11:00 PM
Rrring!
Will Schuester lifted up his head and reached over for the phone.
"Hello?" He said, sleepily.
"Hi, Mr. S!" the voice on the other line perked up. "Oh, are you asleep? Sorry. We're um, here. At the, uh, airport."
"Is this...David?"
"Yup!"
"Okay, I'll be there in a bit."
"Okay,"
He hung up, sitting up, and finding a descent shirt and a pair of jeans.
"Car keys…" he mumbled to himself, looking at the dresser.
He walked to his car and headed over to the airport.
"Hello," he said when he arrived, rolling down the window.
"Mom," David said. "Mr. Schuester is here."
A woman stood up and followed her son to Will's car.
"Hey, Dave," Will said, helping the two with their luggage. "How's school?"
"Oh, it's good."
"Still singing?"
David nodded. "I'm a music major."
"Oh? You don't have school?"
"We're on semester break,"
"That's great! You can meet my glee kids! I mean if that's okay with your mom,"
His mother nodded. "That's fine by me,"
3:00 PM-McKinley High
"Hey, guys,"
"Hi," the group chimed in.
"I have a very special guest for you today."
"If its another one of those teachers who try to teach us that if we have sex, we die, no thanks," Santana says, filing her nails.
"No, Santana. This is David St. James, he's staying with me this weekend."
Everyone looks at Rachel as David joins Will. "Hi," he says, smiling widely. "It's nice to meet you all,"
"Hi," Rachel blushes. Finn looks over at her again, followed by Quinn and Mercedes.
"David is a music major, and he's staying with me for the week."
"Oh," Rachel giggles again. David grins with a lopsided smile back at Rachel, and there's an awkward silence.
"So, Nationals!" Will says, clapping his hands then turning to the piano to pick up some sheet music. "You could sit down," he whispers to David, who nods, and takes the surprisingly empty seat next to Rachel, who gushes.
"Any suggestions? Let's keep it tasteful. A mix of old and new." Will says, looking at his students.
"I wanna hear the new guy sing. He's cute." Brittany says, quietly, and Rachel whips her head around to look at her.
"Don't worry David," she says, patting his hand with hers. "I've got this. By the way, you look nothing like your brother." Before giving David a chance to respond, "Mr. Schuester, I have something to present," she walks up next to Will.
"Pow…" Puck says, punching the air. "She's obviously over Jesse."
"Hush, Noah." Rachel snaps, then her eye catches Finn, who is looking at her with a clueless expression. She furrows her brow before continuing. "David, care to join me?"
"Um," He looks over at the others and he stands up to join Rachel.
"Here goes nothing," Mercedes says to Quinn, who nods.
"Desperate, desperate
You're reaching out
And no one hears you cry
You're freaking out again
'Cause all your fears
Remind you"
David joins her, after watching her, and takes a step closer.
"another dream has come undone
You feel so small and lost like you're the only one
You wanna scream 'cause you're
Desperate"
And they join for the chorus,
"You want somebody, just anybody
To lay their hands to your soul tonight
You want a reason to keep believin'
That someday you're gonna see the light"
"'Cause you're desperate;"
"desperate"
"'Cause you're desperate;"
"and now
You know that things have gotta change
You can't go back you'll find your way
And day by day
You start to come alive"
The rest of the club is watching, at the edge of their seats, on their toes, for Rachel's turn, but she doesn't. Instead, she walks out. The rest of the club is awestruck, and David stands there awkwardly, not knowing why she had just walked out on him.
3:00-Dalton Academy
"Nationals," Wes says, addressing his group of Warblers.
"Crush," suggests Blaine who was sitting on the arm of the couch Kurt is sitting on.
Wes takes notes. "Any other suggestions?"
"I like that song," someone speaks up.
David looks at Blaine. "That Archuleta kid?"
Blaine shrugs, "Hey, why not?"
The admissions representative brings a family of four past the room where they practiced.
"Ah, this is the Warblers, our a capella group." She says, presenting the group. "Could you sing something for us?"
"Yeah, why not?" Blaine says.
Wes looks at David who sighs and looks at Blaine, "Fine, start,"
Blaine stood up, followed by Kurt.
"I hung up the phone tonight
Something happened for the first time
Deep inside it was a rush, what a rush
Cause the possibility
That you would ever feel the same way
About me, just too much, just too much
Why do I keep running from the truth?
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I just got to know
Do you ever think when you're all alone
All that we can be, where this thing can go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it really just another crush?
Do you catch a breath when I look at you?
Are you holding back like the way I do?
?Cause I've tried and tried to walk away
But I know this crush ain?t going away-ay-ay
Going away-ay-ay
Has it ever crossed your mind
When we're hanging, spending time girl?
Are we just friends? Is there more? Is there more?
See it's a chance we've gotta take
Cause I believe that we can make this into
Something that will last, last forever, forever!
Do you ever think when you're all alone
All that we could be, where this thing could go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it really just another crush?
Do you catch a breath when I look at you?
Are you holding back like the way I do?
?Cause I've tried and tried to walk away
But I know this crush ain?t going away-ay-ay
Going away-ay-ay
Why do I keep running from the truth?
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I just got to know
Do you ever think when you're all alone
All that we could be, where this thing could go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it really just another crush?
Do you catch a breath when I look at you?
Are you holding back like the way I do?
?Cause I've tried and tried to walk away
But I know this crush ain?t going away-ay-ay
This crush ain't going away-ay-ay
Going away
Going away-ay-ay
Going away-ay-ay"
The visiting group clapped. "That was great," the lady who was probably the mother said.
Blaine smiled at Kurt then turned to address Wes. "Looks like we've got our song."
3:30-McKinley
"Rachel, what's wrong?" It was Finn.
"He's Jesse's brother!"
"I'm sorry but…"
"Now I'm going through this again...I can't. He's his brother."
"Well...then try not to listen to him…"
Rachel looked at Finn giving him an expression that read, "you're missing the obvious".
"What?" Finn asked.
"Do you think…"
"Rachel, you know what I'm going to say,"
"Okay, I was just wondering. Thanks anyways, Finn, I'm going to go back in."
She stood up and walked back into the music room.
"Rachel!" David says.
"Hi, David. Listen…I'm really sorry about earlier, just forget it happened."
Half the room gasps in shock. A few whispers of "did Rachel really apologize" swept the room, followed by a glare from Rachel herself.
"Anyways, I think I know a song that would be perfect," she perks up, grabbing David by the hand and whispering in his ear. He nods.
McKinley Auditorium
Every night it's all the same
You're frozen by the phone
You wait, something's changed
You blame yourself every day
You'd do it again
Every night
There's something 'bout love
That breaks your heart
Whoa oh oh oh
It sets you free
There's something 'bout love
That tears you up
Whoa oh oh oh
You still believe
When the world falls down like the rain
It'll bring you to your knees
There's something 'bout love that breaks your heart
Whoa oh oh oh…
But don't give up
There's something 'bout love
When you were young
Scared of the night
Waiting for love to come along
And make it right
Your day will come, the past is gone
So take your time
And live and let live
There's something 'bout love
That breaks your heart
Whoa oh oh oh
It sets you free
There's something 'bout love
That tears you up
Whoa oh oh oh
You still believe
When the world falls down like the rain
It'll bring you to your knees
There's something 'bout love that breaks your heart
Whoa oh oh oh…
But don't give up
There's something 'bout love
Don't fight
Don't hide
Those stars in your eyes (in your eyes)
Let em' shine tonight
Let em' shine tonight
Hang on
Hang in
For the ride of your life
It's gonna be alright
Hold on tight
There's something 'bout love
That breaks your heart
Whoa oh oh oh
There's something 'bout love
That breaks your heart
Whoa oh oh oh
It sets you free
There's something 'bout love
That tears you up
Whoa oh oh oh
You still believe
When the world falls down like the rain
It'll bring you to your knees (to your knees)
There's something 'bout love that breaks your heart
Whoa oh oh oh…
But don't give up
There's something 'bout love
Whoa oh oh oh..
Set's you free
There's something bout love
That tears you up
Whoa oh oh oh
You still believe
When the world falls down like the rain
Cue the group hug.
