Blaine didn't get better but he didn't get worse, well, not really. Santana and the others did manage to bring down the fever a little but he was still very hot. He woke up coughing violently and it sounded terrible and hoarse but the good news was that he had woken up during the night; however he didn't seem aware of where he was.

When he first awoke, Rachel had been there with Vaporub in her hands. Santana was waiting in line with Brittany to use one of the phones to call the ambulance.

Puck and Artie waited in line to another phone just in case one of them got to the other faster. There was no point delaying it anymore, Blaine needed more help as Mr Schue pointed out that it could be more than just a cold, but since there was literally 100s of people in the shelter, this was going to take a while.

The only person out of the New Directions to have their phone with them were Puck and Mr Schue, but Puck was never around when they needed him and Mr Schue's credit ran out.

Rachel was rubbing some vaporub to Blaine's chest when she jerked her hand away as he stirred and was mumbling “Where am I?” He blinked his eyes open at Rachel “Rachel? What you doing here?”

Rachel explained to him what was happening but he was so out of it, “You're at the shelter remember? Everyone had to get evacuated into a safe spot due to the bad weather” but then Blaine closed his eyes again not to long after asking even as she was saying “Blaine don't go to sleep you need to eat something….or at least drink some water” Blaine ignored her. He felt too sick to do anything of the sort. He just wanted to go back to sleep.

He blinked when he awoke a second time during the night but this time saw Finn sitting next to him. It was Finn's turn to watch over Blaine. All night they took turns so the other could grab something to eat or drink or talk or find out what was happening with the weather. The ambulance was going to take some time, especially since they had said Blaine was breathing, they had to get to other urgencies first before getting to Blaine, and with the weather and other people in similar conditions it could take longer than usual for an ambulance to be of an assistance as the nurse had explained.

Mercedes had been given a cot to share with Sam which was on the other side of the shelter near the far end, so they came over every hour to check how things were progressing. Rachel and Finn shared a cot as well but it was closer to Blaine's. Neither of them hoped they had to sleep there that night, but the weather wasn't looking promising. Tina and Artie had a cot  right next to each other .Nobody knew were Puck and Mr Schue were requested to sleep, but nobody really asked because they kept disappearing throughout the night.

“Who-a you?” Blaine attempted to ask groggily not recognising the other boy as he had with Rachel although only by name, not how he had known her.

Finn looked pleased to see he was awake though this time as they had food for him, he handed Blaine a bowl of cut up apple and half a grilled cheese “Man you really need to eat this. I don't want to have to baby feed you,”

Blaine took a bite of the grilled cheese, but he chewed so long Finn wondered if hed even be able to eat half of the half.

“I'm the guy you punched in the nose,” Finn answered Blaine's question as Blaine sat up looking more shocked this time than confused “W—what? No ..i don't hit people, I don't remember doing that,”

“It's okay you know Blaine. I would have punched me too, but you did a better job of it, do you remember why we are here? Rachel said you didn't remember,”

“Mhmm?” Blaine rubbed his red eyes and coughed . He took more sandwich and spoke on a mouthful of cheese “How yu know ma name? Where am I?” Blaine questioned as Finn scrunched up his face “Boy you are sick aren't you?”

Just then someone's phone rang. Finn went to look in his pocket but then remembered he didn't remember setting California Girls as his ringtone. He looked over to Blaine about to ask if he knew where it was coming from but Blaine already was holding his mobile to his phone “-Ello?” Blaine half yawned and half coughed.

Finn waited a minute to decide If he should take the phone and talk to the person.

“Who dis?” Blaine spoke still staring at Finn with suspicion and then he blinked twice as he recognised whoever it was speaking “Oh! Jeffy! What up man. How are you?”

“I don't know- I don't feel good, last thing I remember was looking for Kurt…”

Blaine rapidly looked alert and swore as he stared wide eyed at Finn and then said while also holding the phone “Oh my god-Kurt,”

Finn seemed worried too at the sudden anxiety over Kurt. “Isn't he with the Warblers?” Finn was now alarmed but Blaine wasn't answering, something Jeffy was saying made him relaxed as his shoulders looked less tense. “Wait, you mean he's okay? Oh that makes me happy, tell…tell him I lo- I don't know where I am?” Blaine was saying unhelpfully with a look of confusion once again back on his face as he stared at Finn and said “I'm with someone who I punched apparently?”

Blaine directed the conversation back at Finn “Who are you? You're so tall-“

Blaine was using his hands to gesture to Finn as though measuring him with them.

“No, I'm not talking to you Jeffy I was talking to….I don't know his name? He has pretty hair though, not as pretty as Kurt though,”

The moment he heard Kurt's name Finn reached for the phone and took it of him “Sorry man, but I need to talk to whoever Jeffy is,”

 Finn let out an awkward cough and reached out for the mobile phone, taking it of Blaine and bringing it to his ear ignoring Blaine's whine at having lost contact with a familiar voice “Hey? Is this Jeffy speaking?”

“My name is Jeff mate, he only calls me that when he's teasing me or sick, who are you?”

“Finn, I'm Kurt's step brother, well kind of- I'm going to be his step brother,”

“You're the idiot that made Kurt run away from home,”

Finn cringed as he sighed “Yeah. I'm that idiot,”

Jeff was talking to someone presumably Kurt in the background as he said “It's Finn… Yeah, I don't know, I'm going to ask him, I think he's sick- He was calling me Jeffy, that's how I know, shh, if you guys let me ask him, I'll be able to find out! Now shh!”

“Are you a friend of Blaine's?” Finn asked as Jeff answered yes “Where is he? We were so worried man…and yes, I am a Warbler, the blonde dude?”

“Oh right!” Finn nodded as Blaine watched looking sleepy. Finn grabbed more cut up apple and encouraged Blaine to eat it. Or more like forced him to eat it as he shoved it in his hand and whispered “eat,”

“He's not doing good, he has a fever, and he's in one of the shelters, the lady in here said he was fine when he got here, but overnight they could tell he caught something out in that weather,”

“How did you come across him then?” Jeffy asked suspiciously. Then Finn explained how the glee club were looking after him. Quinn, Mercedes, Brittany and Tina had arrived back after volunteering to help other sick people and were trying to figure out who Finn was talking to but they could see it was to do with Blaine as he mentioned the sick boy every now and then so they kept quiet

“Can you get him to a hospital?” Jeff asked as Wes suggested the idea straight away.

Finn shook his head but forgot that Jeff couldn't see them “We already called an ambulance, if it's not a life/death situation it could be hours before they arrive, we're waiting for them,”

 David looked concerned and Kurt was hanging onto every word Jeff was saying at their end. “Let me talk to him,” Kurt requested and Jeff handed the phone “Finn?” He asked as Finn inhaled “-Kurt,”

“Is Blaine going to be okay?” Kurt asked immediately after hearing from Jeff he was sick, he had to know.

“I think so, he was really hot before, but I think it's starting to get better, he wasn't responding to us when we first saw him, but he's talking now obviously,”

“Finn if he is as sick as you say he is, please get him to a hospital and we can meet you there,”

“Like I said to Jeff, we already called an Ambulance, but it could be a while before they get here. Listen Kurt I'm really sorry about everything, I'll do whatever I can to help Blaine ,”

“Finn right now I don't care about what happened with us. Just make sure Blaine is okay. What shelter are you at?” Kurt asked as Finn hesitated “I don't know, hold on,” Quinn had just come over to the cot where Blaine was and sat down on the table next to his cot with Finn on the other chair. Finn lifted the phone of his ear and spoke to Quinn “Do you know what this place is called?”

Quinn frowned “No, Mr Schue knows,”

“Where is he?” Finn asked looking around. It was packed now. There was people everywhere, homeless and not homeless, even some cats and dogs were in there that had been wondering on the streets shivering.

She pointed to where he was talking with Emma Pillsbury near the food area, the school's councellor. Finn's eyes widened “What she doing here?” Quinn shrugged.

Artie came wheeling over and said hello to Blaine, he had overheard Finn talking and said “Were at Byran Park shelter, since it's the closest to the park that's why they named it that,”

“That can't be far from our hotel,” Finn said thoughtfully looking at Blaine who had fallen asleep again with his bowl of half eaten apple dangling in his hand. Quinn took it so it wouldn't drop on the cement as Artie nodded “It's about 10 minutes from there,”

Finn turned his attention back to his phone. “Hey Kurt, do you think you could meet us at Milton Hotel?”

“Meet you there? Finn, were already at the Milton hotel, why?”

“Good, I'll call you later,” Finn turned of his phone just as Kurt said “Finn, wait-!”

Rachel came by then and looked at the phone in Finn's hand “Whose phone is that?”

“It's Blaines, hey Rachel, help me find Puck and Mr Schue, Artie, can you help me find a warm blanket for him?” Artie rolled away without question but Sam and Mercedes came over with Tina, Brittany and Santana when they noticed their gang was splitting up. Brittany looked at Finn who had bent down to wrap his arms under the short boy and asked “What are you doing carrying Blaine Finn?”

“We're getting out of here,” Finn answered simply as he holstered Blaine up.
