Shelby just gives us a grin before turning and addressing the club as Blaine takes a seat next to Mike.

"Hi guys. As Mr. Shue's just told you, I'm the new co-director of the club. If you have any questions or suggestions then please feel free to come to me with them," my ma tells everyone. I just smirk at Mr. Shue, who's pouting next to the piano like a petulant child. Once she's done speaking Mercedes raises her hand tentatively.

"Yes," Shelby asks, nodding to Mercedes.

"Puck and Rachel called you mom when you walked in, are you really their mother?"

"That I am. They're the reason I moved here from New York. Well that and Blaine missed his big brother and sister," Shelby says, causing Blaine to squeak in outrage and embarrassment. "Ok, first off does anyone have anything they want to perform?"

"We actually have a rule that all new members have to sing. Kinda like an audition, but you're accepted no matter what," Mr. Shue says before anyone can answer and looking pointedly at Blaine.

"That's cool," Blaine says as he jumps up from his seat and walks over to the docking station. He gets his music set up and waits for the adults to go sit down. "Ok so as my mom has told you, I'm Rachel and Noah's younger brother, I'm from New York, and here goes."

I was walking down the street,
When out the corner of my eye
I saw a pretty little thing approaching me.
She said "I've never seen a man
Who looks so all alone,
Could you use a little company?

If you can pay the right price
Your evening will be nice,
And you can go and send me on my way."
I said "You're such a sweet young thing
Why you do this to yourself?"
She looked at me and this is what she said:

"Oh, there ain't no rest for the wicked,
Money don't grow on trees.
I got bills to pay,
I got mouths to feed,
There ain't nothing in this world for free.
I know I can't slow down,
I can't hold back,
Though you know, I wish I could.
No there ain't no rest for the wicked,
Until we close our eyes for good."

Not even fifteen minutes later
I'm still walking down the street,
When I saw a shadow of a man creep out of sight.
And then he sweeps up from behind
And puts a gun up to my head,
He made it clear he wasn't looking for a fight.

He said "Give me all you've got
I want your money not your life,
But if you try to make a move I won't think twice."
I go like "You can have my cash
But first you know I got to ask
What made you want to live this kind of life?"

He said "There ain't no rest for the wicked,
Money don't grow on trees.
I got bills to pay,
I got mouths to feed,
There ain't nothing in this world for free.
I know I can't slow down,
I can't hold back,
Though you know, I wish I could.
No there ain't no rest for the wicked,
Until we close our eyes for good".

Now a couple hours have passed
And I was sitting at my house,
The day was winding down and coming to an end.
So I turned on the TV
And flipped it over to the news,
And what I saw I almost couldn't comprehend.

I saw a preacher man in cuffs he'd taken money from the church,
He stuffed his bank account with righteous dollar bills.
But even still I can't say much
Because I know we're all the same,
oh yes we all seek out to satisfy those thrills

"Oh, there ain't no rest for the wicked,
Money don't grow on trees.
We got bills to pay,
We got mouths to feed,
There ain't nothing in this world for free.
I know we can't slow down,
We can't hold back,
Though you know, we wish we could.
No there ain't no rest for the wicked,
Until we close our eyes for good

Once Blaine was finished singing we all clap and cheer for him. He bows before grabbing his iPod and heading back to his seat, where Mike and Noah hi-five him.

"That was amazing Blaine, thank you," Mr. Shue says before turning to his infamous whiteboard. We all roll our eyes and suppress a groan once his back's turned. "Pain," he tells us as he turns around with a grin.

"Huh?" Noah, Blaine, and I question simultaneously, we then look at eachother quickly and then back to Mr. Shue.

"Everyone's gone through something painful in their lives, some more than others. I want all of you to find a song that reflects on something painful you've gone through in your life, and then sing it to the club. You don't have to tell us why you're singing it unless you want to, but you do have to sing. Now is there someone with a song already in mind?"

Everyone just looks from one to the other, waiting to see if someone's willing to volunteer today. My ma catches my eye and lifts a questioning eyebrow and I shake my head no. I do have a song that I'm going to sing, just not today.

"No one?" Mr. Shue asks in disappointment.

"I um, I have one if you're not opposed to me singing again," Blaine says nervously.

"Not at all Blaine, the floor is yours," Mr. Shue says with another grin before sitting next too our mom.

Life's too short to even care at all, oh
I'm losing my mind, losing my mind, losing control
These fishes in the sea, they're staring at me, Oh oh
A wet world aches for a beat of a drum, Oh

If I could find a way to see this straight
I'd run away
To some fortune that I,
I should have found by now

I'm waiting for this cough syrup
to come down, come down

Life's too short to even care at all, oh
I'm coming up now, coming up now
out of the blue, oh
These zombies in the park,
they're looking for my heart, oh oh
A dark world aches for a splash of the sun, oh oh

If I could find a way to see this straight
I'd run away
To some fortune that I,
I should have found by now

And so I run now to the things
they said could restore me
Restore life the way it should be

I'm waiting for this cough syrup
to come down

Life's too short to even care at all, oh
I'm losing my mind, losing my mind, losing control

If I could find a way to see this straight
I'd run away
To some fortune that I,
I should have found by now

And so I'd run now to the things
they said could restore me
Restore life the way it should be

I'm waiting for this cough syrup
to come down

One more spoon of cough syrup now, whoa
One more spoon of cough syrup now, whoa

"Again great job Blaine," Mr. Shue says as he stands. "Anyone else? No? Ok guys, then I'll see you tomorrow."

"Will can I talk to you please?" Shelby asks as we're all gathering our stuff together.

"Um...sure Shelby," Shue answers warily.

"Great follow me," she says as she heads towards the door. "Oh, Noah and Rachel? You two are coming to my place for dinner on thursday," she orders us before finally leaving, Mr. Shue dragging behind her.

"Oh shit. Why?" Noah asks worriedly as we all head into the parking lot.

"I don't know. It could just be that she misses you guys," Blaine says with a shrug, not really paying attention to the group. I follow his gaze to where he's staring to see Karofsky talking with Azimio, but Dave's eyes are trained on Blaine.

"Hey Blaine, whacha lookin at?" I question as I sling my arm over his shoulder.

"What? Nothing," he says quickly after jumping a foot in the air. His cheeks flush a bright red and we all laugh at him as we make it to the parking lot.

"Were you just checking out David?" Kurt asks in curiosity.

"No!" Blaine shouts a little too quickly, his cheeks turning impossibly redder.

"There's nothing to be ashamed of. I mean he's pretty sexy," Kurt tells him.

"Hey!" Sam yells indigently from beside him before pouting.

"Oh hush Sam. You know I love you, and that you're all the sexy man I need," Kurt says with a grin before giving him a quick kiss.

"Damn right I am," Sam says smugly before opening his car door for Kurt. "And I love you too sweetie," he adds on after receiving a glare from Kurt.

"Aww..." Quinn, Noah, and Mike mock.

"Whipped!" Santana and I yell at the same time as the others. Brittany and Quinn turn and glare at us and we both look down with a mumbled apology. Everyone just laughs at us and then we finally go our separate ways.


"Where's your brother?" Papi asks as soon as Quinn and I walk into the living room.

"I don't know. Probably some skanks house," I answer him with a shrug. He scowls at me for a moment before heaving a sigh and gesturing to the couch.

"What's wrong Hiram?" Quinn asks hesitantly at his expression as we both take a seat.

"We got some news today and it's not very pleasant," Daddy says as he walks in from the kitchen. He sets a glass of water in front of me and my mind immediately goes to the worst possible scenarios.

"What?" I ask fearfully.

"We got a call from our lawyer today, and he told us that Finn is getting out of jail next week," Papi tells us with a frown.

"What!" I exclaim in outrage as I jump up from the couch.

"Rachel calm down please," Daddy says as I begin to pace angrily.

"No! Fuck that! Why is he getting out after only a few months? I thought he was going to be in there for two years?"

"If you'll calm down we'll tell you," Papi tells me. I just continue pacing around the living room, silently fuming.

"I just...I can't," I say before grabbing my bike keys and heading outside. Quinn follows me, but before she can stop me I'm already speeding away.

Quinn POV

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck! Damn it why does she always have to be so fucking- Ugh! As soon as her bike's out of sight I run back inside and stop in front of Leroy and Hiram.

"Why in the hell is he getting out early," I demand, hopping from foot to foot and wanting to chase after Rachel but not knowing where to go.

"His lawyer appealed the case because of the main suspect going back on his word. He ended saying that Finn never paid him to-to...you know. Since Finn's entire case was built off of that guys word, once he went back on it stating that it was false, Finn's entire case was thrown out," Leroy explains, anger radiating off of him.

"That's bullshit!" I exclaim before pulling my phone from my jeans and calling Puck. It goes straight to voicemail and I growl in frustration. "Puck when you're done being a manwhore either call me back or try and get a hold of your sister. Quickly," I bark into the phone before hanging up and calling Santana.

"What bitch I'm busy," Santana demands as soon as she picks up her phone.

"Rachel took off on her bike and I have no idea where she went," I rush out in panic.

"What do you mean she took off?" she asks in a confused and slightly worried tone.

"Finn's getting out of jail next week, and once she heard that she just left. We need to find her San before she does something stupid," I say, holding back tears.

"Hey calm down Cap. We've got this. I'll take the cemetery, you take the school, and I'll call the others and have them help. Ok?"

"Yeah. Yeah, ok. Call me if you find her please," I say before hanging up and grabbing the jeep keys from their hook. "I'm going to find Rae, so I'll be back. Call me if she shows up," I yell into the living room before jumping into the jeep and taking off in the direction Rachel did.
