Authors Note PLEASE READ
I'm sorry for the late update! I just didn't feel like writing for the past few days and I was a little stuck on how to write this chapter. But after watching my Glee season 2 volume 1 DVD's that are filled with Finchel and Fabrevans I felt the inspiration to write again! I hope you all enjoy this chapter. Oh and thank you all so much, again for all of the reviews! Enjoy!
I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING ACCEPT: AUDREY. HAYLEY, LILY, ADAM, SCOTT, SYDNEY, RYAN, NICOLE, AVA, JAMES, ALEX, JENNA, CARTER, AND LINDSAY!
"I can't believe I'm going to be alone on Valentine's Day," said Nicole.
"You're not the only one," added Carter as the two of them walked into the choir room.
"Hayley you're back! How are you feeling?" asked Nicole.
Hayley smiled, "Much better."
Just as Nicole and Carter took their seats, Hayley whispered to Audrey, "Everyone keeps on asking me that."
"They just want to know how you're doing," said Audrey just as Mr. Shue came in.
"Okay everybody, back in two thousand eleven the glee club put on a number using the song Born This Way by Lady Gaga. Each glee club member made a shirt with their own flaw or characteristic about themselves in big bold letters. Therefore, next week we are going to do the same thing. Think of a shirt idea, create it, and have it ready to wear by next Friday."

That night Audrey invited the glee girls for a sleep over, "Is Lindsay coming? Please say no," asked Nicole as she came through the door.
"I invited her but she said no and I'm completely fine with that," said Audrey as she headed upstairs with Nicole into her room. The rest of the glee girls were already talking and setting out their sleeping bags on the floor. Audrey put on some music and the six girls started talking about their shirt ideas for glee club.
"Mine's going to say flat chested," said Nicole as all of the girls broke out into laughter.
"Well it's true," Nicole added as she pointed to her boobs.
"What's yours going to say Ava?"
"Dumb blonde, I'm just a little stupid sometimes."
"I want mine to say gullible, once my sister told me Forever 21 was closing at the mall and they were having a huge sale. So I went down there and I even asked the sales woman and she thought I was crazy," said Carter and everyone started laughing again.
"Jenna?"
"Shy, I have always been shy since Kindergarten. But ever since I joined glee club I have gotten better with it."
"What about you Audrey?" asked Ava.
"Theater Nerd."
"That's perfect for you Audrey," said Nicole.
"Insecure is going to be mine," said Hayley. None of the girls asked why she chose that because they all knew why.
Audrey broke the silence by grabbing a pillow and hitting Carter with it. Everyone laughed at the sneak attack "Oh it's on," said Carter as she grabbed a pillow off Audrey's bed and hit her back. Soon everyone joined in on the pillow fight.
"That was fun," said Jenna out of breath. All of the girls nodded and sat back down on the floor and started talking again.
"Is anyone else going to be single on Valentine's Day?" asked Ava raising her hand. Everyone except Audrey raised their hand.
"We suck in the guy department," said Nicole.
"Audrey's the lucky one, she has Adam," said Hayley as Audrey smiled.
"Are you guys doing anything special?"
"He didn't say anything yet but I think he's going to surprise me."
"I wish all of the guys at McKinley were like Adam," said Carter.
Audrey smiled as Ava got up and turned the volume up on Audrey's iHome, "I love this song!"
It was We R Who We R, "Ugh I hate this song," said Jenna as Ava starts singing to the song. All of the girls got up and started singing and dancing to it.
Later that night while everyone was asleep Audrey felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned over to see it was Hayley, "Hey Audrey?"
"Yeah?"
"I'm hungry can I get something to eat?"
Audrey giggled, "Sure I'm a little hungry too."
The two girls made their way down stairs and into the kitchen to get something to eat, "Do you want me to make us grilled cheese?" asked Audrey.
"Sounds good to me," Hayley responded. After Audrey made two grilled cheese sandwiches, she sat down next to Hayley at the kitchen island and handed it to her.
"You know my Dad saw Gods face on one of these?" asked Audrey as she took a bite.
"What, that's just crazy," said Hayley while laughing.
"Yeah he did."
"I had a fun time tonight Audrey."
"I had a great time too," said Audrey just as Finn walked in.
"You didn't make me a grilled cheese?"
Audrey and Hayley both laughed, "Well Dad why don't you make your own and see if you see God's face again?"
"Haha very funny Audrey," said Finn as the two girls got up from their seats.
"Alright we're going back to bed, night Dad," said Audrey placing a kiss on his cheek.
"Night Audrey, night Hayley."
"Night," both girls said in unison as they made their way back upstairs.

Two days later it was Valentine's Day and Rachel woke up to a poke on her arm. She opened her eyes to see it was Lily, "Happy Valentime's Day Mommy!"
Rachel smiled, "Happy Valentine's Day to you too Lily Pad, where's Daddy?"
"He's down stawes making bweakfast with Sissy." Rachel got out of bed and headed downstairs with Lily.
"Happy Valentine's Day," said Finn when he saw the two of them walk in the Kitchen.
"Happy Valentine's Day to you too," said Rachel who gave him a kiss as he was cooking. Then the doorbell rang and Audrey answered it.
"Flowers for Miss. Audrey Hudson," said the delivery guy.
Audrey smiled as she took the bouquet of red roses from the man, "That's me, thank you," said Audrey shutting the door behind her. She walked back into the kitchen, placed the roses on the kitchen table, and read the card that came with them.
Audrey,
Happy Valentine's Day, meet me at Breadstix tonight at eight. See you there.
-Adam
"Are those from Adam?" Rachel asked.
"Yeah they are," said Audrey with a smile.
"How come you didn't get me roses Finn?"
"Rach, I'm taking you out for dinner tonight. How do you know I'm not giving you roses?" said Finn.
Rachel laughed as she gave him a hug, "I'm sorry."
"It's fine Rach. What did the card say?"
"He wants to meet me at Breadstix for dinner tonight at eight."

Hayley stayed home that night babysitting Ryan and Sydney while Sam and Quinn went out for dinner. Hayley walked into Ryan's room to see him working on his homework, "Need help?" Hayley asked.
"I think I'm good," Ryan responded.
Hayley nodded as she sat on his bed, "I need to tell you something Ryan and Sydney too."
"Did someone say my name?" asked Sydney standing in the doorway.
"Yeah I need to talk to both of you," said Hayley as Sydney sat next to her on the bed. Ryan got up from his desk and sat on the other side of Hayley.
"I'm sorry for how I acted for the past few months. I'm also sorry for calling you annoying pests that night. You guys aren't annoying pests at all. And you were right Ryan I was being mean and I just want to let you both know I'm getting better with my attitude and with my health and I won't be like I was before. Can you guys forgive me?"
Ryan and Sydney looked at each other and smiled, "We forgive you," said Ryan as he gave her a hug and so did Sydney.
Hayley laughed, "Alright it's getting late so Ryan finish up your homework and get ready for bed. Sydney did you brush your teeth?"
"Yep!" said Sydney jumping on Hayley's back for a piggyback ride.
After Sydney and Ryan were in bed, Hayley laid on her bed and thought about how she would be out with Scott tonight and how it was stupid for her to break up with him. All he wanted to do was help her but she didn't accept it. Hayley grabbed her guitar from the side of her bed and plucked a string. She really missed playing the guitar and singing as well as her photography. She then thought of a song to play and she began to strum.
I'm so glad you made time to see me
How's life? Tell me, how's your family?
I haven't seen them in a while
You've been good, busier than ever
We small talk, work and the weather
Your guard is up, and I know why
Because the last time you saw me
Is still burned in the back of your mind
You gave me roses, and I left them there to die
So this is me swallowing my pride
Standing in front of you, saying I'm sorry for that night
And I go back to December all the time
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I go back to December, turn around and make it alright
I go back to December all the time
These days, I haven't been sleeping
Staying up, playing back myself leaving
When your birthday passed, and I didn't call
Then I think about summer, all the beautiful times
I watched you laughing from the passenger side
And realized I loved you in the fall
And then the cold came, the dark days
When fear crept into my mind
You gave me all your love, and all I gave you was goodbye
So this is me swallowing my pride
Standing in front of you, saying I'm sorry for that night
And I go back to December all the time
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I go back to December, turn around and change my own mind
I go back to December all the time
I miss your tan skin, your sweet smile
So good to me, so right
And how you held me in your arms that September night
The first time you ever saw me cry
Maybe this is wishful thinking
Probably mindless dreaming
But if we loved again, I swear I'd love you right
I'd go back in time and change it, but I can't
So if the chain is on your door, I understand
This is me swallowing my pride
Standing in front of you, saying I'm sorry for that night
And I go back to December
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I go back to December, turn around and make it alright
I go back to December, turn around and change my own mind
I go back to December all the time, all the time

"Thanks for taking me out to dinner tonight," said Audrey as she walked into her house with Adam. Finn and Rachel were still out at dinner and Lily was at Carole and Burt's house for the night.
Adam smiled and kissed her on the lips as Audrey put her arms around his neck. "Do you want to go upstairs?" asked Audrey slightly pulling away. Adam nodded and continued kissing her. Once they were in Audrey's room Adam took off his jacket and shoes and started kissing her again on her bed. He was so gentle with Audrey unlike Luke. Adam stopped for a minute to brush a piece of hair out of Audrey's face.
"What?" Audrey asked.
"You're so beautiful."
Audrey smiled as Adam kissed her neck. They continued making out for the next five minutes until Audrey heard the front door shut, "Shit," said Audrey.
"What, what is it?" asked Adam as he stopped kissing her.
"My parents are home and they don't know you're here! If they see you up here with me they're going to flip!"
Adam got off Audrey's bed, "What should I do?"
"Audrey?" said Rachel from downstairs.
"Um, go hide in my bathroom. Go go!" said Audrey throwing his jacket and shoes at him as she pushed him into her bathroom. Audrey quickly changed into her pajamas and threw her hair up in a ponytail.
"In here Mom," shouted Audrey. She sat on her bed and pulled out a magazine to look like she was reading it.
Just then, Rachel walked in, "Hey how did it go with Adam?"
"It was great. What about you and Dad, did he get you roses?" said Audrey.
Rachel laughed, "Yeah he did, he got me a lot of them actually."
"Hey Mom, is it too early to say that I'm in love?"
Rachel smiled and gave her a kiss on her head, "I don't think so sweetheart, Good night."
"Night," said Audrey as Rachel shut the door. Audrey walked over to her bathroom and opened the door to see Adam in front of her.
"You love me?"
"Yeah, I do."
"Good cause I love you too," said Adam giving her one last kiss on the lips.
Audrey pulled away and smiled, "Your best bet for getting out of here is waiting until they go to bed."
"Okay, I'll wait."

Soon it was Friday and everyone in the glee club had worn their shirts to school, "Unsure?" asked Audrey referring to Adam's shirt.
"Yeah I'm unsure about a lot of things like my whole college situation, but I'm not unsure about you," said Adam as he took a seat in the choir room next to her.
"Hey!" said Scott as he sat next to Hayley.
"Goofy?" Hayley laughed.
"Well I am aren't I?" It wasn't long before Lindsay walked in wearing her shirt that said "Bitch"
"What are you looking at Hudson?" said Lindsay. Audrey didn't say anything back because it wasn't worth it.
"Wow your shirts look amazing you guys! Lets head down to the auditorium so we can perform our number," said Mr. Shue.

Sorry for introducing Ava so late in the story. There are also two other glee club members named Ethan and Liam but I just never got around to introducing them in the story.
I would like to thank Olivia Marie 20 for the Born This Way idea and for helping me with shirt ideas for the glee club!
Songs used: Back To December by: Taylor Swift and Born This Way by Lady Gaga
Next Chapter: Mr. Shue wants Audrey and Lindsay perform a number together at Regionals because he wants them to get along. Audrey also try's out for the school play but something happens that prevents her from that and from Regionals.
