"Why would you thank us Blaine?" Wes asked smiling at him.
"We all just thought that after what you've been through recently you might need a little reminder that we're all here for you, and even though there are some small minded assholes out there, there are also loads of people who love you for who you are." David finished.
"So without further ado, there are a few more people who wanted to remind you they cared." Wes said as the New Directions began to walk onto the stage.
"We called in some reinforcements." David said with a wink as the New Directions began to harmonize in the background as the Warblers began to make their way back onto the stage.

You know the bed feels warmer,
Sleeping here alone,

Santana began to sing, stepping forward to the front of the stage to be joined moments later by Nick who took the next couple of lines.

You Know I dream in colour,
And do the things I want.

You think you got the best of me,
Think you had the last laugh,
Bet you think that everything good is gone.

Jeff sang joining Santana and Nick at the front of the stage. As Tina then took a step forward joining them as she began to sing.

Think you left me broken down,
Think that I’d come running back,
Baby you don’t know me,
Cause you’re dead wrong.

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger,
Stand a little taller,
Doesn’t mean I’m lonely when I’m alone.

The rest of the Warblers and New Directions sang and harmonised for the chorus. Kurt squeezed Blaine’s hand in his and leant over to give him a quick kiss on the cheek, before drawing away from him and starting to sing, holding onto Blaine’s hand as long as he could before he made his way onto the stage and sang the next few lines.

What doesn’t kill you makes a fighter,
Footsteps even lighter,
Doesn’t mean I’m over ‘cause you’re gone.

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, stronger.
Just me, myself and I,

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger,
Stand a little taller,
Doesn’t mean I’m lonely when I’m alone.

You heard that I was starting over with someone new,
They told you I was moving on over you,
You didn’t think that I’d come back,
I’d come back swinging,
You try to break but you see...

For the rest of the song Blaine watch with teary eyes as the group of friends in front of him, which had doubled since Kurt came into his life, sang to him. The boy who until he came to Dalton, had no friends in his life, no one who would have even thought of doing anything like this for him after he came out. Now he did. Looking up at the stage, Blaine was overwhelmed by the amount of love the group of people in front of him were giving off.

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger,
Stand a little taller,
Doesn’t mean I’m lonely when I’m alone.

What doesn’t kill you makes a fighter,
Footsteps even lighter,
Doesn’t mean I’m over ‘cause you’re gone.

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, stronger.
Just me, myself and I,

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger,
Stand a little taller,
Doesn’t mean I’m lonely when I’m alone.

Thanks to you I got a new thing started, Santana stepped forward again as she sang.

Thanks to you I’m not the broken hearted, Tina sang as she moved back next to Santana at the front of the stage

Thanks to you I’m finally thinking about me, David sang as he joined the two girls, being follows by Wes who took the next line.

You know in the end the day I left was just my beginning...

In the end,

Kurt began to sing again, looking directly into Blaine’s eyes from his position on the stage, before his voice was joined by the others as they sang the rest of the song together.

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger,
Stand a little taller,
Doesn’t mean I’m lonely when I’m alone.

What doesn’t kill you makes a fighter,
Footsteps even lighter,
Doesn’t mean I’m over ‘cause you’re gone.

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, stronger.
Just me, myself and I,

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger,
Stand a little taller,
Doesn’t mean I’m lonely when I’m alone.
You’re not alone.

Blaine sat there in awe of his friends as they finished singing to him, and then proceeded to move towards the back of the stage leaving Wes and David in the front. He focused his attention on them, tears still prickling in his eyes as the pair of them began to sing.

“There’s one last thing Blaine.” Wes said, panting slightly as they finished singing and Blaine was on his feet applauding them.
“What’s that?” Blaine asked a smile playing on his lips.
“Just because of another bad thing happening to you, don’t lose faith in who you are. You’re not defined by your sexuality, there are always going to be people who don’t agree with you, but just remember that right now, in this moment, there are over twenty people on this stage, all of whom love you for who you are.” David said with a smile. “Now, who wants to go get some food?” David asked, eliciting a unanimous cheer from the rest of the group.
The warblers and New Directions filtered off the stage chatting, to go and change, agreeing to meet in the Italian restaurant nearby. As they left, leaving Wes, David, Kurt and Santana on the stage, Blaine made his way onto the stage as quickly as he could to join them.
“Thank you for this, guys, you really didn’t have to do any of this.” Blaine said as he joined them, pulling the four of them towards him for a group hug.
“Of course we had to do this Blaine.” Wes said as they all pulled back from the hug. “You’re one of our best friends, so obviously we’ll be here when you need us most.”
At his words, Blaine pulled them all back in for another hug, ignoring the dull ache it was causing his ribs.
“So, shall we go join the others for some food?” he asked pulling back again.
“Not yet, the four of us had one last song for you.” Kurt said taking Blaine’s arm and guiding him to the stool that David had just brought onto the stage. “Now, sit and enjoy.” Kurt said sitting him down, and kissing his cheek before moving to join Wes, David and Santana in front of Blaine.

Once he was in place with the other three, Wes pressed a button on the remote to the sound system, and music began to filter out.
Calm your nerves now,
Don't worry,
Just breathe.
Are you sure now?
Don't bother packing,
Just leave.

Said they wanted change,
I hope that,
You remain the same.
To show that
This is not a game.
Let’s end this tragedy today...

Now take my hand
And we will run away.
Down to this place that I know.
How did this night become the enemy?
It's over. It's over. It's over.

Lay down with me,
Let me hold you,
Baby just breathe.
This is ending and we will get through eventually.

Said they wanted change.
I hope that
You remain the same.
To show that this is not a game
We'll end this tragedy today...

Now take my hand
And we will run away
Down to this place that I know
How did this night become the enemy
It's over. It's over. It's over.

Take my hand
And we will run away,
Down to this place that I know.
How did this night become the enemy?
It's over. It's over. It's over now.

We won’t be a part of
We won’t be a part of this
We won’t be a part of
We won’t be a part of this
We won’t be a part of
We won’t be a part of this
We won’t be a part of
We won’t, we won’t.

Take my hand
And we will run away
Down to this place that I know
How did this night become the enemy
It's over. It's over. It's over.

Now take my hand
And we will run away
Down to this place that I know
How did this night become the enemy
It's over. It's over. It's over.

Take my hand
And we will run away
Down to this place that I know
How did this night become the enemy
It's over. It's over. It's over.

We won’t be a part of
We won’t be a part of this
We won’t be a part of
We won’t, we won’t.
“Thank you.” Blaine said unshed tears in his eyes as he got up to hug his friends again.
“Like the song said Blaine, we, as in all five of us, will get through what’s happened with you. We’re here for you every step of the way.” Santana said ruffling his hair and kissing his temple.
“So, we’d better start making a move,” Wes said moving the stall back to where it had come from on the side of the stage.
“Yeah, come on, let’s go. We don’t want to be too late, with Finn and the warblers there they may not actually be any food left for us if we don’t get there soon.” Kurt said taking Blaine’s hand, Santana linking her arm through his other arm, as the five of them made their way off the stage and out towards the parking lot.
...
Twenty minutes later, the back room of the small Italian Restaurant, Lorenzo’s, not far from Dalton was alive with laughter and chatter, coming from the large number of both Dalton and McKinley students who were gathered around a long table which had been pushed together by the staff.
A mixture of empty plates and fresh pizza met their eyes as the five of them walked in.
“Thank God you’re here!” Tina said coming up to them, “We managed to keep Finn away from the pizza for as long as we could. What took you so long?” She asked, leading them over to the section of the table where Mike was sat surrounded by empty seats.
“You guys were both awesome.” Blaine said sitting down across from Mike, “Especially you Tina, I didn’t know you were that good.” He said smiling at her.
“Thank you.” Tina said smiling and blushing at his praise as she sat back down next to Mike. “So, are you looking forward to going back on Monday?” She asked looking at him as he took a bite from the pizza that was on the table in front of him. Wes and David falling into conversation with Mercedes, who was sat on their other side.
“I think so.” Blaine said after swallowing. “As much as I love these two, I think it will be nice to see other people and get out the house for a little while.” Blaine said nodding towards Kurt and Santana who were talking with Brittany, who had just joined them.
“They’re worried about you, you know?” Mike said looking at them with a sad smile.
“I know,” Blaine sighed, “I’ve told them not to but...” he said leaving the sentence hanging, unsure how to finish it.
“But they both love you, so it’s their job.” Mike finished for him, smiling and squeezing Tina’s hand in his.
“I know.” Blaine said smiling at the couple’s display of affection. “They just shouldn’t have to.” He said with a shrug.
Mike and Tina both nodded in response, “So, did you see the Buckeye’s game the other night?” Mike asked changing the subject and taking a bit of pizza.

Kurt looked up from his conversation with Santana and Brittany, to find Blaine deep in discussion with Mike and Nick who had taken Tina’s seat, as she left to go and talk to Mercedes, Wes and David. Smiling to himself, Kurt reached out and took Blaine’s hand in his, smiling again when Blaine looked up giving him a small smile, and his hand a squeeze.
I love you! Kurt mouthed at him.
I love you too. Blaine mouthed giving Kurt’s hand another squeeze and glancing back to Mike and Nick, who were still talking, before turning back, kissing Kurt’s wrist and returning back to his conversation, but keeping their hands joined on the table.
