Hey guys,
I know that this isn't the most action packed chapter but after hearing this song I decided I wanted to put it in and I also decided that I wanted to have one chapter of Lily at McKinley just so you can get a feel for what is was like there.
Ummm I am king of nervous about how the song lyrics turned out, I hoped they worked well enough. My stories are usually acted out in my head first so when I picture Lily singing this song she is moving around more than I portray that she is, I just wasn't sure how to incorporate all of those elements. If you have any suggestions let me know.
Singing is in italics

Chapter 1
The One that Got Away
"Hey guys listen up!" Mr. Schuester said quieting down the glee club. "As you all know, today is Lily's last day and she wanted to share something before she left."
Lily got up from her chair and went to face her friends. "Hey guys. So I am going back to London tomorrow and before I went I thought I should sing one more song for all of you. This song is actually for someone back in London, and even though I am going to miss you all like crazy, being separated from him has been really hard." Lily nodded to the band and they began to play.
And then the small redhead began to sing.
"Summer after high school when we first met
We make out in your Mustang to Radiohead
And on my eighteenth birthday
We got matching tattoos,
Used to steal your parents' liquor
And climb to the roof
Talk about our future
Like we had a clue
Never planned on one day
I'd be losing you"
The glee club members were smiling and nodding their head to the beat. The small Brit had surprised them all with her voice. She was small but her voice was strong. Lily shocked herself as well. She always liked to sing but never had she sang in front of other people before until she came to McKinley.
"But in another life
I would be your girl
We'd keep all our promises
Be us against the world
In another life
I would make you stay
So I don't have to say
You were the one that got away
The one that got away
Now the glee club was clapping their hands to the beat. All of them enjoying the Lily's performance
"I was June and you were
My Johnny Cash
Never one without the other
We made a pact
And sometimes when I miss you
I put those records on
Someone said you had your
Tattoo removed
I saw you downtown
Singing the blues
It's time to face the music
I'm no longer your muse
But in another life
I would be your girl
We'd keep all our promises
Be us against the world
In another life
I would make you stay
So I don't have to say you were
The one that got away
The one that got away
The o-o-o-o-one
The o-o-o-o-one
The o-o-o-o-one
The one that got away"
Lily skipped over to the piano and continued singing as she started to walk circles around it.
"All this money can't buy me
A time machine
Nooooo
I can't replace you with
A million rings
Noooooo
I should of told you what you
Meant to me
Wooooaaah
'Cause now I've paid the price
But in another life"
Now the members of the glee club stood up and joined Lily. Forming a tight knit group around her.
"I would be your girl"
They were all hugging her and twirling her around and dancing like crazy and singing along to the Katy Perry song.
"We'd keep all our promises
Be us against the world"
Mr. Schue joined them all as well, giving Lily a big hug. He was going to really miss the little bubbly redhead.
"In another life
I would make you stay
So I don't have to say you were
The one that got away
The one that got away"
Brittany, Santana, and Quinn started singing the background "The o-o-o-o-one" 's as Lily continued singing small riffs.
"The oooonnne
The oooonnne
The oooooooooonnne"
And then everyone joined in again.
"In another life
I would make you stay
So I don't have to say you were
The one that got away"
And then all the other glee club members dropped out and engulfed Lily in a big group hug as she sang the last line.
"The one that got away"
Liked it?
Loved it?
Hated it?
Are completely confused?
