No one's POV:
Mr Shu: Ok guys, it's regionals tomorrow! We've got to be ready, has everyone handed in their permission slips? Great! Are we going to win regionals?
Puck: Damn straight we are!
Rachel: Yeah, with Blaine, Kurt and Quinn singing the leads we are totally going to own this thing!
Santana: You're going down vocal adrenaline!
Mr Shu: Ha-ha! Great!
*Later that day*
Mercedes POV:
I hold the phone to my ear, breathing heavily, please pick up… please…
Sam: Hello?
Mercedes: Hey Sam
Sam: Oh… hey Mercedes
Mercedes: Sam, we need to talk…
Sam: Oh ok…
Mercedes: You know Georgia… is she…
Sam: What?
Mercedes: Is she your girlfriend?
Sam: I guess so… I mean we've been out a couple of times, she kissed me the other day, she's so beautiful and she has this amazing voice so…
Mercedes: Sam… stop…
Sam: Why? I thought we were friends!
Mercedes: Yeah? Well I thought we were a lot more than that!
Sam: Mercedes… we live thousands of miles apart…
Mercedes: Well we never broke up, I thought we were doing long distance, that's why you kept calling me! I thought I meant something to you!
Sam: Mercedes, you always meant something to me…
Mercedes: Yeah well obviously not enough!
Sam sighs, I can feel my heart breaking and it kills me
Sam: Mercedes, I'm so sorry, I know I handled it wrong, I never meant for you to get hurt
Mercedes: Yeah well, I guess now you carry on your life in California, you get your new girlfriend with her brilliant voice, and I just get heartbroken
Sam: Mercedes…
But I can't listen to this anymore… I don't want to know about him and Georgia, I don't want to know how sorry he is, I don't want to hear it, I just want a chance to be able to move on, because obviously he has… I grab my suitcase from underneath my bed and start packing for regionals; I need a good distraction…
Rachel's POV:
I walk in the door smiling, I'm carrying a whole lead of bags full to the brim with baby clothes and toys
Rachel: Finn! Hey Finn! I've brought loads of stuff for baby Will!
I walk into the main room and see Finn standing and smiling, he holds a guitar in his hands, I gently place the bags on the counter, smiling bewilderedly
Finn: You said the other day, that… the baby's ears are fully working and stuff, so I thought… it's time to say a proper hello to him…
He strums a few notes out on the guitar and smiles at me
Finn: Oh, why you look so sad?
Tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now
Hey, what you got to hide?
I get angry to
When I'm alone like you
When you're standing at the crossroads
Don't know which path to choose
Nothing you confess
Can make me love you less
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
And when, when the night falls on you baby
You're feeling all alone
You won't be on your own
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
Take me in into your darkest hours
And I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you
Rachel: Finn… that was beautiful
He pulls me in and kisses me gently, and right here and now, I know Finn will always be there for Will…
