The Next New Directions Chapter 26 Duets Pt3, a glee fanfic

OH MY GOD! I'm too sorry it's taken so long, but this chapter is long so I hope it makes up for it! I know I said Sunday and I'm sorry, but as you know, I hit my head and concussed myself nearly 2 weeks ago and I only ventured out of my house on Sunday. To add to that I've been finding it hard to sit in front of my computer for too long without feeling kinda sick. And to add to that, the Euro 2012 football games are on and I've been watching them, even if my team (Ireland) lost evey single game. Oh well, the fans kept singing till the very end and made us all very proud! I wasn't expecting any different from them all anyway! Are any of your countries in the Euro's? They have to have done better than last placed Ireland anyway! So anyway, here's Duets Pt3, my longest chapter to date! Enjoy! :)

So here' what you missed on Glee...

Hillary said she was going to kill Una if she looked at Beck again. Kind words, huh? Beck failed his History test and Una basically said she'd kill him if he failed the next. Flynn's been teaching Bella how to speak Irish... sorta... kinda... Not really. Kyle chickened out of telling Daniel he was in love with him because Cristian was there. Do Dalton kids teleport themselves to McKinley like genies whenever they feel like it? Lily and Brian both sung about Rory and Bella in their duet, and Lily said that he and Bella would work it out, even if she's not too convinced she and Rory will. STEPHANIE AND MOLLIE DON'T HATE EACH OTHER ANYMORE! They touched each other... as in hug-touched. That's intense bro. Beck and Flynn are friends again, but Flynn told him not to break Una's heart, which is kinda weird because they're not even together. But clearly Hillary must think they are because to congratulate them on their duet, she tried her hand at ripping Una's face off.

And thats what you missed on...

GLEE!

The next morning, Bella found Brian sitting by the bleachers. She walked slowly towards him and sat beside him cautiously.

"Hey." she greeted simply, folding her hands into her lap. He looked up.

"Hiya." he replied quietly.

"I'm sorry." she mumbled. He looked up at her and raised his eyebrows.

"Why? What did you do?" he asked. She sighed.

"I was too over protective of you, it was stupid of me really." she shrugged. But that wasn't what she was really sorry for...

She wasn't really sure why she had kissed Flynn. Maybe it was because he understood how she felt. She regretted it afterwards, and she was pretty sure he did too. Brian was unknowing to this however and smiled.

"You shouldn't be sorry, I over reacted." he mumbled. She smiled.

"Well... That's all I wanted to say." she lied. No she didn't. She wanted to beg him to take her back and to forget all their problems and-

"I still love you, yano?" he sighed. She smiled.

"Well thank God for that." she laughed, draping her arms around his neck and kissing him softly.

"Brella is back..." he grinned afterwards, making her giggle as they walked hand in hand back inside.

O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O

Una wasn't too sure why everyone had reacted so harshly to Hillary nearly swiping her cheek off. She's been hit harder before. Way harder. As in angry Irish woman slaps. Or angry Irish men...

No. She wasn't going back there again.

Hillary had somehow managed to dig her long nails into Una's cheek, leaving quite a few faint scars. In fairness, Faith had probably done more damage to the cheerleader herself after she chased her out of the choir room and had come back a few minutes later breathing heavily with her fists clenched.

"How is your cheek?" asked a familiar voice behind the locker door. Una closed it.

"Been better, but been far worse too." she shrugged. He sighed.

"I'm so sorry, that was my fault." mumbled Beck. She rolled her eyes and patted his shoulder.

"Don't be sorry, it's not your fault Hillary's a complete control freak, not to mention a bitch." she smirked. He didn't smile back.

"She had no right. And I blame myself." he muttered.

"Oh stop! I've been hit harder, the marks will be gone soon!" she tutted, turning to walk to Geography.

"I'll make it up to you!" he called after her, grinning. She turned around, smirked and nodded before continuing on her way.

O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O

"So you're still up for tonight?" questioned Faith, approaching Stephanie on her way to Maths. Stephanie nodded.

"Yup. Around 8?" she smiled. Faith sighed.

"Yeah... I'm sorry about this..." she muttered.

"Oh don't be silly! I'm looking forward to it!" laughed Stephanie, walking in step with her.

"You don't have to lie to make me feel better yano." smirked Faith, rolling her eyes. Stephanie chuckled.

"Well Hillary didn't lie when she nearly ripped Una's head off yesterday and you looked like you were gonna murder her." she grinned. Faith laughed.

"Bitch deserved it. No one messes with my friends." she growled then, standing in the door. Stephanie giggled.

"I love how serious you get about it. Una said it wasn't that bad anyway." she smiled.

"Yeah but still. Has she said anything to you yet?"

"Hillary? No. I haven't seen her around anywhere." shrugged Stephanie. Faith nodded.

"Okay... And I'm sorry about tonight. Again." she sighed.

"Oh be quiet silly I don't mind! It'll be fine!" chuckled Stephanie. Faith smiled slightly.

"Thanks..." she replied, turning on her heel and walking into the room to Humphries screeching already.

O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O

I have climbed highest mountain
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you

Faith began the song, smiling at Stephanie. Rory continued, trying not to look at Lily:

I have run
I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you

Faith then joined in with him:

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

Rory continued:

I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her fingertips
It burned like fire
This burning desire

Faith continued:

I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone

They sang together again:

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

Faith continued:

I believe in the kingdom come
Then all the colors will bleed into one
Bleed into one
Well yes I'm still running

Rory continued:

You broke the bonds and you
Loosed the chains
Carried the cross
Of my shame
Of my shame
You know I believed it

They sang together again for the final part of the song.

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for...

The glee club clapped and cheered. It was perfect, Rory loved U2 and Faith liked that kind of music.

"Job well done guys, job well done." smiled Will. The kids watched the blonde Cheerio walk through the door. Hillary.

"I just wanted to say-"

"Get out." snapped Flynn, sitting on the far side of Bella, Brian on her other side.

"I'm sorry, alright. I flipped and I'm sorry Una. I shouldn't have hit you." she whispered.

"Apology accepted." shrugged Una.

"Oh come on! She nearly ripped your face off Una!" exclaimed Beck, glaring at the blonde. Una rolled her eyes.

"Yeah, but she said sorry."

"Not genuinely..." muttered Daniel from the back row next to Faith.

"And when Beck joined you hated him for no reason, unlike Barbie who slapped you and got away with it..." mumbled Patrick.

"That was different." snapped Una.

"How?" replied Beck.

"It just was." she tutted.

"Look, you used to hate me, lets leave that out, but she hit you hard Una and you forgive her just like that?" he snapped.

"I don't need you to stand up for me." she muttered, folding her arms and looking away.

"I know you don't, but just wake up and realise that she's not done with you yet."

"Hello? I'm still here?" tutted Hillary.

"Yeah, sorry. You can leave now." shrugged Una. Hillary narrowed her eyes.

"Excuse me?"

"Were you expecting to stay?" snapped Lily.

"Well I-"

"Hillary, I might have forgiven you but that doesn't mean we're gonna get along. In fact we're never gonna get along and we both know that." replied Una. Hillary rolled her eyes.

"Well I guess Beck was right, this isn't over." she snapped, turning on her heel.

"What are you gonna do? Hit me again?"

"Watch yourself Donnelly. That mouth of yours will get you into trouble one day." smirked Hillary.

"Oh it already has. But I've managed to sort it all out someway or another." winked Una, making Hillary glare and storm off. Will coughed.

"Oh... Kay... Next?" he smiled. Daniel and Mary raised their hands and made their way to the front. Daniel began the song:

It's been a long time since I came around
Been a long time but I'm back in town
This time I'm not leaving without you
You taste like whiskey when you kiss me, oh
I'd give anything again to be your baby doll
This time I'm not leaving without you

Mary continued:

You said sit back down where you belong
In the corner of my bar with your high heels on
Sit back down on the couch where we
Made love the first time and you said to me this

They sang together:

Something, something about this place
Something 'bout lonely nights and my lipstick on your face
Something, something about my cool Nebraska guy
Yeah something about, baby, you and I

Mary continued on in the second verse:

It's been two years since I let you go,
I couldn't listen to a joke or rock 'n roll
Muscle cars drove a truck right through my heart
On my birthday you sang me a heart of gold
With a guitar humming and no clothes
This time I'm not leaving without you
Ooh-oh ooh-oh

Daniel continued:

Sit back down where you belong
In the corner of my bar with your high heels on
Sit back down on the couch where we
Made love the first time and you said to me this

Mary joined in with him and they sung together:

Something, something about this place
Something 'bout lonely nights and my lipstick on your face
Something, something about my cool Nebraska guy
Yeah something about, baby, you and I

Daniel continued:

You and I
You, you and I
You, you and I
You, you and I, I
You and I
You, you and I
Oh yeah!
I'd rather die
Without you and I

C'mon!
Put your drinks up!

They sang together:

We got a whole lot of money, but we still pay rent
'Cause you can't buy a house in Heaven
There's only three men that I'm a serve my whole life
It's my daddy and Nebraska and Jesus Christ

Mary took over:

Something, something about the chase
Six whole years
I'm a New York woman, born to run you down
So have my lipstick all over your face
Something, something about just knowing when it's right
So put your drinks up for Nebraska
For Nebraska, Nebraska, I love you

They sang together until the end, grinning at each other.

You and I
You, you and I
Baby, I rather die!
Without you and I

You and I
You, you and I
Nebraska, I rather die
Without you and I

It's been a long time since I came around
Been a long time but I'm back in town
This time I'm not leaving without you.

The whole glee club clapped and cheered as Daniel and Mary bowed and sat down. Will smiled.

"That was awesome you guys! Now, who's up next?" he asked. Artie raised his hand.

"We're not singing together. No way." he tutted, glaring at Sugar who rolled her eyes.

"Artie this is the 2nd duet assignment you've pulled out of in 4 years? Why?" asked Will.

"She's impossible to work with! I refuse!" he replied. Sugar tutted.

"Oh puh-lease! He wouldn't even listen to me!" she snapped. Artie laughed loudly.

"Excuse me? All you ever did was talk about how your shoes were too small or you should have bought that top at the mall, how was I suppose to listen?" he yelled.

"Okay! Enough... Anyone, actually gonna sing a duet now?" asked Will tiredly. Tina and Kyle smiled at each other and raised their hands. Will beckoned them to the front. Kyle started:

On the other side of a street I knew
Stood a girl that looked like you
I guess that's déjà vu
But I thought this can't be true
'Cause you moved to west LA
Or New York or Santa Fe
Or wherever to get away from me

Tina continued:

Oh but that one night
Was more than just right
I didn't leave you 'cause I was all through
Oh I was overwhelmed and frankly scared as hell
Because I really fell for you

They sang together:

Oh I swear to you
I'll be there for you
This is not a drive by
Just a shy guy looking for a two-ply
Hefty bag to hold my love
When you move me everything is groovy
They don't like it sue me
Mmm the way you do me
Oh I swear to you
I'll be there for you
This is not a drive by

Kyle continued:

On the upside of a downward spiral
My love for you went viral
And I loved you every mile you drove away
But now here you are again
So let's skip the "how you been"
And get down to the "more than friends" at last

Tina continued:

Oh but that one night
Is still the highlight
I didn't need you until I came to
And I was overwhelmed and frankly scared as hell
Because I really fell for you

They sang together again:

Please believe that when I leave
There's nothing up my sleeve but love for you
And a little time to get my head together too

Kyle continued:

On the other side of a street I knew
Stood a girl that looked like you
I guess that's déjà vu
But I thought this can't be true
'Cause

They sang together one last time:

The glee club clapped and cheered again as Tina and Kyle hugged each other quickly and sat down. Will smiled, standing up.

"Thanks guys, that was really awesome! One more then, Stephanie and Patrick?" he beamed. Patrick rolled his eyes on the way down from the second row.

"Well she picked the song." he shrugged, gaining a couple of chuckles. Stephanie glared at him as the music started. She began the song:

It doesn't matter if you love him or capital H-I-M
Just put your paws up
'Cause you were born this way, baby

My mama told me when I was young
We are all born superstars
She rolled my hair and put my lipstick on
In the glass of her boudoir

Patrick continued:

There's nothin' wrong with lovin' who you are
She said, 'cause He made you perfect, babe
So hold your head up, girl and you you'll go far
Listen to me when I say

They sang together:

I'm beautiful in my way
'Cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way

Don't hide yourself in regret
Just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way, born this way

Ooh, there ain't no other way, baby, I was born this way
Baby, I was born this way
Ooh, there ain't no other way, baby, I was born this way
I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way

Don't be a drag, just be a queen
Don't be a drag, just be a queen
Don't be a drag, just be a queen
Don't be

Stephanie continued:

Give yourself prudence and love your friends
Subway kid, rejoice of truth
In the religion of the insecure
I must be myself, respect my youth

Patrick continued:

A different lover is not a sin
Believe capital H-I-M
I love my life, I love this record and
Mi amore vole fe yah

They sang together again:

I'm beautiful in my way,
'Cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way

Don't hide yourself in regret,
Just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way

Ooh, there ain't no other way, baby, I was born this way
Baby, I was born this way
Ooh, there ain't no other way, baby, I was born this way
I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way

Stephanie continued:

Don't be drag, just be a queen
Whether you're broke or evergreen
You're black, white, beige, chola descent
You're Lebanese, you're orient

Patrick continued:

Whether life's disabilities
Left you outcast, bullied or teased
Rejoice and love yourself today
'Cause baby, you were born this way

They sang together again:

No matter gay, straight or bi
Lesbian, transgendered life
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born to survive

No matter black, white or beige
Chola or orient made
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born to be brave

I'm beautiful in my way
'Cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way

Don't hide yourself in regret,
Just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way, yeah

The whole club jumped up and danced around the choir room together and it seemed the drama from before Sectionals had evaporated and they were finally getting back on track as they all sung together:

Ooh, there ain't no other way, baby, I was born this way
Baby, I was born this way
Ooh, there ain't no other way, baby, I was born this way
I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way
I was born this way, hey
I was born this way, hey
I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way, hey

I was born this way, hey
I was born this way, hey
I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way, hey

They all clapped and laughed together as they final bell of the day went, their weekends screaming at them from the schools front doors.

O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O

Flynn sat in the back of the Pierces car on the way home, barely listening to Rory and Una, who was also coming over, talk about what he believe to be rugby. Why did he kiss Bella? Even when he knew that she was still crazy about Brian? He thought back to the moment...

flashback...

Bella laughed, sitting on the desk in the empty room 25 as Flynn rambled on in the language she didn't half understand.

"Agus chuaigh mé, Rory agus Una go dtí on pairc peile agus bhí Rory fearg mar bhí mise agus Una án-mhaith ag imirt peil ach bhí Rory measartha." he grinned, babbling away in Irish.

"I only got Rory and Una out of that?" she giggled. He grinned.

"I shall translate then, Miss America," he smirked. "'And me and Rory and Una went to the football pitch and Rory was angry because me and Una were very good at playing football but he was average.'" he added, inserting quotation marks over the speech. Bella smiled.

"Ah... well I'm not that far yet." she shrugged.

"You'll get there. I know you will." he smiled. She chuckled.

"And will you help me?" she asked quietly.

"Do you need to ask?" he replied. And then he kissed her...

end of flashback...

"Hello? Earth calling Flynnie?" smirked Rory, waving his hand in front of Flynn's face.

"What?" he mumbled in reply. Una swatted the older boys arm away and patted Flynn's lap.

"What's wrong?" she asked, knowing the difference between Flynn being quiet and Flynn being troubled.

"Nothing." he replied.

"Liar." snapped Rory, grinning from ear to ear.

"Shut up and let me talk to him." replied Una, turning back to face Flynn after her death glare at Rory.

"It's seriously nothing." shrugged Flynn.

"We might look stupid but we're not." chuckled Una.

"Hey, don't hate! We're Irish, don't mean we're dumb!" added Rory. Flynn smiled.

"Drop it." he muttered.

"We'll pester you till you tell us now GO!" replied Rory. Flynn wailed, making the two others jump and Mrs Pierce look through narrowed eyes into the rear view mirror.

"Maybe we should drop it." whispered Una.

"I KISSED BELLA!" screamed Flynn, banging his head against the window pane. Rory and Una looked at each other.

"That's it?" smirked Rory. Flynn nodded.

"Before she got back with Brian I presume?" questioned Una. Flynn nodded again.

"Then don't worry, you made a mistake. She's probably forgotten all about it." smiled Rory. Una nodded in agreement.

"I hope you two are right." whispered Flynn, staring out the window as Rory and Una went back to their previous argument.

O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O

As Kyle made his way out of the school building, he noticed a smaller girl fall into step with him.

"Hey Mary." he smiled lightly, holding the door open for her.

"Hey, thanks." she replied, continuing to walk beside him.

"So... How have you been?" he asked. She smiled.

"Good... well, fine. You?" she replied. He nodded.

"Okay. And how are the 2 love birds? I'm surprised you and Daniel even got to sing together today, that Cristian guy has been like a cat trying to get attention from an owner lately, have you noticed?" grinned Kyle. Mary rolled her eyes.

"He was always there. But it's obvious he adores Daniel." she shrugged. Kyle sighed quietly. 'So do I...' he thought to himself.

"Had to get annoying though, yeah?" he smiled. Mary nodded.

"I just felt like he was contradicting what I was saying, even if he didn't say anything." she mumbled. Kyle smiled.

"Oh well... Duets are over now." he shrugged.

"Yep... Hey, Kyle? About us..."

"Yeah... I thought we needed to talk about this." he smiled.

"I really, really don't want to fall out with you. You're a pretty awesome dude if I do say so myself." she grinned. He chuckled.

"Thanks, you're not so bad either."

"But it's clear you adore Daniel just as much as Cristian does." she smiled quietly. Kyle's eyes widened.

"How did you-"

"I'm not stupid Kyle. And I reckon he doesn't hate you as much as you think he does. You just took to long to make up your mind." she shrugged. He sighed.

"I'm sorry you got dragged into everything." he mumbled.

"Hey, I nearly knocked myself up with Beck's baby and if Hillary had found out about that then I reckon I'd get more than a slap across the face! I need to go through hard things to make myself for the future. We all do." she replied. He nodded.

"Thanks Mezzie." he smiled, opening his squeaky garden gate.

"Anytime kiddo, anytime."

O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O

"LILY! DINNERS READY!" screeched Holly, one half of the twins. Lily made her way downstairs as her mother, Brianna, arrived in the hall.

"Holly, I asked you to tell Lily to come for dinner. I could have shouted myself." she sighed. Holly rolled her eyes.

"Whatever." she muttered as Brianna walked back for the kitchen. Lily glared at the 8 year old, gaining her a rather hard kick in the ankles as Holly skipped off.

In the kitchen, Lily smiled at the smell of pasta as she sat next to her father. Harry was a quiet man, and instead of involving himself in any arguments the twins picked with Lily, he hid behind his newspaper while waiting for his wife to serve his food.

"So how was school today girls?" asked Brianna, leaving a bowl in front of Lily.

"Okay." shrugged Holly, stabbing a fork into her food.

"Fine." added Marissa, the second twin, her mouth full.

"Lily?" smiled Brianna, sitting down with her own bowl.

"Cool. Glee club was fun." she shrugged.

"And what did you sing this week?" asked Harry quietly.

"Oh some rock song that Brian liked. We were duet partners." she replied. Brianna narrowed her eyes.

"And what about Rory?" she asked. Lily bit her tongue in shock as Harry's head shot up.

"Who's Rory?" he asked. Holly and Marissa grinned at each other before turning and gazing up at their father, horribly fake angelic faces present on them.

"Lily's boyfriend of course." smiled Marissa.

"Didn't you know?" added Holly. Lily's eyes swelled with tears. Not because she was upset, but because she could feel her tongue throbbing in pain. Harry looked across the table at his wife who seemed to realise what she'd said now.

"And when did you ladies plan on telling me this?" he asked the table, but focusing on Lily and Brianna.

"I... uh... I..." stuttered Brianna.

"I doesn't matter now because we broke up." snapped Lily, standing up.

"You haven't finished?" questioned Brianna.

"I'm not hungry." shrugged Lily, storming out. All she heard before she slammed her bedroom door was 'BUT PASTA IS YOUR FAVOURITE!'.

O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O

Patrick knocked on the Dunce's front door at almost 8 o'clock. Stephanie answered, looking as if she was just about to leave herself, all dressed up in what looked like a new dress and a pair of heels.

"Hey." he smiled. She grinned, fitting her earring into her ear.

"Hi, I was just on my way out, are you coming in?" she asked. He nodded and stepped inside as she threw her coat on.

"Is Mollie around?" he asked. Stephanie smirked.

"She's in the living room, first door on the right." she nodded.

"Thanks, you're going somewhere with Faith?" he smiled.

"Yeah. Anyway, I'm off. Keep it PG bro!" she grinned. He rolled his eyes.

"We're just friends!" he insisted.

"With benefits!" she added quickly before slamming the door behind her. He rolled his eyes once more before knocking on the door Stephanie had instructed.

"Yeah?" came Mollies familiar voice.

"Hiya, it's only me. Stephanie said it was okay." he replied, opening the door. Mollie smiled from her place on the couch.

"Yeah it's fine, sit down. Are you alright?" she asked as he sat carefully in an armchair. He sighed and she raised her eyebrows.

"Yeah... fine..." he mumbled. Mollie stifled a laugh.

"Uh... I don't mean to sound rude buddy, but uh... what are you doing here?" she smirked. Patrick glared at her, but the glare softened to a grin.

"I... um... we're pretty good friends... aren't we?" he asked. She nodded slowly.

"I guess so..." she shrugged.

"So um-"

"We're just pretty good friends though." she clarified. Patrick swallowed heavily and nodded quickly before jumping up.

"Yeah, yeah of course!" he beamed falsely and over-enthusiastically, practically running for the door.

"Are you going already?" she asked. He gulped, his hand on the door handle.

"Well, yeah. I was just... I'm late for something, I gotta go." he rambled quickly, flinging the door open and running out of the house and as far as he could down the street, leaving Mollie confused and concered at the freshmans behaviour.

O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O

"So Stephanie... you're a cheerleader I'm told?" smiled Mrs Connors, her and her husband sitting opposite the two teenage girls. Stephanie smiled and nodded.

"Yeah, I have been since freshman year." she confirmed. Mr Connors smiled.

"It's not like our Faith to even notice a girl like you." he chuckled. Faith blushed as Stephanie laughed lightly.

"That's glee club I guess." she shrugged, still smiling.

"Yes, we've noticed a wonderful difference in Faith since she joined. Truly remarkable." agreed Mrs Connors.

"Oh definitely. She always talks about her friends and her assigments and what they did that day." smiled Mr Connors.

"Jeez, you're talking to her like she's my teacher and I'm the damn five year old." smirked Faith. They all laughed.

"And have you told your parents yet Stephanie?" asked Mrs Connors. Stephanie gulped and dodged the question.

"About what?" she smiled

"Well... About your and Faith's relationship?" asked Mrs Connors. Stephanie shook her head.

"No... Not yet." she mumbled quietly as she went back to her plate of food. Faith parents knew that they'd hit a nerve and all went quiet for a while. Faith winced at the awkward silence.

"So anyone been watching Teen Mom lately?" she shrugged, breaking the silence. Three heads turned to look at her as she chuckled.

"What?" questioned Mrs Connors.

"Just trying to make conversation! No one? Alright then how about 16 and Pregnant?" she asked. Stephanie giggled.

"Keeping up With The Kardashians?" she smirked.

"Ugh... don't mention that name at this table or I'll ask you to leave Dunce." replied Faith in mock disgust, making the girl laugh. The dinner continued on for a while longer until the girls met up in the bathrooms.

"So...?" smiled Stephanie.

"They love you, I can see it." beamed Faith. They hugged each other tightly.

"I told you'd it'd be fine." smiled Stephanie, as they left to go back into the dining room.

O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O

Daniel sat in his room, all quiet in the apartment, his mom had gone out for the night. He was checking Facebook when a new chat popped up. Kyle.

Kyle Yang: We need to talk!

Daniel Adams: When

Daniel was sick of the boy, he wasn't going to treat him to any full stops or exclamation marks for that matter.

Kyle Yang: Now?

Daniel Adams: Can't it wait?

Okay, he'd give in to a question mark...

Kyle Yang: No, it's urgent.

Daniel Adams: I'll be over in 20 minutes

It was almost exactly 20 minutes later, 9:15, when Daniel arrived at the house, armed with nothing but himself.

"What was so urgent?" asked Daniel, sitting at the kitchen table. Kyle sighed and sat opposite him.

"I've been trying to tell you all week, but you've had that thing hanging out of you." he sighed.

"Who, Mary?" asked Daniel.

"No, Cristian." replied Kyle, cringing at the sound of his name.

"What's your problem with him anyway?" snapped Daniel, glaring at the boy across the table. Kyle took a deep breath and thought about what he was going to say. What did he have to lose?

"I'm jealous of him, alright? There, I've learned my lesson, now for God's sake dump him and stop acting like you actually love him." replied Kyle. Daniel chuckled and rolled his eyes.

"You just don't seem to get it, do you?" he sighed. Kyle raised an eyebrow.

"What?" he asked.

"If you hadn't spent so long making up your mind and acting like a complete ass, then you wouldn't be where you are now. If you'd just manned up and been true to yourself then you wouldn't be so unhappy... then we wouldn't be having this conversation. We'd be off on a date at the movies, or at the bowling alley, or at Breadsticks. But you couldn't make your mind up like everybody else. And that's why you're as unhappy as I was." ranted Daniel, before standing up and storming out of the house, leaving Kyle with much to think about over what promised to be a stormy weekend for the members of the glee club.

Oh. Kay. I'm tired. 5 hours in front of a laptop screen can't be healthy. I'll try and get you a new chapter ASAP, but I need a lie down after all that. And the thought of my exams results coming out on Friday is eating me alive! D'you reckon I passed my Irish exams? Flynn sure would ;)... So next weeks assignment will be Top 40. So check out the charts and pick a song as as per usual, I'll pick a select few so we're not smothered with lyrics like the last few chapters (it was duets, what could I do?) So get them into me now so I can spread them around the 3 chapters instead of cramming them into 2. So songs this chapter:

Rory and Faith: U2- Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For

Daniel and Mary: Lady GaGa- You and I

Kyle and Tina: Train- Drive By

Patrick and Stephanie: Lady GaGa- Born This Way.

So thanks for all your help these last few chapters, thanks for all the suggestions, especially BwayAngel1296! So that's me done for now. Review?

Totally Awesome.

So The Drama.
