"From William McKinley High school, in Lima, Ohio, please welcome the New Directions!"
Kurt and Blaine slowly walked onto the stage, followed by the rest of the New Directions, and stood separated on the front of the stage. Music started to play, and Kurt could hear the other start to hum and sing along, but all Kurt could see was Blaine.
Staring out at the rain with a heavy heart
Its the end of the world in my mind
Then your voice pulls me back like a wake up call
I've been looking for the answer
Somewhere
I couldn't see that it was right there
But now I know what I didn't know
Kurt sung the first by himself, looking out at the audience rather than Blaine, but he could feel Blaine's eyes on him. He also knew that Blaine knew that he was singing to him.
Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world has twice as many stars in the sky
Blaine smiled brightly as he joined Kurt in the chorus, meaning every word as he stared at Kurt, who had yet to look at him.
It's alright, I survived, I'm alive again
Cuz of you, made it through in a storm
What is life, what's the use if you're killing time
I'm so glad I found an angel
Someone
Who was there when all my hopes fell
I wanna fly, looking in your eyes
The smile stayed on Blaine's face as he took up the next verse, his face brightening when Kurt finally turned and looked at him when he called him an angel. A smile broke out across Kurt's face as he watched him sing, the rest of the group swaying and singing along quietly.
Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world has twice as many stars in the sky
Because you live, I live
As the two boys sang the chorus, Puck, Brittany, Santana, Sam, Tina and Mike came up behind them and started to dance in their pairs, the other singing loudly during the chorus.
Because you live there's a reason why
I carry on when I lose the fight
I want to give what you've given me always
Kurt sang alone as the stepped closer to Blaine and started to dance with him like the others were, the rest of the New Directions forming around them as the sang the rest of the song.
Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world has twice as many stars in the sky
Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world has everything I need to survive
Because you live, I live, I live
They were met by a round of applause as the group stepped back into formation, and the next song started to play as Mercedes and Quinn stepped forward and sung the first verse.
And I am telling you, I'm not going
You're the best man I'll ever know
There's no way I can ever go
No, No, there's now way
Mercedes and Quinn stepped back, joining in with the dancing once again as Puck and Tina stepped forward.
No, no, no way
I'm living without you
I'm not living without you
I don't wanna be free
Puck grinned as he took Tina's hand and pulled her back into the throng of dancers. Kurt and Brittany stepped forward next.
I'm staying, I'm staying
And you, and you
You're gonna love me
Ooh, you're gonna love
Brittany gripped Kurt's hand then and pulled him back as the group formed back into their formation and together they all sung the chorus.
And I am telling you, I'm not going
Even though the rough times are showing
There's just no way, no way
Next, Finn and Blaine stepped forward along with Mike and Sam.
We're part of the same place
We're part of the same time
We both share the same blood
We both have the same mind
The four boys stepped back into their places, the crowd now cheering, as Rachel, Tina and Santana stepped forward into their place.
And time and time we've had so much to share
No, no, no, no, no, no way
I'm not waking up tomorrow morning
And finding that there's nobody there
As the three girls stepped forward, Artie rolled into the centre by himself, while the rest of the group sang behind him.
Darling, there's no way
No, no, no, no way
I'm living without you
I'm not living without you
You see, there's no way, there's no way
Artie rolled back into his spot as all the girls moved forward and formed a line in front of the boys.
Tear down the mountains
Yell, scream, and shout
You can say what you want
I'm not walking out
Stop all the rivers
Push, strike, and kill
I'm not gonna leave you
There's no way I will
The girls stayed in their positions as they turned to look at the boys.
And I am telling you I'm not going
You're the best man I'll ever know
There's no way I can ever, ever go
No, no, no, no way
No, no, no, no way
I'm living without you
I'm not living without you
Not living without you
I don't wanna be free
The boys surged forward and mixed in with the girls, making sure they had a partner before dancing with them as they all sung the rest of the song, the crowd in front of the still cheering and clapping.
I'm staying, I'm staying
And you, and you, and you
You're gonna love me
Oh, hey, you're gonna love me
Yes, you are, ooh, ooh, love me
Yeah, love me, love me, love me, love
You're gonna love me
The crowd cheered louder as the group bowed and ran from the stage, moving of behind stage for a group hug with Mr. Schue.
"Guys, great job. For your first competition, you did really well." Mr. Schue said as they all stepped away from each other and started to make their way into the audience to find their seats, taking the ones that had just been the Warblers.
"All the way from Westerville, Ohio. The Dalton Academy Warblers!"
The New Directions were just sitting down in their seats as the curtains opened again to show a sea of male students in navy blue and red blazers. They watched as a brown headed boy stepped forward
"Nick." Blaine said as the other turned and looked at him, most of the having almost forgotten that he had been a member of the Warbers. Kurt smiled at his boyfriend and reached out to rub his arm as the boy started to sing.
Oh yeah(oooh)
Oh yeah(oooh, aaa)
So scared of breaking it
That you won't let it bend
And I wrote two hundred letters
I won't ever send
Sometimes these cuts are so much
Deeper than they seem
You'd rather cover up
I'd rather let them be
So let me be
And I'll set you free
I am in misery
There ain't nobody
Who can comfort me, oh yeah
Why won't you answer me?
The silence is slowly killing me, oh yeah
Girl you really got me bad
You really got me bad
Now I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna get you back
Your salty skin and how
It mixes in with mine (mixes in with mine)
The way it feels to be
Completely intertwined (completely intertwined)
It's not that I didn't care
It's that I didn't know (that I didn't know)
It's not what I didn't feel,
It's what I didn't show
So let me be
And I'll set you free
I am in misery
There ain't nobody
Who can comfort me ,oh yeah
Why won't you answer me?
The silence is slowly killing me, oh yeah
Girl you really got me bad
You really got me bad
Now I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna get you back
You say your faith is shaken
And You may be mistaken
You keep me wide awake and
Waiting for the sun (waiting for the sun)
I'm desperate and confused
So far away from you
I'm getting there
I don't care where I have to go
Why do you do what you do to me, yeah
Why won't you answer me, answer me yeah
Why do you do what you do to me yeah
Why won't you answer me, answer me yeah
I am in misery
There ain't nobody
Who can comfort me, oh yeah
Why won't you answer me?
The silence is slowly killing me, oh yeah
Girl you really got me bad
You really got me bad
Now I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna get you back
Girl you really got me bad
You really got me bad
Now I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna get you back
The New Directions, along with almost all of the audience, cheered and clapped for the group. Blaine jumped to his feet as the started their next song, and the rest of the audience quickly followed.
Uh huh, life's like this Chill out, what you yellin' for? Somebody else 'round everyone else Why do you have to go and make things so complicated? You come over unannounced Somebody else 'round everyone else Why do you have to go and make things so complicated? No, no, no Chill out, what you yellin' for? Somebody else 'round everyone else Why do you have to go and make things so complicated? Why do you have to go and make things so complicated? (yeah, yeah)
Uh huh, uh huh, that's the way it is
'Cause life's like this
Uh huh, uh huh that's the way it is
Lay back, it's all been done before
And if you could only let it be
You will see
I like you the way you are
When we're drivin' in your car
And you're talking to me one on one
But you've become...
You're watching your back like you can't relax
You're tryin' to be cool
You look like a fool to me
Tell me
I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else
Gets me frustrated
Life's like this
You, you fall and you crawl and you break
And you take what you get and you turn it into honesty
You promised me I'm never gonna find you fake it
No, no, no
Dressed up like you're somethin' else
Where you are ain't where it's at
You see you're making me laugh out
When you strike your pose
Take off all your preppy clothes
You know you're not fooling anyone
When you've become...
You're watchin' your back like you can't relax
You're tryin' to be cool
You look like a fool to me
Tell me
I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else
Gets me frustrated
Life's like this
You, you fall and you crawl and you break
And you take what you get and you turn it into honesty
You promised me I'm never gonna find you fake it
No, no, no
No, no, no
No, no, no
Lay back, it's all been done before
And if you could only let it be
You will see...
You're watching your back like you can't relax
You're trying to be cool,
You look like a fool to me
Tell me
I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else
Gets me frustrated
Life's like this
You, you fall and you crawl and you break
And you take what you get and you turn it into honesty
You promised me I'm never gonna find you fake it
No no
I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else
Gets me frustrated
Life's like this
You, you fall and you crawl and you break
And you take what you get and you turn it into honesty
You promised me I'm never gonna find you fake it
No no no
"Wow, they've never done Avril Lavigne before." Blaine said from where he stood as the crowd cheered while the curtains closed. They all sat down again, and waited before the next group performed. They weren't as good as the New Directions and the Warblers, and the crowd clapped politely when they finished. After they had finished, the three groups were called onto the stage. The presenter stood in front of them with three envelopes in his hand, the three groups watching him nervously.
"Okay, lets get on with it, shall we?" The presenter declared as he opened the third place envelope and pulled out the card, pausing.
"And in third place, The Jane Addams Academy Glee Club!"
The group of girls beside the Warblers cheered as the were handed a third place trophy. Moments later they walked off back stage.
"Now, In first place... The New Directions!"
The New Directions cheered louder than ever, Rachel jumping into Finn's arms as Kurt jumped into Blaine's. As they were passed their first place trophy, hefting it high in the air, out of the corner of Mr. Schue's eye, he could see them staring at Blaine with disappointment clear in their eyes. Blaine made it better though as he pulled Kurt from the group and ran over to his old glee club to hug them. They happily obliged and hugged him back, even going so far to hug and clap Kurt on the back. Kurt was grinning when they made their way back to the group.
"Congrats guys, I knew you had it in you. Next step, Regionals!"
And there you have it, Sectionals! I was determining between the New Directions and the Warblers tying, but I decided to go with them winning like they did in the show. Next chapter, Rachel will be about seven and a half almost eight months pregnant, and it will be about a month 'till Regionals! Please review xx Unfortunately, I do not own Glee. I can wish though, can't I? :D
