Disclaimer: Trust me I don't own glee. It would be completely different if i did.
This week has been the most ridiculous yet.
First she finally figures out who in glee club hasn't been pulling their own weight and the excuses are absolutely ludicrous. She vows that once she gets her voice back she will be having personal tutoring lessons with Brittany herself just so that the lyrics will no longer be a problem for her.
Speaking of her voice...
It really is the glee club's fault her voice is gone. She is the star and she will be the first to admit that but even stars need to rest every once in awhile. This will not stand.
And now she is sitting here watching Noah perform a lovely rat pack song...to Mercedes?
What on earth is going on?
The song doesn't even fit her. And she's not saying that because she's jealous or anything. Mercedes doesn't even like the theater. After all, she continuously makes complaints about the amount of show tunes performed during glee and has made numerous attempts to turn this into "Crunk club" with help from Mr. Schuester.
She watches Noah croon and dance around Mercedes who looks slightly horrified and confused. This is not the kind of reaction one should have when Noah Puckerman takes the time and effort to serenade you.
Rachel should know after all. She was the first.
This entire situation is preposterous. Noah singing a rat pack song by a Jewish icon to Mercedes...she wasn't Jewish and she certainly would not understand what such a thing means to people like she does.
Wait...why is she even concentrating on this when she has so many other problems at her hands? Her voice...Finn...Jesse. Noah and whom he decides to dedicate his songs is none of her business...at all.
Because you know...this lump in her throat...and the heat surrounding her face? The pit in her stomach? It's not anger and it's certainly not jealousy. It's her illness. That's exactly what it is...
At least that's what she'll keep telling herself as Mercedes voice takes over the blends with Noah's...she wishes she knew how a duet with him would sound like…
