I like this chapter A LOT better than the last! Enjoy! I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING EXCEPT AUDREY, HAYLEY, THE TWO FOOTBALL PLAYERS, AND LINDSAY!
"God why am I so nervous? I'm never nervous." Audrey said as she sat on the stool at the kitchen island eating her cereal. "Don't be nervous sweetie. You'll do great. You always do." Rachel said to her daughter, trying to reassure her. "I don't know Mom. From what you and Dad told me, it seems like a death threat to go there." "It's not that bad Audrey. Sure there are cliques and bullies, but other than that it's a great school," Finn said.
"The bus is going to be here soon, you better get going," he added. Audrey dreaded the idea of going on the bus. "Alright, see ya," Audrey said with doubt, grabbing her school bag and heading towards the door. "Audrey wait." Rachel said before Audrey left. "Yeah?" Audrey asked. "You'll do great. I know you will." Rachel said putting her daughter's hair behind her ear. Audrey hugged her tight. "Thanks Mom." Audrey said letting go and heading out the door.
When Audrey got on the bus, she noticed Hayley sitting in a seat alone. "Hey Audrey." Hayley said getting Audrey's attention. Audrey was happy that she already had a friend. "Hey Hayley! At least I already know someone." Audrey said sitting down. "Yeah." Hayley said back. "Have you decided if you're going to audition for glee club?" "Yeah probably tomorrow." "That's great. The more people the better!" Hayley said.
Soon, the bus pulled in front of William McKinley High School. As both girls entered the school, Audrey saw a lot of students, slamming lockers, some cussing. Typical high school stuff that Audrey wasn't used to. Her private school was very quiet and everyone behaved, and did as they were told.
It wasn't long before Hayley got her morning slushy in the hallway. "Ha-ha!" the football player said. Everyone was laughing at Hayley. She began to cry a little. "Are you ok?" Audrey asked. "No, it's burning my eyes." Audrey hated seeing Hayley like this. She was going to do something that she might regret later.
"What's wrong with you?" Audrey said to the football player. The one beside him also turned around with another slushy in hand.
"Who are you?"
"Audrey Hudson. Now what gives you the right to slushy my friend?" Audrey asked.
Both football players laughed. "Because she's a glee loser. She deserves it." The one football player said.
Audrey was not as determined as she was before. He was way taller than her; then again Audrey got her height from her Mom. But then she knew exactly what to do. Audrey snatched the slushy from the one football players hand and threw the slushy on him. There were gasps around the hallway, all eyes on Audrey.
"Well you're a bully so I guess you deserve it." Audrey said as she walked away leading Hayley into the bathroom.
Audrey helped clean Hayley off. "You didn't have to do that you know?" Hayley said. "I know, but I stick up for my friends." Audrey said. Hayley smiled and gave the brunette a hug. "Thank you." Hayley responded.

After school the next day, Hayley led Audrey to the choir room. "Mr. Shue, we have someone who would like to audition for glee club." Hayley said. "That's great. What's your…Rachel?" Mr. Shue said confused. "That's my Moms name. I'm Audrey Hudson," she said holding out her hand. Mr. Shue shook Audrey's hand, He automatically knew who her parents were. "You look so much like your mother." Mr. Shue said to Audrey. "Thank you," Audrey responded.
"Is your Mom Rachel Hudson? The Broadway star?" one of the girls asked.
"Yeah, she is." Audrey said back.
Some of the glee club members started to whisper to each other. Audrey knew that people would find out who her Mom was sooner or later. "We don't need any other members Mr. Shue, We're perfectly fine with fifteen members," said one of the girls. "But that's an odd number Lindsay, and besides glee welcomes anyone who wants to join."
All of the glee members sat in the auditorium seats and watched the small brunette make her way to the stage. "You can start Audrey," said Mr. Shue. "I'll be singing How Do I Live by LeAnn Rimes." This song is hard to sing but Audrey knew that she could pull it off.
How do I get through one night without you?
If I had to live without you
What kind of life would that be?
Oh, I, I need you in my arms, need you to hold
You're my world, my heart, my soul and if you ever leave
Baby you would take away everything good in my life
And tell me now
How do I live without you? I want to know
How do I breathe without you if you ever go?
How do I ever, ever survive?
How do I, how do I, oh, how do I live?
Without you there'd be no sun in my sky
There would be no love in my life
There'd be no world left for me
And I, baby, I don't know what I would do
I'd be lost if I lost you, if you ever leave
Baby, you would take away everything real in my life
And tell me now
How do I live without you? I want to know
How do I breathe without you if you ever go?
How do I ever, ever survive?
How do I, how do I, oh, how do I live?
Please, tell me, baby
How do I go on if you ever leave?
Baby, you would take away everything, I need you with me
Baby, don't you know that you're everything good in my life?
And tell me now
How do I live without you? I want to know
How do I breathe without you if you ever go
How do I ever, ever survive?
How do I, how do I, oh, how do I live?
How do I live without you?
How do I live without you, baby?
How do I live?
When Audrey finished, she noticed that everyone was stunned. Everyone soon applauded except for Lindsay. "If it isn't obvious, you're in!" Mr. Shue said. Audrey smiled at the response.
Audrey headed to her locker along with Hayley. "Audrey, that was amazing! Where did you learn to sing like that?" Hayley asked. "Thanks! I was introduced to music when I was little and my Mom gives me voice lessons so that helps." "Well it must if you have pipes like that! Did you see Lindsay's face, she was so mad! She's like the star of glee club, but not anymore!"Hayley said and Audrey laughed.
After she put her books in her locker, she made and Hayley both made their way to the buses. Audrey was then hit in the face with a blueberry slushy. "Welcome to glee club, loser!" said the same football player who Audrey slushied the other day. Audrey began to tear up all she wanted was to go home.
Rachel and Finn were relaxing on the couch watching some TV. They both noticed Audrey coming through the door. The blueberry slushy remains dripping on the floor. "Oh my god Audrey. What happened?" Finn asked as he got up from the couch and running towards her, and Rachel followed. "What do you think happened Dad? I got slushied for being a glee loser. Please just help me, my eyes are burning." Audrey said going towards the kitchen. Finn got a wet towel, and handed it to Rachel, who began to clean off the remains of slushy off her daughters face. "So what happened?" Rachel asked. Finn stood behind Rachel and listened.
"Well yesterday morning Hayley got slushied by one of the football players and I stood up to him. I snatched the slushy from the other football players hand and I threw the slushy at the one who slushied Hayley. So today I got my first. I shouldn't have done it. It was a stupid move." Audrey began to cry lowering her head. "Hey, look at me." Rachel said tilting Audrey's head back up.
"You did something that I was so afraid to do, your Dad too. And we're so proud of you for standing up to them. Just don't get in a physical fight ok?" Rachel said to her. Audrey smiled and laughed. "Ok." Audrey responded. Rachel smiled, "Good." "So you got into glee club?" Finn asked. "Oh yeah that's right I did. Everyone loved my audition." Finn and Rachel both smiled at each other. "I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree," said Finn.
"Oh and Mr. Shue thought I was you, Mom," Audrey said as both of them laughed a little.
Audrey hugged both of her parents. "What was that for?" Finn asked.
"For always being there for me."
More Audrey and Rachel moments. I really wanted to show the bond between these two because Rachel never had that with her Mom. So I wanted for her to have that bond between her and Audrey. Don't worry there is a sweet Finn and Audrey moment in the next chapter!
