Okay, so I really did this one in record time lol I wrote this in less than two days. Well, I guess that's what happens when you sit in a car for nine hours, two days in a row. I'm finally home from Chicago, and let me tell you, it feels awesome! I may hate that I live in such a small place, but it's home and right now, I love it! I'll give it a few weeks and I'll be dying to go back to Chicago...
As usual, thanks for reading, you all are wonderful and my inspiration to keep writing. And of course, my wonderful friend Tricia, who may ramble and fangirl too much, but she's awesome and amazing in every way, shape, and form. Follow her - ilovegleek15 :)
I hate to say that it may be longer than usual for the next chapter to be finished, unless I miraculously finish it in the next three days. I'm leaving for camp at FSU for a week on Sunday and then another camp the week after, and I can't even begin to explain how tired I'll be during and after that. Geez, I'm doing too much this summer haha
Anyway, thanks for reading, and please please please shoot me a review and tell me what you think! :D 3
(I do NOT own Glee! If I did, well, I wouldn't lol)
PS. You should ALL buy and/or listen to Adam Lambert's album Trespassing. I've been listening to it for two days straight, and it's helped me stay focused on writing :) do it now!
Together We Are
Chapter 14
Back Again
"So everybody knows what their part is, right? And you all know the dances and lyrics?" Kimmy asked.
All the boys nodded.
"Great. You all need to be out front and waiting for the bus at nine thirty. If you're not there when we leave, you will not be going. Do you all understand?" Kimmy asked, eyeing them all.
Once again, all the boys nodded.
"Alright. You all go home and get plenty of rest, and I'll see you in the morning," Kimmy said, smiling at them. "Blaine, I need to see you."
"I'll be right out," Blaine said, squeezing Kurt's hand and then letting go.
"I'll be waiting," Kurt said, smiling.
Blaine smiled back and then walked to Kimmy. "What's up Kimmy?"
"There's someone who would like to talk to you about something," Kimmy said.
"Okay?" Blaine said slowly.
She pulled her phone out and dialed a number. "He's here, are you still sure about this?" After a pause she handed him the phone.
"Hello?" Blaine asked.
"Hey Blaine."
"Santana! Hi, what's up?"
A few minutes later, their plans were set, and they were both looking forward to the next day.
"Alright, I'll see you in the morning," Blaine said, hanging up and handing Kimmy the phone.
"You're sure about this? I mean I'm supportive of you and all, and I love what you're doing, but this is Ohio," Kimmy said slowly.
Blaine smiled. "I'm sure Kimmy. It's for him. I don't care what kind of crap they give me, or us for it."
Kimmy sighed. "Alright. Well, I'll see you in the morning then."
Blaine nodded and hugged her. "Yeah, see you tomorrow," he pulled back and turned to walk away. He turned back around and added. "Sis," he said, his smile growing even bigger.
Kimmy laughed and shook her head. "Goodbye Blaine."
Blaine laughed too, and then walked out to go find Kurt.
"Hi," Kurt said, standing up from where he was sitting on the floor, texting someone who Blaine assumed was Rachel.
"Hi," Blaine said, taking Kurt's hand and walking out of the building.
"So what did Kimmy want?" Kurt asked.
Blaine smiled. "Wouldn't you like to know."
"I would, yes," Kurt said, laughing.
"Well that's just too bad then," Blaine answered, leaning over to kiss him lightly as they walked.
"Hey now you two!" Jeff said, walking up to them with Nick at his side.
Blaine rolled his eyes. "Oh, like you two don't do it."
"Just not in public," Jeff answered.
Blaine's eyes got wide. "What? That's bullshit an you know it!"
Jeff laughed. "I don't know what you're talking about," he said, stopping to kiss Nick.
"You're an ass," Blaine said, shaking his head.
Jeff laughed again and continued walking.
Blaine went up to his room when they got back, and he sat down on his bed with his guitar.
A little while later, someone knocked on his door.
"Come in," Blaine said, not looking up from the piece of music he was reading.
Kurt opened the door and leaned up against it, waiting for Blaine to look up.
"Hey," Blaine said, finally noticing him.
"Hey," Kurt replied, closing the door behind him.
Blaine patted the bed next to him, moving all his music and setting down his guitar to make room.
As Kurt sat down, Blaine opened his arms and pulled him as close as he could. They leaned back against the wall together, enjoying the others company.
"Is everything okay?" Blaine asked quietly, brushing Kurt's hair away from his face gently.
Kurt sighed. "It's just that this is the first night before a competition that I haven't spent at Rachel's."
Blaine hugged him closer.
"She may be a pain in the ass sometimes, but I miss her," Kurt whispered.
"You can go see her anytime."
"I know, but it's not the same," Kurt answered, snuggling closer into Blaine.
"It's alright Kurt," Blaine said softly. "I'm here," he said, kissing him lightly.
Kurt smiled. "I know you are."
Blaine laughed quietly. "Good. And hey, you'll see her tomorrow at McKinley."
Kurt closed his eyes and relaxed.
"You're so adorable," Blaine whispered, leaning down to kiss his forehead.
Kurt smiled, not opening his eyes.
"It's late," Blaine said after a few minutes.
Kurt sighed. "I know."
"Do you want to stay here?"
"No, I- I'd rather go back to my room," Kurt said quietly.
Blaine nodded, getting up and walking with him to his room.
They laid down together on Kurt's bed, facing each other.
Blaine leaned forward and kissed his nose playfully.
Kurt laughed and poked Blaine's stomach.
Blaine placed his hand behind Kurt's neck and pulled his face close, kissing him.
Kurt was taken by surprise at how he kissed him, but kissed him back regardless.
Blaine moved so he was almost on top of him, his hand gripping Kurt's waist. He started lifting his T-shirt so his could rub his hands against his skin.
Kurt took a sharp breath and turned his head. "Stop. Please."
Blaine immediately stopped and moved off of him. "I'm sorry," he whispered.
"No, don't apologize," Kurt said quietly.
Blaine nodded and slowly wrapped his arms around Kurt and held him there. He looked down a few minutes later to find him asleep.
He got up slowly and pulled a blanket over him. He leaned down to kiss his hair and then turned off the light and closed the door behind him.
"Hey," Nick said, leaning against the wall outside his room, looking a little out of breath. "Is he okay?"
Blaine jumped a little. "Um, yeah. He's fine. What are you doing?"
"Nothing," Nick answered quickly.
Blaine shook his head and squeezed his eyes shut. "I'm going downstairs. Goodnight."
Nick smiled, hiding his hands behind his back. "Goodnight," he said cheerfully.
Blaine stared at him as if he were crazy for a moment, but then just walked towards the stairs.
Nick waited until he heard the door close downstairs to open his own door.
"What took so long?" Jeff asked from the bed.
"Blaine almost caught me," Nick said, walking over to the bed and crawling on top of him.
"So? It's Blaine. It wouldn't have mattered."
"I know," Nick whispered, leaning down to kiss him.
"Did you get it?" Jeff asked.
Nick stared at him. "You dare question my abilities? Of course I got it," he said, smiling and pulling out the small, square package.
Jeff smiled back and bit his bottom lip. He sat up so he could kiss him.
Nick took both of Jeff's hands, not breaking their kiss. He pushed him down on the bed, falling down on top of him and pinning him to the bed, ripping his shirt off as he did.
"I'll make some coffee," Nick said as they walked downstairs hand in hand the next morning.
"M'kay," Jeff mumbled.
"Whoa, Blaine," Nick said as they walked into the kitchen.
Blaine was passed out on a stool with his head laying on the counter and an empty bottle of Vodka sitting in front of him.
"What the hell?" Jeff asked.
"I thought you got rid of that," Nick said, gesturing to the bottle.
Jeff sighed. "Blaine," he said, shaking him.
"Mmmm," Blaine groaned, opening his eyes slowly. His hands immediately went to his head as he sat up.
"Yeah, I'd think so," Jeff said. "What the hell were you thinking?"
Blaine looked away. "Nothing."
"Blaine. What's wrong?" Jeff asked softly.
"I- I can't do this today. I can't go," Blaine said quietly.
"What are you talking about?"
Tears started streaming down Blaine's face. "What if he's there again?"
"Who? Blue?" Jeff asked.
Blaine nodded.
"Why didn't you come talk to me?" Jeff asked.
"I tried. But you weren't in your room and there was an open drawer and I saw the bottle, so I took it," Blaine said slowly.
Jeff sighed and looked up at Nick.
"Look at me," Jeff said.
Blaine lifted his head up slowly.
Jeff sighed again. "You're screwed."
"Oh, thanks," Blaine said, standing up. As he did, he almost fell over, but Nick and Jeff were quick to steady him.
Jeff watched him carefully before letting go of him.
Blaine took a deep breath and started walking to the stairs.
Once he was gone, Jeff turned to Nick.
"If last night hadn't happened, do you think he still would've been drinking?" Jeff asked.
"Jeff, this isn't your fault. You don't have a responsibility to him. He made his own choices," Nick said, taking his hand.
"I know," Jeff replied, reaching out to hug him.
"We should go get ready," Nick whispered.
"Mm, you're right," Jeff said, holding on to Nick tighter.
Nick laughed. "Come on," he said, prying Jeff's arms from him and took his hand, pulling him upstairs.
"Is something wrong with Blaine?" Kurt asked later that morning.
"Why?" Jeff asked.
"His door is locked and he's not answering."
"Oh, he left a few minutes ago to go find Kimmy."
"Oh," Kurt said quietly. "Is he okay though? He didn't come see me this morning."
"He's fine," Jeff lied.
Kurt didn't look convinced, but let it go.
"Come on Nick, it doesn't take that long to put sugar in coffee," Jeff said.
"Yes it does. Chill out," Nick said, walking out of the kitchen.
Jeff rolled his eyes. "Come on." He took Nick's hand and pulled him outside and towards the bus.
"Hey guys," Blaine greeted when they got to the bus. He was wearing dark sunglasses and was standing in the shade.
Jeff just shook his head. "Nice glasses," he commented, giving him a serious look and then getting on the bus with Nick.
Kurt was staring up at the bus. "This is your bus?" he asked, looking to Blaine.
Blaine laughed softly. "Yeah."
"Holy hell. We had to raise money just to take a regular school bus, and you guys have your own charter bus."
"Yeah, well, our tuition has to go for something," Blaine said quietly.
Kurt turned to him. "Are you okay? And what's with the glasses?"
"Nothing. I'm fine," Blaine said, smiling.
Kurt, once again, didn't look convinced. But he let Blaine take his hand and they got on the bus together, sitting across from Nick and Jeff.
When they got to McKinley, there was a group of the New Directions waiting for them.
Blaine got off the bus and took off his glasses so Santana, who was waiting for him, could see his face.
"Hey Blai- whoa," Santana said.
"That's what I said," Jeff said quietly, getting off after Blaine and walking past them and towards Puck.
"Santana please. Don't say anything, especially to Kurt," Blaine begged.
Santana nodded. "Yeah, of course. Come on, we need to rehearse and I can fix your, um, problem," she said, gesturing to his bloodshot eyes and dark circles.
"Awesome," Blaine said, putting his glasses back on just as Kurt walked up.
"Hey Santana, have you seen Rachel?" Kurt asked.
"Yeah, she's in the choir room with Mr. Shue," Santana said, smiling at him.
"Thanks, you coming Blaine?"
"Um, no, I have some things to take care of," Blaine said slowly.
"Okay, I'll see you later."
"Wait," Blaine said as he went to turn around.
Kurt turned back to him with his eyebrows raised.
Blaine pulled him close and kissed him.
Kurt was taken aback, but relaxed after a few seconds.
"Have fun," Blaine whispered when he pulled back.
Kurt laughed. "You too."
Blaine smiled and watched him walk.
"Hey Kurt," Finn said, hugging him. "Are you helping out with the per-"
"No! Finn! Shut up you idiot!" Santana said, running to him and punching his arm.
"Oh, my bad," Finn said. "It was good to see you bro."
"What the hell is wrong with everybody today?" Kurt asked, walking into the building.
"It's for him you dumb ass," Santana said.
"Oh, well that would've been bad."
"You think?" she asked, staring him down. "Come on Blaine."
Blaine followed her immediately, not wanting to try her temper.
"Hurry Blaine, we have to have our meeting," Kimmy said.
Blaine nodded and followed Santana inside.
"Rachel?" Kurt asked quietly.
"Kurt!" Rachel said, running to him and throwing her arms around him. "I've missed you so much!"
"I've missed you too," Kurt whispered.
"How are things with you?"
Kurt smiled. "Fantastic."
"What does that mean? Did you finally get with Blaine? We all know you like him," Rachel said sarcastically.
Kurt bit his lip to keep from laughing.
"Oh my god! You did!" She squealed and threw her arms around him again. She pulled back and punched his arm lightly.
"Hey! What was that for?"
"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" Rachel asked.
"Finn knew. He didn't tell you?"
Rachel looked away.
"Is something wrong?" Kurt asked.
"I just, don't know what's happening with us," Rachel said.
"Is it Quinn again?"
"Yeah."
"Well, I don't know if you have to worry about her," Kurt mumbled.
"What are you talking about?"
"Knock knock," Emma said, walking into the Spanish room, just as Santana finished covering up the dark lines under Blaine's eyes.
"Emma," Blaine said happily, standing up and walking to her to hug her.
"It's good to see you Blaine," Emma said.
Blaine smiled at her.
"Oh, I almost forgot," she said, walking to Will's desk and picking something up.
Blaine watched her and smiled when she came back with an envelope.
"I know it's late, but happy birthday," she said, handing him the card. "Finn told me about you and Kurt, so," she trailed off as he opened it.
Blaine smiled. "Dinner for two at Breadstix. This is sweet."
"I know it's not much, but-" she started.
"It's perfect," Blaine said, hugging her again.
"Okay, Ms. Pillsbury. I know you haven't seen him in a while, but we have to go rehearse," Santana said.
"Right, sorry. Good luck. I'll see you guys later," Emma said, and walked out.
"Let's do this," Santana said just as the rest of their group walked in.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome My Chemical Romance, to the stage," the announcer called.
Both the New Directions and the Warblers had taken their seats though Blaine, Santana, and the rest of their group had returned just as the group started singing.
"Where have you been?" Kurt whispered to Blaine.
Blaine just smiled and pretended like he couldn't hear him.
Jesus is a friend of mine
Jesus is my friend
Jesus is a friend of mine
I have a friend in Jesus
Jesus is a friend of mine
Jesus is my friend
Jesus is a friend of mine
He taught me how to live my life as it should be
He taught me how to turn my cheek when people laugh at me
I´ve had friends before and I can tell you that
He´s one who will never leave you flat!
Jesus is a friend of mine (Ah, ah, ah Jesus)
Jesus is my friend of mine
Friend of mine, friend of mine, friend of mine! Wow!
"Okay," Blaine said quietly.
As the song ended, the Warblers got up and walked back stage as directed by Finn and Puck who were ushers.
"Okay boys, go out there and have fun. That's what's important," Kimmy said.
They all nodded and headed to the stage to get ready.
Blaine pulled Kurt towards him and kissed him. "Good luck."
Kurt smiled and followed him on stage.
Blaine was staring at Kurt as they were announced, and he finally looked up as the curtains opened.
As the crowd cheered for something other than the Jesus music, Kurt stepped forward.
"Wow, he already has a solo," Rachel whispered to Finn.
"Well you know he deserves it."
The power lines went out
And I am all alone
But I don't really care at all
Not answering my phone
Blaine stepped forward then, surprising everyone, including Rachel.
All the games you played
The promises you made
Couldn't finish what you started
Only darkness still remains
Lost sight
Couldn't see
When it was you and me
Blow the candles out
Looks like a solo tonight
I'm beginning to see the light
Blow the candles out
Looks like a solo tonight
But I think I'll be alright
Been black and blue before
There's no need to explain
I am not the jaded kind
Playback's such a waste
You're invisible
Invisible to me
My wish is coming true
Erase the memory of your face
Lost sight
Couldn't see
When it was you and me
Blow the candles out
Looks like a solo tonight
I'm beginning to see the light
Blow the candles out
Looks like a solo tonight
But I think I'll be alright
They were clearly singing to each other, and a lot of the audience didn't seem to like it.
One day
You will wake up
With nothing but your sorries
And someday
You will get back
Everything you gave me
Blow the candles out
Looks like a solo tonight
I'm beginning to see the light
Blow the candles out (The candles out)
Looks like a solo tonight (Solo tonight)
But I think I'll be alright
Half the audience was on their feet, screaming loud enough so it made it seem like the whole room was, though more than half weren't.
Blaine stayed forward for the next song, and he seemed to be enjoying himself too much.
Right right, turn off the lights
We gonna lose our minds tonight
What's the dealio?
I love when it's all too much
5 AM turn the radio up
Where's the rock and roll?
Party crasher, panty snatcha'
Call me up if you are gangsta'
Don't be fancy, just get dancey
Why so serious?
So raise your glass if you are wrong
In all the right ways
All my underdogs, we will never be, never be
Anything but loud
And nitty gritty dirty little freaks
Won't you come on, and come on, and
Raise your glass
Just come on and come and
Raise Your Glass!
Blaine danced over to Kurt and spun him around.
Slam slam oh hot damn
What part of party don't you understand?
Wish you'd just freak out
Can't stop coming in hot
I should be locked up right on the spot
It's so on right now
Party crasher, panty snatcha'
Call me up if you a gangsta'
Don't be fancy, just get dancey
Why so serious?
So raise your glass if you are wrong In all the right ways
All my underdogs, we will never be, never be
Anything but loud
And nitty gritty dirty little freaks
Won't you come on, and come on, and
Raise your glass
Just come on and come and
Raise Your Glass!
Just come on and come on and
Raise your glass!
Just come on and come and
Raise your glass!
My glass is empty...that sucks!
Blaine kneeled down at the edge of the stage and reached out to Santana, who was sitting in the front row, and smiled.
So if you're too school for cool
And you're treated like a fool (treated like a fool)
You could choose to let it go
We can always, we can always
Party on our own...
So raise your
So raise your glass if you are wrong
In all the right ways
All my underdogs, we will never be, never be
Anything but loud
And nitty gritty dirty little freaks
So raise your glass if you are wrong In all the right ways
All my underdogs, we will never be never be!
Anything but loud
And nitty gritty dirty little freaks
Won't you come on! and come on! and
Raise your glass
Just come on and come and
Raise your glass
Won't you come on! and come on! and
Raise your glass
For me
Just come on and come and
Raise your glass
...for me
They all ran off stage, cheering and happy with their performance.
"You're amazing," Kurt whispered, leaning down to kiss Blaine.
Blaine laughed.
"Good job guys!" Will said, walking backstage with the New Directions.
"Thanks Will," Kimmy said as she walked past.
The Warblers walked out to their seats in the audience and waited for the performance to start.
"Okay, now whatever happens, if we win or lose, or if someone messes up or we do it perfectly, we are still winners and we are still a team," Will said, making eye contact with them all.
"Well, we all know about messing up don't we Quinn," Rachel said, staring at her.
Quinn stared at her in confusion.
"Oh, don't act like you don't know," Rachel said, glancing at Puck.
"Rachel, that's enough," Will said.
Quinn looked at her, horrified. "How do you know?"
With one last glare at Quinn, Rachel walked to the side of the stage.
"Whats going on?" Puck whispered to Quinn.
"Now, from right here in Lima Ohio, please welcome the McKinley High New Directions!"
Rachel walked out on stage and to the microphone.
What have I done?
I wish I could run,
Away from this ship going under
Just trying to help
Hurt everyone else
Now I feel the weight of the world is on my shoulders
"Oh my gosh, they're doing original songs," Kurt whispered to Blaine.
Blaine took his hand. "Is she okay?"
Kurt looked back at her, realizing that he was talking about the song she was singing.
What can you do when your good isn't good enough
And all that you touch tumbles down?
Cause my best intentions
Keep making a mess of things,
I just wanna fix it somehow
But how many times will it take?
Oh, how many times will it take for me to get it right, to get it right?
Can I start again, with my faith shaken?
Cause I can't go back and undo this
I just have to stay and face my mistakes,
But if I get stronger and wiser, I'll get through this
What can you do when your good isn't good enough?
And all that you touch tumbles down?
Cause my best intentions keep making a mess of things,
I just wanna fix it somehow
But how many times will it take?
Oh, how many times will it take for me to get it right?
So I throw up my fist, throw a punch in the air,
And accept the truth that sometimes life isn't fair!
Yeah, I'll send out a wish, yeah, I'll send up a prayer
And finally someone will see how much I care
What can you do when your good isn't good enough?
And all that you touch tumbles down?
Cause my best intentions keep making a mess of things,
I just wanna fix it somehow
But how many times will it take?
Oh, how many times will it take, to get it right?
To get it right?
"Ladies and gentlemen, the New Directions," Rachel said, as the rest of the group came out on stage.
Yeah, you may think that I'm a zero
But, hey, everyone you wanna be
Probably started off like me
You may say that I'm a freakshow (I don't care)
But, hey, give me just a little time
I bet you're gonna change your mind
All of the dirt you've been throwin' my way
It ain't so hard to take, that's right
'Cause I know one day you'll be screamin' my name
And I'll just look away, that's right
Just go ahead and hate on me and run your mouth
So everyone can hear
Hit me with the worst you got and knock me down
Baby, I don't care
Keep it up and soon enough you'll figure out
You wanna be
You wanna be
A loser like me
A loser like me
Kurt looked over at Sue, who looked like she knew the song was directed towards her. He made eye contact with Rachel and laughed.
Blaine looked at him with his eyebrows raised.
"It's about time someone did this to her," Kurt said to him, still laughing. He pointed to Sue.
Blaine looked to where Kurt pointed and saw one of the ladies that he sat with at sectionals.
Push me up against the locker
And hey, all I do is shake it off
I'll get you back when I'm your boss
I'm not thinkin' 'bout you haters
'Cause hey, I could be a superstar
I'll see you when you wash my car
All of the dirt you've been throwin' my way
It ain't so hard to take, that's right
'Cause I know one day you'll be screamin' my name
And I'll just look away, that's right
Just go ahead and hate on me and run your mouth
So everyone can hear
Hit me with the worst you got and knock me down
Baby, I don't care
Keep it up and soon enough you'll figure out
You wanna be
You wanna be
A loser like me
A loser like me
A loser like me
Blaine suddenly remembered why he had been drinking last night, and he started looking around.
Kurt turned towards him and took his other hand. "Are you okay?" he asked softly.
Jeff looked over at them and saw the look of panic on Blaine's face and immediately started looking around. When he didn't see anything, he stood up and took the empty seat on the other side of him.
"Blaine, look at me," Jeff said. "He's not here, calm down."
Blaine took a deep breath and turned back to the stage.
Just go ahead and hate on me and run your mouth
So everyone can hear
Hit me with the worst you got and knock me down
Baby, I don't care
Keep it up and soon enough you'll figure out
You wanna be
You wanna be
A loser like me
A loser like me
Just go ahead and hate on me and run your mouth
So everyone can hear
Hit me with the worst you got and knock me down
Baby, I don't care
Keep it up and soon enough you'll figure out
You wanna be
You wanna be
A loser like me (A loser like me)
A loser like me (A loser like me)
A loser like me
When the song ended, everyone was on their feet.
Kurt was still watching Blaine in concern.
Blaine looked at Kimmy and nodded.
"Is everything okay?" Kimmy asked as they walked down the isle and to the door that led to backstage.
Kurt stood watching them in confusion.
"Yeah, I was just, um, thinking about last time," Blaine answered quietly.
Kimmy nodded.
"Hey Blaine," Coop said, running to them.
"Coop!" Blaine said happily, reaching up to hug him.
"Are you alright? You looked like you were having a panic attack earlier," Coop said as they pulled back.
"I'm fine," he said simply.
"Come on, don't lie to me," Coop said.
Blaine sighed. "I'll tell you later, but I have to go."
"Go? Go where?" Coop asked.
Blaine smiled and turned to Kimmy. "You didn't tell him?"
"Of course not, I wanted him to be surprised too," Kimmy said.
Blaine rolled his eyes. "Let's go," he said. "I'll see you in a few Coop."
"Okay," Coop said, confused.
"Coop, come on. I think you'll want to see this," Jasper said, walking up to him and taking his hand.
"So you know? Great, thanks," Coop said, following him back to their seats.
Backstage, Kimmy looked at Will and nodded. He handed her a microphone and they walked out on stage together.
"Good afternoon," Will started. "I'm Will Schuester, coach of the New Directions."
"And I'm Kimmy Reagan, coach of the Warblers," Kimmy said. "We hope you've enjoyed all of the performances so far, and we have a little entertainment for you all while our judges deliberate."
"This past week, one of my students had an idea and brought one of Kimmy's students into her idea. So, without further ado, please welcome Ms. Santana Lopez joined by a few members of the New Directions," Will said.
"And Mr. Blaine Anderson, the captain of the Warblers," Kimmy finished.
Together Kimmy and Will ran off the stage and Finn, Sam, and Puck came out. Finn sat down at the drums and Puck and Sam both picked up guitars.
Santana ran out by herself and stepped forward to sing.
Every night I walked the streets
Never dreaming what could happen
Sad and so lonely
I saw in the mirror my reflection
Staring back at me
I thought, will I ever find what I need?
But I'll wear that dress if you wear the tie
And baby we'll dance through the night
Cuz no one's got what we've got going
Happiness never held on to me
Until you had me see
That together we're just better off
Santana wasn't clearly singing to anybody, though she glanced at Brittany from time to time.
Blaine walked out on stage, looking right at Kurt as he started singing.
Oh my heart's been tried
Time and again
Always thought that it was me but
I see now just how wrong I was
No, I haven't known you for a lifetime
But somehow I've never been more sure that you're for me
Baby please
Don't leave, just come and dance with me tonight
Blaine ran off the stage and straight to Kurt. He took his hand and looked right at him, spinning him around.
But I'll wear that dress if you wear the tie
And baby we'll dance through the night
Cuz no one's got what we've got going
Happiness never held on to me
Until you had me see
That together we're just better off
Don't be cruel to me
Oh, I've wanted more
And I've been wrong before
So much learning to lose
But you're not a day too soon
So say you feel the same and
We'll never be lonely anymore
All eyes were on the two of them, though neither of them seemed to care. Not even as he ran back on stage to meet Santana, did the glares bother Blaine.
I'll wear that dress if you wear the tie
And baby we'll dance through the night
Cuz no one's got what we've got going
Happiness never held on to me
Until you had me see
That together we're just better off
I'll wear that dress if you wear the tie
And baby we'll dance through the night
Cuz no one's got what we've got going
Happiness never held on to me
Until you had me see
That together we're just better off We're just better off
I'll wear that dress
I'll wear that tie
And well just dance through the night
Tonight tonight tonight
Tonight
When the song ended, Blaine jumped off the stage and Kurt met him halfway down the isle.
Blaine reached up and wrapped his arms around Kurt's neck and Kurt wrapped his around Blaine's waist.
They smiled at each other and Blaine kissed him sweetly.
Santana smiled and then gestured for Brittany to go backstage and then she disappeared off stage.
Finn had run straight to Rachel and kissed her. They were now talking, clearly working things out, right in front of Quinn, who looked hurt.
"If all teams could please meet backstage," the announcer said. "Our judges are ready."
"Let's go," Blaine whispered, finally letting go of him.
Kurt smiled at Rachel as they walked past.
"So who was Santana singing to? I was hoping we would find out," Blaine heard Finn ask Rachel.
"I have no idea," Rachel said quietly.
They don't know, Blaine thought to himself.
Santana ran up to Blaine and hugged him. "That was awesome!"
"Yeah it was!" Blaine said excitedly. Then leaned down to whisper in her ear. "They don't know about you and Brittany?"
Santana pulled back. "No, they don't."
Blaine nodded and smiled. "Someday," he said quietly.
Santana smiled back and then walked over to Brittany.
"Blaine!" Coop called, running back stage.
Blaine smiled and reached up to hug Coop again as he walked over to them.
"That was so sweet," Coop said as they pulled back.
Blaine laughed as his face turned pink, and he took Kurt's hand.
"Um, Blaine?" Kurt asked slowly, looking up at Coop.
"Oh, right. Coop, this is Kurt, my boyfriend," Blaine said, smiling as he said the word. "Kurt, this is Coop, my brother."
Kurt smiled and reached his hand out to shake his hand, but Coop just pulled him into a hug.
Blaine laughed and shook his head.
"Hey now," Jasper said, walking up behind Coop.
Coop laughed and let go of Kurt, taking Jasper's hand.
Blaine walked to Jasper and gave him a quick hug too. Then he looked to Kurt. "This is Jasper, Kimmy's brother and Coop's boyfriend."
Kurt smiled at them.
"Hey guys, come on," Kimmy said, walking over to them.
"Hey Kim, nice speech," Jasper said, smiling at her.
Kimmy smirked at him. "Thanks."
Jasper laughed and looked at Coop. "Let's go sit."
"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome our three teams back to the stage," the announcer said.
All three groups walked back out along with their coaches and the three judges.
"Let me just say, it's been a pleasure doing this," one of the judges said. "So, without further ado, third place goes to." He stopped, opening the envelope. "My Chemical Romance."
The group walked off stage, a little shocked.
"And in first place, the team that will be going to New York to compete in nationals." He paused again, opening the envelope. "The New Directions!"
The audience went crazy, along with the New Directions.
The Warblers weren't too upset, and they were all happy for their friends.
Kurt ran to hug Rachel and Blaine ran to hug Santana.
"Congrats man," Jeff said to Puck, shaking his hand.
"Hey Kurt," Quinn said quietly, walking up to him and Rachel.
Kurt turned around and his smile faded when he saw her.
"Kurt, please?" Quinn begged.
"Please what Quinn? What do you want from me?" Kurt shouted.
Everyone on the stage turned to look at him.
"No, Kurt. Not here," Blaine said quietly, walking to him and taking his hand to pull him back from her.
"Why not? This is the perfect place. I think they should all know!" Kurt shouted again, gesturing to the New Directions.
"Kurt, please don't," Quinn said, crying now.
"Quinn, what's going on?" Puck asked.
Quinn completely ignored him. She was staring at Kurt in desperation.
Blaine stayed next to Kurt, rubbing his back gently, trying to calm him down.
"You know what, fine. This isn't for me to tell," Kurt said, taking a deep breath. "But he deserves to know." He pointed to Puck.
Quinn sighed in relief. "Can you please forgive me? Please Kurt?"
Kurt shook his head slowly. "No, I can't. I'm sorry," he said quietly, walking off stage with Blaine following behind him.
"Quinn, what the hell is he talking about?" Puck asked again.
She looked away.
By this time, the auditorium was empty, except for the kids still on stage.
Quinn looked out to all the empty seats and through the empty doors. She gasped when she saw the familiar face.
"Oh my god," she whispered.
Jeff looked up when she said that and he followed her gaze. "Oh shit," he said.
"What?" Nick asked.
Jeff pointed down to where he was looking.
"Damn it. How does he always find us?" Nick asked. "We have to go find Blaine."
They both ran of the stage to find Kurt and Blaine.
"Hi Quinn, long time no see," Sebastian said, walking into the auditorium.
Quinn backed up slowly, running into David.
David pulled her behind him.
Sebastian smiled. "David, my good friend. I'd never hurt her."
"And why should I believe that? I saw what you did to Blaine,"David said.
"Quinn means much more to me than Blaine does," Sebastian said.
"Well, Louis will be happy to hear that," David said sarcastically.
"Don't get smart with me David, you know where that will get you," Sebastian warned.
"Wait," Puck said, holding a hand up. "Will someone please tell me what's going on."
Sebastian looked at Quinn. "This is Puck I presume."
Quinn nodded.
"Oh, so much you don't know," Sebastian said.
"You've done enough here Sebastian, please stop," David begged.
Just then, Kurt and Blaine came running back in.
Kurt stopped in his tracks and backed behind Blaine when he saw him.
"Hi Kurt, how are you?" Sebastian asked sweetly.
Kurt took Blaine's hand and held on to it, not looking at him.
"And Blaine, nice to see that your wounds have healed," Sebastian said, pointing to the scar on his face.
Blaine's hand moved to his face to rub the scar.
Sebastian smiled. "You asked for it."
"Will someone please explain to us what's happening?" Finn asked, looking at the two terrified boys.
"I'd like to know the same thing," Kimmy said, walking back out on stage with Nick and Jeff who both walked to stand beside Kurt and Blaine. "You were all supposed to be-" She stopped when she saw Sebastian. "Oh."
"Hi Kimmy," Sebastian greeted.
Kimmy walked to the front of the stage, looking down at him. "Look, Sebastian, I've tried everything I could to keep you out of these kids' lives. There's nothing left for me to do. This isn't funny. This isn't a game. Yet for some odd reason you think it is. We've all lost enough, please leave, and don't come back."
Sebastian nodded and then looked at Quinn again. "You should really tell him. It's not fair to him." He pointed at Puck.
Quinn looked away.
"I loved you Quinn," Sebastian said quietly. And with that, he turned and ran out of the room.
"Quinn?" Puck asked softly. He had started to put the pieces together.
"Are you guys okay?" Kimmy asked, walking to Kurt and Blaine.
Blaine looked up at her, not saying anything.
"He's the reason that Dan..." she trailed off as Blaine nodded, letting the tears fall. He turned around and hugged Kurt, who let him start crying.
Jeff but his lip to keep from crying too. He took Nicks hand and gently rubbed Blaine's back with the other.
"Shh, it's okay," Kurt whispered.
Quinn watched them for a moment and then looked up at Puck. She took his hand and pulled him off the stage.
"Hey Kimmy, have you- Blaine, what happened?" Coop asked, walking straight to him.
Kimmy stopped him. "Don't," she mouthed.
Coop nodded and moved back to Jasper, taking his hand again.
"Can we go?" Kurt whispered to Kimmy.
She nodded and gestured for all the boys to head to the bus.
"Congratulations New Directions, good luck at Nationals," Kimmy said, smiling at them and following all the boys out to the bus.
Kurt pulled Blaine onto the bus and they sat down together.
Blaine laid his head down on Kurt's shoulder and pulled his knees up on the seat in front of him as Kurt did the same.
Kurt put his hand on Blaine's leg and pulled him closer.
Blaine scooted as close as he could and took his hand, intertwining their fingers and arms.
"Are you alright?" Kurt asked softly.
"I can't do this much longer," Blaine whispered.
"I know," Kurt replied. "But we'll get through this, okay?"
Blaine nodded.
"Hey," Kurt whispered. "Look at me."
Blaine turned his head so his lips were inches from Kurt's.
Kurt closed the distance between them, kissing him gently.
Their lips moved together and Blaine squeezed Kurt's hand, trying to control himself.
Kurt pulled back a little and laughed lightly.
Blaine smiled. "Do you still have those butterflies?" he asked, his hand sliding across Kurt's leg.
Kurt took a shaky breath, not answering.
Blaine's smile got bigger and he leaned in to kiss him again, softer and sweeter than before.
Kurt pulled back as Blaine's hand slid up his thigh.
Blaine stopped, watching him, but not moving his hand away. "Better?" he asked softly.
"Not at all," Kurt whispered.
Blaine smiled and squeezed his hand. He kept staring at him, still not moving his hand.
After a few minutes Kurt took a deep breath and nodded slightly. "Better," he said quietly, leaning in so he could kiss him again, placing his own hand on Blaine's leg.
Blaine sighed contently and laid his head down on Kurt's shoulder again.
When they pulled up to Dalton, Kurt and Blaine walked back to their room together.
They sat down on the couch in the living room and Blaine turned on the tv to a random channel and then turned to Kurt.
Kurt smiled at him. He laid his hand on the side of Blaine's face, stroking his cheek with his thumb.
Blaine closed his eyes and relaxed into Kurt's touch.
There was a soft knock on the door and Dustin peeked in.
"Hey guys," he said. "I didn't mean to interrupt, but I'm just letting you know that instead of campfire, we're having a movie night."
Blaine smiled. "Sweet, just as long as it doesn't end like last time."
Dustin laughed. "Not on my watch."
"Thanks Dustin," Blaine said, rolling his eyes as the door closed.
"What happened last time?" Kurt asked curiously.
"Oh, well, no one was agreeing on a movie, and Brian and Cam were fighting over it. And Cam was sitting next to Lexi and she reached out and grabbed the DVDs that they had and she broke them both. It was absolutely hilarious," Blaine said, smiling at the memory.
Kurt laughed. "She's so cute."
Blaine nodded in agreement. "I'm gonna go change and then go downstairs. Okay?"
"Wait," Kurt said quietly.
Blaine raised his eyebrows.
Kurt slid closer to him and took his hand. He leaned in to kiss him and them pulled back, moving Blaine's hand to his leg again.
Blaine smiled slightly and put his other hand there as well. He sat up a little and leaned over to kiss him.
Kurt tensed up as he did and parted his lips, sliding his tongue into Blaine's mouth.
Blaine moaned slightly, moving his hands farther up Kurt's thighs.
Kurt started kissing him harder and moaned in response.
"No, no, please," Blaine said softly, pulling back. "Too much."
"I'm sorry," Kurt whispered.
"No, it's okay. I just, I can't," Blaine mumbled.
Kurt nodded. "It's okay. I understand."
"I'm sorry," Blaine said.
Kurt smiled. "It's okay," he said, leaning forward to kiss him again.
Blaine sighed. "Let's go." He pulled him up and they walked upstairs together.
An hour later, they hadn't decided on a movie yet, but they weren't fighting, which was progress in Blaine's book.
Kurt was leaning against the couch with his arms wrapped around Blaine, who was sitting in between his legs.
They finally decided on one of the Ice Age movies and everyone sat down to watch it.
Blaine leaned his head back to look at Kurt and smiled.
Kurt smiled back and leaned down to kiss him gently.
"Hey now you two," Brian said, laughing.
"You're just jealous," Blaine said, smirking and then leaning back to kiss Kurt again.
Brian laughed and shook his head.
A few minutes later, Jeff's phone rang.
Nick and Jeff were sitting the same way Kurt and Blaine were so it took Jeff a minute to get his phone out. He was laughing at how Nick wouldn't move and Nick was laughing at how long it took him.
Dustin had stopped the movie and everyone else was laughing too.
Both Nick and Jeff's smiles disappeared when they saw the number on the screen.
"Hey, what's up?" Jeff asked carefully.
There was a pause, and everyone had gotten quiet.
"Wait, what are you talking about?" Jeff asked quickly.
Nick looked up in concern and took his hand.
"Well how did that happen?"
Blaine looked over at Jeff and caught his eye.
"Puck, just calm down, okay?"
"I can't man, I have to find her. I don't care that it's not my kid, I don't care that she lied. I just have to find her," Puck said.
"Okay, I'll be there soon," Jeff said, hanging up the phone.
"What's wrong?" Blaine asked immediately.
Jeff didn't say anything for a minute, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"Jeff. What happened?" Blaine asked seriously.
Jeff opened his eyes and looked at him. "It's Quinn. She's missing."
