-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.
