A/N: so here's finally a new chapter. I am sorry it's taking me so long to write but yeah… so enjoy! Xx Chapter 17. 'I'm so excited' Lucy says smiling as she plays with the lacy of her dress. Kurt parks the car on the parking lot and when they get out they all follow Blaine to a tiny door on the left side of the building. He opens the door by typing in a code of four numbers. He walks inside and opens the first door on the left which leads to the changing rooms. And then they're greeted by a lot of people. 'Blaine!' 'Audrey' he says smiling as the girl hugs him. 'Make some space' 'Wes' Blaine says still smiling as he recognises the voice. After a few more greetings including a hug of Rachel everyone is quiet. 'So this is Lucy' Blaine says as he softly pushes her forward to a group of girls who immediately start "awing" 'And this is Kurt' a few people start to whistle but Blaine quiets them. And then there's a new voice. 'Hey you guys my favourite student is back' 'It's not fair to favour people Mrs. Smith' Blaine says and she smiles when she sees him. 'Oh Blainey how I missed you' oh great now she is starting too... Thanks Rachel. So we still have an hour and since everyone already is in their costumes we can d o something nice. Oh and you're wearing white, good' she says and winks at Rachel. She turns to Lucy. 'So Lucy I heard you'd like to take a look backstage am I right?' 'Yes miss' Lucy says shyly. 'Please call me Sam I prefer that above Mrs. Smith and far above Samantha' she says and makes a face as if she tasted something awful which makes Lucy giggle. 'Okay Sam' 'Audrey, Amy can you take Lucy to show her everything? And don't forget about the stage' Lucy eyes light up at that words and Sam smiles. 'Is that okay with you Lucy?' 'More than okay' she says smiling brightly. 'Guys where is Alex?' Sam suddenly asks. 'I haven't seen him yet, maybe he's just late' one of the girls answers. Sam frowns 'strange. So Blaine, Kurt would you like to see the decor?' 'You used my sketches?' Blaine says as he looks at the decor in awe. 'Yeah we all agreed on it that this way you are still a little with us' Kurt looks at the decor 'I didn't even know you could draw' 'there are more thing people don't know about our Blainey' Sam says to Kurt. 'also I think I missed your introduction Kurt' 'I didn't introduce my-' Sam interrupts him while smiling. 'tell me something about yourself' 'well my name is-' 'Mrs. Smith I'm sorry for interrupting you guys but Alex still didn't show up and it's opening night and we start in less than an hour. It was the same girl as be fore, Kurt noticed and she was really panicking because of a certain somehow most likely called Alex who wasn't there. 'What role is he playing?' Blaine asks. 'Teen angel, I know that isn't an all too big role but it is a role with a song so he needs to come. She turns back to the girl. 'Have you tried to call him?' 'yes six times already but he isn't picking up we're only getting his voicemail' 'shit, who's the understudy?' 'We don't have an understudy for that role Mrs. Smith' 'For god's sake call me Sam. Okay uhm gather everyone in the hall and then we'll try to find a solution' she nods and runs away. 'oh I don't think I forgot abo ut that introduction Kurt' she says smirking and then skips off to the hallway. Ten minutes later everyone is gathered and yelling and panicking in the hallway because Alex is not answering his cell phone. 'Okay who of you guys can take over Alex' role?' There's silence. 'Serious guys?' 'I can do it if I change really quickly' Wes says. 'Yeah really quick as in ten seconds Wes, that's not possible. Someone else? Please guys it's a tiny role you can learn the lyrics in five minutes. 'David?' 'But the song' 'oh right sorry I forgot' she looks desperate and then her gaze rests on Blaine. 'Blaine?' He feels that everyone is staring at him, he can't disappoint them they've rehearsed so long for this and now because Alex isn't coming the whole show would be cancelled or go wrong and it's the opening night. 'Okay I'll do it' he says but the second he said it he regrets it but no one notices since they all erupted in cheers. 'What should I wear?' Sam looks at Rachel who smiles and Blaine furrows an eyebrow at that interaction. 'What you're wearing is okay' Sam says and Blaine looks suspiciously at her. 'Okay guys let's keep going, twenty minutes. Blaine come with me I'll get you someone to help you with your lyrics' and then her gaze rests on Kurt who is looking at Blaine. 'Kurt can you help Blaine?' Kurt's a little taken aback ay the question but he answers positive 'sure' She smiles 'good. For as far as I know Alex' stuff is in changing room number six' 'okay' is all Blaine says and then he drags Kurt along to room number six. Blaine picks up a paper on the front are some scrabbles, probably written by Alex. And on the back are the lyrics to the song. Blaine scans the lines and repeats them in his head. He hands the paper to kurt. 'Okay I think I know the lyrics, try me' Kurt's surprised by this but then he realises that Grease is Blaine's favourite musical so it isn't that weird that he knows the lyrics. Kurt smiles and nods for Blaine to start but just then there's a knock on the door. 'Blaine Mrs. Smith wants you to come, she wants to practise the song with back up' 'but I-' Blaine is interrupted by the girl as she almost begs for him to come. He quickly looks at Kurt who still holds the paper. The girl shrugs and gives him an apologetic look before leaving again. 'God Kurt I'm sorry it's all so hectic I didn't plan on this I just thought we would go backstage and that I'd show you and Lucy the stage and costumes and that we would go to our places after' 'it's okay don't be sorry, I like it and I'm sure Lucy is already happy that she's here.' Blaine sighs softly and then looks at Kurt while gesturing to follow him. 'Ah there you are' Sam says as they appear in the hallway 'come with me' she says as she drags both of them along to the stage. 'Okay' she says and starts the music. As the intro passed she looks expectantly at Blaine who gets the hint and start singing while still holding the paper with the lyrics even though he actually knows them by heart because well grease is his favourite musical. After they practised the song a few times Sam is happy with the result and stops them. 'Great, you were great Blaine, god I'm so glad you're playing' she says smiling. She looks at her watch 'okay guys off the stage the doors open in ten minutes, hurry' she says and everyone quickly goes back backstage. 'Rach finally' Blaine says as he passes her in the hallway. 'Hi how are you? Great you're playing along, I'm proud of you, break a leg, I have to go bye Blaine see you soon at stage or no not at stage we don't have a scene together' He softly lays a hand on her shoulder 'Rach stop, you're rambling' 'god I'm sorry, I'm just nervous' he smiles 'that's okay' he hugs her 'now go get ready' she nods quickly and leaves 'break a leg!' he yells after her. 'you too' she yells back. 'Blaine I think we should go find Lucy so we could go take a seat' 'right' Blaine says and turns around on his heels. 'Audrey, perfect timing' he says as she Amy and Lucy just round the corner. 'Kurt, Blaine!' Lucy yells smiling. 'I've been at the stage and I sang a song and played on the piano and I got a costume on and a wig and I talked with some people and with Rachel and Amy and Audrey are really nice.' She pauses to take a breath 'and I heard that you are playing a part!' she says excitedly. 'I am' he says smiling. 'It's actually not really playing since there are no lines but still' 'So Lucy are you coming with me so we can go take a seat?' Kurt asks her and holds out his hand for her. 'Bye sweetheart' Audrey says smiling as she waves at Lucy. 'Bye Audrey, Amy. Break a leg!' Kurt says smiling 'yes!' Lucy ads smiling. The two of them leave and Kurt Lucy and Blaine are left alone. 'You guys should go now, well at least if you want a good seat' Blaine say smiling. 'Of course we want a good seat, we want to see you sing' she says smiling brightly. 'Well then go' he says and smiles at both of them. 'Bye Blainey, break a leg' she says and raises her thumb while giggling. As Kurt and Lucy leave Blaine beh ind to go to their places Kurt is drowned in his own thoughts. This is definitely not going how they planned it, not that he minds because now he gets to hear Blaine sing, again and no he doesn't mind that at all. Amy and Audrey are both playing pink ladies, Amy is Rizzo and Audrey is Frenchy. The one who gets the pink hair.' Lucy explains to Kurt even though he kno ws but he isn't going to ruin it for her. As Kurt looks around him he sees that there already are a lot people so they have to hurry for a good seat. 'Are you excited?' 'Yes, and curious. I think they're really good though. And Rachel is playing Sandy so that's nice too' Lucy says smiling. After another ten minutes the lights di e down slowly and the lights above the stage go on. They start playing the opening scene at the beach. 'Look there's Rachel' Lucy says a little too loud and points at the stage. 'Ssh Lucy be quiet' Kurt says as he got some irritated looks. 'Sorry' she whispers. Lucy literally knows the lyrics to all of the songs yes Kurt figured that out since she was singing along to every song. Not that he minded, he thought it was cute. But with every scene Danny and Sandy did together or just Danny Kurt imagined how it would have been if that was Blaine, it must have been a thousand times better then. The lights on the stage extinguished while all the other lights in the contracted 'I think it's time for the intermission' Kurt says to Lucy and she nods. He takes her hand in his and takes her to the hallway. 'Wow there so many people here.' Kurt smiles 'yes indeed. Do you want something to drink?' She shakes her head 'no. How long till Blaine comes on stage?' 'Uhm I don't know but I think not all too long' an then Lucy suddenly squeals. She turns around and sees it was Blaine who tickled her from behind. 'Blaine Ra chel' she says as she sees Rachel standing behind Blaine. 'Ssh be quiet. No one can know we're here or Sam will kill us' Rachel says dramatically. Lucy giggles at that. 'Rachel you were really great and you looked so beautiful in all those dresses.' Rachel smiles brightly as that just made her heart melt Lucy is the cutest little girl ever. 'Well I must say that you look very pretty yourself too, that dress is re ally nice.' 'Yeah about that, I see no one else wearing white' she says as she looks around. 'Yeah Rachel, why's that?' Blaine asks sarcastically. She starts to blush 'oh uhm I think they forgot' 'do you know what I think? I think you and Sam planned on this, probably Wes as well am I right? You planned that Alex wouldn't show up and that I accidentally was wearing white so I just could play along. Am I right or not?' At this point he started to yell and Rachel cringed she hadn't expect him to be mad and Blaine mad is sort of scary, she has never seen him this mad before. 'Stop staring!' he yelled to people who were passing them and giving them looks. 'Blaine please calm down' 'no I am not calming down Rachel! I am going to find Sam and tell her that I won't play the part' he yells at her. 'Blaine?' It's a soft tiny voice, Lucy 'no!' he yells at her and immediately regrets it a thousand times as he sees the look on her face. He wants to say he's sorry but he can't he's too mad at Sam and Rachel. He told them he didn't want to play not even a tiny role. They had to accept that but they didn't, they didn't respect his choice. 'I had never in my whole life thought YOU would do this Rachel' he said not yelling anymore he sounded sad, defeated, disappointed. He turned around and walked away from them. 'Kurt why is Blaine mad at me?' Lucy asks. Her lip is trembling and she's on the verge of tears. Kurt and Rachel looked at each other mentally discussing who should go after Blaine. 'I'll go' Kurt finally says 'Lucy stay with Rachel okay, I'll be back soon' he says and then ran off to go after Blaine. He opens the first door on the left and he sees Blaine immediately. He's sitting on the ground head buried in his hand back leaning against the wall, crying. 'Blaine?' 'Go away Kurt' he says without looking up. Kurt is surprised Blaine recognised his voice that quick but smiles at the thought but when he thinks back of the situation that smile fades away. 'Blaine' Kurt says again but this time he sits next to him on the ground. 'P-please leave me a-alone' 'I'm sure you don't want that' Blaine finally looks up and when he sees Kurt's beautiful blue eyes he starts crying even more. 'Kurt I don't know what to do' he whispers through his tears. 'Ssh don't cry okay, we'll find a solution' 'Blaine I'm so sorry' Rachel appeared in the doorframe. 'Rachel go away' he tries to sound mad but it isn't really working out since he's still crying a little so he just ignores her for now and starts to cry again, his bre aths become short and quick and he bites his lip. He tries to focus on his breathing to stop the sobs but it isn't working and suddenly there's a huge pang in his side. And he has to do everything to keep himself from screaming in pain. Rachel rushes to him and she looks scared. Maybe he wasn't that good at keeping a straight face. 'Blaine Blaine please? Are you okay?' She asks and according to her voice she's panicking yes she definitely is. But then there's a calmer voice, Kurt's voice, that voice. 'Okay just answer with yes and no okay? Can you do that for me?' Kurt asks calmly and Blaine nods. 'Are you in pain?' 'Yes' he chokes out. 'Is your side hurting again?' He nods again. 'Okay just stay still breath in and out, yes good. Stay calm. Is it decreasing?' He nods. 'Okay good keep breathin g in and out yes you're doing great' 'Rachel you asshole this is all your fault' he says and smiles a little but it looked like Rachel could burst out into tears every moment. Blaine notices and it makes him smile even more. 'What's so funny?' Rachel asks softly. 'You, come here' he says and she does, she slowly moves closer to him until she's close enough for him to touch her. He grins as he pulls her in a one armed hug, the other arms resting on his side. 'Now tell me again why you came here' and she finally gets it now 'you bastard' she says but then her voice turns soft again. 'I'm sorry Blaine' and then the moment is ruined by a bang which is increases by the door hitting the wall. 'God Blaine Rachel there you are, we're ten minutes late already. Everyone is waiting' Blaine and Rachel share one look and then both start laughing 'guys it's not funny I- god Blaine what happened to you? Are you okay?' 'I'm perfectly fine' he says and stands up followed by Rachel and Kurt. 'Where's Lucy?' Kurt asks Rachel as it had been Kurt's intention for her to stay with Rachel. 'Audrey took her to her seat a few minutes ago' Rachel says to Kurt and he sighs relieved. 'Guys we don't really have time to talk about all and nothing now, we need to hurry' Sam says and drags Rachel and Blaine along with her 'enjoy the show Kurt'

'hey' Lucy says happily as Kurt sits down next to her.

'so what-'

'Kurt be quiet they're starting again' Lucy interrupts him. She squeals 'they're at the restaurant now' she smiles brightly 'that means it's almost time for Blaine to come on' Kurt smiles at Lucy's excitement and then suddenly there's music and there's a familiar face on stage.

Your story sad to tell,

A teenage ne'er do well,

Most mixed up non-delinquent on the block!

Your future's so unclear now,

What's left of your career now?

Can't even get a trade in on your smile!

Beauty school dropout,

No graduation day for you.

Beauty school dropout,

Missed your midterms and flunked shampoo!

Well at least you could have taken time, to wash and clean

your clothes up,

After spending all that dough to have the doctor fix your nose

up!

Lucy is softly singing along while Kurt listens to the perfect mix of her and Blaine's voice and then he realises the song is over and it makes him kind of sad. 'Blaine was great right?' Lucy asks smiling.

'He was indeed' Kurt answers as he thinks back of the moment that Blaine entered the stage, he really looked happy.

'Blainey!' Lucy yelled as she saw him in the hallway talking to some people. And before Kurt can stop her she runs to Blaine.

Blaine turns around and smiles as he sees Lucy. He picks her up and holds her close to his chest. 'hey' Blaine says smiling to her and then grins as he sees Kurt.

'Hi' Kurt says a little breathlessly as he just ran after Lucy and his condition isn't what it has been once.

'so did you guys like the show?' Blaine asks.

Lucy starts to smile and with a lot of hand gestures she tells Blaine how amazing it was but Blaine's attention is somewhere else namely on Kurt who was talking to someone he probably knew and smiling and yes Kurt got Blaine's attention with his smile. 'Kurt who's that?' Lucy asks shamelessly while pointing at the guy Kurt was talking to.

Kurt turns back to Blaine and Lucy as he just for one little moment forgot they were there because for one moment it felt like old times, like nothing had happened. 'guys this is Gavin' Gavin this is Lucy, Blaine' Kurt says. Blaine looks at Gavin who smiles but it gives Blaine an uncomfortable feeling, Kurt noticed. Okay Blaine really wasn't that good at keeping straight faces.

'is there something wrong?' Kurt asks and his expression changes from happy to worried. Blaine shakes his head. 'are you sure?'

'yeah everything is fine' Blaine reassures him. He puts Lucy down on the ground as she got a little heavy which causes her to whine a little. She pulls at the sleeve of his shirt and Blaine bends down so he's on eye level with her. 'what is it?' he asks her.

'who's Gavin?' she whispers in Blaine's ear.

'honest?' she nods 'I have no idea' he says and then smiles. Kurt is talking with Gavin again and suddenly Blaine wants nothing else than to go back home, or well to the hospital.

So this time it's Lucy's turn to ask Blaine what's wrong and so she does. 'what is it?' she asks exactly imitating his voice while saying the same words.

He shakes his head 'nothing'

She raises an eyebrow 'hhm sure' she says and then finally let's go of his sleeve. 'Kurt' she says while smiling mischievously. Blaine fiercely shakes his head and mouths a clear 'no' at her but it's too late and Kurt turns around to face them. 'I really want to go back' she says and makes a tired face while yawning.

'of course' Kurt says understanding. Kurt smiles at Gavin 'duty calls' he says.

'it was great seeing you Kurt' 'Blaine Lucy' he ads. 'so I guess this is goodbye again' he asks hoping that Kurt will say no.

'yeah I guess so' Kurt says softly. 'bye Gavin'

Lucy lays on her back her hands folded behind her head. 'so Kurt, who's Gavin?' she asks promptly.

'oh Gavin yeah Gavin….. he's uhm' Kurt takes a seat in the chair near the window. Lucy looks expectantly at him. 'he's my ex-boyfriend'

'why ex? What happened?' Blaine listened with clenched jaws. He didn't want to hear this, hear Kurt's story about Gavin and how he still loved him. No Blaine didn't feel like hearing that so he excused himself to go to the bathroom no knowing that with that he missed the most important part of Kurt's story.

A/N: in case you guys are interested in knowing I kind of imagined Mrs. Smith/Sam as Emma Swan and a little as Holly Holiday who I suppose you all know. For further information, Emma Swan is a character in the TV show once upon a time.
