-Chapter 20-Nationals Finale-
-Quinn pov-
"So I came up here" Fran twirls her tea around and sighs "I sent letters with money to make sure you could get here...started to think you were ignoring me little cub"
"We moved out and Russel was keeping the cash" I sigh and shake my head "That man is such a bad man!"
"But he is gone from our lives now" Mom looks at Fran and places a hand on her cheek "You look like you have been through hell"
"I had to catch so many buses and do not get me started on how I made some money" Fran cringes and shakes her head "I just want to forget all about that"
"Well you can come back with us" I look at my girlfriend who is drinking almond milk through a silly straw "We are going home tomorrow and we have a nice family"
"Really?" We all nod and Fran smiles "Ok...yeah that sounds great!"
"It is the Vocal Adrenaline kids!" We all turn as a chef and older man walk over "We hate to ask but we need some help"
"Our entertainment is late" The older man motions toward the empty stage "Could you all do a number?"
"I did have to miss bohemian rhapsody" I look at everyone and see them all nod "We can do it!"
"Thank you!" The older man smiles and looks so relieved "The mics are all ready! We just need you all up there!"
We all stand up and head to the stage. Everyone goes of what we will sing and take deep breaths.

[VOCAL ADRENALINE]
Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide no escape from reality
Open your eyes look up to the skies and see
[SANTANA]
I'm just a poor boy
[VOCAL ADRENALINE]
Poor boy
[SANTANA]
I need no sympathy
[VOCAL ADRENALINE]
Because I'm easy come, easy go
Little high, Little low
[SANTANA with VOCAL ADRENALINE]
Anyway the wind blows, doesn't really matter
[VOCAL ADRENALINE]
To me
[SANTANA]
To me
[SANTANA (with VOCAL ADRENALINE)]
Mama, just killed a man
Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead
Mama, life had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
(Mama, ooh) didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
(Carry on, carry on)
As if nothing really matters
Too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine
Body's aching all the time
Goodbye everybody I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, (Ooh) (Anyway the wind blows)
I don't want to die
[VOCAL ADRENALINE]
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh...)
[SANTANA (with VOCAL ADRENALINE)]
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all
[SANTANA]
I see a little silhouetto of a man
[SANTANA with VOCAL ADRENALINE]
Scaramouche, scaramouche, will you do the fandango?
[VOCAL ADRENALINE]
Thunderbolts and lightning very very frightening me
[VOCAL ADRENALINE GIRLS & (SANTANA)]
Galileo (Galileo)
Galileo (Galileo)
(Galileo Figaro)
[VOCAL ADRENALINE]
Magnifico-o-o-o
[SANTANA]
I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me
[VOCAL ADRENALINE]
He's just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
[SANTANA]
Easy come, easy go
Will you let me go?
[VOCAL ADRENALINE BOYS]
Bismillah!
No, we will not let you go
[VOCAL ADRENALINE GIRLS]
Let him go
[SANTANA]
Bismillah! We will not let you go
[VOCAL ADRENALINE GIRLS]
Let him go
[SANTANA]
Bismillah! We will not let you go
[VOCAL ADRENALINE GIRLS]
Let me go
[SANTANA]
Let me go-o-o-o-o
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Will not let you go
[VOCAL ADRENALINE GIRLS]
(Let me go)
[SANTANA]
Never let you go
[VOCAL ADRENALINE GIRLS]
(Let me go)
[VOCAL ADRENALINE]
O-o-o-o-o
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
[SANTANA]
Oh, mamma mia, mamma mia
[VOCAL ADRENALINE]
Mamma mia, let me go
Beelzebub has the devil put aside for me, for me, for me
[SANTANA]
So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye?
So you think you can love me and leave me to die?
Oh, baby, can't do this to me baby
Just gotta get out
Just gotta get right outta here
[VOCAL ADRENALINE]
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
[SANTANA]
Nothing really matters, anyone can see
Nothing really matters
Nothing really matters, to me
[SANTANA with VOCAL ADRENALINE]
Anyway the wind blows
Everyone applauds and I smile completely happy. I love singing with the group here. I watch Rachel talk with the guy and he nods with a smile. I look at her confused as the club leaves the stage.
My confusion clears when a piano begins to play.
(Lyrics from genius)
[QUINN]
I wish I could tie you up in my shoes
Make you feel unpretty, too
I was told I was beautiful
But what does that mean to you?
Look into the mirror, who's inside there?
The one with the long hair
Same old me again today, hey
[RACHEL]
My outsides are cool, my insides are blue
Every time I think I'm through, it's because of you
I've tried different ways, but it's all the same
At the end of the day I have myself to blame
I'm just tripping
[QUINN & RACHEL]
You can buy your hair if it won't grow
[QUINN]
You can fix your nose if he says so (Aahh)
[QUINN & RACHEL]
You can buy all the makeup that M.A.C. can make
But if you can't look inside you
[QUINN]
Find out who am I to (Aah)
[QUINN & RACHEL]
Be in a position to make me feel so
[RACHEL]
Damn unpretty
[QUINN]
I feel pretty
[RACHEL]
Oh, so pretty
[QUINN & RACHEL]
I feel pretty and witty and bright
[RACHEL]
Never insecure until I met you
Now I'm being stupid
I used to be so cute to me
[RACHEL & QUINN]
Just a little bit skinny
[QUINN]
Why do I look to all these things
[QUINN & RACHEL]
(To keep you happy?)
[RACHEL]
Maybe get rid of you
And then I'll get back to me, hey
[QUINN]
My outsides look cool, my insides are blue
Every time I think I'm through, it's because of you
[RACHEL]
I've tried different ways, but it's all the same
At the end of the day, I have myself to blame
Keep on tripping
[RACHEL & QUINN]
You can buy your hair if it won't grow
[QUINN]
You can fix your nose if he says so (Aahh)
[RACHEL & QUINN]
You can buy all the makeup that M.A.C. can make
But if you can't look inside you
[QUINN]
Find out who am I to (Aahh)
[RACHEL & QUINN]
Be in a position to make me feel so
[RACHEL]
Damn unpretty
[QUINN]
I feel pretty
[RACHEL]
Oh, so pretty
[QUINN & RACHEL]
I feel pretty and witty and bright
[QUINN]
And I pity
[RACHEL]
Any girl who isn't me
[RACHEL & (QUINN)]
Tonight (Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
Tonight (Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
Tonight (Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
Tonight (Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
I feel pretty (You can buy your hair if it won't grow)
Oh, so pretty (You can fix your nose if he says so)
I feel pretty and witty and bright (You can buy all the make up that M.A.C. can make, but if)
[QUINN & RACHEL]
You can't look inside you
[QUINN]
Find out who am I to (Aahh)
[QUINN & RACHEL]
Be in a position to make me feel so
[RACHEL]
Damn unpretty
[QUINN & RACHEL]
I feel pretty
(But unpretty)
"Thank you all for singing!" We get off the stage as a band comes in "Desert on the house for you all! Fills of everything!"
"Thank you sir" He walks away with a nod and the chef "You still coming home with us?"
"Yeah" Fran stands up with a smile "I just have to use the bathroom first"
-Fran pov-
I make my way from the table to the bathroom. I block the door with the trash can after I get in. I make sure it is empty before I pull out my phone. I find the contact I am looking for and push call.
"Hello?"
"We are coming home tomorrow" I look at myself in the mirror and shake my head "The plan comes to fruition alright? Just make sure she does not get hurt by this"
"No promises"
I sigh as the phone call ends. I hope I am doing the right thing here.
