Hey Guys :)
This is going to be my first story on
Even though, there is a good friend of mine, who already posted my story -.-
What ever :)
He just posted a very raw version of the story, I will post the final version.
No worries, my story is totally different than his.
I just wanted to let you guys know, if somebody reads my story, and knows the guy and the story that I am talking about, I don't want you to think that I ripped him off.
There are actually a couple of friends of mine working on this story with me.
We planned on releasing a final version of the story together, but we had some kind of discussion about how the story would end, and the above mentioned friend quickly released the raw blueprint of the story, just so he would get his way.
The story has very very small crossovers in it, but it is not enough to post it as a crossover story.
And there are also some celebrity's and celebrity names in the story.
Anyway, this will be the final version of it.
All rights are reserved to the very creators and owners of Glee.
I don't own anything on Glee. :)

Chapter One: The Old, The New and the Gifted
"... Finn, if you really think that, maybe we should not even be together."
Rachel meant every word she said.
"Rachel, you can´t be serious, I mean I …..."
Rachel turned around, walked to her door and opened.
"Why don´t you go to Quinn, that's what you were doing all summer."
Finn stopped in the door frame.
"Today is Friday, our senior year begins on Monday, how are we handling this without hurting each other ?".
Rachel was shocked on how Finn still worried more about his reputation then about them.
"I will spent the next forty eight hours getting over you Finn, I no longer care if you are hurt".
She saw that this one hurt him.
"Well, I don't want to …."
"But you already did Finn."
She slammed the door into his face.
For a while, Rachel sat on the couch waiting for her fathers.
Around ten pm she decided to go to bed.
She would have felt sad about the breakup with Finn, but she felt way to angry.
She just felt that Quinn and her started to get along, when the year ended, and now this.
For over a month Rachel was suspicious that Finn wanted to spent less and less time with her.
One day she decided to follow him, and he leaded her directly to Quinn´s place.
Rachel really thought it would work out with Finn, but when she confronted him with what she saw, he did not even try to explain, he just admitted, that he had been dating Quinn for over eight weeks.
Now Rachel really had only one goal.
Surviving her senior school year, without any other dramas.
She already had everything planned out.
She would start preparing for Sectionals, Ragionals and Nationals instantly, to really make improvements on her performance skills.
She would apply for Julliard as soon, as she evened her grades to a straight A cut.
That would take her about a month.
She was pretty convinced that Julliard would take her with open arms.
She would skip Prom and stop caring about what people think about her.
But there was one thing that was more important than Julliard.
Stay out of Quinn´s way.
She spent the weekend at home, even though Kurt called a couple of times, asking her if she wanted to meet up.
She ignored everything glee related.
She did not know who her friends were any more.
When Monday finally came, Rachel felt pretty confident, that she was over Finn.
She was glad that they only had one class together on Monday.
Glee club rehearsals.
When Rachel arrived at the school, the first thing she saw, was Kurt and Mercedes, waiting at her locker.
"Rachel ? Where have you been the last week ?"
Kurt looked a little worried.
"Well, Finn and I broke up, and I kinda wanted to be alone, and Id really appreciate it if we could talk about something else."
Mercedes and Kurt totally understood.
That, of course, was the perfect moment, for some football jock to throw a slushie in Rachel´s face.
"Welcome back troll."
Silently, Rachel walked to the bathroom, cleaning herself up.
Kurt and Mercedes followed her.
She sat down on the bin, whilst Mercedes washed her hair, and Kurt reapplied her makeup.
"What the hell are you wiping my my face with ?".
Rachel´s eyes were sticky from the slushie, so she could not see pretty well.
"It´s a flyer for the Halloween Party this year, it is in seven weeks, and they already searching a band for it."
Kurt threw the flyer in the trash can, Rachel was sitting on.
When they were finished cleaning up Rachel, they tried to reach class without getting into trouble.
The mission failed.
Five feet away from Rachel´s class, Korowski threw another slushie in her face.
"I am sorry, I could not deliver the first one."
Rachel wiped her eyes, and saw a tall black haired girl charging at Korowski.
"Calm down Bitch, I barely got you with …..."
Before he finished his sentence, the girl kicked him in the crotch.
Korowski sacked, and the girl took Rachel to the bathroom.
She sat Rachel down, and helped her cleaning her hair.
"Such a Jerk."
Rachel nodded.
"Your first slushie attack ?"
The girl nodded.
"Was that so obvious ?".
Rachel opened her eyes.
"After a while you stop getting angry."
"My name is Jade, by the way."
Rachel took her hand.
"Rachel, Rachel Berry."
When Rachel took her hand, she saw a little scratch under Jade´s eye.
"What is that ?".
"Oh, that gorilla must have scratched me somehow."
Rachel dried her hair.
"Damn, I will be late for Spanish."
Jade laughed.
"Me too."
Rachel turned to Jade.
"How come I never saw you before ?".
"Just moved here with my fam."
Rachel liked the girl.
"Where are you from, I mean originally."
She noticed the Accent on Jade.
"My whole family roots in Ireland, but I actually was raised in Brooklyn."
Suddenly Rachel´s eyes sparkled up.
"Brooklyn near Manhattan ? …...New York... Boradway ?".
Jade giggled at Rachel´s stutter.
"Yeah, that's the one."
Suddenly Rachel really was curious about the girl.
"What classes do you have today ?".
Jade gave Rachel a list, which she briefly checked.
"We have classes together all week, if you want I can show you around."
Jade nodded with a big smile.
"What is GCR ? I don't have that on my timetable."
Jade pointed at Rachel´s timetable.
"Oh, That´s Glee Club Rehearsals.
You really want to stay away from that club, except you want to get slushied every week."
Jade nodded slightly.
"What is a "Glee Club" anyway ?".
Rachel´s eyes again sparkled.
"It is a wonderful show choir, and I am the star."
Jade wrote something on a paper.
"Here is my number, call me when the next rehearsals are, I am so going to be there."
Rachel smiled.
"I don´t think you are quiet qualified..., I mean you need references.."
Jade stuffed the paper with her number on in Rachel´s pocket.
"I was in a church choir for four years, I danced for over three years, and I always aced my music classes."
Rachel rose her eyebrows with a nod.
"Impressive, I will definitely call you."
Suddenly the two were interrupted by loud yelling in the hall.
They opened the door, and there were two guys, fighting with Principal Figgins.
Rachel never saw them before.
"...This is inappropriate behavior, and I will not tolerate this at my school."
One of the guys had a bleeding hand.
"I am telling you, it was not my fault."
The guys looked like trouble.
The one with the bleeding hand looked like he had been in a fight.
He wore a Grey jacket with several Patches of Rock bands.
The other one was really quiet.
He was wearing Sunglasses, and a black leather biker jacket.
He had a cigaret behind his ear.
"Oh no."
Rachel turned to the blushing Jade.
"What´s up ?".
"This are Scott, and Patrick, my brothers."
Rachel took a second look at the guys.
They kind of looked like criminals.
Scott, the one with the bleeding hand, yelled something about racism and discrimination, and then suddenly Patrick smacked the back of his head.
"Shut up Scott, you got yourself into this, and you have to live with the consequences".
Figgins suspended Scott, and send Patrick to class.
On the way out, Scoot stopped at Jade and Rachel.
"Hey Jade."
"What was that about Scott ?".
"There is a Guns n Roses Cover band performing in the mall in two hours, so I smashed a window so I get suspended."
He looked at Rachel.
"Hey, I am Scott.
I would give you my hand but..."
He held up his bleeding hand, and Rachel nodded.
Scott then left.
"That was..."
Jade stopped Rachel.
"Crazy ? Stupid ? Insane ?, don't mind Scott, he always was a little retarded."
Rachel giggled.
"Well, your other brother seems nice."
Jade looked at Rachel with a serious expression on her face.
"Look Rachel, I know you for just five minutes, but I really like you, so here is a piece of advice."
Rachel swallowed hard.
"Don´t ever, and I really mean ever, get attached to Patrick, in no kind of way, he is a real Psychopath."
Rachel was getting a little scared.
"I am kidding Rachel, he actually is a real nice guy."
Jade laughed about Rachel´s face expression.
Rachel then walked to class.
When she entered the GYM, there was Patrick, warming up with a bunch of football players, including Finn and Puck.
On the other side of the GYM, there were the cheerios.
In the middle, there were the guys that belonged to none of the above.
Including Tina, Mercedes and Kurt.
It was quiet obvious where Rachel belonged to.
Jade was there too.
"I guess we are playing dodge ball again, so you better decide whom to pick Kurt."
Coach Biest took over the GYM classes, and she liked to give people the chance to lead, who were overlooked otherwise.
This week it was Kurt and one of the New Guys, either Jade or Patrick.
"You should pick Patrick, he is a sports machine."
Kurt looked at Jade and then at Rachel, who was standing next to Jade.
"Oh yeah, this is Jade, she is new in Ohio, and she want´s to join glee."
Mercedes shook her head in terror.
"Don´t do it, it is too late for us, but you can be saved, just go and stand with the Cheerios Sweetie."
"Rachel told me Glee was fun."
Mercedes nodded.
"Well, I like to have fun, and I hate cheerleaders."
Mercedes smiled.
"I Think I like you Jade."
Whilst The four made battle plans, the guys were making their own.
"I really want to be in Quinn´s team."
Finn was excited about dodge ball.
Patrick did not understand the hype.
"Hey New guy, you look pretty fit, what are your thoughts."
Patrick looked in the faces of eight football players.
"I don´t care what team I am on, I will win anyway."
The guys broke out in loud laughter.
"I like your attitude" Puck playfully punched Patrick on the arm.
When Patrick looked across the room to his sister, he was happy that she had found a friend.
Jade have had a real tough time in New York, and he knew it.
He was glad that Jade liked the school that much.
When the Coach spoke up, and the draft pick began, Patrick expected to be last pick, but instead, he was the third pick from the "Lady boy" as some of the guys liked to refer to Kurt.
So far his team included Kurt, Jade, Jade´s loud friend, and himself.
As the draft´s went on, he realized, that he was on a sinking ship.
Tina, Mike, Sam, Brittany, Mercedes and Lauren.
He did not know the guys, but they did not exactly look like they could compete against six football players and four cheerleaders.
"Patrick, I think you´ll need to carry us."
The group was circled around one of the balls.
"It will be okay, Sam and Mike look like can throw a ball."
He looked at the blonde guy, and the Asian kid, and was glad the names were right.
The rules were slightly changed, so the sinking ship had a chance.
Patrick got one ball, and the other teams captain had a chance.
The other teams captain was the another new guy, Blaine.
Obviously the guys already knew him.
Blaine and Patrick started off back to back, and then they would make ten steps in one direction, like in a duel, and who ever gets hit, is eliminated.
They did their steps, and Blaine turned around really fast, while Patrick turned rather slow.
Blaine threw the ball with a massive amount of force, and aimed for Patrick´s chest.
Patrick quickly launched his own ball in the air, and caught Blaine's.
Then he caught his own with one hand, and eliminated Blaine with one ball, and Puck with another one.
Biest whistled twice.
"Puckerman, Anderson out."
Patrick´s team was cheering, because he did not only eliminate two people, but managed to hold on to one ball as well.
"That guy is going all neo and shit."
The team laughed about Puck´s joke, and everybody split up on their side of the field.
Biest whistled once.
Finn got to throw the first ball, and he aimed for Mike.
Patrick, fast as an cat, gave his ball to Rachel, and Jumped in front of Mike, catching this ball as well.
While he still was in the air from his jump, he threw the ball in the huddle of the other team, eliminating one of the football guys.
"Hudson, out."
Finn again had the ball, and Rachel still had the other one.
Rachel gave her ball to Mike, not noticing that a ball flew at her.
Patrick managed, to squeeze a fist between the ball, and Rachel´s head, and the ball launched in the air.
"Got it !".
Sam caught the ball, saving Patrick from being eliminated.
Then Sam Eliminated Quinn, and Mike eliminated Azimio.
"Fabray, Korofski Eliminated."
Now it was five against ten.
The match continued for a while, until only Patrick and Rachel were against Azimio.
Azimio had both balls.
"Stay behind me Rachel."
Rachel stepped behind Patrick.
"Are you too scared to show your face Berry ?" Santana yelled through the whole GYM.
Rachel almost stepped up, but Patrick stopped her.
"Just don´t listen, we got this, ill catch the first ball, and then step aside.
He will eliminate you, and I can eliminate him."
"He will hurt me."
"Don´t worry Rachel, then I will hurt him."
When Patrick caught the first ball, and stepped aside, all Rachel saw, was a ball flying towards her.
It flew really fast, and she tried to dodge it, but it hit her right in her stomach.
Rachel sacked.
"Rachel !?" Kurt yelled from the bench.
Patrick, noticing that Rachel was hurt, launched the ball as hard as he could, on Azimio´s Chest.
Azimio sacked as well.
When Rachel entered the choir room, Mr. Schue stopped her for a second.
"Rachel, I heard what happened, are you okay ?".
She put one hand on her stomach.
"Yeah, he just gave me a pretty bruise."
Mr. Schuester nodded.
"Well, Azimio is in the hospital with three broken ribs."
Rachel swallowed about the fact, that she actually thought it was great that Azimio was hurt.
"He had it coming."
Mr. Schue looked at Quinn.
"Why would you say that Quinn ?".
"Well, he always was awful to Rachel, somebody had to do something about it, I am just glad, that Finn stopped that fight between this new guy and Korofski."
Rachel did not understand, but she did not want to ask since it was Quinn talking.
Rachel sat down, and then noticed Jade sitting next to her.
"What happened in the gym ? I left so fast."
"My Jackass brother thought that this football jerks planned on hurting you, so he went all tantrum, and beat up this Korofski."
Jade rolled her eyes.
"Well, it could be that they planned on hurting me."
"Why would they do that ?".
"Because I am in Glee..."
Jade ripped her eyes wide open.
"Does that mean, they will try to hurt me too ?".
Rachel shook her head.
"It is school policy to hate Rachel Berry, just ask Quinn if you want to know about this."
Rachel noticed, that Patrick was there as well.
"What is he doing here anyway ?" Santana took the words out of
Rachel´s mind.
"Well, we needed a new guitar player, and Patrick volunteered, so he would not get suspended for fighting with Korofski."
Mr. Schue explained.
"And since he and his Sister Jade" Mr. Schue made a gesture to Jade.
"Are in a band since three years, they are well trained together already."
Quinn and Santana laughed.
"Brother and sister in one band ? Like the Kelly Family ? That is so lame."
Jade shook her head.
"You were right Mercedes, she is a Bitch."
Santana almost launched over the first row, to jump on Jade.
"ENOUGH !".
Suddenly everybody looked at Patrick wondering where that came from.
"First Scott getting Suspended, then me starting a fight, and now you provoking Santana, soon everybody will think we are more of a Manson type of Family."
Mr. Schuester nodded.
"If you want to proof Santana wrong, just perform with you brother Jade."
Mr. Schue offered, and Jade accepted.
Jade walked up front, and whispered something in Patrick´s ear, and he nodded, plugging his guitar in.
Then Jade and Patrick performed Rocket Queen by Guns n Roses.
Jade´s voice was amazing.
It was really husky, even huskier than Santana´s voice.
It nailed the song.
When they finished, Mr. Schuester was impressed, with Jade´s voice, and with Patrick´s guitar playing.
The room even wanted a encore, at least all except Santana.
So they performed The Trooper by Iron Maiden.
Mr. Schue and Puck doubted that Jade´s voice could handle that song, but it could.
"Was that okay ?" Jade turned to Patrick.
"Yeah, it was fine."
Mr. Schuester laughed.
"Why do you evaluate her ? I am the teacher here."
Jade turned around.
"Well, I learned singing from Patrick, and he is way, way better than I am."
Now the New Directions got curious.
"Well, sing something."
Patrick just laughed.
"I sing at the Halloween Party, if you want to hear me, just come."
Quinn stepped up.
"What tells us you actually can sing, maybe your sister is just bragging ?".
Patrick looked at her, tuning his amp.
"Listen cupcake, you will not hear me sing until the party, I am here to play guitar, not to sing in a show choir."
When Patrick called Quinn cupcake, the room broke out in loud laughter.
"You so are a cupcake."
Quinn pinched Brittany.
"I am not."
Mr. Schue proceeded with the lesson, and announced that this year´s sectionals solo was sung by Santana.
Rachel was not disappointed, she thought that as long as she gets the solo in the Nationals, she was happy.
Mr. Schue also announced that Jesse St. James would perform in the Regionals as well.
Rachel felt, like somebody kicked her in the stomach, it felt just like when the ball hit her.
Then Mr. Schue ended the class.
Jade walked to the Parking lot with Rachel, Kurt and Patrick.
"Are you okay sweetie ? You must have had a rough day."
Rachel swallowed all her sorrow, and smiled.
"Yeah, I am totally fine."
Kurt nodded, and took off.
"Hey Rachel, do you need a ride ?".
Rachel turned around, and looked at Jade.
"You have a license ?" Jade smiled.
"No, but Patrick and Scott do have one."
Rachel followed them to an old Car.
Jade got in, and Patrick sat down on an old cruiser motorcycle.
"Where do you live ?".
Rachel described the way to Jade.
"It is on my way, just hop on."
Patrick gave her his helmet.
Rachel struggled for a second, but then sat down on the bike.
Patrick started the engine, and Rachel wrapped her arms around him.
She could smell his leather jacket, and his after shave.
He put on his glasses, and started driving.
"If you want, I can take you home every Monday, Wednesday and Friday."
Rachel nodded, picking up her bag.
"Thank you, I will think about it."
Patrick drove away.
When Rachel turned around, her father´s were standing in the door.
"Rachel honey, who was that ?".
"Oh, that was Patrick, he is new at McKinley, and his sister is in my classes."
The three walked in.
"Rachel, you sound a little funny, what is wrong ?".
Rachel cleared her voice, walking upstairs to her room.
"Nothing, I am... just tired, that is all."
When Rachel laid down on the bed, the whole day flashed in front of her eyes.
Then suddenly her phone rang.
When she looked at the number, she smiled.
"Wow, that day just got worse."
#
After school, Quinn had plans with Finn, but she changed her plan´s when she met Mercedes.
"Hey, Mercedes, have you..."
"Quit it Fabray."
Quinn put her hands in her waist.
"Excuse me ?"
"I said Quit it.
Really, after everything with the baby and everything, I really thought you and Rachel were finally getting along, and now you did this to her ?
Really classy Quinn, really classy."
Quinn rubbed her forehead.
"I dont have a clue what you are talking about."
"Don´t act stupid."
"Mercedes look at me."
Mercedes looked up.
"I REALLY don´t know what you mean, but Rachel did avoid me all day."
"You really don´t know about it do you ?".
Quinn shrugged her shoulders.
"Obviously."
"Why don´t you ask Finn."
Mercedes took off.
Finn ?
What did he do to Rachel ?
The last time I saw them together, was when they kissed at Nationals last year.
Quinn instantly called Finn.
When she could not reach him, she decided to call Rachel.
"What do you want."
"Rachel ? I just had a talk with Mercedes, and she said that you are mad with me for some reason ?"
Rachel hung up.
Quinn called again.
"Quinn Please, I don´t need your mind games."
Rachel obviously was crying a little.
"Rachel, I am not trying to play mind games, I am just trying to figure out what I might have done wrong, Mercedes mentioned something about Finn."
Quinn heard some noises on the other side of the phone.
"Rachel ? Are you still there ? Please, tell me what did Finn tell you, that made you that mad ?".
"Meet me at bread sticks, in fifteen minutes."
Rachel hung up again.
Quinn made her way to Bread Sticks, and waited.
After about ten minutes, Rachel appeared.
She sat down, facing Quinn.
"Why are you doing this ?".
"I honestly don´t know what you mean."
Quinn watched Rachel ordering a glass of water.
"If I ask you something, are you going to answer honestly ?".
Quinn nodded.
"Have you slept with Finn in the last couple of weeks ?"
Quinn cleared her throat, and sorted her thoughts.
"Well, I think this is not your business, but yes we did have sex."
Rachel nodded.
"Are you two in a Relationship ?".
Quinn nodded.
"Did he ever cheat on you ?".
Quinn thought about that one for a while.
"No I don't think so"
Rachel nodded.
"Finn hasn't been at your side all summer right ?".
Quinn took a sip of her water.
"At first he was kind of rare, but then we started to meet every other day."
Rachel nodded.
"It was the exact opposite with me."
Quinn did not understand.
"At first he met me every day, and then he just saw me once a week."
Quinn felt like somebody punched her in the guts.
"Are you trying to tell me …...?"
"Yes."
Rachel folded her hands on the table.
"It looks like Finn had a pretty packed schedule this summer, with two suspicious girlfriends and all."
Quinn drank her whole glass of water in one sip.
"I cant believe this."
Rachel stood up.
"Well, now you know why I avoided you, I thought you knew about me and Finn."
Quinn felt a tear rolling down her face, but she really did not feel sad, more angry.
"So you thought I am a man stealing whore ?"
Rachel nodded.
"I am sorry, but that is what I thought."
Quinn stood up.
"Rachel, I know I always act like I hate you, but I would never do that, not to my worst enemy."
Rachel nodded, tearing up a little herself.
"Now I know, and Quinn, I really owe you an..."
Quinn stopped her.
"Just stop, you don't owe me anything, both of us got betrayed, the only one who owes me, us, is Finn Hudson."
Quinn paid for the water, and the two took off.
Quinn went straight home.
She felt so stupid.
That son of a bitch played me.
I can´t believe what he has done to me.
I can´t believe that this is how Finn is, I always thought he was different, but he is not.
He is just another Jerk.
God I really need a friend right now.
Quinn decided to call up Santana and Brittany.
#
When Patrick arrived at home, it was 8:00 pm already.
He took some extra hours in gym, to make up for the time he lost while they moved to Ohio.
Jade was making some dinner, while Scott was laying passed out on the floor.
"Is he okay ?".
Patrick grabbed a beer.
"Yeah, he just got really wasted."
Patrick turned to Jade.
"Did he drink my whiskey again ?".
Jade nodded.
"And I only had one glass."
"Jade, you are seventeen, you really shouldn't be drinking hard stuff."
Jade shook her head.
"You are nineteen Patrick, how is that a difference ?".
"It is a difference, because you still have a chance to make something out of your life."
She laughed.
"And you are such a lost soul right ?".
Patrick left the kitchen.
"What ever, just don´t drink my booze."
When he sat down on the couch, he kicked Scott´s leg.
"Get your wasted ass up, and go to bed you lazy fuck."
Scott grunted, and dragged himself into his bedroom.
Patrick was sleeping on the couch, so Jade could have the bedroom on the top floor.
Jade took place next to Patrick.
"You remember what you did when you started high school ? I think you were fifteen."
Jade smiled.
"I kicked my teacher in the crotch."
"Yeah, and I got detention for it, because you told everybody that I told you to do it."
Jade laughed.
"What are big brother´s for ?".
Patrick finished his sandwich, and laid his feet up on the table.
"I really miss New York."
He looked at Jade.
"Why ? All the town gave us was hell."
Jade nodded.
"But do you remember the lights at night ?
The Broadway plays we heard playing in our Apartment ?
The Hudson River ?, Lady Liberty ?, Empire state ?..."
Patrick interrupted her.
"The permanent hiding from the loan sharks ?, living on the street ?,
Never knowing what would happen next ?
The stealing ?"
Jade opened her eyes, and looked at Patrick.
"I just miss New york.
I don´t miss us living in New York, does that make sense ?".
Patrick put one arm around her and kissed her head.
"One day, I will take you home, I promise that Jade."
She laid his head on his shoulder.
"What is Ireland like Patrick ?"
"Everything is green.
The people are awesome, they treat you just like you treat them.
You don't even need money, people will give you everything in exchange for work, or some help.
People still have their honor, their dignity.
There is no such thing like a corporate sellout, and everybody is all about tradition and Family."
Jade closed her eyes, and listened to her brother, talking about how great Ireland is.
"That sounds like Paradise."
Patrick laid his head back.
Jade put her feet up as well.
"What do you think of Rachel ?".
Patrick thought about the question.
"She seems cool, I guess."
Jade smiled.
"She seems cool ? That is all ? Patrick, I saw how you looked at her, and how you defended her in the GYM today."
Patrick laughed.
"I would have done the same thing for you, that means nothing."
"And what about the way you stared at her during Rocket Queen ?".
Jade laughed.
"Jade please, I don´t have the nerves for this kind of crazy talk."
He knew she wouldn't let go, even though, he would not tell her the truth.
The truth was, he did not even like Rachel.
He thought she was a really egoistic and annoying drama queen, who dreamed about Broadway and New York, and if she would make it, she would realize that it was not what she expected.
He thought she was a quitter, a typical teenage girl, whose most important decision was what dress to wear.
He hated that kind of girls.
After a while, Jade went up to her room, and Scott was sleeping like a rock, Patrick went out again.
He went to a local Karaoke bar.
The bar was quiet packed, but he stayed, even though he hated places that were that full.
He sat down on the bar, and ordered a beer and a scotch.
It was a good thing he already had quiet a strong physique and a 5´o clock shadow, so no bartender ever wanted to see his ID.
He listened for a while, and then got up the stage himself.
He loved doing that.
Just randomly performing in Karaoke bars, to stay in shape, or just to see the peoples reaction.
He sang Cats in the Cradle.
When he was finished, he got standing ovations.
He went back to his bar stool, getting free drinks from girls in the audience.
"Pretty awesome performance New Guy."
When Patrick turned his head, he recognized the blonde cheerio from the New Directions rehearsals.
"Thank you, Quinn right ?".
She nodded.
"Why are you in a bar at this hour ? On a school night."
Patrick laughed at her question.
"I could ask you the same thing, and I would get the same answer I am giving you right now.
Not your business."
The girl shook her head.
"Geese, I did not expect such an attitude in this kind of bar."
She turned away from Patrick.
"I just needed some fresh air."
She turned back to him.
"And you thought there might be some fresh air on the bottom of that bottle ?".
She pointed at the bottle of Jack Daniels when the bartender refilled Patrick´s glass.
"Air is the last thing I want in this glass."
She giggled.
"What are you doing here ? You don't seem like a bar kind of girl."
Quinn nodded.
"I usually am not, you are right.
I just had a rough day, and my girlfriends bailed on me."
Patrick ordered two whiskeys.
"That´s nice, but I don´t drink alcohol."
Patrick laughed.
"What ? Do you think I want to fill you up and get you pregnant ?".
Suddenly she broke out in laughter.
"What are the odds."
Patrick chugged down his whiskey, wondering what she meant.
She took a sip from the glass, and coughed.
"Wow, really smooth Cupcake."
Patrick saw her face getting red.
"Why are you calling me Cupcake ? You did that before."
He looked at her from top to bottom.
"You just seem so vanilla to me."
"Vanilla ? What is that supposed to mean ?".
He took a sip from his beer.
"Well, you seem like one of these girls."
Quinn did not know if she was offended or flattered.
"Excuse me ?".
He explained further.
"You seem like you have everything."
Now she did not know what that was about.
"You have the money, the looks, the friends.
You are more popular then god.
Guys want to fuck you, and girls want to be you."
She blushed over his language.
"You are just another rich mans baby girl, who had the luck to land in the right girls womb."
Quinn cleared her throat.
"You forgot some things I have."
Patrick looked at her, waiting for her to finish that thought.
"I also have a family, where everything bad ist just being ignored.
I gave birth to a child two years ago, and I gave it to adoption.
I tried to sell the baby as my boyfriends, but everybody knew that it was his best friends baby.
Oh yeah, and recently that boyfriend forgave me about the baby thing, and now I found out, I was just a little fling on the side, while he was going out with Rachel Berry."
Patrick ordered another round.
"I am neck deep in shit, and I cant swim."
Patrick laughed.
"Welcome to my world."
The two chugged down the next round.
"Why are you so cynical ?"
Patrick looked at her.
"I am cynical ?".
"Yeah, you really live this I don´t give a shit attitude.
I mean I saw a lot of guys, who acted like they lived it, but you actually do."
He paid the bill.
"Maybe it is because I don´t give a shit anymore."
He put one hand on her knee, and leaned in to her ear.
"Maybe you should stop giving a shit, that is when things get better."
Then he left.

Over the next weeks, a lot of stuff happened at McKinley.
Quinn and Rachel are in a war with Finn.
Scott got kicked off McKinley and was forced to join a military academy, and Jade is homesick for New York.
Quinn told everyone about Patrick´s voice, and Patrick refused to join the New Directions as an choir member.
#
When Rachel arrived at the choir room, there was a huge huddle, and a lot of yelling.
She could hear Finn.
"Why do you think you are better than us ?".
She heard Tina.
"I really think we could win this thing, if you just joined us."
She heard jade.
"Why don't you leave me alone, I like him."
She heard Puck.
"If that son of a bitch is coming back, I quit."
When she got closer, she saw a face, that froze her in motion.
"Hello Rachel."
Jesse St. James.
That was the one thing missing in this hell of a year.
"What the hell is he doing here."
Jade stepped up.
"He is my new boyfriend."
Rachel heard somebody laughing.
Then she realized that she was laughing.
"You can´t be serious Jesse."
Jade was totally overlooked.
Patrick sat down on a chair, and lit a cigarette.
"There you go again, you don´t care about the people around you Patrick, you just do everything as you want."
Patrick looked at Finn.
"Why don't you go fuck yourself, that's what I want."
Finn wanted to jump Patrick, when Rachel steeped in between them.
"What the hell is the matter with you two ?"
Finn stepped away from Rachel, and rose his hands.
"Nothing, I am perfectly fine."
"Finn is just upset, because Patrick again rejected our offer to join the New Directions."
Quinn explained to Rachel.
"I am not upset, I just don´t believe he is even capable of singing in out league."
Quinn laughed.
"He is a way better singer then you are, that is sure."
"Oh, you just say that because you hate me."
Quinn nodded.
"Yeah, he still is better."
When Jesse laughed, Finn nearly punched him, but Jesse dodged the swing, and kept laughing.
When the room started transforming every small discussion into one huge fight, Patrick stepped up to the amp.
He turned it on, and held a microphone against it.
An awful squealing stopped the fighting, and brought Patrick all the attention.
"Finn you want to know why I don't want to join the New Directions ?"
Finn nodded.
"This is exactly why.
I got enough shit to handle on my own, I don't have time to join a broken club."
Rachel shook her head.
"The New Directions are not broken."
Patrick laughed.
"Are you kidding me ?
One guy shows up."
He pointed at Jesse.
"And everybody looses their spirit ?
I just say fuck once and Finn is picking a fight with me ?"
Finn looked at the ceiling.
"And you two gang up on a ex boyfriend, who just so turns out to be your male lead ?".
Rachel and Quinn looked at each other, knowing he was right.
"I don´t care what is happening out there, but when you are in this room, there is no Rachel."
He looked around the room.
"There is no Quinn."
Quinn nodded.
"There is no Finn, and certainly no personal matters, when you enter this room, you ARE the New Directions, and until you get that."
Patrick stopped, putting out his cigarette.
"I will not join the club.
Will you excuse me and Jade now ? We have to rehears for the party this Tuesday."
He grabbed Jade and Jesse, and left the room.
"That was..." Puck was cut off by Mr. Schue.
"Necessary.
You behaved totally unprofessional the last weeks."
Mr. Schuester walked into the middle of the huddle.
"I know you so long guys, and I never felt that the New Directions ever were in real trouble."
He picked up Patrick´s cigarette, and threw it away.
"You survived Sue Sylvester´s sabotages.
You survived the whole Jesse story.
And you survived loosing in New York, so why are you breaking apart now ?
I want you to ask yourselves this question, that is you homework, class dismissed."
