Tina stood completely still on the stage, frozen with a mix of shock and horror. They had... lost at Sectionals.
That had never happened before in the history of the New Directions.
Now, however the Warblers had beat them. Blaine had beat them. Tina felt a quick flash of anger; surely, had Blaine been preforming with them, then they would have won.
But he deserted them. Blaine left them to join the people that had nearly blinded them And what had they done? They had tried to hep him in any possible, and they had tried to get him to come back, to where he belonged.
Tina couldn't help but think that they had been wasting their time. Blaine hadn't ever even considered moving back. They had wasted precious time on Blaine and lost because of it. And, honestly, Tina didn't even think it was worth it. What had Blaine ever done for them?
He'd come from Dalton for a year, and he had been close to Kurt. They had been nice to him because of Kurt, and that was that.
And then Blaine cheated on Kurt, cheated on one of Glee's original members. Of course they were angry with him.
Blaine had run from his problems at McKinley, but of course, he had once said that that's all he ever does.
Tina was inclined to believe him. After all, she'd never really even seen Blaine stand up for himself. Even the issue with the steroids! Everyone else had thought Blaine was so amazing for not taking them and training his little group, when, in the end, he had ignored the problem with his other teammates.
Looking around her team, Tina saw disappointment and sadness etched on all of their faces. Her eyes met Marley who was nearly in tears.
She still looked too thin. After all, one real meal wasn't going to actually change anything. Blaine had been the one to tell her something was wrong.
Why had he done that? After all, New Directions would have been worse if Marley had been exhausted. That was what Blaine wanted. He had wanted them to lose.
Tina whipped her head around to glare at Blaine. When she saw him, she saw that his gaze was focused solely on the New Directions, within the New Directions. She glanced sideways and saw that he was staring at Sam.
Of course he was. Blaine still called Sam a friend, and Sam had tried so hard to "help" him, not that he truly needed it.
Sam's eyes were locked on Blaine's and both were wearing strange expressions. They were looking at each other sadly, but there was also something else in there eyes that Tina couldn't identify.
She knew that she had seen Blaine wearing that expression before but when?
As she watched, also glaring, Blaine blushed a bit and turned away. At first, the only thing Tina noticed was that his one cheek was a bit redder than the other, though both were rapidly getting darker. His cheek also looked a bit swollen as if he had been hit, but that was crazy.
Who would hit Blaine Perfect Anderson? Then she noticed something else from his blush,something that was much more interesting.
No... It couldn't be... Blaine seemed to have a little crush.
And from the look in Sam's eyes, it wasn't one-sided.
Oh, she could have fun with this. Blaine had messed up her only chance, as a senior, to win Nationals.
He would pay for that.

Blaine walked off the stage with a bounce in his steps, surrounded by Warblers. They looked elated,even Hunter and obviously felt the ecstasy of preforming.
He loved it. Even when things went wrong, he still felt the rush of adrenaline that nothing else seemed to give him.
Blaine knew that they had been amazing, and even with the mess-up, they had still won.
The Warblers were going to Regionals! They hadn't done that last year. It hurt Blaine that most of the group thought they needed drugs to do it, but now that they had some time before Regionals, he could convince them not to use the steroids. After all, the New Directions (poor Sam) were now out of the picture.
They were going to do great this year, just like every other. Blaine felt a bit guilty for beating the New Directions, and consequently, some of his old friends.
However, it was a competition. He had beat many more of his friends last year, competing against the Warblers, even though they hadn't really been friends at that point.
Backstage, Hunter motioned for them to stop and huddle up.
"Okay," he said quietly. "We won. Barely. An unforgivable mistake was made tonight, and I do take some of the blame for it..."
"What do you mean?" someone said from behind Blaine. Blaine felt a shiver run don his back. Hunter was glaring fiercely at him. He was almost... scared, but that was ridiculous, right?
Holding a hand to his slightly swollen cheek, Blaine knew that it was ridiculous. Hunter had some insane 'roid rages.
"I let some people with sub-standard routines into the Warblers. We can't afford something like that happening again."
There were some murmured sounds of agreement. Blaine, slightly nervous, met Trent and David's eyes.
"That's why, next Warbler Meeting, you take the 'roids, or you leave. Take your choice."
"But-" Trent protested, eyes wide. Hunter silenced him with a glare.
"We tried this out, and I gave you a chance. You failed. Make your decisions."
"I - I'll do it," David said quietly. "Blaine, Trent, I'm sorry, but I can't lose the Warblers."
He hobbled away from Blaine to stand at Hunter's side.
"I'm out," Trent whispered. "I can't; I'm sorry. Blaine?"
"Blaine looked between Trent and Hunter. He didn't know what to do. Singing was his anchor; he couldn't just stop singing, but he also didn't want to take the drugs.
"I - I," he stuttered. Trent looked shocked that he was even considering doing them.
"I'll do it."

Hey. guys! I hope you like this chapter! I think that it's starting to get pretty crazy. What do you think? Will Blaine actually take the steroids? What's Tina going to do?
Please review!
Thanks to all my old reviewers!
