Chapter 7
McKinley Auditions part 2
I would like to point out that I'm sorry for such the late chapter, and that it took forever to get an idea in my head. This chapter WILL lead into two parts, so I apologize for ONLY having one audition in this chapter. One being in memory of Cory, who recently passed, which is just a shame.
So let me express a quick moment of faith, though I am NOT high religious.
Cory Monteith, I believe that there is a Actor's Heaven, just for the extremely talented. I think this because, I also believe that one of my idols (and favorite actors) Corey Ian Haim is there as well. Being as you were both from Canada, I'm sure you two never crossed paths, but I'm sure you will now. You were both talented, and had your troubles with the same situation, and he as well had received help, however this isn't about him. You entered Actor's Heaven July 13, and you will be missed by many.

If I was going to have to sit two and a half more hours with these weird teenagers that wanted to play High School Musical Four, than so be it, but I was going to use my cell phone to search the web for a song. Basically I was being held against my will to be here anyways, and it was my brother, so what could I say?
In the middle of the search I received a text from Jordan. Sure, it was Jordan, but still I was curious enough to know what it said, so I pressed 'View'.
You and I need to talk after auditions, and
Yes, I know you're there so don't deny it.
For the record, it's about Gwen.
Suddenly I had the song, and waited until it was time. I watched and observed as some more of Corey's friends showed up, and sat down with him. I recognized one of the girls, because I had class with her. Kris something.
Then we heard Connor come over the loudspeakers, in which, in his case was the radio.
"Students of McKinley High, it is in my deepest sympathy to report that River Monteith, has taken his life. He was a relative of Alum Finn Hudson. Principal Figgins will be holding a required student memorial, on Friday at 10:30 AM. Any close friends of River is required to report to either McKinley Radio, or Mr. Figgins immediately, so you will be able to say something. Again, this will be a required memorial," Connor announces, so I was sure that everyone would know shortly, if they hadn't known before that was even over.
Suddenly what Jordan wanted to talk about meant nothing. River, had tried out for the football team, but was cut because of an injury to his knee.
"Mike, I have to go talk to Principal Figgins, but you needed a song first, so I'm going to audition," I tell my older brother, as I head up to the stage, and grab the acoustic guitar, and strum the notes to my audition song.
"For those of you that don't know, I'm Bradley Weston, and I'll be auditioning with The Man Who Can't Be Moved by The Script," I introduce for my brother, and the rest of the members to hear.
Before they can say anything else, I begin to play.
Going back to the corner where I first saw you
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag I'm not gonna move
Got some words on cardboard, got your picture in my hand
Saying, "If you see this girl can you tell her where I am?"
Some try to hand me money, they don't understand
I'm not broke – I'm just a broken-hearted man
I know it makes no sense but what else can I do?
How can I move on when I'm still in love with you?
'Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet
And you'll see me waiting for you on the corner of the street
So I'm not moving, I'm not moving
Policeman says, "Son, you can't stay here."
I said, "There's someone I'm waiting for if it's a day, a month, a year.
Gotta stand my ground even if it rains or snows.
If she changes her mind this is the first place she will go."
So I'm not moving, I'm not moving,
I'm not moving, I'm not moving
People talk about the guy that's waiting on a girl
There are no holes in his shoes but a big hole in his world
And maybe I'll get famous as the man who can't be moved
Maybe you won't mean to but you'll see me on the news
And you'll come running to the corner
'Cause you'll know it's just for you
I'm the man who can't be moved
I'm the man who can't be moved
[Chorus 2x]
Going back to the corner where I first saw you
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag, I'm not gonna move
"Thank you. I have to head to Mr. Figgins office to let him know I would like to talk about River at the Memorial. Now if you'd excuse me," I announce, and head towards my school bag, to collect it, and head to Figgins' office.

Ok, so we are all on the same page, I will pick up the auditions in the next chapter. I wanted to place sort of a memorial one shot for Corey. So with that being said, the Memorial Chapter will be the glee clubs first assignment, and YES, Finn WILL be in this chapter. I wanted to post this chapter before I headed to work. More views / feelings will be expressed later, some later in the second auditions. RIP IN CORY - YOU WILL BE GREATLY MISSED!
