Finn's POV
All of us were backstage watching Rachel as she performed her song 'Get It Right' for regionals. She stepped out on stage slowly looking at the crowd in front of her. She stood in front of the microphone ready to sing exactly what she was feeling. She looked to the pianist and nodded to him to start playing.
The music started. Anticipation was rising. Then, she opened her mouth. I swore I heard an angel. Her voice was so light and gentle. I stared at her in awe, speechless.
The chorus came around and I realized I was smiling. She had finally done it. All of her other songs she had written over the past few weeks have been kinda, you know, bad. I didn't want to tell her that though because I didn't want to hurt her feelings. I just let her know that she needed to dig into the real pain deep inside her that couldn't find its way out.
I don't know how she did it but she did. The true pain that's been buried deep inside of her has finally escaped through her mouth. I could tell she's had all this bottled up since we broke up. I suddenly felt really bad.
This song was about me. I made her feel this way. I made a terrible mistake by ending things after I found out she had cheated on me with Puck. Every girl I've ever dated has cheated on me, with him. It felt like it was a continuous thing.
I could feel someone staring at me. I looked out of the corner of my eye and there stood Quinn, my girlfriend right behind me. I could feel her just standing there, staring at me, not caring about our team mates performance at all. Her eyes like, never moved off of me. It was weird.
I know Quinn is my girlfriend, but it doesn't seem like she should be. It feels like she's just using me to win Prom Queen. It doesn't even seem like she even cares about me or my feelings at all. Who wants someone like that?
Rachel was getting close to finishing her song. I realized that everything that has happened in the past few months have been completely wrong. I was supposed to be with Rachel, not Quinn.
The crowd roared into applauds and screaming, she had gotten a standing ovation.
Rachel did an amazing job.
The rest of us went on stage to sing 'Loser like me'. That was a definite crowd pleaser.
After we sang, we were all bowing. I "ended up" (actually went there on purpose) next to Rachel. I gave her a giant hug, letting her know how fantastic she did.
Quinn didn't like that too much. She did the whole staring-at-me-while-I-was-staring-at-Rachel thing.
If she doesn't like it, then she doesn't have to worry about it for much longer.
