'Ugh, it's gonna be a long week' I thought as I walked down the halls of McKinley high. Sectionals were less than 2 months away and we are nowhere near ready. To make matters worse our star lead, Rachel Berry leaves for 2 weeks. I asked her why she was going but she seemed to avoid the topic and just said 'that she needed break and that her father's wanted some bonding time'. I knew she wasn't telling me the whole truth, I mean she is usually all around happy but for the last week she seemed less of her chipper self. The weird thing is for the past 2 years she has been leaving for "vacation" the same time each year, I asked her why and she nearly bit my head off. She said it was none of my business and stormed off but instead of anger she looked sad, and there was pain in her eyes. I decided not to press the subject and told her to have fun on her vacation.
She is coming back on Monday and I'm glad, though she can be a tad bit annoying, she has a wonderful voice and with her we can defiantly place in sectionals. But problems keep arising. One of the numbers we are doing involves the male soloists. I had chosen Finn, Puck, and Artie to do this number, but the problem is that the song involves dancing and since Artie is confined to a wheelchair he can't do the number. The second problem is that none of the other guys in glee had voices that could harmonize with the others to pull off the number, and problem number 3, how was I suppose to find someone who could sing the part perfectly, learn the dance moves, and got along great with everyone in less than 2 months? We had major work to do.
I turned left down the hallway to get to the music room. Then I heard someone strumming the guitar. Naturally I thought it was Puck or one of the other glee kids but this was a stranger. The door was open so I could see his face but I'm sure I've instead of have never seen him before. 'Maybe he's new' I thought. I was about to ask him what he was doing here when he started to sing……
Wait, I'm wrong
Should have done better than this
Please, I'll be strong
I'm finding it hard to resist
So show me what I'm looking for
I was blown away, he had a great voice. It would go perfectly with the guy's number.
Save me, I'm lost
Oh Lord, I've been waiting for you
I'll pay any cost
Save me from being confused
Show me what I'm looking for
Show me what I'm looking for…oh Lord
Don't let go
I've wanted this far too long
Mistakes become regrets
I've learned to love abuse
Please show me what I'm looking for
Save me, I'm lost
Oh Lord, I've been waiting for you
I'll pay any cost
Save me from being confused
Show me what I'm looking for
Show me what I'm looking for…oh Lord
Yes! I had found my third male! I was so excited. I just hope he would accept my offer to join. Most guys don't want to join glee. By the looks of him he looked like a strong jock. So I tried not to get my hopes up if he said no.
Show me what I'm looking for
Show me what I'm looking for
Show me what I'm looking for
Save me, I'm lost
Oh Lord, I've been waiting for you
I'll pay any cost
Just save me from being confused
Wait, I'm wrong
I can't do better than this
I'll pay any cost
Save me from being confused
Show me what I'm looking for
Show me what I'm looking for
Show me what I'm looking for
Show me what I'm looking for…oh Lord
"That was wonderful." He turned and looked at me. I guess he hadn't noticed I was there.
"Thanks. Who are you anyway?" he asked, putting the guitar down.
"I'm Will Shuster. I'm in charge of the glee club, I think you have an amazing voice and I'd love if you joined us." I said, shaking his hand. He looked at me for a second.
"Sure, why not, I've got nothing better to do. The name is Jason by the way."
"Great we have practice today at 3 everyday in this room, and we sometimes practice in the auditorium, you can meet the other members." I said. I was happy nothing could mess this up.
"Great. We have practice every day at 3 p.m.; you'll meet the rest of the group then. We usually meet in here in the choir room but we do, sometimes, practice in the auditorium." I said. I was happy and thought that nothing could mess this up.
Author's pov:
As Mr. Shue left the room happy that he had just found his soloist, he couldn't help but think what a great coincidence it was to find him. But it wasn't. As he left Jason smiled cockily. His plan was working perfectly. He couldn't wait to meet the rest of the glee club. But there was one person he had been waiting for 2 years to see….
Puck's pov:
So there is this new guy in glee, Jason, and he seems pretty cool or whatever. I mean he has a killer voice and he gets along with everyone, except me. I don't know what it is about him but I don't trust him. I mean he just walts in here like he owns the place is all that and has all the girls falling at his feet. It's not that I'm jealous, and trust me I'm not, it just seems like he is hiding something.
First he comes in and meets everyone, and then he asks why everyone isn't here? The only person not here is Rachel. How did he know how many people are in glee? I mean he is new right? Why would he know that one of us wasn't here? Then when we told him about Rachel he got this look on his face, like he knew her. But then he kept asking questions about her. Wondering where she was and stuff, I mean seriously Berry isn't that interesting of a topic. Whenever someone would mention her he got this creepy ass look on his face. I don't know what that was all about, but I figured that everyone else would say I was crazy and I decided to just keep my mouth shut. Practice went good and the number that Finn, Jason, and I were doing is close to perfection. I was glad to get the heck out of there, it was Friday and I had plans that didn't involve worrying about the new guy.
Monday came quick, like always, the day dragged on and I saw Berry bouncing up and down the halls in her happy go lucky attitude. I don't see how that girl could be so happy all the time. I mean really she always had a smile on her face, well except for about 3 weeks ago. Before she left for her so called "vacation", with her dads she didn't seem her normal self. Her smile was fake and she didn't talk as much and Rachel Berry is ALWAYS talking. I didn't bother asking what was wrong because I overheard Finn asking her and she told him it was nothing. Now if she wouldn't tell lover boy then I knew there was no way in hell she was going to tell me.
I walked into glee practice and sat down next to Quinn, who was staring at Finn, who was staring at Rachel. It was obvious that Finn had a thing for Rachel and we all knew she had a thing for him. What kills me is how Quinn could stay with him knowing that. I mean she lies to him telling him that the baby is his even though it's mine and to top it all off she knows he has feelings for someone else. This is turning out to be a weird love triangle.
Mr. Shue hands Rachel the sheet music, and she looks at him like he is crazy.
"This is a bit depressing don't you think Mr. Shue?" She said, eying the sheet music in question.
"I thought we would spice it up a bit today. Don't worry it's just for practice. I thought that we could have some fun today." He said, trying to get her not to argue. That's one thing she loved to do.
She sat down at the piano and started playing, seconds later she started singing.
Sometimes life seems too quiet
Into paralyzing silence
Like the moonless dark
Meant to make me strong
Familiar breath of my old lies
Changed the color in my eyes
Soon he will perforate the fabric of the peaceful by and by
Oh god what was he thinking giving her this emo rock song. By now Artie had started playing the guitar in the background.
Sorrow lasts through this night
I'll take this piece of you
And hold for all eternity
For just one second I felt whole
As you flew right through me
Left alone with only reflections of the memory
To face the ugly girl
That's smothering m
Sitting closer than my pain
He knew each tear before it came
Soon he will perforate the fabric of the peaceful by and by
Sorrow lasts through this night
Jason walks in late and is staring at Rachel with this creepy look; it's a mixture of desire and rage. I mean sure Berry is hot but what's with the rage? What did she do to you? This guy is so weird. He takes a seat in the center of the room in direct view of the piano. So the second Rachel looks up from the piano she will see him. He was staring at her with a death glare. I'm sure I'm not the only one who noticed it.
I'll take this piece of you
And hold for all eternity
For just one second I felt whole
As you flew right through me
And we kiss each other one more time
And sing this lie that's halfway mine
The sword is slicing through the question
So I won't be fooled by his angel lig-
She lifts her head and stops. She's looking at Jason, her eyes were filled with fear. She just sat there staring at him as he glared back at her. What the hell is going on?
"W…Wh…What are you doing here?" She asked, her voice was hoarse and she was stuttering. Rachel never stutters. She rose from her seat backing away from the piano. She was shaking, and she looked terrified. She ran out of the room and he ran quickly behind her. We all sat and stared at each other wondering what the hell just happened. So I did what everyone else was to chicken to do. I got up and ran after them. I found Berry two hallways down crying her eyes out.
"Whats wrong?"
