Just Another Song Chapter 16, a glee fanfic

"Okay, so what happened yesterday was a bit surprising." Rebekah declared. "But just because we lost doesn't mean that we're finished. As you know, we've been invited to Regionals in Albany"

"What's the point?" Renee asked. "It's not like we can win."

"Now that is the kind of attitude that I want to change." Rebekah replied. "We need a morale boost and so this week we will be singing number ones: songs that topped the Billboard Hot 100. We also need to deal with the criticism of everyone who has called us losers, whores, or anything else to get under our skin. Now if you feel the need to laugh at my atrocious dancing, go right ahead."

I stay out too late, got nothing in my brain
That's what people say mm-hmm, that's what people say mm-hmm
I go on too many dates, but I can't make em stay
At least that's what people say mm-hmm, that's what people say mm-hmm

But I keep cruising, can't stop won't stop moving
It's like I got this music in my mind, saying it's alright

Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
Shake it off, I shake it off
Heartbreakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
Baby I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off

I never miss a beat, I'm lightning on my feet
And that's what they don't see mm-hmm, that's what they don't see mm-hmm
I'm dancing on my own, (dancing on my own) I make the moves up as I go (moves up as I go)
And that's what they don't know mm-hmm, that's what they don't know mm-hmm

But I keep cruising, can't stop won't stop moving
It's like I got this music in my mind, saying it's alright

Shake it off, I shake it off
I, I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off

Cady had to admit that seeing Rebekah make a fool out of herself put her in a good mood. In fact, it made her want to ask Renee out on a spontaneous date.

"Do you wanna go get some ice cream?" She asked her girlfriend.

"That actually sounds like fun." Renee admitted before the two of them headed down to McDonald's and ordered some shakes: chocolate for Cady, and strawberry for Renee.

"So do you really think that we don't stand a chance in Albany?" Cady questioned.

"Well we couldn't even beat the best in the city." Renee pointed out. "How can we beat the best in the state?"

"I'm pretty sure that the city is more important than the state." Cady declared as she took a sip from her drink.

"Well I still don't have a lot of confidence in us." The brunette admitted.

"I think that you could something to lift your spirits a little." Cady declared. She got up in the middle of the restaurant and began to sing.

Come take my hand, you should know me
I've always been in your mind, you know I will be kind
I'll be guiding you
Living your dream has to start now
There's no other road to take, you won't make a mistake
I'll be guiding you

We have to believe we are magic nothing can stand in our way
We have to believe we are magic don't your aim ever stray
And if our hearts align, the destiny you will ride
I'll bring all your dreams alive for you, I'll bring dreams alive for you

Everywhere I stand, you are home free
The planets align it's so rare, there's promise in the air
And I'm guiding you
Through every turn I'll be near you
I'll come any time you call, I'll catch you when you fall
I'll be guiding you

"You know you are so bloody adorable when you do that." Renee told her. Cady just smiled and kissed her.

The next day, Lisa decided that it was finally time for her to tell Pablo about the baby, so she took a cab to Father Gregory's. Since it was a boarding school as well, she knew that he'd be there. After a little bit of searching, she managed to find his room.

"You know I'm surprised to see you again." He said.

"I didn't come here for more sex." She told him. "In fact, there was a complication from when we had sex before."

"Do you have an STD?" He asked.

"No." She answered. "I'm pregnant."

"Oh, that's good." He remarked. He then took a moment to take in what she just said. "No wait, that's bad."

"Yes, it is." She confirmed. "But I am going to have the baby. It won't summer, but I thought that you should know about it."

"Well, what should we do?" Pablo asked.

"We could try to date if you want or we could not." Lisa declared. "I just thought that you should know about this."

"This is kind of a problem because I actually have a girlfriend." He stated.

"Oh…that is unfortunate." Lisa agreed. "Well I'll let you think of it and here's my number."

She then walked out the door and began to sing on the way out. She wasn't even sure what she meant by what she was singing.

Oh baby, baby
Oh baby, baby

Oh baby, baby how was I supposed to know that something wasn't right here
Oh baby, baby I shouldn't have let you go and now you're out of sight yeah
Show me baby how you want it to be
Tell me baby cause I need to know now oh because

My loneliness is killing me and I
Must confess I still believe, still believe
When I'm not with you I lose my mind give me a sign
Hit me baby one more time

Oh baby, baby
Oh baby, baby

Oh baby, baby, how was I supposed to know
Oh pretty baby, I shouldn't have let you go

I must confess that my loneliness is killing me now
Don't you know that I still believe that you will be here
And give me a sign
Hit me baby one more time

My loneliness is killing me and I
Must confess I still believe, still believe
When I'm not with you I lose my mind give me a sign
Hit me baby one more time

I must confess that my loneliness is killing me now
I must confess don't you know I still believe that you will be here
And give me a sign
Hit me baby one more time

On Wednesday night, Elle knocked on Gabriella's door. The English girl had been lounging in her underwear and went to answer the door, wondering if Alessandra had locked herself out again. She opened it to find that instead it was her girlfriend.

"What are you doing?" Elle asked.

"I was just lazing around." Gabriella stated. "Did you want to do something together?"

"Yes, but first you'll need to put some clothes on." The brunette pointed out.

Gabriella pulled out a dress and put it on, revealing it to be black minidress with transparent sleeves with black dots on them, almost like stockings.

"Okay, so where are we going?" She asked.

"We're going to see the Statue of Liberty." Elle remarked. Gabriella tilted her head. "Have you ever seen it before?"

"No…" Gabriella replied.

"Then you need to take the opportunity to do so." Elle stated. "It's a great piece of American culture. It's the most famous monument in America, even though it wasn't made by an American."

The two of them headed to the city and then took a ferry to Liberty Island

"There she is, the beautiful Lady Liberty." Elle remarked before she began to sing. Gabriella was in awe of her the same way.

Something in the way she moves attracts me like no other lover
Something in the way she woos me
I don't wanna leaver her now
I know I believe in how

Somewhere in her smile she knows that I don't need no other lover
Something in her style that shows me
I don't wanna leaver her now
I know I believe in how

You're asking me will my love grow
I don't know I don't know
You stick around it may show
But I don't know I don't know

Something in the way she knows and all I have to do is think of her
Something in the things she shows me
I don't wanna leaver her now
I know I believe in how

"So you love me the same way, don't you?" Gabriella asked.

"Of course I do." Elle replied.

The two of them got dinner at the food court before they went inside the statue and went to the top where they could see the Hudson River. The two of them smiled as look down and took some pictures. They were both in a good mood when they got back to school.

"I had a great time." Gabriella told her as stopped at her dorm.

"I knew that you would." Elle declared as she gave her a kiss on the lips.

"You know if it weren't for Alessandra, I would let you come in." Gabriella declared before she retreated into her room.

Once she got back to her room, Elle noticed that her phone was ringing and it was her stepmother.

"Hello?" She answered.

"I have great news for you." Lily declared. "Your father left something for us in his will. I didn't even know about it. It's a collection of rare films. One estimator thinks that they are worth millions."

"That's great news." Elle declared. "Anyway, I was about to go to bed. Can we talk more about this later?"

On Saturday, Rebekah was preparing the girls for their second Regionals with another group number sung Cady and Renee.

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you're sleeping
While you're far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure

Don't wanna close my eyes, I don't wanna fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you baby and I don't wanna miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you, the sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you babe and I don't wanna miss a thing

And I don't wanna miss one smile, and I don't wanna miss one kiss
I just wanna be with you right here with you just like this
I just wanna hold you close, I feel your heart so close to smile
And you'll stay here in this moment for all the rest of time yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I don't wanna close my eyes, I don't wanna fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you baby and I don't wanna miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you, the sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you babe and I don't wanna miss a thing

Elsewhere on campus, a new transfer had just arrived.

So there's a bit of a cliffhanger at the end of the chapter. The girls are getting back into things. The songs are "Shake It Off" by Taylor Swift, "Magic" by Olivia Newton John, "Baby One More Time" by Britney Spears, "Something" by The Beatles, and "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" by Aerosmith. Please don't forget to review.
