Teenage Dream (Blaine Anderson - Glee)

"Relax, I still like you, you jealous baby."

In Glee Club the next day, Tina was crying. Mike and I had been trying to comfort but it wasn't really working.

"You know what, Girl Chang? If you cry every time someone gets a hangnail, it kind of starts to lose its effect." Santana said rudely.

"It's not a hangnail. Mercedes was one of Glee's original members. I feel naked in here without her." Tina said sadly, wiping her eyes with her tissue. I sighed and got up from where I was crouched beside Tina. I went to sit back down in my seat beside Blaine as Puck started talking.

"Yeah, well, get used to it, 'cause without her singing for us, we're going to have to perform naked for the judges to vote for us at Sectionals." Puck said snarkily.

"No. I will not let this setback crush our spirits. I mean we have handled worse." Mr. Schue said.

"Than losing one of our best singers?" Mike questioned incredulously.

"Kind of hard not to blame you, Mr. Schue. Think you were too hard on her at Booty Camp." Quinn said, crossing her arms.

"I blame Artie. Why couldn't you have just given Maria to Mercedes?" Tina asked frustratedly.

"Because that would have damaged my integrity as an artist." Artie said defensively.

"Sorry I am late." Rachel said cheerfully, as she came striding into the room. "I was putting up posters for my...for my campaign." She said, hesitating when she spotted Kurt.

"Did you airbrush out your jowls?" Kurt called out snidely and I stifled a chuckle.

"No." She called back in annoyance.

"Look, let's stop it, everybody. So we lost a singer. So they cancelled the musical." Finn said and I sat up straight in my seat.

"Wait, What?" Rachel and I both said in unison.

"No, no, no, no. You can't cancel my musical!" She said.

"Our musical." I pointed out frustratedly.

"Right, our musical."

"Sue cut the funding." Mike explained to the two of us and I slouched back in my seat. Blaine, reached out to me, taking my hand in his comfortingly.

"The point is, right now, we shouldn't be turning on each other." Finn said. Blaine nodded his head from beside me and spoke up.

"I agree." Blaine said, standing up and letting go of my hand "I can only speak from my experience with the Warblers, but no show choir is just one person; it's a team. When we lost a Warbler, we just replaced him with another one." Blaine said, I nodded along agreeing with everything my boyfriend said.

"Which is easy when your waiting list has a waiting list. Dude, I know you're a big deal at Dalton or whatever, but we don't wear blazers here, so have a seat- I'm trying to give a pep talk." Finn said sneeringly. Blaine frowned and I glared at Finn.

"Didn't you just say something about us not turning on each other?" Blaine asked sadly, sitting back down. I took his hand in mine, squeezing it reassuringly and scooted my chair closer to him, resting my head on his shoulder.

"No, you can't cancel my musical. I was considering changing my name to Maria."

"Our musical." I said again, annoyed.

"The musical is not cancelled. As for Mercedes, yes, that is a huge loss for us, but we will deal with replacing her later. Right now, we need to focus on putting on this musical." Mr. Schue said, trying to remain cheerful.
