Chapter 5
Mike was backstage getting ready for regionals. Matt came backstage to give Mike support even though he wasn't supposed to, he was supposed to be getting ready with Vocal Adrenaline. He snuck up behind Mike, hugged him and smiled. He helped Mike fix his tie and looked at him
"You ready to do this" Matt said
"More than ever" Mike said
Matt kissed his boyfriend and smiled.
"You'll do great Mike Chang" he said before leaving
Mike saw Matt leave and smiled
"And now are first performance of the night from Lima Ohio, please welcome The New Directions" the announcer said
Mike
I'm wide awake
Yeah, I was in the dark
I was falling hard
With an open heart
I'm wide awake
How did I read the stars so wrong?
I'm wide awake
And now it's clear to me
That everything you see
Ain't always what it seems
I'm wide awake
Yeah, I was dreaming for so long
I wish I knew then
Wat I know now
Wouldn't dive in
Wouldn't bow down
Gravity hurts
You made it so sweet
Till I woke up on
On the concrete
Falling from cloud nine
Crashing from the high
I'm letting go tonight
Yeah, I'm) falling from cloud nine
(I'm wide awake)
Not losing any sleep
I picked up every piece
And landed on my feet
(I'm wide awake)
Need nothing to complete myself (No...)
Oh
I'm wide awake
Yeah, I am born again
Out of the lion's den
I don't have to pretend
And it's too late
The story's over now, the end, yeah
I wish I knew then
What I know now
Wouldn't dive in
Wouldn't bow down
Gravity hurts
You made it so sweet
Till I woke up on
On the concrete
Falling from cloud nine Crashing from the high
I'm letting go tonight
Yeah, I'm falling from cloud nine
I'm wide awake! (
I'm wide awake!
I'm wide awake! Hold on
I'm wide awake!
I'm wide awake!
But I'm not (blind anymore)
[Jake and Tina:]
I'm wide awake!
I'm falling from cloud nine
Crashing from the high
You know I'm letting go tonight
I'm falling from cloud nine
I'm wide awake
Puck, Finn, Artie, and Mike stood center stage and smiled.
Beth I hear you calling
But I can't come home right now
Me and the boys are playing
And we just can't find the sound
Just a few more hours
And I'll be right home to you
I think I hear them calling
Oh Beth what can I do
Beth what can I do
You say you feel so empty
That our house just ain't our home
I'm always somewhere else
And you're always there alone
Just a few more hours
And I'll be right home to you
I think I hear them calling
Oh Beth what can I do
Beth what can I do
Beth I know you're lonely
And I hope you'll be alright
'Cause me and the boys will be playing all night
Mike
Rachel
All
Mike and Rachel
If you wake up and don't want to smile,
If it takes just a little while,
Open your eyes and look at the day,
You'll see things in a different way.
Don't stop, thinking about tomorrow,
Don't stop, it'll soon be here,
It'll be, better than before,
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone.
Why not think about times to come,
And not about the things that you've done,
If your life was bad to you,
Just think what tomorrow will do.
Don't stop, thinking about tomorrow,
Don't stop, it'll soon be here,
It'll be, better than before,
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone.
All I want is to see you smile,
If it takes just a little while,
I know you don't believe that it's true,
I never meant any harm to you.
Don't stop, thinking about tomorrow,
Don't stop, it'll soon be here,
It'll be, better than before,
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone.
Don't you look back,
Don't you look back.
The group smiled and cheered once they were done. They went into the choir room and Rachel rolled her eyes as Mike went backstage. He saw what he was looking for and looked at Matt.
"Good luck out their tiger" Mike said
"Thanks and you were amazing" Matt said
"Good luck kiss" Mike said
Matt bent down and kissed the dancing Asian. Mike sat next to Tina and watched Vocal Adrenline. After the winners were annocuned Matt hugged Mike
"Congrats" Matt said
"Thanks you guys did amazing to" Mike said
The couple walked out smiling. They didnt know what lies a head
