Prologue
Ellie Warner didn't know where Lima, Ohio was. Only that it was in the western part of the state and home to the best Cheerleading program in the nation, as well as the worst football program in the nation.
But even that, she only knew from Wikipedia. Or at least, Wikipedia's sources- the city website and an article from the local newspaper about the football team losing again.
Her father didn't say much, other than that he needed to be closer to Cincinnati since his sister, Ellie's aunt, died of Breast Cancer.
"Then why can't we just move to Cincy?" Ellie remembered asking.
"This is where we're moving," her father had said.
She smiled at the memory of her father. Ellie shed no more tears. She had none left. It was her and her brother Ray now.
She lied to Ray, who was only thirteen. She told him that some good would come out of another death in the Warner family. "Another in a long line," she said to herself, often.
The problem was that Ellie didn't believe in good anymore. Her mother died when Ray was about three weeks old, and now her father was dead of an Overdose on Pain Medication. "Accidental," the pathologist told her, as if that would make her feel any better.
In between, both of her Grandpas died, as well as her Paternal Grandmother. An aunt and uncle were killed in an armed robbery in New Orleans, and Aunt Suzy died of Cancer.
Ellie cried only twice after her father died. Once when she was told, and once when she cleaned out his bedroom. Ray cried only a single time.
So when Ellie walked into William McKinley High School in December, there was no sadness, nor relief.
It was the same horrible feeling she had been feeling for the last thirteen years.
Black.
That was the best way Ellie could describe it.
In the hallway, she saw a sign-up sheet for the Glee Club, and had to giggle.
She forgot one thing from the Wikipedia article on Lima, Ohio.
Lima was also home to one of the proudest Glee programs in the entire nation.
And, young Ellie Warner wanted in.
A/N: OK, so how was it? An update is coming very soon, and I know this chapter was sad, but it will be a happy story, I promise… Hopefully you guys R&R and tell me what you think!!
Thanks!!
