"Rae, what are you doing?"
"What do you mean San?"
"You is gonna have to step up your game if you wants with Quinn."
"I've been thinking about how to do that."
"Big sis c'mon now. I can tell that whole family likes to be wooed. All of us are gonna have to step up our game."
"Well Satan, our duet assignment isn't due until next week. Why not start now?" Blaine chimed in as he came back to Rachel's room with three beers in his hand. "We are in choir, we sing, that can be a big start."
"Well, let's do it then," Both of his sisters said.
The next day at school is when they put their plan into place. They each taped a rose to the Fabray siblings lockers. They had decided on singing a song each separately in Glee every day. Each day they would choose a song that expressed something about the one they were after that they adored. "Mr. Shue," Rachel stood up at the beginning of glee. "My brother, sister, and I feel we should sing some other songs for you guys. After yesterday we feel that maybe we shouldn't have picked that particular song to sing to you guys."
Rachel walked to the front of the room. Today she decided to keep it particularly simple with her clothes. She had on a pink plaid shirt, boot cut, faded jeans, and a pair of gray Converse. She grabbed a stool and sat down with her guitar.
There she goes, there she goes again
Racing through my brain and I just can't contain
This feeling that remains
Rachel made sure to make eye contact with Quinn. She really liked this girl, which for Rachel Berry was very odd. She never stuck with one girl longer than three hours back in New York.
There she goes, there she goes again
Pulsing through my veins
And I just can't contain, this feeling that remains
There she goes, there she goes again
Racing through my brain and I just can't contain
This feeling that remains
Rachel flashed her megawatt smile at Quinn. Not once had either girl broken their eye contact. Rachel felt that she may have started to do something right for once in her life when she noticed Quinn smile back.
There she goes, there she goes again
She calls my name, pulls my train
No one else could heal my pain
And I just can't contain
This feeling that remains
There she goes, there she goes again
Chasing down my lane
And I just can't contain this feeling that remains
There she goes
There she goes
There she goes.
"Wow Rachel. As if what we heard last year at Nationals wasn't enough, you just reminded us how beautiful your voice really is," Mr. Shue said clapping. "Who's next?"
"I'd like to go Mr. Shue if that is okay?" Blaine spoke up.
"Alright Blaine, c'mon up."
"Rae, will you play your guitar for me?"
Rachel just grabbed another stool and sat beside her little brother. She smiled to him as she started strumming the beginning to his song. Rachel extended the beginning a bit so Blaine could explain his song. "I know this isn't technically a guy's song, but it's one of my favorites to sing and Rae and I worked on this last night slowing it down just a little bit. I hope you guys enjoy." Blaine locked eyes with Kurt as he began his song.
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
Blaine shared his famous half smile at Kurt. He'd already kissed the boy, but he wanted to let the boy know how he feels and to him, this song says it all.
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, will 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.
Blaine was getting into the song. He enjoyed performing so much that he was very guilty of getting into a song maybe a little too much. But he didn't really mind, this song spoke the feelings he was beginning to have and that's all that mattered to him.
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, will be young for ever
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'ma 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
"Blaine that was awesome. You should showcase your voice like that for us more often," Mr. Shue said. "I'm starting to see why we lost last year."
"No Mr. Shue, you lost because Pillsbury Doughboy decided to kiss blondie. Had it not been for that, you all would have beaten us," Blaine said as he got up from his stool.
"I'm sorry that I cost us a stupid trophy. You guys don't know how to let anything go," Finn said with a huff.
"Before the kid starts crying, Mr. Shue, I have a song to sing," Santana got up and sat in the stool her brother had just left.
"Okay, whenever you are ready Santana."
I stare at the girl in the mirror
T-shirt, torn up jeans, no beauty queen
But the way that you see me
You get underneath me
And all my defenses just fall away
Fall away
Santana chose a song that she felt explained how she was really like when you tore away her tough girl shell. She wanted Brittany to know that she wasn't the asshole or player that the family's reputation that followed them from New York seemed to say.
I am beautiful with you
Even in the darkest part of me
I am beautiful with you
Make it feel the way it's supposed to be
You're here with me
Just show me this and I'll believe
I am beautiful with you
She smiled at Brittany. What little bit of time she's spent with the girl, has made her feel more beautiful than anything she's ever felt before. That's another reason she chose this song. Much like her twin sister, she'd never spent more than three hours with a girl, but with Brittany, it was much more different.
I stand naked before you now
No walls to hide behind
So here am I, you see all of my scars
Still here you are
I bare my soul and I'm not afraid
Not afraid
I am beautiful with you
Even in the darkest part of me
I am beautiful with you
Make it feel the way it's supposed to be
You're here with me
Just show me this and I'll believe
I am beautiful with you
I've been the strong one for so long
But, I was wrong
Doesn't make you weak cause you needed someone
I'm not holding back and I know what I want
It was something she'd swore she'd never do. It was really the hardest thing for her to do. Letting down her walls was not something she ever did willingly, but with Brittany, she was slowly letting them down and that scared her more than anything she knew.
I am beautiful with you
I am beautiful with you
You want me for myself
Look at me at no one else
I am beautiful with you (With you)
I am beautiful with you
Even in the darkest part of me
I am beautiful with you
Make it feel the way it's supposed to be
You're here with me
Just show me this and I'll believe
That I am beautiful with you
During the entire song, Santana never let her eyes leave Brittany's. She wanted the blonde to know what she meant by the song and her family has always said words with song and through their eyes.
"Wow Santana. You know, with you three in our club now, I have high hopes for a win at nationals," Mr. Shue said as Santana went back to her chair beside her sister. "I hope you all are working on your duet assignments because they are due this Friday instead of next week. Principal Figgins wants us to participate in a pep rally next Friday so we will have to use next week to prepare for that."
"Can we just not do the duets until after sectionals seeing as they are like three weeks away? I mean do you guys even have a set list yet?" Rachel said.
"She has a point Mr. Shue. We should focus on that and practicing for sectionals before we do the duets," Kurt said.
"Fine. Tomorrow I better see some ideas thrown out for songs to perform at sectionals."
"Mr. Shue, can I sing something?" Finn asked.
"Yeah sure Finn."
"I just want you all to know, this song is dedicated to Quinn."
"Oh God, help us now," Rachel said.
Finn ignored the girl. He didn't like her, and he didn't like the way that she was going after Quinn. He will have her back. If anything so he can throw it in Rachel's face that he has the girl. Quinn is his.
Oh I had a lot to say, was thinkin' on my time away
I missed you and things weren't the same
Cause everything inside it never comes out right
And when I see you cry it makes me want to die
I'm sorry I'm bad, I'm sorry you're blue, I'm sorry about all the things I said to you
And I know, I can't take it back
I love how you kiss, I love all your sounds, and baby the way you make my world go round
And I just wanted to say I'm sorry
This time I think I'm to blame, it's harder to get through the days
You get older and blame turns to shame
Cause everything inside it never comes out right
And when I see you cry it makes me want to die
I'm sorry I'm bad, I'm sorry you're blue, I'm sorry about all the things I said to you
And I know I can't take it back
I love how you kiss, I love all your sounds, and baby the way you make my world go round
And I just wanted to say I'm sorry
Every single day I think about how we came all this way
The sleepless nights and the tears you cried, it's never too late to make it right
Oh ya, sorry
I'm sorry I'm bad, I'm sorry you're blue, I'm sorry about all the things I said to you
And I know, I can't take it back
I love how you kiss, I love all your sounds and baby the way you make my world go round
And I just wanted to say, I'm sorry.
"Look, Quinn. I know I messed up last year, but I forgave you when you slept with Puck and had that kid. Why can't you forgive me?"
The entire room got quiet. Quinn got up out of her seat with a stone cold look on her face. She walked up to Finn and as he smiled at her, holding out his arms thinking she'd gotten up to forgive him, the next sound in the room was the sound of her hand making contact with his face. She walked out of the room and Brittany followed. Kurt and Blaine were the only two to notice Puck get up and they tried to stop him but didn't reach him before he had hit Finn so hard it sounded like his nose was broken.
"Finn, I know you've said some stupid shit before, but this, this was just down right cruel. Especially since you know what happened," Sam had said. "You deserve everything that is going to be thrown at you now. No matter who it's from."
Everyone walked out of the room. Rachel and Santana decided to go look for Brittany and her sister. Kurt soon caught up to them followed closely by Blaine. "Just give her time, she won't want anyone but Brittany around right now."
