Okay, I know it's not what you guys are used to, but I promise it's not what you think. Long story short: Blaine redeems himself.
Guilt.
Guilt guilt.
Guiltguiltguilt
That's all Blaine could feel for the next twelve hours. He should just cancel on Sebastian right now. He should tell Kurt. He'll dump him and Finn will put him in a coma and a full-body cast, but at least he was honest. And, hey, at least he won't have to deal with Sebastian. That thought cheered him up a bit. Blaine headed to Kurt's locker, but he wasn't there. That's strange. Blaine checked his cell phone. No missed calls. Was Kurt sick?
It took a while, but Blaine eventually found Finn in the science wing. "Hey, Finn."
Finn turned around slightly solemn. "Hey."
"Is Kurt sick today?" Blaine asked.
Finn sighed. "No. His letter from NYADA came in the mail yesterday. He's on the waiting list."
Blaine sighed and shook his head. "But why is that a big deal? A waiting list just means you'll get in if someone declines."
"Honestly, dude, I don't know." Finn shrugged. "I don't think he's feeling very confident right now. He hasn't had the best year- not getting the lead in West Side Story, accused of cheating in the presidential election, your gay stalker..." Finn shook his head sympathetically. "As of yet, you're pretty much the only good thing he has this year."
More guilt swelled up inside the junior. He hoped Finn couldn't see through him. "I'll talk to him."
"Good." Finn patted his shoulder. "I'll see you later."
"See ya." Blaine sighed and leaned against a wall. No way will he be able to sleep with Sebastian now. He hoped it wouldn't happen, but now that he thought of it, Kurt may try to hurt himself if he does.

Later that day, Blaine tried out for the swim team. Dalton let out an hour later than McKinley. He made plans to confront Sebastian after Dalton let out and he was done with tryouts.
"Blaine?"
Blaine turned to see Quinn staring at him with amusement. He smiled. "Hey, Quinn."
Quinn chuckled lightly and folded her arms. "Well, this is certainly unexpected. I didn't take you for a swimmer."
Blaine just smiled and shrugged. "It's never too late to get involved with more extracurricular activities."
"True." Quinn nodded. "Sam's trying out, too."
"Cool. We'll have three Gleeks on the swim team, now." Blaine smiled.
"You seem so confident." Quinn noticed. "How do you do that?"
"By believing in yourself." Blaine replied simply. "And yes, I realize how cheesy that just sounded."
Quinn laughed lightly. She sobered up. "So, I hear Kurt got wait-listed."
"Yeah...that sucks for him." Blaine replied looking sympathetic. Thinking of that made him feel guilty again.
Quinn noticed his facial expression. It was the same one she had when she was guilty of cheating on Finn and Sam. "Is everything okay with you and Kurt?"
"Why do you ask that?" Blaine asked nervously.
"I cheated on two of my boyfriends." Quinn stated simply. "I know what a guilty expression looks like."
"I'm not cheating on Kurt. I promise." Blaine said honestly.
Quinn did not look convinced. "Okay." She said, still hesitant. "Good luck with tryouts."
"You, too."

'Best. Football practice. Ever.'
Finn smiled as he and his friends headed back to the locker room. For once in his three years of football, they went two hours without arguments breaking out. It was like a miracle! After hitting the showers he found Blaine and Sam politely chatting amongst the lockers.
"...honestly, man, I think your hair looks better this way." Sam was saying.
Blaine glared at his reflection. His unruly hair was matted to his head. "I look like Milo Ventimiglia, the Gilmore Girls years."
"Who?" Sam asked. Blaine just shook his head.
"Hey, guys. How was tryouts?" Finn asked.
"Great! We both made it." Sam smiled. "Quinn tried out too, but didn't make the cut."
"Good. She needs to be knocked down a few pegs." Finn said before he could stop himself. Sam and Blaine looked shocked and cringed.
Finn froze as he heard Quinn cleared her throat behind him. "I'm looking for Puck. Have you seen him?"
"Uh...I think he's still in the showers..." Finn muttered, still not turning around.
"Thank you." Quinn responded. She walked off.
"That awkward moment when you talk bad about someone and they're standing right behind you." Sam quipped.
"Yeah..."
The trio continued to clean themselves up. Finn kept noticing Blaine looking at his cell phone. He decided he was waiting for Kurt to call. As he put his football uniform in his bag, he heard a locker door shut and someone leaving the locker room. He stood up, slung his bag over his shoulder and was about to leave when he heard a cell phone jingle. A black cell phone sat on a bench vibrating a little. Finn recognized it as Blaines'. He picked it up to answer it, but saw there was a text message on it. As Finn read it, his brows furrowed in anger, he gripped the cell phone, his fist clenched, and his teeth grit.
He is gonna hurt somebody!

Blaine had a plan. First, he was gonna call Kurt to check up on him. Then he was gonna drive to Dalton, find Sebastian and tell him to eff the hell off. Hopefully he'll have some time for homework when he gets home. Blaine looked fondly at his picture of him and Kurt at his junior prom. How could he even consider cheating on him, even if it was to get Sebastian to back off? What was he thinking? After all, there's such a thing called a restraining order.
The junior classman slowly put his History book in his bag and slowly zipped it up.
Slam!
Blaine jumped when he saw someone slam his locker door shut. He turned to see Finn looking beyond furious at him. Finn held up his cell phone to show him a text message on it.
"Can't wait for Friday. We're gonna have lots of fun. ;)
-Sebastian"
Blaine froze in shock. His stomach dropped, shivers ran up his spine, and a small lump rose to his throat. Before he could respond, Finn tossed aside his cell phone and pinned Blaine against his locker.
"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't castrate you right now." Finn growled.
"I'm calling it off. I don't know what I was thinking." Blaine exclaimed. "Please let me explain."
"Explain what? That you're going against everything you and your relationship with Kurt stood for?" Finn exploded. "What happened to you not being for sale? What happened to Sebastian meaning nothing to you? Or were you lying?"
"I wasn't. I was desperate." Blaine explained calmly. "I thought that if I gave Sebastian what he wants, he'll leave me alone."
"It's still cheating!" Finn yelled angrily. "Were you even going to tell Kurt about it?"
"I-I wasn't planning on it, but-"
"And after all he's done for you, after all he's gone through, you are going to rip out his heart, jump on it, burn it, and run it over!" Finn continued.
"Don't you think I know that?" Blaine yelled back.
"I don't think you do! Or else you wouldn't be hurting Kurt like this!" Finn continued holding Blaine against the locker. "I oughta beat the shit out of you."
"Why haven't you yet?" Blaine asked. "If you wanted to beat me up, you would've done it already."
Finn sighed and let go of Blaine. "I'm enlisting in the army and I haven't told Rachel yet."
Blaine scoffed and shook his head. "And you have the audacity to judge me."
"Blaine, this is different! I'm not cheating!" Finn said angrily. "And joining the army is hell of a lot less riskier than cheating on your boyfriend!"
"Finn, you could get yourself killed out there." Blaine folded his arms.
"So could you! Ever heard of AIDS?" Finn threw up his hands in frustration.
Blaine's face fell. He hadn't thought of that. "Either way, we're both dead."
Finn sighed and rubbed his eyes. "Look...I'm not going to tell Kurt...yet. But you should."
"I'll tell him, I promise." Blaine said earnestly. "Are you going to tell Rachel?"
"Yes. By the way, if you don't tell Kurt by Friday, I'll tell him myself." Finn warned. He walked off.
Blaine sighed. 'Well, it can't get any worse, can it?'

Kurt was a wreck.
How could he be on the waiting list? He worked so hard to get in! He bet Rachel got in, no problem. He didn't go to school today. He couldn't face the shame and humiliation of not getting into the college of his choice in front of Rachel or Blaine. What would they think? God, he is such a failure!
His phone rang. Kurt sighed and answered it. "Hello?"
"Hey." Blaine said on the other line. "I missed you at school today."
Tears started running slowly down Kurt's cheeks. He swallowed. "I got wait-listed."
"Kurt, come on. Just because you are on the waiting list, doesn't mean you won't get in." Blaine assured him. "You can't give up so easily. This isn't you."
"All I wanted was for my senior year to be magic." Kurt lamented. "It's already January, and my senior year has been less than magical."
"Nothing is ever what you expect." Blaine said wisely shaking his head. He was trying to drive and talk on his phone at the same time. "Things don't always go the way we planned. Just be positive."
Kurt smiled through his tears. Blaine never ceases to amaze him. "How did I ever become so lucky to find a guy like you?"
"Please...luck had nothing to do with it." Blaine smiled. He exhaled quietly. He really needed to get this over with. "Kurt, there's something I have to tell you..."
"Wait, me first." Kurt sat up on his bed. "I have been through hell lately what with everything going on. I'm just glad that even though Sebastian is stalking you, you'd never do anything to hurt our relationship. Without you, I have nothing to live for."
Blaine swallowed and held back tears of both happiness and regret. He couldn't bring himself to tell him. Kurt continued. "Anyway. What did you want to tell me?"
"I joined the swim team." Blaine replied. 'Well, that much was true.'
"That's great." Kurt smiled. "At least one of us is having a successful year."
"You will, too." Blaine said. "We still have five months to make your senior year magical."
"Thanks." Kurt sniffed. "I love you."
"I love you, too." Blaine replied. "See you tomorrow?"
Kurt exhaled slowly. "Maybe."
"Kurt, you can't avoid school forever." Blaine raised an eyebrow.
"I know...I'll see you tomorrow."
"See ya." Blaine hung up and sighed. 'I'm in deep shit.'

Dalton was quiet during this time of day. Blaine marched through the halls ignoring surprised greetings from his former classmates. He found Sebastian's dorm and pounded on the door. Sebastian opened it and was surprised to see Blaine.
"Find yourself another sex toy. We're through." Blaine said firmly while glaring at Sebastian. He turned his heel and stormed off.
Sebastian stared after Blaine in shock. He ran after him and grabbed his arm. "Hey! What the hell? Doing it was your idea in the first place!"
Blaine aggressively pulled out of Sebastian's grip. "I was scared and desperate. I don't know what I was thinking."
Sebastian just glared at Blaine. "I didn't want to have to do this, but you're forcing my hand."
Blaine swallowed inwardly, but stood his ground. "What are you talking about?"
Sebastian grinned and gestured to his dorm. "Come inside. There's something you should see."
Blaine continued glaring at Sebastian. "I can scream very loudly when the occasion demands it, you know."
"That won't be necessary." Sebastian replied, grinning. He put a hand on Blaine's back and led him in his dorm room. He gestured to his computer desk chair. "Have a seat."
Blaine complied and kept his eyes on Sebastian. "What is this?"
"You'll see in a moment." Sebastian rummaged in his drawers and pulled out a CD. "Ah. Here it is." He walked over to his computer and put the CD in. A surveillance video of Blaine's, Kurt's, and Sebastian's visit to Scandals. Blaine stared in shock and horror. "How-how did you...?"
"I know a guy." Sebastian said simply.
FLASHBACK:
Sebastian marched down a hallway and knocked on a door. A middle-aged man with gray-streaked blonde hair answered. Sebastian pinned the poor man against the wall much to the man's shock.
"Give me a video surveillance of this exact time and place" Sebastian showed him a piece of paper with the exact time and date of his visit to Scandals. "or your wife will find out about your second family in Australia."
END FLASHBACK
Blaine shook his head and began to rise. "We're done here."
"Whoa, hold on, pal. We're just getting to the good part." Sebastian pushed him back on the chair. The video skipped a little and showed Kurt and Blaine in the parking lot. Blaine was drunk and tried to kiss Kurt, but Kurt helped him into the backseat. Blaine pulled Kurt onto him. Blaine stared at the video in regret.
"Wouldn't it be awful if both yours and Kurt's families were to find out about this?" Sebastian asked as Blaine glared up at him. "That would be one hell of an argument. Not to mention a bloodbath."
"You. Wouldn't. Dare." Blaine said through gritted teeth.
"Don't worry- I won't." Sebastian put his hands up in surrender. "If you have sex with me as we agreed. Oh, and Blaine...if you tell anyone about this, I'll post this on YouTube, and email the link to everyone you know, including Kurt and his dad. Is that clear?"
Blaine stood up and glared at Sebastian with pure loathing. "I hate you."
"Does that mean you'll agree?"
Blaine sighed, closed his eyes and bowed his head. He really didn't want to do this. First, he felt guilty for agreeing to have sex with Sebastian, now he's being blackmailed? Sebastian sighed, shook his head and sat down at his computer.
"Okay. Guess I'll post the video on YouTube, then." He opened up YouTube, clicked the "upload video" button, and clicked "Browse...".
"No! Wait! Stop!" Blaine cried frantically. He held his hands out. Sebastian paused and turned to Blaine.
"Yes?"
Blaine swallowed. His heart was pounding through his chest, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead. What if he refused and the video ended up on YouTube? He would be completely shunned and alienated from Kurt's family and their friends. But what if he cheated on Kurt and everyone found out about it? Which would be worse?
"Why don't we just do it right now?" Blaine asked, his voice shaking slightly.
"Because my roommate will be back any minute, and I have homework." Sebastian explained. "Tomorrow I have Warbler practice, so Friday is the only day I can come over. Remember, Blaine: do not tell anyone. You know what will happen."
Blaine started shaking and tried not to show it. "I'll behave."
"Good." Sebastian exited out of the program, and took the CD out. "I'll see you Friday."
Blaine nodded and stumbled out of the dorm and out of the building. He ran to his car, jumped in, slammed the door shut and pounded on the steering wheel. He leaned back against the headrest and rubbed his eyes unsure of what to do. He didn't want to have sex with Sebastian, but he didn't want anyone to know about their night at Scandals, either!
What's a Gleek to do?
Hey, how would you guys feel if I wrote two endings for this story? I could include one in this one, and write an alternate ending as another story.
