The Lacrosse team were about half way through their 8 laps of the Lacrosse field when they stopped hearing an announcement from their headmaster over the communication system.

"ATTENTION! ALL STUDENTS TO REPORT TO THE COMMON ROOMS IN THEIR RESPECTIVE HOUSES IMMEDIATELY! PLEASE REGISTER WITH YOUR HOUSE HEAD! THANK YOU!"

Sebastian glanced across at Thad who was beside him as they led the team in their laps around the field. Thad nodded and gestured for the rest of the team to follow him quickly over to where their coach was stood, eyeing the team anxiously. The group gathered around their coach.

Thad took the lead, "Coach...what's going on?"

"You will be informed when you are all registered in your common rooms...now go...quickly..."

Sebastian rolled his eyes when he felt his Coach's eyes linger on him for a second longer. Ever since the staff and faculty had been informed off his grandmothers illness they had all been keeping a closer eye on him. Sebastian had even noticed the Warblers (well Thad, Hunter, Trent, Nick and Jeff) watching him a little more closely than he was used to he knew. He knew (or at least Blaine assured him) they were doing it because they cared but it was starting to annoy him, he just wanted to get on with things.

Sebastian, Thad and the two other members of Ash House took the forking path quickly bidding goodbye to their team mates. They were quickly met with a queue of their dorm mates who were registering with their head of house Mr Walker. It didn't take long and the four were quickly entering the common room which was crowded. The room was never that busy, not even when they had a party. Thad and Sebastian squeezed through the throng of blazer glad boys so that they were stood behind the sofa that several of the Warblers had acquired.

Jeff wrinkled his nose as they greeted the group, "You both smell..."

"Gee thanks Jeff..." Thad said rolling his eyes at the blonde warbler.

"You're welcome..."

Before anyone could continue the conversation, the room fell silent as the doors closed and Mr Walker stepped forward to address the boys. It was clear that whatever Mr Walker was about to tell them was serious and the tension in the room was palpable.

"If I could have your attention...I am extremely sorry for the interruption to your daily schedule... However, it is necessary as we have had to confirm each students whereabouts..."

A freshman stuck his hand up, "Why? Is this some kind of drill?"

"Timothy...questions will wait to the end...but unfortunately this is not 'some kind of drill'...there are reports of gun fire at a school...it is necessary to confirm that we are not missing any students with the state police..."

"Sir, what school is it?"

"William McKinley High School in Lima..."

Sebastian swayed slightly not realising that he was being manhandled onto the sofa by Thad. Jeff and Nick quickly moved to accommodate Sebastian on the sofa, Sebastian was vaguely aware of a strong hand being placed on his shoulder, keeping him sat still.

"I understand that many of you have friends at the school...and I have been told to inform you that it was reported that some student are still inside of the school..."

The collective gasps that emitted from the warblers, quickly descended into frantic chatter and glances to where the warblers were sat, in particular Sebastian. It was common knowledge that the favorite ex-lead warbler was now a student at McKinley and was dating Sebastian. Sebastian glanced up at the clock and took in a shaky breath before exhaling nervously.

"He's in there..."

Nick twisted to face a now pale Sebastian, "What? You don't know that Seb?"

Sebastian nodded, "He...he is...it's New...New Directions rehearsal...they're all in there...Britt and Sam...and Kitty and Artie..." Sebastian dropped his head into his hands fear continuing to take over his every being. He couldn't lose Blaine. While Mr Walker had not said whether anyone had been injured, he knew that there was a risk. Blaine could be hurt.

"Hey...Seb...look at me..."

Sebastian snapped his head up to come face to face with Jeff. Jeff had been one of Sebastian's firming supporters recently and he wasn't exactly sure what he was supposed to think about that. He knew that Jeff and Blaine were close but Jeff had never seemed particularly keen on Sebastian. But Sebastian wasn't about to complain about his new found friend. It wasn't like he had that many to begin with.

"Seb...you can't think like that...Blaine...Blaine's strong...he'll be okay...they all will be..."

Sebastian coughed slightly, "Can I get that in writing?"

Jeff, Nick, Trent, Thad and Hunter laughed quietly. This was a scenario that they never would have thought they would be in and none of them had the vaguest clue on how they could comfort the former captain of the warblers. The only person they knew that generally had any clue as to how to handle Sebastian was Blaine. And Blaine wasn't here.

The boys sat in silence for what seemed like hours. But then again, everything felt like it was taking ages when you were waiting for something. Whether that be something good, like the end of a particularly hard lesson, or something bad. And in this situation none knew what the outcome would be.

In fact, in that moment the only thing that could really be heard was the constant ticking of clock.

Tick

Tock

Tick

Tock

Tick

Then the silence was broken by the sound of someone's phone ringing. Then, even the ticking of the clock couldn't be heard as everyone's attention became focused on the recipient of the phone call. It was Nick who pulled his cell from his pocket and quickly answered it. He had a hushed conversation with someone on the other line before ending the call and placing it back in his pocket. He then turned his attention to Sebastian, aware that everyone in the room was listening he passed along the information to the tense warbler.

"Seb...that was Puck...he...he said that the New Directions...they're in the choir room...all of them except Tina...Mr Shue and Coach Beaste are in their too..."

Sebastian swallowed, "How...how does he..."

"Jake...his brother...he's in there...he..erm...he texted him...Puck's outside the school...he's gonna call back when he finds more information..."

Nick didn't need to say what the text that Jake had sent to Puck read.

They all knew.

Goodbye.

Sebastian tried to stand but was stopped by the constant presence of Hunters hand on his shoulder, "Let me go! I need my phone!"

"No...you don't..."

"What if he's..."

"Sebastian...you are not going anywhere..."

"His parents aren't even in the country..."

Hunter moved around to stand in front of Sebastian, "I know...Charlie's dad's at the school..."

There were a few collective mutterings of 'who the heck is Charlie' but the sentence seemed to calm Sebastian down a little. He was slightly comforted by the fact that someone who actually cared and loved Blaine was there, especially if he couldn't be.

Blaine would be fine.

He had to be.
