And that's what you've missed on glee
3rd A/N: this installment is a little darker and deals with bullying, WARNING there will be character deaths. As always please read and review J
Finn sat on the roof of Rachel's house. His shoes sat beside the blanket that Rachel had laid down for them to sit on. He laid back resting his head on his forearm as he stared up at the night sky. Summer would be over soon He dreaded the idea of going back to school but thoughts of glee and performing made the idea tolerable. Beside him Rachel sat with her knees drawn up to her chest as she rested her head on top of them while in the middle of rambling on about some musical to Santana who sat silently next to her .
He thought it was strange how close the three of them had become. Especially since He had over heard the conversation between Quinn and Rachel in the auditorium but as much as he tried to look for any sign of wrong doings, he could find none. Rachel was a spectacular girlfriend and Santana, surprisingly was a good friend. But that didn't change the feeling he got sometimes that if he weren't involved the two girls would have a very different relationship.
" Finn? Finn?"
Rachels voice pulled him away from his thoughts and he lifted his head up surprised that both Santana and Rachel were looking at him expectantly.
" Uh-"
" you weren't listening were you?" Rachel said with a pout.
He shook his head sheepishly and Santana gave him a shame on you face before she realized that Rachel was watching her and her face fell into a innocent smile. Sitting up he said, " sorry, what were you saying?"
" That I cant believe summer is almost over" Rachel said.
Woah, was Rachel reading his mind.
" everything's going to be different when school starts back up"
He saw Santana's eyes fade into thought as she looked out over the quiet houses.
" it doesn't have to change" Finn said encouragingly, " we've still got glee"
Rachel smiled and placed her hand against his cheek, " I know but it wont be the same. Everybody is going to start worrying about popularity and status and what everyone else thinks and -"
Finn stopped her rant with a soft kiss, " Then lets make a pact, that no matter what happens at school we always remember this moment, this closeness and despite what everyone else might do or say that we watch each others back, all of the glee kids. If we know we have each other the other stuff doesn't seem so bad"
Rachel beamed up at him and nodded her head, taking Finns hand in hers before looking over at Santana. Finn looked over at her too, and smiled.
Santana rolled her eyes but laid her hand on top of both of theirs with a smile of her own.
I walked across an empty land, I knew the pathways like the back of my hand" Finn sang as they sat with their hands joined, " I felt the earth beneath my feet, sat by the river it made me feel complete"
Rachel smiled and joined in with the second verse. Her voice was clear in the night, " Oh simple thing, where have you gone?, Im getting old and need something to rely on"
" so tell me when your going to let me in" her eyes flickered towards Santana briefly, " I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin"
" I came across a fallen tree" Quinn sang as she walked by the fence that surrounded the football field. Her fingers sliding against the chain link as she passed, " I felt the branches of it looking at me"
She remembered the way it had felt to be standing in front of a crowd, cheering and performing. It seemed like another life time, " is this the place we used to love? Is this the place that Ive been dreaming of"
Mercedes stared up into Sams eyes as they stood on her front porch. Her parents had gone out for a business dinner and she had no idea where Quinn had gotten off too but at the moment all she could think about was how beautiful Sams eyes were and what it would feel like if he were to kiss her right now.
" oh simple thing where have you gone, Im getting old and I need something to rely on" Mercedes sang.
"Sam rested his forehead against hers and she thought her heart was going to explode from her chest to get away from the nervousness that she felt. His voice was deep, " So tell me when your gonna let me in. Im getting tired and I need somewhere to begin"
As one they sang " and if you have a moment why don't we go"
" talk about it somewhere only we know" Sam and Mercedes sang.
" this could be the end of everything, so " Quinn sang.
" why don't we go" Finn sang, smiling. Santana swayed to the music.
" somewhere only we now" Rachel added, she too was moving to the beat.
" Oh simple thing where have you gone?' Puck crooned from his back yard sipping on a beer he had stolen from the refridgerator, " Im getting old and need something to rely on"
" so tell me when your going to let me in" Blaine sang as he and Kurt strolled hand in hand through the park. Kurt smiled wide and sang, " im getting tired and I need somewhere to begin.
" and if you have a minute why don't we go" Tina sang as her and Mike sat in the bed of his truck. He smiled at her before kissing her hand, " talk about it somewhere only we know" Their voices joined together as they stared into each others eyes.
" this could be the end of everything" Artie sang from his chair, he stared up at the sky," So why don't we go? So why don't we go?"
" this could be the end of everything so why don't we go" they all sang.
" Somewhere only we know" Finn and Rachel sang as they each held one of Santanas hands.
" Somewhere only we know" Mercedes and Sam sang before their lips finally met.
" Somewhere only we know" Quinn sang before walking away from the fence.
Finn looked at the girls sitting beside him. The future looked better then ever.
ONE WEEK LATER: last friday of summer and Pucks end of the summer bash extravaganza was in full swing.
The base thumped, and the sounds of laughter could be heard down the street. He sneered at their arrogance. They didn't care that people may have been bothered by the noise although no one but him seemed to be paying any attention the party at all. His heart pounded but he felt calm as he pulled the guns from his book bag. They each held six shots and he twirled the chamber on both when he loaded them. Everything came down to this moment.
The plan was simple, He refused to have another year full of bullying, and slushy facials, and atomic wedgies, and he had gone over it a thousand times. He would go in take out anybody he deemed as a threat, and he already had a few people in mind.
He straightened the webcam he had hinging from his rearview mirror, " Jacob Ben Israel here and this is going to be a night that no one will forget"
With one final sigh he got out of his car and stalked towards the house. The webcam watched until he disappeared from view
Quinn laughed as she twirled and moved her body to the beat. Tina danced behind her as they sang along with the lyrics.
She met Rachels gaze from across the room and smiled wide at her friend who was also up and dancing. Everything seemed perfect. Good friends. Good music. Good times.
She didn't even feel the bullet as it ripped through her but the blood was warm as it seeped through her shirt. Quinn sunk to her knees. People began to scream.
Jacob watched Quinn fall to the floor and moved his gun towards the next target. People ran panicked from the house and he knew ha had to do this quick before the cops showed up. He was surprised at how calm he felt and was beginning to enjoy the weight of the guns in his hand. Puck came into sight and he squeezed the trigger once more. The football player flew backwards his head hitting the side of the mantel before he too fell.
Two down he thought as he pushed himself through the panicked crowd. He passed the gun over Mike Chang who had always been nice to him, and skipped over Sam who was trying to protect Mercedes and Sugar. When Karofsky came into view Jacob couldn't help the viscous smile that crept across his face and pulled the trigger. Dave went down with a thud, grabbing his chest from where the bullet had exploded into his heart.
More people began to scream. He had one more target.
He scanned the faces in the crowd until he found the one he was looking for.
" Santana" He whispered as he raised his gun to aim at the frightened girl.
All the years of torment, and ridicule coursed though his body and he stepped closer,
" Not so intimidating now are you?" he asked bitterly and she flinched away from the gun.
" I want to hear you beg for mercy" he was loosing control and he could feel it, " I want to hear you apologize before I shoot you"
Santana said nothing. Her eyes darted around as if looking for help and Jacob couldn't believe that even with a gun trained on her she was still such a bitch.
" Say your sorry" he said through gritted teeth practically shoving the gun in her face. She stood, rubbing her fist across her chest in a circular motion but remained silent.
" Say it" he screamed at her knocking her legs out from under her. She stayed on her knees, rubbing her fist across her chest and silent tears streaming down her cheeks, " Say it" he demanded putting the gun to the back of her head.
" She cant speak" came a voice from the crowd and keeping the gun on Santana he used the other to point at the person talking. It was Rachel Berry, " She cant speak Jacob she cant tell you what you want to hear she hasn't been able to speak since the accident"
He remembered hearing something about the cheerleader over the summer but couldn't remember the details, " I wonder if she will make a sound when I shoot her" He said but before he could do anything he was tackled to the floor. One of the guns fell out of his hands.
" let the gun go"
It was Finn. Jacob struggled to get the upper hand. Suddenly a loud bang filled the room as the gun in went off.
