Blaine stood by Rachel as they watched Vocal Adrenaline perform a spectacular rendition on "Bohemian Rhapsody".
"They're good," Blaine stated, needlessly.
"I know," she whispered and she saw Jesse ... "We're not going to win."
"You don't know-" he tried to reassure her.
"Yes, we both know it," Rachel insisted quietly. And Blaine didn't have the heart to answer with a lie, because although New Directions had done exceedingly well, Vocal Adrenaline had a more powerful song, better costumes and beyond amazing choreography. That's one thing he could say for Shelby, she sure knew how to direct a production.
Jesse seemed to meet Rachel's eyes as he finished out their excellent rendition of Queen's classic "Bohemian Rhasody". Rachel turned away from the stage and walked out of the auditorium. And Blaine soon followed. They both heard Rachel's phone vibrate with a text. She looked at and then showed Blaine.
From: Santana
Both Beth and Q are fine. On our way back to you.
Santana had also sent Rachel a picture of the baby. Tears welled up in Rachel's eyes as she thought about it. Quinn didn't want her baby to grow up wanting for anything. She wanted to give her the best possible chance at life and to be with a family ready for a baby. And here Rachel was estranged from her own mother even though she was in this very building.
"That's good, right, Rae?" Blaine asked studying his sister. She suddenly turned on her heel and headed toward the team's rooms. Before he realized what she was doing she was already half-way to the Vocal Adrenaline's green room. Blaine quickly followed after her, but not before she had entered the room. Blaine caught the end of their conversation, where Rachel was practically begging for Shelby to join New Directions to spend more time with her. Shelby had turned her down flat before asking Rachel about the rest of New Directions.
When Rachel came out she walked stiffly past Blaine, her face devoid of emotion. He phone vibrated with another text.
From: Santana
We're here. Where are you?
"My team's here," Rachel said. Blaine looked at her skeptically, unsure if she would be okay after their 'mother's' latest rejection. Rachel seemed to sense this, "I'm fine. See," she gave him her patent-pending 'winning smile', "this is what show faces are for." Blaine gave her a kiss on the forehead before she left to rejoin her team. He hoped that they won because his sister really needed a win right now.
When Rachel burst into the house singing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" at the top of her lungs Blaine was beyond surprised. She had been sulking for the past week because of New Directions' loss at Regionals. Sure it was the last day of classes, but even that wouldn't have cheered Rachel up from adopting a new glee club, and even moving for it, before it got cut. But then she informed him that New Directions was given another chance by none other than Sue Sylvester! Blaine was beyond excited for his sister and hoped that next school year would bring more luck to the struggling glee club, for Rachel's sake. Though if they did end up going head-to-head Blaine couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't try to beat his sister's glee club with everything he had.
A/n: Yay! FINALLY the end of Season 1! We made it, guys! Barely in one piece, but still… Celebrate. One more season to go through and the introduction of Blaine to New Directions is imminent. Excited?
Also, I don't know if anyone else feels this way, but I love Jon Groff singing "Bohemian Rhapsody" and though I love New Directions (of course) if I were being honest, VA should have won based off of just "Bohemian Rhapsody", imagine what their other two numbers would have been like! Ah-freaking-mazing, that's what!
Now, ff and I have been having a tussle today, so I'm going to move that prize to the 110th reviewer. Also #100 was anon Lena, I would love to give you a piece of the prize too! But my dear you weren't signed in or don't have a ff account. Please sign in, give me your ff account name or email address so you may claim your prize! And hopefully this chapter will be able to be seen! So, you all still have a fair shot to get a sneak peek of Sebastian!
Anywho, hoped you enjoyed season 1, let me know what the season was like overall- or wait until we finish season 2 and then compare and tell me which you liked better!
