Hi guys, if you haven't heard, Cory Monteith was found dead in a hotel in Vancouver a week ago today after a drug overdose. May he rest in peace x
So this is the chapter when the new theme is revealed! Exciting! I am going to be trying to get this theme done the best that I can before I go on Holidaynext Saturday, as there's no internet connection there. Hope you enjoy this chapter! And like I said, RIP Cory Monteith, we all love you dearly. x
Pierce wakes up on the couch and stretches out his arms before feeling a weight sink into his chest. He looks down, his gaze softening when he sees Jaia's small body curled up next to him. Even when her cheeks were stained with dribbles of black mascara and her hair was tossled, she still looked beautiful to him. Pierce touched his lips and recalled what had happened the night before, a pang of guilt setting in.
Jenna's gone.
"Mornin' guys" Chesney greets sadly as she enters the room, plopping her toast into the toaster. Everyone mumbles a reply, stifling their happiness for surviving another week. In her mind, the girl was convinced Jenna would go all the way.
And I'm still here... She thinks, baffled by the prospect. The toast pops out of the toaster and Chesney grabs it, quickly spreading butter on it before settling down next to Penny on the couch. She notices the dark circles under Penny's eyes and gives her a questioning look, which she replies to with a casual shrug. Just as she's about to ask questions, the entrance to the house opens and Robert lets himself in through the red door. A buzz goes round the room and everyone sits up a little bit straighter. Robert smiles to himself, passing his clipboard into his other hand before planting his feet into the rug on the floor.
"Hi guys, so... week three. I can tell you now, it won't need easy. For this week, you'll need three things: Confidence, Determination and, well, Fearlessness!" The group clap and cheer, and even Jaia perks up a bit. Robert glances down at his clipboard before continuing. "So, this is a really hard homework assignment. It is... Nutbush City Limits!" Suddenly, the boys all stop clapping and cheering, they just look scared. All the girls see their frightened reaction and laugh along with Robert.
"So, here are your lyric sheets and I can't wait to see you tomorrow with a certainly fearless glee cast member." Robert hands out the sheets with a smile before leaving the room, and everyone lets him go quietly.
"Who wants line one?" Ollie asks. Cindy sheepishly raises her hand and Ollie nods, jotting down her name on his sheet of paper. After about an hour, everyone's settled on solos and is practising, not knowing what's in store...
"How you holdin' up?" Jack asked, sitting down on Jaia's bed, wrapping an arm over her shoulder. She sighed, resting her head on his shoulder. No, she wasn't okay. She felt like her whole world had been blown to pieces, and she was just searching through the reckage to find some sense of release. But Jack was in her position, and felt the same. So was everyone else. They'd all lost a friend.
"Eh, I'll be fine" She shrugged, trying to hold back the permanent tears that hide behind her eyes.
"I understand, don't worry. We'll get through this together. We're a family now." Jack squeezes her shoulder and gets to his feet, pulling Jaia into a hug. They then both get up and go outside into the heat, feeling a little bit better now they know that someone's there to stand by them.
I know it's short, but I hope it's okay. Don't forget to review! xxxx
