-Chapter-81-Solo and Duet-
-Maribel pov-
After a long 4 weeks I can officially say I have been apart of a bunch of adoptions. We were able to adopt the kids and get it all set up. Now their rooms like nicer and they all are so happy! We also got them all some late Christmas gifts.
Now we are closer to Regionals. Which we get to host here! So after all the stress of the adoptions we are now battling into Regionals. I know the girls already are pushing for who they want to do a solo.
I just really hope they can do great. I haven't said but my job rests in their hands. The board just sees us as a money grab. So if they lose and don't go to nationals I'm gone. I throw a stapler in anger and freeze.
"So wanna talk?" I raise my eyes to see my girlfriends "Or are you gonna just keep holding in whatever has you upset?"
"Is that a option?" I get a glare from Judy and sigh "My job rests in the Blazers hands"
"You don't think to tell us that?!" I look away from Shelby "We are your girlfriends! You should tell us this sort of stuff!"
"I don't wanna add stress to the Blazers" I shake my head and try to stand up "Just wanna focus on not hurting when I walk"
"Maybe if you stopped being afraid of hurting Santana and did your stuff" I don't look at Judy and fall back into my chair "She'll be happy that you are able to walk! Just try ok?"
"She's in that chair for life cause I was a bad mom" I look at the chair I'm sitting in "She's stuck in one of these cause I couldn't help her in time"
"We all messed up with that Mari" I look up at Shelby "But would you honestly want to see her happy because her mom can walk or happy because you are lying and then accidentally move your leg?"
I know my answer and don't respond. I wheel toward the door and they move aside. I wheel out of the office area and to the library. I stop at the door and see Santana happily spinning.
I smile and open the door. I wheel toward her and she stops. She smiles at me and wheels toward me. We stop with some space in between. I take a deep breath and notice her face go confused.
"I've only known this for a little bit...so don't get mad ok?" I push up on my handles and stand up to the best of my abilities "The doctors said I could stand and walk if I do some physical therapy"
"That's great!" I sit back and when I don't share her smile she frowns "What's wrong?"
"I didn't wanna tell you" Her confusion is back "I didn't wanna upset you because you are...because you are handicapped because I failed! Because you will never be able to walk again because I am a bad mom!"
"I don't blame you" Santana grabs my hands and smiles "If anything...this has been a good thing! It's taught me so many things I needed to learn on my own...it's help me realize what I have to live for"
"So you are ok with me walking?" Santana nods and I smile "I'm glad to hear that"
Our small moment is ruined quickly "PLAN RACHEL AT SECTIONALS IS A GO!" We both look at the door and see Lucy "Come on!"
We wheel out quickly and to the club room. When we get there we see everyone sitting in the chairs. We get into our spots as Rachel comes in. She seems confused but sits.
"Alright!" Shelby stands beside the piano "We all are on our way to sectionals! I really would like to get our parts and songs on paper so...who's trying for solos?"
"I am" Rachel stands up "I'm sure this will be tough competition so I'm gonna try my hardest!"
Rachel walks to the piano and starts to play. I smile at how well she's learned how to play recently. She's gotten better definitely.
-Rachel singing-
Every night in my dreams
I see you, I feel you
That is how I know you go on
Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go 'til we're gone
Love was when I loved you
One true time I hold to
In my life we'll always go on
Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
You're here, there's nothing I fear
And I know that my heart will go on
We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart
And my heart will go on and on
Everyone claps and Rachel takes a bow. She sits back in her seat and everyone shared a secret nod. Shelby waits for the signal and gets it from Cherry. She steps forward again.
"Alright!" She smiles and looks around "Anyone else trying out for a solo?"
No one puts their hands up "I take that as a no" I look at Rachel with a smile "You're our soloist!"
"Why do I feel like that was set up?" No one says anything and Rachel stands up "You all really aren't going to try?"
"Rachel the plan used to be to never have you sing with the warblers" Blaine stands up and walks to her "We all know your talent can get us a win...are you ok with this?"
"If you all agree ok" Rachel smiles "I have a feeling you al have other things shoved up your sleeves"
"We may have or duo picked out too" Blaine smiles "Can I get Nick and Jeff here?"
The two come down and Blaine hands them music. He goes to the piano and starts to play.
-Nick-Jeff-Both-
Now I've had the time of my life
No, I never felt like this before
Yes, I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
Cause I've had the time of my life
And I owe it all to you
I've been waiting for so long
Now I've finally found someone to stand by me
We saw the writing on the wall
As we felt this magical fantasy
Now with passion in our eyes
There's no way we could disguise it secretly
So we take each other's hand
Cause we seem to understand the urgency
Just remember
You're the one thing
I can't get enough of
So I'll tell you something
This could be love
Because
I've had the time of my life
No, I never felt like this before
Yes, I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
Hey, baby
With my body and soul
I want you more than you'll ever know
So we'll just let it go
Don't be afraid to lose control
No
Yes, I know what's on your mind
When you say
Stay with me tonight
(Stay with me)
I've had the time of my life
No, I never felt like this before
Yes, I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
Cause I had the time of my life
And I've searched through every open door
Till I found the truth
And I owe it all to you
Now I've had the time of my life
No, I never felt like this before
(Never felt this way)
Yes, I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
I've had the time of my life
No, I never felt this way before
(Never felt this way)
Yes, I swear it's the truth
(It's the truth)
And I owe it all to you
Cause I had the time of my life
(The time of my life)
And I've searched through every open door
Till I found the truth
And I owe it all to you
The club cheers and the boys both smile. With these two sets we are ready to win. I can't see any way we could possibly lose. My job is secure.
Things really are going upwards!
