Hi! Here's another chapter to this story! I'm sorry that the chapters are short, this one is a little longer because it goes into Cecilia's back story. I tend not to write really long chapters.

I'm a bit nervous with posting this one because Cecilia's back story is true, I went through the same thing my sophomore-junior year and didn't get over it until a month ago, when I started watching Glee. That's the main reason why I'm writing this story. I've finally moved on with my life and it was because Glee (specifically Artie/Kevin). So, I hope you enjoy this chapter!

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN GLEE

With Cecilia being in the Glee Club for two weeks now, and the play at the end of the week, everything seemed to be okay. She was participating during the Glee rehearsals, singing back up, but it was a start. She had been a bit more peppy and happy, as Artie has heard from the rest of stage crew. Very different from the quiet, shy girl she was in the beginning, she was now a happy, friendly girl who loved the jump around and sing with her new friends. She was almost like a little kid.

Though, one day, on a Friday afternoon, Artie, Cecilia, Kurt, Blaine, Rachel and Finn, were at Breadstix for dinner.

"So Cecilia, you enjoying the Glee Club?" Blaine asked as he took a sip of his soda.

She nodded with a giggle. "It has to be the most fun thing I've ever done."

"And you are amazing, you have a lot of energy." Kurt complemented as she blushed.

"By the way, where did you live before?" It was Rachel who brought it up.

"Connecticut."

"Whoa, that's far." Finn whistled in awe.

"Why did you move here?" Artie asked, but upon hearing the question, the light in her eyes dulled a bit as she looked down. Then Artie said. "A-are you okay?"

She looked up and scanned everyone as she pulled on a smile. "Um, sorry, yeah, I, uh, I moved here because I didn't really like it at my old school, so I moved here to my Aunt's house." Her heart began to speed up. "Um, sorry, I have to go. Dinner was good! See ya tomorrow." She got up, paid for her dinner and ran off.

"What was that about?" Rachel questioned.

"I've noticed that when she's asked about her old town, she gets all nervous or sad." Artie informed, looking down at his empty plate.

"Maybe we should do a little digging." Kurt suggested scandalously.

"Wouldn't that be an invasion of privacy?" Finn asked innocently.

"It's for the good of Cecilia, once we understand more about her, we'll be able to be closer together as friends." Rachel reasoned with her boyfriend in a tone that suggested she was speaking to a child.

"Artie, you're good at that kind of thing, can you find some info?" Kurt asked, when the wheelchair bound boy looked a bit concerned for a moment. Noticing it, Kurt continued, "Come on, Artie, you obviously like her and we're doing this because we're all worried about her."

He sighed. "Okay, she's told me about her best friend, I can contact her and see what I can find."

"Great, but let's not tell her until we know what to do." Rachel said.

Everyone agreed and parted.

When Artie got home, he went onto his computer and befriended the girl who Cecilia is friends with. Within a an hour, it was confirmed and he started a conversation.

'Hello, my name is Artie, I'm friends with Cecilia.' He started off casually.

'Oh, yes, she was telling me about you, what's up?'

'Um, well, the Glee club and I are worried about her and we were wondering if you could tell us what happened with her.'

'Why would I do that?'

Artie frowned and thought for a moment, then typed, 'Because you're her friend and I'm her friend and we're both concerned for her well being.'

'You make a good point. Okay, I'll tell you, but you HAVE to promise me that you won't tell her, I love her like a sister and I want to make sure she doesn't repeat what happened here.'

'Agreed as long as you don't tell her that I contacted you.'

"Okay, so, Cecilia has always been a little shy, she and I were in Marching Band and she was the only freshman flute. Some are nice to her, but she said that she feels like their always watching her.'

'Probably made her self conscious.'

'Yeah, so she hung out with my section a lot, and she was able to get by, but she fell in love with a guy whose a senior now.'

'Really?'

'Yeah, and Cecilia really liked him, he was the first guy she ever loved and danced with, he even took her to his junior prom.'

'That must have been good.'

'Yeah, but, see, Cecilia has really bad anxiety, she gets nervous and she thought she would mess things up with this guy. She sort of has this motto to never date, but she told me that he was something special. Anyway, the guy thought they were dating when it turned out that they weren't and then a couple of months later it was the same thing except vice versa.'

'That's confusing.'

'Definitely, and I even believed it too. The two would be close together on the bus on our way to and from competitions, but when he thought something was wrong, he confronted her and to make the ending short, he said it wouldn't work. And let's just say, she didn't take it well.'

'Ouch, how was she?'

'Normal on the outside, but you could tell that she wasn't her childish and peppy self, it just seemed she was forcing it. Despite everything, she still smiled, saying everything was "okay".'

'What happened?'

'Okay, this part, you really have to keep a secret.'

'Scouts Honor.'

'Cecilia has always been a little depressed and she's tried more than once to take her life.'

'WHAT!?'

'Yeah, in middle school, she had a lot of regrets and she couldn't let things go, in high school it got worse and just when you think it was getting better, she was pushed over the edge. She just kept blaming herself for everything."

'Has she seen anyone for help?'

'Other than me, no, she said she was fine, her methods never got that far, and she made me promise not to tell. I'm the only who knows.'

'I never thought...'

'She does band and the plays because she needed to find a reason to live, but I fear it won't last... She use to watch Anime and she said it saved her life, then she said band was keeping her here, but with everything that's happened, she's only been enjoying the plays. It's like it's her last thread.'

'Don't worry, my friends and I in Glee club will help her.'

'She joined a club? Is she doing Marching Band?'

'No, but she was stage manager and yeah, she's in Glee Club, it took a while, but I got her to join. She has a really good voice.'

'Wow, I didn't even know she could sing. It sounds like she's starting to move on.'

'Yeah, so don't worry, we'll try to make her feel better.'

'Thank you, I'm glad she's found such a good friend.'

Artie smiled at the statement before the two exchanged goodbyes. When he was in bed, he thought over everything. When he was going to tell everyone tomorrow, he would have to exclude some details. The one thing she couldn't get over was that guy, Cecilia is so sweet, how could anyone reject her?

Even though she's known her for a couple of weeks, Artie had already loved her presence. She was always smiling and laughing, it didn't even seem possible for her to be depressed.

He kept thinking of ways to help her before falling into a dreamless sleep.

Hope you enjoyed it!

Question for you guys out there, how would you like see to a little angst? I would need to up the rating to T, but I have some good events that would make the story a bit more interesting.

Also, I'd like to write a little side story after this one with Cecilia, putting her in some of the episodes and seeing her reaction to what happens in those episodes, as well as adding some side stories in.

Let me know what you think!
