It's Not You Who Needs to Get It Right
I just read some pretty strong stories and they inspired me to write this so here you go
Chapter One: The Song
What have I done? I wish I could
Away from this ship goin' under
just tryin' to help, hurteveryone
now I feel the weight of the world is
on my shoulders-
Rachel felt herself quake as she started her song. What if Quinn used it against her? What if nobody liked it? But most importantly, what if Finn figured out all the tears and scars he helped give her behind those lyrics…
-What can you do when your good isn't good enough?
When all that you touch tumbles down?
'Cause my best intentions keep making a mess of things
I just wanna fix it some-how-
Flashbacks of the things Quinn had said and done to her raced through her aching mind. "He never loved you Rachel! He never will!" She just wanted to scream "He did love me Quinn and I loved him!" Finn did love her and Rachel knew, deep down he still did. The two of them shared something, something that couldn't be touched, tasted or heard. It had to be felt. And though it was unexplainable, they both knew it was there. No matter what Quinn said it would always linger there haunting her, the connection Finn didn't have with her.
-But how many it times will it take?
Oh, how many timeswill it take for me?
To get it right
to get it ri-igh-ight. Can I start again with my faith shaken?
'Cause I can't go back and undo this
I just have to stay andface my mistakes
But if I get strongerand wiser
I'll get through this
Truthfully Rachel wasn't sure if she would make it through. She'd lost Finn and Kurt left and what if they lost regionals yet again? Quinn and Santana would just say "Thanks Rachel! I'll bet it was your stupid song that lost it for us!" She had nothing left but moments like these. The spotlights shining, the crowd completely silent just for her, her voice surging through the room.
What can you do when your good isn't good enough?
When all that you touch tumbles down?
'Cause my best intentions keep making a mess of things
I just wanna fix it somehow
But how many it times will it take?
Oh, how many times will it take for me?
To get it right
to get it ri-igh-ight
So I throw up my fist
I will punch in the air
And accept the truth that sometimes life isn't fair
Yeah, I'll sendout a wish
Yeah, I'll send up a prayer
And finally, someone will see How much I care!
What can you do when your good isn't good enough?
When all that you touch tumbles down?
'Cause my best intentions keep making a mess of things
I just wanna fix it somehow
But how many it times will it take?
Oh, how many times will it take for me?
To get it right
to get it ri-igh-ight!
Her heart was pounding, the crowd was cheering, the rest of the new directions were coming out of there solid positions. "Wow!" thought Finn. Here he was they were starting their song and all he could do was stand there in awe of Rachel staring at Quinn's cold hard "Why did you have to be good?" stare that was locked on her trying to push her down mentally.
THERE YOU GO! My first fanfiction story or part of a story anyway! Oh right the disclaimer I don't own glee or any of its characters and this story happens while Rachel sings get it right for anyone who zoned out completely during that story!
