Actions speak louder than words chapter 4
(Sorry that this chapter has been so long in coming but I have started planning my wedding so I have been busy. Yes you read that right this humble Fanfiction writer has gotten engaged this past week. I word that the way I do because I don't have the ring yet because it is still being paid off. I am the happiest person alive I think. Anyway to guest reviewer Chrisch your review made me smile and remind me why I love writing so much. This chapter is dedicated to you because of it. Now to warn you most of this chapter is going to be centered on Blaine and his journey to Kurt. Also I realized that having to many of the graduates be part of the plan might give it away so only a few of the graduates will be in this chapter.)

Sunday morning came bright and early for Blaine Anderson since he had forgotten to turn the alarm clock on his phone off the night before. He listened to the song that was playing and started crying. I never told you by Colbie Caillat was playing softly. He had put it on his phone after he came back from telling Kurt that he had cheated. He felt connected to the song since it reminded him so much of his situation. He thought back to the text messages that he had traded with Kurt the day before and smiled since it was a step in the right direction to getting his soul mate back. He grabbed his phone off the bedside table and turned off the song and noticed he had a text from Sam.
-From Sam Evans.
-Hey Blaine, wake up I will be at your house around 11:30 I feel bad for cutting our guy time short yesterday and want to make it up to you.
Blaine shook his head at the silliness of his friend and hit respond.
-To Sam Evans.
-Hey Sam I will see you then. You know you don't have to make it up to me. I understand that things come up but I will be quite happy to hang out with you before practice.
Blaine sent the text and yelped noticing that it was almost 10 and ran to his en-suite bathroom to shower. He had just gotten done doing his hair when he heard his phone go off again. He grabbed his robe and put it on before going to read his text.
-From Sam Evans.
-Dress for walking dude.
Blaine frowned as he responded,
-To Sam Evans.
-Why? Aren't we just going to hang out here or at your house?
-From Sam Evans
-Sorry dude you will have to wait and find out.
Blaine shook his head and headed for his closet to grab his favorite outfit. The red jeans hadn't seen the light of day in some time. He grabbed the black tee-shirt from his dresser and his white braided belt and got dressed. He debated on putting on a bowtie but in the end he put on the striped bowtie that matched his outfit (Anyone recognize the outfit? It's my favorite non Dalton outfit on Blaine) and grabbed his phone, wallet, and keys before heading down stairs to grab some food and coffee. He entered the kitchen to find a note from his mother saying that she and his father had gone out of town on business and that she had put money in his checking account for him to get food on. As he finished eating he heard Sam pull up and headed for the door. He stepped outside and was confused as he saw Sam get out of his car holding a red rose.
"Sam what is with the flower man?" He asked as he walked over to Sam.
"The flower and the note that go with it are for you. Before you ask they are not from me and no I am not going to tell you who they are from." Sam told him as he handed over both items. Blaine opened the note and read.
Dear Blaine,
This is the first of many flowers you will be getting throughout the day from me. One of the meanings of the red rose is Courage. You give me that everyday knowing what you have gone through. Now each flower will come with another note telling you the meaning of the flower and where to go next. Your next location is the Lima Bean.
Love from your secret admirer
Blaine smiled and blushed at the note and looked up at Sam and asked,
"Do I know who the person is?"
Sam wasn't expecting the question and it showed on his face.
"I can't tell you that man. Now you need to get going to the Lima Bean. You don't want to be late do you? I will see you at rehearsal this afternoon." With that Sam got in his car and headed back to the Hudmel household. Blaine got in his own car and set the flower in the front passenger seat and headed off to the Lima Bean. He parked his car and looked around. Not seeing anyone he got out of his car and headed inside. He quickly spotted Marley holding a note, a white flower and cup of coffee. She headed over to him and handed everything over with a smile.
"I can't tell you who it is but I promise you that you won't be disappointed. And that is your medium drip coffee." Blaine thanked her and headed back outside. He sat on a bench and opened the note.
Hello again Blaine,
The flower in your hand is an Orchid. It symbolizes Refined Beauty. The first moment I saw you I thought you were the most beautiful man I had ever seen. You also are the most refined man I know. I think it is because of your time at Dalton. I hope you enjoy your coffee and I can't wait to see you at the end of your search. Your next clue is at the Lima television station.
Till your next note, your admirer
Blaine smiled and took a drink of the coffee noticing that it was perfectly sweetened and headed back to his car and set his orchid with the rose and headed to the TV station. He noted Puck's car and got out noticing that both Puckermans were waiting. Noah handed over the purple rose he had with the next note. Jake grinned at his friend and asked,
"So what do you think of this so far? We are what your third stop now?" Blaine nodded his head with a goofy grin on his face and opened the note to see what it said as he replied,
"I can't believe that someone has gone through all this trouble for me."
Blaine,
This is your third note and flower. The purple rose stands for enchantment. I thought the TV station was perfect for this note and flower because of your television special. You were so enchanting that performance, then again you are enchanting always. Now your next note is at Lima Park.
Forever yours, your admirer
Blaine smiled softly and quickly said goodbye to the brothers as he headed to his car and drove to the park. As he drove he pondered the notes and the boys that he knew to see if he could figure out who was doing this for him. He was starting to notice a pattern of who was delivering the notes. He was noticing that it was all members of the new directions and wondered which member was waiting for him at the park. He parked his car and headed into the park wondering where in the park he was supposed to go at least he was until he spotted a familiar set of dreadlocks on the head of Joe. Blaine grinned and jogged over where Joe handed him a striped tulip and the newest note with a smile and a,
"Hey man what do you think of all this?"
"I wish I knew who it was. I mean I know who I want it to be but it is impossible." Blaine told him with a small sad smile thinking of the love of his life. Joe fought a grin wishing that he could put his friend out of his misery but feared the wrath of Kurt Hummel if he did so.
"Well I will leave you to it man. See you at rehearsal." He told Blaine before jogging off. Blaine sat on a nearby bench and opened the note to see what his admirer loved with this note.
Blaine,
You will notice that this flower is an ordinary striped tulip. The flower may be ordinary but what it represents is far from it. It represents beautiful eyes. Yours are more than that they are gorgeous. The color of warm honey and I get lost in them all the time. I realize that might be the corniest thing I have written yet but I don't care because it is true. Anyway you must know that getting the next person to give you a note gave me quite the talking to when I asked her. Miss Cohan-chang is waiting for you at Between the Sheets.
Till the end of this hunt, your admirer
Blaine smiled at the note; he was rendered speechless by this latest note. He smelled the tulip and headed out of the park and across the road to the music store. He noticed Tina waiting for him outside and saw the orange rose wondering what this one meant.
"Hi Blaine, I want you to know that should you give this boy a chance I can guarantee that he has been warned against hurting you by myself and Sam." This statement made Blaine grin and say,
"What would I do without you guys? I will say this though, as sweet as this all is my heart could only belong to Kurt. He is my soul mate Tina. I have been giving him space because I want him to be happy. I know that he had that date with the senior from NYADA and if he has a chance of happiness with him then I will keep my feelings to myself."
Tina made sure to keep her face blank during his speech while she cheered inside. She knew that Kurt and Blaine belonged together. She thought for a moment on what to say to her friend to get him to give Kurt a chance without revealing that it was Kurt.
"Blaine do you trust us? Do you believe that we would agree to help someone with this if we didn't think that this was a good thing?" She asked him grabbing his hand with her free hand.
"Of course I trust you guys. Other than Cooper you guys are the closest thing to family that I have. I believe that you guys think that you guys are doing the right thing but all I want is Kurt to love and trust me again, but to humor you all I will give this guy a chance." He told her with a smile.
"That's all we ask Blaine. Now here is your next note and flower. I will see you at practice." She handed them over and ran off to her car. Blaine shook his head and looked down at the rose and smiled softly. He headed to his car and set the tulip and its note with the others and smelled the rose before placing it with the others. He opened the new note and read.
Hello again my love,
The orange rose stands for passion. You have so much passion Blaine. You show it every day. I mean you joined every club at McKinley and ran for student body president. The school is so lucky to have you as a student. Your passion for music is un-matched even by Miss Rachel Berry. You will do so well no matter what college is fortunate to have you. I have seen you perform several times and the passion you put in your performances is awe inspiring. But enough of that I'm sure you are ready to move on. Your next note is at the parking garage where the New Directions battled the warblers for MJ.
Not much further to go.
Blaine smiled at the note as he set it down and starting his car and heading to the garage. He parked outside the garage hesitant to go in since it would be the first time he had been there since the day with the warblers. He had just gotten the courage to go in when a knock on his window shocked him. He looked out to see Mercedes's grinning face staring at him. He quickly got out of his car to grab the diva in a fierce hug.
"Hey Blaine how are you?" She asked him as he let go of her.
"I'm ok Cede's it took a while to be ok but I am. I will admit though that I am surprised that you are part of this. You are the biggest fan of Kurt and I that I know." He told her hoping that she would let something slip about the person doing this. But to his annoyance she saw right through it.
"Sorry Blaine you aren't getting anything out of me. All of the people in on this are under strict orders to not tell you a thing about the person doing this. They want you to be completely surprised." She gave him his note and the red peony that she held. She gave him a hug goodbye before heading to her own car.
Dear Blaine
I am sorry that I am making you relive the memories of the day you were forced to turn against the Warblers but it fit perfectly with this flower and what I love about you. The red peony stands for devotion. The devotion you showed when you took the attack that day was so amazing. You didn't care what happened to you as long as he was safe. You need to know that the devotion you have for your friends and family is one of the things that I love most out of all of the things that amaze me about you. You are almost done my love only one more clue left till we meet face to face. You are now headed to McKinley.
Blaine wiped his face of the tears that had been falling since he started reading this note in awe of the person who was doing this. He had to admit to himself that he wanted to meet this person if only to thank them for reminding him of how much he meant to people. He quickly drove to McKinley and parked in his usual parking space. He noticed that practice was to start within the half hour so he had to finish his hunt quickly. He saw Unique standing at the front entrance with a note and a Lily.
"Hey Blaine you need to hurry if you want time to talk to the person doing this for you before practice." She told him as she handed them over with a smile. "Now I will leave you to it." With that she ran off towards the choir room where everyone was waiting. Blaine shook his head and opened the note.
Hello again my love
You are at your last note before we see each other and I must admit I am quite nervous at hearing what you think of all this but enough about me. The lily stands for sweetness. You Blaine are the sweetest man alive. You are so caring and the way that you have been through so much in your life and be so kind and sweet is amazing. Now on to where you have to go next. I am waiting for you in the auditorium for you Blaine.
Blaine ran off towards the auditorium he was so absorbed in getting there that as he passed the choir room he didn't see that all the members of the New Directions past and present along with Burt and Carole started to follow him there. He stopped outside the door to the auditorium and took a deep breath before pulling the door open.
(That's it for this chapter. I'm sorry for the cliff hanger but I needed to stop it somewhere. Please read and review to tell me what you think of this. Till next time)
