Rachel was running down the hallway with the four boys following close behind. They were all laughing and acting like little kids. As far as they were concerned, nothing could stop them...until Rachel suddenly stopped with a look of panic.
"Rach, what is it?" Sam asked, unaware that they were only a few feet away from the choir room, where some of Rachel's worst tormenters were.
"Um, nothing," Rachel said.
"Rach," Puck said in a disbelieving tone.
"Seriously, guys. Nothing's wrong. Let's just get to glee," Rachel said in an urgent tone.
"Fine," Mike agreed. "Besides, we have to make things right again."
"What do you mean?" Rachel asked.
"You'll see," Matt said.
Rachel rolled her eyes. When they walked into the choir room, it was chaos. Finn, Quinn, Santana, and Mercedes were taped to their chairs, Mercedes and Kurt, and Santana and Brittany were having a shouting match, while Tina and Artie were glaring at the four victims. Mr. Schue was nowhere to be seen. "Hey!" Sam yelled. Everyone looked over at the five. " What's going on here?" Everyone started talking at once. "Kurt, talk!"
Everyone shut up and let Kurt talk," Well, once you guys left to find Rachel it became a mad house," Kurt explained. "Finn and Quinn started making out so Tine and Artie pulled them apart and taped them to their chains. Then Brittany started yelling at Santana and taped her to the chair." So far Santana, Finn, and Quinn were giving Kurt the evil eye, while Brittany looked proud of herself. "Then I decided to give Mercedes a lecture on having forty slushies thrown at them. Then you showed up."
"What happened to Mr. Schue?" Puck asked.
"He must've gone to Miss. Pillsbury's office," Kurt answered.
Just then Mr. Schue showed up, " So who has a song to sing today?"
Everyone rolled their eyes, but Matt raised him hand, " Mike, Sam, Puck, and I have a song to sing."
"That's great, guys!" Mr. Schue exclaimed. "First, I need someone to untie Finn, Quinn, Mercedes, and Santana." Nobody moved. "Fine, then. Kurt and Tina, untie them."
"Why us?" They asked.
"Because I said so, " Mr. Schue said. "Now go!"
Kurt and Tina went to unwillingly untie the four, grumbling and moaning, while the others looked on in amusement. " Just when I thought that most of us grew up, this happened," Rachel whispered in Sam's ear. He grinned and nodded.
Once Kurt and Tina got done- minimal swearing involved- everyone sat down, trying to stay away from the evil quartet. "Okay, now that everyone is comfy...or as comfy as can be, let's give it up for Puck, Mike, Matt, and Sam!" Mr. Schue announced.
Everyone clapped, some halfheartedly*cough* Santana, Finn, Quinn, and Mercedes*cough*. Once the boys were standing in the front of the room, Mike spoke up, " So, today we have two songs that we are going to perform, but first we just wanna say 'Babe, we know you pushed us away in freshman year, especially after Sam moved, but we want the old you back." Everyone looked really confused, except for Rachel. She smiled when she heard the music of her favorite band start playing.
Mike, Matt, Sam, Puck, All
Let me know that I've done wrong
When I've known this all along
I go around a time or two
Just to waste my time with you
Tell me all that you've thrown away
Find out games you don't wanna play
You are the only one that needs to know
I'll keep you my dirty little secret
(My dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
(Just another regret, hope that you can keep it)
My dirty little secret
Who has to know?
When we live such fragile lives
It's the best way we survive
I go around a time or two
Just to waste my time with you
Tell me all that you've thrown away
Find out games you don't wanna play
You are the only one that needs to know
I'll keep you my dirty little secret
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
(Just another regret, hope that you can keep it)
My dirty little secret
Who has to know know?
The way she feels inside
(Inside)
Those thoughts I can't deny
(Deny)
Those sleeping dogs won't lie
(Won't lie)
And now I try to lie
It's eating me apart
Trace this life back
I'll keep you my dirty little secret
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
(Just another regret)
I'll keep you my dirty little secret
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
(Just another regret, hope that you can keep it)
My dirty little secret
Dirty little secret
Dirty little secret
Who has to know?
Who has to know?
Once they hit the last note everyone cheered. They didn't know why they sang it, but loved it anyway. Rachel looked like she was going to run up there, but Puck announced, "We have another song. It's for the same person...so, yeah. Here we go."
Hey, don't write yourself off yet
It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on
Just try your best, try everything you can
And don't worry about what they tell themselves , when you're away
It just takes some time
Little girl you're in the middle of the ride
Everything, everything will be just fine
Everything, everything will be just alright, alright
Hey, you know they're all the same
You know you're doing better on your own, so don't buy in
Live right now, yeah, just be yourself
It doesn't matter if it's good enough for someone else
It just takes some time
Little girl you're in the middle of the ride
Everything, everything will be just fine
Everything, everything will be alright, alright
It just takes some time
Little girl you're in the middle of the ride
Everything, everything will be just fine
Everything,everything will be alright, alright
Hey, don't write yourself off yet
It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on
Just do your best, try everything you can
It doesn't matter what those bitter hearts are gonna say
It just takes some time
Little girl you're in the middle of the ride
Everything, everything will be just fine
Everything, everything will be alright, alright
It just takes some time
Little girl you're in the middle of the ride
Everything, everything will be just fine
Everything, everything will be alright, alright
Now everyone was on their feet, cheering for the four boys. "That was goddamn awesome, but who was it for?" Quinn asked.
"Guess," Puck said. He glanced at Rachel. She smiled and rolled her eyes. This will be amusing.
"So, obviously you guys don't count," Brittany started," I also highly doubt that you are singing to one of the other guys, I know it's not me and I also know who it is."
Rachel smiled. Of course Brittany would know who it would be four. She was part of the group too.
Everyone stared at Brittany. "What?"
"Brittany, I liked your explanation," Matt said. "I also knew that you knew who it was for so no telling." Brittany nodded and smiled.
"Mercedes and I know that it's not for us," Tina said.
"Then it's between Santana and Quinn," Artie said. The four boys and Brittany started glaring. Rachel looked like she was gonna cry at being so easily forgotten.
"But it's not for me," Santana said.
"Me either," Quinn added.
"I think you guys are forgetting someone," Matt said.
"But we named everyone," Artie said.
"Actually, no you didn't," Mike said. " Look behind you."
"Everyone turned and looked at Rachel, who smiled sarcastically and waved. " You guys sang to ManHands?" Santana asked.
"Well, yeah, she happens to be out best friend. Along with Brittany," Sam answered.
"Since when?" Quinn asked.
"Since we were like three or four," Matt answered
"How is that possible?" Tina questioned. " Sam moved her this year."
"I moved BACK this year," Sam corrected.
"Wait, what?" Quinn exclaimed.
"I lived here until eighth grade," Sam explained. "Don't you guys remember? That's when Rachel, Mike, Matt, Brittany, and Puck transferred here."
"Yeah, it was, but I don't remember the guys or Brittany hanging out with Rachel," Finn said.
"Believe me," Mike started, "We wanted too. But things changed. Rach and Britt used to be our best friends." Everyone gawked at the two girls. " I would go on but it's not my story to tell. We don't even know the full story."
"Then who does?" Tina asked.
"Rachel," Mike, Matt, Puck, Sam, and Brittany answered.
Everyone looked over at Rachel. "Fine, fine," Rachel started, "I'll tell you my side of the story." She and Brittany walked over to go sit by the four boys. "So, it all started out in preschool. Mike, Matt, Sam, Noah, Britt, and I went to a preschool in Shawnee. Noah, Mike, and I were neighbors so we already knew each other but Matt, Sam, and Britt...they joined the club we already had. The six of us were the best of friends. All six of us would go to each others houses and just hang out. It was that way up to eighth grade. Sam moved. At that time Sam and I had been dating and I, well, let's just say I didn't respond to that very well."
"Are you kidding?" Mike asked. "You were like a zombie."
"Ha ha," Rachel said sarcastically.
"Wait a minute," Quinn interrupted, "Do you and Sam still have feeling for each other?'
"Nope," Sam answered. "We talked it over and decided that it was over between us."
"Well, anyway," Rachel continued, "After Sam moved, I kinda lost it. I changed my image. I became 'Little Miss Diva'. I'm usually more of a tom boy. I actually don't really like Broadway," Kurt gasped. "I like 'The Script', 'All American Rejects', and 'Plain White T's. I also don't really mind some 'Jimmy Eat World'. Hell, if I wanted to I could've been on the Cheerio's. I saw the disappointment in Noah, Mike, Matt, and Britt's eyes' when they saw me but I was still kinda coping. So anyway, I became the complete opposite of who I really was. I was planning on doing this for the rest of high school. Then Sam moved back. I was really excited. When Sam saw me, I could see the disappointment all over his face. So with that, I think it's safe to say that the Silly Six is back!" Rachel finished.
"Um, what's the Silly Six?" Artie asked.
"That's what our parents used to call the six of us when we were younger," Puck answered.
"The good old day," Sam said dreamily.
"Yeah, they were the best," Puck agreed.
"Wait, wait, wait," Santana started, "Then why did Puck slushie Rachel?"
"I'm not very proud of that fact," Puck stated. "I only did it because she told me too."
"Wait, what?" Everybody looked at Rachel.
She sighed. "Yes, I told Noah to slushie me."
"Why, Rach?" Sam asked.
"Noah was losing popularity and I knew how much a good reputation meant to him. He wasn't even going to slushie me until Karofsky walked by when Noah was trying to talk to me and hit the cup so the slushie spilled all over my face," Rachel explained. Everyone looked at her in horror. "What?"
"It's just that you've been though so much in the past couple of years and no one has been there for you and you went through it all alone," Santana said, "Even if people wanted to help you pushed them away. That's something I'd never be able to do."
"Um, wow, thanks, Santana," Rachel said in a surprised way.
"No, problem, Berry. Just don't expect any other stuff like this from me. Oh, and I'm sorry about earlier, it wasn't my idea and I don't know why I did-"
"Santana!" Rachel yelled. "You can go on a longer speech than I can." Santana blushed.
"Well, I think that wraps up today's rehearsal," Mr. Schue said. Everyone looked at him in surprise. They totally forgot that he was in the room. Everyone left in groups. Quinn, Finn, and Kurt. Artie, Tina, and Mercedes. Then Santana, Rachel, Mike, Matt, Sam, Brittany, and Puck. The last group went out just catching up.
"So, Britt, how are Max and Amy?"
"Oh, they're good. They do miss their other sister though."
"Well, I'll be around later tonight."
"Where do you have to go, Rach?" Mike asked.
"Ummm, I have to go to the...I can't do it!" Rachel exclaimed.
Matt led her away further down the hall. "C'mon, babe, you can tell me. Remember? I'm like your twin."
"I know, Matt!" Rachel sighed. "It's just to much to handle though."
"Well, just tell me. Then all of us can help you." Matt comforted.
"My daddy is in the hospital," Rachel choked out. She then grasped onto Matt and started sobbing while he looked back at the four teens who were looking concernedly at the pair.
Well, here it was in all of it's glory. I'm sorry it took so long but I have to get my grades up for science and I only have a limited amount of time on the computer. Please review because I was shocked at how many people liked this story before. ~Demigirl606.
