It was a magical night. Rory was nervous to say the least. Mr. Schue had asked him to perform a solo. He planned on not even going to prom at all till the impossible happened. *flashback* Sam walked up to the Irish lad's locker. He seemed tense as he tapped on his shoulder. Rory turned around. He smiled and asked "Hey Sam, What's up?" The blonde ran a hand through his hair and queried "Rory Flanagan will you do me the honor of being my date to senior prom?" Rory was speechless. He could merely nod his head. A few of the dark brown moist strands fell in front of his eyes. Sam reached up. The shorter boy felt the callused hand of a guitar player when he tucked them back into place. The blonde asked "So Rors, is that a yes?" The lad nodded and whispered "Of course I will Sam, it would be an honor." Sam managed a triumphant smile as he was walking away. *end of flashback*
Sam was nervous as he walked to the Peirce family's front door. He stood there countless times when he dating Brittany, but now he was there holding a corsage for Rory, who in Sam's eyes was just plain perfect. Joe and Sam had helped the pale, fragile young man overcome his self-harm and were helping him overcome his anorexia. Little did Sam know, the young man on the other side of the door was just as nervous as he was.
Rory sprayed his hair once again and asked "Am I missing anything Brittany?" The blonde young woman in her electric blue dress responded "You need your blazer so Sammy doesn't see your old self harm cuts." She put a proud emphasis on the word old. He slid on his blazer and was doing a last minute check in the mirror when Brittany answered the door. She called out "Rory leprechaun! Sammy's here." Rory rushed out of his room and exclaimed H-hey Sam!" Sam on the other hand had teared up. The shorter of the two stood on his tip toes to wipe away the tears. Sam whispered "You're beautiful Rory." The Irish lad murmured "Ya look amazing Sam." Sam laced the rose corsage into his lapel. He offered his hand, which Rory promptly took. The two walked to Sam's truck hand in hand. The ride to Breadsticks was quiet. Neither of them was sure of what to say. Once they arrived, they saw various other glee club couples including Jake and Ryder, and Kurt and Blaine. Sam and Rory were seated near the others. Rory's back was to Blaine and Sam's was to Ryder. He two made small talk till the waitress came to take their order. She batted her eyes and asked once she heard Rory's heavy Irish accent "So where's your date on prom night sugar? Surely a boy like you could find one." Sam cut in with a cold and clinical tone "He did, and I'd appreciate it if you would stop hitting on my date." She gave Sam a dirty look before waking off to take Jake and Ryder's orders as well. Sam heard Jake say with a tone of defiance in his voice "Mam, would you please stop hitting on my boyfriend?" Sam chuckled and leaned back "She hit on you too Ry?" Ryder nodded. Rory looked up after hearing the verbal altercation behind him. He spoke "She got Blaine too." They all chuckled. Sam and Rory waited on their food to arrive. The two made small talk. Sam asked "So how have you been Rory?" The young lad responded "I've been good, feeling a bit better without the jocks breathing down my neck." Sam smiled. He knew people he considered friends would back off once he stepped in. The two finished their meal, witch Rory insisted on paying for. They both stood up and went back to Sam's truck. Sam opened the door for him. He thanked him just as he climbed in. Sam turned on the radio as they rode to the school. A song came on that got Sam to turn it to an insane volume and sing along. "Go and fix your make-up girl. It's just a break-up. Run and hide you're crazy and start acting like a lady." Rory laughed and mouthed "Are you crazy?" Sam turned it down slightly and shrugged. The song ended and one that meant something to Rory began to play. He sang along. "Praying like a fool that's been on the run, my hearts still beating but it's not working like a million dollar phone that you just can't ring. I'm still trying to love but I feel nothing. Yeah my heart is numb, but with you I feel again." Sam awed at the beauty of his friend's voice. The blonde parked in the school lot and got out. Rory followed suit. Sam handed Miss Pillsbury their tickets. She spoke to one of them before they walked off "It's good to see you having fun Rory." He thanked her then followed Sam to find their friends. They managed to find Joe and Kitty. The tall blonde young woman asked "So are you two here together?" Rory nodded in response. She cheered slightly. Ryder and Jake managed to find them. Ryder proclaimed "Joe, Rory, don't we need to find Mr. Schue?" Joe added "Don't we need Blaine first?" The three of them found the gelled, well dressed young man by the punch bowl talking to Tina. Ryder joked "Come along Mr. Frodo. We need to find our glee club director." Blaine starkly replied "Coming Pippin!" Joe legitimately said "I thought Ryder was Sam, and Rory was Pippin." Blaine shrugged "Merry's right." Mr. Schue seemed relived once the 4 boys made their way up to him. He breathed "Ok, we have the lineup. It's Joe, then Blaine, then Ryder, then Rory, and then it's ending with a group number. The girls have got the rest." Three of them went back to their dates while Joe made his way to the stage." He began; So we back in the club
With our bodies rockin' from side to side (side to side)
Thank God the week is done
I feel like a zombie gone back to life (back to life)
Hands up, and suddenly we all got our hands up
No control of my body
Ain't I seen you before?
I think I remember those eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes
(Chorus)
Cause baby tonight, the DJ got us falling in love again
Yeah, baby tonight, the DJ got us falling in love again
So dance, dance, like it's the last, last night of your life, life
Gonna get you right
Cause baby tonight, the DJ got us falling in love again
Keep downing drinks like there's
Not tomorrow, there's just right now, now, now, now, now, now
Gonna set the roof on fire
Gonna burn this mother fucker down, down, down, down, down, down
Hands up, when the music drops
We both put our hands up
Put your hands on my body
Swear I seen you before
I think I remember those eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes
(Chorus)
Cause baby tonight, the DJ got us falling in love again
Yeah, baby tonight, the DJ got us falling in love again
So dance, dance, like it's the last, last night of your life, life
Gonna get you right
Cause baby tonight, the DJ got us falling in love again
[PITBULL]
Hear no evil
Speak no evil
See no evil
Get it baby
Hope you catch that like T.O.
That's how we roll,
My life's just a movie.
And you just TIVO,
Mami got me twisted like a dread lock,
She don't wrestle but I got her in a headlock,
Yabba dabba doo make a bedrock,
Mami on fire (psssh) red hot, Bada bing bada
boom, Mr. Worldwide as I step in the room, Imma
hustler baby, but that you knew, Tonight is just
me and you, dale
(Chorus)
Cause baby tonight, the DJ got us falling in love again
Yeah, baby tonight, the DJ got us falling in love
Fallin' in love!
So dance, dance, like it's the last, last night of your life, life
Gonna get you right
Cause baby tonight, the DJ got us falling in love again
Yeah, baby tonight, the DJ got us falling in love again
So dance, dance, like it's the last, last night of your life, life
Gonna get you right
Cause baby tonight, the DJ got us falling in love again
Yeah, thank you DJ! Ryder and Jake were the first ones dancing. Tina and Artie followed suit. Soon enough everyone was dancing. Joe's song soon ended. Blaine walked up to the stage nervously. He ran a hand through his jet black curls. He began; Be careful making wishes in the, dark dark
Cant be sure when theyve hit their, mark mark
Besides in the mean meantime Im just dreaming of tearing you apart
Im in the de-details with the devil
So now the world can never get me on my level
I just got to get you out of the cage
I'm a young lovers rage
Gonna need a spark to ignite
My songs know what you did in the dark
So light em up (x3)
(I'm on fire)
So light em up (x3)
(I'm on fire)
In the dark, dark
In the dark, dark
All the writers keep writing what they write
Somewhere another pretty vein just dies
I've got the scars from tomorrow and I wish you could see
that you're the antidote to everything except for me
A constellation of tears on your lashes
Burn everything you love
then burn the ashes
In the end everything collides
My childhood spat back out the monster that you see
My songs know what you did in the dark
So light em up (x3)
(I'm on fire)
So light em up (x3)
(I'm on fire)
(Oooooooo)
In the dark, dark
In the dark, dark
My songs know what you did in the dark..
My songs know what you did in the dark..
So light em up (x3)
(I'm on fire)
So light em up (x3)
(I'm on fire)
(Oooooooo)
In the dark, dark
In the dark, dark
(Oooooooo). Sam grabbed Rory by the hand and asked "Shall we dance my darling?" Sam grabbed Rory by the hand and asked "Shall we dance my darling?" The young Irish man nodded and followed him to the dance floor. Rory asked "Isn't this song a bit darker from what Blaine does usually?" The blonde shrugged "Blaine's just trying to express himself…" Kurt seemed to get the message since his eyes never left Blaine the entire time he was on stage. Ryder was worried he would screw up by the time he walked out to the stage. He got his bangs out of his eyes and looked out at the crowd. Jake smiled and mouthed "You'll do great honey." Those words gave Ryder all the confidence he needed to begin. Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you
And everything you do
Yeah, they were all yellow
I came along
I wrote a song for you
And all the things you do
And it was called 'Yellow'
So then I took my time
Oh what a thing to've done
And it was all yellow
Your skin, oh yeah, your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
D'you know? You know I love you so
You know I love you so
I swam across
I jumped across for you
Oh what a thing to do
'Cause you were all yellow
I drew a line
I drew a line for you
Oh what a thing to do
And it was all yellow
Your skin, oh yeah, your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
D'you know? For you I bleed myself dry
For you I bleed myself dry
It's true
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine
Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you
And all the things you do. Jake was in awe. Sam felt now was a good time to teach Rory to slow dance. He grabbed the pale, slender boy and began to dance. Rory rested his head on his shoulder. The two moved to the beat of Ryder's song. The final notes of Coldplay faded just as Sam and Rory separated. Rory franticly walked to the stage. He grabbed the microphone and the words began to flow. I could talk all day long about the news, givin' you the current affairs or my views.
I could talk all night long about a song, givin' you the pointers on where you're goin' wrong.
I could talk all year long about the net, sendin' you the links I think you haven't seen yet.
I'd like to tell you things that I think you've never heard but there are no words.
I could talk all day long about dreams, sewing up your heart so you never see a seam.
I could talk all day about politics, all of the corruption, clean hands, dirty tricks.
(Bridge/Chorus)
But what can I say about something that blows me away without it soundin' like another clich?
From what I've seen and I've heard, when it comes to you, baby no, there are no, there are no words.
There are no words.
Yeah I swear this much is true, there ain't no word in this world that describes you.
(Verse 2)
I could talk all day long about life, after so many wars how we're all still alive.
I could speak all night long about the world, how it took me thirty years just to find one girl.
I could shoot shit for days all about guitars, a Gibson or a Fender, it depends on who you are.
But when I try to say somethin' that you never heard, there are no words.
I could burn your ear off all about space and why we have a moon, why the moon has a face.
If the earth is spinnin' why we all stay in place?
Why we can walk, it's gotta be a space race.
(Bridge/Chorus)
But what can I say thats gonna blow her mind away?
Turn around and classic. not a throw away.
All Ive seen, all Ive heard, when it comes to you there are no, there are no, there are no words.
There are no words.
Yeah I swear this much is true, there ain't no word in this world to describe you.
Yeah I swear this much is true, there ain't no word in this world that describes you.
(Mark Sheehan Rap)
There are no words to describe or define whats inside you, your feeling, your vibe
Believe me Ive tried to break you down to a science
(I) See you in my mind and I open my mouth and its silence
I can articulate a Shakespeare poem
Even though know I didnt know him I can see where he was goin
And where hes comin from I can even catch his flow and then I think of you
I dont know where this metaphor is goin
Cuz there aint no words you can understand, only lovers can
You can ask the professor and the madman
If they couldnt find the words, no one can
All Ive seen, all I heard
When it comes to you theres just no, just no words
(Ending)
Yeah I swear this much is true, there ain't no word in this world that describes you
That describes you.
Yeah I swear this much is true, there ain't no word in this world that describes you.
There aint no
There aint no
He never seemed to look away from Sam the entire time. Everyone loved dancing. Sam whispered "You were truly amazing baby..." Rory looked up into his aqua blue eyes. He told him "It's hard not to be when I have you for inspiration." The two locked eyes and continued to dance. Sam managed to snake his arm around Rory's waist. The fragile Irish man merely smiled and rested his hand on the muscular blonde's chest. Sam had to pry himself away to make it up to the stage. Jake, Kitty, Sugar, and Tina were already waiting. Tina clicked play to start the music.
Well, I woke up to the sound of silence
The scars were cutting like knives in a fist fight
And I found you with the bottle of wine
Your head in the curtains
And heart like the fourth of july
You swore and said,
"We are not.. we are not shining stars"
This I know
I never said we are
Though I've never been through hell like that
I've closed enough windows to know you can never look back
If you're lost and alone
Or you're sinking like a stone,
Carry on
May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground
Carry on
Carry on, carry on
So I met up with some friends at the edge of the night
At a bar off 75
And we talked and talked about how our parents will die
All our neighbors and wives
But I'd like to think I can cheat it all
To make up for the times I've been cheated on
And it's nice to know,
when i was left for dead,
I was found and now I don't roam the streets
I am not the ghost you want of me
If you're lost and alone
Or you're sinking like a stone,
Carry on
May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground and
Carry on
Woah
My head is on fire
But my legs are fine
After all, they are mine
Lay your clothes down on the floor,
Close the door,
Hold the phone,
Show me how no one is ever going to stop us now
Because we are
We are shining stars
We are invincible
We are who we are
On our darkest day,
When we're miles away,
So we will come
We will find our way home
If you're lost and alone
Or you're sinking like a stone,
Carry on
May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground and
Carry on oh on on on oh ohh oh oh oh oh oh
oh ohh oh oh oh oh oh
No one is ever going to stop us now
No one is ever going to stop us now
No one is ever going to stop us now
the 4 that were momentarily dateless seemed mesmerized by those on stage. Rory smiled and met Sam's eyes. The love that filled that eye contact was indescribable, yet it was all summed up in the kiss they shared.
