-Chapter-30-Sectionals-part 3-

-Santana pov-

"In third place is the Unitards!" We are on stage and everyone is nervous on who will win "In first place...your winner is...From Lima, Ohio! THE NEW DIRECTIONS!"

We all cheer and hug after that announcement. We beat them and we earned that win. I look at vocal adrenaline expecting respect. Instead we are completely blindsided.

"We poached unitards best singer and messed up their set list!" Jesse stomps toward the announcer angrily "How did we lose?! We sang better than them hands down!"

"Excuse me but did you just admit to cheating?" Jesses eyes go wide and his mouth just continues to move like he is finding something to say "Well you were just disqualified! Unitards you get a second place bye! Thank you all for coming!"

"No!" Jesse storms forward and grabs the trophy "You all will be rolling in the deep before I lose!"

Security starts to move but Rachel stops them. She goes to the band and says something before coming back. She slowly approaches Jesse who looks mad. She secretly points to us as the music starts.

[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 with THE NEW DIRECTIONS harmonizing]

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 (The NEW DIRECTIONS)]

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 with THE NEW DIRECTIONS harmonizing]

Think of me in the depths of your despair

Makin'

A home down there as mine sure won't be shared

[JESSE with THE NEW DIRECTIONS harmonizing]

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 (The NEW DIRECTIONS)]

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 with THE NEW DIRECTIONS harmonizing]

Throw your soul through every open door

[RACHEL with THE NEW DIRECTIONS harmonizing]

Count your blessings to find what you look for

[JESSE with THE NEW DIRECTIONS harmonizing]

Turn my sorrow

Into treasured gold

[RACHEL with THE NEW DIRECTIONS harmonizing]

You'll pay me back in kind and reap just what you've sown

[JESSE & RACHEL (The NEW DIRECTIONS)]

(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

"Let it go Jesse" He slowly gives the trophy to Shelby as he falls in sobs "You are ok Jesse"

She hugs him as everyone just watches. Watches a man with so much promise crash. He could have been a star. But now he has lost his shine.

He seems to have lost everything.

"Let's go" Rachel helps him up and we leave the stage "You should get help Jesse"

"I will" He sighs and looks at us "Sorry about everything"

"You are fine jesse" Shelby hugs him "We will be here for you when you come back"

"Thanks"

With that he heads his way and we head ours. We have somethings to get ready for now. Christmas and a birthday. I can not wait to surprise Rachel.

Things hopefully go uphill for all of us from now on.
