Glee Part 5
POV change, Tanya
Okay I'm going to tell you about our video, but it might get confusing!
Arty
Tanya
Both:
Oooo,
Ohhh,
Oooo!
Tanya and Arty,
Oh yeah!
This life don't last forever
Hold my hand
So tell me what we're waiting for
Hold my hand
We're better off being together
Hold my hand
Being miserable alone
Hold my hand
Cause I've been there before
And you've been there before,
But together we can be alright.
Alright, yeah
Cuz when it gets dark and when it gets cold
We hold each other till we see the sunlight.
So if you just hold my hand, baby,
I promise I'll do all I can
Things will get better if you just hold my hand
Nothing can come between us if you just
Hold, hold my hold, hold my, hold my hand,
Hold my hand.
The video continued until the song was over and everyone in the choir room cheered and clapped. I blushed and Arty nodded and said thank you.
We did everyone else's videos and then for the last two days of the week we would just sing random songs.
As we left the choir room Arty told me, "Tanya you know all the guys are wondering why you're so guy sensitive. Mr. Figgins thinks that you have male-a-phobia. You need to tell the people in choir what happened!"
"I can't."
"Tanya, we're like a family. We all help each other and we all help one another out."
"Arty they may be like family to you but they're not to me," with that I swiftly walked away and waited for him by my 'bike'.
"Look Tanya, the least you could do is sing a song about it. I already have one picked out, plus there's a part where I can sing, even though it's a girl's song. But I'll be there with you for support! Please? Plus we can practice tonight because I'm having supper at your house."
"Fine, I'll do it," I agreed.
Arty grinned with satisfaction as we drove away, heading towards my house…
We arrived and went down the elevator in my house, weird right? The pervious people that lived in our house were extremely rich, but lazy too, so they had an elevator built in.
I had the whole basement to myself. My bed was sunk into the floor and I had blue curtains by all my windows. I had a dark blue L couch in the north corner where there was also a coffee table and a camera.
I explained to Arty that I have a website and that I make music videos.
"How? I mean do you move the couch and stuff each time?"
"Nope." I grabbed the remote that was sitting by my bed and clicked the button that said flip. Suddenly the wall on the north corner turned and there was a dance stage. I hit a few more buttons and the lights turned down, the dance floor flashed different colors in different spots and the light above the 'stage' flashed too.
"That is so cool!" Arty stated.
"Ah, ah, ah. I'm not done yet." I hit one more button and then a whit screen came down the wall, another push and an ocean showed on the screen, then a meadow, laboratory, library, and all sorts of different places finally I hit one more button and music played.
"Hey Artie what song did you want us to sing tomorrow?"
"F in Perfect by Pink," he stated.
"Well here's a warm up."
The music intro started and then I began to sing:
Trip, A red whine
Gaga
I've had a little bit too much, much
All of the people start to rush, start to rush by
A dizzy twister dance
Can't find my drink or man
Where are my keys?
I lost my phone, phone
What's going?
On all of the floor
I love this record baby but I can't see strait any more
Keep it cool
What's the name of this club?
I can't remember but it's alright,
Alright
Just Dance
Gonna be okay
Da-da-do
Just dance, spin that record babe
Da-da-do
Just dance gonna be okay
Duh-duh-duh-dance
Dance, dance, dance
Duh-duh-duh-dust Dance!
"Whoo that was great! Now let's go upstairs so I can make supper before my mom gets home so we have time to practice," I commanded.
Arty happily followed me and so I made scalloped potatoes, ribs, and garden salad.
"I'll do dishes okay sweetie pie? You and Arty go practice."
"Mom would you please not call me that in front of other people?"
"Hey it's kind of catchy. I might start calling you that," Arty said sarcastically.
"Well come on joker we better get to work," I said in reply.
The next day Artie and I were totally pumped. I was in a baggy green tank top, skinny jeans, green converse, and I also had a black glove with cut off fingers.
Arty was wearing black jeans, black converse, a leather black jacket and a dark green t-shirt.
We went through our regular classes and when choir came Arty rolled in without me.
Finn asked, "Hey where's Tanya?"
"She wanted everyone to go to the auditorium. She has something she wants to show you guys."
As soon as they walked in the door I put the microphone up to my mouth and began:
Made a wrong turn once or twice
Dug my way out blood and fire
Bad decisions?
That's alright
Welcome to my silly life
Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood
Miss No way, it's all good,
It didn't slow me down
Mistaken, always second guessing,
Underestimated
Look I'm still around
Pretty, pretty, please,
Don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less then,
Less than perfect
Pretty, pretty, please,
If you ever, ever feel like you're nothing
You are perfect to me!
Then next thing I knew Arty was there singing next to me and I echoed him:
You're so mean
When you talk
About yourself
You were wrong
Change the voices
In your head
Make them like you instead
So complicated,
Look happy, you'll make it!
Filled with so much hatred…
Such a tired game
It's enough!
I've done all I can think of
Chased down all my demons,
I've seen you do the same
Oh, oh…
Pretty, pretty please
Don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than
Less than Perfect
Pretty, pretty please,
If you ever, ever feel like you're nothing
You are perfect to me
The whole world's scared so I swallow the fear
The only thing I should be drinking is an ice cold beer
So cool in line,
And we try, try, try
But we try too hard and it's a waste of my time
Done looking for the critics,
Cause they're everywhere
They don't like my jeans
They don't get my hair
Exchange ourselves, and we do it all the time
Why do we do that?
Why do I do that?
Why do I do that?
Yeah!
Oh…..
Oh pretty, pretty, please
Yeah!
Pretty, pretty please,
Don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than,
Less than perfect
Pretty, pretty please
If you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing
You are perfect to me!
You're perfect
You're perfect, you're perfect
Pretty, pretty please
If you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing
You are perfect to me…
"Yeah Tanya!" They shouted and cheered.
"Thank you. You probably don't know what I meant when I sang that song. Well Arty told me that there was a rumor going around that I have male-a-phobia, well I decided to set that rumor straight. The reason I'm afraid of guys is because of my step dad. Well ex-step dad now. When he and my mom got married, after their honey-moon, she came home extremely late and well he took those opportunities to well, sort of rape me. I got pregnant and gave birth twice. After the second time my mom realized I was telling the truth and she kicked him out actually she almost killed him with a kitchen knife. I wanted to tell you because you guys are like a family to me and I trust you. If possible could you not tell anyone about this?"
They all nodded in agreement.
"Well now we can all sing a song where a family and memories come together," stated Finn. He then signaled the band and started:
Welcome to our family time(x3)
There's nothing complicated about the way we live
Rachael sang:
We're all here for each other,
Happy to give!
Together they sang:
All we have we share
And all of us we care
So come on!
We all got up on stage and joined in:
