Chapter 7

In the audition room Rachel sat on Finn's lap and smiled up at him every chance she got. He held her hand and rubbed the top of it to give her the confidence boost she needed. Shelby, Quinn, and Jesse looked disgusted with the two love birds and Shelby was the first one to speak up. "Rachel, i love that your happy and all but i mean your in public can you tone it down a little? Please for your mom!"

Rachel looked up at her and chuckled at her. "For my mom?" She asked. Shelby just simply nodded. Rachel got up from Finn's embrace and walked over to Shelby. "You think i should stop showing my love for Finn because your my mom? Wow that's hysterical! You haven't shown your face in this town since you got your new daughter and now all of a sudden you want me to listen to you? Wow your a comedian." Rachel was starting to get all worked up and started to tear. Finn quickly ran to embrace her in a nice warm hug.

"Sorry i came back to form a bond with you! I mean stupid me right?" Shelby yelled. Rachel was about to say how stupid she really was but Finn shook his head, as if knowing what was coming. "I just really love you Rach!"

Finn then stepped in. "Look not to be rude Ms. C but you do not get to call her Rach! That's only reserved for me. I mean you can call her ray or rachel or anything else but rach is my thing." He said yelling at Shelby.

"Hey dont yell at her FrankenFinn!" Jesse yelled "At least she has good intentions when all you want to do is break every girl in Lima's heart before finally getting it right!" Jesse spat. "I mean how long is it going to take until you run back to Quinn?" Jesse said walking away.

"Hey St. James that's not going to happen! I love Rachel and im sticking with her because i have gotten it right and choose the right girl finally. I mean dont get me wrong Quinn was great but she was no Rachel." He said walking over to Rachel and planting a kiss on her lips ignoring the blazing looks from Shelby and Jesse.

Ryan out of nowhere said, "Um wow that was intense but Shelby your up!" Shelby took a deep breath and walked into the room wiping away a few tears that Finn and Rachel had left there. Simon immediatley smiled when he saw her walk in.

He got up from her seat and ran up to her taking her hands in his and shaking it. "Nice to meet you im Simon Cowell! Welcome to American Idol!" Shelby looked alittle scared as the british man approached her and just nodded at him. Simon then went back to his seat and stared longingly at her. She nodded and finally introduced herself.

"Hi i'm Shelby, and i will be singing I dreamed a dream! " She took a deep breath and started singing.

I dreamed a dream in times gone by

When hope was high and life worth living

I dreamed that love would never die

I dreamed that God would be forgiving

Then I was young and unafraid

And dreams were made and used and wasted

There was no ransom to be paid

No song unsung no wine untasted

[ Lyrics from: ]

But the tigers come at night

With their voices soft as thunder

As they tear your hope apart

As they turn your dream to shame

The three judges stood up and clapped. Simon had a smile on his face and clapped his hands more. "Shelby that was marvelous! I cant believe we just heard the voice of an angel!" Simon said with happiness. "I obviously vote yes and i think by the looks of my co hosts they agree with me so welcome to Hollywood Shelby!" Shelby gave them a million dollar smile and left the room.

"You made it?" Rachel asked upset to look her in the face.

"Well it looks like your mother can do other things then being stupid right?" Shelby smirked and walked out of the room smiling.

"Quinn Fabray!" Ryan screamed bringing the blonde into the room. Quinn stood up and walked in with Ryan. Walking into the rooms she smiled at the judges.

"Hi i'm Quinn Fabray! I'll be singing I Say A Little Prayer." She said with a smile.

The moment I wake up

Before I put on my makeup

I say a little pray for you

While combing my hair now,

And wondering what dress to wear now,

I say a little prayer for you

Forever, and ever, you'll stay in my heart

And I will love you

Forever, and ever, we never will part

Oh, how I love you

Together, forever, that's how it must be

To live without you

Would only mean heartbreak for me.

"Stop, Stop. stop!" Simon ordered. He put his hand up and continued talking, "That was awful! I think you officially ruined that song for me."

"Well of course it's awful you didnt let me finish." Quinn snarked opening her mouth ready to sing.

"Mrs. Fabray i think you sounded lovely but your voice just dosent have the pitch were looking for! So im sorry honey but it's a no for me!" Paula said like she was putting her hands in a prayer formation.

"Its a no for me too Dog! Like Paula said you have a good voice but not the pitch." Randy said looking sympathetic.

"That's three no's sorry Quinn but you are not the next American Idol!" Quinn then ran out of the room crying.
