Disclaimer: I wish I owned Glee, so I wouldn't make (almost)everyone feel so miserable about an episode as I am, and I needed to get it out of my system somehow...and I hope you like Oasis, for a good start!

Chapter 1 – Stop crying

"I didn't choose Puck to hurt you. You don't have to believe me. Not that I am a good person, or that I am ever gonna be allowed to become one, oh no, God forbidden! I am a bad, selfish, mean person, and that's all I'll ever gonna be. I got it. The thing is that Puck is the only one that somewhat still have feelings, or whatever you wanna call it, for me. Anyways, I'd better go, I'm sorry for wasting your precious time. I do apologize. It won't happen again, I promise you."

It was the last time she tried to talk to him. She'd promised herself that. And she was gonna fulfill her promise. And she had been eloquent, calm on her speech. No tantrums, no screaming. Just small, silent tears that filled her eyes because of his cold attitude while he walked away from her without looking in her eyes.

A very different Rachel Berry was born since Finn decided to get out of her life.

Or so people would learn and see, because she was so sick and tired of being bullied by everyone that she made up her mind she was gonna change. Not for Finn, for the Glee Club, for anyone else, but for herself. Because she was tired of being lonely.

She would never allow herself to suffer in front of anyone else again. That's why everyone bothered her: for being so honest and open about her own feelings!

She never had nobody. She'd thought Finn was really in love with her, but in hindsight, what has he really done for her besides being always a coward when she needed him the most?


Today's Glee Club assignment was about being strong. Exactly what she needed to show everyone else: that she was stronger than they'd thought.

She didn't ask Mr. Shue to perform. She's never asked him a solo again, because he started picking on her too, like everyone else, right? But somehow he asked her today, giving her a chance of conveying her feelings now. And she was about to surprise them big time…

- I just wanna say that this song I'm singing today is for myself. There are no implicit messages, for anyone, but me.

Hold up

Hold up

Don't be scared

You'll never change what's been and gone

May your smile

Shine on

Don't be scared

Your destiny will keep you on

'cause all of the stars have faded away

Just try not to worry, you'll see them someday

Take what you need and be on your way

And stop crying your heart out

She felt the surprising exchange of looks she was hoping for, as she wasn't singing a soppy mellow song or a well-known Broadway tune. Fighting the will of crying, courageously she swallowed it and proceeded with the next verse, trying not to look at Finn's confused expression.

Get up

Come on

Why you're scared?

You'll never change what's been and gone

'cause all of the stars have faded away

Just try not to worry, you'll see them someday

Just take what you need and be on your way

And stop crying your heart out

We're all of the stars, we're fading away

Just try not to worry, you'll see us someday

Just take what you need and be on your way

And stop crying your heart out

Stop crying your heart out

Stop crying your heart out

Stop crying your heart out

Everybody stared at her in amazement. They all knew she was supposedly devastated because of Finn. What was she trying to say, that she didn't care anymore?

Finn was pale. Apparently, he suddenly forgot how to breathe. Was she telling him she was gonna move on? Without him? Well, he asked her to leave him alone, didn't he? So now he had to deal with it. Because she was so tired of his selfishness… and she needed to remind him of his own mistakes, because she did something wrong… but he was so good at denial, wasn't he?


I'd like to say some things to you guys...

Okay, first trial on a Glee Fanfic. I'm having thousands of ideas, but this one is really haunting me because I'm so mad at Finn and Rachel because of last week's episode… Special Education really made me feel bad about watching Glee for the first time.

Another thing I'd like to say: English isn't my first language, so if anyone wanna be a betareader for me I'd appreciate.

Please comment guys, so I'll know if I'm going the right or wrong way about this… help me okay?

Rated M for future chapters.
