stop it," Blaine ordered before this turned into a teen VS old lady brawl to the death. "Now tell me what happened with Rachel. Should I be worried?"

"Not sure. Rachel probably has a few more things she'd like to say to the both of us, but we're safe in Dalton, not that we have to be afraid of a little diva. She didn't really get to say much. I'm sure if she made her way into the library before I found her she would have given you a mouthful. Bloody Hunter came along for the ride too. I think we officially have an enemy."

Blaine couldn't believe it. He knew Hunter was trouble and would have tried his best to keep out of his bad books, but now Sebastian and Rachel have screwed that plan up. He could just add him to the ever increasing list of new enemies he had made. Kurt, Rachel and now Hunter.

"We need to stop," Blaine blurted out nervously, oblivious to the fact that the librarian was still listening to the two teens.

The look on Sebastian's face said it all, he knew what Blaine meant, but he had to ask anyway.

"Stop what? This? This as in, us?"

"Yeah, us. It's caused too much drama already and it's only going to get worse. I didn't want to hurt Kurt this bad but if he's got Rachel on his side, we're in trouble. Maybe we could just wait until everyone calms down and forgets about it, and then we can do whatever we want."

"That's the thing though Blaine, they're not going to forget about it. Cheating isn't like a bruise. It doesn't fade away after a few days. It's more like a scar. A big fat scar over your heart. Now we can either face the drama, together, or just forget each other completely. Make your choice Blaine, because I'm not going to hide this, not anymore."

Before Blaine could reply, Sebastian marched out of the library, leaving him with a pile of books, a cranky librarian and one hell of a decision to make.

Who do I talk to now?


That night, while everyone else was in a deep sleep, Blaine was wide awake still pondering over what Sebastian had said to him in the library. No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't make up his mind. There was no one he could talk to.

Just as Blaine was about to fall asleep, his phone started ringing. It was Finn.

Blaine hesitated. The only reason Finn would be calling him is because of Rachel, and he wasn't sure if he was ready to face the wrath of one of the people closest to Kurt. It was bad enough that Rachel had come to Dalton. What if Finn decided to do the same? Even Sebastian wouldn't be able to stop a furious Finn.

The ringing stopped, followed by the text tone notifying Blaine that he had a missed call. He didn't need the text, he already knew. Finn had tried to call him, and something told Blaine that it wouldn't be the last time he would try to reach him. Maybe the next time would be less sudden. Maybe Finn would text him saying that he's coming to Dalton, or maybe he'd just show up unexpectedly just like Rachel and knock him out with one fast swing.

The phone started ringing again, but this time Blaine answered. His gut made him do it, not his brain. He wasn't ready for the yelling, the judging, the disappointment, but he did it anyway.

"H-Hello?" he answered awkwardly feeling the phone shaking in his hands.

"Why will you talk to Finn but not me?" Blaine dropped the phone onto the floor when 'Finn' replied. It wasn't the manly tone he was used to. It was a girl.

Blaine could hear the woman talking on the phone still, asking if Blaine was listening to her. Unsure what to do, he picked up the phone and put it up to his ear, trying to keep as quiet as possible.

"I know you're there Blaine."

Blaine's hand was shaking more than before now, making it hard to hold the phone with only one hand.

"R-Rachel? Is that you?"

"No, Blaine. It's Finn. I just like talking like a girl on the phone," Rachel snapped back sarcastically.

"What do you want?" the teen replied, feeling as if someone was torturing him rather than just wanting to talk to him on the phone.

"I want you to leave Dalton, but more importantly, leave Sebastian. Then apologise to Kurt. It's all we want."

"We? Kurt want's that too? I thought I was nothing to him anymore?" Blaine felt a sudden burst of courage. The feeling of just hanging up and throwing the phone out of the window was gone.

Rachel let out an unnerving chuckle. "You really don't understand what you've done, do you? You've really messed up, Blaine. I know that even if you do apologise and leave Sebastian, it won't be the same, but it's better than letting Kurt waste away to nothing while you have the time of your life in the place that you both met. His memories are there too, and now you're just replacing them. Kurt hasn't eaten in 3 days, because of you. Kurt hasn't slept for a week, because of you. Kurt just isn't the same anymore, because of you. I'm not going to come and get you out myself because it won't teach you anything. You need to decide for yourself. Will you stay away from Sebastian, or destroy the person you once loved?"

There was a moment of silence. A single tear slid down Blaine's face before getting caught on the side of his lip. Another tough decision was thrown his way, but this one required an immediate answer.

"I'll stay away."
