-Chapter 11-Broadway wants you-
-Rachel pov-
"This is not working Blaine!" I groan and look over the script "You need to get someone else! She just can not act very well!"
"You think I do not realize this?" I glare at him and he rolls his eyes "Look I am sorry but we have to get this in today! I know Kayla has little talent but she is all that we have! We kick her we lose her twin too and we both do not know twins that can sing and..dance"
"They both can sing and dancing can be taught" I quickly pull out my phone "This is going to be perfect! We are getting the show back!"
"Remind me why we need twins?" I raise a eyebrow at Blaine and he holds his hand up "Understudy looks alike I remember!"
I nod and send off the texts. This is going to be wonderful! I can not wait for them to sing for us! I bet they will just sound great!
-Time skip-(Lyrics from genius)-
[MARLEY]
Something has changed within' me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by the rules of someone else's game
[KARA]
Too late for second guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes and leap
[MARLEY & KARA]
It's time to try defying gravity
I think I'll try defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye, I'm defying gravity
And you won't bring me down
[MARLEY]
I'm through accepting limits
'Cause someone says they're so
[KARA]
Some things I cannot change
But till I try, I'll never know
[MARLEY]
Too long I've been afraid of
[KARA]
Losing love I guess I've lost
[MARLEY & KARA]
Well, if that's love, it comes at much too high a cost
[MALREY & KARA]
I'd sooner buy defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye, I'm defying gravity
I think I'll try defying gravity
And you won't bring me down
I'd sooner buy defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye, I'm defying gravity
I think I'll try defying gravity
And you won't bring me down
Bring me down
Ohhh...
"THAT WAS AMAZING!" I run up and hug them both "You two are phenomenal! You will get us so many awards! You will sell out seats! You look less enthusiastic than I am! Why are you less enthusiastic?!"
"Because I am not doing Broadway" I look at Kara with wide eyes "I just do not see myself out there"
"Come on I need you!" She frowns and shakes her head before walking away "Then..then I will tell everyone!"
"What?" I pull out my phone and show video of her using her powers "You would not...why?"
"Rachel this is too far!" I look at Blaine as he comes up onto the stage "She does not have to do this!"
"We need someone Blaine!" I can feel the tears forming in my eyes "I can not keep failing! I failed as a wife, I am failing as a teacher, I failed on Broadway after my Tony, and now I am going to fail reviving Wicked for a full tour! I am a failure Blaine!"
"Failure give up" I turn and look at Kara "Failures do not keep trying unlike you so just remember that"
I watch Kara leave and fall to my knees "I am a failure of a friend" I curl into a ball as a sob breaks out "I am the worst"
"May I?" I hear a silent discussion then silence "You know I could say you were a failure like I have multiple times but I think I finally see what it was doing"
"You broke you me" Jesse sighs and I look at him "We were supposed to be the it couple you know"
"I think that is why we broke apart more Rachel" I nod and sit up beside him "You are amazing and talented ok? You will make this work without blackmail"
"You saw?" He nods and I groan "How?"
"We still have a combined ICloud Rach" I groan again and he holds out a NDA "I already signed and have it legalized"
"Thank you" I sign the paper and hand it back to him "This is the nicest we have talked in a long while"
"Agreed" He stands up and holds out his hand "Sing our song with me? One last time"
I smile and nod to his request as I let him help me up.

[RACHEL]
There's a fire
Starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me out the dark
[JESSE]
Finally
I can see you crystal clear
Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your ship bare
[JESSE]
See how I'll leave
With every piece of you
Don't underestimate
The things that I will do
There's a fire
Starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringin' me out the dark
The scars of your love
Remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love
They leave me breathless
I can't help feeling
[JESSE & RACHEL]
We could have had it all, (You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep, (Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand, (You're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it to the beat (Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
[RACHEL]
Baby, I have
No story to be told
But I've heard one on you
And it's gonna make your head burn
[RACHEL]
Think of me in the depths of your despair
Makin'
A home down there as mine sure won't be shared
[JESSE]
The scars of your love
Remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love
They leave me breathless
I can't help feeling
[JESSE & RACHEL]
We could have had it all, (You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep, (Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hands, (You're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it
[JESSE]
With a beating
[JESSE]
Throw your soul through every open door
[RACHEL]
Count your blessings to find what you look for
[JESSE]
Turn my sorrow
Into treasured gold
[RACHEL]
You'll pay me back in kind and reap just what you've sown
[JESSE & RACHEL]
(You're gonna wish you never had met me), Yeah, we could have had it all
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep), We could have had it all
(You're gonna wish you never had met me), Yeah, it all, it all, it all
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep) (Jesse: Eh!)
We could have had it all, (You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep (Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hands, (You're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it to the beat, (Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You could have had it all, (You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep, (Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hands, (You're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played and you played and you played
And you played it to the beat
"Live a happy life ok?" I nod and he gives a small smile "Have some kids with Quinn too ok?"
"Maybe you will get to be uncle Jesse down the road" He nods and walks away "You can come out"
"I just want to say I do not like him" I chuckle as Kara leads Marley and Blaine out from behind the curtain "But he is your friend so whatever"
"I am sorry for trying to blackmail you" I quickly deleted the video and show Kara "You do not have to come aboard if you do not want to"
"I am always scared of being found out but I am not Kara Danvers here" Kara holds out her hand "I will be the understudy!"
"Really?" She nods and I hug her "THANK YOU! We need to start working as soon as possible!"
They all laugh and I smile along. This feels absolutely perfect to me. These strangers have brought us closer together. Now just to have those kids with Quinn.
First I need to have a date with her.
