-Chapter-89-Duets and slaps-
-Shelby pov-
I had a weird idea for our nationals set up. Everyone is probably going to do solo, duet, and group at nationals. I have a different plan. We are going to do two duets and a group number.
Love and sadness is our theme. So why not do duets?! It makes perfect sense to me! Plus we have a lot of good groups! It'll be perfect!
Now I just need everyone on board. That's where the issues begin. The likely hood they all enjoy it is not high. But I'm hoping they can surprise me. I told them to prepare some duets through group chat.
"Alright!" I shake out my thoughts and look to the club "Who is up first on the duet?"
"WE ARE!" Cherry is dragged to the front by Dotty "We can do it!"
I smile and give them the floor. Cherry goes to the piano and starts to play.
-Cherry-Dotty-Both-
Do you hear me, I'm talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying
Girl, I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard
Lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you, I promise you, I will
Lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday
And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music fill the air
I'll put a flower in your hair
Though the breezes through the trees
Move so pretty you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now
Lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I'm lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday
Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooooh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
The club applauds and they take their seat. I can't even get up before the next group is down. Santana is smiling and Lucy has a look of love. This should be good.
-Lucy-Santana-Both-
I got chills
They're multiplying
And I'm losing control
'Cause the power you're supplying
It's electrifying!
You better shape up
'Cause I need a woman
And my heart is set on you
You better shape up
You better understand
To my heart I must be true
Nothing left
Nothing left for me to do
You're the one that I want
Ooh-ooh-ooh honey
The one that I want
Ooh-ooh-ooh honey
The one that I want
Ooh-ooh-ooh, the one I need
Oh, yes indeed
If you're filled
With affection
You're too shy to convey
Meditate
My direction
Feel your way
Feel your way
You better shape up
'Cause I need a woman
Who can keep me satisfied
You better shape up
If you're gonna prove
That my faith is justified
Are you sure
Yes I'm sure down deep inside
You're the one that I want
Ooh-ooh-ooh honey
You're the one that I want
Ooh-ooh-ooh honey
You're the one that I want
Ooh-ooh-ooh honey, the one I need
Oh, yes indeed
You're the one that I want
Ooh-ooh-ooh honey
You're the one that I want
Ooh-ooh-ooh honey
You're the one that I want
Ooh-ooh-ooh honey, the one I need
Oh, yes indeed
You're the one that I want
You're the one that I want
The one I need
Oh, yes indeed
"Another great performance" I look at the club "Anyone else?"
"If its no trouble?" I turn toward the door and see Blaine walk in with Kurt "I have a double audition here"
"Of course it's no trouble" I turn toward the club "Right?"
"None at all" Rachel smiles "Come on in!"
Kurt smiles and walks in with Blaine. They sit at the piano and Blaine plays.
-Kurt-Blaine-Both-
You think I'm pretty
Without any make-up on
You think I'm funny
When I tell the punchline wrong
I know you get me
So I let my walls come down, down
Before you met me
I was alright
But things were kinda heavy
You brought me to life
Now every February
You'll be my Valentine, Valentine
Let's go all the way tonight
No regrets, just love
We can dance until we die
You and I, we'll be young forever
You make me feel
Like I'm livin'
A teenage dream
The way you turn me on
I can't sleep
Let's run away and don't ever look back,
Don't ever look back
My heart stops
When you look at me
Just one touch
Now, baby, I believe
This is real
So take a chance and don't ever look back,
Don't ever look back
We drove to Cali
And got drunk on the beach
Got a motel
And built a fort out of sheets
I finally found you
My missing puzzle piece
I'm complete
Let's go all the way tonight
No regrets, just love
We can dance until we die
You and I, we'll be young forever
You make me feel
Like I'm livin'
A teenage dream
The way you turn me on
I can't sleep
Let's run away and don't ever look back,
Don't ever look back
My heart stops
When you look at me
Just one touch
Now, baby, I believe
This is real
So take a chance and don't ever look back,
Don't ever look back
I'mma get your heart racing
In my skin-tight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight
Let you put your hands on me
In my skin-tight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight
You make me feel
Like I'm livin'
A teenage dream
The way you turn me on
I can't sleep
Let's run away and don't ever look back,
Don't ever look back, no
My heart stops
When you look at me
Just one touch
Now, baby, I believe
This is real
So take a chance and don't ever look back,
Don't ever look back
I'mma get your heart racing
In my skin-tight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight
Let you put your hands on me
In my skin-tight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight
(tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight)
"Great work and welcome to the team" They get up smiling and I look back at the club "Anyone else?"
"I have a idea" Brittany stands up "Rachel...would you like to sing with me? Please"
Rachel's answer is a nod and they step down. They talk a small bit and then go to the band. You know I forget that I brought them in. I really need to utilize them more.
-Brittany-Rachel-Both-
Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air
If I should die before I wake
It's 'cause you took my breath away
Losing you is like living in a world with no air
Oh
I'm here alone, didn't wanna leave
My heart won't move, it's incomplete
Wish there was a way that I can make you understand
But how do you expect me
to live alone with just me
'Cause my world revolves around you
It's so hard for me to breathe
Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air
Can't live, can't breathe with no air
It's how I feel whenever you ain't there
It's no air, no air
Got me out here in the water so deep
Tell me how you gonna be without me
If you ain't here, I just can't breathe
It's no air, no air
No air, air
No air, air
No air, air
No air, air
I walked, I ran, I jumped, I flew
Right off the ground to float to you
There's no gravity to hold me down for real
But somehow I'm still alive inside
You took my breath, but I survived
I don't know how, but I don't even care
So how do you expect me
to live alone with just me
'Cause my world revolves around you
It's so hard for me to breathe
No air, air
No air, air
No air, air
No air, air
No more
It's no air, no air
No air, air
No air, air
No air, air
No air, air
Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air
Can't live, can't breathe with no air
It's how I feel whenever you ain't there
It's no air, no air
Got me out here in the water so deep
Tell me how you gonna be without me
If you ain't here, I just can't breathe
It's no air, no air
No air, air
No air, air
No air, air
No air
"Amazing work!" The clapping dies down and I look at the club "Anyone else? If not I'm passing out paper to vote on two duets"
"Two duets?" I nod and Rachel looks at me confused "But what about our solo?"
"Yeah" Angela looks at me a little hurt in her eyes "I thought we all had a chance this time"
"I-I figured we'd do something new!" I look at all of the club members "Something different from the rest"
"Something different or something you wanna do?" I don't respond and I hear Angela get up "I'm withdrawing my vote from this"
"I am too" I look up as Dotty stands "It's not fair to just spring this up"
"It puts more voices out there!" I'm not understanding what's so wrong about this! "Isn't that good?!"
"Good for who? The chosen few?" Angela shakes her head and walks to the door "I'll see you at home"
More cardinals walk out and so do some Warblers. All I'm left with is Kurt, Blaine, and Lucy. My own daughter left. I feel tears spring to my eyes.
"It'll be ok" Lucy walks over to me "We can vote!"
"Yeah we won't even vote ourselves!" Blaine goes to grab the papers "It'll be fun!"
"Just forget it" I toss the cards and wheel to the door "I've already messed everything up anyways..just go home and be ready for solos next time"
-Lucy pov-
I watch Shelby leave with anger. How could the class do that to her?! Even Rachel walked out! This is ridiculous!
"Is this how it normally goes?" I look at a confused Kurt "This is different than last time I was here"
"No it's not" I walk to the door with anger pouring out of me "This was bullshit"
I walk out shaking in anger now. How could they do that?! It was going to give more voices opportunities! They were all told before hand to be ready! If they wanted to sing they should have!
I spot everyone outside and walk out. I storm right toward them. Angela is the first to spot me. I get a rolled eyes and crossed arms.
"What do you wa~"
SMACK!
"You listen up here bitch!" She holds her face and looks at me shocked "You were given enough time to do a duet with someone! You could've sang but you didn't! That's on your ass not Shelby's! She has given you love that your pissant Uncle didn't! So show respect! Respect all of you need to give!"
"Hey back off Lu~"
"And you" I turn toward Santana "I expected more from you..same goes to you Rachel and you too Brittany! I expected more from all of you to be honest but more so from my girlfriend...I can't even look at you right now"
I turn and walk toward the car. I get in as the moms come out. Everyone gets in and Santana tries to grab my hand. I move it away from her and scoot against the door.
If she can be angry about something stupid so can I! I am tired of being the bigger one! Sometimes you got to be smaller to make the words louder. Shelby is right and they all need to learn that.
I hope this all is over and Shelby keeps up the duets next club meeting.
