Chapter 48

Nationals

Blaine and Sam already forgiving at each other and it's good because their friendship is my favorite friendship. Ryder become more over protective to me since that night tragedy, not because I trapped in a lift but it also because I trapped with my ex-boyfriend, Sam. And they found out that were hugging each other and that's the things that make Ryder become more over protective.

Today is the nationals day. Yep 2013 Nationals Show Choir Championship and I'm ready to face everything. Include that suck Jean Baptise who is like second Jesse St. Claus.

I'm sitting down on the edge of my bed and cross my leg. I close my eyes and place my hand on my lap. This is one of those yoga meditations and it helps me to become more focus and brave to face everything.

"Babe, the others already in the main lobby." Ryder's voice.

I dont answer him or make any move. I keep focusing with my meditation until something crash my lips. Ryder kissed me.

"Ryder!" I stop him.

"What?" He laughs.

"You ruin my meditations." I put my hand around his shoulder and pull him and make him fall ontop of me.

"You want to make out with me? We have nationals, baby." Ryder smirks at me.

"No. I'm mad at you because you ruin my meditations." I chuckle.

"Okay I'm sorry for that." Ryder says to me. "But the others already waiting for us in the lobby."

I just giggle and kiss him softly until he kiss me back and we giggle at each other.

"Alright, lets go." I stand up and take his hand.

"I think we can do a make out for five minutes." Ryder chuckles.

"No, they will kill us." I said to him and went out from my room.

Ryder hold my hand as we get into the glasses lift. I dont want to get into lift alone anymore. At least someone has to be with me.

We then get into the lobby and the others already waiting for us. My parents said that they will come today but I dont know they will come or not because no one of them call me or text me again.

"If mom and dad really come today, dont tell them about what happened with me in the lift okay." I whisper at Blaine.

"I wont. Dont worry." Blaine rubs my sleeve.

"Alright everybody is complete now so lets go to the bus." Mr. Schue says.

"Ms. Anderson, there is a letter from someone." A receptionist come to me and give me a letter.

I open that paper and read that.Hey, baby BI never know that you're in LA right now, wearing your nationals costume and I can guess that the nationals trophy is waiting for you right now. Well, good luck. Wish you all the best.Ps: look at the corner near lobby lounge.

"Fans letter?" Blaine asks me.

I shake my head. I close that paper and turn my face to the lobby lounge and find the corner until I see someone is standing there and cross his hand on his chest and smiling at me.

"Bas!" I shout and run to him.

Sebastian is smiling at me and walk to me. I run to him and hug him tight and he hug me back.

"Hey I miss you!" Sebastian hug me back.

"What are you doing in LA?" I raise my eyebrows.

"Having my vacation before go to London. I didnt know you are stay in this hotel too." Sebastian says to me.

"Hey Bas, how are you?" Blaine come to us.

"Hey Blaine, I'm good." Sebastian smiles at Blaine.

"You alone here?" Blaine asks.

"With my parents actually but they had meeting now so I'm here walking around until I saw you guys are here." Sebastian says.

"When is your departure time?" I ask Sebastian.

"Sunday. I still have two days here. Why?" Sebastian raises his eyebrows.

"Okay we also stay until Sunday so I guess we still have a lot of time to talk. See you, Bas." I smile at him and wave him a goodbye.

"Good luck, B!" Sebastian shouts. I just chuckle and smile at him. "You too, guys!"

"See you!" I shout and get into the bus.

"Isnt that guy from The Warblers?" Mr. Schue asks.

"Yes, Sebastian Smythe. Bianca's prince chipmunk, Mr. Schue." Blaine answers.

"Blaine, the one who usually called him chipmunks is you not me." I roll my eyes.

"Wow prince chipmunks haha." Artie laughs.

"What about Sam?" Tina asks.

"Prince donkey." Blaine laughs.

"And Ryder?" Tina asks again.

"According to Ryder's phone name in Bianca's phone, it's prince big bear." Blaine laughs.

"Mr. Schue, I dont want to have solo for today. They mocked me." I pouted.

"I'm sorry, Bianca. No changes." Mr. Schue chuckles.

"Ugh I hate you guys." I pouted and turn my face to the window as I get to the window seat.

"Haha just kidding, B." Blaine smirks at me.

I didnt say anything and look at the street. At least those mock can distracting me from my nerve to face nationals.

"Alright guys we already arrived." Mr. Schue says to us.

I take Blaine's hand and hold then half-smiled at him. Blaine turns his face and me and hold my hand back then smile at me. He knows that I'm kind of nervous right now.

"Blaine! Bianca!" A voice called us.

I turn my face and see our parents is standing in the main entrance with Mercedes, Finn, Burt, and Carole.

"You guys really come?" Blaine asks.

"We were about to not going but Burt called me that he is going with Carole and Finn so we also decided to go and take morning flight." Dad says.

"It's an honour to see you guys here." Mr. Schue smiles.

"Alright, how's the preparation?" Finn asks.

"I'm kind of nervous right now like really." I said to Finn.

"Calm down, this is your second nationals." Finn says to me.

"But today I will face Jean Baptise not Unique Adams, Finn." I frown at Finn.

"Girl, I think the one who should win the 2012 MVP Show Choir Championship was you not me. Your original song was really so much better than my setlist." Unique says to me.

"And you will get that 2013 MVP Show Choir Championship today. You will get that." Finn smiles at me.

"Come on, B. You can do it." Blaine try to calm me down.

"New Directions! Nice to see you here. I'm Jean Baptise from Throat Explotions and I'm ready to get the first place nationals trophy." He smirks at us and smirks at me.

"Throat Explotions! Hey! I'm Sam Evans, the leader of New Directions and we are ready to get our first place nationals trophy." Sam smirks at him and glare at his team.

"Well, see you pal on stage. Remember that your best singer are graduated." Jean Baptise says and walks off with his team follows him.

I turn my face at Finn and cover my face with my hand.

"Mr. Schue, can I take control of the glee club for now?" Finn asks Mr. Schue.

"Yeah sure, Finn." Mr. Schue nods.

"Alright, come on guys. I have a strategy in my mind." Finn takes my hand and walks lead us.

"He is right. We dont have Rachel, Santana, Mercedes, Kurt and Finn Hudson now. They graduated." I said sadly.

"Everything will be fine, B. Dont listen to that another Jesse St. Claus. We still have you, Blaine, Sam, and the others who is better than my generation. We will make it." Finn hold my sleeve.

"Finn is right, B. Dont listen to him. You make your own story." Mercedes smiles at me.

"Okay what strategy you have?" I ask Finn.

"Here......" Finn says as we make circle together.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

New Directions had a new strategy and it was Finn's idea and his idea is always better than Mr. Schue. I dont know why but he is.

Now we are sitting down on the audience seat and watching the performance by The Amazonias they sing Vacations by The Go-Go's.

And after this is my biggest enemy, Throat Explotions. Glad that we perform last so we can see what Throat Explotions will show so I can find any mistake in them and I can learn that.

The Amazonias finish their performance. We are standing and give them applause in an honour to support each other as the show choir.

"Guys, backstage in five minutes." Mercedes says to us.

I nod and turn my face to the stage. I want to see Throat Explotions performance for a while and make myself feel better and clean my nervous.

Throat Explotions doing a mash-up song. Mr. Roboto by Styx and Counting Stars by OneRepublic and Jean Baptise having all the solos.

"Come on, B." Blaine takes my hand and walk lead me.

We then walk to the backstage to having show circle before our show begin and our lives is depended by today.

"Finn's parents and the twins's parents want to join the show circle." Mr. Schue says to us. "Well show circle guys."

We then walk and make a circle together.

"We all the parents just want to say that we are so proud of you guys. I know how you guys been strugglin so far until face the nationals today." Burt says.

"Yeah and no matter what the judges say today, remember about how far you guys been through this. I always remind my student that the result is nothing, the thing is how far you get that." Mom says.

"You guys already listen to what these parents says right? Dont be afraid." Mr. Schue says.

"Before the show begin, I just wanna say that this is my best year in my life. I got into the university that I dreamed of and you guys trust me to have solo for nationals for the second times." My tears fall down. "And I dont know what happen today but if we lose and this glee club disband and before that happen, I just wanna say that I love being in glee club, it brights my day even though Mr. Schue might be feel annoy everytime I protest about his weekly assignment." I giggle. "In the two weeks, I will be graduate and being a college girl. I just wanna say thank you, Mr. Schue. Thank you so much. I wont forget everything you said." I said to Mr. Schue. "And to the sophomores, I hope that after these senior graduate, you guys can find another best new member and win the nationals again." I wipe my tears. "Okay no more." I smile at them and wipe my tears.

"In 3?" Mercedes raises her eyebrows.

I can see that Throat Explotions went out from the stage. My parents, Finn's parents and Mercedes go the audience seat.

I hold my hand and try to calm myself down before the show begin.

"Good luck, B. Everything will be okay." Finn says to me.

I smile at him and kissed his cheek. "Thank you so much, Finn."

"You're welcome." Finn smiles back at me. "Alright get ready now." Finn says to me and walk off.

"Ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the stage last year nationals winner from Lima, Ohio the New Directions!"

We ended up our performance with throw up our fist in the air and full of clapping and cheering filling this auditorium. I turn my face at the others then smile at them until my eyes landed on Sam.

"Thanks." I mimic at him and smile at him.

"It's okay." He nods and smile back at me.

Did I mention you guys? When I was in the toilet and waiting for the show begin. Sam came to me and he gave me a cute hair clip and he said that it was a lucky hair clip he got from the walmart.

Sounds funny and stupid but appreciate what he gave me and I just hope that Ryder didnt know about this because day by day I feel guilty with all of this.

The curtains lift down and then we cheering happily while walking to the green room. Everything what judges gonna say, I'm ready to face it.

"I can't explain the feeling's plain to me, so can't you see? How can I tell you about my loved one? Ah, you gave me more, you gave it all to me, so can't you see? How can I tell you about my loved one?" Blaine singing as he hold my hand and place it on his chest.

"Listen, Sebastian sang that song to me more than once. First he sang it with The Warblers on sectionals and he told me that he dedicated this song for me and second on my sixteenth birthday before we went to London. So stop singing Silly Love Song because I'm sick to hear that." I said to Blaine.

"What any other song that Sebastian ever sang to you?" Blaine raises his eyebrows.

"Many songs but I love when he sang I Want You Back by Michael Jackson with The Warblers when we want to stole our nationals trophy back." I chuckle.

"And that was the reason you want to get into his arm?" Blaine asks.

"Of course not. I was about to safe New Directions." I roll my eyes.

"You're wrong, Blaine. Sing her a song like this." Finn takes my hands. "Dance with me." Finn smiles at me.

Blaine plays the music from his iPod and connected it to the tape.

New Directions:Uuuuhhhhh, ah-ah-aaahhAh-ah-aaahh-ah ah-ah-ah

Finn:OoohHer eyes, her eyes make the stars look like they're not shiningHer hair, her hair falls perfectly without her tryingShe's so beautiful and I tell her everyday

Yeah I know, I know when I compliment her she won't believe meAnd it's so, it's so sad to think that she don't see what I seeBut every time she asks me "Do I look okay?" I say

Finn with New Directions:When I see your faceThere's not a thing that I would change'Cause you're amazingJust the way you areAnd when you smileThe whole world stops and stares for a while'Cause girl you're amazingJust the way you are

Finn:YeaaahHer lips, her lips I could kiss them all day if she let meHer laugh, her laugh she hates but I think it's so sexyShe's so beautiful and I tell her everyday (New Directions: I tell her everyday)

Oh you know, you know, you know I'd never ask you to changeIf perfects what you're searching for then just stay the sameSo don't even bother asking if you look okay you know I'll say

Finn (New Directions):When I see your face (When I see your face)There's not a thing that I would change'Cause you're amazing (You're amazing)Just the way you areAnd when you smile (When you smile )The whole world stops and stares for a while'Cause girl you're amazing (You're amazing)Just the way you are (Ahhh-ah-ah-ah)The way you are...

Finn ended up his song and give me his bear hug. He is so much taller than me and when he hug me it's like I'm hugging my big barney.

"Thank you so much, Finn." I smile at Finn.

"Come on guys, its the winner announcement." Mercedes says to us.

We then walk out from the green room. Blaine take my hand and hold it tight as we walk together to the stage.

"We will win this!" Blaine says to me.

I just nodded and let out a sigh until we got into the stage and holding our hands each other. I'm holding Blaine's and Artie's hand really hard.

"Ladies and gentlemen this is the time that we are waiting for." The judges said.

"But before we tell who is the winner of nationals this year. Let me tell you 2013 MVP Show Choir Championship and it goes to......"

I close my eyes and hold Blaine's hand really hard. I'm not sure gonna win this because Jean Baptise was freak me out.

"And the 2013 MVP Show Choir Championship goes to.... Bianca Anderson from New Directions!"

Sound of clapping and cheering make me open my eyes and hug Blaine for a while then walk to the front to get my MVP trophy. The judges give me the MVP trophy also a bucket of white roses.

"Congratulations!" The judges smiles at me.

"Thank you." I smile back at them and walk back to my line with New Directions.

I hold my own trophy with my right hand and hold Blaine's hand with my left hand.

"And this is time for the winner. On the fourth place goes to...... Vicious Harmony!" The judges says and give the trophy to them.

"On the third place goes to... The Amazonias!" They give the trophy to them.

I close my eyes and hope for the best this time. I really hope this like really.

"And now this is the time that we are really waiting for and only the best of the best who can win this." A judge said.

"And for second place goes to...... Throat Explotions! Which mean that the winner for 2013 Nationals Show Choir Championship is New Directions!!!!" The judges said and give us the biggest trophy.

Mr. Schue hold the trophy and throw it up to the air. We are hugging and cheering together. This is amazing because our glee club wont be disbanded and no one cant stop us. The nationals champion.
