Blaines P.O.V

I'm finally going to Dalton! I'm so excited. I saw Coop a few weeks ago before I moved into the dorms. He told me he was proud like he always does. I met these two kids who showed me around the school. Wes and David. Me and Wes are room mates. David is like the prefect of our part of the school so he gets a single room.

I can walk fine now, although I get tired much easier than I used to, so I live off the coffee here. Wes wants me to try out for the glee club here. They are called the Warblers and unlike my old school, people pretty much praise the ground they walk on.

I spend the week preparing a song to sing. I want to do 'Raise Your Glass' by Pink! because I think that is a kind of song the Warblers would sing and I like it.

It's intimidating and scary to wait while other people try out. My finger is tapping the chair I'm sitting on constantly and I feel a sweat breaking out on my forehead. What if they hate me? I should leave now. This won't work out.
"Blaine Anderson." A dark boy comes out and says. I follow him into the room. The audition room is like a large living room, which is apparently where practices are held. I see Wes sitting down evaluating notes on the performance before me. He sees me and smiles.
I can do this. I tell them my name and what I am going to sing and before I know it I'm belting my heart out and jumping on furniture. Nobody can touch me… I'm too strong in this moment for anyone to bring me and tell me I'm weak. I'm a performer and in these moments I am on top.
I finish the song panting and I look around the room. It's silent. Everyones mouth is open and I want them to stop staring at me now.
Then, Wes stands up and starts clapping with the rest of the Warblers in tow.
"Congratulations Blaine! You are in the Warblers." I'm nothing but a backup to our lead Warbler Ryan who is graduating next year and Wes and David said I'm a shoe in for the next lead.
I call Cooper that night.
"Coop!"
"Blaine hey!"
"Guess what?!"
"What?"
"I made the Warblers! Wes said I will probably sing lead next year!"
"Good going squirt." Usually I would tell him to stop with the annoying nick name but I'm just too happy.
"Did you book anything?"
"Yes, I did actually. Weird I was going to call you today but I didn't know when auditions ended. I got Sky in a production of 'Mama Mia' going on in the community."
"That's great Coop! I want to see it!"
"We would have to call the airport before hand and warn them."
"About what?"
"You still get seizures occasionally Blaine. There has to be someone present like a helper god forbid something were to happen."
"You researched this didn't you?"
"Maybe."
"Ugh fine then we can call the airport then, not that big a deal."
"Okay, that's fine."
"Cool. I'm going to finish my homework then go to bed. I'll talk to later Coop!"
"Bye bro."
In November during Thanksgiving break I go to see Cooper on his opening night. He is fantastic!
He tells me to send him all of my competitions since they are put on YouTube anyhow. He always tells me how great I did and how he wishes he could be here. He hasn't been coming home as often as he used to. He needs to stay in California for work and other stuff since he had spent so many months here when I was recovering. He really is the best older brother I just wish he was here more.
