Just Another Song Chapter 18, a glee fanfic

"On Friday night, we were will be heading to Albany." Rebekah stated. "Your roommates will be the same people that you're currently rooming with meaning that Nova and Odette will be rooming together. Ms. Golightly and I will be your chaperones. When we get to the hotel, I want you all to be on your best behavior."

"Have you decided on what songs we'll be singing?" Bella asked.

"Yes." Rebekah answered. "We're going to start with Odette singing 'Bright' by Echosmith, followed by Audrie singing 'I Really Like You' by Carly Rae Jepsen, and finally Renee and Cady will be singing 'One Last Time' by Ariana Grande. This is our last chance at Nationals. If we don't win this, we'll be done for the year."

"So what you're saying is there's no pressure." Nova quipped.

"This is serious." Rebekah chided her. "Now this meeting is adjourned. All of you may leave."

She then headed to her room. She found that she had a guest waiting for her outside of her door.

"What are you doing here?" She asked Holly.

"Do I need an excuse to see my girlfriend?" Holly replied as Rebekah opened the door and the two went inside. "So do you know if your dad is going to make the trip to Albany?"

"As far as I know, he couldn't get off work." Rebekah stated. "Honestly, it's just nice just to be talking to him again. So, I'm kind of nervous for the girls because they've worked hard this."

"You've worked hard for this too." Holly pointed out. "You're one hell of a teacher and don't let anyone tell you otherwise."

"Well I'm just glad that you're supportive of me and you'll be making the trip with us. It means a lot that you're going to be there." Rebekah replied.

"Well I need to be there because I'm your good luck charm." Holly joked before giving Rebekah a kiss.

The following day, girls were getting on the bus. They were leaving around 6:00 and would be getting some dinner on the way.

"Do you mind if I sit here?" Livvy asked Odette.

"It's a free country." Odette replied as she moved over.

"So how do you like it here?" Livvy inquired.

"Well, it hasn't been that much different than, other than living with someone, which I've never done before." Odette remarked. "I'm surprised that this is all happening so fast."

"Well we've been preparing for this since the last few weeks." Livvy explained. "We actually lost the regional in town to my ex-boyfriend's school, but the person in charge of this event invited us to perform."

"I'd hate to be up against my ex." Odette commented.

"Well he was never actually in the group, but he cheated on me with a guy." Livvy told her.

"My ex also cheated on me with a guy." Odette declared. "But she told me that she was a lesbian."

As the bus, drove the girls began to sing a song together for practice.

Jimmy's in the back with a pocket of high
If you listen close, you can hear him cry
Oh lord heaven knows, we belong way down below sing it
Oh lord heaven knows we belong way down below way down below way down below

Judy's in the front seat picking up trash
Leaving on the dough gotta make that cash
Won't be pretty, won't be sweet
She's just sitting there on her feet

Singing Oh lord heaven knows, we belong way down below go
Oh lord heaven knows we belong way down below way down below way down below
Sing oh lord tell us so, we belong way down below
Oh lord tell us so we belong way down below way down below way down below

I've had better days man, I've seen better days
I've had better ways man, I know better ways

Gina's in the back with a pocket of high
If you listen close you can hear the crying

Oh lord heaven knows, we belong way down below sing it
Oh lord heaven knows we belong way down below way down below way down below
Oh lord tell us so, we belong way down below
Oh lord tell us so we belong way down below way down below way down below

Way down below, way down below, way down below, way down below, way down below

Once they got to the hotel, many of the girls headed to their rooms, but Yoana and Bella stayed in the lobby and looked around. They were staying at the Desmond Albany Hotel, which was known as the best in the city. They then headed to the hot tub where they sat in their bikinis.

"I haven't been in one of these since I was at home during winter break." Bella stated. "You should come over to my house sometime. I think you would like it there."

"I still don't know if your parents like me enough for that." Yoana responded.

"There were actually really impressed by you." Bella told her. "They told me that although they were hesitant about meeting you, they really liked you. Just don't tell them that I said that."

On Saturday, the girls all headed down to the arena. They were all wearing either blue or black dresses. They were going to be performing last. The first group up would be the Rochester Academy Sky Dancers. They were led by a very short girl with blonde hair.

With your wine-stained lips, yeah you're nothing but trouble
Cold to the touch but you're warm as the devil
I gave all my heart but you won't heal my soul
You tasted a break and I can't get more

You got me in chains, you got me in chains for your love
But I wouldn't change, no I wouldn't change this love
You got me in chains, you got me in chains for your love
But I wouldn't change, no I wouldn't change this love

I'm trying to break the chains but the chains only break me
I'm trying to break the chains but the chains only break me

Baby tell me why, why you do, do me wrong
Baby tell me why, why you do, do me wrong
Gave you my heart but you took my soul

I'm trying to break the chains but the chains only break me
I'm trying to break the chains but the chains only break me

After the second group from Albany had performed, the girls took the stage. Odette got ready for her big debut. She was wearing a blue dress.

I think the universe is on my side
Heaven and Earth have finally aligned
Days are good and that's the way it should be

You sprinkle stardust on my pillowcase
It's like a moonbeam brushed across my face
Nights are good and that's the way it should be

You make me sing ooh la-la-la
You make a girl go ooh I'm in love, love

Did you see that shooting star tonight
Were you dazzled by the same constellation
Did you and Jupiter conspire to get me
I think you and the moon and Neptune got it right
Cause now I'm shining bright, so bright
Bright, so bright and I get lost in your eyes

And I see colors in a different way
You make what doesn't matter fade to grey
Life is good and that's the way it should be

You make me sing ooh la-la-la
You make a girl go ooh I'm in love, love

Did you see that shooting star tonight
Were you dazzled by the same constellation
Did you and Jupiter conspire to get me
I think you and the moon and Neptune got it right
I think you and the moon and Neptune got it right
I think you and the moon and Neptune got it right

Cause now I'm shining bright, so bright
Bright, so bright, bright, so bright and I get lost in your eyes tonight

Audrie then took the stage. She was wearing a black dress.

I really wanna stop but I just got the taste for it
I feel like I could fly like a boat on the move
So honey hold my hand, you like making me wait for it
I feel like I could die walking up to the room

Late night watching television, but how'd we get in this position
It's way too soon, I know this isn't love but I need to tell you something

I really, really, really, really , really, really like you
And I want you, do you want you me, do you want me too
I really, really, really, really , really, really like you
And I want you, do you want you me, do you want me too
Oh did I say too much, I'm so in my head when we're out of touch
I really, really, really, really , really, really like you
And I want you, do you want you me, do you want me too

Who gave you eyes like that? said you could keep them
I don't know how to act the way I should be leaving
I'm running out of time going out of my mind
I need to tell you something yeah, I need to tell you something

For the closing number, Renee and Cady headed out together. Cady wore a black dress while Renee had on a blue one.

I was a liar, I gave into the fire
I know I should've fought it but at least I'm being honest
Feel like a failure cause I know that failed you
I should've done you better cause you don't want a liar

And I know and I know and I know that boy she gives you everything
But boy I could give it to you
And I know and I know and I know that that you got everything
But I got nothing here without you

So one last time, I need to be the one who takes you home
One more time, I promise after that I'll let you go
Baby I don't care if you got her in your heart, all I really care is you wake up in my arms
One last time, I need to be the one who takes you home

I know I should've fought it, at least I'm being honest
But stay with me a minute, I swear I'll make it worth it
Cause I don't wanna be without you

So one last time, I need to be the one who takes you home
One more time, I promise after that I'll let you go
Baby I don't care if you got her in your heart, all I really care is you wake up in my arms
One last time, I need to be the one who takes you home
One last time I need to be the one who takes you home

After a few minutes of deliberation, the judges came out and the girls awaited their fate.

"We've decided after much deliberation that the winner of this year's competition will the Sirens." He said. The girls threw their arms up because they were going to Nationals.

So the Sirens left Albany as champions and are headed to Nationals. The songs are "Heaven Knows" by The Pretty Reckless and "Chains" by Nick Jonas. Please don't forget to review.
