Finn was sitting in his office working on some papers, when he heard a knock on his office door. He looked up and saw it was Jude; he was expecting him to come in because he asked to speak with after what he said on Friday.

"Come in Jude." Finn said and Jude gave a firm nod as he shifted the door open more and walked further into Finn's office and took a seat that was in front of his desk. "So, I think you know why I called you here." Finn said and Jude nodded.

"It's about the play and Glee Club. I know." Jude said and Finn nodded.

"I don't understand why you want to give up your part in the play. And I also don't understand why you would want to quit Glee Club." Finn said and Jude sighed.

"I don't want to quit. Either of them." Jude admitted. "I love being in Glee Club and I really wanted to be in the play. I thought it would be fun."

"Then why—" Finn tried to ask.

"My parents. They don't want me to do the play or be in the club. They say it's too dangerous." Jude said, sort of mumbling the last part. Finn didn't understand what he meant by dangerous. What was dangerous about being in the Glee Club or about being in the school play?

"What do you mean, Jude?" Finn asked and Jude looked around at first, but then shrugged. Finn knew that Jude wasn't telling him everything, but he also knew he couldn't force him to say anything.

"I don't know." Jude lied. Finn could tell by the way Jude looked, but he left it alone. Finn sighed. "Can I go now?" Finn nodded and Jude got up and left the room. When he got out into the hallway, he saw Rose was out there waiting for him. He smiled when he saw her and she started to walk right beside him.

"So… your parents are making you quit?" Rose asked and Jude turned to her, somehow she must have been listening in. "I heard."

"Yeah." Jude said, nodding. "Sometimes, they can be really unfair, and this is one of those times."

"Did you talk to them?" Rose asked. "I mean, maybe if you tell them how much you love it, they let you come back."

"Trust me, they won't change their minds." Jude insisted, but Rose wasn't so sure. "You don't know what they are like. I mean, I get that they care, but—"

"What do you mean?" Rose asked, she got that his parents cared, but it didn't make any sense why they thought it would be dangerous for him to sing and dance or act.

"You wouldn't understand." Jude said and Rose sighed as Jude tried to walk away from her. She let him go, but she wasn't going to let this be the end of it. Jude wouldn't be happy if he had to leave Glee Club and she wasn't going to let that happen.

Abby was at her locker, when Skylar came around the side and she grinned. "Hey." He said.

"Hey." She repeated.

"So, I want to hang out with you. Tonight." Skylar said, plainly and Abby smiled.

"Oh really?" She questioned and Skylar nodded. "What if I have plans with someone else?" Skylar frowned and he didn't know what to say to that. "Relax, I am joking. Sure, what should we do?" Skylar sighed in relief, he really liked Abby; she was one of the few people he could talk to, who of course were interested.

"Dinner maybe, any restaurant preferences?" Skylar suggested.

"How about we pick it up from any fast food place and then eat at your place?" Abby suggested and Skylar frowned. That would not end well, especially with his family. But what could he tell her? That she can't come over because he has to protect his little sister from his abusive mom that is also a drug dealer and addict?

"I don't know. My house is kind of messy." Skylar protested. "And my mom really doesn't really like people at the house and my little sister might bother us." Sure it was a lie, but not a total lie. His mother didn't like anyone there.

"Come on…. It can't be that bad. And I am sure I can handle your little sister." Abby said, for some reason she really wanted to go to Skylar's house. "Can't you talk to your mom? I mean we do have to rehearse for the play."

Skylar's mom didn't even know about that. If she did, he would a get a beating worse than his daily ones. Of course, that would be after questioning the fact that they picked him for one of the lead parts of course. Skylar sighed and grinned at her. "Sure, I'll try. I'll call you if you can."

Abby smiled bigger and then kissed Skylar on the cheek. "I'll see you tonight. Hopefully." Skylar sighed as she walked away; hopefully things would go better than how he saw things going.

Finn was dealing with some others things, while Marley decided to handle Glee Club for the day without him. She took a marker and wrote Fear on the board. "Okay, everyone in here is afraid of something, but in music, artists don't let fear control them, or else, they wouldn't be where they are today." Marley said. "Anyway, I want you to pick a song, one that you never thought you would sing in your life time, and sing it."

"Antonia, Gabby, you two said you had a song in mind?" Marley questioned and they both nodded and then stood up in front.

[Antonia]
One more hour burns
So scared of his return
That I can't sleep tonight
In this hospital light

[Gabby]
What you call tragedy
It's just another day to me
For my heart beats with fear
As his footsteps draw near

[Antonia]
The life I'm meant to lead

[Gabby]
Won't slip away from me

[Antonia & Gabby]
'Cause this time's the last time
I know that my eyes have seen too much
This nightmare is not fair
And I've had enough

[Antonia]
You break me, you just say you're sorry
You call this love
But this time your lies are not enough
This time

[Gabby]
And what remains a mystery
You cannot have the best of me
So I'm taking back all you took from me

[Antonia & Gabby]
'Cause this time's the last time
I know that my eyes have seen too much
This nightmare is not fair
And I've had enough

You break me, you just say you're sorry
You call this love
But this time your lies are not enough
This time

"Nice job ladies, what inspired this pick?" Marley asked.

"Well, personally for me, probably because Celine has such a unique voice, it would be hard to compete or try "top" that, I guess." Antonia said. "Gabby was the one who picked the song."

"What about you Gabby? Why this song, also?"

"Uh, I mean, the song itself has a huge meaning, it hard to portray it through the song, and also what Toni said." Gabby said.

"Alright, nice job girls!" Marley praised as she and the rest of club applauded them. They sat back down as Marley began to speak some more. Once it was over, Antonia followed Gabby into the hall.

"Are you ever going to tell me why you chose that song?" Antonia asked as she followed Gabby to her locker.

"I told you. I like Celine, she is like one of my favorite artists." Gabby said.

"And yet you have never sang one of her songs before and I have never seen you listen to her music, well beside the over played song." Antonia pointed out. "And you chose, out of all the songs you could by her, that particular one. Why?"

"No reason, I just like it and I have never seen anyone cover it." Gabby said, Antonia wasn't totally convinced, but she let it go.

"Anyway, why are complaining?" Gabby questioned. "I mean, I think it worked for your situation." Antonia arched her eyebrow in confusion. "Don't give me that look. You can't tell me you weren't thinking about Ethan during that song. Antonia glanced down as she tried not to look guilty.

"Right. As I thought." Gabby added and Antonia rolled her eyes.

"Shut up." Antonia replied and then walked away. Gabby had a point, she was thinking of Ethan during that song, but only because she thought he liked her, but in reality liked a different girl.

Rose decided to ditch Glee Club for the day, it would give her time to speak to a few people. She went to Jude's house and knocked on the door. A man answered it, obviously not knowing who she was. "Hello, can I help you?" He asked.

"Hi, I'm Rose. I am friends with Jude." She said and the man grinned.

"Please come in." He said and Rose entered the house. "Excuse me for a moment." He added as Rose stepped into the living room. Soon, the man came back, followed by a woman; Rose assumed that was his wife and Jude's mom.

"Hi, I'm Lucy and you've met my husband, George." She said and shook Rose's hand; they were very friendly at least. "So you are friends with Jude?" She asked and Rose nodded. "He's mentioned you before, Rose, right?" She nodded again.

"Yeah, anyway—" Lucy cut Rose off again.

"Well, Jude isn't here right now—" It was Rose's turn to cut her off.

"I am not here to see Jude, I am here to talk to you both." Rose said and then both George and Lucy sat down in front of Rose, they looked worried.

"Did something happen to him?" Lucy asked concerned. "George, I told you we shouldn't have sent him to a public school!"

"No, no, no, Jude is fine. Nothing like that." Rose said and Lucy looked extrememly relieved; now Rose knew what Jude meant by the cared. They seemed like they really cared. "He told me that you are making him quit the play. And Glee Club."

"Oh, I see." George said.

"I mean, Jude loves it—"

"Well, you see in being part of a club, especially like this Glee Club, it involves a lot. Like dancing, which hard and then singing, that puts on a lot of stress." George started.

"And having to make sure everything is perfect, that puts even more stress." Lucy added. "That is way too much stress and we don't think Jude should have to be exposed to it."

"And then the play, he has memorize tons of lines and be believable with the performance. That is even more. Jude can't handle stuff like that." George said. Rose didn't understand, I mean sure, it seems like stress, but that is only if you don't enjoy what you are doing, it's fun and it doesn't seem like work.

"But Jude loves it and I mean, it seems stressful, but it's not if you love it." Rose pointed out. "And everyone has to deal with stress—"

"Jude can't handle stress, you don't understand." Lucy replied.

"You're right, I don't understand. And I would like to."

"He didn't tell you?" George asked and Rose shook her head. "Jude has epilepsy and if he gets too stressed out or panicky—"

"He'll have a seizure." Rose said. She couldn't believe that Jude never told her that he had epilepsy. No wonder they were worried about him.

"Yes."

"But, the thing is, Jude, one day is going to be by himself and he won't have you guys to protect him from all the stress he will have with becoming an adult and such. And you protecting him, you are keeping him from doing things that he loves. I think it would be a mistake to keep him from that." Rose said.

George and Lucy exchanged looks, they saw Rose's point, but were still unsure. "The lesson for this week, is fear. It's about letting go of our fears." Rose said, she thought it might help. "And I know you both are afraid of Jude getting hurt, but he is smart and amazing. You need to let him have a little freedom."

Rose then got up and left the house. She hoped that would help Jude out, she was pretty confident in everything she said; but she still couldn't believe she just found out that at any time, Jude could have a seizure.

I should have seen it coming, I should
have known
How could I let you play me, I don't
even know?
I should have seen it coming, I should
have known
How could I let you play me, I don't
even know?

I'm such a fool, I can't believe I
let you in my life
You broke the rules but I
should have known
You do it all the time

Thought we were cool but then
again who am I kidding?
It's every players
favorite crime, yeah
To make you feel
like it's all real
When it's a lie and I
should have known

I should have seen it coming, I
should have known
How could I let you play me, I
don't even know?
I should have seen it coming, I
should have known
How could I let you play me, I
don't even know?

I should have known, my family,
they never did pretend
My mama felt, she never liked,
you neither did my friends
And when you blamed it all on me I
should have known
That's what liars always try to do, yeah

It wasn't me, it was you
You're the fool and I
should have known

Skylar paced back in forth, he had to wait for his mother to leave before he could call Abby, she usually was gone for many hours. She stays out as late as she can, so she can get more people willing to buy drugs. "Skylar, can I please leave just for a second?" Skylar's little sister, Chloe, asked. "I just need to use the bathroom."

"Not yet Chloe, mom hasn't left yet." Skylar said. If one of them left the room and were caught by their mother, they would get hurt. Chloe sighed.

"SKYLAR!" They both heard from outside the door. Chloe looked at her older brother in fear as Skylar sighed; she always picked him.

"Stay here. Okay." Skylar told Chloe and she nodded. Skylar slowly opened the door and walked out of his bedroom. He went into the living room, where his mother was. "Did you need something?" Skylar asked, not looking at her.

"I wouldn't call you if I didn't." She said and Skylar sighed. "I am leaving. Don't do anything stupid. Got it!?" She said and Skylar nodded, still not looking at her.

"Look at me when I am talking to you!" She yelled as she picked up something from close by and threw it at Skylar. He felt it hit his head and then he looked up at his mother. "Better." She added as she then went out the door with her drugs and such.

A few minutes after she was gone, Skylar went back into the bedroom and Chloe rushed out as he picked up the phone and called Abby, telling her to come over with food. By the time, he hung up, Chloe came back in the room.

"Who was that?" Chloe asked.

"Okay, my friend is coming over and she is bringing food." Skylar told her.

"What if mom comes back?" Chloe asked.

"She won't be here long, besides, aren't you hungry?" Skylar said and Chloe nodded.

"Is it a girl?" She asked and Skylar blushed and nodded. "Sky has a girlfriend!"

"She isn't my girlfriend. At least not yet." Skylar said. "Anyway, we are going to be doing stuff, so I need you to do your homework in here." Chloe nodded in agreement.

Soon enough, Skylar heard someone knock on the door and he went and answered it and smiled when he saw Abby, along with a few bags of food. "Hey, is Skylar home?" Abby said and Skylar let her in the house and looked around at the area.

"It doesn't look bad." Abby said as Chloe then came out into where they were. Abby smiled at the younger girl. "Hi, I'm Abby, what's your name?"

"Chloe." She said and Abby handed her a bag of food and then Chloe took it into her bedroom, leaving Skylar and Abby alone.

"I kind of expected a seven or eight year old. She looks twelve." Abby said and Skylar chuckled.

"She's eleven actually." Skylar corrected. Abby followed Skylar into his room, where they began eating and going over their lines for the play. Every soon, they stopped and just started talking about other things and Abby became interested in looking at what Skylar had.

"Wow, you have classic albums, don't you?" Abby questioned.

"They used to be my dad's, but I like them so, I kept them." Skylar replied as Abby continued to look at them.

"Josh Groban, Madonna, Mirah Carey— he had taste. I guess for his time."

"Not a fan, I guess?" He quessed.

"Never heard Josh, and I am not really a fan of DIVAS like Mirah and Madonna." Abby said. "I like rock and alternative more. Like Paramore, Jena Irene, and Fall Out Boy."

"I like them, and I also like other artists like Phillip Phillips and Jason Mraz. But I also like some old stuff, like what you see in my collection. I don't really tell people about that, though." Skylar said.

"Why not? I mean, it's not really my taste, but I mean, I am sure other people like it too." Abby pointed out.

"I don't know, I mean, I always been kind of shy about these things." Skylar admitted.

"You shouldn't. And I mean, this week's assignment is about letting go of your fear." Abby said and Skylar smiled at her. "You are amazing. You should show it, in a way nobody has seen it."

"Like you." Skylar said and Abby smiled at him. They started to lean in closer until their lips touched, but they were interrupted by the sound of a car door slamming shut. Skylar's eyes widened, he knew that sound.

Skylar went over to his window and he couldn't believe this; his mom was home early. "What's wrong?" Abby asked.

"You have to go." Skylar said, quickly. "My mom's home."

"I thought you worked things out."

"I didn't tell her. She is never home this early, if she catches you I am dead." Skylar panicked. "Go out the window. Hurry!" Abby didn't know what to say and did what she was asked and went out the window. He closed it as Abby hurried away and then his bedroom swung open.

"SKYLAR!" His mother yelled and Skylar stood there in fear. "WHAT THE HELL?!" She yelled and then walked towards Skylar, angrily. She started to hit him and Skylar tried to protect his face, but that was before the first few hits.

"Stop." Skylar said in a whisper. But she kept hitting him and she screamed some more, but Skylar didn't let out a scream as she continued to hit him; even though he felt like he should scream.

Rose was at her locker when Jude pulled her aside. "You went to my house?" Jude asked and Rose sighed and nodded.

"I'm sorry—I just thought if I talked them, I would help you." Rose said. "Anyway, now I know why they are worried about you."

"What?" Jude asked confused, but it was obvious what she meant.

"They told me that you have epilepsy." Rose said and Jude sighed.

"I guess I don't have to tell you why I don't want anyone meeting my family."

"Why didn't you tell me? Or anyone in the Glee Club for that matter?" Rose asked him. She really liked Jude and she just wanted to know why he kept this a secret from her and everyone; they cared about him and he kept something important to himself.

"I don't want anyone to know. I mean, they will look at me different and treat me different. That's why the school doesn't even know." Jude said. "I mean, no one needs to know. I can handle them."

"Okay, anyway, what did your parents say? Did I help at all?" Rose asked, hoping that she did.

"Well, I get to be in the play, but they won't let me be in Glee Club." Jude said and Rose sighed. "They only agreed because I said the musical stuff is going on for a month or something like that."

"Great." Rose said, she thought she would have at least got him back in Glee.

"Good thing I told them I joined a study group after school when Glee Club goes on." Jude said and then smiled. Rose then smiled, she couldn't believe what he was doing, but it didn't matter; Jude was coming back. "I told Mr. Hudson that I am coming back."

Rose then put her arms around Jude and hugged him. "Jude Watson, you are amazing." Rose said and then looked at his smiling face.

Abby walked up to Skylar who was at his locker. He smiled when he saw her. "Hey, are you alright?" Abby asked.

"Why wouldn't I be?" He asked.

"Last night after I went your window and was walking to my car, I heard screaming." Abby said and Skylar sighed. "I mean, you were so scared when she got home—"

"Abby, sorry, my mom just yelled because the place was a mess and the food wrappers everywhere. She was also really tired—don't worry. I am fine. I just didn't want to get you or me in trouble." Skylar said, what she didn't know, wouldn't hurt her.

"Okay." Abby said, she grinned, she was relieved nothing was really going on. Skylar reached into his locker and pulled out a flower. "What is this for?"

"I am hoping you will like my next proposition." Skylar said.

"What is it?"

"Will you be my girlfriend?" Skylar asked, with much hope for a yes.

"Yes." Abby agreed and he kissed her on lips and they smiled on each other. "Anyway, I have a song, you and the glee club should here." He said and then Skylar was standing in front of the Glee Club on one of the stools, singing a song he never thought he would be singing.

Where has that old friend gone?
Lost in a February song
Tell him it won't be long
'Til he opens his eyes, opens his eyes

Where is that simple day
Before colors broke into shades?
And how did I ever fade
Into this life, into this life?

And I never want to let you down
Forgive me if I slip away
When all that I've known is lost and found
I promise you, I, I'll come back to you one day

Morning is waking up
And sometimes it's more than just enough
When all that you need to love
Is in front of your eyes
It's in front of your eyes

And I never want to let you down
Forgive me if I slip away
Sometimes it's hard to find the ground
'Cause I keep on falling as I try
To get away from this crazy world

And I never want to let you down
Forgive me if I slip away
When all that I've known is lost and found
I promise you, I, I'll come back to you one day

Where has that old friend gone?
Lost in a February song
Tell him it won't be long
'Til he opens his eyes, opens his eyes

They all applauded and Skylar smiled as he looked over at Abby, who was smiling big at him. "That was amazing, Skylar. Why did you chose that song?"

"I have always been really shy about my music taste, but a friend got me to realize I shouldn't be. I took a risk singing this because he is phenomenal artist." Skylar explained.

"And you did a fantastic job." Finn praised. Skylar nodded with a smile, he had Abby to thank for that.

So Jude is now keeping Glee Club a secret from his parents and Rose knows that he has epilepsy. Also Abby and Skylar are together.

Songs: This Time (Celine Dion), Should Have Known (Robyn), & February Song (Josh Groban)
