Michael came out of the shower dried himself off and wondered if Blake was back yet from his mentoring session. He put on his boxers and a white shirt and went to the dorm. He found Blake already fast asleep. He was still fully dressed he didn't even take off his sneakers.

Blake just laid there on the bed facing up with his arms and legs spread out as if he was making a snow angel on a nice untouched sheet of snow. Michael couldn't help but stare at him. Blake's usually perfectly done hair was spread out around his head like a paper fan. He looked as if he came into the room and just did a trust fall on the bed. Michael wanted to ask him about his one on one mentoring session with Darren but he looked so peaceful sleeping that it would be a crime to wake him up. Lucky for us Michael was feeling mischievous.

Michael closed the door and slowly made his way to Blake's bed. He started untying Blake's shoelaces and slowly removes his sneakers. He put the sneakers on the floor and then reached up Blake's jeans and rolled his socks off one at a time. Michael's hands were shaking and his heart was racing. He was scared that Blake would wake up, but at the same time that is what he wanted.

Blake did not move he was out cold. Michael saw as Blake's chest rose up and then back down with each breath that he took. He wanted to feel Blake's skin next to his, to look into his eyes and to taste his lips once again. Michael leaned down towards Blake's face and kissed him. At that moment Blake regained consciousness but he did not move he didn't even open his eyes. Blake just laid there as Michael kissed him. Michael pulled away and walked to his bed. Blake wanted to reach out and grab him, to stop him from going, but he didn't because he had already made up his mind. He wanted to win The Glee Project and he will do whatever it takes to win.

It was now morning and Blake and Michael continued acting like nothing was going on between them. Today the remaining contenders had to record vocals with Nikki. Michael usually struggles in the recording studio but today he did great! Nikki was even impressed. Michael used the kiss from the night before as inspiration and was amazing. But Blake struggled.

Blake had been flawless throughout the competition but now he was struggling in the recording studio. He thought of Michael and how he kissed him awake last night. No! He told himself. I have to stay focused. Blake decided to build a wall between him and Michael. He wanted to keep his feelings locked up and Michael away. Blake for the first time was over-thinking things and it was messing him up.

The next day they had to shoot the music video for "We Found Love". Michael yet again did great! Blake managed to redeem himself from the day before. Once the video wrapped all they could do was wait and hope that their performance this week was good enough to get them called back.

The next day elimination day was finally here, Ali, Aylin, Blake, Lily, Michael and Shanna stood there waiting for Robert, Nikki and Zack to announce the bottom three. Ali and Lily were called back first which just left four contenders Aylin, Blake, Michael, and Shanna. One of them was safe the other three would have to do a last chance performance.

"Blake you will do a last chance performance for Ryan". Michael's heart stopped he was in shock! He was expecting himself to be in the bottom three this week, not Blake. He was happy that he was safe and understood that just because you're in the bottom three doesn't mean you will automatically go home. Blake still has a chance to impress Ryan and stay in the competition, but even the potential of Blake leaving was hard for him to swallow. Michael walked off and Blake smiled at him as he did.

Blake was more confused than ever before, he did feel like he did mess up in the studio with Nikki and therefore belonged in the bottom three but he did not want to go home. He even distanced himself from Michael so that he could stay focused and win. But distancing himself away from Michael only made things worse and now he was in the bottom three and he might end up going home. The wall he built to keep Michael out was now keeping Blake in. He felt trapped and saw no way out. All he can do is sing, and sing he did.

Meanwhile Michael is in his room freaking out. He doesn't want Blake to go home. Things have been awkward between them but he knew that it could all be sorted out if they just had a chance to talk it over, alone. Michael noticed that Blake has been pulling away from him he didn't understand why. But now that Blake was at risk of going home he regrets not spending more time with him.

A few hours later Aylin, Blake and Shanna returned. Michael looked at Blake and Blake looked at Michael. Their eyes locked, and Michael could see into Blake's eyes like open doors, that were leading him down into his core, where he'd become so numb. Michael just wanted to hug him but he could tell Blake was still pulling away. So Michael used all of his strength to stop himself from leaping into Blake's arms and kissing him.

They waited, and waited, then Blake said something that sliced Michael's heart open.

"I just want you guys to know that getting to know you guys was awesome. You are my best friends." These words brought tears to everyone's eyes. Michael had never seen Blake like this, he was always telling everyone to keep on going. But now it was as if he had completely given up.

Robert then walks in and tells them the list is up. As usual the safe contenders wish the bottom three contenders luck and give them a big hug. They walk up to the list one at a time Blake was called back. He was so happy but the first thing that popped into his head was Michael and how he now has the chance to spend another week with him. Shanna was the one not called back.

The night resumed it was full of tears and good byes. Shanna was now gone and so were the cameras. The girls were in bed crying themselves to sleep. Blake was looking at the cheese lamp in the room where Robert; at the beginning of the week would give them the theme of the week and the homework assignment, and at the end of the week the name of the person who would go home. All the lights with the exception of the cheese lamp were off.

Michael walked in the room

"Blake are you okay man?" Michael asked.

At that moment Blake let out one single tear that slid down his cheek and straight down towards the floor. As soon as it hit the floor the walls that Blake had put up to keep Michael away came tumbling down. They didn't put up a fight; they didn't even make a sound. Once they were completely gone Blake found a way to let Michael in.

"Blak..." Michael started but before he can even finish saying Blake's name Blake was already holding him tightly in his arms.

Blake kisses Michael on the lips and Michael kisses him back. Blake pulls off Michael's shirt and throws it. The shirt landed on the cheese lamp covered some holes, dimming the light in the room and then Blake whispered into Michael's ear

"I Love You."
