Review.

Tanner glared angrily around the room, but she ignored any attempts to include her. Her phone kept buzzing which received a glare from Rachel and Mr. Schue. She would quickly type out a response and close the sliding phone. However, soon it would be buzzing again for her to answer the text. Keith laid on the bench working on some Math homework listening to his I-pod.

"Tanner, can you sing us a song?" Mr. Schue asked the glaring teenager.

"What's the point? I'm only here because this school has a fucked up social hierarchy so it makes it okay for me to be slushied in the fucking face." Tanner said her eyes not leaving the phone once.

"Tanner, STAND UP, and sing us a song or you'll get suspended. I know that you want to get into NYU. So, you do not want that on your record."

"FINE." She walked over to the piano man and told him her song selection. The music was sharp and angry. She stood in front of the members of Glee with her head high.

Every time we lie awake

After every hit we take

Every feeling that I get

But I haven't missed you yet

Every roommate kept awake

The mouth's in the room dropped as a husky, dark voice came out of her small body. It wasn't smooth and high like Rachel's, but husky and sexy.

By every sigh and scream we make

All the feelings that I get

But I still don't miss you yet

Only when I stop to think about it

Her dark swept the room. She walked around the students. Her volume would go up and down depending on the note.

I hate everything about you

Why do I love you

I hate everything about you

Why do I love you

Kurt started a slow clap and everyone followed soon after. "I hate this place." Tanner said grabbing her bag and leaving. Her brother gathered his things, looked straight at Rachel, winked, and followed.

"Did that green giant just wink at Psycho?" Mercedes asked her mouth wide opened. Finn glared at the younger boy. Who does he think he is? Tina and Artie glanced at each other and nodded. Everything was going to be alright. Santana and Brittany were following the younger boy with their eyes. Brittany licked her lips.

"Well, I'll talk to her tomorrow." Mr. Schue said. "Let us run through Don't Stop Believin' and then I'll you go." After practice, Puck bolted out the door. He had a cougar waiting for him but he slowed down when he saw her. Tanner was sitting on the back of Ford Escort that was bright red. Her brother was sitting next to her. She had her phone out and it was on speaker.

"DAD. How can they believe her? Haven't they seen the evidence we've been collecting?" Tanner softly stated. She was getting tired of this fight. Even after she could leave, Keith couldn't for another year.

"Baby, I don't know. I really don't know. The lawyer is trying his best, but he doesn't think anything will happen until next year at least."

"We hate it here! Bunch of dumb hicks. I got slushied today. They threw a slushied in my face. Apparently this is a stupid ritual for them. Then I got punished for hitting the guy in the nose."

"Dad, please." Keith pleaded. "Randy's getting worse. I think he stopped taking his medicine."

"Did he hit you?" Their dad sounded in pain.

"No, but I can't take it anymore."

"I'm looking for a job out there."

"DAD. NO. Either we're coming home legally or illegally. Tell your fucking lawyer he has till summer or else."

"Tanny, don't swear. I'll call you tomorrow. Did you book your flights for turkey day?"

"yeah, daddy."

"Good. We miss you. The kids miss you. Lub."

"Lub." They said together. Tanner laid her head on Keith's shoulder with tears falling down her face. "This place blows more than…."

"A hooker on a good day." Keith finished with a laugh. Tanner started to laugh and jumped down. "Hungry?"

"McDonalds?!" He asked with the hopeful look of a teenage boy. "Sure. If this Podunk town has one."

"Sweeeet…" She was opening the door when she saw Puck listening to their conversation.

"Mind your own business." She mumbled ashamed he overhead her conversation. Keith glared at him as he folded his long frame into the small car. Finn came out a minute later and saw that Puck was standing there looking confused.\

"Dude, I thought you would be at the cougar's by now?" He asked slapping Puck's back.

"Got distracted. I'm out." Puck said, but he didn't go to the cougars but home. He took the long way home and saw the red Ford Escort three driveways down from his. He saw Tanner get slap upside the head by an older man and then he pushed Keith into the house as Keith vainly tried to shove the last of his fries into his mouth. The carton fries were slapped out of his hands. He heard Keith's mournful, "nooo."

"Noahhhh!!!!" Nina screamed when she saw her brother home early for once. He picked her up and threw her in the air. "Sup, midget?"

"You're home early." She held onto him with all her might. "Mommy's sleeping and I'm hungry."

"Fine. I guess I'll make you some cereal." He said sighing. "NOOOOO… I want pancakes."

"FINEEEE…. Just this time though. Its cereal for the rest of the week." He sees his mom passed out on the coach after working three night shifts in a row. He sighed. Another day in Puck's life.

"Nina?"

"What?"

"Midget."

"Freak."

"Shrimp."

"Monster freak."

"……"

"I win again." Nina smirked and went to do her homework. Noah smiled and went to the kitchen to start cooking.

The Next Day

"She's a freak." Santana told Puck as he was trying to open his locker.

"You don't even know her." He replied. He saw Tanner down the hallway. She was wearing yoga pants and a Blue October hoodie. The slip on red shoes hit her heels with every step she took. She stopped in front of Santana.

"Would you so kindly get out of the way?" She asked rolling her eyes.

"no." Santana grinned with triumph.

"Okay." Tanner said and physically pushed her out of the way with her shoulders squeezing between Puck and Santana. "Thanks."
