The unusual match
Sorry I took so long to write this chapter, I have had things on and I have just been plain lazy, I will try and post my next one without so much of a gap but it will probably be after the 13th of June as I have a maths GSCE then and I will be revising
As we walked back to the choir room we didn't talk, we shared a few smiles but stayed in silence. We entered the room and I took my usual seat between Noah and Quinn, I looked at the werewolves sat in front of me, not making eye contact with any of them. "So, what is going on?" Paul asked, he has never been someone known for his subtlety, I sighed not answering the question. "She is staying here." Seth answered for me, I smiled at him; I noticed everyone behind me relax but the guys in front of me tense. "I'm sorry, I will really miss you guys but I can't go." I trailed off looking intently at the floor "We understand," Jacob said "We'll miss you too." and I could tell that he meant it.
Moments later Mr Shuester walked in, he looked surprised at the fact that there were 7 unusual guys in the choir room, "These are my friends, Mr Shue; they can stay can't they?" I asked, Mr Shuester nodded "Yep, sure." He said before turning to the club "Okay, our assignment was to a good song for us all to sing, so far we have only heard Rachel's, Leah's, and Puck's."
"We missed Leah singing? Leah sings?" Jared questioned "Not in front of you guys." I said causing them all to laugh. "Mr Shue?" Tina asked in a quiet voice "Could I perform my number?"
"Sure, the stage is yours." She got up and stood in front of everyone, "My song is True Colours." She told us then she started singing
"You with the sad eyes,
Don't be discouraged,
Oh I relaise it's hard to take courage,
In a world full of people
you can loose sight of it all
the darkness still inside you makes you feel so small,"
She had a really beautiful voice and I couldn't see why she always was so nervous before performing, she had such an angelic voice.
"And I see your true colours shining through,
I see your true colours and that's why I love you
So don't be..."
Her performance was cut short as Coach Sylvester stormed in, "L, Q, S, B, outside now, I need to talk to you girls." She said, showing no signs of remorse after interrupting a performance, "NOW!" she screamed as we hesitated, we hurried out of the room. When we were outside she looked at us "Apparently I can't legally have any cheerios on the squad with broken ribs, so we have lost 3 of them in the tumble today; you girls need to figure out a way to change the routine to account for the loss, or you are all off the team." We all exchanged scared looks "We have got this one Coach." I said confidently "Good, no you can go back to singing and dancing around, but don't you dare hurt yourself." And with that she stormed off in the other direction.
Sue's POV
Everything is going wrong, the cheerios fell today and now I can't do the routine the same as I had planned. I was outraged, when Figgins said that I couldn't use the injured girls, that it was illegal and that they had to rest. This is not fair I need to do that performance to win at nationals, having a winning cheerleading team is what put McKinley High on the map, but now I have to change it and it could fail. The girls say that they would be able to do it fine but it I still aggravating. This is not fair why can they not reform it is not like they are going to die or anything.
Jacob's POV
I wasn't surprised that Leah was going to stay, from the first moment I saw her with them girls I knew that she felt at home here.
I was glad that she wasn't hurt and that she was happy. After she talked her boyfriend he came and said she wanted to talk to Seth. I knew that she would talk to him, explain; I felt sorry for him, he loved Leah and didn't want her to go but he wanted her to be happy. I know that in his ideal world his whole family would be still together and happy, Harry would still be alive and Leah would live in La Push and she would be happy.
When they came back in she sat down between a Mohawk boy and a blonde girl, "So what is happening?" Paul asked bluntly, Leah sighed and didn't answer, Seth answered for her "She is staying here." We all tensed, I knew that it was going to happen but I still didn't want it too. "I'm sorry, I will really miss you guys but I can't go." She said, "We understand," I said "We'll miss you too." She looked at me and smiled.
Then a teacher entered the room, he gave us all weird looks obviously wondering who we were "These are my friends, Mr Shue; they can stay can't they?" Leah asked, the teacher, Mr Shue, nodded "Yep, sure." He said before turning to the rest of the room "Okay, our assignment was to a good song for us all to sing, so far we have only heard Rachel's, Leah's, and Puck's."
"We missed Leah singing? Leah sings?" Jared questioned "Not in front of you guys." Leah said causing them us to laugh. "Mr Shue?" A young Asian girl asked in a quiet voice "Could I perform my number?"
"Sure, the stage is yours." She got up and stood in front of everyone, "my song is True Colours." She told us then she started singing. She was really good, her voice was soft and sweet, she looked really nervous and unsure. Just as she was getting confident in performing in front of 7 strangers, a tall, blonde woman entered the room and rudely interrupted saying "L, Q, S, B, outside now, I need to talk to you girls." Nobody moved "NOW!" she screamed; Leah, the blonde who was sat next to her, a Latino and another blonde got up and moved hastily toward her.
"She seems nice." Quil said sarcastically, the group laughed, "Isn't she." Said a tall boy "Finn by the way." He said, "hey" we all said. The rest of the grouped introduced themselves, her boyfriend was called Puck, or Noah Puckerman, the Asian boy was called Mike, the blonde boy was called Sam (much to Sam Uley Displeasure), the smallest boy was called Kurt, the black girl was Mercedes, the quiet Asian was called Tina and the girls that left were called Santana, Quinn and Brittany; we all introduced ourselves.
The girls came back in, and sat back down. "So, we better go" Embry said "we'll see you tomorrow." Leah nodded and smiled, she hugged all of us before we left. I was really going to miss her.
Leah's POV
I was sad to see the boys go, but I knew I would see them again soon. I went and sat back down and Mr Shue carried on with the lesson but I didn't pay attention. 20 minutes later and Coach Sylvester made her second appearance calling Mr Shue out of the class and giving us all time to talk. "So," Santana started "What was with you and that guy?" I looked at her questioningly "What guy?" she rolled her eyes, the tall one who didn't say much, I didn't catch his name. He looked like the oldest one."
"Oh, you mean Sam."
"Oh, the name stealer." Sam (Evans) said
"Yeah"
"So, what has happened between you two and who is Emily?"
"Hmmm, Yeah" Santana raised her eyebrow "We dated for a bit, it ended kinda badly"
"Badly how and who is Emily?" Santana persisted
"Badly as in he fell in love with my second cousin, Emily; it sort of ended when they met..." I trailed off
"What a jerk." Sam said.
"No, I mean he is a nice guy. But, you know... we weren't meant for each other."
"Ok" Santana responded, sensing that I was uncomfortable talking about it.
"So, what are we going to do tonight?" Noah asked, changing the subject, "Well..." Kurt started and then set off in to a rant about what we could do with no really listening, I smiled at Noah. After a while Mr Shue came back in and he told us that we were going to have to cancel this lesson as he and Coach Sylvester needed to talk to Principal Figgins about health and safety around the school.
We all walked out of the choir room together and decided that we would drive home get our stuff and get to Kurt's earlier than planned. On the drive back to Auntie Elle's I thought about what had happened; I, for the first time, had felt included, truly included. They wanted me around not needed me around. I got there and opened the door with the key Elle gave me this morning, I saw Elle come around the corner from the kitchen. "Hey, how was your day of school?" she asked smiling, she had a bowl with baking in it and she was mixing it absentmindedly as she spoke "I know that your brother and his friends came to visit you today," she stated "I told them where you are, I hope you don't mind..." she trailed off looking at the floor, Elle looked guilty, she probable thought that I would mind. "It is okay, actually, thank you. I really needed to talk to them, we worked it out." She smiled
"I know that, they said that you were staying and they worked it out. Then they went out for food."
I laughed "Yeah, they're always hungry." We shared a look before I said "glee club finish early so I am going to Kurt's now," grabbing my bag "See ya tomorrow." I said hugging her
"Bye" she said as I made my way towards the door, when I opened it I saw a black truck parked outside the house, and inside it was Noah (A.N. I have just decided that Puck drives a black truck) I smiled and climbed into the passenger seat waving at Elle.
"Hey," he said as I fastened my seat belt "I thought you maybe wanted a lift." I smiled
"Thanks" I said, I couldn't help but smile.
We didn't talk much on the way to Kurt's house only commenting on the music on the radio. It didn't take long to get to Kurt's, only around 10 minutes. When we got there we were directed to the basement by Carol Hummel (Finn's mother, who had married Kurt's dad last month), there was only Kurt, Mercedes, Quinn, Finn and Sam. They were all sat down on bean bags chatting; they looked up at us as we came down. Kurt immediately jumped up and took on the role of good host, he took our bag and directed us to our own bean bags. Noah sat next to me and Finn and started a conversation with him and Sam about the football game that is going on next week; I just sat quietly not wanting to interrupt anyone's conversation. Quinn seemed to pick up on my discomfort, "So, Leah, what do you think that we are going to do about the cheerleading routine?" starting our conversation on cheerleading as Kurt and Mercedes continued theirs on fashion.
After about half an hour everyone had arrived and was sat in the basement (which was Kurt's room), at this point Kurt got up and said "Okay, everyone is here, so, boys you can go up to Finn's room and do whatever you guys do up there and us girls will be doing make up in here." All the guys look shocked at getting kicked out, Kurt saw this and quickly added "Or you can stay here, I think Puckerman would look amazing with pink nail varnish" All the girls laughed as the guys made a hasty exit.
"So, Leah; what's happening with you and Puck?" Santana asked
"I...I..." I looked down, blushing.
"Leave the poor girl alone, whatever is happening in her personal is nothing to do with us" Kurt said, taking my hand and inspecting it.
"You are only saying that as you don't want to ask you about Blaine Anderson." Mercedes said smirking, Kurt went bright red, and looked down. He changed topic.
"So, Leah, ever had a manicure before?" he said facing me, I shook my head.
"What?" Tina asked "never?" everyone looked shocked
"No, I have never had time; I always hung around boys and never really did anything I wanted to, just, what they wanted to do. I never had any 'girlie' time" I looked down
"Well that is about to change."
It was amazing we all sat around talking and laughing we had got changed in to our pyjamas and we all had manicures, pedicures and facials. I don't think that I had this much fun since, well, ever. They are all such amazing people and I am lucky to have found them.
At 7 o'clock all the guys came down with pizza, after some dispute we agreed to watch 'How I Met Your Mother' while we ate and then the girls will choose a film then the boys. I wasn't that fussed." We (the girls + Kurt) decided to watch 'The Notebook' and all the guys sat there commenting on how cheesy it was and how much it sucked and Noah kept moaning that they stole his name; I personally found them more entertaining than the movie. After that the boys chose to watch the 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre'. I know that it is girlie but I hate horror movies so I spent most of the film hiding behind Noah as did most of the other girls (Behind different guys, not all behind Noah).
After that they we all decided to stop watching the films and play some drinking games, this was more like what we did in La Push. We played 'Never have I ever', Finn starts "Never have I ever... Played this game before." We all laughed and everyone but Quinn and Mike drunk then it was Sam "Never have I ever... kissed a guy" and then all of the girls and Kurt drank, we all looked at him "So, you and Blaine huh?" Mercedes asked, he just turned red and looked at the floor, and then Tina went "Never have I ever... kissed a girl" at this all the guys, Santana and Brittany all drank. Next it was Kurt's turn but before he could say anything Mercedes interrupted him "Guys, I don't want to ruin the fun but we need to add some emotional ones." We all agreed, then Kurt started "Okay then, never have I ever... Felt that their parents preferred a sibling to you" at that Kurt, Noah, Santana, Sam, Artie and me all drank. "But, you a sibling to you" at that Kurt, Noah, Santana, Sam, Artie and me all drank. "But, you don't have a sibling." Finn said, obviously confused "Well, when you were hanging around with my dad I felt that he wished that you were his son not me."
"What about you?" Quinn said looking at Noah
"My little sister, my mum thinks that she is the best child that she could have and I'm just a failure." He said looking down,
"Same here." Santana "It seems that they can't do anything wrong, and if they do it is our fault and we should have taught them better."
"I know how you feel." I said
"Artie?" Quinn asked
"My parents have to give me attention and 'cause of the chair but I know that they only do that as they have to, I know that they prefer my brother."
"Sam?"
"It's just my dad, he thinks they are better than me and that they will do more with their lives 'cause I'm dyslexic and I'm not star quarterback and these are all important in his eyes."
We all looked down for a second. Then Quinn took her go "Never have I ever... broken the law." Everyone hesitated and then Quinn added "Excluding underage drinking." At that Noah, Rachel, Santana, Mercedes and Mike all drank;
"Stories?" Kurt demanded
"You know mine, fights and theft." Noah said,
"I stole some sweets from Wall-Mart when I was I kid." Mike explained
"Same here, but I felt so guilt I couldn't eat them and when I next when back I took them and put them back on the shelf." Mercedes admitted.
"What about you Berry, you don't even swear, what did you do?" Noah questioned, Rachel looked down,
"Well, I wanted to go to the Lima community centre production of 'Rent' but my dad's said that it was too late and I couldn't go on my own as my car was in the shop so I took my dad's keys and took his car to the show. They were so mad when I got back but they only grounded me for a month so, it was fine." She said
"Wow, Berry, grand theft-auto. I must be rubbing off on you." She smiled.
We stopped playing after that and we turn on a movie, but none of us watched it, we just sat and talked as it buzzed in the background. I learnt a lot about them that night; more than any has ever told about themselves, well voluntary, not including the wolf telepathy. We all drifted asleep in the early hours of the morning, most of us just sat on our sleeping bags and not in them.
I was the first one to wake up that morning; I just lay there listening to the sounds of them quietly snoring and the birds chirping outside. I stayed there for a while until someone else woke up, it was Tina. "Hey, you up?" she asked
"No" I replied sarcastically "I am just very fluently speaking in my sleep." She smiled. We sat and talked for I while, I found that I really liked Tina, she was really interesting and she seemed really genuine. Finally, somebody else woke up, this time it Finn, and he didn't do it quietly, "what? Where am I? Ohhh..." he said loudly in a groggy voice before realising that he was at sleepover, but by then it was too late he had already woke everyone up and they didn't look to pleased about it.
"Shut up dude, do you have to do this every time that you don't wake up in your own room?" at this Finn reddened
"Well, since we are all up, I'll make breakfast. We have muffins, pancakes, croissants, cereal, toast eggs- fried, boiled or scrambles, or grain bars. So, Puck?"
He looked up, looking very tired "I'll just have a coffee, not decaf." He said
"Tina?"
"Herbal tea and a croissant, please."
"Mike?"
"Toast and jam, with a coffee"
"Mercedes?"
"Pancakes please, with a glass of pure orange juice."
"Finn?"
"Cornflakes."
"Santana?"
"Pancakes and coffee."
"Artie?"
"Scrambled eggs on toast and a glass of water."
"Sam?"
"Scrambled eggs on toast and coffee."
"Brittany?"
"Yeah?"
"What do you want for breakfast, Britt?"
"I don't know, breakfast is so confusing, I mean, do I want something sweet or something salty?"
"Kurt, just get her a muffin."
"Will do, Santana. Leah"
"Leah?"
"Coffee and a muffin please." I replied, I am a creature of habit and I always had Emily's muffins in La Push. We all went up to the living room we sat down as Kurt went to get breakfast ready. We went Kurt came back in to the room carrying the drinks; we all collected our own (apart from Brittany, who was still confused.) Kurt came back with all our food and we started eating, Noah finished his drink and got up declaring that he is going to grab a shower.
When I finished I went to go downstairs and get changed, as I did I saw Noah leaving the shower room, with only a towel wrapped around waist; I stopped and I couldn't help staring, he smirked at me before walking up to me and pulling me into a kiss before passing me and entering Finn's room. I froze for a second before I regained my composure and continued down stairs.
I dressed in a white tee and a pair of black skinny jeans before pulling my hair back into a pony tail and heading back upstairs.
After everyone was up and dressed we started to leave, Kurt wanted us to do something else together but we all said that we had things that needed to be done; Noah, Santana and Sam had to babysit younger siblings, Mike and Tina had a part time job at Mike's parents' Chinese restaurant which they had to go to, Artie had a family gathering to attend, Rachel had dance class and Britt, well, Britt was doing something, no-one quiet figured out what she was talking about.
We all went separate ways at around noon.
Noah drove me back to Elle's house and gave me a kiss goodbye, at which I turned bright red (what was wrong with me I never blush). I walked to the door and waved to him as he drove off, I opened the door and walked in. As I entered the living room I came face to face with 7 humongous guys, all eating, typical.
"Hey, guys." I said dumping my bag and sitting on the edge of the sofa grabbing a chocolate from the table, and sitting on the love seat next to Seth.
"How was your night?" Elle asked bringing out more chocolate for them to eat.
"Awesome." I replied
"Was your boyfriend there?" Paul mocked
"Not that it is any of your business, but yes."
"So, what you going to do about this cheerleading thing?" Jared asked, completely taking the piss. I rolled my eyes, they laughed.
"Oh my god," Elle exclaimed when she came back in to find the chocolate bowl empty "I know that you said that they had a big appetite but I thought you were exaggerating. Seriously I won't have any food left at the end of the day." We all laughed
"Know you know how Emily felt, constantly having to cook for 16 hungry wolves (A. Elle know that they are werewolves,)" they all laughed again.
We just sat like that, talking for at least 2 ½ hours; it was amazing.
I went too go and get the boys some food and drink when Seth followed me into the kitchen.
"Hey, sis." He said as he entered
"Hey, what's up?"
"I was just thinking about this guy are dating."
"Yea, what about him?"
"He, well, you know... after what happened with Sam, I dunno." I smiled
"I be fine, I'm a big girl."
"Okay..." he said but he sounded unconvinced, I rolled my eyes,
"You going on big brother on me?" he just smirked and made his way back into the living room, taking a bag of chocolate bars with him, I grabbed the drinks and followed him.
At about 7 o'clock the guys said they had to go back to Washington. I said goodbye to all of them, not really wanting them to go. Sam pulled me aside just before they left to talk.
"Hey Leah."
"Hey"
"Look I know that what happened between us was my fault but I don't want it to force a wedge between you and Emily, she really misses you and it would mean al lot to her if you could come to the wedding, it would mean a lot to both of us."
I hesitated but I knew what I wanted to do, "I'll be there." He smiled and walked out the door, I followed through the door and walked up to the lads I walked with them to the nearby wood I waved as they walked in, hugging Seth. I heard them phase, and seconds later a saw seven pairs of eyes, wolf eyes, looking at me through the foliage. A single tear fell from my eye as they turned and started running home. I walked back and entered Elle's house where she pulled me into a hug. Then I went to bed thinking about what had happened that day.
Hope to update soon, I plan to have some human drama in the next chapter, followed probably by some supernatural in the chapter after that. I listen to your reviews and try to take into account what you say (even if it takes me a few chapters) so please feel free to give me ideas.
Reviews are like food for me so the more you review the quicker I write
