Just Another Song Chapter 15, a glee fanfic

"Regionals." Rebekah stated. "This is the last step before Nationals. This is our chance."

She didn't want to say that she had heard rumors of there being another chance out there because she didn't want to get anyone's hopes up. Even if there, she still wanted the girls to do their best.

"Now I will have the set list finished by tomorrow." She added.

"Miss Mays, before you decide, could I sing a song for your consideration?" Nova requested. It was a song about her relationship with Demetria or lack thereof.

"You can, but I can't guarantee that it will make the list." Rebekah declared before Nova began.

You got me sipping on something I can't compare to nothing
I've ever known I'm hoping that after this fever I'll survive
I know I'm acting a little bit crazy, strung out, a little bit hazy
Hand over heart I'm praying that I'm gonna make it out alive.

The bed's getting cold and you're not here, the future that we hold is so unclear
But I'm not alive until you call and I'll bet the odds against it all
Save your advice cause I won't hear, you might be right but I don't care
There's a million reasons why I should give you up
But the heart wants what it wants, the heart wants what it wants
The heart wants what it wants, the heart wants what it wants

This is a modern fairytale, no happy endings, no wind in our sails
But I can't imagine a life without the breathless moments breaking me down, down, down

The heart what wants it wants baby, it wants what it wants baby
It wants what it wants, it wants what it wants

Rebekah was really moved by the song. She had always loved that song and couldn't help but think that maybe she should include it in the set list. She decided that she wanted to spend the night with Holly as she decided.

"Do you have to do that now?" Her lover asked.

"I want to have this done by morning." Rebekah stated.

"Can't we have sex now and you can finish after that?" Holly suggested.

"I only need one more song and I'm torn between two of them." Rebekah explained. "Do you like Lisa Loeb's 'Stay (I Missed You)' or Kelsea Ballerini's 'Love Me Like You Mean It' better?"

"'Stay' which I hope you'll do because I missed you." Holly replied. Rebekah wrote it down and then got into bed with her girlfriend.

The following afternoon, she stood in front of the girls with the completed list in hand.

"Okay, so I have finished the set list." She announced. "We will lead with Nova singing 'The Heart Wants What It Wants', followed by Yoana and Audrie singing 'Masterpiece' by Jessie J and will end with Gabriella and Elle singing 'Stay (I Missed You)' by Lisa Loeb."

"Everyone, I have an announcement to make." Lisa replied. "You may have noticed that I've been gaining weight, and it's not just because I've been eating more. The truth is I have a baby inside of me. I'm pregnant."

"Well…that was news that I wasn't expecting." Rebekah declared. "When did this happen?"

"After Sectionals, I brought of the Dudes back to my room." The redhead stated.

"You know I probably should report this because you're not supposed to have boys in the rooms." The teacher replied. "But since such a thing could result in suspension or possibly expulsion, I'm not going to. I'd recommend that you tell anyone else about that part because they might not be so lenient."

"Thank you." Lisa remarked as she got up and hugged the shorter woman. It definitely looked a bit strange.

"So we should start rehearsing." Rebekah declared.

On Saturday, the girls were in the auditorium as they prepared to perform. They were wearing dresses with black lace bodices and matching long sleeves with red skirts. Livvy decided to go out into the obvious to see if one person was there, while also hoping that one person wasn't.

"Were you looking for me?" Theo asked her.

"Well that and I was hoping that Devan wouldn't be here." She explained.

"Did something happen between the two of you?" He questioned. That was a downside of them not living together anymore.

"We broke up because he kissed another guy." Livvy stated. "But you don't need to worry because I'm fine."

"You probably shouldn't be fine about it." Theo told her.

"I can handle this." She promised him. "Now I need to get with the rest of the girls because the competition is about to start."

The girls took a seat in the audience as Manhattan Regional came onto the stage.

I'm feelin' it
Pop tops popping', flip-flops flopping'
Drop tops dropping' down, Ray-Bans raying
Waves are waving, ladies are playing out
Feelin' it
iPods rocking, sunblock blocking, igloos stocking up (yep)
Cutoffs are cutting, Worry 'bout nothin'
But putting something in my cup (feelin' it)

And I can't, I can't find nothin' wrong with nothin', nothin' that's goin' on
It's making' me wanna sing a song that goes like this

Whoa, oh, whoa aint nothin' like feelin' that summertime feelin'
Kicked back, relaxed, just chilling, I'm feelin', I'm feelin' it
Whoa, oh, whoa Aint nothin' like digging that summertime
Digging in the sand, getting tan with your hand in my hand
I'm feelin' it oh, yeah, I'm feelin' it

Sunset setting, getting good's getting good as it can get
Lip gloss glossing, no more talking, Baby givin' me a kiss (feelin' it

Pop tops popping, iPods rocking
Flip-flops flopping, oh, I'm feelin' it

After them was an a capella group that consisted of five main singers and while the rest sang backup. Rebekah was glad that she hadn't chosen the other song because it was part of their set list.

Oh hey boy with your hat mmm I kinda like that if you wanna walk my way
Imma shoot you straight up, show me what you're made of
I don't have time to waste on the boys that are playing the games
And leaving the girls crying out in the rain

So tell me baby do you got what it takes

If you're gonna hold me, hold me like I'm leaving
If you're gonna kiss me, kiss me like you need it
Baby if you're not your best get to leaving
If you're gonna love me, love me you mean it
If you're gonna talk the talk, you'd better walk it
If you wanna keep me, keep me like you lost it
If you're gonna say it and make me believe it
If you're gonna love me Boy, love me you mean it

Oh hey, I've had my share of losers, liars and users
Looking for a heart to break, so if you're like that Well take a step back
Cause I don't have time to waste on the boys that are playing the games
And leaving the girls crying out in the rain

So tell me are you just crazy or crazy over me

If you're gonna hold me, hold me like I'm leaving
If you're gonna kiss me, kiss me like you need it
Baby if you're not your best get to leaving
If you're gonna love me, love me love me
If you're gonna talk the talk, you'd better walk it
If you wanna keep me, keep me like you lost it
If you're gonna say it and make me believe it
If you're gonna love me Boy, love me you mean it

Love me like you mean it
If you're gonna love me love me love me
Mmm Love me like you mean it

After they were done, The Sirens headed onto stage and started off with Nova's song which was met with a round of applause. Once she was done, Yoana and Audrie took the stage.

So much pressure why so loud
If you don't like my sound you can turn it down
I got a road and I walk it alone

Uphill battle, I look good when I climb
I'm ferocious, precocious, I get braggadocios
I'm not gonna stop, I like the view from the top

You talk that blah-blah that rah-rah wit and I'm so done I'm over it
Sometimes I mess up, I screw up, I hit and miss but I'm okay I'm cool with it

I still fall on my face sometimes and I can't color inside the lines
Cause I'm perfectly incomplete, I'm still working on my masterpiece
And I, I wanna hang with the greats, I got a way to go but it's worth the wait
No you haven't seen the best of me, I'm still working on my masterpiece

I still fall on my face sometimes and I can't color inside the lines
Cause I'm perfectly incomplete, I'm still working on my masterpiece
Masterpiece, masterpiece yeah

Still working on, still workin on
Still working on my masterpiece

"So are you nervous?" Gabriella asked Elle on the side of the stage before they went on.

"No." Elle declared before they started to sing.

You say I only hear what I want to
You say I talk so all the time so
And I thought what I felt was simple
And I thought that I don't belong
And now that I am leaving
Now I know that I did something wrong

Cause I missed you
Yeah, yeah I missed you

And you say I only hear what I want to, I don't listen hard
Don't pay attention to the distance that you're running to anyone anywhere
I don't understand if you really care
I'm only hearing negative no, no, no

So I turned the radio on, I turned the radio up
And this woman was singing my song
Lovers in love and the other runs away
Lover is crying cause the other won't stay
Some of us hover when we weep for the other
Who was dying since the day they were born
This is not the thing that I'm think that I'm throwing
And I thought I'd live forever but now I'm not so sure
You try to tell me that I'm clever but that won't take me anyhow or anywhere with you

Cause I missed you
Yeah, yeah I missed you

And you say stay

And You say I only hear what I want to

An hour later, the judges announced the winner…and it was Manhattan Regional. The Sirens were crestfallen and walked away. Rebekah was the last one in the choir room. She couldn't believe that she had let them down.

"Miss Mays." A man remarked. She looked to see an African-American with his hear in an afro. "You group was great and I thought that they deserve to win."

"Thanks." Rebekah replied. She still was a bit confused. "Who are you?"

"My name is Peter Sanchez and I represent the upstate New York Regional Competition. We were wondering if you and your girls might be interested in coming to Albany in three weeks for our Regionals. If you won, you'd get another shot at Nationals."

"Absolutely." Rebekah declared as she shook his hand.

So they lost, but they get another chance. Lisa told them about her pregnancy. The other group is played by Pentatonix and Peter is played by Eka Darville. Please don't forget to review.
