Nobody Loves Me Like You Do

Chapter 7: Auditioning

 Breakfast, the most important meal of the day, the most important time to choose where and who to sit with. I don't want to be at the bottom of the social pyramid at this school just like McKinley. Yesterday I practically made a fool of myself for sitting alone, I sat in the library during lunch and I didn't even eat dinner last night. Blaine waves me over to his table, luckily I am welcomed with open arms. Everyone is very kind.

"Hello, it's nice to see you again, Kurt," Wes greets as chivalrous as always.

"Good to see you too," I nod to the Warbler sitting next to him and nod, "David."

A blonde-haired boy who has a Justin Beiber like style shakes my hand enthusiastically, "Hi, I'm Jeff! This is Nick, Blaine has told us a lot about you."

The boy who I am assuming is Nick hits Jeff and Blaine looks away blushing.

Nick covers for him, "He doesn't talk about you a lot but he has told us about you."

"All good things I hope," I tease, making Blaine blush an even brighter red.

The rest of the meal is very nice, everyone is kind, funny. I feel like I have known these guys for forever, it's nice to have boys accept me and not act weird around me. The New Direction guys were great, but I never spent that much time with them, most of my time was spent with the girls. We talked about my audition and Blaine ranted on and on about how I was definitely going to get in. He really is such an amazing friend, being so supportive like that. Too bad I know we will never be more than that.

I spend practically all my classes staring at him, watching his beautiful hazel eyes squint in concentration, the way his nose scrunches up when he is confused. God, I know I can't be thinking like this, he doesn't like you like that. Get it though your thick lovesick head!! The bell rings and I gather my stuff up getting ready to go to where the Warblers practice.

"Kurt!" I hear from behind me.

I turn around and am met with the gorgeous sight of Blaine. A smile instantly finds its way onto my face, "Hey, wanna walk to rehearsal together?"

"That sounds perfect. I wanted to tell you to break a leg before you audition. I know you are going to kill it!"

"Thank you, I just hope that they will take me..."

He looks at me in shock, "Are you kidding me?! Of course, they will! They already love you trust me. Plus like I said yesterday, I can be very convincing."

I smile knowing that this time the words aren't quite as intense and intimate as the last time he said them. We walk through the halls of the pristine academy together chatting about class, competitions, just life in general. We approach the common room and I fall silent trying to calm myself down. You know this song by heart, it's emotional, you connect with the story. If you don't get in fine, you will know that you did the best you could. I repeat this small monologue in my head over and over willing them to be true. I take a deep breath.

"And now we welcome Kurt Hummel to audition to be a part of the Warblers," Wes introduces me.

I walk up to the front and hand Jeff my tape with the accompaniment smiling slightly.

"When I was six years old I broke my leg, I was running from my brother and his friends. And tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass I rolled down. I was younger then, take me back to when I found my heart and broke it here. Made friends and lost them through the year and I've not seen the roaring fields in so long, I know I've grown.

"But I can't wait to go home, I'm on my way. Driving at 90 down those country lanes, singing to "Tiny Dancer". And I miss the way you make me feel, and it's real, We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill," I glance at Blaine singing those last few lyrics.

Everyone is silent, making me anxious, not knowing what they are going to say. Feeling helpless to the decision they might make. David informs me that I should wait in the hall and that they have to discuss. Blaine walks me out and before closing the doors giving me a wink as if he knows what they are going to say. I sit in anticipation for about 10 minutes when the doors reopen.

"Welcome to the Warblers Mr. Kurt Hummel," Blaine announces.

I laugh and cover my mouth, excitement bubbling in my chest, "Oh my gosh thank you all so much!"

Without thinking I pull Blaine into a hug and whisper thanks into his ear. I wouldn't have even thought to try out if it weren't for him. To celebrate we decide to do a movie night in the dorm's hangout area after we complete the hefty load of homework. We all disperse to finish our work, grab our blankets, and get changed.

Hey! I hope everyone is safe, happy, and healthy! Enjoy the new chapter!~Lacy
