"None of you were there for me, except Marley! You let those girls laugh at me and everything Kitty!" Kitty had seemed surprised that she was the first to be brought up, "What?! Me, I didn't do anything-" Unique nodded, clearly upset by the way she had her arms crossed, and swallowing hard like she was trying not to cry, "That's right, you all didn't do anything, you just stood by and did nothing!" Jake nodded, pointing his eyes towards Kitty, "Yeah, that's right, you just ignored all of us. Unique was your friend, you should have helped her." Unique glared at him, "What me too? I stood up for you." Jake said in defense, "Remember, in the halls when Brad Dickhead slammed you into the lockers, I defended you."

"Yeah, but then you parted ways, without a care in the world for me, you too Kitty. I'm sorry Mr. Shue, I don't think I can come back." Unique stated, getting up and grabbing her back pack to walk out. Ryder stopped her, "Whoa, whoa, stop. This is crazy, you can't just quit. Yeah, we should have been there for you more, but seriously, it takes two. You hadn't come up to talk to any of us either." Ryder heatedly replied, "Marley was the one who started talking to you first, she tried. Let's all be honest, none of us tried." Unique paused and shook her head, sighing as she sat back down, wiping away the tear from her eye, "Sorry, I know. . .I thought. . .I thought since we didn't have Glee club anymore, none of you would want to be around me. . ."

"You've got to stop thinking that way of yourself." Mr. Shue said, coming up to Unique, and placing a hand on her arm, squatted down next to her, her level, beside her chair, "We love having you with us, okay. You are important to everyone, not just inside, but outside this room as well."

"You are special to all of us." Marley voiced, coming to her, and holding her hand, hugging her, "Unique, the only reason you don't feel important to anyone is because of how you feel towards yourself a lot of times. I've always felt insecure about myself, but I realized the only one who can truly love me and make me feel loved is myself."Marley stopped and looked around the room at everyone, smiling, "Though it does help when you have your friends."

Kitty couldn't stand it, and stood up, to go over to them, "It's true, we all care about you. I wanted to freakin' punch those girls in the throat for what they said!" Mr. Shue gave Kitty a look like all good, and stern teachers.

"What, it's true, those girls can be real bitches."

Unique chuckled, wiping her eyes some more and hugging them, "Thank you. I can't say I wouldn't love to see that!"

The two boys came over and smiled, patting each other on the back, "Wow, girls are so dramatic." Ryder whispered to Jake, he nodded, "Tell me about it." than went over and gave Unique a quick hug. Everything was almost back to normal. "You know what, I just realized something, we need to make sure to get more members for Glee Club." Shue said, "Anyone want to make the posters?"

"Ooh! Unique will gladly do that for you!" Unique said, standing, "All I need is glitter and a computer!" Mr. Shue smirked, "But of course you may, now I was wondering if anyone had a song they'd like to sing?"

"What about giving us our assignment?" Jake asked, looking over to everyone else and back at Mr. Shue, "Are you saying we can sing whatever we want."

Mr. Shue chuckled and nodded, "Yes Jake, I am."

They all whooped and hollered, "Yay, why not." Marley was the first to start. "I am dedicating this too all of us,"

She sang Strong, by One Direction.

Though the song wasn't directed at anyone, she didn't glance once at Jake. He felt sort of rejected when the song ended. He stood, "I think I'd like to sing next, Mr. Shue." Jake said, stepping down quickly.

Mr. Shue was surprised by his sudden outburst. "Uh, yeah, sure. Stage is all yours, Jake." Mr. Shue said, sitting back down with a pleased smile.

Jake went to the piano and told the guy what to play, he looked at her, "This is for Marley.", than looked away, feeling nervous. But took a deep breathe and started singing, A Twist In My Story by Secondhand Serenade. Still singing he remembered just yesterday when they talked. She barely looked at him than either, and yet kept talking to him. It was driving him nuts, couldn't she see that.

Once done he sat next to Ryder, who looked at him like, 'Really, Jake, really?' Jake smirked, and punched him in the arm, "Shut up with that look already, won't you, and yes, really!"

Jake didn't care anymore, he was finally able to release his feelings through song, with her seeing that he meant it for her. He just wanted to get over her already. But he knew never confronting his feelings wouldn't help.

Unique clapped, wishing she would have someone to sing like that to her someday, Kitty clapped along as well, feeling the same.

Ryder just shook his head with a smirk, and scratched his forehead, "Something is seriously wrong with you, dude."

Jake nodded, pulling his hands behind his head and his feet up on one of the empty chairs, "Yeah, well, sorry that I'm not sorry." he said casually.

Ryder rolled his eyes, "Yeah, okay idiot." but actually, in all honesty he was jealous that Jake was inspired to sing something. Ryder was seriously not feeling anything today. He was happy everything was going good, but he liked singing love songs the most, as feminine as that may sound, it was fun to him. But he wasn't one to like someone in a snap, besides the time with Marley. To bad after figuring out he was just a rebound, that he realized he had used her in a way as well. "But I'm an idiot as well, fault of you being my friend." He joked, shaking his head.

And how was Marley, well she sat between Unique and Kitty, feeling completely uncomfortable, wanting to kill Jake for singing to her. But she wouldn't. She knew better than to start a fight, because secretly she had enjoyed it, even though it embarrassed her. And she had a feeling if she started something, she would blurt out her feelings. She and Jake had spent time together recently, trying to regain any sort of friendship they had. And they had, but their feelings started to change as they'd gotten to start over again as friends. But in Marley's defense she had stayed friends with everyone in Glee, so she hadn't just been friends with Jake. She tried talking to everyone as much as she could. And now, by a miracle named Rachel Berry, they were back together as a group. Marley had been really needing everything to go, semi, back to normal ever since her mother's heart attack happened last week. She had been so worried those few days, and had really just needed them all to be together, and now here they were, singing, laughing and even feeling awkward, just like old times.

The truth was, the day of her moms heart attack, Jake had been with her. They were at her house studying, when they heard Marley's mom coming in, trying to breathe, "My-My arm, it's gone numb, and my-my chest hurts! C-call 911!" her mom had cried, starting to fall to the floor, Jake caught onto her before she could, "Marley, don't call 911!" Jake told her firmly. Before Marley could respond, Jake was helping her mom outside, "Let's get going, hurry! We can't wait for an ambulance!" he yelled urgently as he put her mom in the passenger seat, worryingly putting on her seat belt. Shutting the door, he hurried to the other side helping Marley into the middle seat, she wrapped her arms around her mom to steady her. They sped off towards the hospital. Her mom had had trouble breathing for the last month, or so. Once in, a nurse saw them and rushed over, calling one of the doctors down to help. They took her into a room to help her, telling Jake and Marley to wait out in the waiting rooms. Once done they called Marley and Jake back in, they figured her mom might have fluid sitting on her lungs, so they got her, her medicine, and told her she had to stay in the hospital up to a machine to get rid of the fluid in her lungs. The next day the figured out she had eleven pounds of fluid on one side of her left lung, and five pounds of fluid on the right side. The doctors were surprised she had even made it, it was truly a miracle, Marley felt relieved and emotionally drained. She had to step out, crying to herself. She hadn't wanted to cry in front of her mom, and she wasn't about to do it now. Jake came out to see her hunched over and sobbing. He sat down next to her, placing a hand on her back, and feeling like crying himself, "Marley, I'm so sorry. This . . .I don't know what to say. . . She's okay now, she'll be okay now!" he said rubbing her back comfortingly. Suddenly she flung her arms around him, crying, "I know, I-I'm just so relieved! She's the only mom I've got, the only parent. . ."

Jake nodded in understanding. He only had his mom too, "I know. I know." he soothed, kissing her forehead, closing his eyes, and holding her till she stopped shaking, "It'll be okay, everything is going to be fine! I'll make sure of it!" he said in a determined tone that muttered itself on her hairline that his cheek was gently touching, "I'm-I'm here."

Marley paused, and sniffled, sitting up, batting the tears away with her fingers, she was staring at him, and he stared back, "Thank you, Jake." she whispered, still gazing into his eyes, she meant it too. "You're welcome." he mumbled, "Thank you." than he held her some more till she finally stopped bawling her eyes out, and they went back into her moms room to check up on her.

Marley almost had tears in her eyes now just by thinking about it, as she sat back a little and held a part of her skirt that she rubbed her fingers across nervously. She wasn't wanting a relationship now, actually, all she wanted was a friend, and he'd been that. But she knew she had to tell him that was, at this time, all she wanted. 'How in the world am I suppose to tell him that. . .I might never want to be with anyone again. Relationships are things you take serious adn are a lot of drama involved. I don't think he ever will be serious about anyone, and I'm not waiting for anyone special.' she text Unique and Kitty and Tina. Kitty was the first to respond, 'Whatever, I say just tell him no, simple as that. Make it perfectly clear, 'FRIENDSHIP and NOTHING ELSE!'- Kitty

Marley looked at Kitty, and mouth, "Really?"

Kitty made her Mmm hmm face, and Unique seemed to agree, because she quickly replied, 'Girl, you know I love Jake to death and everything, he stood up for me a lot, even to Ryder, but seriously the boy ain't nothin' but drama central!'-TheHiddenUnique

Next Tina responded, 'But didn't you say that he was there for you when your mom went to the hospital, I mean that just so sweet. I think the boy is just addicted to sex, and you've got to get over that, he's a boy for goodness sake, just give him another chance, and if you can't do that, than I say break it off, and be kinda friendly aquatints.' -Tina-A-Chang

Marley rolled her eyes, 'Tina, I am still going to be Jake's friend if nothing else. He is a good guy, just not when he has a girlfriend. That's my decision, I'm going to say we should just be friends, he'll understand.' -Marley

One text bubble popped up, 'Marley, you text the wrong person.

P.s. I do understand. -Jake

Marley's eyes widened, "Oh!" she looked over at Jake, he seemed hurt, but hid it well with a casual smile and crossing his arms in a, I'm Mr. Cool tough guy, no one can touch me look. She felt her heart speed up with panic at the thought that he'd seen it. She didn't mean that he was a bad boyfriend material, . . .but it wasn't a complete lie either. So she just sat there, not knowing what to do or say. Feeling ashamed and embarrassed all over again. Then the bell rang.

Carol is an awesome one to choose. She is an awesome, and strong character!
