So this is my first story to fan fiction. It is Finchel, and there will be some Klaine incorporated into it, so please be patient. Since this is my first story I'd really appreciate the criticism.
I DO NOT OWN GLEE; if I did I would have Cory all to myself because he is just gorgeous. I also do not own Another Cinderella Story, a Cinderella Story, Wicked or Bleeding Love by Leona Lewis. Thanks.
The Singing Cinderella
She is singing on stage, belting her heart out to her favorite song out of the whole production. She finally made it; she was playing the role of her dreams. Elphaba, the starring role of her favorite Broadway musical, Wicked. She sings the final end note of her song "Bring me down, Oh oh oh oh." She finishes the song to the sound of thunderous applause, and as soon as her day dream began, it is quickly over and she hears her voice being called by one of her step sisters. "Rachel! Rachel!" "What is it Satan, I mean Santana?" "I'm just going to ignore that comment for now, but mom is calling you because she needs you to do inventory and, Brittany and I do not feel like getting our hands dirty." Santana responded. "Lazy" muttered Rachel, as she was walking away from Santana and into the back of the store to do inventory. She did not hate her step sisters or even her step mother, even if it did seem like that. She was just tired of being treated like dirt by all of them even if the music store was rightfully hers, because it was her fathers before his untimely death ten years ago. She had just turned six, and he was remarried by that time, and he left her with an unwanted new family. She did not think that her father was unhappy with the small family they were, and therefore saw it unfit for him to get remarried, but he insisted because she needed to grow up with a mother. Sue could be counted more as a care taker than a mother because all Rachel did was clean and take care of the store more than anyone else did. She was brought out of her memories by the sound of CDs crashing on the floor.
She went out into the store and saw that Sue, Brittany, and Santana had left her by herself to tend to the store. She saw the cause of the commotion was her best friend Kurt. "Thanks a lot Kurt, now I have to clean this mess up." "Sorry Rachel you know how clumsy I can get when I'm not paying attention" "its fine, but you have to keep me company know till Sue gets back." "Alright whatever, I have nothing better to do." he responded. He quickly started discussing the ball and what Rachel was going to go as. "Kurt, I told you I don't have time for all of this; I need to focus on getting into Julliard and getting an audition before I can focus on anything else." "Oh please Rachel, you and I both know you are going to get in, you are the most talented person I know, and it would be a crime for you to not get in." She knew he was right, but she could not help but be nervous, she needed to get as far away as possible from Sue, and all of the harassment she receives from her. "Fine Kurt, I'm just going to finish the inventory, please take care of the store if anyone comes in." Rachel said as she was putting the CDs back on their shelves. She barely heard his response, as she tuned out again and began singing, to pass the time. While she was counting the inventory, she saw that Kurt had turned on the TV and was watching Lima's gossip show. "News says that local band Finn and the Boys, are coming back to Lima Ohio to finish their senior year at their old high school McKinley High." "We just wanna get back to our roots, and keep it real. We aren't quitting show business, just taking a break" says Finn. "It is reported that Finn and the Boys are hosting a singing competition at the end of the month, so get you voices ready, for what is going to be the biggest sing off of the year, the lucky winner will be given the chance to be in their newest video." "Reporting for Channel 5 news I'm Jesse St. James saying Goodnight Ohio."
"You should totally enter Rachel, this is your chance to get away from Sue and get out of this cow town"
"I'll see how it goes, so on a different note how is my dress coming, I'm really excited for the ball, and I have a feeling that Sue may actually let me go." Rachel asked with a smile on her face.
"That's for me to know and for you to find out." Kurt responded with a smirk on his face.
Rachel entered the house and began to get her things ready for school tomorrow, when she heard Sues voice over the intercom telling her to fold laundry. She finished her chores and went to sleep preparing for the busy day she knew was coming tomorrow, with Finn and the Boys coming back she couldn't fall asleep without dreaming of Finn. She used to have a crush on him when they were younger and she regretted not acting on it sooner, but she'd have to see how things went the next day.
Rachel waited to hear the sound of Kurt's car coming to pick her up before she left the house. She was dressed in what she called her "impress somebody but look comfortable" look. She was wearing black skinny jeans, with a purple v-neck top and her black converse. Kurt pulled up and the two started talking about how the day would go. When they pulled up and Rachel got out of the car Quinn drove by them slowly with Brittany and Santana in her car talking to them about some stupid new diet. She sipped her red slushy one time and then threw it at Rachel. "Oops, Rachel I totally didn't see you there, it was as if you were totally invisible my bad." "Yeah Quinn well check out my totally invisible finger, you skanky bitch." Rachel replied, before she got another word in Kurt interrupted her and told her that Quinn wasn't worth it. They walked into the school arm in arm. As soon as they walked into McKinley they heard Karofsky shout to Kurt" Hey Lady Fabulous." "Shut Up, you idiot Neanderthal!" "Come on Kurt it's so not worth it." They continued walking and two seconds they heard Becky yelling that Finn and the Boys had arrived, and everybody was running towards the door and ambushing them.
Finn exited the car and heard people yelling his name. "Hey guys party at my house, Friday night" yelled Karofsky. "Oh my gosh guys, I love you so much" said Jacob, before he threw up at their feet. Finn, Sam, Puck and their manager Blaine quickly jumped back. "It's good to be back" sighed Puck. "You bet" replied Sam, and he and Puck headed off into the crowded hallway looking for girls. Blaine and Finn started walking and Blaine was singing the jingle to Sue's music store. "If you want it, you got it." He pushed Finn and caused him to bump into a small girl causing her to fall on the floor. Finn quickly turned around to try to help her up and was looking at the most beautiful pair of brown eyes that he ever laid his eyes on. The entire world seemed to slow down, until he was brought out of his trance by no one other than his ex Quinn. "Hey Finn, long time no kiss" she said as she tried to push herself on him, he pushed her off and turned to help the girl on the floor, "Hi I'm Finn." "Rachel" she responded. "Ugh Finn come on we have better things to do than hang out with this loser trust me, so I heard you were coming to glee later today." Quinn said as she pulled him away from Rachel. Blaine looked at Finn and gave him the go ahead to walk with Quinn, and he looked down and saw Kurt looking up at him.
"Hi, I'm Blaine, but my friends call me Hobbit." Blaine said.
"This is Kurt," Rachel responded for him.
"Cool, I'll see you around Kurt" said Blaine as he walked off.
"Kurt he's cute, what's up?" asked Rachel.
Before she got her response he was interrupted by Santana.
"What's your problem Rachel" asked Santana. "Nothing what's yours" replied Rachel. Kurt had to drag Rachel off before she said something that he was sure would get back to Sue and caused Rachel to get into bigger trouble than she already was in.
Rachel was sneaking into glee club because she wasn't allowed to do any after school activities because she had to get to work on time and make dinner, but she couldn't help herself, she was born to be on stage. She noticed that the auditorium was empty and she went behind the curtain and sat at the piano and began to sing.
Closed off from love, I didn't need the pain
Once or twice was enough and it was all in vain
Time starts to pass, before you know it you're frozen
But something happened for the very first time with you
My heart melted to the ground, found something true
And everyone's looking 'round, thinking I'm going crazy
But I don't care what they say, I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away but they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein that I keep on closing
You cut me open and I
Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding, I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open
Trying hard not to hear but they talk so loud
Their piercing sounds fill my ears, try to fill me with doubt
Yet I know that the goal is to keep me from falling
But nothing's greater than the rush that comes with your embrace
And in this world of loneliness I see your face
Yet everyone around me thinks that I'm going crazy
Maybe, maybe
But I don't care what they say, I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away but they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein that I keep on closing
You cut me open and I
Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding, I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open
And it's draining all of me
Oh, they find it hard to believe
I'll be wearing these scars for everyone to see
I don't care what they say, I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away but they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein that I keep on closing
You cut me open and I
Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding, I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open and I
Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding, I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open and I
Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
She finished her song and she checked her phone to see that she had gotten a text from Sue, Rachel, where are you? I need you to come make dinner for the most important meeting of my life NOW. Shit she thought, she rushed out of the auditorium without noticing the tall pop star standing at the doors.
As she was finishing the song, Finn was passing the auditorium and heard the most beautiful voice he had ever heard. He was so enticed by it that he started walking toward the stage to see if there was anyone up there, but all he saw was the lights of the stage being turned on. He had no idea why but when he heard that voice, he felt something in his heart telling him that he need to find out who this voice belonged to. Little did he know it belonged to the nobody at the school Rachel Berry.
So that's my first chapter of my first story. I hope it wasn't to disappointing and I'd really appreciate it if you would review it and tell me what I could do to make it better. I am also sorry if I messed up on the format of it, because as I said before I'm new to this. I will have another chapter if enough people like it by next week hopefully, I already have ten planned out and the drama is yet to come.
