-Chapter-12-

-Shelby pov-

Not having Rachel at school has been a mess. It has been a mess in the way that we have lost so many lyric sheets! I did not know how much she tidied the room until the past days. Now we are days closer to regionals and I have to judge auditions.

Holly has been a slight mess too. Thankfully she has days to miss. Rachel has kept her home and is watching Beth with Terri. She is picking up tips on what to do.

Terri may have been a asshole but she can actually be very sweet. She knows how to take care of kids very well. So she has been great help with Beth and Holly. She has even taught me a few things.

"Uh hey" I look up and see a nervous April in the doorway "I Uh..well I was wondering if you heard from Holly?"

"Why would I have?" She shrugs and looks at the ground "You care for her don't you?"

"She has needs but I can not do them alone" She sighs and looks up at me "I am trying to help find her someone who can take care of her"

"Well I will not lie" She looks at me confused "I have seen her and I know she found someone for her needs"

"Oh" April looks upset now "Good...thank you"

I sigh and stand up "I can send you their number ok?" She looks at me with hope filled eyes "They would never keep her friends or loved ones away"

"Thank you" I nod and pull out my phone "Do you have my number?"

"Thanks to the school" I send her Rachel's number and give her a smile "I sent it!"

"Thank you!" The bell rings and she smiles "I have to get to my class! You know how competitions are"

I nod and she walks out the door. I sit back down with a sigh. I send a quick warning to Rachel and get ready for auditions. This is going to be a long class.

I watch as the kids all come in talking. The three solo audition people seem ready to go. I motion to the front and Kurt is the first one. They are supposed to do survival/fighting.

-Kurt singing-

It's getting late, have you seen my mates?

Ma, tell me when the boys get here

It's seven o'clock and I wanna rock

Wanna get a belly full of beer

My old man's drunker than a barrel full of monkeys

And my old lady, she don't care

My sister looks cute in her braces and boots

A handful of grease in her hair

Oh, don't give us none of your aggravation

We had it with your discipline

Oh, Saturday night's alright for fighting

Get a little action in

Get about as oiled as a diesel train

Gonna set this dance alight

'Cause Saturday night's the night I like

Saturday night's alright, alright, alright, ooh

Well, they're packed pretty tight in here tonight

I'm looking for a dolly who'll see me right

I may use a little muscle to get what I need

I may sink a little drink and shout out, "She's with me!"

A couple of the sounds that I really like

Are the sounds of a switchblade and a motorbike

I'm a juvenile product of the working class

Whose best friend floats in the bottom of a glass

Oh, don't give us none of your aggravation

We had it with your discipline

Saturday night's alright for fighting

Get a little action in

Get about as oiled as a diesel train

Gonna set this dance alight

'Cause Saturday night's the night I like

Saturday night's alright, alright, alright, ooh

Oh, don't give us none of your aggravation

We had it with your discipline

'Cause Saturday night's alright for fighting

Get a little action in

Get about as oiled as a diesel train

Gonna set this dance alight

'Cause Saturday night's the night I like

Saturday night's alright, alright, alright, ooh

Saturday! Saturday! Saturday!

Saturday! Saturday! Saturday!

Saturday! Saturday! Saturday night's alright

Saturday! Saturday! Saturday!

Saturday! Saturday! Saturday!

Saturday! Saturday! Saturday night's alright

Saturday! Saturday! Saturday!

Saturday! Saturday! Saturday!

Saturday! Saturday! Saturday night's alright, whoo

"That was a great choice" Kurt takes a bow as everyone applauds "I think that is a good starting shot"

"Thank you" Blaine comes up and Kurt blows him a kiss "Good luck darling"

"It is break a leg" I chuckle at their playful banter "I am ready guys"

The bands starts and he begins to sing.

-Blaine singing-

You could never know what it's like

Your blood like winter freezes just like ice

And there's a cold lonely light that shines from you

You'll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use

And did you think this fool could never win?

Well, look at me, I'm a-coming back again

I got a taste of love in a simple way

And if you need to know while I'm still standing you just fade away

Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did?

Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid

And I'm still standing after all this time

Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind

I'm still standing. Yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm still standing. Yeah, yeah, yeah

Once I never could've hoped to win

You're starting down the road leaving me again

The threats you made were meant to cut me down

And if our love was just a circus you'd be a clown by now

You know I'm still standing better than I ever did

Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid

I'm still standing after all this time

Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind

I'm still standing. Yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm still standing. Yeah, yeah, yeah

Don't you know that I'm still standing better than I ever did?

Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid

And I'm still standing after all this time

Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind

I'm still standing. Yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm still standing. Yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm still standing. Yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm still standing. Yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm still standing. Yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm still standing. Yeah, yeah, yeah

"Another great one!" Everyone applauds and Blaine goes back to his seat after a bow "So may I ask why both of you decided you would like to do Elton John?"

"He had a lot of struggles and fights in his life" I smile as Kurt leans into Blaine "We know what it is like so we figured he would be the best guy to imitate"

"How would you two feel singing I'm still standing or the other one as a duet?" They both nod with smiles "Tina I know we said solo but..what about a duet? If not you can still do your tryout!"

"I actually was wondering if I could do a group?" I nod and Tina comes up "The official theme is classics so maybe this would work? Come up Quinn, and Santana!"

(Lyrics from genius)

[TINA]

A buh-buh buh buh-buh (A buh-buh buh buh-buh)

You went to school to learn, girl

Things you never, never knew before

[QUINN]

Like I before E except after C

[TINA]

And why 2 plus 2 makes 4

Now now now, I'm gonna teach you (Teach you, teach you)

All about love, dear (All about love)

[SANTANA]

Sit yourself down and take a seat

All you gotta do is repeat after me

[TINA with TROUBLE TONES]

ABC, easy as 123

Oh, simple as do re mi

ABC, 123, baby, you and me, girl

ABC, easy as 123 (QUINN: Oooh...)

Oh, simple as do re mi

ABC, 123, baby, you and me, girl

(Come on, let me love you just a little bit)

Come on, let me love you just a little bit

(Teach, teach, sing it out)

Come on, come on, come on, let me show you what it's all about

[QUINN]

Reading, writing, arithmetic

Are the branches on the learning tree

[SANTANA]

But listen, without the roots of love, let me tell you, girl

[QUINN]

Your education ain't complete

[TINA]

T-t-t-teacher's gonna show you (Show you, show you)

How to get an A (Nah nah nah nah naah)

[QUINN]

Spell "me", "you", add the two

Listen to me, baby, that's all you gotta do

[TINA with NEW DIRECTIONS]

Oh, ABC, it's easy as 123

Oh, simple as do re mi

ABC, 123, baby, you and me, girl

ABC, it's easy, it's like counting up to 3 (Quinn: Oooh...)

Sing a simple melody (Do re mi, ABC)

That's how easy love can be

That's how easy love can be

Sing a simple melody (That's how easy love can be)

123, you and me!

[QUINN]

Sit down girl, I think I love you!

[MIKE]

No, get up girl, show me what you can do!

[TINA with TROUBLE TONES]

Shake it, shake it, baby (Mike: Come on now!)

Shake it, shake it, baby (Kurt: Ooh, ooh)

Shake it shake it, baby (Mike: Oh!)

[Tina]

Come on, come on, come on, let me show you what it's all about

[TINA with TROUBLE TONES]

ABC, it's easy, it's like counting up to 3 (Quinn: Oooh...)

Sing a simple melody (Do re mi, ABC)

That's how easy love can be

[SANTANA]

[TINA]

Oh, oh, oh baby

[SANTANA]

[TINA with TROUBLE TONES]

Sing a simple melody (Do re mi, ABC)

That's how easy love can be

[SANTANA]

I'ma gonna teach you how to sing it out, sing it out

[TINA with TROUBLE TONES]

Easy as 123!

"I think this will work out great!" Everyone smiles and I stand up "I think we are golden! Let's head home and practice everything tomorrow!"

Everyone cheers and I feel my phone go off. I look down and pull out my phone. I sigh as I look at the message. I look at my crew and nod to the door.

We are needed at home for something.

-Time skip-

We walk through the door ready for anything. We walk through slowly and I freeze. I was so not ready for this. April is laying on the ground looking like a beagle.

"So she texted and came over" I look at Rachel who is holding leashes "She has it explained and has cum a few times thanks to Terri"

"Everything keeps coming together" Rachel nods and I turn toward the pets "Strip and get leashed!"

They are quickly stripping down and crawling over. I strip to my topless normal as Rachel smiles. That is the main reason I do this. It is, of course, for my own pleasure too.

But I do this for her smile and happiness as well. I feel myself growing wet as Sugar and Santana go into a licking fest. Tina must be able to tell cause soon she has my lower clothes off and is licking me. I look at Rachel who nods and I feel myself coming unglued.

She holds so much power of me and them now. I do not even care about that anymore. It feels so good to be able to give it al up. To finally not have all of the stress on me.

I love my mistress daughter so much.
