-Chapter-23-

-Judy pov-

"So Uh the girls helped Rachel after she made a mess with her spaghetti" I smile as I hold Shelby's hand "The club also came by earlier! They Uh they wanted to let you know that they care about you and are waiting for you to come back"

"Judy?" I do not look behind me "Judy it has been three days"

"She hit her head and she is not dead!" I run a hand through Shelby's hair "She is just resting"

"I want her to wake up too baby" Maribel moves and sits beside me "But we have to also face facts and facts are that she has not improved"

"Moms?" We both look and see Rachel slowly walking into the hospital room "Has...has she gotten better?"

"You are supposed to be at school" Rachel frowns and I sigh "Come on over sweetheart"

She slowly walks over and sits on my lap "She is going to wake up right?" Rachel looks at Maribel and me "Right?"

"Right baby" Maribel smiles sadly and runs a hand through Rachel's hair "I bet if you sang to her then she may register your voice! Go on and give it a try babygirl!"

"Ok" Rachel faces toward Shelby "Please wake up mommy"

[RACHEL]

Something has changed within me

Something is not the same

I'm through with playing by the rules

Of someone else's game

Too late for second guessing

Too late to go back to sleep

It's time to trust my instincts

Close my eyes and leap!

(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

I'm through accepting limits

'Cause someone says they're so

Some things I cannot change

But till I try I'll never know!

Too long I've been afraid of

Losing love I guess I've lost

Well, if that's love

It comes at much too high a cost...

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

Oh, oh

"Well Rach is here" We all look to see the club holding gifts "Maybe we should try a different one? As a loving group?"

"It is worth the shot" Shelby's doctor walks in and checks everything "She seems to be having more activity!"

[RACHEL]

Guess this means you're sorry

You're standin' at my door

Guess this means you take back

All you said before

Like how much you wanted

Anyone but me

You said you'd never come back

But here you are again

[NEW DIRECTIONS]

'Cause we belong together now, yeah

Forever united here somehow, yeah

You got a piece of me

And honestly

My life (My life) would suck (Would suck) without you

[RACHEL]

Maybe I was stupid for tellin' you goodbye

Maybe I was wrong for tryna pick a fight

[QUINN & RACHEL]

I know that I've got issues

But you're pretty messed up too

Either way I found out

I'm nothing without you

[NEW DIRECTIONS]

'Cause we belong together now, yeah

Forever united here somehow, yeah

You got a piece of me

And honestly

My life (My life) would suck (Would suck) without you

[TINA]

Being with you is so dysfunctional

I really shouldn't miss you

[MERCEDES & TINA]

But I can't let you go, yeah

[NEW DIRECTIONS]

Lalalalalala, lalalalala

Lalalalalala, lalalalala...

'Cause we belong together now, yeah

Forever united here somehow, yeah

You got a piece of me

And honestly

My life (My life) would suck (Would suck) without you

'Cause we belong together now, yeah

Forever united here somehow, yeah

You got a piece of me

And honestly

My life (My life) would suck (Would suck) without you

"That was great" I smile and wipe some tears "I am sure Shelby would appreciate that if she was able to respond"

"I am and did" we all look at Shelby in shock "Now can soemeone explain to me why I am here and where my mom is?"

"That's a long story but I can explain it all to you" I grab Shelby's hand "So three days ago.."
