The main thing on my mind for this week was the election. Brittany was promising pixie sticks to whoever would vote for her. Of course it wasn't the only election this week. My dad's run for Congress was also this week. As much as I didn't want Sue to win, I did know that it was likely no one in Congress would actually support her position. She would like be a failure of a congresswoman. It would also mean that we wouldn't have to deal with her anymore, which was a definite plus. Nevertheless, I didn't want her to win and I was hearing that my dad was the favorite to win. I needed to remember to vote for him.

When we got to Glee, we had to deal with the elephant of Faith accidentally outing Santana. I was pretty sure that it wasn't intentional or malicious on Faith's part. She was just lashing out after Santana's constant bullying of her. I wasn't saying that it justified what she did, but I also didn't think that she deserved to be punished for it. We would have to come up with some kind of solution for it and also a way to help Santana out. I never thought I'd want to help Santana.

I walked into the choir room wearing a red sweater with a black maxi skirt and red flats and a red headband. The first thing that I noticed was that the Troubletones were there. Faith wrote something on the board.

"'I Kissed A Girl'?" Santana asked. "You want us to sing a stupid Katy Perry song?"

"No, the theme is songs by lesbian and bisexual artists." Faith explained. "It will be songs like this one by Melissa Etheridge."

Please baby can't you see my mind's a burning flame
I got razors a rippin' and tearin' and strippin', my heart is getting played
Tonight you told me that you ache for something new
And some other woman's been looking like something that might be good for you

Go on and hold her till the screaming is gone
Go on believe her when she tells you nothing's wrong

But I'm the only one who'll walk across the fire for you
And I'm the only one who drowned in my desire for you
It's only fear that makes you run, the demons that you're hiding from
When all your promises are gone, I'm the only one

Go on and hold her till the screaming is gone
Go on believe her when she tells you nothing's wrong

But I'm the only one who'll walk across the fire for you
And I'm the only one who drowned in my desire for you
It's only fear that makes you run, the demons that you're hiding from
When all your promises are gone, I'm the only one

"That actually wasn't that bad." Santana commented. "You sucked less than usual."

I never thought that I would hear Santana give a compliment. Granted, it was a Santana version of a compliment, but it still counted.

One thing that I needed to work on was in the increasingly unlikely event that I would win was my acceptance speech. I would also have to come up with a song by a lesbian that I wanted to sing. I really didn't know much about lesbian songs since I wasn't into girls myself. The only time I had ever kissed a girl was when I made out with Brittany when I was pretending to be a straight guy and that really didn't even do anything for me. I only liked boys.

Later, I was with Blaine. Speaking of making out, we were doing some of that. It did suck that we really couldn't do much more. I wished that we could like normal couples. I really didn't want to do it like gay couples usually did, so we were probably looking at a year before we could do anything with that.

"So have you thought about what you're going to say when you win?" He asked.

"I'm not going to win." I stated.

"Sure you are." He argued.

"Blaine, you're sweet, but I don't think I can win when Brittany is literally bribing people for their votes." I explained. "I probably should have just let her be my campaign manager and then I wouldn't be in this position. I just need to focus on finding a song to sing this week."

"What about Joan Jett?" He asked me.

"Joan Jett?" I repeated.

"Haven't you seen the Runaways movie?" He responded. I shook my head. "Okay, that's what we're going to do tonight."

I had to admit that watching Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning make out was kind of hot. I never knew that Joan Jett was bisexual and I was usually on that kind of stuff. I did know what song I was going to sing.

I wore a zipped leather jacket with only a bra underneath and black leather pants as I held the microphone out like a rock star.

Midnight getting uptight where are you
You said you'd meet now it's quarter to two
I know I'm hanging but I'm still wanting you

Hey girl, it's a fact they're talking in town
I turn my back and you're messing around
I'm not really jealous don't like looking like a clown

I think of you every night and day
You took my heart and you my pride away-ay-ay-ay-ay

I hate myself for loving
Can't break free from the things that you do
I wanna walk but I run back to you
That's why I hate myself for loving you

Daylight spent the night without you
But I'm but dreaming 'bout the loving you do
I'm over being angry 'bout the hell you put me through

Hey girl, bet you can't treat me right
You just don't know what you was missing last night
I wanna see your face and say "Forget it" just for spite

I think of you every night and day
You took my heart and you my pride away-ay-ay-ay-ay

I hate myself for loving
Can't break free from the things that you do
I wanna walk but I run back to you
That's why I hate myself for loving you
I hate myself for loving
Can't break free from the things that you do
I wanna walk but I run back to you
That's why I hate myself for loving you

I hate myself for loving you
I hate myself for loving you
I hate myself for loving you
I hate myself for loving you
I hate myself for loving you

One thing that I couldn't help but notice was that Santana looked kind of bored and I didn't really like it. Whether she liked it or not, she was out and she needed to deal with it. She would have it easier than when I came out and than what I had to go through right now. People seemed to be more accepting of lesbians than any other kind of LGBT people. It was why people really didn't seem to care about when Faith came out. Of course, she was also outed as pregnant at the same time, so maybe people were more focused on that.

That night, I was out with my family. It was the last night before the election and I wondered if my dad was as nervous as I was. He wouldn't really lose as much as I would from being defeated. There wasn't even a guarantee that Sue would win even if he lost because there were a few other people running.

"So this is the last night before the election." He stated.

"We know, Dad." I remarked. I wasn't sure why he felt like we needed any sort of exposition.

"Well I just wanted you to know what will happen if I win." He said. "We're not going to be moving to Washington. I'll go there and I'll be able to be back on the weekends. Not to mention, none of this would even happen until January."

"Are you going to look into buying a house in Washington?" Lucy asked.

"No." He explained. "This is only a one-year gig for the moment. If I win again next year, we can look into that and that would also be easier because both of you will be in college by that point. Now how about we talk about you're going to be president."

"You know I appreciate all of the enthusiasm about this, but I just don't think I can do any more to get people to vote for me." I explained. "I may be wrong, but I feel like John McCain probably did."

"Well you two need to remember to vote tomorrow." He said.

"You know it's weird that they're holding the school election on the same day as the congressional election." Lucy commented. I was kind of surprised that they had waited so long to do it. I would think it would be earlier in the year.

The next day in Glee, Brittany was singing a song to Santana. It was a pretty strange song choice, but it definitely sounded like something Brittany would sing.

There's a place downtown where the freaks all come around
It's a hole in the wall, it's a dirty free for all

When the dark of the night comes around that's the time
That the animal comes alive looking for something wild
And now we looking like pimps in my gold Trans Am
Got a water bottle full of whiskey in my handbag

Got my drunk text on, I'll regret it in the morn
But tonight I don't give a, I don't give a, I don't give a

There's a place downtown where the freaks all come around
It's a hole in the wall, it's a dirty free for all
And they turn me on when they take it off
When they take it off, everybody take it off
There's a place I know if you're looking for a show
Where they go hardcore and there's glitter on the floor
And they turn me on when they take it off
When they take it off, everybody take it off

Oh, oh, oh, everybody take it off
Oh, oh, oh, everybody take it off
Right now take it off, right now take it off
Right now take it off oh
Right now take it off, right now take it off
Right now take it off everybody take it off

There's a place downtown where the freaks all come around
It's a hole in the wall, it's a dirty free for all
And they turn me on when they take it off
When they take it off, everybody take it off
There's a place I know if you're looking for a show
Where they go hardcore and there's glitter on the floor
And they turn me on when they take it off
When they take it off, everybody take it off

It then came time to vote. I was really nervous. I was with Faith and Rachel. I had just finished voting for my dad, which was a separate ballot.

"I feel like a lamb lining up for the slaughter." I admitted. "I'm not going to win this."

"You don't have anything to be afraid of." Faith said. "Al Gore never won president and he still did great things."

I stepped into the school voting booth. I couldn't even vote for myself, which I thought was a dumb rule. I put the check next to Brittany's name. She was going to win anyway, so I might as well have voted for her.

Later, Faith told that this guy was hassling Santana in the hallway and she was getting all of the girls together to corner him.

"Easy girls, I'm just trying to make her normal." He replied.

"She is normal, you creep." Rachel remarked.

"So you're all just a bunch of dykes." He replied with a smile. "This could get interesting."

"Actually, most of them are straight." Faith pointed out. "But no straight girl would ever go out with a creep like you."

We then all began to sing.

In the day, in the night, say it right, say it all
You either got it or you don't, either stand or you fall
When your will is broken, when it slips from your hand
When there's no time for joking, there's a hole in the plan

Oh you don't mean nothing at all to me
No you don't mean nothing at all to me
But you got what it takes to set me free
Oh you could mean everything to me

I can't say that I'm not lost and at fault
I can't say that I don't love the light and the dark
I can't say that I don't know that I am alive
And I love what I feel I can show you tonight

Oh you don't mean nothing at all to me
No you don't mean nothing at all to me
But you got what it takes to set me free
Oh you could mean everything to me

You don't mean nothing at all
You don't mean nothing at all

That got a lot of applause from the boys, and not just because some of the things that we did could be seen as homoerotic.

"I have great news." Santana stated. "I told my parents last night and they were cool with it. I just need to tell my abuela."

"Excuse me, New Directions and Troubletones singing groups, I need to speak to Miss Kathryn Hummel in my office." Figgins told us. I had a feeling that it wasn't good.

"So why am I here?" I asked nervously. It definitely seemed like I was in trouble for some reason.

"It seems that you have won the position of student council president." He explained. What? "But you are not going to be president because I know that you cheated."

"How do you know people didn't just vote for me?" I challenged.

"Because there are more votes for you than there are students in the entire senior class." He explained.

"Well I didn't stuff the ballot box." I responded.

"Someone did and unless that person comes forward, you will be suspended effective Monday." He stated.

It also turned out that Santana's grandma was not as cool with it as her parents were. It did not go well. It also turned out that Burt had won and was going to be going to Congress. After everything, Santana was ready for her solo.

How, how, how

I can't believe what you said to me last night we were alone
You threw your hands up, baby you gave up, you gave up
I can't believe how you looked at me with your James Dean glossy eyes
In your tight jeans, with your long hair and your cigarette stained lies

Could we fix you if you broke
And is your punchline just a joke

I'll never talk again, oh girl you left me speechless
You've left me speechless, so speechless
And I'll never love again oh girl you left me speechless
You've left me speechless, so speechless

How, how, how, how

And after all the drinks and bars that we've been to
Would you give up, could I give it all up for you
And after all the boys and girls that we've been through
Would you give it up, could you give it all up if I promise girl to you

That I'll never talk again, and I'll never love again
I'll never write a song, won't even sing along
I'll never love again

How, so speechless yeah
You left me speechless, so speechless
Will you ever talk again, oh girl why you so speechless
You've left me speechless, so speechless
Some girls may follow me, but you choose death and company
Why you so speechless oh

Rachel was the one to come forward, meaning that she would be suspended instead. I didn't know why she had even done it. I had accepted defeat. The bigger problem was that she would also be barred from competing in Sectionals, which was a problem because we already didn't have enough people. At least my dad had won.

So Kathryn didn't win the election. Now she has to deal with the guilt that Rachel got suspended because of her. The songs are "I'm the Only One" by Melissa Etheridge, "I Hate Myself For Loving You" by Joan Jett, "Take It Off" by Kesha, "Say It Right" by Nelly Furtado, and "Speechless" by Lady Gaga. Please don't forget to review.
