I don't own anything expect my OC.
Ryder's POV
It was the day of auditions! I was standing backstage with Marley and clasping her hand. She was shaking with what I could only assume were nerves.
"Did your sister ever talk about you to the others?" I asked, trying to calm her down.
"No." she said simply. "The only people who know about me are Kurt, Finn and Blaine as far as I know. That's why I put "Marley B" on the sign-up sheet. I didn't want Mr Schue to expect anything off me just because of who I am. Surely you understand that?" she asked, turning to me.
"Of course. That's why I did the same thing. People will know who I am soon enough." I said shrugging.
"Exactly." She said, she let out long sigh and looked towards the ceiling.
"You're going to be fine Marley." I told her, my voice laced with confidence for her.
"Marley B!" Mr Schue called. She gave me a hug and then walked on stage.
Marley's POV
I walked onto the stage. This was it, this is the audition that could start my life.
"Oh god." I internally kicked myself. Why did I have to tell myself that? I was nervous before and then I go and make it a thousand times worse.
Before I could tell myself off even more, Mr Schue's voice cut through my thoughts.
"What's your name?" he asked. I looked up at him and realised he was surrounded by the New Directions.
"Marley." I told him with a shaky voice.
"We're going to need more than that." Sam said, moving over to the microphone that was currently in front of Mr Schue.
"He's right Marley, we need to know your second name too."
I didn't understand that logic but I guess it was now or never. "My name is Marley Berry." I told them. Their mouths all immediately dropped open. I waited a few moments and they still hadn't said anything.
"As in Rachel Berry?" Tina asked.
"Yes." I said nervously.
"I know we seem shocked but Rachel never mentioned that she had a sister. She never talked about you?" Mr Schue told me. He kept his voice soft and calm as though he thought that this news would break me. I calmly shook my head.
"I already knew that. It was my idea for her to not tell anyone about me. The only people who knew where Finn and Kurt."
"So it doesn't bother you that she kept you a secret?" Artie asked.
"Nope, like I said, I wanted it that way. I wanted to make my own mark for when I started here. If you all knew about me, you'd make assumptions based on Rachel and that's something neither of us wanted."
They looked shameful after my speech as if they knew that would have happened. "Can I sing now?" I asked.
That seemed to pull them out of their sorry state. "Yes, of course you can Marley, I'm sorry to keep you waiting." Mr Schue said, clearly flustered.
I nodded to Ryder who had already put the instamental version of my song in the player, he pressed play and I waited for my cue to start.
Some folks like to get away
For a holiday from the neighborhood
Hop a flight to Miami Beach
Or to Hollywood, ooh ooh
But I'm taking a Greyhound
On the Hudson River Line
I'm in a New York state of mind
Ooh, It was so easy living day by day
Out of touch with the rhythm and the blues
But now I need a little give and take
The New York Times,
The Daily News
Oh, It comes down to reality
And it's fine with me
'cause I've let it slide
Don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside, ooh ooh
I don't have any reasons
I've left them all behind
I'm in a New York state of
Mind!
Oh!
I'm just taking a Greyhound
On the Hudson River Line
'Cause I'm in
I'm in a New York state of
Mind
Ooh
New York
State
Of mind
When I finished, I stood there, scared as hell and when no-one said anything, I started to panic a little. "I'm not as good as Rachel and that's all they can see." I thought to myself. I was about to run off stage when Mr Schue spoke. "That was amazing Marley. You definitely take after Rachel but at the same time you have your own unique talent."
"If she's not in, I swear you've gone crazy Mr Schue." Sam commented from behind him.
"You don't need to worry about that. I'd be crazy not to accept you." He said grinning.
"I'm in?" I asked in disbelief.
"Most definitely." He answered.
"Yes!" I shouted, laughing in pure joy. "Thank you!" I said happily and ran off stage, into Ryder's waiting arms.
"What did I tell you? I knew you'd get in." he told me, hugging me tightly.
"I'm so happy." I said simply as I hugged him tighter. I didn't have time to say anything else to him because his name was called.
Ryder's POV
I kind of went through that same thing that Marley did. I stepped on stage and looked towards the New Directions. Blaine gave me a wink and I walked to the middle of the stage.
"My name is Ryder Hummel." I told them confidently. Again, their mouths instantly hung open, apart from Blaine's.
"I didn't know Kurt had a brother." Brittany commented.
"None of us did. Apparently our graduating students had a lot of secrets." Mr Schue said, he was just as confused as the rest of them.
"Finn is my brother too." I told them.
"Yes, we know he's your step brother." Mr Schue said.
"No, Burt and Carole are my biological parents. Kurt and Finn are my half-brothers." Again, their mouths opened in shock. Mr Schue then turned to Blaine.
"Did you know?" he asked.
"Of course I did. Kurt is my boyfriend." He said, like it was obvious.
"So why didn't you tell anyone?" Sam asked.
"Because Ryder asked me not too and I respect that. I'm guessing him and Marley have the same reasons for it, they don't want to be in the shadow of their siblings and that makes sense to me, I never told anyone about Cooper." He told them as explanation.
They all seemed to understand and I was able to sing my song.
It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
Don't have much money, but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live
If I was a sculptor, ha, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a traveling show
Oh, I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song, and this one's for you
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple, but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well, a few of the verses, well, they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite bright while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on
So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple, but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
While you're in the world
"Fantastic Ryder." Mr Schue said. "Are you planning on following in Kurt or Finn's footsteps?"
"I've not really thought about. I don't really want to be on Broadway, that's Kurt's domain but I like the thought of singing for a living. I'm only a freshman, I have loads of time to figure it out." I told him dismissively.
"Well, I hope the New Directions can help you do that." Mr Schue said warmly before dismissing me off the stage where I was met with Marley bouncing up and down happily for me. "I'm so glad you got in! I couldn't have imagined being in that room without you." She said before hugging me.
"I'm happy too Marls." I told her.
Jake's POV
Puck always told me that Glee Club sorted him out, helped him to become a man and that I should definitely consider joining. I also know that he had a hard time with his football teammates after he did join and they occasionally threw a slushie at him. Now, I wasn't the kind of guy to join the football team, it wasn't my thing, but I never wanted to endure a slushie facial. Puck hardly ever got one but on the rare occasion that he did, they didn't look like fun and I vowed that when I got here, that wasn't going to be me.
Unique's POV
"Unique Adams?" I was called and I walked onto the stage with as much confidence as I could muster.
"Hello Unique. Is that your real name?"
"Erm, of course." I lied and then mentally slapped myself. I could tell that the others didn't believe me and it wasn't going to turn out well when someone found out the truth.
I threw a wish in the well,
Don't ask me, I'll never tell
I looked to you as it fell,
And now you're in my way.
I'd trade my soul for a wish,
Pennies and dimes for a kiss
I wasn't looking for this,
But now you're in my way.
Your stare was holdin',
Ripped jeans, skin was showin'
Hot night, wind was blowing'
Where you think you're going, baby?
Hey, I just met you
And this is crazy
But here's my number
So call me, maybe?
It's hard to look right
At you baby
But here's my number
So call me, maybe?
Hey! I just met you
And this is crazy
But here's my number
So call me, maybe?
And all the other boys
Try to chase me
But here's my number,
So call me, maybe?
You took your time with the call
I took no time with the fall
You gave me nothing at all
But still, you're in my way
I beg and borrow and steal
Had foresight and it's real
I didn't know I would feel it
But it's in my way
Your stare was holdin'
Ripped jeans, skin was showin'
Hot night, wind was blowin'
Where you think you're going, baby?
Hey, I just met you
And this is crazy
But here's my number
So call me, maybe?
It's hard to look right
At you baby
But here's my number
So call me, maybe?
Hey! I just met you
And this is crazy
But here's my number
So call me, maybe?
And all the other boys
Try to chase me
But here's my number
So call me, maybe?
Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
I missed you so bad
I missed you so, so bad
Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
And you should know that
I missed you so, so bad
It's hard to look right,
At you baby,
But here's my number,
So call me, maybe?
Hey, I just met you
And this is crazy
But here's my number
So call me, maybe?
And all the other boys
Try to chase me
But here's my number
So call me, maybe?
Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
I missed you so bad
I missed you so, so bad
Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
You should know that
So call me maybe?
I gave them all a subtle wink and walked off the stage before waiting to hear if I'd even got in. How could I not get in?
Kitty's POV
The first chance I got, I joined the Glee club. Quinn joined straight away and she went on to win a National championships. I would love to have two National championships under my belt before I've ever made it to my sophomore year. That would definitely make my dad proud.
Once Coach Sylvester had finally got over the shock of me being a Fabrey, she gave me a uniform almost straight away, a massive grin on her face and mumbling about how she was definitely going to win another championship with me on the team. I swiftly left before I could be sucked into more of her crazy.
When lunch time came, I went straight to the auditorium. Other people were waiting there too so I waited patiently for my turn.
"Kitty Fabrey." A tentative voice called and I marched on stage.
I stood in front of a group of students who I remember Quinn telling me about.
"Fabrey…..That must be a mistake?" Mr Schue asked.
"Nope, my sister is Quinn and Frannie Fabrey. I am here to continue the legacy." I told them all confidently.
"I didn't know Quinn had a younger sister." Brittany said from the back row.
"Seriously?" the boy in the wheelchair asked.
"I can answer that. I was sent to a boarding school at a young age. Brittany and Santana never met me but I was told stories about them, along with a lot of you." I told them.
"So why did she never tell us about you?" Sam asked. "I was her boyfriend and she never once mentioned you."
"I don't control what Quinn does. You all should know as well as me that Quinn kept things to herself all the time. If Quinn doesn't want to talk about me, that's her business." I told them, shrugging it off.
"Well then Kitty, why don't you show us if you have the same talent as your sister."
Soft music started to play, I sat on a stool and sang.
I'm wide awake
Yeah, I was in the dark
I was falling hard
With an open heart
I'm wide awake
How did I read the stars so wrong?
I'm wide awake
And now it's clear to me
That everything you see
Ain't always what it seems
I'm wide awake
Yeah, I was dreaming for so long
I wish I knew then
What I know now
Wouldn't dive in
Wouldn't bow down
Gravity hurts
You made it so sweet
Till I woke up on
On the concrete
Falling from cloud nine
Crashing from the high
I'm letting go tonight
Yeah, I'm falling from cloud nine
Not losing any sleep
I picked up every piece
And landed on my feet
Need nothing to complete myself
Oh
I'm wide awake
Yeah, I am born again
Out of the lion's den
I don't have to pretend
And it's too late
The story's over now, the end, yeah
I wish I knew then
What I know now
Wouldn't dive in
Wouldn't bow down
Gravity hurts
You made it so sweet
Till I woke up on
On the concrete
Falling from cloud nine
Crashing from the high
I'm letting go tonight
Yeah, I'm falling from cloud nine
I'm wide awake!
I'm wide awake!
I'm wide awake!
Hold on
I'm wide awake! (God knows that I've tried)
I'm wide awake! (Seeing the bright side)
But I'm not blind anymore
I'm wide awake!
I'm falling from cloud nine
It was out the blue, I'm
Crashing from the high
You know I'm letting go tonight
Yeah, I'm ready to go,
I'm falling from cloud nine
I'm wide awake
My stripped back version of the Katy Perry song left them open mouthed and speechless and I smirked confidently. I knew I had it in the bag.
"That was wonderful Kitty. You're definitely in."
"I thought so." I smirked and walked off stage leaving as the newest member of the New Directions but definitely not taking my sister's place.
Mr. Schue's POV
We definitely had a huge mix of people attending the auditions this year and we have definitely had a lot of surprises. I had finally completed the list of who was coming and now I was walking down the hall ready to post it on the notice board. I could see some of the people who had auditioned waiting to see the result.
As soon as I posted it up, the kids behind me rushed forward and I was pushed backwards.

Blaine Anderson
Sam Evans
Tina Cohen-Chang
Artie Abrams
