Chapter 4: Beth's Audition For Glee
The Glee Club
Kelly Camden (a freshmen, a shy girl who isn't as social but opens up when she sings. Singing is her passion)
Nickolas Romandetti (the cute male lead, a sophomore, and is very polite; has his eye on Emily)
Michael Jefferson (a sophomore, a nerd who thinks every girl could get with him)
Jessica Nolan (a senior who hates Emily's guts, hates her voice, and hates how she's hogs all the attention)
Thomas McHale (a junior, one of the most powerful voice for Broadway, he is Emily's competition)
Jasmine Lombardi (a senior who is Jessica's best friend, also hates everything about Emily
Lucas Thompson (a senior who is Jasmine's boyfriend. He hates how his girlfriend and her best friend treat Emily)
Brad Dean (a bad-boy motorcycle-tattoo freak who thinks singing is cool but every girl is afraid to get to know him because of his attitude; )
Lauren Evans (a freshman, a chubby girl with red hair with a booming voice, and thinks she's better than everyone else in the group)
Ashley Larsen (a senior, isn't afraid to say what's on her mind, and is consider a total bitch who tries to steal all the solos)
The rest of the weekend Beth searched for songs to audition for Glee. She found the perfect song. She practiced it when she was home alone so her parents wouldn't hear her yet. Once Monday rolled around she explained to Aaron that she was joining, and that he should join too, but she also mentioned the truth she made with Emily. Aaron just nods since he knows he has the voice as well.
Three o'clock came. Mr. Schu was about to write something on the board but was stopped when he saw the least two popular kids of McKinley walking into the choir room.
All eyes were on them.
"Mr. Schu?" Beth says. "I'd like to join Glee Club. Aaron and I would."
Mr. Schu just nods. He was speechless. He sits on one of the chairs and lets Aaron sing a solo. He was good. He reminded Mr. Schu so much of a young Finn Hudson.
Next was Beth. Everyone in the room didn't know what to think. Why was the head cheerio joining Glee Club? Was this really happening?
"Beth Corcoran. I'll be singing For You Will I Will by Monica." Beth says. She takes a deep breath, knowing all eyes were on her. She didn't care. She was doing this.
When you're feeling lost in the night,
When you feel your world just ain't right
Call on me, I will be waiting
Count on me, I will be there
Anytime the times get too tough
Anytime your best ain't enough,
I'll be the one to make it better,
I'll be there to protect you,
See you through,
I'll be there and there is nothing
I won't do.
Beth sang with her eyes closed the whole time, with full of passion. She slowly opens them and looks at Aaron. Aaron nods and smiles to encourage her to go on.
I will cross the ocean for you
I will go and bring you the moon
I will be your hero your strength
Anything you need
I will be the sun in your sky
I will light your way for all time
Promise you,
for you I will
The girls were glaring at Beth. The guys just couldn't take their eyes off of her. Beth was stealing the spotlight of attention.
I will shield your heart from the rain
I will let no harm come your way
Oh these arms will be your shelter
No these arms won't let you down
If there is a mountain to move
I will move that mountain for you
I'm here for you, I'm here forever
I will be your fortress, tall, and strong
I will keep you safe,
I'll stand beside you, right, and wrong.
Beth walks over to Aaron and kisses him. Once again all girls rolled their eyes. Emily just sat there, feeling proud for her sister. Beth stood in front of Aaron for the last verse she was going to sing.
I will cross the ocean for you
I will go and bring you the moon
I will be your hero, your strength
Anything you need
I will be the sun in your sky
I will light your way for all time
Promise you
For you I will
Mr. Schu stood up. He was impressed by Beth Corcoran. He never knew she sang and never in his life would he think she'd be joining Glee Club. All the boys whistled and cheers while the girls remained glaring at the pretty blond.
"That was amazing! Beth, you are fantastic! You and Aaron are both welcomed to the Glee Club."
Aaron and Beth share a passionate kiss.
"Wow! I am still shocked with your performances. Beth, you are really talented. You're good too, Aaron."
Beth smiles. "Thank you, Mr. Schu."
Jessica rolls her eyes and looks over at Emily. "Hey, freak!. It looks like you got yourself another competition here. You should be jealous that your own sister robbed your talent."
Emily ignores Jessica. "Don't let her get to you. You are better than your sister." Nickolas whispers on Emily's ear. Emily blushes.
"Wow!" Mr. Schu shook his head. "The Puckerman sisters got talent."
"Okay, enough with giving the Puckermans all the attention. Can we just get to the lesson?" Jasmine asked.
"Yeah, Mr. Schu. I was supposed to be sharing my solo today." Ashley rolls her eyes.
Mr. Schu nods. "Alright, sorry..." He apologized.
Everyone but Jessica, Jassmine, and Ashley were all welcoming Aaron and Beth into the club but mostly Beth. Jasmine was giving Beth the death glare as she sees Lucas all over Beth as well. Emily just sat there feeling ignored. It was all Emily's fault for making truth with Beth to join Glee Club. Emily wanted to bang her head on the wall for doing something so stupid. Glee is the only place where she can be herself and gets all the attention (most of the time) The whole time as Beth stole the attention Emily couldn't help but think she made the biggest mistake.
Emily Puckerman was jealous.
That night at dinner at the Puckerman's household Rachel and Puck notice how happy Beth has been. She was smiling non-stop while Emily just sat and ate her dinner quietly.
"How was your audition?" Puck asked.
"Oh! I nailed it! Mr. Schu loved it so much and Aaron's as well." Beth smiles.
"What did you sing?" Rachel asked.
"For You I Will by Moncia. I saw some death glares from the girls but that won't get to me."
"The truth is off." Emily whispers.
All eyes are on Emily.
"What are you talking, baby?" Rachel asked.
"The only reason Beth joined is because of me and after today I felt like it's always about Beth! The truth was if she joined I wouldn't rat on her so daddy wouldn't ground her. Oh an also that she'd stop throwing slushies on my face..." Emily blurts out.
Puck raises his eyebrow. "You do what?" Puck asked.
"I throw slushies at her or at least I used to. I'm going to stop now. Glee will make me a better person."
Emily shook her head. "But Glee is my thing!"
Beth rolls her eyes. "You're the one who asked me to join!"
"But I didn't think you'd actually do it!" The girls were bickering across the table.
"Baby, maybe Beth is right. Maybe Glee will make her a better person." Rachel tries to calm her daughter down.
Emily shook her head. "Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Mommy, you're taking her side? I'm your star! Not Beth!" Emily yells.
Rachel shook her head. This wasn't going to be easy. "I'm not choosing sides here. I feel pretty confident that Glee will bring you girls closer together."
"That's right. Glee is something you both can share together." Puck says.
"But Glee is my thing! Singing is my passion. I've been singing since I could walk or talk. Mommy? Daddy? Please don't let Beth take that one thing away from me!" With that Emily storms out crying. Rachel runs after her. Puck looks at Beth who just shrugs her shoulders and smiles.
Emily laid flat on her stomach as she cried on her pillow. She should have never made the truth if she knew this was going to happen. She was the star of the club no matter what anyone says..Now that was all going to be taking away.
Rachel knocks on her daughter's door and walks in. Rachel strokes her daughter's brunette curls. "You will always be my star. Glee will always be your thing." Rachel says.
She sighs as Emily sobs. She can't look at her or speak. Emily was devastated. "Baby? Everything I'm telling you is true. No one can replace my star. You are Broadway material...Beth is not going to take that away."
"But she can take solos away! My solos! It's going to happen. I'm not Mr. Schu's favorite person right now." Emily sobs harder.
"Baby, no..." Rachel shook her head. "Maybe a glass of water could erase your sadness?" Rachel suggests.
Emilly shook her head. She still hasn't looked at her mother. "Baby? Is there anything I can do?"
"There is nothing you can do! It's the biggest mistake I made. It's always been Beth this, Beth that, or oh Beth is so pretty, who's that other girl?" Emily says as she finally looks at her mother with teary eyes. "It's not fair! Mommy, it's so not fair! It's not fair!" Emily buries her face on Rachel's lap and continues to sob.
Rachel didn't know what to say. Her heart crushes into pieces every time her baby girl cries. She rocks her daughter back and forth wishing that she was a baby again. Emily holds on tight since she was sobbing uncontrollably
"Don't tell me not to live,
Just sit and putter
Life's candy and the sun's
A ball of butter
Don't bring a around a cloud
To rain on my Parade!"
She sang softly into her daughter's ear. She knew that whenever Emily was crying like this there was only one thing that would make her stop.
Barbara.
But this time Rachel singing her favorite song didn't help. She continued crying so hard that she couldn't take deep breaths. "Sweetie, take deep breaths. Everything will be okay. Just take deep breaths." Rachel says comforting her daughter as much as she could. Emily did just that. "That's my girl. Beth is not going to ruin Glee for you. Okay, baby?" Rachel says. "Ssh...I won't let that happen, baby girl. I promise." Rachel continued rocking her back and forth and stayed there until her baby fell asleep.
Jealously is never a good sign for Miss. Emily Kate Berry Puckerman.
So yeah I tried creating new kids from The Glee Club but I don't think I'll mainly focus on them...it's just the Puckermans and the girls.
I don't own any of these songs.
Don't Rain on My Parade- Barbara Streisand-Funny Girl
For You I Will- Monica
