Glee does not belong to me...
I wanted to give you two chapters this weeks because of my lack of the past few weeks.
Special Education
So after Kurt departure Mr. Schue had to come up with a new plan for sectionals next week. So now he's having Sunshine and I share a solo at sectionals and he made up this great choreography for the group number.
So now here we are rehearsing the group number, and I'm not feeling okay. In fact I haven't been feeling okay since 2 in the morning, and at first I thought it was indigestion but now I'm not so sure, I mean I feel nauseous, and I have chills, and my stomach hurts way more than this morning. Something's wrong.
"Rachel? Are you feeling okay?" Mr. Schue asks me after I stop moving because the pain is getting worse.
"No… I-I… I don't feel good" I say feeling out of breath. "Ah!" I exclaims as I collapse into the floor because of the pain.
"Rachel!" Mercedes yells as everyone runs towards me.
"It hurts!" I cry while hugging my abdomen.
"Okay, someone go fine the nurse!" Mr. Schue says and Sam leaves running. "Mercedes, go find Miss Corcoran"
"Yes, Mr. Schue" Mercedes says before leaving my side.
"Okay, Rachel? I need you to breathe, okay?" Mr. Schue says but I can't focus because the pain gets getting worse.
"I'm here with the nurse" Sam says as he and the nurse came running through the door.
"Okay, honey. Can you tell me where does it hurts?" Mrs. Lu asks me.
"In the-e ab-domen… lower si-side" I greed between my teeth's.
"Rachel?! What is it honey?" Mom says as she came into the room with Mercedes behind her.
"It hu-hurts! Mom!" I cry as the tears start to leave my eyes.
"We have to call an ambulance, she has a tender abdomen, and she has high fever, this could be appendicitis" The nurse says as she touches my abdomen making me grit my teeth. "I'll go call an ambulance, in the meantime give her some space so she can breathe" the nurse says getting up.
"Okay, everyone you heard the nurse give her some space" Mr. Schue says making everyone to step back.
Half an hour later I'm been carry away in an ambulance to the hospital, where the doctors do some tests on me, and after an hour of some morphine for the pain and some blood tests the doctors have their verdict.
"It's appendicitis" Dr. Nelson who's a general surgeon says.
"Okay, so she need surgery?" My dad asks after my mom called him and he left work right away.
"Yes, she does. We'll be performing an appendectomy, which means that we are removing her appendix" Dr. Wells says, the pediatric surgeon. "I'll be in the O.R. with Dr. Nelson because you're a minor and Dr. Wilson here will assist" she says as she points to the residents that putting something on my line.
"What's that?" My mom asks as she also notice.
"We're starting her on antibiotics to prevent any infection after the surgery" Dr. Wilson says.
"Oh, okay. Are you going to do the surgery laparoscopic?" My dad asks.
"In situations where there are no risks of rupture we would but in your daughter's case we'll have to do an open appendectomy" Dr. Nelson explains.
"Would I be here for long? I have to prepare for regionals" I say because I don't wanna lose the chance to perform.
"Honey, this is a serious situation, regionals can wait" Mom says as she strokes my hair.
"But, this is important for me" I say almost crying.
"You'll be here between three to four days, depends on how fast you'll be able to consume liquids again and your pain turns to a minimum" Dr. Wells says to me. "Dr. Wilson will take you to pre-ops and then we'll take you to surgery"
"Okay" I say signing. "Could you give me my phone I have to text Kurt and Mercedes" I say to my mom.
"Sure, here" she says passing me my phone. "I'll be right back, I'm going to call William to update him on everything" she says giving me a kiss on my head before going outside.
"Youre going to be okay" Dad says noticing that I'm getting scare.
"Okay…" I says before I text Kurt and Mercedes.
Divas (Mercedes Jones, Kurt Hummel):
Hey guys, I have appendicitis, and I'm having surgery, I'll probably be here for 4 days…
Kurt Hummel:
That sucks…....
Mercedes Jones:
Totally… I'll be there after school… everyone is planning on going to visit…
Kurt Hummel:
I'll see if I can go as well… I'll bring some magazines…
Divas (Mercedes Jones, Kurt Hummel):
Thank you guys… love u
"Okay, ready to go?" Dr. Wilson says as she starts to move some things on the bed.
"Mmm…" I say getting nervous.
"Everything is going to be fine, your mom and I will be in the waiting room, okay?" Dad says as he says my scared eyes.
"I love you" I say crying.
"I love you more… see you when you get out" Dad says as Dr. Wilson and some nurses wheel the bed away.
"Rach? Rachel can you hear me?" I hear someone asks me as I try to wake up.
"Uhg…" I try to talk but my throat is dry.
"Here's some water" Says the voice.
"Ah…" I sign after I manage some sips. "Where am I?" I asks feeling confuse.
"You're in a hospital, you had surgery, remember?" says the voice that I now recognize as my moms.
"Yeah… I had my appendix out" I say remembering.
"Exactly, everything went fine" she says while holding my hand.
"Where's dad?" I asks as I look around the room.
"He's taking a call outside. He'll be here in few minute" she says pulling my hair behind my ear. "Some of your glee friends are here, you'll like to see them?" she asks.
"Yes, please" I say trying to get more comfortable.
Mercedes, Kurt, Finn, Sunshine, Artie and Sam walk through the door, and they spend a few hours with me before they had to leave. They told me that now that I won't be able to the solo Mr. Schue is giving it to Sunshine.
After three days of being in a bed I'm finally discharge, which is a relief, I was dying to go home, where I have to spend at least two days on bed rest before I can walk around.
So Monday morning I'm ecstatic to go back to school after missing last weeks. Unfortunately I can't still do sudden moves, such as dancing, which means I can't be a feature on sectionals this Friday, so I'll have to be on the background.
So now I have Glee practice/Rehearsals where Mr. Schue will teach us the new dance routines for sectionals.
"Alright guys, first and foremost, two things: First our competition for Sectionals are your classic stool choirs. Great voices but they don't move. And if we're gonna beat them we need to do what they can't: Dance. Which is why I decided to feature Brittany and Mike Chang sweet moves for our performance" Mr. Schue says making us all smile at this.
"They're gonna dance in front of me while I sing my solo?" Sunshine asks confuse.
"You're not getting a solo for this competition Sunshine" Mr. Schue says making us look at him.
"Finally" Mercedes sassed. "So what song do I get to sing?"
"I was thinking that the winners of our duets competition will take the lead" Mr. Schue says taking us all by surprise.
"Ken and Barbie?" Sunshine says getting work up. "A-are you trying to throw this?"
"What's your problem with Sam and I singing at sectionals?" Quinn asks Sunshine offended by her tone.
"My problem is that since I joined this group I haven't been appreciated for my talent, and when I get the opportunity to finally shine, you decided to take it away and give it to Ken and Barbie who are not as good as me" Sunshine says really mad.
"Okay, listen… after Rachel surgery I was going to give you the solo, yes. But I've realize that there are really talented people in here, ad that we have to stop being so predictable" Mr. Schue says making a point.
"Do something!" I hear Sunshine whisper to Finn.
"Look, I'm all for pumping out the team, and making everyone feel special but that's for practice. You don't take the star quarterback or the back-up quarterback right before the big game" Finn says making me roll my eyes at him.
"Seriously" I say shaking my head.
"Easy to say when you're the star quarterback" Tina says.
"This isn't just about me, this is about the team" Finn says.
"You are such a hypocrite" Santana says to Finn.
"Like you even know what the means" Sunshine says.
"It means that your boyfriend is full of crap, hobbit" Santana says to Sunshine. Oh boy, this isn't going to end well.
"You know what? Ever since the wedding you've been up my butt and I'm sick of it!" Sunshine says in and outburst.
"Come on babe, she's not worth it" Finn says trying to get sunshine to calm down.
"Oh, really? 'Cause that's not what you thought three weeks ago on that motel room" Santana says confessing Finn's betrayal. "That's right Yentl, your sweetheart, he's been lying to you. 'Cause when he told you that he had a late practice three weeks ago, we were totally doing it"
"Okay, enough already!" Mr. Schue exclaims. "No more conversations about this. Or anything. This is our plan for sectionals and that is that" Mr. Schue says putting an end to the discussion. "Mike, Brittany, come on up, let's start choreography"
"Mr. Schue?" I say standing up and walking towards him. "Can you make a choreography where I don't have to make sudden moves?" I asks politely.
"Of course, Rachel" he says smiling.
"Thanks" I say smiling back at him.
The next day after practice I'm at the auditorium practicing the choreography, and it's getting me frustrated because at every turn I do my incision hurts.
"Dammit!" I exclaims as I feel another pull from my incision.
"Rachel, you're okay?" I hear Kurt asks as he walks to the stage.
"Kurt? What are you doing here?" I say confuse.
"I need your help with something? Are you okay? You look like you're in pain" he says as he takes my hand and pull me to the chair next to the piano.
"Yeah, it's just this choreography, it's hard for me because of my incision" I say signing. "But let's not think about it. What do you need me for?" I say looking at him.
"I was hoping you could help me. I've been sitting in my car for over an hour waiting for Karofsky to make a food run. I've been invited to make an audition for a solo" He says excited for the idea.
"Congratulations, that's awesome!" I say happy for him.
"So I thought I could use you expertise. And no one knows how to kill a ballad quite like you" he says making me smile.
"Okay, you got me. What do you have in mind?"
"I've settle on Celine Dion's classic 'My Heart Will Go On'" he says making me lose my smile.
"Oh, no. no, no, no" I say shaking my head.
"No?" he says losing his smile.
"You need something much more personal than that. I mean this is about you. Have you ever fantasize about you own funeral?"
"No" he says looking at me like I'm crazy.
"I do. See Jesse drop at my grave from that pain, and watching him lose in the loss of me" I say picturing it.
"You're insane"
"I think I know the perfect song…" I say. "I'm sure that's in here somewhere" I say pulling out my IPod. "You're free to join if you like"
Rachel:
It won't be easy
You'll think it's strange
When I try to explain how I feel
That I still need your love
After all that I've done
You won't believe me
All you will see
Is a girl you once knew
Although she's dressed up to the nines
At sixes and sevens with you
I had to let it happen
I had to change
Kurt:
Couldn't stay all my life down at heel
Looking out of the window
Staying out of the sun
So I chose freedom
Running around trying everything new
Rachel:
But nothing impressed me at all
I never expected it to
Kurt:
Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
Rachel:
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Kurt:
Don't keep your distance
Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is
Rachel:
I never left you
All through my wild days
Kurt:
My mad existence
Rachel:
I kept my promise
Kurt:
Don't keep your distance
Rachel:
Have I said too much?
Kurt:
There's nothing more I can think of to say to you
But all you have to do
Rachel:
Is look at me to know
Kurt and Rachel:
That every word is
Kurt:
True!
Rachel:
True!
"Ouch" I say grabbing my side feeling a pull at my incision. "That's a downfall of having an incision" I say smiling.
"You're okay?" Kurt asks with a concern voice.
"Yeah, it's just that when I sing elaborated songs or do sudden moves it pulls" I say sitting back down. "Well, I think you have your song"
"Thank you so much" he says getting excited.
"So how did it go?" I asks Kurt trough the phone while walking to Sue's office.
"I didn't go it" he says with a sad voice.
"Kurt, I'm so sorry" I say feeling bad for him.
"It's okay, the Warblers are so different from the New Directions" he says.
"Yeah…" I say standing behind Sue's door. "I have to go, Sue wants to talk to me"
"Okay, talk to you later" he says before hanging up.
"You called?" I say walking in.
"Yeah, have a sit" she say.
"Okay" I say sitting down. "It's this about me no wearing the Cheerios uniform, because I have a doctor's letter that says that I can't use tight clothes"
"Don't worry Barbra. I just wanted to know if you got the new routine on tape for the Cheerios, because now that you can't participate at this year sectionals, i don't have time to come up with a new routine" she says totally of guard.
"Mm… yeah I have it on my house I'll bring it to you tomorrow" I say.
"Okay, then get the hell out of my office"
"Sure couch" I say leaving her office totally confuse.
So after a couple of days of practicing I manage to get the choreography without feeling like I wanted to vomit. So that's a plus.
I've been talking to Jesse this past couple of days and he made me see how much I miss him… and how much I wish he was here to see me perform at regionals, even though I'll not be doing much.
So after 'The Hipsters' and the Warblers performed we have 5 minutes of prep before we had to get on stage, and all of the sudden Sunshine came through the door looking really pissed.
"You told Kurt?" Sunshine asks Finn looking really pissed.
"I don't remember maybe" Finn says looking scared.
"About Finn and Santana?" Mercedes asks. "No I think Rachel and I told him"
"Who told you?" Sunshine asks.
"Me" Quinn says. "I think Brittany told me. Or I think it was Puck"
"Yeah it was me" Puck says nodding.
"I overheard Finn and Santana at the wedding" I say.
"Everyone knew about this but me?" Sunshine asks getting even madder.
"Pretty much" Tina says.
"No one tells you anything because you're like a Lila 2.0" Santana says.
"Look, Sunshine when this all happened I didn't know we were going to be so serious. And fine I shouldn't lie about this but to be honest you're not mad because I cheated, you're mad because it was with Santana" Finn says probably saying what everyone was thinking.
"Enough!" Mr. Schue says walking into our green room. "Listen to yourself! You're supposed to be a team! Work like a team! I don't care if after this you want to tare each other apart but in here we're a family, act like it" he says before the lights began to blink indicating that it was out turn to perform. "Now go out there and make me proud"
"And now for our final performance of the program from McKinley High: the New Directions!"
There was a wave of applause before the music began.
Sam:
Now I've had the time of my life
No, I've never felt like this before
Yes, I swear, it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
Quinn:
Cause I've had the time of my life

Sam:

Now I've finally found someone to stand by me
Quinn:
We saw the writing on the wall
As we felt this magical fantasy
Quinn and Sam:

So we take each other's hand

Mercedes and Santana with New Directions:

As we were performing the first song it was a little hard for me but I manage to pull thru, now I'm just worry about the second half.
Santana (New Directions Girls):
Well, sometimes I go out by myself
And I look across the water (Uh, uh, uh, uh-uh, uh, uh, uh, uh-uh)
And I think of all the things, what you're doin'
And in my head I paint a picture (Uh, uh, uh, uh-uh, uh, uh, uh, uh-uh)
'Cause since I've come on home (Aaahh, aahh)
Well, my body's been a mess (Aaahh, aahh)
And I've missed your ginger hair (Aaahh, aahh)
And the way you like to dress
Santana with New Directions:
Won't you come on over?
Stop making a fool out of me
Why don't you come on over Valerie?
Santana (New Directions):
(Pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa) Valerie-e-e (Why don't you come on over?)
(Pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa) Va-a-lerie yeah (Valerie, Valerie)
(Pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa) Valerie-e-e (Why don't you come on over?)
Santana (New Directions Girls):

(Pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa)
Santana with New Directions:
Why don't you come on over Valerie?
At the end of the song I felt like my abdomen was on fire… I think I shouldn't have performed… I had to get out the stage and take some medication for the pain.
"Hey, you're oaky?" Sam asks me as I take the pills.
"I think this was a mistake… my incision hurts a lot" I say grabbing at my stomach.
"Maybe you should sit down until that all us back" he says while helping me to a chair.
"Thanks" I say signing.
"No problem" he says smiling at me.
"And now this is the moment we've been waiting for… it's a tie! Congratulations! You're both going to Regionals!" the announcer said.
The crowd clapped as Mr. Schue took the trophy and shook hands with the warblers.
"So how are you doing?" Jesse says as we were talking on the phone.
"I'm in so much pain right now, you can't even imagine" I say as I lay in bed.
"Why did you performed if you knew this could of happen?" he asks me.
"Because I didn't wanted to miss it… I really thought that I could do it but the choreography that Mike and Brittany made was so heavy" I say signing.
"Yeah, well now you're in pain because of it" he says reproaching me.
"I'm sorry" I say looking at my hands.
"Hey, you don't have to apologize, I totally understand you… just promise me you'll be careful from now on" he says making me smile.
"I promise… I missed this… us talking like nothing happened" I say.
"So do I" he says.
Here's the next chapter… I was think of making Sam and Rachel an item after Quinn cheats on him but now I don't know anymore, tell me what you think… of course it won't be like forever just for a few weeks… give me you thoughts.
Xoxoxoxo…
