"Okay, so our focus this week should be pretty obvious to you guys," Mr. Schue began, "Sectionals. I know we can win this, but we have to finish our songs first. Brooke and Christopher?"
"Actually, Mr. Schue, we're all ready finished! You guys ready to be blown away?" Christopher asked.
"Of course! Let's hear it then you two!" Mr. Schue replied.
Brooke and Christopher sang their song to the whole Glee Club, and everybody loved it.
"That's perfect you guys! I know we can win this!" Mr. Schue said.
"Thanks Mr. Schue! We worked really hard on this song, and don't worry, we're gonna win this for sure!" Brooke replied.
"I know, I have complete confidence in you all. Let's keep working though, we haven't won just yet," Mr. Schue finished.
After the meeting, Brooke went to see Kurt at his locker. She walked around the corner and spotted Blaine, Kurt's boyfriend. She froze. Had he told him about what she did yet? She did apologize right away, but she had a feeling that it didn't make much of a difference.
Nevertheless, she mustered up the courage to walk over there and at least attempt to talk to them.
"Hey guys," Brooke said.
"Oh, hey. You're… Brooke, right?" Blaine asked.
"Uh yeah, that's… that's me."
"Well it's nice to meet you Brooke. I hear you and Kurt have become really good friends since you moved here."
"Yeah, we have."
"Don't be trying to steal him away from me now, you know he's gay!" Blaine teased. Maybe Kurt hadn't told him yet?
"Yeah, of course not. I know he's gay."
"Yeah. Well, hey, I have to go," he said, kissing Kurt on the cheek, "I'll see you on our date tonight Kurt, and Brooke, I hope we'll see each other again soon."
"I'm sure you will…" she mumbled as he walked away. After she thought he was out of earshot, she finally said something to Kurt, "Why didn't you tell him? He's your boyfriend, I thought for sure you would have…"
"Brooke, I'm gay, okay? Keep your little schoolgirl crush to yourself, and don't go kissing on people who are all ready taken. You know, I thought you were different than those Cheerio girls, but, turns out, you're not. I only didn't tell Blaine, because it meant nothing. As far as I'm concerned, it never happened. Let's just move on from this, because I still want to be friends. Don't make me change my mind," he said as he walked away, leaving Brooke there to process what he had just said to her.
"Mom?" Christopher's voice echoed throughout his house, "Mom? Are you home? I brought Sam home with me, I thought you two should meet?"
"Sure thing honey, I'll be down in a second," the voice of his mom replied.
"Okay, we're good Sam, she's home. I just didn't think it'd be a good idea to have you over without her being home just yet. At least not until after you two meet," Christopher said to his boyfriend.
"Yeah, I wouldn't want to cause any problems for you," he replied.
"Don't worry Sam, you are far from a problem in my mind," Christopher said with a smile, "Besides, you're way too cute to be mad at!"
"Even my lips?"
"You're adorable, Trouty Mouth," Christopher teased, laughing.
"Thanks," Sam said, laughing too. Christopher's laugh was so infectious, he couldn't help himself.
"Well, don't be a stranger! Sit down!" Christopher's mom said as she walked down the stairs towards them.
"Hi Mrs Jones, my name's Sam Evans," Sam said politely as he reached out to shake her hand.
"Oh, don't be so shy, give me a hug! We're practically family!" she replied, hugging him, "I know who you are, Christopher has told me all about you! And don't call me Mrs. Jones, call me Michelle."
"Okay, thanks Michelle," Sam replied, still trying to sound polite. He wanted this to go over well. After all, this was his Christopher's mom, and Christopher was more important to him than anything in the world.
"You boys hungry? I'm making fried chicken for dinner!" Michelle said.
"Really Mom? You're the best!" Christopher replied, giving her a hug.
"Anything for my boy and his boyfriend! Well, I'll go get started right away. You boys just sit down and hang out until I'm done. I'll call you as soon as it's ready!" She finished as she hurried off into the kitchen.
"Wow, your mom IS awesome," Sam said.
"I told you so!" Christopher replied, "She really wants things to work out for us too. She's always done her best to take care of me."
"That's awesome, you're really lucky. I mean, my parents have always done their best too, but your mom has taken care of you like this all by herself. My parents can barely afford a one room apartment for my whole family right now…"
"Don't worry Sam, things will get better. I promise. And honestly, I don't know how my mom does it. She's just that amazing I guess," Christopher replied, "But so are you"
Sam smiled, "I love you Christopher."
"I love you too Sam," he replied, smiling back.
Brooke was more nervous than she had ever been in her entire life. This was her big moment, her big chance. Her performance could be the difference between them winning…or them losing. She had to be absolutely spectacular. The other teams were amazing though, how could she ever measure up to them?
"Hey Brookey, you ready to blow them away?" Christopher asked, interrupting her nervous thinking.
"Uh yeah, s-sure," she replied.
"Come on Brookey, calm down. You're going to be great. And remember, we're all going to be out there with you. So don't be so nervous; after all, you did earn the solo. Mr. Schue picked you because you were the best singer by far. You can do this Brookey, we believe in you! Well, most of us do anyway."
"Thanks Christopher, you're an amazing friend. Okay, let's do this!"
She walked out onto the stage in front of everyone, and instantly became ten times more nervous than she originally was. However, once the music began, she could feel it and the nerves went away. She began to sing the song Christopher and her wrote with all of the emotion she had in her.
Ever since the day that we met
I knew there was something about you
I just didn't know what yet
And now that I do
I have to wonder what went wrong
I'm always thinkin' about you
Do you know what it's like
To feel this pain
Do you know what it's like
To have everything to lose
And nothing to gain
Do you know what it's like
To be in love with you
To be in love with you
I still see you all the time
But we don't talk anymore
I still wish that you were mine
Come on, tell me what I have to do
Don't make me wait around baby
How can I get back to you
Do you know what it's like
To feel this pain
Do you know what it's like
To have everything to lose
And nothing to gain
Do you know what it's like
To be in love with you
Oh, do you know what it's like
To be in love with you
In love with you
Instantly the whole crowd stood up and began clapping enthusiastically. Brooke smiled the biggest smile she ever had in her entire life and could just feel the happiness building up inside her. She could tell she had sung it perfectly!
"We're from Lima, Ohio, and we're called the New Directions," she announced to the audience.
Everyone got in position, and they began their group number.
Some of us, we just coast through our lives
While others of us, we take the tough dives
Some of us give up when the going gets tough
But others of us run headfirst through the rough
We all have a wish
We all have a dream
Chasing after them
Is easier than it seems
Never give up
Never back down
Anything is possible
Now go get your crown
Go get your crown
Go get your crown, yeah
Some of us fly high, while others lay low
Some of us sing it out, while others listen as they go
Don't just sit there and let life pass you by
Grab it by the reins and soar through the sky
We all have a wish
We all have a dream
Chasing after them
Is easier than it seems
Never give up
Never back down
No, no
Anything is possible
Now go get your crown
Go get your crown
Go get your crown
Oh, go get your crown
Never give up
Never back down
Anything is possible
Now go get your crown
Another enthusiastic applause rushes through the crowd as they finish and walk off stage. Now all that was left to do was wait until the judges had come to a verdict. It was agonizing too, every minute felt like an hour. By the time all of the teams were called out onto the stage, everyone felt like they had been there for days.
"The judges have finally picked a winner. For the first place trophy and a chance to compete in Regionals, the winner is…"
Ah, cliffhangers :) so how did you guys like it? Yes, that's the end sadly! This one was great to write, especially cuz the songs here actually are mine! Wrote them myself!
Thanks so much for reading and reviewing everybody! Anymore reviews would be awesome! Oh, and guess what? There's a sequel! It's all ready been started, but won't be posted until it's well underway. I will be doing many more storylines and ideas, and it'll be much longer. Check it out when I post it!
I do not own Glee or anything from the series used in my writing. I also do not own any song lyrics on here until this chapter, those other songs belong to their writers & artists.
