-Chapter 36-
-Santana pov-
We are back in school and it SUCKS! I was fine being at home! I was able to cuddle with my girls and not worry about anything! Now we are in McKinley and waiting for Shelby to get here.
I pout when I see Brittany holding onto Sugar beside me. My girlfriends aren't here yet. They had to talk. I just want my beautiful and pregnant girlfriend along with, my in control and crazy one. The door opens and I smile.
Lucy walks in front of everyone while Rachel sits beside me. I look at her confused and she just smiles. I look back at Lucy to see her looking nervous. Judy comes in confused and sits down beside Rachel. Mom falls after and sits down too.
"I am not sure how to sing this so I guess I'm doing it cause of my mom and for Rachel since the musical got stopped" She takes a deep breath and looks at mom on the piano "I'm ready"
-Lucy-
I don't wanna talk
About things we've gone through
Though it's hurting me
Now it's history
I've played all my cards
And that's what you've done too
Nothing more to say
No more ace to play
The winner takes it all
The loser's standing small
Beside the victory
That's her destiny
I was in your arms
Thinking I belonged there
I figured it made sense
Building me a fence
Building me a home
Thinking I'd be strong there
But I was a fool
Playing by the rules
The gods may throw a dice
Their minds as cold as ice
And someone way down here
Loses someone dear
The winner takes it all (Takes it all)
The loser has to fall (Has to fall)
It's simple and it's plain (It's so plain)
Why should I complain (Why complain)
But tell me does she kiss
Like I used to kiss you
Does it feel the same
When she calls your name
Somewhere deep inside
You must know I miss you
But what can I say
Rules must be obeyed
The judges will decide (Will decide)
The likes of me abide (Me abide)
Spectators of the show (Of the show)
Always staying low (Staying low)
The game is on again (On again)
A lover or a friend (Or a friend)
A big thing or a small (Big or small)
The winner takes it all (Takes it all)
I don't wanna talk
If it makes you feel sad
And I understand
You've come to shake my hand
I apologize
If it makes you feel bad
Seeing me so tense
No self-confidence
But you see
The winner takes it all
The winner takes it all
So the winner takes it all
And the loser has to fall
Throw the dice, cold as ice
Way down here, someone dear
Takes it all, has to fall
And it's plain, I complain
"That was wonderful!" Judy gets up and runs to Lucy "You were great!"
"Thanks ma" Lucy looks at Rachel "How was it Broadway bound star?"
"Wonderful" She smiles "Now come sit down!"
She does on my lap and I smile. I barely notice Brittany walk over to Shelby and start talking. I look at her confused then share the look to Sugar. She looks at me and shrugs just as confused. I look back to see Brittany walk where Lucy was. Shelby slowly starts playing.
-Brittany-
No New Year's Day to celebrate
No chocolate covered candy hearts to give away
No first of spring, no song to sing
In fact, here's just another ordinary day
No April rain, no flowers bloom
No wedding Saturday within the month of June
But what it is, is something true
Made up of these three words that I must say to you
I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart
No summer's high, no warm July
No harvest moon to light one tender August night
No autumn breeze, no falling leaves
Not even time for birds to fly to southern skies
No Libra sun, no Halloween
No giving thanks to all the Christmas joy you bring
But what it is, though old, so new
To fill your heart like no three words could ever do
I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care, I do
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart
I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care, I do
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart
Of my heart
(Of my heart) Baby, of my heart
Sugar is up by the end and in Brittanys arms. How long have these two secretly been dating? We all clap as Brittany spins Sugar around. They come and sit down and Shelby spins to face us.
"A very song filled glee day" She smiles and we all clap "Anyone else have one? Maybe we could end early!"
"C-can I?" We all look at Cherry who looks nervous "I'm not the best but I think I can do good"
"Of course" Cherry walks over to mom and then whispers something "I can lower it sure"
-Cherry-
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
We all stare in stunned silence. She looks at us scared and we all slowly start clapping. We definitely weren't ready for that. Shelby take a minute before getting up and clapping.
"Well uhh" She motions to the door "Early dismissal"
Everyone slowly leaves and Cherry skips out. I look at the family who just shrug. We start to get up but Dave walks in. He looks a little scared to be in here.
"I came to audition in quiet" He looks at Shelby "Can I do that now?"
She nods and they both whisper at the piano. She nods and plays him in.
-Dave-
It's nine o'clock on a saturday
Regular crowd shuffles in
There's an old man sittin' next to me
Makin' love to his tonic and gin
He says son can you play me a memory?
I'm not really sure how it goes
But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete
When I wore a younger man's clothes
La-la-la de-de da
La-la de-de da da-da
Sing us a song you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feelin' alright
Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
He gets me my drinks for free
And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
But there's someplace that he'd rather be
And the waitress is practicing politics
As the businessmen slowly get stoned
Yes they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
But it's better than drinkin' alone
Sing us the song you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feelin' alright
It's a pretty good crowd for a saturday
And the manager gives me a smile
'Cause he knows that it's me they've been comin' to see
To forget about life for a while
And the piano it sounds like a carnival
And the microphone smells like a beer
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
And say, "Man what are you doin' here?"
Oh, la-la-la de-de da
La-la de-de da da-da
Sing us the song you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feelin' alright
We all clap as he smiles nervously "I think you could do great work with the club" He looks at Shelby surprised "I mean it"
"Thank you" He looks toward us "You think they will accept me?"
"They are forgiving people Dave" I stand Lucy up before I get up and we walk up to him "Take us for example"
"We got the best catch from forgiveness" We both look at Rachel who smiles "I think you'll fit right in"
Before I know it I'm in a bear hug "Thank you" I chuckle and hug him back "This weird?"
"It's nice" We break apart and Rachel runs up then hugs him "But get ready for those"
"Hmmm" Dave wraps his arms around her "I think I can deal with this"
We all chuckle and leave the club room. It was a short day but a nice return back. I love this little group we have here. It's a nice little family. I can't imagine being without it.
I don't think I even wanna try. I grab my girlfriends hands as we walk out. This is nice. I never wanna lose this feeling.
This feeling of being complete. This feeling of being loved. I love it. I never wanna go back. Not now that I know how this feels. I just hope Snix plays nicely.
I'd hate for her to ruin any of this.
