Chapter 14

The Glee club sits on the auditorium stage. Puck walks in, staring down at his feet. Brittany and Santana climb down off the stage and take his hand.

"Sorry I wasn't at Glee." Puck says. "I went to see Quinn. Well, tried to see Quinn. Her mom says she doesn't want to talk."

"Mr. Schue gave us an assignment. We're supposed to find songs that make you feel better in a tragedy." Rachel says. "We were going to brainstorm. Cause none of us really know what to sing." Puck nods.

"Maybe, I can help with that." Puck says. He picks up a guitar off the stage and starts to play.

And do you ever feel like you're alone?
And do you ever wish you'd be unknown?
I could say that I have..
I could say that I have..
And do you ever feel things here aren't right?
And do you ever feel the time slip by?
I can say that I have..
And I can say that I have..

So hear this please
And watch as your heart speeds up endlessly
And look for the stars as the sun goes down
Each breath that you take has a thunderous sound
Everything, everything's magic
Just sit back and hold on, but hold on tight
Prepare for the best and the fastest ride
And reach out your hand, and I'll make you mine
Everything, everything's magic

And do you ever lay awake at night?
And do you ever tell yourself don't try?
Don't try to let yourself down
Don't try to let yourself down
And do you ever see yourself in love?
And do you ever take a chance, my love?
Because you know that I will..
Because you know that I will..

So hear this please
And watch as your heart speeds up endlessly
And look for the stars as the sun goes down
Each breath that you take has a thunderous sound
Everything, everything's magic
Just sit back and hold on, but hold on tight
Prepare for the best and the fastest ride
And reach out your hand, and I'll make you mine
Everything, everything's magic
Everything, everything's magic

So hear this please
And watch as your heart speeds up endlessly
And look for the stars as the sun goes down
Each breath that you take has a thunderous sound
Everything, everything's magic
Just sit back and hold on, but hold on tight
Prepare for the best and the fastest ride
And reach out your hand, and I'll make you mine
Everything, everything's magic

A few of the kids applaud as Puck sets his guitar down. Rachel gets up and throws her arms around him in a hug. Puck forces a weak smile and returns the hug. Will and Emma watch silently from the back of the auditorium, not visible in the darkness.

A/N: The song is "Everything's Magic" by Angels & Airwaves. I listen to it personally when I'm going through tough times. I'm open to suggestions for the other songs though.

Disclaimer: I do not own Glee or the song. Just so you know.
