Author's Note: I do not own Glee so please don't sue me. I also did not come up with Charlie, the credit goes to genius who came up with the idea on Tumblr. Please review.

** I highly suggest you watch this video of this song that Charlie sings in this chapter . I will post the name and artist at the end of the chapter, so not to spoil it. Please watch it is a beautiful song that is very moving, and the video is just as, if not more, moving.


On their way to the library Rachel asked Charlie, "So what kind of music do you listen to?"

"Is their a point to the question?" Charlie asked supicously.

"It's so I can help you with your song selection." Rachel smiled proudly

"Oh well in that case. All kinds, but especially: Far East Movement, Cascada, Tegan & Sara, Train, The Fray, Snow Patrol, MCR, P!nk, Queen, the Beatles, and Hall & Oates."

"That is quite a varied list, but an impressive one." Rachel laughed.

Rachel suddenly stopped walking, "What's wrong Rach?"

"I think I know the perfect song for you to sing." Rachel smiled, and then starting running towards the library.

"Are you going to tell me?" Charlie asked trying to keep pace with the tiny brunette.

Rachel smirked, "No, I am going to show you." She said when they got there.

"Show me?"

"Yes, via Youtube." Rachel sad as she sat down in front of a computer.

"May I inquire, why?"

"The music video is amazing that's why. And has anyone told you that you ask a lot of questions."

"Yeah. " Charlie laughed.

"This is it." Rachel said before she pressed play. By the end of the video Charlie was in tears and speechless. "I told you that the music video was amazing." Charlie nodded as she wiped her tears away.


Mr. Schuester Walked into to find that everyone was there, including Charlie. "Okay guys," He said enthusiastically as he clapped his hands together "Today we have someone knew trying out for Glee club." As he said this numerous people looked around the room, seeing if anyone they didn't recognize was there. "Okay Charlie your up." When Quinn heard this she was absolutely shocked. She didn't mind having Charlie in Glee club, but Charlie didn't even tell her that she was going to join, so she felt a bit betrayed. She watch her sister hand the Jazz band's guitarist the music, and then sit on a stool in the middle of the room.

There ain't no reason things are this way

Its how they've always been and they intend to stay

I cant' explain why we live this way, we do it everyday

Preachers on the podium speakin' of saints in séance

Prophets on the sidewalk beggin' for change

Old ladies laughing from the fire escape, cursing my name

I got a basket full of lemons and they all taste the same

A window with a pigeon with a broken wing

You can spend your whole life workin' for something

Just to have it taken away

People walk around pushing back their debts

Wearing pay checks like necklaces and bracelets

Talking 'bout nothing, not think 'bout death

Every little heartbeat, every little breathe

People walk a tightrope with a razors edge

Carrying their hurt and hatred and weapons

It could be a bomb or a bullet or a pen

Or a thought or a word or sentence

There ain't no reason things are this way

Its how they've always been and they intend to stay

I don't know why I say the things I say, but I say them anyway

But love will come set me free

Love will come set me free, I do believe

Love will come set me free, I know it will

Love will come set me free, yes

Prisons walls still standing tall

Some thing never change at all

Keep on buildin' prisons, gonna fill them all

Keep on buildin' bombs, gonna drop them all

Working your fingers bear to the bone

Breaking your back, make you sell your soul

Like a lung that's filled with coal, suffocatin' slow

The wind blows wild and I may move

The politicians lie and I am not fooled

You don't need no reason nor a three piece suit to argue the truth

The air on my skin and the world under my toes

Chaos and commotion follow wherever I go, love I try to follow

Love will come set me free, I do believe

Love will come set me free, I know it will

Love will come set me free, yes

There ain't no reason things are this way

Its how they've always been and they intend to stay

I can't explain why we live this way, we do it everyday.

Charlie's voice was the same as Quinn's, it was soft, beautiful, and pure, but what made this different than Quinn when she sang was that Charlie had invested her soul into the song, to make up for the lack of dancing. It was more than enough to bring the entire Glee cub to tears, even Mr. Schue had tears streaming down his cheeks. The lyrics portrayed Charlie's connection with the Glee club, because of Hung-over-Hudson (aka Finn the asshole) initially, but it also showed that Charlie wanted to change that and move on and become really good friends with them.

"Congratulations Charlie you are now officially part of the Glee club." Mr. Schuester said this as wiped the tears from his eyes.

The drive home was awkward to say the least. "Why didn't you tell me you were going to join the Glee club?" Quinn asked looking betrayed.

"Yeah,, sorry about that. I couldn't find you to tell you. And besides it all happened rather quickly."

"What do you mean?" Quinn asked suspiciously. So Charlie told her about the incident with crazy Rebecca.

"Do you understand why I didn't tell you?" Charlie asked hesitantly.

"Yeah I do. Sorry about going off on you." Quinn gave an apologetic smile as she said this.

"It's cool. So are you okay with sharing with our lives over lapping a bit?"

"Totally." Quinn said as she pulled into the driveway. "Oh and you totally nailed it today with that song."

"I know." Charlie grinned, while Quinn just rolled her eyes at her somewhat self-absorbed sister.
