Hey guys! So here is my first glee story. This will be mostly focused on Livvie, Willie, and Danny, however, everyone will be included at some parts! I promise! I hope you guys like this, and I hope it turns out like I am planning it to.

Also, some of these things, especially her obstacles, are based on what I saw in Demi Lovato's MTV special "Stay Strong". Demi is such an inspiration and I love her. Not only is she a wondeful singer/actress, but she is an incredible person. Her strength is amazing and makes her even more awesome.

If you or someone that you know is struggling emotionally, head to or call 1-800-273-8255 for immediate help.

I got this from "Stay Strong, so if your are struggling please seek help. Even if you feel like no one cares or no one loves you, please remember that I do. I love you all so much and your reviews make me feel so good. If you need to talk about ANYTHING, please PM me. I am here for you always. 3


Throughout life you will come across two types of "firsts". There are the obvious ones, like your first words, your first tooth, your first steps, your first day of school, your first boyfriend/girlfriend, etc. Then there are the less obvious; the ones that come as your life progresses in a certain direction. No one really knows what these firsts will be, and not all of them are good, like your first car accident, your first bully, the first time someone makes fun of you for having gay parents, or the first time you get arrested. When they're happening, you never really understand why these unexpected firsts had to happen to you. Then eventually, you'll step back and realize that these are the lessons in our lives that define us, and if we can overcome these obstacles, we get stronger. While it isn't easy, these are the things in life that test us and make us into the people we are supposed to be.


She knows exactly what to do, whenever I'm alone with her.
I can barely make a move by the time the she opens up her eyes.

She sings to me at night.
She singing: Ba da ba ba ba da ba ba ba da ba ba
I know that she barely knows me, and I'm fake in love with her.
It's like I'm singing karaoke, and I forgot the second verse.
But I can make up my own words.

Oh Dakota, I know our love is new.
I barely know you. I've fallen over you.
It's the way you do the things you do that make me fall in love with you.
Oh Dakota, are you in love with me too.

Livvie Anderson-Hummel sat at her desk, writing in a notebook. Her phone was next to her, and every few minutes she sent a text to her friend. Her stomach was in knots as she heard people arriving for Thanksgiving dinner and she continually took a deep breath to calm herself.

"'Sup, Liv?"

She put a smile on her face and turned to see her cousin, Willie, and friend Danny walking into her room. "Did you guys just get here?"

Danny nodded as he flopped onto her bed and she rolled her eyes. "Yep. Mom and Aunt Rachel are helping your dad get the food and table ready while Dad and Uncle Finn help your dad get the football game on."

She nodded. To most people, that sentence would be confusing, but after having gay parents for 10 years, she was used to understanding which dad everyone was referring to. "Sounds good." She grabbed her remote and turned down the music.

As her phone lit up and she hurriedly replied to her friend, Danny and Willie glanced at each other. "So how are you feeling?"

She bit her lip and paused. "Nervous." She sighed. "This is my first big meal since I got out of treatment."

"We know." They nodded. "Well, then I guess it is a good thing we are here." Willie smirked.


Flashback

Livvie took a deep breath as she pulled her car into her parking spot and got out. She faced her school and didn't move. It was the first day back after summer, and that summer everything had been different. She knew that other than her family no one knew about her secrets, but standing there she felt completely vulnerable.

She suddenly felt two people grab both of her arms and drag her away from the car. "Hey!"

"You have to go in there eventually, and we have Spanish with Uncle Will in ten minutes. If you are late, he is going to worry, and call your dads." Willie pointed out and Danny nodded.

"But-"

Danny faced her. "It's going to be fine, Liv. No one knows and they aren't going to find out. We all promised not to say anything. We're with you, remember? Don't you just want to get this over with?"

She hesitated and then nodded. "Not really, but I have no choice." Taking a deep breath, she allowed her best friends to guide her into the building.


She nodded. "I guess…I'm just feeling like I am not ready for this."

"You are." Danny said. "I know it's scary, but you're ready and we are here to help if you need us."

Willie nodded and watched his best friend struggle with her thoughts. He looked at Danny and they both knew that this would be a hard day for her. Ever since she had gotten out of the treatment center, they had all been wondering how this day would go. As far as her eating disorder, she took it day by day and yes…there were days that she would slip up but she would battle this for the rest of her life, and if they got through the day it gave her a little bit more strength to continue.

She was about to open her mouth to speak again, when they heard footsteps coming upstairs and eight year old Molly Schuester stood in the doorway. "Uncle Kurt said to tell you that dinner is ready." Then she ran out of the room again.

The boys smirked at their "cousin", and looked back at Livvie. "You can do this. It's just like the first day of school."

She nodded and took a deep, calming breath. She stood, and slid a bunch of bracelets onto her wrist to cover her scars. Then she turned and intertwined her hands with the boys' and slowly made her way down the stairs to get through this holiday with her loud, crazy family.


There is chapter one! I am going to continue writing tonight and then I have spring break next week (thank God), so I will continue to write! Let me know what you think or if you want to see something specific happen! :) Thanks guys!
