(Song: Someone like you by Jenny Lane and Corey Gray)
Selena
Puck
Both
The band began to play the first chords on their guitars and I began to sing the first lines with a little roughness in my voice. My mom loved the raspy hint of it.
I heard that you're settled down,
That you found a girl and you're married now.
I heard that your dreams came true,
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you
I made my way to Noah and put one of my hands on his chest. His strong chest, I could almost feel his muscles under his white button up shirt.
Old friend, why are you so shy?
I looked him in the eyes and get lost in them but I continued with the song.
Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light.
Then Noah took the part and I could swear that a blush was forming on my cheeks. His voice was so sweet but rough at the same time.
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited,
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it,
I had hoped you'd see my face,
And that you'd be reminded that for me it isn't over.
He took my other hand in his and looked at me with these dreamy eyes.
When the refrain began our voices melted together and I could see the faces from the others in my cantus. Rachel looked shocked but Mercedes and Tina looked like they'll begin to cry any minute.
Never mind, I'll find someone like you.
I wish nothing but the best for you, too.
Don't forget me, I beg,
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead."
Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead, yeah.
I reached with one hand to his face and cupped his cheek with it. He looked at me longingly. My heart began to jump out of my chest and I forget the world around us. Stupid little girl, I think I'm falling for the badass.
You know how the time flies,
Only yesterday was the time of our lives.
We were born and raised in a summer haze,
Bound by the surprise of our glory days.
He sang and began to turn away from me.
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited,
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it,
I had hoped you'd see my face,
And that you'd be reminded that for me it isn't over.
At the following lines I reached my hand to him and grabbed his wrist to hold him from getting away.
Never mind, I'll find someone like you,
I wish nothing but the best for you, too.
Don't forget me, I beg,
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead."
He shook my hand away and faced me as we continued.
Nothing compares,
No worries or cares,
Regrets and mistakes, they're memories made,
Who would have known howbittersweet this would taste?
We stand know faced to each other with a distance between us as we started the refrain again.
Never mind, I'll find someone like you.
I wish nothing but the best for you.
Don't forget me, I beg,
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead."
We were walking to each other again.
Never mind, I'll find someone like you,
I wish nothing but the best for you, too.
Don't forget me, I beg,
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead."
Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead.
As we ended the song I had my head against his chest and he had wrapped his arms around me and holds me tight.
Absolute silence and when we released each other after some awards minutes the others began to clap.
"Wow, that was… awesome. Great job you two." Mr. Schue said with a big smile on his face.
We made our way back to our seats and sat down. "So, after our last performance I think we should vote for the winners. Every one of you wrote the name of the couple on a piece of paper and I will count the voices. After Mr. Schue finished with the counting he turned around to us with a big smile. "Okay, we have a winner team. Applause to… Puck and Selena. And I'm glad to say that this will you will be our starting performance on regional's. I couldn't believe it, we actual won this thing, yeah. I smiled to Noah who looked a little lost but recovered and smiled to me too. "It looks like we have a date tomorrow." He said and gave me a once over.
A date with Puck the guy who slept with more than the half of the population of this school. Students and maybe even teachers. Great Lena, just great. Nothing will happen. No touching, no kissing, absolutely nothing. Who are you kidding? Shit.
