"Papa don't Preach"
Chapter 6
"Back to December"
"...We have to talk." I whispered.
"Can it wait?" he asked, turning away from me.
"What?" I asked turning to see what he saw.
"Shaileen!" he exclaimed, a smile almost immediately appearing on his face. I frowned, knowing what was going on. She ran towards him, taking him into a great embrace. I don't think I had ever seen him so happy.
"Kids..." Mr. Matt, our Glee director growled, shooting them a look. He kissed her on the cheek. It might as well have been a punch in my gut. My heart just sank. They held hands together, and walked to their chairs.
"BETHYY!" girls screamed from behind me. I squealed turning around, very excited. My three best friends stood behind me, their smiling faces quickly healing my wounds. Adrianne, Marina, and Kendra were some of the best friends a girl could ever ask for.
"Guys!" I squealed, as we all group hugged. "I've missed you guys so much!"
"What's up with that?" growled Marina, referring to the lovey-dovey couple behind me, which I didn't even want to think about.
My tears began flooding out, without permission.
"Mr. Matt?" Kendra called. "Beth would like to go first."
"What?" I snapped. "No!"
"Just do it." she sighed. "'Back to December'-You'll do great." she said, turning around to go back to her chair with Adrianne and Marina. I felt my cheeks begin to burn as Robert, the piano player, began playing the melody.
I'm so glad you made time to see me.
How's life, tell me how's your family?
I haven't seen them in a while.
You've been good, busier then ever.
We small talk, work and the weather
your guard is up and I know why.
'Cause the last time you saw me
is still burned in the back of your mind.
You gave me roses and I left them there to die.
So this is me swallowing my pride,
standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night,
And I go back to December all the time.
Turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you,
wishing that I realized what I had when you were mine.
I'd go back to December, turn around and make it all right.
I go back to December all the time.
These days I haven't been sleeping
Staying up playing back myself leaving,
when your birthday passed and I didn't call.
And I think about summer, all the beautiful times
I watched you laughing from the passenger side
Realized that I loved you in the fall.
Then the cold came, the dark days when fear crept into my mind.
You gave me all your love and all I gave you was goodbye.
So this is me swallowing my pride,
standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night.
And I go back to December all the time.
Turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you,
wishing that I realized what I had when you were mine.
I'd go back to December turn around and change my own mind.
I go back to December all the time
I miss your tan skin, your sweet smile, so good to me, so right,
And how you held me in your arms that September night,
The first time you ever saw me cry.
Maybe this is wishful thinking,
probably mindless dreaming
If we loved again I swear I'd love you right.
I'd go back in time and change it but I can't
so if the chain is on your door, I understand.
But this is me swallowing my pride,
standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night,
And I go back to December.
Turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you,
wishing that I realized what I had when you were mine.
I'd go back to December turn around and make it alright.
I'd go back to December turn around and change my own mind.
I go back to December all the time.
All the time.
The room clapped. I stepped forward to face him.
"Josh, meet me before the last school bell rings."
END OF THE SCHOOL DAY.
"Don't forget!" Mrs. Keen's voice rang in my ears. "Do page three through fourteen!"
"Yes Mrs. Keen." the entire classroom said in unison, monotone.
I sprinted to my locker, jammed my things into my book bag, and ran. I didn't even bother on waiting. I ran as fast as I could, away from my fears, and ashamedness that I felt towards telling him.
"Beth!" Kendra called, seeing me racing toward the parking lot. "Let's go! Marina and Adrianne are already waiting in the car."
"Oh that's right," I said, rubbing my forehead. "Let's go!" I said, exasperated.
From where I was standing, I saw Josh's face, puzzled, as he waited for someone who would never show up at my locker.
I opened the car door, and jumped in behind Kendra.
"Go." I urged Marina.
"Sheesh! Hormones much?" Adrianne giggled.
"I stood him up." I explained.
"What?" they all said, disapprovingly.
"I was afraid" I admitted quietly. They all sighed, knowing that if they were in my shoes, they would've done the same exact thing.
"You're gonna have to tell him at some point." Kendra pointed out. I sighed, knowing she was more than right.
"Well, geez Ken," Adrianne said defensively. "Beth decided that today just wasn't that day!"
"It doesn't matter. He has Shaileen." I said; the words tasted bitter.
"Well, we'll call you later, 'kay Beth?" Marina said, as the car pulled up to my house.
"Alright." I said "Thanks for the ride." I said, shutting the door behind me. I pulled my key out from my book bag, and when I looked up, I realized Finn was sitting on the porch alone.
"Hey Beth." he said quietly.
"Finn, what happened?" I asked, confused.
"She kicked me out..."
"Quinn?" I guessed.
"Yup, I told her everything." he admitted.
"Get up." I sighed, already having a plan in mind.
"Ready?" I asked, my old boom-box in hand.
"Are you sure this is gonna work?" he asked, worriedly.
"Are you questioning the plan?" I snapped. He smiled. I smiled back. "Ready...?" I motioned. "One, two, three! Hit it!" I said, pressing the play button.
The song began, and so did Finn. I sang the background parts where in the original song, B.o.B. sang, while Bruno Mars did.
Beautiful girls all over the world
I could be chasing but my time would be wasted
They got nothing on you baby
Nothing on you baby
They might say hi and I might say hey
But you shouldn't worry about what they say
Cos they got nothing on you baby
Nothing on you baby
Rachel's curious face appeared in the window.
Not not not nothing on you babe
Not not nothing on you
I know you feel where I'm coming from
Regardless of the things in my past that I've done
Most of really was for the hell of the fun
On the carousel so around I spun (spun)
With no directions just try'na get some (some)
Try'na chase skirts, living in the summer sun (sun)
This is how I lost more than I had ever won
And honestly I ended up with none
There's no much nonsense
It's on my conscience
I'm thinking baby I should get it out
And I don't wanna sound redundant
But I was wondering if there was something that you wanna know
(That you wanna know)
But never mind that we should let it go (we should let it go)
Cos we don't wanna be a TV episode (TV episode)
And all the bad thoughts just let them go (go, go, go)
Beautiful girls all over the world

Nothing on you baby
Not not not nothing on you babe
Not not nothing on you
Hands down there will never be another one
I been around and I never seen another one
Look at your style they ain't really got nothing on
And you out and you ain't got nothing on
Baby you the whole package plus you pay your taxes
And you keep it real while them other stay plastic
You're my wonder women call me Mr. Fantastic
Stop... now think about it
I've been to London, I've been to Paris
Even went out there to Tokyo
Back home down in Georgia to New Orleans
But you always still to show (still to show)
And just like that girl you got me fro (got me fro)
Like a Nintendo 64 (64)
If you never knew well now you know (know, know, know)
Beautiful girls all over the world

They might say hi and I might say hey
But you shouldn't worry about what they say
Cos they got nothing on you baby
Nothing on you baby
Not not not nothing on you babe
Not not nothing on you
Everywhere I go I'm always hearing your name (name, name)
And no matter where I'm at girl you make me wanna sing (sing)
Weather a bus or a plane or a car or a train
No other girls in my brain and you the one to blame
Beautiful girls all over the world
I could be chasing but my time would be wasted

Nothing on you baby
They might say hi and I might say hey
But you shouldn't worry about what they say

Not not not nothing on you babe
Not not nothing on you
Yeah and that's just how we do it
And I'ma let this ride
F.I.N.N. and Beth Corcoran.
Rachel's head left the window. Finn and I sighed.
"I knew this wouldn't wor..." Finn was interrupted by the click of the lock. Rachel stepped out, and ran towards him.
"I love you." she said quietly, as Finn kissed her. I felt emotional, and as a grin spread across my face, a tear in my eye gathered.
