Strange Directions Chapter 13: Spring Break, a glee fanfic

It was Friday afternoon and it was about to be the time that every student loves whether they're in high school or college: spring break. Jessa and I were heading to Virginia Beach with Sadie, Kathryn, Cara and Daisy. I had to admit that I was nervous. I wasn't a huge fan of being away from Beth for a whole, but my mom insisted that she would take good care of her. I probably still call a lot. It was a good thinking that Beth had already started walking and talking so I wouldn't miss any milestones while I was gone.

I wore a black blouse with a black tulle skirt and black boots with a black rose ring and a good deal of eyeshadow and liner.

"So I know that some of you probably don't want to be here right now, but I wanted to have this meeting so I could wish all of you a safe spring break. Before I cut you loose, I wanted to know if anyone had anything that they wanted to sing." Will stated.

I knew that I didn't want to be the one to delay everyone's spring break but it seemed that Rachel didn't mind it. I could see a few annoyed looks coming from the others.

Days like this I want to drive away
Pack my bags and watch your shadow fade
You chewed me up and spit me out like I was poison in your mouth
You took my light, you dragged me down but that was then and this is now

Now look at me

This is the part of me that you're never gonna ever take away from me, no
This is the part of me that you're never gonna ever take away from me, no
Throw your sticks and stones, throw your bombs and bones, but you're not gonna break my soul
This is the part of me that you're never gonna ever take away from me, no

Now look at me I'm sparkling, a firework, a dancing flame
You won't ever put me out again, I'm glowing
So you can keep the diamond ring, it don't mean nothing anyway
In fact you can keep everything except for me

After Rachel was done singing, pretty much everyone was right out the door. Her singing did delay me a little bit. I had to go home first because I wasn't going to take my bags to school and I definitely wanted to see Beth before I left. I hoped that she would be okay with me being away for a whole week. I really wanted to be able to do this. I wanted to be able to go on a trip with my friends and my girlfriend and maybe if everything went, we could turn it into an annual thing.

"So are you sure that you're okay with me going on this trip?" I asked my mom.

"Are you sure that you're okay with going?" She challenged. "I know that leaving your child is really challenging."

"I want to try." I declared. "I don't know what my future holds for me, but there might come a time when I have to be away from Beth for periods of time and I need to know if I can do it. Speaking of which, is she awake right now?"

"She's taking her nap." Mom stated. I didn't want to wake, but I knew that I had to. I also probably needed to get a bed for her soon. She was almost two years old. I went up to her room.

"Beth, sweetie, wake up." I told her.

"Mama?" She asked.

"Hey, Baby." I told her. "I wanted to see you before I left."

"Where you going?" She responded.

"Me and Mommy are going to be somewhere with Aunt Cara and Aunt Daisy for a little while." I explained. "Grandma is going to be here with you and I will make sure to call every day so you can talk to me."

I then knew that Jessa and I needed to get to the airport so I gave Beth a hug and we headed out.

"So are you excited for this trip?" She asked.

"Yeah, I can't believe that your family is letting us use your private for the trip." I stated.

"Well the worst part of being on a plane is having to travel with people that you don't know." Jessa explained. "That's why my grandpa spent the money on the plane. It's worth it."

I heard a song on the radio as we headed to the airport and began to sing along.

Paper bags and plastic hearts, all belongings in shopping carts
It's goodbye, but we got one more night
Let's get drunk and ride around and make peace with an empty town
We can make it right

Throw it away, forget yesterday, we'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say, they don't know us anyway
Watch it burn, let it die, cause we are finally free tonight

All of the wasted time, the hours that were left behind
The answers that we'll never find, they don't mean a thing tonight

Throw it away forget yesterday, we'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say, they don't know us anyway

Throw it away, forget yesterday, we'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say, they don't know us anyway
Throw it away, forget yesterday, we'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say, they don't know us anyway
Watch it burn, let it die, cause we are finally free tonight

Once we got to the airport, we met up with the other girls and then took off. Another thing about going on the private jet was that there wasn't as much security as a commercial flight.

The plane wasn't what I expected when I thought of a private jet. There wasn't a flatscreen in it, but supposed that would have been hard to do. I was pretty sure that you couldn't get cable or even satellite at thirty thousand feet. One thing that was there was a bedroom. I'd never slept on a plane before, but I probably would try it on the way back at least. Cara wanted to use it on the way there and Jessa didn't object to the idea. Actually, I wasn't sure if I would sleep because it wasn't even that long of a flight there.

It had been a while since I had been to the beach. I hadn't been there since I was a kid to be honest and things were a lot easier because all that I wanted to do was play in the sand and water. I was a kid. The point was that I didn't care how I looked or about volleyball or getting a tan or any of the stuff that I did now. I was not even one hundred percent that I would go in the water.

Once we arrived, we went to Jessa's family beach house. It was the main reason that we were going to Virginia Beach instead of somewhere else, aside from the crowd size.

"So are you going to wear a bikini on the beach?" I asked Kathryn.

"I don't know. I've never worn one before and I'm not sure how everything would work." She answered.

"Well I've seen you in panties and I didn't notice anything." I pointed out.

"Yeah, but I didn't have to deal with hot shirtless guys and possibility of having an erection in a bikini." She remarked.

"Can that happen?" I asked her.

"I don't even know. I don't have a lot of experience around shirtless guys." She admitted.

"How about you just wear a towel around your waist at first and you can see what happens." I suggested.

The following day we headed to the beach. I wore a black bikini with blue lines on it while Jessa wore a grey and pink one. Cara and Daisy wore blue and green ones to match their hair and Sadie had a pink one. Kathryn wore a red bikini with a red towel wrapped around her waist.

"So how do you feel?" I asked Kathryn.

"You know it's actually not as bad as I thought it would be." She answered.

"Maybe it's because you are not really attracted to anyone but Blaine?" Sadie suggested.

"Well there is one thing that I know." Kathryn said before she began to sing.

This is a call to the colorblind
This is an IOU
I'm standing behind the horizon line
Tied up in something true

Yes I'm grounded got my wings clipped, I'm surrounded by all this pavement
Guess I'll circle while I'm waitingfor my fuse to dry
Someday I'll fly, someday I'll soar, someday I'll be so damn much more
Cause I'm bigger than my body gives me credit for

Maybe I'll tangle in the power lines and it might be over in a second's time
But I'll gladly go down in a flame, if the flame's what it takes to remember my name
To remember my name, oh

That night we got invited to a beach party. It wasn't like a normal beach party because apparently it was an LGBT beach party. Apparently the girl who was throwing it saw me and Jessa kissing and decided to invite us. However, before I went there, I knew that I wanted to talk to my mom and Beth. The phone call was nice and not too long. Of course I felt like I could talk to Beth for a while even though she had a limited vocabulary. I hoped that I would be able to stay the whole week and miss her too much.

At the party, I was with Kathryn while Jessa was using the bathroom.

"So are you two together?" A girl asked us.

"No, I'm straight." Kathryn answered.

"Then what are you doing here?" The girl responded.

"I'm kind of a T." Kathryn replied with a blush.

"Really? Me too." The girl said with a big smile. "How long have you been transitioning?"

"Since this summer." Kathryn answered. At that point, I noticed that Sadie had begun to sing. She seemed like she might have had too much to drink.

I make the most of all this stress, I try to live without regrets
But I'm about to break a sweat, I'm freaking out
It's like a poison in my brain, it's like a fog that blurs the sane
It's like a vine you can't untangle, I'm freaking out

Every time I turn around something just don't feel right

Just might be paranoid, I'm avoiding the lines cause they just might slip
Could someone stop the noise I don't know what it is but it just don't fit
Consider me destroyed I don't know how to act cause I lost my head
I must be paranoid I never thought it would come to this I'm paranoid

Stuck in a room of staring faces, caught in a nightmare can't wake up
Can you hear me cry running through her street, I'm about to freak come on rescue me

When came time for the trip to end, I decided that we should do one of those scenes from the movie where we all go to the beach and look at the sunrise.

"You maybe we should see if we can find time once a year to see if we can do something like this again." I said.

"This seems like a scene like a bad movie." Cara remarked.

"What's wrong with a friendship scene?" I challenged. "There's nothing wrong with trying to stay connected with your friends. Well can make this last beyond high school and stay in touch. And since this is like a movie, it needs a cheesy credits song."

Uh oh, there you go again talking cinematic
Yeah you! You're charming, got everybody star struck
I know how you always seem to go
For the obvious instead of me but get a ticket and you'll see

If we were a movie, you'd be the right guy
And I'd be the best friend that you fall in love with
In the end we'd be laughing, watching the sunset
Fade to black, show the names, play the happy song, yeah

Wish I could tell you there's a twist, some kind of hero in disguise
And we're together, it's for real, now playing
Wish I could tell you there's a kiss like something more than in my mind
I see it could be amazing

"So who's in?" I asked. We all put our hands in together and smiled.

So this chapter really doesn't have anything to do with the storyline. It's just about some friendship. The songs are "Part of Me" by Katy Perry, "The Great Escape" by Boys Like Girls, "Bigger Than My Body" by John Mayer, "Paranoid" by Jonas Brothers and "If We Were a Movie" by Hannah Montana. Please don't forget to review.
