Disclaimer: I don't own Glee or any of its characters expect Charlie, Taylor and any characters I may add in future chapters.
Finn POV:
Mike and Charlie just showed us a hard routine and wanted us to copy what they did. Booty camp is really hard. It's bad enough that I can't dance if my life depended on it. I tried to do the move and fell. I don't know if the move is too hard or if it's because my mind is on other things like Rachel or what I'm going to do after high school. I hit the floor with my fist hard in frustration while looking down to the floor. A hand came right in front of my face. I looked up to see Charlie bent over lending me her hand.
"It's okay Finn. You'll be dancing great in no time," she comforted.
"I can't do this," I growled with frustration.
"Stop. Yes you can," she argued softly, placing her hands on her knees. "Even if I have to drill you after booty camp's over. We'll work on this."
I look up to her and slightly smile. She placed her hand out once more. "Now are you going to try again or am I going to have to physically get you up and make you try again," she joked.
I chuckled. "You won't give up will you?"
She smiled and shook her head. "Not a chance. You're so much more than you think you are Finn. You need to start realizing that," she finished. I grinned and took her hand.
When I got up, she showed me the dance move once more then nodded towards me. I took a deep breath and did the move. When I finished, I smiled widely.
I did it! I, Finn Hudson, can actually dance.
I scooped Charlie in a bear hug and thanked her. "I knew you could do it! No need to thank me, you had it in you all along."
Everyone else came towards me and congratulated me until everyone saw Quinn standing there, looking at us. She looked nervous, rubbing her arm. She looked so different now, her pink her and piercings gone.
"Can I help you Quinn?" Mr. Schue asked equally shocked as we all were.
She placed a piece of hair behind her ear. "I was told this is a place where you could have people accept you for who you are. I need help in my dancing, I'm a little rusty so would it be cool if I joined in?" she asked. Afraid to hear him say no, she looked to the floor.
I looked at Mr. Schue, who smiled and nodded. "Yes you heard right. Welcome back Quinn," he said with open arms. Everyone smiled and walked up to Quinn either hugging her or patting her back.
Mike gave her a bear hug saying welcome back. Noah said he was proud of her. Charlie even smiled and told her nice change, this look suits you. I just patted her on the back happy to have her back on the team. We have such a great chance of winning Nationals.
Santana POV:
I walked up to Rachel and Sam with my pinky linked to Britt. They both looked up at me with weird faces.
"Here these are for you guys," I said with an eye roll. Rachel examined the envelope carefully. I scoffed and snatched it away from her. "It's called a invitation Berry. I know you never had the pleasure of being invited to popular peoples parties so don't get your panties in a bunch."
Her and Sam's mouths were wide open and I knew for a fact it wasn't because of the way I talked to her. "Thank you," she said taken back by the invite.
I folded my arms. "Yeah well don't get too happy. I invited the whole Glee club so it was only right to invite you even though I had my personal debates about it and I knew Trouty mouth here wouldn't like the fact you weren't invited. Oh and don't get me started on Frankenteen."
She nodded her head. "Still thank you Santana. You're much too kind."
What the hell?
I know I'm always mean to Rachel but she would always have a witty comment to shoot back at me. Now she has gone all….soft. I unfolded my arms. "Yeah…no problem," I said as I linked pinkies with Britt-Britt again. "Come on Britts we need to go to practice.
Glee!
"Where's Aretha?" I asked. I knew I had seen her fat ass at lunch so she must be skipping the meeting. Everyone started to notice too that she wasn't there and shrugged their shoulders.
"I seen her in my last period class. She's probably running late," Kurt defended her. Mr. Schue walked into the choir room talking about the next assignment he had for us this week. Duets. I just hope I get partnered with Brittany. I really don't want to sing with any of these losers but Britt.
"I'll be picking your partners this time around," Mr. Schue finished.
Ugh spoke too soon.
When Mr. Schue was about to call out the first pair, Shelby walked through the doors.
"Hello Will, Rachel, Quinn, Puck, everyone," she started.
Okay what the hell?
Didn't this chick leave like a year ago? I automatically looked to Quinn then Rachel. Quinn looked so pissed off and Rachel just had a poker face, completely unreadable. There was an uncomfortable silence in the room; it felt like everyone was holding their breath.
"What are you doing here?" Rachel finally spoke.
"I'm the new teacher here and the new Glee club coach that Mercedes and Sugar have joined under Mr. Motta's order," she cautiously stated. Everyone gasped even me. "And I want to make peace with how I left things a year ago," she said looking towards Quinn and Puck.
Quinn got up. "Like hell you are!" she stomped her foot. Puck placed a hand on her shoulder to calm her down.
Mr. Schue got up from his chair and walked to Shelby. "Shelby this isn't a good time. We could talk later."
She nodded with a frown and started to slowly walk out the door. She paused for a second and looked back at Rachel. "I hope we can talk later, Rachel," she ended and left.
"Alright guys let's get back to the assignment," Mr. Schue said trying to cheer up everyone.
"Are you serious? There's another Glee club at this school and you expect us to brush that off?" I spoke up kind of upset. I wanted to win Nationals this year because Glee club actually means something to me. I wouldn't let prissy bitch get in my way especially when I might get a solo this year.
Tina bursted out in tears while Mike comforted her. "This can't be happening! How could Mercedes leave? She was one of the original six."
I rolled my eyes. "Tina really crying loses its affect after doing it so many times. I say good riddance so much for loyalty. Will you be leaving to Berry now that your mommy is back?" I cruelly said. I know it was a low blow but I sometimes I can't help being a complete bitch.
Sam shot me a glare as well as Charlie and Finn. "Back off San. She didn't even know her mother was back," Sam defensively said.
Rachel placed a hand on his arm. "It's okay Sam." She turned to me. "No I will not be joining her Santana. Family actually means something to me," she calmly said back.
My features softened. Did she just say we're all family?
That brought me back to the end of last year when Brittany said something similar.
"Now that you're done being a bitch, can we get back to more important things?" Charlie said.
Puck got up and walked to the piano. "Yeah like us losing one of our best singers and I'm not talking about Sugar."
Finn got up and faced us all. "Come on guys. We can't let this bring us down. We have to stick together more than ever now. We can't let a lost like this let us turn against each other."
Blaine got up and stood next to Finn. "Yeah Finn's right. Back at Dalton, the Warblers would just replace whoever left," Blaine inputted.
"Dude that's cool when your waiting list has a waiting list but we don't have that here so if you could sit down because I'm trying to give a pep talk," Finn coldly stated.
Blaine sat down with disappointment on his face. Typical Finn, whenever he felt threatened he got all defensive. "I thought you said let's not fight against each other," Blaine mumbled but we all heard it.
"Finn please sit down," Mr. Schue asked and he obeyed like the sad puppy he is.
Mr. Schue put a hand on his forehead and shook it. "Guys don't worry. We're going to go to Nationals. I promised you that didn't I?" Everyone nodded. "Okay then back to duet partners."
"Artie and Finn." They shared a high five but I saw right through Finnocence. You can smell the disappointment off him that he wasn't partnered with Rachel. Pathetic cluster filled nipple loser.
"Kurt and Brittany."
"Hold up Mr. Schue. Me and Britts were suppose to be partners," I bitterly remarked.
"Santana you and Brittany were already partners. I want to see how Kurt and her voice are together," Mr. Schue exasperated. "Plus Santana you're paired with Mike."
"Are you serious Mr. Schue? No offense Mike I like you better than the rest of these people but I can't be paired with can't carry a tune over here. This has got to be the worst," I argued slumping in my seat with crossed arms.
"Actually Santana, I've been helping Mike with his singing and he's a lot better now," Tina defended.
"Good can't wait for you to showcase it Mike. Ok next is Puck and Blaine," Mr. Schue continued, ignoring what I had to say. Blaine looked nervously over at Puck who looked indifferent, probably thinking about how many girls he's going to hook up with this year.
"Sam and Charlie." Well isn't that fricking charming.
I rolled my eyes at the fact that they shared a look between each other and smiled. Could Trouty Mouth be more obvious with his crimson red cheeks and goofy smile that I would love to just slap off his face?
"Rachel and Quinn." I started laughing. Karma may bite me in the ass at times but this is just too rich.
"Mr. Schue are you sure you're not out to get us? Putting Manhands and Preggers over here together especially when they're having the same problem right now," I teased earning a few glares from both of them. I put my hands up in defense but still had a smirk that graced my face.
"And since Mercedes and Sugar are gone Tina you can join Puck and Blaine. Now before we leave, Blaine, I think you have a song you wanted to perform for us?"
Blaine got up and walked to the center of the room. "I think it's the perfect time to perform this song because of recent events. This should remind us about how Glee club is suppose to be you know fun," he finished and cued for the band to start playing.
Blaine POV:
I bobbed my head while holding onto my hat with one hand. Moving to the beat, I clapped my hands as everyone else started moving their heads to the beat.
I looked then moved to sit next to Brittany.
There's a stranger in my bed,
There's a pounding in my head
I laid next to her with one arm around her shoulders then motioned with my fist the pounding in my head. Santana got up and lifted Brittany up, sending me glares.
Glitter all over the room
Pink flamingos in the pool
I smell like a mini bar
DJ's passed out in the yard
Barbie's on the barbeque
There's a hickey or a bruise
I ran up to Tina and Mike while pointing to my neck on the hickey part.
Pictures of last night
Ended up online
Mike and Artie joined in singing. When Mike pulled Tina close as he put up the magazine to cover them, I came behind them and took the magazine as Artie rolled by taking a picture of them on his phone.
I'm screwed
Oh well
It's a black top blur
But I'm pretty sure it ruled
Damn!
Tina got out of her sit to grab the phone away from Artie while Mike and me faked being drunk. Quinn and Rachel ran out of their seats to the other side of the room, getting up on the tables.
Last Friday night
Yeah we danced on tabletops
And we took too many shots
Think we kissed but I forgot
Last Friday night
Me and Mike lifted Rachel and Quinn placing them on the floor carefully.
Yeah we maxed our credit cards
And got kicked out of the bar
So we hit the boulevard
Last Friday night
We went streaking in the park
Skinny dipping in the dark
Then had a ménage a trois
Kurt did his infamous sashay when I danced up to him. Artie, Rachel and Charlie placed both their hands behind their head and shook left to right. Mike was dancing with Tina and Quinn danced next to Puck who was still sitting.
Last Friday night
Sam, Finn and Puck jumped out of their seats to dance with us.
Yeah I think we broke the law
Always say we're gonna stop-op
Whoa-oh-oah
I looked to Santana who looked like she wasn't having a good time and sang to her.
This Friday night
Finn walked up to Rachel who was standing on one of the chairs and he danced with her. Finn dipped her and when she came back up there was a smile plastered on her face.
Do it all again
I put my hands out and Kurt grabbed them skipping out of his seat. We started swinging our hands until Mike danced between us. Kurt and I raised our hands to let Artie roll by.
This Friday night
Tina, Quinn, Puck and Brittany were all dancing in the back row of the choir room.
Do it all again
Charlie jumped on Sam's back and Sam ran around the room giving Charlie a piggyback ride.
T.G.I.F.
T.G.I.F.
T.G.I.F.
T.G.I.F.
T.G.I.F.
T.G.I.F.
Everyone stopped dancing and fist pumped to the beat. I was front and center orchestrating everyone to follow what I was doing. Brittany, Tina, Puck and Quinn together. Mike, Kurt and Artie standing next to each other. Finn was holding onto Rachel's side so she wouldn't fall off the chair. Sam was still carrying Charlie on his back. Santana was still sitting at the corner of the room not looking happy.
Last Friday night
Yeah we danced on tabletops
And we took too many shots
Think we kissed but I forgot
The boys and I all lined up in the back of the room and all the girls jumped forward.
Last Friday night
Everyone except Santana ran towards the whiteboard and ran back. The boys stood at the back row and the girls stood in the front row of chairs. They all slid to the right or left then switched and slide to the again in opposite directions.
Yeah we maxed our credit cards
And got kicked out of the bar
So we hit the boulevard
Last Friday night
I started dancing down the steps and everyone followed in a straight line.
We went streaking in the park
Skinny dipping in the dark
Then had a ménage a trois
Rachel softly slapped my butt, which made turn around and move forward while she moved back stilling singing the lyrics. Santana give an amused yet weird facial expression.
Last Friday night
Yeah I think we broke the law
Always say we're gonna stop
Oh-whoa-oh
Everyone was dancing on the floor except Santana then ran back to their seats while I stood in the middle of the room again.
This Friday night
Do it all again.
Everyone cheered and clapped. Now this is the way Glee clubs suppose to be.
Next Day:
Rachel POV:
I slowly walked into school by myself. Sam couldn't pick me up because he woke up late. It didn't matter though; I needed a walk for some fresh air and to think.
I still remembered the conversation my mom and I had when she found me practicing in the auditorium. Every moment we shared together felt so right especially when we sang Somewhere together. How could I easily forgive her though? I mean she abandoned me. My thoughts were interrupted when Finn walked right beside me.
"Hey Rach! What's up?" he eagerly started.
I gave him a slight smile. "Nothing really. Thank you for asking."
He walked in front of me stopping me from walking any further. "Is something wrong? Did I do something to make you mad?" he asked a little scared.
I shook my head. "No it's not you. Its just yesterday after school Shelby came to talk to me in the auditorium. We sang "Somewhere" and shared this moment; this bond that only mother and daughters share and I thought I would never feel again after what happened sophomore year."
Finn raised his eyebrow. "Ok…so what's wrong?"
I chuckled a little typical clueless Finn. "That's all it was Finn. A moment that came and went. How do I know she won't leave again? I know she wants to make things right between us but she can't just come into my life unexpectedly. Plus she mostly came here to fix things with Puck and Quinn about Beth anyway. Once again I've taken a back sit to Quinn Fabray," I finished coldly.
"You're wrong Rach. You're better than Quinn and everyone else in this school. If no one can see that they're blind. You don't get it do you? You're special Rach."
That's what I love about Finn. Sweet, adorable and overall nicest guy I know which makes me feel like I'm not good enough for him. I placed a hand on his cheek and rubbed it soothingly. "You know you're the greatest right?"
He gave a half grin and shook his head. "No you are Rach."
My smile disappeared. I looked to the floor. "If I'm so great then I wouldn't of cheated on you last year. I seem to never make things right."
He placed a finger under my chin and lifted my head. "We all make mistakes and if people can't see past those mistakes then they don't love you or don't care about you as much as I do," he voiced.
He looked at me waiting for my response. Shock must have showed because he looked anywhere but directly at me. "Finn…I don't know what to say," I said being as honest as I could be.
He shook his head but put on a brave face. "It's cool Rach. I'll…umm…see you later," Finn said pulling his backpack over his shoulder again before turning around to leave. He stood there for a while. "You know I'm never going to give up on us."
I looked at him with awe and nodded in understanding. He showed off his trademark grin and left.
Glee!
Sam was talking about the next comic book character coming out in theaters as I wrote things down on my to do list. My dads always taught me that in order to pursue your dreams and maintain organization, I must make a list. I occasionally nodded at Sam to show him how impeccable my multitasking skills were.
The room suddenly became indistinct as music rendered. I looked up to see Finn walking into the choir room playing his guitar. His attention was solely on me as he began to sing.
I never thought I would,
But I did it.
I never thought I could.
I did it like that.
I did it like this.
I did like everybody knows,
That we.
I surveyed the room to see everyone else's reaction. They were either clapping their hands or had an astonished facial expression like me.
Got something real, baby.
I know what I feel,
So shout it like that,
Shout it like this.
Listen up everybody knows,
But you.
Sam pulled me up as Charlie shifted my seat to the middle of the room. Kurt softly pushed me back down. If I didn't know any better, they all planned this.
Here it goes
Finn got down on one knee right in front of me. My look of complete surprise melted into admiration. This was by far the sweetest thing he has done in front of our friends. I flashed him my brightest smile.
Cause I never really noticed,
Took awhile for me to see.
Playing back the moments,
Now I'm starting to believe.
That you could be at the show & know everyone,
But it's you that makes me sing.
And I may not know where we are but I know who I am,
Baby, I'm your biggest fan. Ohhhh
I'm your biggest fan.
Charlie influenced Finn to continue by cheering. Puck was whooping as well.
Every time you smile for me,
It takes me awhile to pull myself back,
Cause you're all that
& I just had to let you know,
That I'm screaming out in the crowd for you.
I can't be too loud, cause I don't care, that they all stare.
I just want everyone to know the truth,
It's only you.
Finn leaned forward and I copied his action. Our foreheads touched at that moment as he continued to sing. He passed the guitar to Sam, who continued to play while Finn took my hands and pulled me out of the seat.
I never really noticed,
Took a while for me to see. A while for me to see
I'm playing back the moments,
& I'm starting to believe. Starting to believe.
That you could be at the show & know everyone,
But it's you that makes me sing.
He lifted me up in a twirl and I laughed at his action. I stepped up on the seat when he lent me his hand.
And I may not know where we are but I know who I am,
Baby, I'm your biggest fan. Ooooh
Baby, I'm your biggest fan. Ooooh
I gently jumped off the seat as he caught me bridal style. He twirled me around once more which made me throw my head back in happiness and laugher. He placed me down and I moved my seat back between Charlie and Sam and sat down. Sam handed the guitar so he could conclude the beautiful song.
Cause you can be at the show & know everyone,
But it's you that makes me sing.
And I may not know where we are but I know who I am,
Baby, I'm your biggest fan.
Everyone clapped but I stood up to give him a well-deserved standing ovation. Just when I thought I couldn't love Finn Hudson anymore than I do now, he proves my inaccuracy by these constant surprises.
So what do you think? Good? Bad? Review please? Until next time ^_^
