Rumor has It/Someone Like You Chapter 7

Sectionals

QPOV

"Are you sad?" I asked as we made our way into the auditorium. Finding out Rachel was suspended and the reason why it happened floored us all especially since Finn deserved all he got and more; but that'll come later. Rachel was suspended the remainder of the week and wasn't allowed to partake in sectionals which put us all from New Directions in a funk.

"Devastated." She replied as I took her hand.

"Come on." I pulled her to sit with Tina and I. Finn looked over at us scowling and I was about to walk up to him to kick his ass again when Rachel pulled me into the seat next to hers.

"No Quinn, you promised." I sighed. Everysince she was suspended and Finn got off without any punishment. She made Santana and I promise not to do anything to Finn that would get either of us suspended from Sectionals.

"Fine, but after sectionals, it's all fair game." I replied as the judges were being introduced.

"No Quinn just leave it alone please? For me?"

I sighed as The Unitards made their way onto the stage.

The beat played and I saw the crowd started to sway as Rachel gasped in realization of what they were singing.

[Harmony]

What's new Buenos Aires?
I'm new, I wanna say I'm just a little stuck on you
You'll be on me too

Kurt sat behind us leaning in to Rachel "Oh my God it's the Gerber baby. Oh my God she's good."

Rachel got a look of anger on her face. "This is torture; I should be singing that song."

I get out here, Buenos Aires
Stand back, you oughta know whatcha gonna get in me
Just a little touch of star quality

Rachel tensed squeezing my hand tighter.

Fill me up with your heat, with your noise
With your dirt, overdo me
Let me dance to your beat, make it loud
Let it hurt, run it through me.
All I want is a whole lot of excess
Tell the singer this is where I'm playing

Judging by Rachel's expressions and movements I knew she saw this group as competition.

And if ever I go too far
It's because of the things you are
Beautiful town, I love you

You're a tramp, you're a treat
You will shine to the death, you are shoddy
But you're flesh, you are meat
You shall have every breath in my body
Put me down for a lifetime of success
Give me credit, I'll find ways of paying

I looked back and forth at Rachel and Kurt who were mouthing the words to the song as the girl they said was named Harmony sang.

Stand back, Buenos Aires
Because you oughta know whatcha gonna get in me
Just a little touch of
Just a little touch of
Just a little touch of star quality

It was going to be incredibly hard winning this without her and then realization of the fact that Tina and I are the only female voices in this group now. As the crowds stood and clapped I got a strange feeling within me and decided to get out of there; in need of air. I shot up and walked quickly out of the auditorium and down the halls.

"Where are you going?"

Rachel asked from behind me.

I turned to face her.

"Rach, just go back into the auditorium."

"No Quinn, tell me what's wrong."

"I can't do this. It's always easy to say we will win when we have you on our team but you aren't here and I don't know if I can do this."

Rachel walked up to me cupping my cheek.

"Quinn, not only can you do this but you will be amazing. You are going to win this for us, all of you I don't give you all enough credit but I believe in you."

A tear slid down my face as she caressed it.

"I can't, I never do anything right Rach. I lost Beth and sure Shelby lets me babysit and stuff but I can never get her back and I know I did the right thing but I always think what if. I messed things up with you and Finn, with me and Sam. I wreck things Rach and I don't want to mess this up, I don't want to fail at this one thing."

I was about to continue when Rachel slapped me across the face.

"Ow Rach what the hell?" I said holding my face.

"You're an idiot Quinn, you keep saying you messed up at things but we're teenagers, that's what we're supposed to do. You learn from your mistakes and you make up for them. You and I will go back inside now because your bestfriends are about to perform and I will not allow you to miss their debut performance."

She wiped the tears from my eyes.

"Oh and one more thing Quinn. You didn't fail at everything because you got me to realize I have feelings for you and while I may not be ready to pursue a relationship as yet I do however have to admit that I like you Quinn Fabray a lot." As she finished her statement she held on to the back of my neck and pulled me in for a kiss. The kiss was everything I ever imagined it would be and more. Her lips tasted like the vanilla Chap Stick she stole from my purse couple days ago and we both fought for dominance. Pulling back she smiled brightly looking into my eyes.

"Come on we have to go see the girls perform."

We linked hands and she led us back into the auditorium as the lights went off.

I leaned into Rachel to whisper. "By the way Rach, I know it's a short space of time but you are one of my bestfriends too."

She squeezed my hand as the opening music to The TroubleTones' performance started and I sneaked backstage with the rest of New Directions.

[Santana]

At first I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side
Then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
And I learned how to get along

I screamed loudly as Mercedes started singing.

[Mercedes]

And so you're back from outer space
I just walked in to find you here, with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second, you'd be back to bother me

[Santana]

Go on now, go walk out the door
Just turn around now
Cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?

[TroubleTones *Sugar sings all the Whats*]

I'm a survivor (What?)
I'm not gon give up (What?)
I'm not gon stop (What?)
I'm gon work harder (What?)
I'm a survivor (What?)
I'm gonna make it (What?)
I will survive (What?)
Keep on survivin' (What?)

I clapped along dancing as my girls performed they were magnificent.

[Mercedes]

Thought I couldn't breathe without
I'm inhaling
You thought I couldn't see without you
Perfect vision
You thought I couldn't last without you
But I'm lastin'
You thought that I would die without you
But I'm livin'

[Santana]

Thought that I would fail without you
But I'm on top
Thought it would be over by now
But it won't stop
Thought that I would self destruct
But I'm still here
Even in my years to come
I'm still gon be here

Tina and I bumped butts as we danced around to their performance and I glanced out to Rachel who was standing and dancing along.

[TroubleTones]

I'm a survivor (What?)
I'm not gon give up (What?)
I'm not gon stop (What?)
I'm gon work harder (What?)
I'm a survivor (What?)
I'm gonna make it (What?)
I will survive (What?)
Keep on survivin' (What?)

Sam's eyes were stuck like glue onto Mercedes as she performed and I smiled hoping things would work out with them both.

[Mercedes]

I'll survive
I will survive
For as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
And I've got all my love to give
I'll survive
I will survive
Hey hey

[TroubleTones]

I'm a survivor (What?)
I'm not gon give up (What?)
I'm not gon stop (What?)
I'm gon work harder (What?)
I'm a survivor (What?)
I'm gonna make it (What?)
I will survive (What?)
Keep on survivin' (What?)

I will survive

As they all lay on the floor I clapped and screamed for them knowing they were great which meant we have to bring our A game. Nerves shot through me then I remembered what Rachel said and smiled as the lights went off and we made our way onto the stage.

I stood between Mike and Rory taking their hands and squeezing them reassuringly while the announcer introduced us.

[Tina:]A buh-buh buh buh-buh

[Tina with New Directions:]

The lights turned off except for the spotlight that landed on me. I husked my voice and started speaking. My eyes glanced on Rachel and she did me thumbs up. It took all of my strength not to smile at her beaming persona.

[Quinn]

This is a story about control
My control
Control of what I say
Control of what I do
And this time I'm gonna do it my way

[Blaine]
When I was 17 I did what people told me, uhh
Did what my father said, and let my mother mold me
But that was long ago

[Blaine and Artie with the New Directions]

I'm in
Control
Now I've got a lot
Control
To get what I want
Control
Never gonna stop
Control
Now I'm all grown up

Jam, woooh woooh
Rebel, that's right

[Blaine]

Got my own mind
I wanna make my own decisions
When it has to do with my life, my life
I wanna be the one in control [Artie]

[Artie]
So let me take you by the hand, and lead you on this dance
It's what I got, because I took a chance [Blaine]
I don't wanna rule the world, just wanna run my life, Ooh

[Blaine]
So make your life a little easier
When you get the chance just take

[Blaine and Artie with the New Directions]
Just take control
Control, ooh ooh
Now I've got a lot, ooh
Control
Now I'm all grown up, ow!

Free, at last
Ooh ooh ooh yeah, eee
Now control this, uhh

Cause I've got my own mind
Gonna make my own decisions
When it has to do with my life
I wanna be the one in control

I'm in control
Uhh
I'm in control
Ahh
I'm in control
Uhh
I'm in control
Ahh

As the music ended we all backed the crowd breathing deeply as the last number had lots of intricate dance moves. We started snapping our fingers as the final song started.

[Finn:]
I'm gonna make a change, for once in my life

[Finn and Artie:]
It's gonna feel real good, gonna make a difference

[Finn:]
Gonna make it right...

[Puck:]
As I, turn up the collar on my favorite winter coat
This wind is blowin' my mind

[Blaine and Artie:]
I see the kids in the street, with not enough to eat
Who am I, to be blind?
Pretending not to see their needs

[Sam:]
A summer's disregard, a broken bottle top
And a one man's soul

[Artie:]
They follow each other on the wind ya' know

[Artie and Blaine:]
'Cause they got nowhere to go

[Artie:]
That's why I want you to know

[Finn, Puck, Artie, Sam and Blaine:]
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself, and then make that change

[Finn with New Directions:]
I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself, and then make that change

[New Directions:]
You got to get it right, when you got the time
'Cause when you close your ([Artie:]You can't), then you close your
([Artie:]Your) mind!

[Finn with Artie and New Directions:]
I'm starting with the man in the mirror ([New Directions:]Oh yeah)
I'm asking him to change his ways ([Artie:]change his ways)
And no message could have been any clearer ([NewDirections:]Ooh ooh)
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change ([Artie:]Come on!)

[Artie:]
Stand up!
Stand up! ([New Directions:]Make a change!)
Stand up!
Stand up!

[Finn:]
Left, yourself now!
[New Directions(Tina & Quinn harmonizing):]
Man in the mirror!
([Artie:]Ooh!)
([Artie:]Ooh!) Ah aaah
([Artie:]Ooh!) ah aaah
Make that change! ([Artie:]Stand up! Stand up!)

[Sam:]
You know!
You Know!
You Know! ([New Directions:]Man in the mirror!)
You Know!

[New Directions:]
Change!

[Mike:]
Make that change.

QPOV

We won Sectionals the day before today and although Rachel wasn't allowed to sing with us we snuck her in for our celebratory performance in the auditorium. As I walked to the bathroom I got a text.

Hey, we're all set. Goodluck – RB

Entering the bathroom I saw exactly who I was searching for.

"It was that damn Trouty Mouth, even I felt a little something in my lady loins when he did that damn sexy dance." Santana said as I entered trying not to laugh.

"Alright ladies girl talk." I said standing in front Brittany.

"No um uh, don't you dare try to give us a pep talk." Santana said

"Or ask us to come back to New Directions, not interested." Mercedes added.

"Wait is that even possible, you really think they would take us back?" Brittany asked

"Of course they would take us back; but I'm telling you I'm not going."

I smiled and asked a question.

"Do you know what growing up is about? Losing things in six months we'll all be gone, scattered."

"We'll still keep in touch." Mercedes said

"Yeah but it won't be the same, when we see each other it'll be a special occasion, it'll be different. I don't wanna grow up yet. I'm not ready to lose you girls."

"What are we supposed to do come back to glee club and sing background for Blaine and Berry till we graduate? I'm not doing that again." Mercedes said and Santana shook her head. "We know what it's like to be out front now."

"What if Mr. Schue agreed to let the TroubleTones sing at least one number per competition?"

"Well even if Mr. Schue agreed to that Rachel never would." Santana replied

"What if I told you they both already did?"

Santana looked over at Mercedes.

"I'm listening."

"Look I know I went a little crazy." I started, causing all three of them to scoffed at the little part.

"But I'm here now I'm 17 and I have the rest of my life in front of me. I love glee club and I love you girls." I looked at each of them "And when we're 27 or 87 I want us to be able to look back on these next couple months and talk about how it was the best times of our lives." Santana and Brittany held hands and smiled

"We can't do that if we're not all together. We're doing a big number in the auditorium to celebrate our victory and to prepare for Regionals we could use a couple more girl voices. Let me know if you hear about anybody who might wanna join." I said and walked out towards the auditorium.

"How'd it go?" I asked Quinn as she walked into the room. She shook her head and shrugged heading over to sit with Sam as the band played the music. I hated the idea of singing with Finn but for the sake of this number I put our differences aside and started.

[Rachel]

Girl give me a second I,
I need to get my story straight I leaned in to Noah and kissed his cheek.
My friends are in the bathroom getting higher than the Empire State
My lover he's waiting for me just across the bar I looked at Quinn and smiled timidly.
My seat's been taken by some sunglasses asking bout a scar, and

[Finn]

I know I gave it to you months ago
I know you're trying to forget
But between the drinks and subtle things
The holes in my apologies, you know
I'm trying hard to take it back

[Sam and Quinn]
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home

Everyone stood and started dancing and hugging one another as we sang the chorus.

[New Directions]

Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun

[Mercedes and the TroubleTones]

(Whoa)
Tonight Everyone looked over to the girls and I looked down at Quinn who smiled brightly.
We are young [ND: We are young]
So let's set the world on fire [ND: Fire]
We can burn brighter[ND:Brighter] than the sun

[Quinn and (Everyone else)]

Carry me home tonight (Nananananana)

Quinn walked over to the girls along with Rory, Artie and Kurt. She grabbed Mercedes as they danced over to us. Rory lifted Brittany off the ground and Sugar hopped on to Artie's wheelchair while Kurt pushed them towards us.

Just carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
Carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
Just carry me home tonight (Nananananana)

Brittany attacked Mike and Tina hugging them tightly as Mercedes held on to Blaine and Noah.

[Santana]

The angels never arrived
But I can hear the choir
So will someone come and carry me home

I was hugging Sam then I let him go walking towards Santana singing. She smiled brightly at me and we linked hands.

[Rachel]
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire Finn joined in so I walked her over to him and he hugged her as I held on to Mercedes.
We can burn brighter than the sun

[Mercedes: We are young]

[Everybody]
Tonight
We are young [ND: We are young]
So let's set the world on fire [ND: Fire]
We can burn brighter[ND: Brighter] than the sun

[Finn and Rachel]
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home tonight

By the time the sound ended Mr. Schue walked up to us and we all embraced into a huge group hug.

Our family was finally back together.

I know it wasn't much of my writing and i apologize but I really needed you guys to have this chapter I dunno what inspired it. on a side note if you never heard We Are Young you really should. That song is like a personal anthem of mine. So let me know what you thought especially about the kiss and that slap :) i bet i had you guys fooled didn't I?

Okay so more to come and as to celebrate exams being over this is what I plan to add in the next couple chapters:

1. Revenge on Finn

2. Quinn wooing Rachel

3. Families being met. (that will most certainly be interesting. If only you knew what went on in my head)

4. I'm thinking about putting Sam and Mercedes back together What do you guys think? (that decision will be a majority rules type thing so you gotta review or inbox me in order to get your way :)

Leave a comment on anything you want to see or anything you suggest. I'm open to suggestions, criticisms anything. I love to hear from you guys.

So until Wednesday my loves. Stay positive and Be inspired :D
