Hey guys, welcome to another chapter of Evans family. I'm sorry for the delay, I don't know what's wrong with me and this story but in order to take the ones to who really love this story out of their misery; I will be typing for this story like crazy to try and finish it. There's 13 chapters left, meaning I'm promising you 13 more chapters. In the last update I said it would be the Grammy chapter, but it's not. I decided not to do it but I will mention whether or no Mercedes won in this chapter, so keep your eyes peeled.
Again I'm sorry for my inconsistence
Enjoy
Xoxo

Aaliyah and Nathan sat in the Salling's basement watching a movie on a Friday night. The next day was Regional's and they decided to spend the night before together. Nathan laded on his back on the couch while Aaliyah laded on top of him with her head on his chest. They were enjoying the classic movie '500 Days of Summer' when Nathan's phone ranged.
"Hello?" he said not looking at the caller id primer.
"Hey son, its me" said Nathan's father.
"Oh hey Dad, what's up?".
"Nothing much, looks like I'm gonna make it to Regional's for you. I was able to rearrange my schedule to come see you. I might be five minutes late because of my flight, but I'll be there" said Nathan's father.
"Awe, Dad you didn't have to do that".
"Of course I did, you're my son. I wanna be at all of your competitions, so I'll be there cheering you on" said his father.
Nathan laughed "Thanks see tomorrow".
"See you tomorrow" said his father.
Nathan hung up the phone and rested his hand on the small of Aaliyah back. "Is your Dad coming tomorrow?" she asked.
"Yeah, he is" he said with a small smile.
"I love that your Dad has been to all of our show choir competitions, win or lose. That's really sweet" she said.
"Yeah, it means a lot to me too since I don't get to see him a lot" he said staring into Aaliyah eyes.
Something told Aaliyah to check the time and when she did the clock said 11:00. It was time for her to go, "I gotta go, its 11:00".
Nathan signed sadly, Aaliyah giggled "Your gonna see me tomorrow" she said.
Nathan pouted "I know but I'm gonna miss you" he said in a baby voice.
"Well if I could stay I would, but you know my parents set an 11:30 curfew. Unless I beg for another reason to be out later".
"Yeah, I know" he said; he then placed a kiss on her lips. "Tell your mom I said congrats on the Grammy" he added.
Aaliyah smiled "I will, I love you".
"I love you too" he said. Aaliyah and Nathan stood up and hugged each other; Aaliyah then got on her tippy toes and kissed her boyfriend on the lips goodbye.

The next day the glee club stood in the lobby of the theater where Regional's was being held. The girls wore gold halter dresses very much like the ones that McKinley's first glee club wore but of course with Aaliyah touch on it; there hair was in high ponytails with curls at the end of the ponytail. The guys wore black dress pants, a black button-up and a gold tie. There were ready to perform and they truly felt confident.
The group of teens stood in the lobby looking at the other glee clubs and predicting how good they would be. Suddenly New Direction Alumni approached them.
"We came to wish you guys luck" said Blaine with a smile.
"I know you guys got it in the bag" added Tina.
"Thanks Mom, were you guys nervous? I mean I'm sure the upperclassmen aren't nervous" said Autumn referring to the six older teens in glee club. "But, I'm not gonna lie. I am" she added.
Rachel smiled "Nerves are normal, we got nervous before every show".
"But you guys will be great" smiled Mercedes.
The glee club nodded and smiled and prayed that everything went well during there performance.
"Soo, is there any chance we can get a sneak peek?" asked Sam.
"Sorry Uncle Sam, our lips are sealed" said Jamie.
"Your gonna have to wait to see" added Summer.
"Well, will be watching. So go kick some ass, okay" smiled Santana
"We will" grinned Aaliyah.
It was now time to perform, the New Directions were second, and they said one last prayer and went out to give the best performance they would. First up was a girls' number.

The whole number was the girls' of glee standing in a line, each being seen by one light coming from behind them. They sung each note to its fullest and when they were done they prepared for the group number.
[ New Directions (Boys):]
Some nights, I stay up cashing in my bad luck
Some nights, I call it a draw
[New Directions (Girls):]
Some nights, I wish that my lips could build a castle
Some nights, I wish they'd just fall off
[ New Directions:]
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for
Oh
What do I stand for? ([New Directions:] Oh whoa!)

I was never one to believe the hype ([New Directions:] Oh whoa!)
Save that for the black and white ([New Directions:] Oh whoa!)
I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked ([New Directions:] Oh)
But here they come again to jack my style
[Blake:]
That's alright
[Aaliyah:]

Stops my bones from wondering just who I, who I
Who I am
Oh, who am I?
Humm, humm
[Aaliyah:]
Who am I? ([Blake:] Ooo)
Who am I?
[ New Directions:]
Well, some nights, I wish that this all would end
Cause I could use some friends for a change
And some nights, I'm scared you'll forget me again
Some nights, I always win ([Jace:] I always win)
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for
Oh
What do I stand for? ([New Directions:] Oh!)

Sorry to leave, mom, I had to go ([New Directions:] Oh whoa!)
Who the heck wants to die alone all dried up in the desert sun? ([New Directions:] Oh)
[Nial:]
My heart is breaking for my sister
And the con that she called "love"
But when I look into my nephews eyes
[Jamie:]
Man, you wouldn't believe
The most amazing things
That can come from
Some terrible lies, yeah, ah woah!
[Jamie:]
Oh! ([Leslie:] Ah, yeah, ah)

It's for the best we get our distance
[ New Directions:]
Oh,
Oh whoa!
Oh whoa!

Throughout the whole song it was the New Directions overlapped each other and sung with great pride, there choreography consisted of marching and a lot of military type moves. They ended with a strong pose and soon they went walking off the stage. The New Direction watched the other glee club and soon they were all in the lobby waiting for the results.
"You guys were great" said Quinn appearing next to the new direction along with the other Alumni.
"Agree, I gotta say you guy got in the bag" added Rachel with a smile.
"Thanks, it means a lot coming from you guys" said Leslie
"No problem, were always willing to help out the glee club. It's the reason why all of us are who we are today" said Blaine.
"And you guys turned out great" appeared .
He smiled "You guys were great, I couldn't have been better" he said talking to his glee club about their performance.
"Thanks " Jamie
"Alright, you guys performed you know what to go do" he said.
"Go wish the other teams luck" groaned Blake.
"That's right; all of the choirs have something in common, their love for music and were all the same. Now let's go be good sports" said .
The teens walked off and went to go be good competitors to the other choirs. Soon it was time for the awarding ceremony. All the choirs stood on the stage and waited for the results, third and second were called and it wasn't the New Directions. There were two school, the New Direction held hand tight as they waited for their name to be called for 1st place.
"And the winners are….Ohio's New Direction"
The New Direction jumped, screamed, and cheered, they had won. They were going to Nationals; they were in the running to be National Champions. They did it, they won.

After coming off stage everyone was still high on life as they continued to cheer about their success, in the lobby Nathan's mom approached Aaliyah and Nathan; she looked like she had been crying.
"Hey Mom, did you see us? Where's Dad?" asked Nathan.
Nathan's mother used her tissue to wipe more of her tears as she took a deep breath to tell Nathan the awful news.
"Nathan…" she said with a shaky voice. She took a deep breath before saying the next part "Your father was in a plane crash….he's gone" she said.
Everything from there on out seemed to freeze, everyone voice was a echo in Nathan's mind, in the moment he had no feeling or comprehension of anything, he wasn't even sure if this was really happening. He closed his eyes shut and opened them again to still see his mother standing in front of him crying. He then felt a grip on his arm and glanced down to see Aaliyah with tears in her eyes. Suddenly all of Nathan's emotions seem to come at him at once and he began to breath heavy. He was angry, sad, upset, and most of all confused. How did this happen? Nathan than lost control and began to walk out of the building.
"Nathan, wait I don't want you by yourself" said is mother trying to go after him.
Nathan than felt like the incredible hulk and he punched a hole on the wall; Aaliyah ran towards him and pulled him away from the wall. When she saw his face he had tears streaming from his eyes as heavy breaths left his mouth. Aaliyah held him tight as tears streamed from her eyes.
"I'm right here, just hold me" she said.
"I'm right here".
