Who You Are

by Riri Goei

A new girl arrives at McKinley High. She is sassy and rude, but only Ryder Lynn can see that she is hiding a secret. What IS she hiding? Can Ryder find out? And will she bring new troubles to the New Directions? A little bit of Ryley and Jarley. I do not own Glee.

19. Chapter 19

The last chapter is finally here! I couldn't get this song out of my head and I love the lyrics so I had to use it.

CHAPTER NINETEEN

First, the guitar. Then, the soft taps of a tambourine.

Gina stands in a wooden stool, singing while tapping her knee.

"Da da ra da, da, da, da ra da

Da da ra da, da, da, da ra da…"

Ryder pulls in a chair and sits next to Gina, grinning as he takes the first solo.

"I'm as happy as I can be, cause I'm allergic to tragedy

The doctor says something's wrong with me,

The smile on my face has no remedy…"

The Glee clubbers sway along with Gina and Ryder as their voices blend in to form the chorus of Ricky Martin and Joss Stone's The Best Thing About Me Is You.

"So baby, don't say no, come on and just say yes,

You know it's time to keep it simple,

Let's take a chance and hope for the best

Life is short, so make it what you wanna,

Make it good don't wait until manana

I think I'm cool cause your name's on this heart shaped tattoo,

Now the best thing about me is you, oooh…"

Gina stands up from her stool and walks around the choir room, hugging everyone, as she continues singing.

"My crying days are now history,

I had a change of philosophy,

I take each day as it comes to me

And I won't take myself all that seriously,

So babe, don't say no… come on and just say yes…"

She gives Marley a long, tight hug, and the two girls giggle. She hugs Jake, nods at Unique, wraps her arms around Tina and Blaine, and gives Artie a kiss on the cheek. She smiles and nods at Mr. Schuester, who pats her on the shoulder.

"Life is short, so make it what you wanna,

Make it good, don't wait until manana…"

She walks back to Ryder, returns to her stool, and the two of them sing the rest of the song together.

"Don't say no, come on and just say yes,

You know it's time to keep it simple…"

The whole Glee club is singing along now, the band playing, everyone swaying and humming to the music. Brittany takes Sam's hands and does a little dance around the piano. Blaine and Tina join in, the two couples moving around Gina and Ryder. Sugar wheels Artie forward and the two of them do funny little dance moves. Jake takes Marley's hands and the two of them dance along with the other Glee clubbers. Unique and Joe move to stand behind Gina and Ryder.

"The best thing about me is you…"

Gina and Ryder finish the song, and the entire room breaks into applause. Everyone gathers round for a big group hug. Gina and Ryder sit side by side, grinning at each other. Harmony and peace is once again restored in Glee club.

That's a good way to end a story.
