Hey, Sorry for the super long chapter, not all of them will be this long, I just wanted to get at least one song in before I complete it. I hope you like it and please please review! Also, I do not own anything here besides my OC, because there are some things like McDonald's and The Gap and things like that, I don't own those! Anyways, I hope you enjoy and please tell me what you think! TTFN :3


"Puck," Finn ran through the hallways of McKinley high. "Did you hear?" he stopped and started to walk beside Puck.

"Yeah, I can't believe she's coming. Man, I haven't seen her in a year." Puck shook his head.

"Who are you talking about?" Rachel came out of nowhere and walked beside Finn.

"Just a girl Puck and I have known for forever." Finn exclaimed. "She's coming into town and if you could not mention the fact that Puck got Quinn pregnant, that would be great."

"God, she'd kill me." Puck rolled his eyes. He stopped at his locker and opened it to put his backpack in it, Finn kept walking with Rachel.

"Is it his girlfriend?" Rachel asked nosily. "I didn't know he had a girlfriend."

"No," Finn laughed. "I think Puck had a crush on her when he first met her, but now we're in high school, and they've both grown."

Rachel looked down at the floor. 'If this girl is a childhood friend of Finn's, maybe she knows more about him than I do.' She thought. "Hey guys, Glee's starting." Artie rolled by and entered the familiar room, filled with glee club members. Puck had already arrived, in fact, Finn and Rachel seemed to be the last ones there.

"All right, guys." Mr. Shue leaned on the piano just as Finn and Rachel sat down. "I want you to find a song that expresses regret and sadness, its Blue Monday next Monday and I want you to find a song before then."

"Mr. Shue, what's Blue Monday?" Mercedes asked.

"It's supposedly the saddest day of the year. The third Monday of the year, feeling poor after buying Christmas presents, less sun exposure, failed New Year's resolutions, the summers far away, and general lack in motivation. All in all, it's not pretty."

"So the song just has to be sad?" Santana asked.

"Yes, and you'll have plenty of time seeing as its only Wednesday."

"Uh, Mr. Shue, I'm having a friend come into town, does that mean I still have to do it?"

"Sorry, but yes." Will nodded.

"You mean Demi?" Quinn turned around to face Finn.

"Yeah, she's coming into town and I'm pretty sure she's moving here." Finn said, earning a bobbing head from Puck.

"Wow, I haven't seen here in awhile, does she remember me?" Quinn asked.

"Yeah, she's asked about you before."

"Demi?" Santana asked.

"A girl Finn and I grew up with." Puck explained.

"Will we meet her?" Artie asked.

"Yeah." Finn grinned. "She's staying with us until her and her dad can get their own place.

"I'm still not giving up my bed." Kurt crossed his arms and shook his head.

"I said I'd give up my bed, I'll sleep on the couch." Finn smiled.

"So, you'll have a girl that's not related to you sleep under the same roof?" Santana said. Her mind was obviously in the gutter.

"It's not like that; she's like a sister to me." Finn exclaimed.

"So, she'll be going to this school?" Sam asked.

"Yeah, I'm going to even try to get her to join Glee club, maybe she'll make it more interesting." Puck wiggled his eyebrows.

"We'll have to see if she can sing first." Rachel chimed in.

"Have you ever met her?" Blaine looked at Kurt.

"No, I've seen pictures and heard stories, but that's as far as my knowledge of her goes." Kurt replied.

"I saw a movie about Demi-Gods, is she one?" Britney asked.

"She watched Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief last night; she hasn't shut up about it." Santana said rudely.

"Her name's short for December." Puck corrected.

"She's supposed to be coming in town today, but I don't know when she's starting school."

"Do you think she'd like me?" Sugar had been dying to have a girlfriend to talk to, she didn't have a strong bond with any of the girls in Glee.

"I'm not sure; I think you guys are kind of opposites."

"What do you mean?" she knitted her brows.

"I didn't mean that as a bad thing." He defended himself.

"Where's she from?" Rory asked in his Irish accent.

"Boston." Puck said.

"So why is she moving here?" Rachel asked.

"Her Dad has to travel a lot, so when he couldn't find someone to look after her when he was gone; he decided it would be best if she moved here, at least she knows someone here."

"How did you meet her?" Tina asked.

"My Mom knew her Dad in high school, they reconnected online and he brought her here for a summer, Puck and I met her then." Finn explained.

"Alright, well, that was it. Do what you want for awhile; I have to go ask Ms. Pillsbury something." Will said as he glanced at his watch.

"Can I be excused? I kind of wanted to meet her when she got here." Finn asked him before he left.

"Yeah sure, just remember, Blue Monday."

"Alright." Finn got up, Puck followed him.


"Oh, hello Puck," Mrs. Hudson-Hummel said when they walked through the door. "I should have expected to see you." She folded the last bit of laundry as her son kissed her on the cheek.

"Is she here yet?" he asked excitedly. His mother smiled.

"They're supposed to be coming down the street now." She said.

"Thanks!" they both yelled and ran outside to meet her. And there she was, well, not her, her car; she had gotten it for her birthday last year. It was a 1960s black Impala, she did love it. But it was the driver they were looking at, they hadn't seen her for over a year and she has definitely grown, she held her more mature like and her sense in clothes had certainly improved. She had cut her hair, now it was shoulder length but still curly.

She got out of the car to greet them. "Hello, boys." She said as she shut her car door. Her father had obviously not enjoyed having her drive because his face looked green when he stumbled out of the passenger door.

"You got your driver's license?" Finn asked.

"Learners Permit." She waved a card in front of them, and then brought each of them into a bear hug. "God, I missed you." She laughed and ran her fingers through her jet black hair. She had a black lace duster on, dark skinny jeans, a grey tank top, black leather boots that went to her knees, and a silver feather necklace, it all suited her but there was fear of the duster dragging along the ground because she was short. "So, anything exciting happen?" she said innocently, but they could sense she knew something.

"Like what?" Puck said cautiously.

"Oh, I don't know." She smiled and tilted her head.

"Do you know?" Finn asked with a sigh.

"Yeah." She nodded.

"What do you know about?" Puck asked stupidly.

"About Finn here getting a new girlfriend!" she lightly hit his stomach. "Honestly, I suppose I'll have to meet her." She said with a shrug.

"Meet her?" Finn said wide eyed.

"Meet Rachel?" Puck laughed. "I don't think you two would get along."

"Why not?" She said defensively.

"You're just not exactly her kind of friend." Finn said. Mr. Colt walked past them after breathing to try to keep the bile down.

"Hello Finn, Noah." He gagged. "I'm going to say hello to your Mother, Finn." He attempted to pat Pucks shoulder but ended up just leaning on him for support. "You're getting better, dear." He said. Then he walked up to the door and hobbled inside.

"Thank you, Daddy." She smiled and watched him almost fall several times. "So, what are we going to do?" she clapped her hands.

"I was going to see Rachel later." Finn said and looked at Puck.

"I'm going to work." He grinned.

"Ah, Finn, work beats date." She smiled. "Well now I can meet this Rachel I'm not going to be friend's with." she stepped towards her car.

"Maybe I should drive?" Finn looked at the car with the memory of Mr. Colt trying not to hurl.

"Come on you pansy, take it like a man." She laughed and ducked into the driver's seat.


Rachel sat at a table, sipping her tea, reading lyrics to a song she was thinking about doing for Blue Monday when she heard a car drive up beside her. The window unrolled to reveal her boyfriend. "Hey." He said as he got out of the car.

"Hi." She said confused. "Whose car is that?"

"Mine." A black haired girl hopped out of the driver's seat. "You must be Rachel." She held out her hand and Rachel stood up to take it.

"Demi?" She asked.

"Yeah, it's good to meet you finally." She shook it with a firm grasp. "I've heard so much about you." She then shot a glare at Finn. Rachel assumed that meant Finn hadn't told Demi anything about her.

"It's good to meet you too, I hear you're from Boston?" the two girls sat down and Demi ordered an iced late.

"Yeah, it's really great up there, but I'm glad I get to see Finn and Puck again." She smiled. Rachel noticed her smile was beautiful, and she seemed to like Finn and Puck a lot, should Rachel be worried?

"Well, are you going to join the Glee Club?" she smiled but inside she was wondering if this girl could take the spotlight, she was prettier and she looked like she might be able to sing pretty well.

"Maybe, I mean, Finn and Puck made it seem pretty fun, but I'm not that into groups." She laughed and stirred her drink.

"Oh, come on, you have to!" Finn scoffed. "It would be so much fun!"

"Okay, okay, maybe I'll try out, but there's no guarantee I'll get in."

"Of course you will, you're a great singer."

She smiled. "But I haven't sung anything since we were kids."

"You haven't sung anything?" he said in disbelief.

"I've sung along with songs on the radio, but that's it." She looked over to Rachel. "How do you put up with this over grown puppy dog?"

"I have my ways. Anyways, what are you going to sing for Blue Monday, Finn?"

"Oh, I haven't decided, but we have until next Monday, I'll have plenty of time."

"Well, I think I'll sing Jar of Hearts by Christina Perri" She grinned. "I think it's sad enough."

"Oh, I know that song." Demi looked at her. "It's definitely sad." Then she looked at Finn. "What's Blue Monday?"

"Oh, Umm." He tried to remember.

"It's the saddest day of the year. We're supposed to sing a song for it." Rachel helped him.

"You're supposed to sing a sad song for it?" she looked down with pursed lips. She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, that's when Rachel noticed several earrings in her ear, a triple helix earring, the three rings sat at the top of her ear, the in the other ear, was a snug piercing with a barbell, both had two lobe piercings and the lowest was a silver hoop, the one above that was a small clock face.

"I like your piercings." She said.

"Thanks, I want to get an eyebrow one, but my Dad keeps telling me no face piercings until I'm 18." She rolled her eyes. "It's not like I'll come home with more metal on my face than skin, I've seen that and trust me I don't want that." She took a sip of her late. "I have a belly button piercing now." She turned to Finn.

"Really?" he said surprised.

"Yeah, I got last year, a little after I last saw you."

"Cool." He nodded.

She glanced at black, leather, wrist watch. "Oh, I have to go, do you want me to pick you up?" she looked at Finn.

"No." she shook his head, he really didn't want to drive with that maniac again. "Don't get into a car accident, oh you can't drive by yourself, you only have a learners permit."

"It's fine, I'll drive slowly." She shook her head and jumped into her car and drove off.


At the shopping district, Demi walked into the mini-mall, as she liked to call it. She had been here before, but she still had a bad sense of direction, so she repeatedly got lost. She tried to find the food court but ended up in Rue 21 somehow, alright not somehow, she decided her growling stomach could wait until she looked through her favorite store.

She found some clothes that would suit her perfect. After checking out, she felt sick, she hadn't eaten anything today, only drunken a couple glasses of water and the iced late she had had at the café with Finn and Rachel. She quickly made her way to a small McDonald's; she ordered a bacon cheese burger and fries, and a medium soft drink. She got up to fill her cup with root beer but had to wait behind a boy with way too much gel in his hair and a blonde boy with a big mouth. "I'm telling you Sam, if I sing Randy Newman, you can't sing him too." Gel Boy said.

"Then why don't I sing him and you sing something else?" the boy, Sam said. They were mostly arguing instead of getting their drinks. Demi clacked her teeth together impatiently.

"Because I already know the song I want to sing, you don't." Gel Boy said and continued filling his diet coke. "Kurt wanted diet, right?" he looked up at Sam.

"Yeah, hold on." Sam filled his cup with coca-cola. "So, Blaine, are you excited to meet that girl Finn was talking about?"

Demi's eyes shot up at them. "I don't know, from what Kurt's said, she seems pretty okay." Demi smirked. 'That's right; Kurt is Finn's new step-brother.' She thought.

"Come on, I wonder if she's hot." Demi snickered, causing Sam's head to whip around. "Oh, sorry, were we in your way?" he said politely.

Blaine turned around to see a girl similar to what Kurt's described. "Sorry." He said while holding three different cups in his hands.

"It's fine, but do you by chance go to school with Finn and Puck?" she asked.

"Yeah, you're Demi, aren't you?" Blaine asked, Sam's eyes went big.

"Oh god, you didn't just hear…" she nodded with a smirk. "Ah, well at least I was right." He grinned.

"Thanks." She said slowly. "Are you hitting on me?"

"Am I?" he said with a smile.

Blaine rolled his eyes. "It's nice to finally meet you." He said. Another boy came up to them; he was in a wheelchair and had glasses.

"Hey, do you guys need help?" he asked.

"No, we got it." Blaine said. The wheelchair boy's eye landed on Demi. "This is Demi, the girl Finn was talking about." Blaine explained.

"Oh, it's good to meet you." He held out his hand. "Do you want to sit down with us?" he pointed at a table with only one person Demi recognized, Quinn. She had met Quinn when Quinn had first started dating Finn; they had gotten along pretty well.

"Are you sure?" she asked. She did want to say hi to Quinn and meet all of Finn and Puck's friends.

"Yeah, come on." Sam said and he walked towards the table.

"I just have to fill this up." She gestured to her cup. "I'll be there in a minute."

He nodded and continued walking. They all seemed nice enough; maybe this wouldn't be like her old school, split into different groups, everyone ridiculing others just for being different. It was awful, especially when you didn't know what group you belonged to, that's where she was at for the year she was there.

She got her food and thanked the cashier and walked over to the Glee Club. "Hi." Quinn said and scooted over to make room for her.

"Hi, it's nice to see you again, Quinn." Quinn smiled and continued eating her salad.

"So, you're the infamous Demi?" Kurt said and smiled. He seemed nice; of course she would be living with him for the time being so she had hoped he was nice.

"Yep, you must be Kurt?" he nodded. "It's good to finally meet you, Kurt." She smiled.

There was 12 people total at that table, Demi learned their names. Sugar was a rich girl who was really into fashion, Mercedes was a fun-to-be-around girl, Sam was a weird fellow she couldn't quite describe but she did enjoy his company, Kurt was funny and Demi really liked him, Blaine was fun and he was really the person Demi liked a lot, Santana was mean anyone could see that but Demi thought she must be kind in some way, Brittany was…well…Brittany, Quinn was as fun as she had been before if not a little more laid back, Artie was funny and cute she could be his friend, Tina was interesting, along with her boyfriend, Mike, he was a really good dancer so Demi thought she could get along with him really well, and then there was December Blue Colt, usually the odd one out, but not here, she felt right at home. Apparently there was some Irish exchange student who didn't make it.

"So, why is your name December? I mean, were you born in December or something?"

"No, I was born in October, my mother named me, she liked Christmas. Actually, I was supposed to be named Christmas but Mom also liked the name Demi so, yeah." She looked down at her food, suddenly not hungry; she always got like this when she talked about her mother. Her mother, Alexandra Reid, was not the best mother according to her Dad. Demi couldn't remember first 5 years of her life, her therapist said it was because she had blocked it out, when her father found out she existed, and she was covered in bruises, hungry, and neglected. She doesn't remember what her mother looked like, and she had inherited most of her father's traits so that wasn't much to go on. Her blue eyes were the only thing she had that was a connection to her mother, beside a few emotional scars and blocked memories, she had a poem her mother had sent her a few years ago, it was framed on her desk and made her tear up whenever she looked at it. It must have been written in lies.

It read: My darling December,

I'm sorry for anything I've done to you, I couldn't protect you, I didn't have it in me. I don't even know your address, and I'm glad for that because then Jerry might find you. But I hope you'll get this, I'll just send it to your previous address and hope it get's forwarded.

I know I'm not the mother of the year, never have been, but I just want to know you know I would never harm you myself. I wasn't in my right state of mind, drugs and booze will do that to you, oh that reminds me, stay away from those! They will mess you up.

I remember your first steps and first words, pre-Jerry. He was a mistake I could only hope I could take back; I never should have moved to that neighborhood, it was all a mistake, except you. You were the only good thing in my life and I messed that up too.

I wish I could say that I want you back, but I would only mess you up further, with your father is a better place for you. My only wish is not that you forgive me but that you grow up to be safe from me, grow up smart happy, because that is my only wish.

With all my love

Your poor excuse of a Mother.

The paper is torn and aged but she refused to throw it out, it was the only words from her "Poor excuse of a Mother" left.

"What's your full name?" Quinn asked curiously.

"December Colt." She never said her middle name, it embarrassed her. Not even Finn or Puck knows, only her father.

"Wow, that's a cool name." Mike said.

"Thanks." She looked down at her watch. She had texted Puck saying she would meet up with him, she could just tell him to meet her here. Just like magic, he called. "Excuse me." She looked up at everyone, and got up to talk to him.

"Hello?" she answered.

"Demi? Hey, where are we going to hang out?"

"Oh, can you meet me at the Mini-Mall; I've met some of your friends." She glanced at the table.

"Oh god." He sighed. "Who all is there?"

"About everyone, except for some Irish guy." she looked over the table once more.

"Okay, I'll be there in 15 minutes." He said. "Bye." A click could be heard and then the line disconnected.

"Hey, Puck's coming in a little while." She said as she sat back down.

"Cool, what about Finn?" Mercedes asked.

"Nah, I think he's still with Rachel." She put her phone back into her pocket.

"Oh. Hey do you want to go to The Gap with us?" Quinn asked. And by "Us" she meant all of the girls, as Demi soon found out.

"Demi, I think this would suit you!" Quinn pulled out a pink, knee-length, sleeveless dress with white flowers along the bottom. In Quinn's eyes it was probably a cute thing that Demi would look adorable in, but in Demi's eyes it was a pink monstrosity with frills.

"No." she said shortly. "No, no Quinn." She said as Quinn inched closer with the blinding pinkness.

"Just try it!" Quinn seemed to pounce on her. After Mercedes, Tina, and Santana joined in, Demi was overpowered. They put her hair up in a messy bun and some loose black curls framing her face, they put a diamond necklace on her and matched the dress with a white cardigan and white flats. Quinn, Sugar, and Brittany cooed over it, Mercedes, Santana, and Tina laughed at how much like a little girl she looked. They all wanted to cry when an adorable pout formed on Demi's face. Demi whipped her phone out of her jeans that were draped over the door and quickly texted Puck "Help me, I'm in The Gap and their ruining my appearance!" the respond came quicker than she expected.

"Hold on." She stared at the doorway, waiting for her hero to rescue her from the evil dragons. After a couple of minutes of suffocating in the "Oohs" and "Ahhs" of women passing by thinking she was some rich girl model, she spotted Puck and waved him over. His eyebrows shot up when he saw what she was wearing.

"What the hell?" he laughed.

"Shut up!" she hissed at him and the others saw him walk up.

"What do you think, Puck?" Quinn moved next to Demi.

"Isn't she adorable?" Sugar squealed.

"Yeah." He said while trying to hold back a smirk. Demi shot him a glare.

"I'm going to change…where did you put my clothes?" she asked.

"In here." Santana waved a paper bag in front of her.

"Why did you put them in there?"

"Because, you're going to wear that for the rest of the day." She smiled deviously.

"I hate you." She murmured. They all walked back to where the guys were.

Sam and Artie gaped at her when they saw her, Mike avoided saying anything because Tina was there, and Kurt and Blaine complimented her and said she should wear something like that more often. Demi was thankful for Puck, who said he liked how she normally dressed; bless her childhood friend who knew her so well.


Finn was just as surprised at her attire when he saw it, but he quickly adjusted and spoke to her as if she wasn't wearing anything different.

At night, Finn offered her his bed but she declined, he then insisted and she finally gave in, he can be so persistent. It was morning now and she dressed out of her grey t-shirt and boxer shorts that she slept in, and into a pair of dark skinny jeans again, a dark grey, oversized sweater, and black flats. It was very comfortable, and kept her warm considering it was freezing outside.

Today would be her first day at McKinley, and she wanted to be as comfortable as she could be, she just brushed her hair and decided not to tie it up, its black curls bounced back up and rested on her shoulders. She didn't have any jewelry on today and only some lip gloss and mascara on, first impressions had never been important for her.

"Demi, Finn said he needed you." Kurt looked into the open door to the bathroom. "Is that what you're wearing?" he looked at the baggy sweater and skinny jeans, flats, and nothing for her hair. "Your surprisingly cute even with nothing fancy on." He said with a tang of jealousy.

"Thanks?" she took that to mean he always had to dress perfectly. "I'll be down in a sec." she finished brushing her hair and went to see what Finn wanted.

"Hey, what are you going to sing for your Glee audition?" He asked when he saw her

"I don't know, I figured I would wing it." She shrugged.

He rolled his eyes. "You can't just wing it."

"Fine, I'll think of it on the way there. Now, do you want me to drive you?"

"Yeah, fine."

"Kurt?"

"Sure." Kurt turned to them.

"Can I drive?" Finn hated it when she drove.

"Nope, my car, I'm driving."

"Fine." They hopped into the car, Kurt in the backseat for some reason and Finn in the passenger seat, and of course Demi was sitting in the driver's seat. She drove horribly and scared Kurt half to death, Finn laughed nervously besides her, trying not to let her see how terrified he was. They squealed into a parking spot and she got out before either of them had a chance to catch their breaths. Some guys in letterman jackets, were walking together, shoving each other and holding a football, occasionally passing it to someone else. They stopped when they saw Demi, she got some whistles and some guys asking for her number, until Finn got out of the car and glared at them. "Hi Demi." Rachel came up to them after the jocks had left.

"Hey Rachel." They started walking side by side and Kurt walked with Finn behind them. "Do you have any suggestions on what I should sing for the audition?"

"No, but maybe something easy." She suggested, she had yet to see if Demi was a treat to her.

"Oh, I have the perfect song!" she jumped for joy.

"Great." Rachel laughed, so far Demi had been enjoyable to have around, and Rachel hoped there wouldn't be any competition with Demi.

They went inside and went their separate ways, seeing as Demi was younger than them; she was in a grade below them.

Demi's classes went pretty okay, her teachers seemed to either be nice or just ignore everything, so that suited her fine. In one class, she sat beside some interesting people in some classes and other times she wished she didn't sit next to anyone. She didn't notice the quite boy in the corner, other times he sat next to her, but neither of them noticed each other.


Rory had had a pretty okay day so far, only been shoved into the wall once and avoided any slushies. Apparently there was a new girl in class, but he hadn't bothered to look up from his book, everyone was talking about how cute she looked, he cursed himself for not looking up. Oh well, there was always tomorrow.

Glee was going to hold an audition for Finn's friend and apparently, everyone's already met her because she was at the mall with them, he cursed himself again for not going. His class didn't have last period today and Glee wouldn't start until everyone was out so he decided to go down to the auditorium, maybe practice for Blue Monday.

But when he saw someone down there he was shocked. All he saw from the doors was a head full of black hair, he knew a couple of people with black hair but none of them would be here now.

He stepped closer to see a girl, fast asleep, stretched out on one of the chairs; she mumbled something and shifted slightly.

"Hello?" Rory said, but her eyes didn't open, instead her head moved drowsily to face him.

"Puck?" She mumbled, she opened one blue eye to see Rory standing there, confused. "You're not Puck."

"Nope." He shook his head. "Don't mean to be rude but, who are you?"

"Demi. Are you with Glee?"

"Yeah, you must be the girl Fin and Puck were talking about."

"Yes, and you must be Rory, judging by your accent and the fact that I've yet to meet you."

"Nice to meet you." He held out his hand. She reluctantly sat up and took it.

"Nice to meet you too." She slumped back to the chair and patted the seat next to her. He sat in it. "So you're from Ireland, what's it like there?"

"It's nice, you're from Boston right? How is it there?"

"It's nice." She mirrored him.

"You're here to audition, right?"

"Yeah, do you think I'll be accepted?"

"Maybe, do you want to be accepted?" she looked at him shocked. She didn't expect that, she hadn't given it much thought. But now that she did, she knew she definitely wanted to be in Glee, she did love to sing, and she liked the people in it.

"Yeah, I do." She whispered, but he heard her. She was pale, and her hair was jet black curls that went to her shoulder, she dressed comfortably yet somehow adorably, and her voice was soft but strong, he couldn't help but feel she would be an amazing singer.

Soon they were joined by the rest of the Glee club. "Oh Rory, that's right, you're in the same grade as Demi." Finn said as they entered the auditorium.

"Hello, you must be Demi, I've heard a lot about you." A man with insane hair walked up to her and shook her hand.

"Everyone seems to want to shake my hand." She said.

"You're an interesting person." Rory said defensively. "And it is polite."

"I guess." She stood up on the stage and a microphone was put in front of her. She muttered her thanks to the man that retreated back to the piano. She had told them previously about what to play, they all knew it. She cleared her throat and Finn gave her thumbs up and Puck grinned proudly.

"2 AM and she calls me 'cause I'm still awake,

'Can you help me unravel my latest mistake?,
I don't love him. Winter just wasn't my season'
Yeah we walk through the doors, so accusing their eyes
Like they have any right at all to criticize,
Hypocrites. You're all here for the very same reason"

They all stood in awe of her. Finn and Puck knew she could do better, but she was saving that for later. Her voice was soft yet strong, just like her normal voice, but it resonated with Rory, it was beautiful, that was clear.

"Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable
and life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button, girl.
So cradle your head in your hands
And breathe... just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe"

She closed her eyes and sang. To her, she was sitting in her bedroom back in Boston, texting her best friend and singing quietly to herself.

"May he turned 21 on the base at Fort Bliss
"Just a day" he said down to the flask in his fist,
"Ain't been sober, since maybe October of last year."
Here in town you can tell he's been down for a while,
But, my God, it's so beautiful when the boy smiles,
Wanna hold him. Maybe I'll just sing about it.

Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable,
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table.
No one can find the rewind button, boys,
So cradle your head in your hands,
And breathe... just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe"

Playing with Noah Puckerman and Finn Hudson. Just a little girl, playing on the playground, swinging, trying her hardest to go higher than Noah but always failing, until Finn helped her and she finally beat that smug Noah. Finn, her older brother, well, in a sense. Noah, a mischievous little devil that always seemed to get her in trouble, but always made her laugh too. Playing on the playground with Noah Puckerman and Finn Hudson.

"There's a light at each end of this tunnel,
You shout 'cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out
And these mistakes you've made, you'll just make them again
If you'd only try turning around.

2 AM and I'm still awake, writing a song
If I get it all down on paper, it's no longer inside of me,
Threatening the life it belongs to
And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd
Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud
And I know that you'll use them, however you want to

But you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable,
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button now
Sing it if you understand.
And breathe, just breathe
whoa breathe, just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe."

"Of course." She laughed and gave him a big hug. They all laughed and talked for awhile after that and Demi felt she could definitely get used to the Glee Club.
