Scene 5
Sam walked into the auditorium, unsure why he actually took the time to come to the auditorium but something about that girl he met earlier just got him really curious.
Rachel grins when she notices Sam from the distance, she hops off the stages and walks up to him in small fast paced steps
Rachel: I really respect that you actually came on time, just what a potential member of the glee club should be like. It's just one of the many things I take pride in.
Rachel wrapped her arms around Sam's as he leads him down the steps quickly.
Rachel: So Shane-
She's interrupted by Sam
Sam: It's Sam.
Rachel's embarrassed by this but recovered quickly. They finally got onto the stage
Rachel: Right Sam, sorry about that. You know how hard it is to remember names of everyone when they first met.
Sam looks a little uncomfortable as Rachel went over to fix the microphone stand for him.
Sam: I still don't know what I'm doing here though.
Rachel: No fret Shane, you see, Glee Club is in desperate need of new members-
She pauses when Sam cuts her off again
Sam: Just how many members are there?
Rachel: Just me. The position of the new male soloist is up for grabs, I need someone who can keep up with me vocally and theatrically. But that's where you come in.
Sam got the idea of where this girl was coming from
Sam: That's cool and all but I never actually sang in front of someone before.
Rachel: That's no excuse, now tell me, what song do you have on your mind right now.
She finishes setting up the microphone.
Sam: I don't know… Every Rose Has It's Torn?
Rachel: Perfect! The stage's all yours, own it.
Sam smiles but started looking around
Sam: Do you happen to have a guitar lying around here?
Rachel: By the side, I'm sure the band geeks left them there.
Sam nodded and walked towards the side, grabbing a good old trusty guitar, strumming a couple of chord as he tried to tune it as quickly as he could
Rachel: Whenever you're ready Shane
Sam got in front of the microphone stand and started playing the chords to Poison's Every Rose Has It's Torn before starting to sing the first verse.
We both lie silently still
in the dead of the night
Although we both lie close together
We feel miles' apart inside
Rachel slowly sat down on one of the many auditorium seats, looking at the blonde boy as he started singing.
Was it something I said or something I did
Did the words not come out right
Though I tried not to hurt you
Though I tried
But I guess that's why they say
Sam sang it with passion, getting into the song
Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn
Yeah it does
Rachel's expression grew a little heartbroken as she heard Sam's rendition of the song, reminding her of Finn Hudson
I know I could've saved a love that night
If I'd known what to say
Instead of makin' love
We both made our separate ways
Rachel looks away, a little shaken up from the lyrics. Why was she so emotional about this? Wasn't she over Finn?
and now I hear you found somebody new
and that I never meant that much to you
And to hear that tears me up inside
And to see you cuts me like a knife
Sam started towards Rachel's way, which at this point, Rachel faces back to him and smiles. Truly enjoying the male's voice.
Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn
Once Sam sings the line last, Rachel stood up, clapping her hands wildly. She couldn't contain her excitement that she just found a new member for the glee club. From the theatre seats another person was still applauding, Rachel faced it right away.
Rachel: See Mr Schue, there's other talent out there, we just need to find it.
Sam: Who's that?
Rachel: Our coach?
She looked at Mr. Schue and he walked toward the stage
Will: Yes.
Rachel clapped and turned toward Sam.
Rachel: Well, Shane. Welcome to the Glee Club!
Sam smiles
