Present:
Blaine and Rachel sat in the audience and Marley and Kurt left the stage.
"Yes Blaine, I know. But it'll be harder now, considering these judges let him through," Rachel says with a frown.
Blaine just nods, and Rachel adds, "But not impossible." With a large smile on her face.
Two weeks prior
Blaine laid on his bed, his phone sat next to him, wondering how long it was going to take Kurt to realize he was making a huge mistake. Buzz buzz… Blaine hears and grins, finally, it had been a week and a half already. He didn't think Kurt could wait that long. Grabbing his phone he reads the message on the screen.
From Rachie: You will not belieeeve the news I just got!
Blaine frowns, he thought it was Kurt. But, Rachel had news, which could be on Kurt. So Blaine unlocked his phone and opened Rachel's message.
To Rachie: ? What is the news? Tell
Blaine goes to set his phone back down but his phone is buzzing again and he sees the message is too long to see from his lock screen. 'She must have already written it.' Blaine thought.
From Rachie: Okay so I just talked to Quinn, who heard from Noah, who heard from Finn, that Kurt has moved out of the state. AND Quinn even said that this can't be wrong cause Noah said that Finn said that Kurt told Burt himself That he moved to LAS ANGELES!
Blaine gasps and furiously types the next message out to Rachel.
To Rachie: WHY? Whats there for him?
Blaine was furious, how could Kurt just leave without saying anything to him? Sure they were broken up but Blaine had doubted that it would last long. Even if it did ('Not likely' his mind supplied) they were still friends at the least. Blaine's fingers drummed on the desk next to him as he waited for Rachel's next message.
From Rachie: He went to try fr The Voice! Can you believe it?
Blaine frowned as he though back to when Kurt had mentioned sending in an audition tape a while ago. Then Blaine's mind immediately went to worry. He clicked the call button next to Rachel's.
"Are you serious?" Blaine asked her as soon as the ringing noise had stopped.
"Yes! What is he thinking?" Rachel asks him in shock and a hint of anger.
"Exactly! Not only did he leave without telling us, his best friends, he left to go… do what's the word…," Blaine trails off, trying to find the word he was thinking of.
"To embarrass himself!" Rachel shrieks into the line and Blain winced.
"Mhmm, what do we do? How am I going to get him back now?" Blaine asks, his anger beginning to bubble. How could Kurt?
"I have an idea," Rachel says, and Blaine can almost hear the smile on her face.
"Tell me," Blaine says.
"We go to L.A and get him back!" She yells, like it's the most obvious thing in the world.
"Good idea! I'll ask my parents to buy us tickets. We can say it is a Graduation trip," Blaine says then pauses, "Wait, but won't he be on The Voice?"
"No, silly. Do you really think he is actually going to make it on? I mean if it was one of us, sure, but this is Kurt. The guy who didn't get a competition solo and lost the Diva off to me a few years back," Rachel says flippantly and Blaine's nerves are calmed immediately.
"You're right, I wasn't thinking," Blaine says, waving his hand. "I can probably get my parents to get tickets for next week."
"Awesome, text me when you get news. I have to start packing now! Bye Blaine," Rachel says and Blaine hears the line go dead.
"I really hope Kurt doesn't get too harsh feedback," Blaine says to himself, dialing his dad's number into his phone.
Just as Blaine had said, it wasn't even a week later that Rachel and Blaine were on a plane right to L.A. Rachel had found out that Kurt had made it passed the blind auditions and that his Battle would be the upcoming week they were going. So Blaine's dad had managed to snag them two tickets for his battle. They weren't sure if they were going to be able to talk to him or not but they could try and figure out where he lived.
While Blaine was thinking of ways to get Kurt back, Rachel's mind was on other things. Things such as how to get one of the judges to either A; notice her, or B; figure a way to get Kurt off the show, so he could get back to Lima and wait for Blaine. She wasn't too worried about getting Kurt back, because she doubted he was going to win the Battle. While she didn't care much if he did or not, she was Blaine's best friend, and as his best friend she would help him. Not to mention she got to go to L.A
Kurt is speed walking through the halls, trying to find Sebastian, Marley at his side.
"I'm gonna guess he is either in the audience or in the hall he found us in," Marley says, turning down the side hall. Kurt nods in agreement and sprints to Sebastian once he sees him, and launches into a hug.
"I think, because all of us are still in the competition, we should go out for a drink," Sebastian suggests to the other two.
"Uh, I'm not 21 yet," Marley says biting her lip.
Sebastian frowns and then snaps, a smile coming onto his face. "We could always go in for a drink."
Kurt quirks an eyebrow at him, "In?"
"Yeah, we can go to my apartment," Sebastian says with a shrug, "Have we met me? Of course I have alcohol," he adds when Kurt taps him on the shoulder with his hand.
"We are barely friends Sebastian. Yes, we've hugged, but out of pure excitement," Kurt laughs out.
Sebastian huffs and links his arm in Marley's, "Fine, you aren't invited then," He smirks, his back facing Kurt and waits. When he hears Kurt groan he knows he has two people for company that night.
"I can't let you destroy Marley's lovely sunshine personality. So I'm coming too," Kurt says, pulling their arms apart and Marley laughs.
Sebastian ends up being the only one who drove their car, Marley and Kurt had each opted to just get a cab, which meant he drove them to his house. They had been nursing wine for about half an hour when Marley suggested ordering food.
"I'm always a slut for Chinese food," Sebastian, who had drunk half the bottle of wine himself, says.
Kurt and Marley burst out laughing, "Write your orders down and I'll call it in," Kurt tells them.
Once they got the Chinese food, the bottle of wine was empty (Marley and Kurt didn't get any more since the call) and Sebastian was getting closer to drunk than tipsy. He had eaten some of his Chinese food before moving onto Kurt's.
"Sebastian, for the umpteenth time, get away from my food," Kurt says pushing Sebastian away with his foot.
Sebastian groans and puts his head on Marley's shoulder, "Mar, tell Kurt to give me a bite," He says prodding her stomach.
"Hey Kurt," Marley says and Sebastian's frown becomes a smile, "Can I have a bite?"
Kurt gives a too innocent smile and stares right into Sebastian's eyes as he says, "Of course, Marley."
"Why are you both so mean to me?" Sebastian asks as he slides off the couch and onto the ground.
When five minutes go by of Marley and Kurt eating silently, Kurt raises and eyebrow and uses his foot to nudge Sebastian's butt. Not getting a response Kurt sets his food down and kneels beside Sebastian. Kurt smirks and winks at Marley.
"Well, if Sebastian is asleep, I guess that means we can go raid his stuff," Still no response, "Or I can go and burn any and all of his hair products," Kurt says and Sebastian groans loudly.
"How did you know he was faking?" Marley asks him.
"I lived with two teenage boys. They always did stuff like that when they wanted my food. They would wait until my guard was down, Sam would usually pin me as Finn ran the food up to his room," Kurt explains as Sebastian picks himself off of the floor, frowning.
"We should go do something tomorrow or something," Marley suggests.
"What would we do?" Sebastian asked her but she just shrugged.
"I know! We should totally go see the Venice Beach Freak show. I so need to see Morgue!" Kurt exclaimed.
"Morgue?"
"He is a sword swallower. And I need to see him!" Kurt said again.
"I think it could be fun," Marley says.
"Yeah, we can do that, I guess we can take Sebastians car," Kurt says to her.
"We should make it into a fun day trip, like go swimming, eat lunch and dinner out there," Marley tells them.
Kurt nods in agreement, "Are you sober enough to be agreeing to this?" Kurt turns to ask Sebastian but he is fast asleep on the back of the couch.
"Should we…," Marley asks Kurt, pointing to Sebastian and his bedroom door.
"We can just leave him," Kurt says, "I am probably not strong enough to pick him up, he seems to have muscle mass from playing lacrosse."
"Oh okay, we can sleep on the couch then, are you ok with sleeping in the chair?" Marley asks him.
Kurt nods and starts to drift off into sleep as he hears, "Today was a good day."
