A/N: Alright, so I'm back for my second Glee fanfic. The difference between my first one and this one is that this one has several chapters coming up! BUT, it's still Rachel and Will! 3

She left her seat, left her thoughts behind for the moment, left any worry from the day in her seat as she stepped up in front of the crowd. This was the crowd that, for so long, would torture her, and sometimes still did. She wasn't going to let that affect her anymore, though. The song that she was about to sing would send that message, loud and clear.

"See I never thought that I could walk through fire," her voice was soft, but had an intense tone to it. She continued, "I never thought that I could take the burn…."

She shut her eyes, slightly adjusting her body so she wasn't facing the entire crowd before her.

"I never had the strength to take it higher, until I reached the point of no return." The melodic tone that had been coming from her faded. Her throat tightened, and she was fighting back tears. She had been through so much, and didn't know if she could go on, but to prove to herself and to the others around her, she would at least try.

"And there's just no turning back, when your hearts under attack. Gonna give everything I have, it's my destiny!"

She looked back to them, those that had ripped her heart to shreds, those that tried to shove her down, those that tried to take everything she had, but she didn't let them. Her voice became louder with each word, "I will never say never, I will fight! I will fight till forever. Whenever you knock me down, I will not stay on the ground! Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up, pick it up up up, and never say never!"

And then it happened. The tears that had been forming an emotional wall in her eyes came crashing down. She couldn't let her guard down around these people, her classmates, her fellow glee club members, so taking the initiative to make the next move, she turned and ran, ran until there was nowhere else to go. Her journey ended when she reached Mr. Schuester's Spanish room. She found comfort there, and there she would remain.

Closing the door, she went to the back of the room and curled up in a ball in the corner. The tears continued to fall as she thought over everything she had sang, and how at this point, it felt like a lie.

It wasn't long before she heard the door to the room open, and her name was called out, "Rachel?"

It was him, the man she had fallen for, the man who, even though she could never be with him, she still longed for every single day.

"Yes, Mr. Schuester?"

A/N: How did you like the first chapter? Not that good at writing dark stories, but I'm trying my best. I'm not trying to make it too dark! But what do you think will happen next? Want a quick update? REVIEW! :D
