Turn Up The Music Chapter 3, a glee fanfic

We still needed two more members, but right now I needed to prepare for my date. It wasn't going to be first date ever, but I was still nervous because I actually didn't know where we were going, so I didn't know how to dress. I should probably wear a dress. I decided to wear the blue one that I bought the other day. I wished that I had his number so I could call him. Maybe I should just get the numbers of everyone in the Glee Club in case I need to talk to them about anything. A little before 6:00, the doorbell rang. He was punctual. I just needed to find the right pair of shoes and then I would be ready.

After a few minutes, I headed downstairs in a pair of blue heels. I saw that he was talking to my Mom.

"So where are we going?" I asked him.

"I wanted to get some dinner and then we can go to the football game." He replied.

"You didn't really strike me as the type to like football." I admitted.

"I love football, especially the Jaguars." He explained. The Jaguars used to be in Florida, but they moved to London in 2020. "So do you like pizza?"

"Yes I do." I responded.

We ended up going to this place called Old Chicago, which served Chicago-style pizza. It was actually really good. We talked a little about some stuff. Apparently, he wanted to be on Broadway or West End. His parents moved here when he was a kid. He didn't really have a good relationship with his parents like I have with my mom. We didn't really go into a lot of the details, because I didn't need to learn everything about him on the first date.

We headed to the game and I saw Jordan in her uniform on the sideline. I waved at her and she looked like she was about to come over before Lexi called her over to the sidelines. I guess the game was about to start. I decided it would be good to take a seat and I noticed Marissa in the crowd.

"Hey." I greeted her.

"That's a really cute dress that you have." Marissa told me. "It makes you look sexy."

"I think so, too." Edmund said with a laugh. He then held his hand out. "So we haven't officially met. I'm Edmund Sawyer."

"Marissa Nelson." The blonde said as she shook his hand. "So are you two on a date or something?"

"Yes." I answered. She seemed disappointed by that. Maybe she thought he was cute too. We won the game. I could tell that our quarterback, Thomas Williams was pretty good.

On Monday at school, I was looking for Jordan when I heard someone singing.

Here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
But I've made up my mind, I aint wasting no time
Here I go again

"You know you're a pretty good singer." I told him. He had shaggy brown hair and was wearing a V-neck tee with a leather jacket and jeans. I kind of felt like I had seen him somewhere before. "I'm Beth."

"Thanks and I'm Dean." He responded.

"You should audition for the Glee Club." I suggested. It was at that time that Jordan came over to me. "Well I gotta go. Think about it."

"How was your weekend?" She asked me.

"I didn't do anything really exciting except for my date with Edmund." I explained. "I realized that I need your number."

We then touched our phones together and the numbers were stored.

"So Lexi said that she talked to her boyfriend and said that he might be interested in joining the Glee Club." She explained.

"That's great because if that guy I was talking to joins, we'll have 12 members." I remarked. "So maybe we should sing something together sometime."

"Well we have a little bit of time before class starts. Wanna go to choir room?" She asked me. We went in their because my mom said it was open for us to practice anytime as long as we weren't skipping class. I was leading off.

There's a humming in the restless summer air
And we're slipping off the course that we prepared
But in all chaos there is calculation
Dropping glasses just to hear them break
You've been drinking like the world was gonna end,
Took a shiner from the fist of your best friend
It's clear that someone's gotta go
We mean it, but we promise we're not mean

And the cry goes out
They lose their minds for us
And how it plays out
Now we're in the ring
And we're coming for blood

You can try to take us, but we're the gladiators
Everyone a rager, but secretly they're saviors
Glory and gore go hand and hand, that's why we're making headlines
You can try to take us, but victory's contagious

No one round's good at keeping their eyes closed
The sun's starting to light up when we're walking home
Tired little laughs, gold life promises, we'll always win at this
I don't ever think about it, it's alright if you do it's fine
We gladiate but I guess we're really fighting ourselves
Roughing up our minds so we're ready when the kill time comes
Wide awake in bed, words in my brain,"Secretly you love this
Do you even wanna go free?" Let me in the ring, I'll show you what that big word means

At that point, Liam walked into the choir room.

"Oh, I didn't think anyone would be here." I noticed that he had his hat off. He quickly put it back on. That was when I noticed something sticking out of his ears.

"What is that?" Jordan asked, probably a little bit tactlessly.

"They're my hearing aids." Liam explained. "I had an accident when I was a kid and was deafened by it."

"You know there's probably a surgery to fix that." I remarked.

"There is but my family can't afford it." Liam explained. "I'm used to them. Maybe someday I can get the surgery. I want to thank you two for not freaking out."

At that point, the warning bell rang. We needed to get to class.

In Glee Club, I noticed that Lexi was standing by the black guy that I previously saw her kiss. You know I think that was the quarterback.

"Everybody, this is my boyfriend Thomas." She introduced. "He's a great singer."

"You should let him sing for himself, Lexi." Mom instructed.

When you feel it in your body you found somebody who
Makes you change your ways like hanging with your crew
Said you act like you're ready but you don't really know
And everything in your past you wanna let it go

I've been there, done it, bumped around
After all that this is what I found
Nobody wants to be alone
If you're touched by the words of the song then baby

U got it, u got it bad when you're on the phone hang up and you call right back
U got it, u got it bad when you miss a day without your friend your whole life's off-track
You know u got it bad when you're stuck in the house you don't wanna have fun
It's all you think about
U got it bad when you're out with someone but you keep on thinking about somebody else
U got it bad

"That was good, Thomas." Mom declared. Dean also auditioned and he too made the club. Now there were enough of us for the competition.

As we were leaving, I noticed Lexi stood up on a chair. It certainly got everyone's attention.

"I need everyone's attention." She declared. "I just want to say that everyone here is invited to a party at my house tonight."

I realized that I would probably need to convince my mom to let me go. I decided to stay in the room and talk to her before I left to go to my ballet class. Everyone else was gone.

"I know that you probably don't want me to go." I stated. "But this will be a great chance for all of us to bond."

"I know how those parties can get and there'll probably alcohol there." Mom explained.

"Then I won't drink." I argued. "In the off-chance that I do, I'll spend the night. Please mom, please let me go."

"Fine, but I want you home by 11:00." She compromised.

"Thank you." I told her before I gave her a hug. I then headed out the door so I could go to my class.

I headed to the studio and got there just before Madame Chang did. I got changed quickly before going to see Edmund.

I decided that I would it would be best if Edmund and I went to the party together since we were a couple. There was a good deal of alcohol there.

"I'll go get us some drinks." He volunteered.

"I promised my mom I wouldn't drink. Just get me a soda." I told him as he walked off. It was at that point that Whiskey came up to me. I decided to talk to him.

"So that thing about my parents being drug addicts, could you not tell anyone?" He requested. "I was nervous and just blurted it out."

"Sure." I agreed. At that point, I saw Jordan with a drink in her hand. "I won't tell."

"This is my second one." She replied. "Are you gonna have any?"

"I said that I wouldn't." I responded.

"Everyone it's time for spin the bottle!" Lexi announced. "Sit in a circle and we'll take turns spinning. Who it lands on is who you have to kiss no matter they're a boy or girl. I will go first."

Lexi spun the bottle and it landed on Liam. He blushed before she gave him a kiss on the lips. He blushed even more when she pulled away. She then handed the bottle to Craig who spun it and had it land on Dean.

"Okay, boys make it hot." Lexi ordered as I took a sip from my Pepsi.

The two of them didn't make out, which was disappointing, but they did kiss. I don't think the other guys really liked it that much, but they did seem to like it when I had to kiss Jaque, who seemed kind of into it to be honest. Maybe it was the alcohol. It kind of sucked that everyone was drinking but me, but I made a promise and I didn't like to break them. Actually, I don't think Lexi was drinking. I don't know if there's some unwritten rule that the host doesn't drink or something. Whatever her reasons, I was pretty sure that she was the only ones that were sober.

"You know you have really pretty hair." Marissa told me as she started to pet me. I guess she was the kind of touchy-feely drunk. It was at that point that noticed that Kayleigh had a microphone. This looks like it could be bad. The fact that she had stripped to her underwear, which consisted of a black bra and boyshorts, only added to that. She began to sing.

You don't know that I know, you want me every night
And I just can't resist the urge to stand here in the light
Your greedy eyes upon me and then I come undone
And I could close the curtain but this is too much

I get off on you, getting off on me
Give you what you want, but nothing is for free
It's all give and take, count on love we make
When your line is crossed I get off
I get off

But you don't know what you can see
What I do for you what I do for me
I get off on you, getting off on me
Give you what you want

I get off on you, getting off on me
Give you what you want, but nothing is for free
It's all give and take, count on love we make
When your line is crossed I get off
Oh yeah I get off, I get off, yeah I get off

Okay, she just sang a song about masturbating. At least she didn't start masturbating in front of everyone. I decided to find Edmund and talk to him. He was in the kitchen. I got closer and noticed that tears were coming from his eyes.

"Are you crying?" I asked him in concern.

"My parents never wanted me. They still don't want me. They don't care if I come home." He wept. "They just think that I'm a mistake."

"You're not a mistake." I told him as I gave him a kiss. I don't know if he would remember this, but I would. "I'm gonna go see if Jordan needs a ride home."

I decided to go find Jordan who seemed to be dancing. She looked pretty happy right now.

"Do you need a ride home?" I asked her.

"No, I'm gonna spend the night here." Jordan told me. "You should really have something to drink. It's a lot of fun like this."

"I told my mom that I wouldn't. I really need to get go." I told her. "Have fun and be safe."

I walked over to the door and I noticed that Marissa was throwing up. I decided to grab her and take her home. I hoped that she would have her key so I could get her into her house. Now that I think about it, having a party like this on a school night is probably a bad idea. I helped her into my car, hoping she wouldn't start puking again.

"Hey, Marissa where do you live?" I questioned after realizing that I didn't know.

"I live…I live…I live in a house." Marissa slurred.

"Where is this house?" I questioned.

"I dunno." Marissa answered. "You are such a sexy girl. I just want to kiss you."

Okay she was really drunk. I sighed. I don't know if I could get an answer out of her. I decided to just take to my house and let her sleep over. I pulled into my house and that was when she kissed me.

So this is the first chapter to feature everybody in some way. Beth may have just found herself in the middle of a love triangle. What is she going to do? Thed songs in this chapter are "Here I Go Again" by Whitesnake, "Glory and Gore" by Lorde, "U Got It Bad" by Usher and "I Get Off" by Halestorm. The next chapter is Miley week. I'd like everyone to give me one Miley or Hannah Montana song they'd like to sing except Jordan who will be singing "Wrecking Ball" and some of them will appear. Please don't forget to review.
