“I came to apologize on behalf of us.” Nick began, when he entered Blaine’s hospital room. He didn’t expect a peep out of Blaine, but he still wanted to make things right even if the others didn’t exactly agree with him. They had just left McKinley after the confrontation with the other New Directions. Nick informed the other Warblers that he would return before curfew, Sebastian of course put his foot down but honestly he didn’t care, Blaine was his friend. And he had to make things right, there was hopefully a chance. “I had no idea he put rock salt in that slushie. We all had no idea.” He told him as a tear fell down his cheek. Things should not be like this. He was a mess, everybody was a mess but Nick was the only one who cared enough to take the initiative. He was happy that there was nobody in the room for this, he didn’t exactly want an audience.

Blaine could barely talk Kurt into leaving when his father came to pick him up. Only after reassuring his boyfriend repeatedly while high as a kite–a feat that deserved some sort of credit that he was able to make a solid case while feeling like he was floating on cloud..er..twenty–did Kurt agree to go get some sleep.  A out of it as Blaine was?  He couldn’t make himself do the same unless he couldn’t fight the fog floating through his brain. Now that he was alone?  His mind was too busy with thoughts about the Warblers to drift off.  –What happened to them?– Thinking that he never knew Sebastian was hitting home hard.  Wondering how he could have been so blind to someone who he once thought so much about as a friend was one thing.  But the others?  Blaine ended up sitting in the bed with his fingers laced together, biting his lip and trying not to cry because it hurt too much as he tried to figure out the answer.  –None of them even tried to help.–  Hearing someone coming into the room–Blaine turned his head so he could see who.  “Nick?”  There was no hiding his surprise.  Giving no pause–Nick tried his best to explain.  Confirming Blaine’s suspicions about who did it didn’t make him feel better. Only worse. Blaine’s heart sank even further at the sight of him crying.  “Nick,” he repeated himself in a slow whisper. “It’s–Please.  Don’t cry.  Come here.  Sit down.  Let’s talk.  Are you okay?”
