Chapter 3:
-Blaine Anderson-
I walked hand-in-hand with Kurt into the choir room. I still wasn't used to McKinley, despite having been here for as long as I had. He smiled at me, and we sat down together. Mr. Schuester took the floor, and began to talk. "Alright guys, since we've decided on the Solo and The Boy and Girl group number, it's time to pick out a full group number." Finn and Rachel sat quietly in the corner, and no one else stood up. "I know what we should do, Mr. Schuester." I said, standing up. Kurt looked up at me, smiling.
"Yes, Blaine?" Mr. Schue. I took the front of the room, and I looked around. "Last year, at Regionals. When Kurt, and I, and the Warblers sang 'Raise Your Glass', it wasn't because it was a famous song. It was the message behind it. Which is why, I think we should sing something that has a good message behind it. Since we probably won't get another shot at original songs, that's all we're gonna have." I smiled, and sat back down. "That sounds like a good idea, Blaine." Mr. Schue said. "Are there any songs anyone could suggest?" Santana raised her hand.
"Yes, Santana?" Mr. Schuester said. "What about that new Lady GaGa song? Born This Way?" Kurt rolled his eyes, and groaned. "What's your problem, Elton John?" Santana said. "Like that isn't gonna make people think that Blaine and I are begging for attention?" Kurt shot back quickly. "Or for that matter, you?" Everyone sat, shocked at Kurt's outburst towards Santana. She stood her ground, and quickly stormed out of the room. Brittney followed, and it was the sobbing that was the loudest. Mr. Schue looked at Kurt, and he opened his mouth to say something, but then the bell rang.
Kurt and I walked out of the classroom. Since it was Friday, neither of us (being seniors) had a seventh period, so we were allowed to leave. He got into the passenger side of my car, and I drove to the local coffee shop. Kurt and I walked inside, and, after ordering and getting our drinks, sat down in our favorite booth. He stared down at his coffee. I reached across the table and grabbed onto his hand. "Are you okay?" I said. He looked up at me, sadness in his eyes. "I didn't mean to say that. I've just been having a really hard time. Karofsky.."
Anger flashed through my body. "WHAT DID KAROFSKY DO?" I almost yelled. Kurt shrunk back, looking a little scared. "He..he..he's threatened me. He said that he wanted me, and if I didn't go to him, then he was going to.." I looked at Kurt, and the word was on his lips. "He said he was going to take me for his own. He said he was going to rape me, Blaine, and I'm scared." "I would never let him do that to you." I said. He looked down, as if he wasn't so sure. And so, I did the only thing I could think of. I started the song on my iPod, and put one of the plugs in my ear, and gave the other to Kurt.

-Finn Hudson-
Kurt wasn't at my car when I got out of football practice, so I just headed home. I went into my room, and my mom yelled upstairs that she had put a letter I had gotten from Rachel on my bed. I found the note, and read Rachel's note.
Dear Finn,
I would really, really enjoy it if you met me at my house as soon as possible.
Love, Rachel
P.S. Don't bring any of those DVDs about eating meat.
I sighed, and I grabbed my hoody, and left. The drive to Rachel's house was long, 20 minutes, because we lived on different sides of town. When I got there, I realized that it was dark, and I had forgotten my keys. It was already Friday, so I doubt my mom would be mad if I just spent the night at Puck's, who lived close. I knocked on Rachel's door, and one of her dads answered. "Finn! Hello!" He said, waving me in. I thought this dad of hers, Leroy, was cooler, because he was into a few sports. "Rachel! My little star! Your beau is here!" Rachel came down the stairs, smiling. "Come up to my room, Finn." She said, and I followed her up the stairs. "So, what's up?" I asked whenever we got onto her bed. "I was thinking..maybe you and I should fight for a duet. I already have one picked out." I looked at Rachel, and sighed. "Rachel, we get everything. Seriously. Except for last year's Sectionals, we were the leads." I looked over to her, and found that she had already started the music. I smiled, when it started, and so I began singing.
I remember what you wore on the first date
You came into my life and I thought
"Hey, you know, this could be something"
'Cause everything you do and words you say
You know that it all takes my breath away
And now I'm left with nothing I sang.
I remember every look upon your face
The way you roll your eyes
The way you taste
You make it hard for breathing
'Cause when I close my eyes and drift away
I think of you and everything's okay
I'm finally now believing Rachel sang in.
Maybe it's true
That I can't live without you
Maybe two is better than one
But there's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking
I can't live without you
'Cause, baby, two is better than one
But there's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
But I'll figure it out
When all is said and done
Two is better than one
Two is better than one Rachel and I sang together.
"Well, maybe, Rachel but I doubt that anyone's gonna take the solo away from Tina. I don't know what we can even do." Rachel sighed loudly, but there wasn't anything for us to do.
-Sam Evans- Some say he was a good man
I grabbed my guitar and began, with Artie, Puck, and Mike having my back.
Well I see him on the TV
Preachin' 'bout the promise lands
He tells me believe in Jesus
Steals the money from my hands
Lord I think he sinned, yeah
Twenty-two years of mental tears Their bullets took his best friend in Saigon He cried "Forgive me for what I've done there
Cries a suicidal Vietnam vet
Who fought a losing war on a foreign shore
To find his country didn't want him back
Our lawyers took his wife and kids, no regrets
In a time I don't remember
In a war he can't forget
Cause I never meant the things I did"
And give me something to believe in My best friend died a lonely man I tried all night not to break down and cry And the mirror, mirror on the wall
If there's a Lord above
And give me something to believe in
Oh, Lord arise
In some Palm Springs hotel room
I got the call last Christmas Eve
And they told me the news
As the tears rolled down my face
I felt so cold and empty
Like a lost soul out of place
Sees my smile it fades again
You take the high road Yes Sometimes I wish I didn't know now And give me something to believe in, yeah
And I'll take the low road
The things I didn't know then
The crowd cheered. The four of us weren't a band, at least not yet. We all just performed together. Charlie, the manager, came up, and offered us imbursement. Puck refused it. "No, we'll get out ameteur status taken away. That almost happened 2 years ago." "Hell, I do it for the fun." I said. After we left, I headed to Santana's. I knocked on the door, and she answered. "What, Sam?" She said. "Um, I can't come to my girlfriend's?" I said. "No, Sam, I've realized...all I want to be is...a lesbian." I was shocked, and I walked away. I turned at her driveway. "You'll regret this!" I yelled. Then I got in my car and left.
