AN: So I know that I haven't updated this for a while, and I also know that it's pretty short when you add in the songs, but I'm still pretty stuck when it comes to this story. I have some pretty horrible writers block concerning it, but I wanted to at least give the people who actually read this story a little something to tide you over, cause I have no idea when I'm going to be updating this again. Again my apologies, and I hope you enjoy what little I've managed to give you.
Disclaimer: Glee's not mine
It's been two weeks since Finn's release and Shue's transfer, and thankfully things have seemed to calm down again. Quinn and I are currently lounging in my bed, unfortunately not doing anything fun because we have to be at the school for sectionals in thirty minutes.
"Ready?" Noah questions as he walks into my room. I heave a sigh before standing up and helping Quinn off the bed.
"Lets do this," I tell him with a smirk as we head downstairs to say goodbye to our dads.
"What took you so long?" Ma snaps as we walk into the choir room a few minutes late. I raise my hands in defense before stepping behind Quinn for protection.
"You know how Daddy and Papi get," Noah tells her with a shrug.
"They went on a picture taking rampage?" Ma questions, this time with a smirk.
"They really did," Quinn laughs as we grab our dresses from the rack and head to the bathroom to get changed. Our sectionals outfits consist of the guys wearing grey slacks, black dress shoes, a purple long-sleeved button up, and a black skinny tie, while the girls wear a purple and grey dress with black heels.
"You look magnificent," I tell Quinn as I step out of my stall to see her applying her make-up in the mirror.
"Me? Look at you baby. I never get to see you in a dress unless it's for something like this, but when you are in one you always look breathtaking," Quinn tells me as she turns around to look me over slowly.
"Yeah, well...you know," I mumble out shyly. Quinn just grins at me before pulling me into kiss.
"Get your asses out here!" Santana yells as she barges into the bathroom, effectively making Quinn and I pull apart.
"What is it with you and always interrupting us?" I growl at my cousin as I push past her and into the hallway.
"Hey don't blame me. Shelby told me to come and break up your make-out session so we can finish getting ready for the competition," Santana tells me with a smirk. I just roll my eyes at her before taking Quinn's hand and walking back towards the choir room.
Twenty minutes later we're standing backstage and getting ready to go on, and I can't wait. This years song category was random mix, so we were able to pick three amazing songs from three awesome genres. And of course I got the solo again. Finally after Aural Intensity finished on stage it was our turn and the boys ran onstage excitedly as the music for our first song began.
[Blaine]
You're insecure,
Don't know what for,
You're turning heads when you walk through the door,
Don't need make-up,
To cover up,
Being the way that you are is enough,
[Sam]
Everyone else in the room can see it,
Everyone else but you,
[Blaine, Sam, Artie, Puck, Mike]
Baby you light up my world like nobody else,
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed,
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell,
You don't know,
Oh oh,
You don't know you're beautiful,
If only you saw what I can see,
You'll understand why I want you so desperately,
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe,
You don't know,
Oh oh,
You don't know you're beautiful,
Oh oh,
That's what makes you beautiful
[Artie]
So c-come on,
You got it wrong,
To prove I'm right,
I put it in a song,
I don't know why,
You're being shy,
And turn away when I look into your eye eye eyes,
[Sam]
Everyone else in the room can see it,
Everyone else but you,
[All]
Baby you light up my world like nobody else,
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed,
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell,
You don't know,
Oh oh,
You don't know you're beautiful,
If only you saw what I can see,
You'll understand why I want you so desperately,
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe,
You don't know,
Oh oh,
You don't know you're beautiful,
Oh oh,
[Sam]
That's what makes you beautiful
[All]
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na x2
[Sam]
Baby you light up my world like nobody else,
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed,

The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed,
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell,
You don't know,
Oh oh,
You don't know you're beautiful ([Puck:]Oh),
If only you saw what I can see,
You'll understand why I want you so desperately ([Puck:]desperately),

You don't know,

That's what makes you beautiful
After their song's over I walk on stage and stand in front of the microphone in the center that's waiting for me. I take a deep breath before grinning and nodding at the band for them to begin playing.
Dry lightning cracks across the skies
Those storm clouds gather in her eyes
Her daddy was a mean old mister
Mama was an angel in the ground
The weather man called for a twister
She prayed blow it down
There's not enough rain in Oklahoma
To wash the sins out of that house
There's not enough wind in Oklahoma
To rip the nails out of the past
Shatter every window 'til it's all blown away,
Every brick, every board, every slamming door blown away
'til there's nothing left standing,
Nothing left of yesterday
Every tear-soaked whiskey memory blown away,
Blown away
She heard those sirens screaming out
Her daddy laid there passed out on the couch
She locked herself in the cellar
Listened to the screaming of the wind
Some people called it taking shelter
She called it sweet revenge
Shatter every window 'til it's all blown away,
Every brick, every board, every slamming door blown away
'til there's nothing left standing,
Nothing left of yesterday
Every tear-soaked whiskey memory blown away,
Blown away
There's not enough rain in Oklahoma
To wash the sins out of that house
There's not enough wind in Oklahoma
To rip the nails out of the past
Shatter every window 'til it's all blown away (blown away)
Every brick, every board, every slamming door blown away (blown away)
'til there's nothing left standing,
Nothing left of yesterday (blown away)
Every tear-soaked whiskey memory blown away,
Blown away, blown away, blown away, blown away, blown away
After I'm done holding out my last note I take a moment to appreciate my standing ovation before taking a quick bow and rushing over to my mark to get ready for a final song, which was a group number.
[All]
Some nights, I stay up cashing in my bad luck
Some nights, I call it a draw
Some nights, I wish that my lips could build a castle
Some nights, I wish they'd just fall off
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for oh
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
Most nights, I don't know anymore...
Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa oh oh
Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa oh oh
[Puck]
This is it, boys, this is war - what are we waiting for?
Why don't we break the rules already?
I was never one to believe the hype - save that for the black and white
I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked, but here they come again to jack my style
[Rachel]
And that's alright; I found a martyr in my bed tonight
She stops my bones from wondering just who I am, who I am, who I am
Oh, who am I? mmm... mmm...
[Kurt]
Well, some nights, I wish that this all would end
Cause I could use some friends for a change
And some nights, I'm scared you'll forget me again
Some nights, I always win, I always win...
[All]
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for, oh
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
Most nights, I don't know... come on
[Mike]
So this is it? I sold my soul for this?
Washed my hands of God for this?
I miss my mom and dad for this?
(Come on)
[Santana]
No. When I see stars, when I see, when I see stars, that's all they are
When I hear songs, they sound like this one, so come on
Oh, come on. Oh, come on, [Mercedes, Santana:]OH COME ON!
[Blaine]
Well, that is it guys, that is all - five minutes in and I'm bored again
Ten years of this, I'm not sure if anybody understands
This one is not for the folks at home; Sorry to leave, mom, I had to go
Who the fuck wants to die alone all dried up in the desert sun?
[Tina]
My heart is breaking for my sister and the con that she call "love"
When I look into my nephew's eyes...
Man, you wouldn't believe the most amazing things that can come from...
Some terrible lies...ahhh...
[All]
Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa, oh oh
Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa, oh oh
[Quinn]
The other night, you wouldn't believe the dream I just had about you and me
I called you up, but we'd both agree
It's for the best you didn't listen
[All]
It's for the best we get our distance... oh...
[Brittany]
It's for the best you didn't listen
[All]
It's for the best we get our distance... oh...
Once again the crowd stands as we complete our final song, and after taking our bows we run off the stage and towards our choir room in excitement.
"Oh my god we killed it!" Santana screams as she engulfs Brittany in a huge hug and kiss. Blaine picks me up and spins me around as Noah does the same to Quinn, and once we're finally released we make our way towards eachother.
"You were brilliant out there," Quinn whispers against my lips before capturing them in a heated kiss.
"So were you," I pant out after we finally break apart.
"I didn't do anything," she tells me with her signature eyebrow raise. Damn I love when she does that.
"Of course you did," I tell her incredulously.
"I had a verse baby. It was nothing compared to your solo," she tells me while rolling her eyes.
"Hey! That verse was important and you damn well know it," I huff out, barely restraining myself from stomping my foot.
"Alright guys the judges are ready," my ma tells us as she walks into the choir room with a face splitting grin. "Before we hear the results though I want you all to know that you did amazing out there, and personally I think we've got this."
We all cheer loudly at that before rushing towards the door and cramming ourselves out of it and into the hallway. We eagerly make our way towards the stage and Quinn has to wrap her arm around me to keep me still because I'm so excited.
"In third place...Aural Intensity!" the announcer guy tells everyone, and we all clap politely for the third place. "Now...in first place..." everyone holds their breath and I squeeze Quinn around her waist tightly. "New Directions!"
We go crazy at hearing our names and start jumping around the stage in excitement. Quinn pulls me into a breathtaking kiss, and when we manage to pull apart I see Santana and Britt doing the same exact thing. Once competition down, and one to go before Nationals.
So again I apologize for the writers block, and the length of this update. The songs were "What Makes You Beautiful" by One Direction, "Blown Away" by Carrie Underwood, and "Some Nights" by Fun. Thanks for taking the time to read, and I hope you enjoyed.
