Sorry, but this is basically them all singing a song each, to try and help them cope with what has just happened. Sam will be coming into it soon.

Chapter two - Piece of my heart.

Kurt's POV.

It took us the better part of an hour to find a room with a CD player, that was both, away from patients and in a rather deserted area. Not surprisingly, Rachel had her vast collection of backing track CD's with her. I took them from her and browsed through them. Instantly I saw the song I wanted to sing. I took the CD from its cased and gently popped it into place in the player.

A country beat rang through the room, and I was glad to hear that it was the Faith Hill version. Once my cue came along, I started singing, pouring as much emotion into the words as I possibly could.

Didn`t I make you feel

Like you were the only man?

Didn't I give you everything

That a woman possibly can?

Each time I tell myself

i think i've had enough

well i'm gonna show you baby

that a woman can be tough

Come on, come on, come on and

Take it

Take another little piece of my heart now baby

Take another little piece of my heart

I know you will

Break it

Break another little piece of my heart now baby

cause you know you got it

If it makes you feel good

so good

You're out on the street lookin' good

Baby deep down in your heart

you know that it ain't right

No you'll never hear me cryin

you know i cry all the time

Each time I tell myself that I can't stand the pain

You hold me in your arms

and I start singin once again

Come on, come on, come on and

take it

Take another little piece of my heart now baby

Take another little piece of my heart

i know you will

Break it

Break another little piece of my heart now baby

cause you know you got it

If it makes you feel good

so good

each time i tell myself

that i can't stand the pain

you hold me in your arms

and i start singin once again

so Come on, come on, come on and take it

Take another little piece of my heart now baby

won't you just take it

Take another little piece of my heart

i know you will

and you will break it

Break another little piece of my heart now baby

If it makes you feel good

break another little piece of my heart my heart my heart my heart my heart.

When the music faded out I stopped singing, and saw Rachel and Mercedes open mouthed at my rendition.

"Kurt, that was fantastic," proclaimed Rachel, hugging me tightly. "Cedes, do you want to go next?"

"Sure," replied Mercedes.

Mercedes POV.

I have to admire Rachel, I know she can be unbearably annoying at times, but it is the moment like these where she truly shines. I walked to the bed where Kurt had left the vast array of CD's and looked through them. I saw one, that wasn't the most fitting, but I thought I'd sing it, to show Rachel and Kurt I know how they feel.

I strode to the CD player and changed the CD's. When I pressed play I heard Kurt gasp in sad delight behind me. The piano tune sung through the room and I began to sing.

You're everything I thought you never were

And nothing like I thought you could've been

But still you live inside of me

So tell me how is that?

You're the only one I wish I could forget

The only one I'd love enough to not forgive

And though you break my heart, you're the only one

And though there are times when I hate you

Cause I can't erase

The times that you hurt me

And put tears on my face

And even now while I hate you

It pains me to say

I know I'll be there at the end of the day

I don't wanna be without you babe

I don't want a broken heart

Don't wanna take a breath with out you babe

I don't wanna play that part

I know that I love you

But let me just say

I don't want to love you in no kind of way no no

I don't want a broken heart

And I don't wanna play the broken-hearted girl...No...No

No broken-hearted girl

I'm no broken-hearted girl

Something that I feel I need to say

But up to now I've always been afraid

That you would never come around

And still I want to put this out

You say you've got the most respect for me

But sometimes I feel you're not deserving me

And still you're in my heart

But you're the only one and yes

There are times when I hate you

But I don't complain

Cause I've been afraid that you would've walk away

Oh but now I don't hate you

I'm happy to say

That I will be there at the end of the day

I don't wanna be without you babe

I don't want a broken heart

Don't wanna take a breath with out you babe

I don't wanna play that part

I know that I love you

But let me just say

I don't want to love you in no kind of way no no

I don't want a broken heart

And I don't wanna play the broken-hearted girl...No…No

No broken-hearted girl

Now I'm at a place I thought I'd never be…Oooo

I'm living in a world that's all about you and me…yeah

Ain't gotta be afraid my broken heart is free

To spread my wings and fly away

Away With you

yeah yeah yeah, ohh ohh ohh

I don't wanna be without my baby

I don't wanna a broken heart

Don't want to take a breath with out my baby

I don't wanna play that part

I know that I love you

But let me just say

I don't want to love you in no kind of way..No..No

I don't want a broken heart

I don't wanna play the broken-hearted girl..No..No..

No broken-hearted girl

Broken-hearted girl No…no…

No broken-hearted girl

No broken-hearted girl.

The music cut out and I stopped. Rachel was the first to speak. I turned to her and she had tears streaming down her tanned face. "Mercedes, you truly are amazing. You almost sang it better than Beyoncé herself."

I walked to the petite Jewish girl and hugged her tightly. Rachel very rarely gave praise, but this made Mercedes feel a compassion towards the tiny diva like never before.

"Your turn my dear," I said sweetly.

Rachel's POV.

The mood was more sombre than ever, I could barely stand it. I wanted to sing something uplifting, but it would be unfitting to the situation. "This song has always held a place in my heart, and I think it's the most fitting song, other than the songs that you guys have already sung."

"Go for it, Girl" said Kurt sadly.

I'm so tired of being here

Suppressed by all my childish fears

And if you have to leave

I wish that you would just leave

Because your presence still lingers here

And it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal

This pain is just too real

There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears

When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears

And I've held your hand through all of these years

But you still have all of me

By this stage I could feel the tears stinging my eyes, I opened them and saw Mercedes and kurt freely sobbing too.

You used to captivate me

by your resonating light

But now I'm bound by the life you left behind

Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams

Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me

These wounds won't seem to heal

This pain is just too real

There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears

When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears

And I've held your hand through all of these years

But you still have all of me

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone

But though you're still with me

I've been alone all along

These wounds won't seem to heal

This pain is just too real

There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears

When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears

And I've held your hand through all of these years

But you still have all of me.

I stopped singing and collapsed on the bed, feeling to drained to go on, Mercedes and Kurt joined me.

"Rachel you have no idea how stunning that was," Kurt said.

"Y - Yeah Rachel, you should be proud of yourself," agreed Mercedes, chocking back her tears.

"Thanks guys, you have no idea how great if feels to have someone here to talk to right now,"

"I know, Rachel, if it wasn't for Mercedes, I don't know what I'd be doing right now," sobbed Kurt.
