Okay! I hope you like this chapter, because I know I had fun writing it. :) It's short, and I apologize for any mistakes.
Also, I don't own Glee, or Take Me Home, Country Roads by John Denver.
ENJOY! :)
Once the fireworks ended, we all sat around the bonfire that I had had Noah set up in the backyard, and told stories. Santana started.
"My favorite memory of high school has to be Senior Prom." She laughed when Blaine groaned. She turned to me. "Brittany made the theme for the dance 'Dinosaurs', and decided that since the cavemen didn't have hair gel, that no one was allowed to wear hair gel to her dance." At that, everyone else started laughing. "Poor Blaine, we had never seen him without a ton of product in his hair. It was amazing." Blaine rolled his eyes.
"It was NOT funny. I did not approve of that stupid rule! Even Brittany had decided that it was cruel and not fair, and she told me that I could put my gel back in, and I was about to do just that, when Kurt wouldn't let me!" Kurt leaned over and kissed his boyfriend on the cheek.
"He looked so upset, but he was so cute without all the product in his hair!" I couldn't help but laugh, mostly cause even right now, Blaine had like a gallon of gel in his hair, and I couldn't even imagine what he looked like without it. Blaine just shook his head.
"My favorite memory was Nationals." When he said that, everyone smiled hugely. Blaine leaned towards me. "We had been trying to win for three years. The first year, we didn't even make it past Regionals. The second year, we made it all the way to Nationals, but we came in twelfth. We were devastated. Then we were even more determined to win, because we had something to prove. We took Nationals senior year with Paradise by the Dashboard Lights, It's All Coming Back to Me Now, and Edge of Glory. We walked back into Mckinley with our heads held high. We were the big dogs for the last few weeks of school." Everyone seemed to be reminiscing. I smiled. Everyone looked at me, and I just smiled.
"I don't really have any fond memories of high school. But I remember my first day on Broadway like it was yesterday. I had auditioned and gotten the part of Belle in Beauty and the Beast. I walked onto that stage, and it felt like I was coming home."
I walked out onto the stage, and couldn't suppress a little jump and clap moment. I had made it! I was here, finally! It felt so much like coming home, that I teared up. I shook it off, and walked down towards the front of the stage, and looked out over the sets. I looked around, and I noticed I was completely alone. I opened my mouth, and started to sing before I had even made the conscious decision to.
"Take Me Home, Country Roads
Almost heaven, West Virginia,
Blue Ridge Mountain, Shanandoa River,
Life is old there, older than the trees,
Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze
Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong,
West Virginia,
Mountain mamma,
Take me home
Country roads
All my memories, gather round her
Modest lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong,
West Virginia,
Mountain Mamma, take me home
To the country roads
I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me
Radio reminds me of my home far away
Driving down the road I get a feeling
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday
Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong,
West Virginia,
Mountain Mamma, take me home
Country roads
Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong,
West Virginia,
Mountain Mamma, take me home
To the country roads
Take me home, that country road
Take me home, that country road"
"When I was done, there was deafening applause. I thought it was in my head, but I hadn't realized it, but while I had been singing, the rest of the cast and crew had come in and sat down. That's where I met Lea and Amanda." I smiled at the two girls, who smiled back.
"She had the most beautiful voice I had ever heard. I was completely amazed." Lea said, smiling at me. I smiled back, then noticed the clock. It was 2am!
"Oh my god, guys, we have been here forever. Its two in the morning!" Everyone just laughed at me, but they all stood up to say goodbye anyway. I hugged each person as they were leaving, and Santana kissed me on my cheek, making me smile. Lea, Amanda and Rory had already gone to bed, and I walked into the kitchen to make some tea. I heard someone clear their throat, and my heart jumped into my mouth. I spun around and prepared to scream, when a hand covered my mouth.
"Shhhhh, don't scream babe. Its just me." When I heard his voice, I immediately relaxed, then got angry. I smacked him on his chest, and he let go of me.
"Noah Puckerman! What is the matter with you?" I hissed in a whisper. He just smirked at me.
"Why are we whispering?" He whispered back at me, laughing. When I just rolled my eyes, and turned away from him, he laughed harder and went back to his normal voice.
"I stayed out back to put the fire out, Berry. I didn't think you would want something to happen. I figured you would notice when you didn't have to say goodbye to me." Him saying that reminded me that I hadn't even noticed that he hadn't left. I blushed, and when I turned to face him, he saw it.
"You forgot about me didn't you? Im hurt, Berry. Very hurt." He put his hand on his heart, and faked crying, which made my blush disappear, and me roll my eyes. He laughed, and then he got serious. He walked towards me slowly, and I started backing up. Every two steps I took were equal to one of his. When I hit the sink, my eyes got wide, and he kept coming. Finally he was pressed against me. He looked down at me, and then just stood there. My arousal from earlier came back, and I found myself staring at his lips. My eyes flicked up to his, and I saw him smirk, catching me staring at him. He lowered his head, and when there was an inch left, and I thought my heart was going to burst out of my chest, he stopped. His eyes bored into mine, asking if it was ok. When I didn't push him away, he slanted his lips over mine.
All thought stopped. I had never been kissed the way Noah was currently kissing me, and I wasn't sure if I wanted him to stop. My hands slid up from where they had been resting on his chest, (When did I put them there?)and curled around his neck. I felt his hands go around my waist, before one slid up and carded through my hair. He pulled lightly to tilt my head so he could deepen the kiss, and I couldn't help but moan into his mouth. I felt him smirk against me, and move his other hand up my side. Before he could get to where he was going, we both heard a stair creak. We jumped apart like two guilty teens, and Noah cleared his throat, still smirking.
"Fire's out, Berry. I'm heading home. I'll talk to you tomorrow." With that, he left. Rory poked his head into the kitchen after Noah had left and smiled sheepishly.
"Sorry if I interrupted anything, I was just getting my cell phone." And I heard him go back upstairs. I finished what I had been doing in the kitchen, then walked into my room, got ready for bed, and laid down. Once I was in bed, I pressed my fingers to my lips. Noah's words from earlier came back to me. 'Fire's out, Berry.' Out? I disagree. The fire had just started, and I knew that if I wanted to, I would get burned.
First Kiss! : D I hope I did it ok! Remeber to review guys! Thanks!
