Chapter 4
Everyone in glee sat in the multi colored chairs. I walked shyly up to . He turned to me a smile broadening his face. He knew. He handed me a music sheet. I took it with a smile on my heavly glossed lips. I read the top while sitting behind the piano.
'Set The Fire To The Third Bar' by snow patrol
One of my favorite songs. I scan the notes and within minutes im ready to play. Out of the cornor of my eye I see finn smirking in my direction.
" Okay so I was looking through some modern day songs, and I came across this. It shot up at me and then I realized the perfect person to sing it." I watched as rachel perked up and her eyes landed on finn. So she likes him as well? What was so attracting about him? " Finn and Morrie," My head shot up. My mouth gaped. Was he serious? Me? Shit this guys is loosing his marbles.
" M-M-Me?" I stutter. He nods and pulls me to the middle " But – I -" Finn hushes me with a smile. I relax in his eyes. I inhale deeply.
We start to sing.
I find the map and draw a straight line
Over rivers, farms, and state lines
The distance from 'A' to where you'd be
It's only finger-lengths Jobby that I see
I touch the place where I'd find your face
My finger in creases of distant dark places
We start to circle each other like a merry go round. His eyes penetrating mine.
I hang my coat up in the first bar
There is no peace that I've found so far
The laughter penetrates my silence
As drunken men find flaws in science
His arm raps around my waist. My hand makes Its way to his face. I stroke it gentley.
Their words mostly noises
Ghosts with just voices
Your words in my memory
Are like music to me
I can't help but want him closer, like a drug I inhale his aroma. He is a sweet blend of invigorating musk and a hint of spice.
I'm miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
I, I pray that something picks me up
And sets me down in your warm arms
His voice is like a heavenly call. My eyes close and im in a story book. I loose myself in my mind. As the fairytale continues I smile in lust. I start to realize that I long for his warmth. I feel him pull me close to him.
After I have travelled so far
We'd set the fire to the third bar
We'd share each other like an island
Until exhausted, close our eyelids
And dreaming, pick up from
The last place we left off
Your soft skin is weeping
A joy you can't keep in
I'm miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
And I, I pray that something picks me up
and sets me down in your warm arms
I'm miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
and I, I pray that something picks me up
and sets me down in your warm arms
My story of fantasy is closed when the paino halts. As does my voice and his. I open my eyes. I forgot I was here. I forgot about reality. But I never forgot his face. He is still starring down at me smiling. Im like a fragile china doll in the hands of a giant. He holds me gently as he embraces me. My arms wrap around his neck as I try to reach the floor. He places me down with a laugh. I giggle as I walk back to the piano. Mr. Shue and everyone else is still applauding. Everyone except 3 people, quinn , kurt and rachel. I have now crossed there lines. Something I wished I had never done. I looked down. Im disgraceful. Leave it up to me make enemies on the first day.
The bell sounded and I gathered my books up. One more class of the day , photography. I put my ipod in my ears to drown out my retched thoughts of having people hate me. I put the snow patrol on repeat. That song has officially given me the chills. All of a sudden I feel a hand on my shoulder. I jump in fear. A natural reflex when you live with 'HIM'. Kurt jumped back a little when he saw me flinch. His eyes wide with question. I shook my head.
" Im sorry you frightened me for a sec. Whats up?" He smiled to me warmly. Wow. Thats strange I thought he would be pissed.
" I know you like him." He whispered , I giggled to cover up my blush.
" Ha HA HA! Like who?" I said attempting to hide my true feelings.
" Finn." He said as we once again started down the hall. " And its ok. I don't care. I know you know how much I like him. But im going to say this now. Im on your side because A. I hate rachel, B. quinn deserves it for what shes doing to finn." I eyed him skeptically.
" Whats she doing to finn, I mean I know shes you know pregnant and what not but-" He cut me off swiftly.
" But the only problem in there perfect family is finns not the dad." My mouth dropped. So much drama in only mere hours. I starred at him. I was speechless which was not a first. " Don't tell a soul but an inside source told me it was puck." Who the fuck was puck? He must have noticed my confused stature. " The other jock , you know really tall, mohawk-"
" Oh yeah, But aren't they best friends?" He sighed and shook his head. Im taking that as a USED to be good friends. I mouthed the word oh in understanding. But does finn know? Of course not if im being sworn to secrecy. I nod.
" Well we better get to class, im in fashion next door." I smile as we link arms and walk down the rest of the hall.
