-Chapter thirty-seven-Lets duet-
-Rachel pov-
Today has been a boring day. I wanna do the duet but have no one for it. Sugar got the solo yesterday thankfully. I didn't try out because I wanted her to get it.
She deserves the spotlight so much. I honestly have just been in my head thinking a lot. I've been thinking about what I want in my future. What type of future I would like.
I want a nice home, a pet or two, kids, and a nice career. I don't dream of Broadway anymore. I dream of birthdays and holidays filled with smiles. I don't even dream of that glorious Tony award.
I just want to be happy with Sugar.
"Hey Rachel?" I jump and turn to see Tina "You ok? I was gonna ask you something but you seem to be thinking"
"Hey Tina" I sigh and look at the library table "I don't think I want Broadway anymore"
"Really?" I nod and keep my eyes trained on the table "Why aren't you looking at me?"
"I don't wanna see the pity" I sigh "It's not because of depression or anything...I just..I just"
"Want a family instead?" I nod and look up to see a smile on her face "You can do whatever you want to do Rachel"
I return a small smile back "Thanks" I look at the table sugar is at with some flirty Cheerios "I just wish I knew if she would be ok with it"
"She loves you" I look back at Tina and see her smiling "You love her too and I know you two will be fine"
"Thanks" I look at the time and stand up "I gotta get back to class"
"Of course" Tina stands up "I got a book I need to check out"
"Alright" I start to walk away but stop "You said you had a question?"
"It's nothing" Tina starts walking away "Bye Rach!"
"Bye!" I turn toward the door with a smile "She loves me"
I don't need Broadway when I have her love.
-Sugar pov-
I watch Tina walk to the spot and stand up. I say goodbye to the Cheerios and walk over. I needed someone Rachel wouldn't suspect to talk about private things.
"There you are" Tina gives me a nod "What did she say?"
"That she may not want to do Broadway anymore" We are back on that again? "She said her dreams have changed"
"Changed?" Tina nods "Did she say what to?"
"She wants a family" Tina smiles "I think she wants to be a at home mom"
"She doesn't want a Tony anymore" Tina nods "Why would she change like that?"
"She has someone she loves" Tina starts walking away "Love can change your point of view"
She had nothing before recent. Broadway was the only way she could be close to her mom and get attention. Now she has her mom and me. She finally has a family and love.
I walk out of the library with a huge smile on my face.
-Time skip-Rachel pov-
I finally get a solo partner a bit ago. It's a bit out there honestly. I never thought we would sing together. I never really thought how our voices would go.
I mean we did sing together but she vomited on me. I hope Brittany isn't drunk right now. If she is I might be screwed. I really don't want to be colored.
Right now, the club is filing in. When mom walks i know we are starting. Time to get ready Rachel. You and Brittany have this.
"Alright" Mom claps and looks out "Who's up first?"
"Us!" Brittany holds her hand up "We are!"
"Who is us?" I hold up my hand "Oh! This is a surprising group!"
"We will be good" I stand up and walk to the front with Brittany "We are ready"
-Rachel-Brittany-Both-
I know a place
Where the grass is really greener
Warm, wet and wild
There must be something in the water
Sippin' gin and juice
Laying underneath the palm trees (undone)
The boys break their necks
Tryna creep a little sneak peek (at us)
You could travel the world
But nothing comes close
To the golden coast
Once you party with us
You'll be falling in love
California girls
We're unforgettable
Daisy Dukes
Bikinis on top
Sun-kissed skin
So hot
We'll melt your popsicle
California girls
We're undeniable
Fine, fresh, fierce
We got it on lock
West Coast represent
Now put your hands up
Sex on the beach
We don't mind sand in our stilettos
We freak in my Jeep
Snoop Doggy Dogg on the stereo
You could travel the world
But nothing comes close
To the golden coast
Once you party with us
You'll be falling in love
California girls
We're unforgettable
Daisy Dukes
Bikinis on top
Sun-kissed skin so hot
We'll melt your popsicle
California girls
We're undeniable
Fine, fresh, fierce
We got it on lock
West Coast represent
(West Coast)
Now put your hands up
Toned, tan, fit and ready
Turn it up 'cause it's gettin' heavy
Wild Wild West Coast
These are the girls I love the most
I mean the ones
I mean like she's the one
Kiss her, touch her, squeeze her buns
The girl's a freak
She drive a Jeep
And live on the beach
I'm okay
I won't play
I love the bait
Just like I love LA
Venice Beach and Palm Springs
Summertime is everything
Homeboys
Bangin' out
All that ass hangin' out
Bikinis, zucchinis
Martinis, no weenies
Just the King and the Queeny

We got it on lock
West Coast represent
(West Coast, West Coast)
Now put your hands up
(California, California girls)
California girls, man
(California, California girls)
Everyone claps and I see four jaws dropped. My mom is the first to come back to earth. When I get to my seat I'm pulled into sugar. I gives her a confused look and see her glaring.
I follow the glare to Brittany. Oh I made her jealous. Jealous Sugar is hot honestly. I can't wait to use this later.
"Uhh well" Mom looks at the club "Anyone else?"
Santana and Quinn slowly stand up. They walk up and nod to the band. They still seem a bit shaken. I didn't know I had this power.
-Santana-Quinn-Both-
A chair is still a chair
Even when there's no one sittin' there
But a chair is not a house
And a house is not a home
When there's no one there to hold you tight
And no one there you can kiss goodnight
Woah girl
A room is a still a room
Even when there's nothin' there but gloom
But a room is not a house
And a house is not a home
When the two of us are far apart
And one of us has a broken heart
Now and then I call your name
And suddenly your face appears
But it's just a crazy game
When it ends, it ends in tears
Pretty little darling, have a heart
Don't let one mistake keep us apart
I'm not meant to live alone
Turn this house into a home
When I climb the stairs and turn the key
Oh, please be there
Sayin' that you're still in love with me, yeah
I'm not meant to live alone
Turn this house into a home
I climb the stairs and turn the key
Oh, please be there, still in love
I said, still in love, still in love with me, yeah
Are you gonna be in love with me?
I want you and need you to be, yeah
Still in love with me
Say you're gonna be in love with me
It's drivin' me crazy to think
That my baby couldn't be still in love with me
Are you gonna be? Say you're gonna be
Are you gonna be? Say you're gonna be
Are you gonna be? Say you're gonna be
Well well, well well
Still in love, so in love, still in love with me
Are you gonna be?
Say that you're gonna be
Still in love with me, yeah
With me, oh
Still in love with me, yeah
We all clap and I will admit they did great. They slowly make their way back to their seats. I don't miss the glares I get from them. I have the power to make people jealous.
I love this so much!
"Anyone else?" When no one raises their hand my mom sighs "Ok so I have to pick daughter and girlfriend or two girlfriends"
"I mean we could vote" Cherry looks around "Right?"
"Agreed!" Mom smiles "Thank you!"
Everyone gets a piece of paper and writes their votes. The tryouts didn't get a paper to vote on. After a few minutes mom has them all. She groans and I smile.
She didn't think this through.
"The winners by voting are" Mom sighs and goes on "Quinn and Santana"
"That's acceptable" I feel confused eyes on me "What?"
"Nothing" Sugar pulls me into her "It's nothing at all love"
I smile and nestle into her. I don't really pay attention till we are dismissed. When we walk out I hold hands with sugar and smile. This is really nice honestly.
Definitely better than some dumb trophy. This is what I want in the future. I want her and some kids. I want a future with no regrets.
I hope that she sticks around for it.
