[A/N ] HI! :D Ok like I said, I apparently have been writing on two different computers. The last chapter was actually written on our family PC 'cause I had trouble sleeping one night and I somehow ended up there and typing away. This one however, as I have discovered, has been hanging around on my laptop for quite some time now, so I apologize for that. Things have just really been quite freakishly crazy with all the majoring year going on in my educational life.

Anyway, THANK YOU for the reviews I received on the last chapter. You don't know how much it means to me to actually get them. I have to admit, what the other authors have been saying is true: reviews motivate you. Wo please if you have any comments or what not, feel free to send them to me.

Ok I've been babbling for quite some time now, on with the story. Here you go!

I own none of the Glee characters [:

Toni's POV

"I won't be able to go to our session today. Bad cold. Please go to Signore Viktor for the assignment" ~Blaine

Toni glared at her phone, rereading the message 5 times before closing it. It wasn't going to change anytime soon anyway.

"You ok?" Gabriela asked her from her own bed. She had been staring at Toni as she looked at her phone, complete with an annoyed look painted on her face.

"Huh? Oh, uhm yeah I'm fine. Blaine is skipping the session today. Says he has a cold," she said to Gabriela, the annoyed look still on her face.

"Oh, that explains the I-don't-like-this-day look on your face. Maybe you should go visit him after class? You know, as a caring 'friend,'" she said to her, giving her a wink.

"I don't know, he seems pissed at what i've been doing to him this past couple of days. I think I should stop?" She asked her.

"It's your choice. I'm merely suggesting. Anyway, I'm sure he'll be up and about in no time. Don't rush Toni," Gabriela said to her, finally standing up to get ready for the day.

Blaine's POV

He was a wreck. A total unproductive wreck.

It had been almost a week since Rachel asked for them to have a time off from one another. Of course, he kept his promise, and had avoided visiting Rachel for the past 6 days. He also have skipped eating almost 2 of his 3-meals a day routine and had been trying to drown himself in alcohol whenever he had the luxury to do so. His room-neighbour, Matt, had been witness to all of this, and upon seeing Blaine today at the corridor, he decided that it was time to end Blaine's new 'routine.'

"Hey, Blaine! You look like a mess! You really should talk to Rachel about this whole cool off thing," Matt said to him, smacking Blaine's shoulder to catch his attention.

"She asked for a time away from each other Matt. That's what you're supposed to do during a cool off and that's what I've been doing. And I'm waiting for her to call me," Blaine said, feeling his heart ache from telling Matt the truth.

Matt looked at him with utter disappointment. Blaine was not getting in that class. First of all he looked like he hasn't showered for days. His scruff has grown and his usually gelled hair was a mess. Second, it was very evident that there was no way in hell that he would even pay attention to his professor, which could cause him to get in trouble.

"Come on, we're skipping class. Let's get some coffee," he said, grabbing Blaine by the arm and dragging him towards the exit.

"No, Matt I need to get to class!" Blaine argued, trying to free himself from Matt's grasp.

"No Blaine. I highly doubt that you'll be able to learn anything with your current state. We're talking. Come on, let's fix this shit you're in," he said to him, and Blaine allowed himself to be dragged.

"So, what happened exactly?" Matt asked Blaine as he handed his coffee. They were seated in a table near the windows of the cafe inside the campus. All around, students can be seen talking and laughing with each other. Blaine was the complete opposite.

"Rachel saw Toni kiss me by the park near our building. I didn't push her 'cause I was completely shocked and my body didn't react fast enough. She thought Toni and I had something going on between us, and she wants to have space to give me time to fix things and to figure out if I still want ot be with her or not. I'm a wreck I know. I should've pushed her, I know. But I'm sick of all of this. I'm too tired arguing with Toni about her inappropriate treatment towards me, and I'm too tired hurting Rachel. Matt I don't even know how to start fixing this!" Blaine said, ruffling his hair in complete annoyance. He really hated his situation right now. How can something be picture perfect in one moment and a complete mess the next?

"Well, I think you should drop the mentoring sessions. Seriously that's the number one way you could avoid being with Toni. Just explain what happened to Signore Viktor and I'm sure he'll understand. And then talk to Toni. Tell her how you feel. As for Rachel, well, I think the only thing you can do is wait for her. Give her time. That's what she asked for anyway. But don't remove yourself from her life. Send her flowers once in a while and give her a message or something. Just don't remove yourself completely," Matt finished, giving Blaine a grin before sipping his coffee.

"You think it'll work?" Blaine said, looking hopeful.

"I think so. Just give it a try Anderson. What have you got to lose?" Matt said to him.

Toni's POV

"Hey Toni! Signore Viktor needs to speak to you. Says it's urgent," Daniel, Toni's classmate, said to her just as she was leaving for her next class.

Toni entered Signore Viktor's office, feeling nervous as she did so. She did not know if Signore Viktor found out about what was happening between her and Blaine, and she was hoping that this whole meeting was not the case.

"Buongiorno Signore. You asked for me?" she said, standing behind the door of the office.

"Yes. Signorina Antonella please take a seat. I would like to talk to you about your mentor sessions," he said, motioning her to take a seat in the chair in front of his desk.

"Is there something wrong?" she asked, still feeling nervous.

"Well, no. But Signore Anderson talked to me this morning to tell me that he was dropping the sessions. It is to his deepest regrets but as it turns out, the sessions have caused some conflicts in his life and he said that he needed to fix things, and that would require him dropping the mentoring schedules. Of course, I will not leave you hanging. I just wanted to give you a heads up and inform you that I will be assigning you a different mentor starting tomorrow afternoon. Please meet me at my office tomorrow, same time, and I will introduce you to your new mentor. Any questions?" he finally finished, and all she could do was stare at him.

Blaine was not his mentor anymore. Blaine had cut her off. This was worse than she expected. After a few minutes, Toni was able to break from her deep thought. She had to talk to Blaine.

"None Signore. Thank you for informing me. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm running late for my class. Have a good day," she said as she quickly stood up from her seat and rushed out of Signore Viktor's office. As she stepped out of the room, she quickly searched her bag for her phone and quickly sent a text to Blaine.

"Can we talk? After class, 3pm at the park in front of the building," ~ Toni.

"Ok, I was planning on talking to you too," ~Blaine

Toni felt nervous instantly. She knew she had taken it too far. And she had not expected this.

"Hi," she said to him as she sat beside him.

Blaine looked like a mess, and Toni immediately felt guilty. She knew she was taking things over the top, but she did not expect that it would turn out to be like this. Yes, she liked Blaine, a lot. But she did not want to hurt him.

"Hey," Blaine said to her, his voice sounding weak.

It had taken Blaine a few minutes before he could start talking to Toni upon seeing her. He really did not want to lash out on her, even if he was hurt by all of her actions. He was not like that. He was raised a gentleman, and even at situations such as this one, he still knew that he still needed to be respectful.

"Toni, I need to clear things for you," he said, looking her in the eye.

"Ok..."

"This past couple of weeks, I thought I had made it clear that I was in a relationship. I told you a couple of times. I have a girlfriend that I am completely in love with, and I don't plan on changing that anytime soon. But this past couple of weeks, you have done nothing but give me these signals and things that are suggestive. Someone saw us when you kissed me back at the cafe. Rachel saw us when you kissed me at the park. And now, she asked for space. Toni, I love Rachel. I love her so much, and all of these actions you've been doing towards me have created nothing but trouble in my life. I respect you, I do, but all of this has got to stop. Toni I'm gonna be frank, do you like me, or do you just enjoy flirting with me?" Blaine said, finally letting out a deep breath as he finished.

"I like you Blaine," she said to him, her voice was soft and low.

"Toni, I know that being away from your family is hard for you, and I don't know if I myself had given you any signs that might have suggested that I had feelings towards you, but Toni, you really have to stop. I'm sorry if I can't reciprocate your feelings, but I really love Rachel and I can't afford to lose her. Please, I'm begging you to stop this. You're a beautiful lady, and I'm sure that a guy out there would love to love you. I'm not that guy Toni. I'm sorry but I'm just not," he said to her.

"But I want you," she said to him, her voice a mere whisper.

"I can't be with you," Blaine replied.

"Won't you try?" she said, her voice pleading.

"No. I love Rachel," he finished.

Inside her head, Toni felt like she wanted to cry. Cry her eyes out. But she willed herself not to. Blaine had made it clear. She had no chance, and she just had to accept it. She looked at Blaine and saw him clearly for the first time. This was not the Blaine she had fell in love with. He was a mess. And as much as she wanted to not admit it, she was the reason why he was like this. This is all her fault. She destroyed Blaine. She destroyed the life of someone she loved. And she had to stop, even if it hurts her. It would be hard. Very hard. But she had to do it. After almost half an hour of just staring at Blaine's face, she finally spoke to him, sincerity in her eyes.

"I destroyed you didn't I?" she asked him.

"Destroyed? No, not destroyed, just damaged. But I'll be ok, I just need time to fix things with Rachel," Blaine said to her, not looking at her face.

"I'm sorry Blaine. Really. I never expected things to turn out like this," she said to him, taking his hand in hers.

"You made a mistake, I understand. All I ask is for you to just let go of me. It's hard, I've been there, but it'll get better. All you have to do is give it time," Blaine said to her, finally looking up to face her.

"I know. I just thought that maybe I had a chance with you. I guess I underestimated your love for Rachel," she said to him, looking at her lap as the tears suddenly started to well in the side of her eyes.

"I love Rachel too much. I can't let her go. I won't," Blaine said, looking at her.

"She's lucky..." she said, finally looking up at Blaine. "Blaine I'm sorry. Please let me help you make it up to her. I know she probably hates me right now, but I want to make this right. I know it'll kill me inside, but I don't want to go back to the US knowing that I destroyed a wonderful relationship. At least let me do that. Let me talk to Rachel," Toni said, looking at Blaine in the eye, sincerity overflowing in hers.

After Toni said her intentions, all Blaine could do was stare. He did not expect Toni to actually want to help him fix his relationship with Rachel. But it did not mean that he appreciated the idea. Maybe this could be the perfect way to fix things with Rachel. If it would not be perfect, it was at least going to be a very big help for him. After a few minutes of just staring at Toni, Blaine finally took a deep breath and spoke to her.

"I would appreciate that. Thank you Toni; for trying to help me out and for trying to correct your mistakes," Blaine said, giving her a small smile.

"I want to talk to her actually. Would you let me?" Toni said, still looking at Blaine's eyes.

"Well, I don't know how she'll react to you, but I hope she won't be hysterical. I know Rachel, and I know that she can be dramatic at times, but I would greatly appreciate the effort. When do you want to talk to her?" Blaine asked.

"Tomorrow. I was thinking if I could go to her apartment and talk to her there. I know it would be easier to avoid me at school so I thought that her home would be a nice place," Toni said to him, suddenly looking better than she did earlier.

"That would be perfect, I guess I have to talk to her landlady about it. Toni, really, thank you for doing this. I just hope Rachel would take me back after all of this is over," Blaine said to her, his expression was unchanging. It was still the same sad look.

"My pleasure. It's the least I could do from everything that I've done to both of you," Toni said, giving him a small smile.

"Tomorrow then."

"Tomorrow."
