The next few weeks were kind of a blur. After everything in regards to the gun fire at McKinley, the student body was nervous and twitchy, everyone waiting for something to go wrong. But it didn't.

The New Directions won Regionals.

They were going to Hawaii!

The Cheerios (under Coach Washington) had won Regionals.

They were going to Walt Disney World in Florida!

Blaine, Brittany, Sam, Tina and Artie were working hard to keep up with all of their extra-curricular activities as well as enjoying being seniors. It had hit them at Regionals that they would soon be graduating and there was no guarantee as to what the future might bring. They had no idea whether they would still be friends. No idea where any of them would end up.

It was causing Blaine to freak out a bit.

Just a little bit.

Letters from the various colleges he had applied for had started arriving and they all just sat piled up on his desk in his bedroom unopened. Blaine was scared. He had applied to so many colleges across the country and he was terrified that he had not been accepted into any of them. He knew, deep deep down, that it was ridiculous that he couldn't get into any college. And as Sebastian had pointed out, he had applied to enough.

He'd had his audition for NYADA and while he knew it was a great school, it was Kurt's thing. And Blaine wasn't Kurt. But he'd auditioned and they had seemed pleased with his audition but he wasn't sure it was what he wanted.

Now all he had to do was open the letters on his desk and see what he did want.

That didn't mean he wasn't scared though.

Blaine had also realized that it wasn't just the New Directions and his friends that he would be leaving in Ohio in a couple of months. He would be leaving Sebastian and that thought scared him more than anything else in the world. He loved Sebastian and he knew that they would be able to do the long distance relationship but he wouldn't be able to see him every week or even every day if he wanted (as they were now). Sebastian had been Blaine's rock through the past few weeks (although Blaine suspected that that was mainly to distract himself from his grandma's cancer).

Tina had been accepted into Brown. Blaine, Sam and Artie had not had time to brace themselves for the onslaught of tears from Tina when she jumped on them in the hallway screaming 'I got in to Brown! I got in! I got in!'. Blaine was pleased for her. Despite their differences this year, Blaine knew that Tina was pretty spectacular but that she didn't believe it herself.

Artie had gotten in to the New York Film Academy and Kitty's squealing had rivaled Tina's. Blaine was unsure when it had happened but Kitty and Artie were in a strong relationship and Blaine knew that the two of them were in it for the long haul. Artie was made to be a director, everyone knew that, and Blaine couldn't wait until he was getting national acclaim.

Everyone knew that college wasn't for Sam or Brittany but none were sure as to what they were going to do once they graduated. Sam had mentioned going back to Kentucky for a bit before making a firm decision and Brittany had said that she wanted to dance. Not that that was crazy to understand. Blaine knew there were talks of Brittany going to New York and living with Rachel, Santana and Kurt but he was unsure as to how solid those plans were.

Ultimately, Blaine wanted to be in New York as well. Everyone may have once thought that New York was always Kurt and Rachel's thing, that had never been the case. California was Cooper's but New York was most certainly not Kurt's. He just wasn't sure where he wanted to study.

Blaine had always dreamed of his future career, hoping that life would be better then than it was at the present.

He had wanted to be an astronaut.

A Prince.

An Athlete.

A Doctor.

A Performer.

A Musician.

Blaine had settled on the last one when he had first joined the warblers. He loved to perform whether that be acting or singing and he knew that he was talented. He also knew that there were tones of places in New York that catered to that and that New York was one of the most competitive places in the world for that particular career path. But he didn't care. He was going to make it.

Now all he had to do was open those college acceptance letters.

When he got home from school after glee practice he made his way up to his bedroom calling out a greeting to his father who was working in his office. Blaine closed his bedroom door, threw his bag onto his bed and toed of his shoes before making his way over to his desk. He sat down on his desk chair and pulled the pile of letters closer to him.

In.

Out.

In.

Out.

Then he reached forward and picked up the first one and began to open them quickly, separating them into acceptance and rejections.

Well, acceptances really.

He had got in everywhere.

Everywhere.

University of State of New York – Purchase

Carnegie Mellon, Pittsburgh

University of Michigan

University of California – LA

Fordham University, New York

University of Southern California

NYADA

New York University

Blaine took another deep breathe. He had options. Lots of options. Yet, he couldn't stop his eyes from lingering on his acceptance letter from NYU. New York University. One of the best in the country. He could be happy there. He could see himself there.

He was going to New York.

Blaine was in such a daze that he jumped when his phone buzzed with an incoming call. He stood up and grabbed it out the pocket of his bag and smiled when he saw it was Sebastian who was calling.

"Hey Bas..."

"Hey Killer...you sound happy..."

"That's because I am..."

"Really...and what is the cause of this happiness?"

Blaine glanced back at his desk, debating whether he should tell Sebastian or not. But he didn't want to do it over the phone, "Just a good day that's all...you busy tomorrow night?"

"Nope...and Warbler practice is cancelled because some are out on a field trip...why?"

"Come over...dad goes to London in the morning...and mom's in Milan until next Friday..."

Sebastian chuckled, "You really are in a good mood huh?"

"Maybe I just miss you..."

"Alright Killer...whatever you say...but yeah...I'll be there around 5..."

"Good...I love you Bas..."

"I love you too..."

Blaine spoke to Sebastian for a few more minutes before hanging up when his father had called him for dinner.

Matthew Anderson liked to think he knew his youngest son pretty well. But the smile that he was sporting was not just the result of talking to Sebastian but he had no clue as to reason behind.

"Okay...what's going on?"

Blaine swallowed, "What do you mean?"

Matthew smiled, "Just spit it out Blaine..."

Blaine rolled his eyes, "I got into NYU...well I got into everywhere I applied...but I got into NYU..."

Matthew Anderson let his fork fall to his plate with a clang as he stood up and pulled Blaine into a hug, "I am so proud of you! You need to call your grandparents...and your mother..."

"I will Dad..."

He was going to New York.

New York!
