Cat Fighting and the Audition
Demon pulled up at her now family home wishing she had just ignored her mother and stayed at the coffee house she had spent the whole journey attempting to figure out what she'd done lately to piss off her mother she closed the door behind her to be met with,
"Jamie Alexandra Carter!" she screamed,
"Yes mother," Demon answered using the same flat tone she had been using most of the day,
"Do you know who I got a call from today,"
"No but I'm assuming you're going to tell me,"
"From your fathers lawyer,"
"And you are yelling at me why?"
"I know you have been talking to him encouraging him,"
"To do what exactly?"
"Fight for custody,"
A slight grin appeared on Demons mouth that she had been doing she wanted out of her toxic relationship with her mother,
"I did nothing but chat with him about our relationship,"
"Room. Now. Jamie!"
She huffed, "Yes dear."
Demon jogged up to her room not particularly bothered that her mother had bossed her about like she was twelve, she had things to do. Her bedroom had yet to be completely unpacked but she had unpacked the things that mattered, placing her laptop on the bed she switched her webcam on and hit record before grabbing her guitar and started strumming,
This time,
This place,
Misused,
Mistakes
Her voice rang out through the room several octaves higher then the original song,
Too long,
Too late
Who was I to make you wait
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
'Cause you know,you know,
you know
She slammed her pick into the pickguard as she hit the right notes,
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore
On my knees,
I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
'Cause with you,
I'd withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I'd give it al
lI'd give for us
Give anything but I won't give up
'Cause you know,you know, you know
So far away
Been far away for far too long
So far away
Been far away for far too long
But you know, you know, you know
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore
I wanted
I wanted you to stay
'Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I forgive you
For being away for far too long
So keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go
She took a deep breath as the song came to a close and turned off her camera setting her guitar down she leaned back in her bed running the lyrics through her head that she planned on singing at the glee auditions tomorrow.
Her alarm clock rudely woke her up at six fifteen the next morning leaving her time to get washed and dressed, do her make up complete with green lipstick to match her hair, if you can pull it off why not, she thought to herself. Ohio was colder then LA so she had swapped her shorts for leather pants and a green corset. She was about to head out of the house, having cleverly avoided her mother, when her cell phone went off,
From: Kurt
Heya want to meet in the parking lot? We can walk to home room together.
She smiled having forgotten she had exchanged numbers with her new favorite person. She answered him quickly before zipping up her tough leather jacket and pulling her motorcycle helmet over her dreads. Another boring as hell day awaited her at McKinley High.
Kurt was true to his word as she pulled up into the parking lot he was there waiting for her she put her helmet on one of her arms before linking her other with Kurt,
"So what happened with your Mom last night," he asked before backtracking, "Or is that to personal to tell someone you've only known a day,"
"No, it's just something I'd rather not talk about. I get enough of that drama at home,"
"Well I hate to brake it to you but glee club is full of drama,"
"Don't worry teenage drama I can handle. I need to go to my locker,"
"No problem," they walked over the lockers thankfully neither of them getting slammed into anything. Demon pulled open her locker which hadn't been decorated much thanks to it only being her second day it did however have a picture of her and her dad stuck in it along with a large mirror. She threw her helmet into her locker followed by her gloves,
"So are you close with your dad?" Kurt asked eyeing the photo,
"Yeah me and him rebuild my bike a couple years ago you?"
"Yeah, yeah me and my dad are really close he's actually a mechanic he owns an auto shop. I bet you two would get on like a house on fire,"
She grinned closing her locker, "You might be right about that."
Again Demon had ended up sat next to Dave Karofsky as no one else seemed inclined to sit there but this time the jock made no attempt to speak to her so she figured it was time to build some bridges,
"I'm sorry about yesterday,"
The jock turned to her a slight expression of shock on his face, "What?"
She huffed, "I said that I was sorry I was a bit snippy with you but can you really blame me?" she asked shrugging out of her leather jacket to reveal the huge bruise that had spread from her shoulder to her back, "Courtesy of one of your team mates,"
He winced a little the bruise really did look worse then it was against her pale white skin,
"I'll tell them to lay off,"
She snorted, "That's kind of you but don't bother I can fight my own battles,"
"Tough girl hey,"
"Something like that. So Dave how come no one wants to sit next to you?"
He huffed, knowing if this girl found out about last year she'd see sense and wouldn't want anything to do with him either,
"Who said no one wants to sit next to me,"
"Fine you don't want to tell me then that's okay. So what's it like being a football player?"
"Not very exciting,"
She mocked surprise, "No say it isn't so," she started laughing and wasn't surprised when Dave joined her,
"Miss Carter," the teachers voice cut across their laughter, "Would you like to share the joke with the class,"
Demon raised her eyebrows, "Not particularly,"
"Is that so? Then perhaps you could share it with me during detention after school tomorrow," Dave laughed next to her and instantly regretted it, "You too chuckle head,"
Dave elbowed her and she shrugged, "Not my fault you laughed."
The rest of the day passed just like the day before, Rachel prattling on in English followed by Spanish, a class she didn't even know why she was in, she had absolutely no concept of languages but the end of the day brought her glee audition. Something she was now regretting more then anything as she stage fright was battling to get the best of her as she walked to the auditorium she walked across the stage until she stood behind the microphone and surveyed the glee club. She saw a few faces she recognized along with a lot she didn't and she was sort of surprised to see a few lettermen jackets sitting with the club along with Mr. Schue the Spanish teacher who clearly ran the club,
"When you're ready," he smiled,
She felt a bit exposed without her guitar but she hadn't brought it with her and the music had started playing behind her,
Another day in this carnival of souls
Another night settles in as quickly as it goes
The memories of shadows, ink on the page
And I can't seem to find my way home
She drew in a deep breath and began the next note,
And it's almost like
Your heaven's trying everything
Your heaven's trying everything
To keep me out
All the places I've been and things I've seen
A million stories that made up a million shattered dreams
The faces of people I'll never see again
And I can't seem to find my way home
Cause it's almost like
Your heaven's trying everything to break me down
Cause it's almost like
Your heaven's trying everything to keep me out
She opened her eyes only now brave enough to look over the crowd, a few whose jaws were now slack,
Cause it's almost like
Your heaven's trying everything to break me down
Cause it's almost like
Your heaven's trying everything
Your heaven's trying everything to break me down
To break me down
To break me down
Your heaven's trying everything
Your heaven's trying everything to brake me down
Her haunting voice filled the auditorium for the last time as the song ended. To her surprise clapping broke out immediately and people were on their feet, except for Rachel Berry who had her arms folded across her chest looking like a petulant child who had just had her favorite toy taken away from her but no one else seemed to notice,
"Welcome to New Direction." Mr. Schue grinned.
