Whats up guys? So when I first started writing this I was basically listening to songs on my ipod, and I remember listening to the songs that appear in this chapter and thinking they'd be great for the warblers. Glee then performed Some Nights but...well we'll pretend they didn't ok? Also this is set Season four time but with different events because I started thinking about all this before season four came out...which shows how slow I am seeing as its now finished. Marley didn't pass out on the stage.
By the way, normal print means everyone including warblers singing and singing the instrument parts is singing the line, italics means its Sammy, bold means Blaine, and bold italics means both of them.
I stood behind the auditorium curtains, straightening my tie nervously. I took deep breaths in but couldn't seem to get them out.
"You look nervous," said Blaine. I jumped – I didn't notice he was there.
"Oh, yeah, I am a bit."
"Don't worry you'll be fine, we'll be fine. No, we'll be great!"
I gave a weak smile.
"Sam...listen-" Blaine began but he was interrupted.
"So get ready to give it up for Dalton Academy's Warblerrrrrrrrrrrrs!" called the judge. The audience began to cheer and I pushed Blaine into his position, much to his frustration. The curtains drew back and we stood, heads down, hands clasped.
All together we lifted our heads and sang.
"Some nights I stay up cashing in my bad luck, some nights I call it a draw. Some nights I wish that my lips could build a castle, some nights I wish they'd just fall off"
Some of the warblers started to hum the piano chords. "But I still wake up, I still see your ghost. Oh, Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for oh. Whoa Whoa oh oh"
Blaine walked towards the audience. "What do I stand for?"
"Whoa oh oh."
"What do I stand for?"
Nervously I walked forwards to stand by Blaine as I sang my line. "Most nights I don't know anymore."
We all started clapping now as we sang "Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh."
I turned to the warblers. "This is it, boys, this is war - what are we waiting for? Why don't we break the rules already?"
In unison me and Blaine sang. "I was never one to believe the hype. Save that for the black and white, I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked, but here they come again to jack my style."
Blaine turned to me smiling, that cute adorable smile he had. "That's alright." I returned the smile and replied "That's alright."
"I found a martyr in my bed tonight, she stops my bones from wondering just who I am, who I am, who I am. Oh, who am I? Mmm, mmm."
We then rang back to the warblers so we could all sing together. At this point the audience were off their feet and dancing and clapping along. "Well, some nights I wish that this all would end, cause I could use some friends for a change. And some nights I'm scared you'll forget me again."
Blaine and I sang "Some nights I always win, I always win." in harmony.
"But I still wake up, I still see your ghost. Oh, Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for oh. Whoa oh oh."
"What do I stand for?"
"Whoa oh oh."
"What do I stand for?"
"Most nights I don't know...oh, come on."
I looked at Blaine as I sang my line, thinking about how much my heart aches for him. "My heart is breaking for my sister and the con that she call love. When I look into my nephew's eyes. Man you wouldn't believe the most amazing things that can come from-"
He looked me right back in the eyes as we sang in unison. "Some terrible nights."
"Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh."
Blaine started walking towards me. "The other night you wouldn't believe the dream I just had about you and me. I called you up but we'd both agree-"
I started to walk away "It's for the best you didn't listen. It's for the best we get our distance, oh."
We both joined the warblers so we called all sing the last line with no warblers singing the instruments. "Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh."
We bowed our heads and the audience cheered. I couldn't help but smile. But it wasn't over yet.
The lights rose again and some warblers walked forward. They were singing the drum beats and the harmonious "ooohs" at the start of The Kids from Yesterday.
Blaine stood at the back but risen up by a platform. "Well now this could be the last of all the rides we take, so hold on tight and don't look back."
I joined him as we sang in harmony. "We don't care about the message or the rules they make. We'll find you when the sun goes black."
"And you only live forever in the lights you make, when we were young we used to say."
"That you only hear the music when your heart begins to break,"
"Now we are the kids from yesterday."
"Today, today. We are the kids from yesterday. Today, today."
Then I began to sang "Here we are and we won't stop breathing. Yell it out 'till your heart stops beating," as Blaine was singing "Today. Today."
We looked each other in the eyes smiling. "We are the kids from yesterday, today."
We sang the chorus like we did before, except Blaine looked me right in the eyes as we sang "You only hear the music when your heart begins to break"as if his heart was actually breaking. I nearly choked.
All the warblers joined in to sing the last line in unison. "We are the kids from yesterday."
The audience went wild and we all bowed and smiled and rushed off stage. Back stage we were all high fiving and me and Blaine shared a hug that lasted a few seconds longer than it probably should have. We broke apart smiling and I looked up at Blaine. I gave him a kiss on the cheek which made him smile even wider but I stepped away quickly and ran to congratulate the other Warblers. Blaine started to walk over when a crowd of people came over.
"Blaine congratulations! That was great!" I looked around to see who it was. It was a bunch of kids from the group who were before us, the New Directions. The person who I assumed was their teacher gave him a pat on his back.
"Aw thanks guys. So were you! You really rocked it out there!" And they certainly did. They had this sort of...energy that was infectious and you felt like you were part of them, having fun with them. I was certain they would win.
"Yeah Blaine, I wish you could join us. We could really use your voice..." hinted a tall handsome boy. Blaine turned to him and smiled, "Thanks Finn but no thanks. There's too many memories there." Blaine paused and frowned. "What are you still doing here anyway?"
Finn laughed "I'm coaching the New Directions while Mr Schue here," he pointed at the teacher guy, "goes off to Washington."
Blaine looked a little puzzled but didn't say anymore as one of the girls noticed I was watching -a tall brunette girl - and she turned and said smiling at me, "You were awesome too. I'm Marley."
"Sam," I smiled back. The whole group turned to look at me, not in a hostile way.
One of the blonde girls then said something that made my heart stop. "Hey I didn't know they let girls in the Warblers?" My jaw dropped and I froze.
Blaine laughed "Brittany, Sam's not a girl." He turned to look at me apologetic.
The Brittany girl looked like she was going to say more so I said quickly, "No, I just have, er, a feminine voice and face..." I trailed off awkwardly and everyone else looked awkward too. Finn was looking at me with this small smirk...as if he knew something no one else didn't. I dreaded that he realised what Brittany had realised too.
The stage manager came round to tell us to get in our places as the judges were ready to announce the winners. Both teams wished the other luck as we separated.
The curtains opened and the judges walked on. The audience screamed like crazy as the announced another group third place. Then it was the moment we waited for.
"And in second place..." My breath caught in my throat and I grabbed onto Blaine's arm. He looked down at my hand smiling to himself. It was so incredibly sexy but I couldn't think about that at the moment.
"The Dalton Academy Warblers and in first place the New Directions!" There were screams beside us and after a few seconds clapping from our group but my heart sank. That was it. We were second. No more Warblers for the year. Well I was sure we'd get together but there would be no more big performances. I held back tears as we shook hands with the New Directions.
Blaine squeezed my shoulder and whispered in my ear "We rocked their socks off. That's all that matters."
And he was right.
Hehehehehehehehe. What will happen to the Warblers? Or, more importantly, to Sammy and Blaine? Well keep reading...I promise I'll update more often. :'(
First song was an edited version of Some Nights by Fun. and the second song was an edited version of The Kids from Yesterday by My Chemical Romance. Give them a listen and imagine the warblers totally rocking it!
