Disclaimer: I don't own Glee...or anything else.
Chapter: 1 – Spider
Dani's POV:
It's been 5 months since I moved to New York, the first month was great. I felt as though I was a bird flying away from it's nest for the first time. I took my guitar and my college savings and never looked back. My parents were never the most supportive of me, they loved church and their lord Jesus Christ more than their daughter. Mom and dad were both preachers and raised me to know right from wrong, only I was set up for failure. I was in senior year when I discovered my fatal flaw. This girl named Cindy in my band class caught my eye, she was beautiful. She had long blonde curly hair and the prettiest green eyes. Cindy was different from most girls in my town as her family didn't attend church. She had a tattoo on her left shoulder blade of the sun and always wore clothes that showed off her slender mid drift. I was told I wasn't allowed to hang around Cindy, this was hard for me, she was so kind and very likable. It wasn't long before I disobeyed my parents, this girl had a pull on me. One day I invited Cindy over when my parents were out of town. The Blonde beauty showed me what it was like to be affectionate in the most vulnerable way. She would kiss me so gently, I never wanted any guy like I wanted Cindy. My neighbor Mrs. Bentley caught us making out through the window of our small home and immediately reporting to the god squad. That was when I left.
I stayed in a Hostel for the first month. I met the coolest people and ate at the most delicious restaurants, life was looking great for me. That was until the money ran out. I got a job at the starlight diner and would play my guitar in the subway station to earn some extra cash between shifts. I soon realized I couldn't live in a Hostel too much longer so I started looking for rooms to share, that's when I found Shari. Shari was a middle aged single mother of two young boys who was looking for some help. I met Shari when I was playing my guitar and her son Ben threw a tantrum when she had no money that he could place in my guitar case. Shari continued to come through that same station every day with her sons, chatting to me a little more each time. It was one evening when I was taking a water break that Shari really opened up to me, it was less than a month later that I started renting a room in her small apartment. It was difficult moving in with a new family especially since I was an only child. Even though Ben and Lucas were great fun I still felt quite lonely at times. I missed my home, my friends and Cindy.
I tried calling Cindy many times when I first moved to New York. I thought we could still be together even though it was long distance...I thought wrong. Cindy never answered her phone and the one time she did she hung up on me. My heart slowly began to dissolve, Cindy didn't want me anymore. I couldn't give her what she wanted so she went to find someone who could. I started to feel like the itsy bitsy spider. Every day felt the same; I would wake up, go to work, sing in the station, go home and then let my tears wash me to sleep. I began to feel stuck in the life I was living. I would watch Shari plant a fake smile on her face as she would kiss her boys good-night knowing that she struggles everyday to even put food in their tummies. I hoped I would never be like Shari. My dream was to be famous musician touring the world with someone who loved me. Love was what I craved most but finding it was extremely hard in New York. After a while I gave up.
