Not the Same Chapter 4: The Breakup, a glee fanfic

I sat in the choir room as we waited for Mr. Schue to tell us what we were doing this week. Sam was on my left and Marley was on my right. I can't believe that I had a boyfriend. It was amazing. Probably what was more amazing was that he was quarterback. I watched as Mr. Schue wrote BREAKUP on the board.

"You want us to sing breakup songs?" I asked.

"Actually I was thinking of doing something different." He responded. "While breakup songs are an important genre of music, I want you to sing songs by groups that have broken up. Plenty of the greatest acts of all time are no longer together. They are some ground rules. Led Zeppelin and The Who don't count because they broke up because of someone's death. Guns 'N Roses does count because they while they are still together, the Axl-Slash breakup is one of music's most famous."

"I have one." Marley declared as she got up and the piano began to play.

Can this be true?
Tell me can this be real?
How can I put into words what I feel?
My life was complete
I thought I was whole
Why do I feel like I'm losing control?

Never thought that love could feel like this
Then you changed my world with just one kiss
And how can it be that right here with me?
There's an angel, it's a miracle

Your love is like a river, peaceful and deep
Your soul is like a secret I never could keep
When I look into your eyes, I know that it's true
God must've spent a little more time on you

Never thought that love could feel like this
Then you changed my world with just one kiss
And how can it be that right here with me?
There's an angel, it's a miracle

Your love is like a river, peaceful and deep
Your soul is like a secret I never could keep
When I look into your eyes, I know that it's true
God must've spent a little more time on you

"I thought Alabama was still together." Sam remarked.

"That was an *NSYNC song first." I told him. I don't think I wanted to be part of the couple that used pet names.

The bell rang and I had to think of a band that I liked that was broken up. A lot of the bands that I listened to were still together. I wasn't really a fan of Guns 'N Roses, except for "November Rain" and I don't think anyone wanted me to sing a 9-minute song. Journey was technically still together. I could do something that no one has heard of like The Last Goodnight. That was when it hit me. I knew the perfect song.

After school, I went to the center of the room and waited for the music to play. I decided that I wanted to present it as a piano ballad so people could understand the words.

Am I more than you bargained for yet?
I've been dying to tell you anything you wanna here
Cause that's just who I am this week
Lie in the grass, next to the mausoleum
I'm just a notch in your bedpost
But you're just a line in a song

Drop a heart
Break a name
We're sleeping in
Sleeping for the wrong team

We're going down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it
We're going down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it

We're going down there, down there
We're going down there, down there
A loaded god complex cock it and pull it

We're going down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it

"I never knew those words were so heavy." Artie commented. As soon as I was finished, I realized that maybe singing that song with Sugar in the room was a bad idea. I mean we hadn't spoken since I joined, but…

As soon as I walked out of the room, I noticed Sugar walking my way.

"I can't believe that you sang that song." She replied. "I hate that song."

"Not a Fall Out Boy fan?" I quipped.

"How would you feel if you had to hear a song with your name in it all the time?" She asked me.

"I don't think that there are any." I responded. "I'm sorry, but I like the song and I'm not going to apologize for singing it."

I knew that I wasn't going to sing any more songs with Sugar in the name. I wonder if Joe would have a problem with me singing "Hey Joe" by Hendrix. I then went to meet Sam, though before I could get to him, I happened to notice that Brittany was kissing a girl that I hadn't seen before. That was interesting to say the least.

I then saw him and walked over to him.

"So do you want to see a movie tonight?" He asked. The one that I wanted to see wasn't out yet.

"Sinister doesn't come out until Friday." I told him.

"Well I wanted to see Pitch Perfect." Sam explained. I had heard of that, but didn't really know what it was about. "It's about this group of college girls who sing in an a capella group."

It didn't really sound like my type of movie. I guess we didn't really a similar taste in movies. Though, I could give it a chance.

"How about we make a deal?" I offered. "I'll see the movie that you want to see if you see the movie that I want to see on Friday."

"Okay, I just want to warn you that I've been known to scream during horror movies." Sam agreed. "What do you think of the idea of a movie and dinner? We see the movie first and then we eat."

"I've never done it." I stated. "I'd be open to it, but I want to get a hamburger afterwards. Who says that we have to spend a lot on dinner, especially since movies are so expensive these days?"

"I actually know a great place that sells burgers that isn't that expensive." He declared. I would be okay with McDonalds. "Anyway, I'll see you after practice."

I decided to sit in the stands and watch the practice. I didn't really like football, but I didn't have anything better to do. I noticed that the Honey Nuts were practicing not very far from the field, well all except Brittany, who I assume was with her girlfriend.

After he was done with practice and he had taken a shower, we went to the theatre for the 5:00 show. I actually kind of liked the movie. The singing was actually really good. I didn't know that Anna Kendrick or Brittany Snow (the only ones I recognized) could sing. I did have one gripe about it.

"Beca and Jesse shouldn't have ended up together." I stated. "It should have ended with Chloe telling Beca how she felt and the two of them being the ones to kiss. It wouldn't be the first girl-on-girl kiss I saw today. Did you know Brittany was gay?"

"Yeah, her girlfriend is my ex." Sam explained. "I'm pretty sure that I was just her beard though."

"Okay, so where are we going for dinner?" I asked as we got into his truck. I was still in a good mood despite not liking the ending.

"You'll see when we get there." He promised.

Where it ended up being was a 50s-style diner. That was different. I guess if they had good burgers, I didn't care. As I walked in, I couldn't help but notice that there was a jukebox and a dancefloor. I had a bad feeling about this. We ordered our food and I couldn't help but notice him looking at the jukebox. I had a really bad feeling about this.

"I'm not dancing with you." I told him. I saw him put a quarter in anyway. I probably wouldn't like this. Though, I did like the song that he chose. I guess I should have expected him to sing it.

Well she was just seventeen, if you know what I mean
And the way she looked was way beyond compare

So how could I dance with another Woo
When I saw her standing there?

I looked at him and he looked at me, either wanting to dance or for me to join in. Apparently the other patrons liked it.

Well she looked at me, and I, I could see
That before too long, I'd fall in love with her

She wouldn't dance with another Woo
When saw her standing there

Well my heart went boom when I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine

He grabbed my hand and I couldn't resist any longer.

Well we danced through the night, and we held each other tight
And before too long, I fell in love with her

Now I'll never dance with another Woo
When I saw her standing there

Then came the instrumental section and I could tell that everyone wanted us to dance. I decided to bite the bullet and let spin me. I am doing all sorts of new things with him.

Well my heart went boom when I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine

And we danced through the night, and we held each other tight
And before too long, I fell in love with her

Now I'll never dance with another Woo
Since I saw him standing there

Since I saw her standing there

Since I saw him standing there

You know that song actually would fit the assignment that we doing. After the song was over, we found that our food also was. I blushed and sat down.

"That was pretty good." The cook behind the counter told us. "We could use some regular entertainment. How would you two like to work here?"

"I'm 15 and he plays football." I explained. The main reason that I didn't want to was that I didn't want to wear a uniform. I liked my individuality. Yes, I would probably dress up for glee, but that doesn't happen very often. I also just wanted to eat.

"I kind of already have a job anyway." Sam added. He worked part-time in this auto shop. The guy who owned it was a congressman and wasn't around very much. Apparently, working there was helping him pay for his apartment.

On Wednesday, I couldn't help but notice a lot more tension in the choir room. Blaine wasn't there and both Brittany and Mr. Schue seemed upset. I don't know what was going on to be honest.

When I walked out of the room, I couldn't help but notice that Jake and Kitty were fighting, I couldn't understand the details, but it seemed to be getting pretty heated. That could be good for Marley.

"Whatever, I'm done with this." Jake declared. "I want my jacket back now."

She threw the jacket on the ground and he picked it up and walked away. I noticed that Kitty noticed us and was glaring daggers at us, probably more specifically at Marley. It wasn't Marley's fault that she was a bitch and Jake dumped her.

"I think you should go talk to him." I suggested. "Just talk to him. Whatever you do, don't kiss him. You need to avoid the rebound. That never ends well."

Marley walked off and I couldn't help but notice Kitty was still glaring. She needs to learn that it was no one's fault but her own.

On Thursday, I went into the auditorium, and I couldn't help but notice that a guy that I hadn't seen was there by himself.

"Hey." I greeted him. He didn't say anything. "What are you doing up there?"

"Just thinking about my life." He answered.

"What's your name?" I questioned.

"Finn Hudson, yours?" He answered. Where have I heard that before?

"Charlie Fabray." I told him.

"I didn't know that Quinn had a younger sister." He responded. I guess he knew her.

"She doesn't either." I responded. "So I wanted to sing to sing something. Would you mind?"

He just moved away from the center of the stage and I began.

I took a ride on a February morning
Just getting over it and dealing with the mourning
I started thinking out loud
I'm so sick and tired of being sick and tired

My baby's flying off the edge of the road
Saying "I'm so sorry about that note"
That left me all alone
I'm so sick and tired of being sick and tired

Somebody turn the lights on
Somebody tell me what's wrong
I'd be lying if I told you
Losing you was something I could handle
Somebody turn the lights on
Somebody tell me how long
All this darkness will surround you
Because I'm burning for you
Burning like a candle

Pain, pain, pain
All of the things that you say
What are the things that you mean?
What are the things that you say, say, say?

Because you're a tragedy, a queen for his majesty
All this blasphemy, your kingdom is crumbling
You're a tragedy, a queen for his majesty
All this blasphemy, your kingdom is crumbling

So Charlie met Finn and she had an amazing date with Sam. I wanted to determine what everyone else was doing while the various couples were breaking up. The last song is "Candle (Sick and Tired) by the White Tie Affair. The next chapter, Ryder makes his debut. I'm saying now that I will not be covering Glease. The events of it will still happen, but I don't like the music. Please don't forget to review.
