A/N: Wow! I feel so special because of ya'll! Okay, so I'm doing Country this week. If you have any suggestions or ANYTHING PM me. I'm also introducing TWO new characters soon, you'll be meeting one this week. Now enjoy.
Blackness.
Was Hannah dead? Was this Heaven?
Beep. Beep. Beep.
The beeping sound irritated Hannah, but it was very familiar. She wasn't dead. She wasn't in Heaven.
She slowly opened her eyes, looking around her. A hospital. It came rushing back, everything that had happened. She had been singing. She had fainted. It was all so simple now.
She sat up and blinked her eyes. She thought about Damian, who she had sung the song to. She was surprised at how she had thrown Connor so quickly for Damian. She, surprisingly missed Connor. At that moment, the doctor walked in.
"Hello, Miss Hannah." He spoke, looking down at his clipboard. Hannah smiled in return.
"Well, your sick. You should've come sooner. Have you been feeling dizzy? Coughing? Headache? Fever?" He asked, Hannah thought of all the times she had been coughing, when she felt nauseous. She should have come sooner, instead of scaring her poor friends. They probably thought she died.
"Well, Miss Gray, you have some visitors today, I'm afraid we'll have to keep you overnight though," He said in his no-nonsense tone. He was clearly unhappy with the fact that visitors were coming in, but Hannah knew he wouldn't pick a fight with any of the guys. The group walked in, smiling faintly.
"You okay?" Daniella asked, thinking of the time when SHE, in fact, had been in the hospital.
"Yeah, I'm just sick." Hannah admitted. Sighs of relief went through the group.
Maurie walked up and smiled at her, "We decided to sing you a song." Hannah blushed and looked down.
"It's called Sarabeth by The Rascal Flatts." Damian muttered, looking down. Hannah knew this song, she sang this song to herself all summer, when she was depressed about her condition.
"Sarabeth is scared to death
To hear what the doctor will say..."
Maurie sang to Hannah.
"She hasn't been well
Since the day that she fell
And the bruise, it just won't go away..."
Daniella belted.
"So she sits and she waits with her mother and dad
Flips through an old magazine
Till the nurse with a smile
Stands at the door
And says will you please come with me..."
Damian cried out.
"Sarabeth is scared to death
Cause the doctor just told her the news..."
Audrey trilled.
"Between the red cells and white
Something's not right
But we're gonna take care of you..."
Tyler sang out.
"Between the red cells and white
Something's not right
But we're gonna take care of you..."
Toronto sang with a nod of his head. Hannah started to tear up.
"Six chances in ten it won't come back again
With the therapy were gonna try..."
Xriss trilled.
"It's just been approved
It's the strongest there is
I think we caught it in time..."
Sam sang, tearing up.
"Sarabeth closes her eyes..." Connor sang.
"And she dreams she's dancing
Around and around without any cares
And her very first love is holding her close
And the soft wind is blowing her hair..."
They all sang in unison.
"Sarabeth is scared to death
As she sits holding her mom..."
Marie trilled.
"Cause it would be a mistake
For someone to take
A girl with no hair to the prom..."
Dane belted.
"For, just this morning right there on her pillow
Was the cruelest of any surprise
And she cried when she gathered it all in her hands
The proof that she couldn't deny..."
Savannah sang.
"Sarabeth closes her eyes..." Connor belted, closing his eyes.
"And she dreams she's dancing
Around and around without any cares
And her very first love was holding her close
And the soft wind is blowing her hair..."
They all sang. Hannah started to cry, happy, but sad. They loved her, even Audrey.
"Its quarter to seven
That boys at the door..."
Maurie trilled. Connor grabbed Hannah's hand, and hesitantly, she gets up out of bed, and he places his hands on her waist.
"And her daddy ushers him in
And when he takes off his cap
They all start to cry..."
Toronto sang.
"Cause this mornin where his hair had been
Softly she touches just skin..."
Evan sang out. Connor began spinning softly, and Hannah rested her head on hi shoulder, breathing a sigh at the familar scent.
"And they go dancin
Around and around without any cares
And her very first true love is holding her close..."
They all sang. Hannah sat gentley back on the bed, and tears were streaming down her face.
"And for a moment she isn't scared..." Damian sings, ending on the high note.
"Thank you..." Hannah stuttered out, through her tears. They all hugged her and walked out of the room. She smiled softly, and fell asleep.
The club was quiet the next day. They all knew she was fine, but it was still a shock. Mr. Shue walked in looking at them all.
"I know it's going to be hard today, but we're putting on an assembly soon. I thought we could do country for Hannah," He said, handing them all music. Sam raised his eyebrows and looked up in confusion.
"Who would listen to a song called Hicktown?" He asked.
Evan shrugged, "Jason Aldean and Rednecks would."
Sam shrugged, "Cool." Mr. Shue looked up at them with a evil smile. Sam looked to Evan, Evan looked back.
"Duet. Now. This song." Mr. Shue said. Sam and Evan blushed as everyone laughed and ran to their seats to watch the performance. The music started and the guys got ready.
"Oh, you like the way that sounds?" Evan asked the group.
"Little Jimmy Jackson is jackin' up his Bronco.
He's gonna lay a little rubber later on at the truck pull."
Sam sang out.
"An' all the girls are getting' pretty... they're sprayin' on the White Rain.
Yeah, they're gonna get a rowdy tonight down at the football game."
Evan belted. Everyone started laughing, this was so out of their league. They shouldn't sing Jason Aldean.
"Yeah, we let it rip when we got the money...
Let it roll if we got the gas.
It gets wild, yeah, but that's the way we get down,
In a Hicktown."
They sang together, dancing around.
"Well, you can see the neighbors butt crack nailing on his shingles,
An' his woman's' smokin' Pall Mall's watchin' Laura Ingalls."
Sam sang out, trying not to laugh.
"An' Granny's getting' lit, she's headin' out to bingo.
Yeah, my buddies an' me are goin' muddin' down on Blue Hole Road."
Evan belted with a nod.
"You know, you know, we let it rip when we got the money...
Let it roll if we got the gas.
It gets wild, yeah, but that's the way we get down,
In a Hicktown."
They sang together.
"We hear folks in the city party in Martini Bars,
An' they like to show off in their fancy foreign cars."
Sam sang.
"Out here in the boondocks we buy beer at Amoco,
An' crank our Kraco speakers with that country radio."
Evan trilled.
"We let it rip when we got the money...
Let it roll if we got the gas.
It gets wild, yeah, but that's the way we get down."
They sang out.
"Oh, oh we let it rip when we got the money...
Let it roll if we got the gas.
It's buck wild, yeah, but that's the way we get down,
In a Hicktown.
In a Hicktown.
That's the way we get down in a Hicktown.
In Hicktown, yeah, in Hicktown"
They belted. Everyone laughed at the end.
"I kinda liked it." Sam admitted. Evan nodded in agreement.
"Country is better then you think! That's why we should do it, we might be a northern state, but Lima's got more rednecks than Kentucky!" Mr. Shue exclaimed. Country it was then!
Matthew looked around the school, he was nervous. Well, wouldn't anyone be on their first day in a new school? He shuffled to his class hopping to not get noticed. It wasn't to hard, he was only 5'6.
"Hey! What's your name?" called a voice. He turned around to see a pretty girl who was about his age, slightly shorter than him, and had gorgeous green eyes.
"Matthew. Matthew Fallon. I'm new." He spoke, brushing his hand through his short dark hair.
"That's cool! I'm Hannah. I'm in tenth grade." She said, extending her hand. He took it and shook it.
"So am I." He replied.
"Cool! You should come to Glee with me at the end of the day." She said with a large smile. He nodded, glad that she had invited him.
"Cool, I'd like that."
"Hannah!" Damian called. Hannah rolled her eyes as he ran up to walk with her to Glee club. Damian smiled politely at her.
"Hey." he said. Hannah held back comments about his sudden turn.
"Hi Damian." She said quickly.
"Um, I just wanted to say…. Sorry." He spoke. Hannah smiled.
"That's fine Damian. I completely understand..." she said with a shrug.
Just like that.
It was over.
"Clark? What are you doing here?" Audrey asked him in Glee.
"I have to sing a song for….um you." He said, though everyone could tell he thought it was obviously for someone else.
"It's country, so…it fit's your theme." He spoke awkwardly. He pushed up his glasses and the music of Are You Gonna Kiss Me or Not? by Thompson Square started up.
"We were sittin' up there on your momma's roof
Talkin' bout everything under the moon
With the smell of honeysuckle and your perfume
All I could think about was my next move
Oh, but you were so shy and so was I
Maybe that's why it was so hard to believe
When you smiled and said to me…"
He sang, looking at a certain girl in the room…who WASN'T Audrey.
"Are you gonna kiss me or not
Are we gonna do this or what
I think you know I like you a lot
But you're 'bout to miss your shot
Are you gonna kiss me or not..."
He sang directly at Hannah, but she was completely oblivious.
"It was the best dang kiss that I'd ever had
Except for that long one after that
And I knew if I wanted this thing to last
Sooner or later I'd have to ask
For your hand
So I took a chance
Bought a wedding band
And I got down on one knee
And you smiled and said to me..."
He belted, shuffling his feet.
"Are you gonna kiss me or not
Are we gonna do this or what
I think you know I love you a lot
I think we've got a real good shot
Are you gonna kiss me or not..."
He sang, everyone singing with him.
"So, we planned it all out for the middle of June
From the wedding cake to the honeymoon
And your momma cried when you walked down the aisle
When the preacher man said say I Do
I did, and you did, too
Then I lifted that veil and saw your pretty smile
And I said.."
He sang looking into Hannah's eyes. It was so obvious that he didn't want Audrey anymore.
"Are you gonna kiss me or not
Are we gonna do this or what
Look at all the love that we've got
And it ain't never gonna stop
Are you gonna kiss me or not
Yeah baby I love you a lot
I really think we've got a shot
Are you gonna kiss me or not..."
He sang the final notes and everyone cheered.
"Your so sweet!" Audrey squealed running up to kiss him, but he didn't kiss her. He walked to his seat, knowing his plan had failed.
Audrey stood in the auditorium, ready to practice the song she was going to sing to Clark. She looked into the empty room and started up the music. Just a Kiss by Lady Antebellum would be good for them.
"Lyin' here with you so close to me
It's hard to fight these feelings when it feels so hard to breathe
Caught up in this moment
Caught up in your smile..."
She sang happily, little did she know, she wasn't alone.
"I've never opened up to anyone
So hard to hold back when I'm holding you in my arms..." sang a male voice. She turned to see Damian, with a twinkle in his eye.
"We don't need to rush this
Let's just take this slow..."
They sang in unison.
"Just a kiss on your lips in the moonlight
Just a touch in the fire burning so bright
And I don't want to mess this thing up
I don't want to push too far
Just a shot in the dark that you just might
Be the one I've been waiting for my whole life
So baby I'm alright, with just a kiss goodnight..." they sang together.
"I know that if we give this a little time
It will only bring us closer to the love we wanna find
It's never felt so real, no it's never felt so right..."
She belted.
"Just a kiss on your lips in the moonlight
Just a touch in the fire burning so bright
And I don't want to mess this thing up
I don't want to push too far
Just a shot in the dark that you just might
Be the one I've been waiting for my whole life
So baby I'm alright, with just a kiss goodnight..."
They sang, Damian walking up to her.
"No, I don't want to say goodnight..." Audrey trilled.
"I know it's time to leave, but you'll be in my dreams
Tonight..."
Damian serenaded, taking her close.
"Tonight
Tonight..."
They belted, Audrey stepping away.
"Just a kiss on your lips in the moonlight
Just a touch in the fire burning so bright
And I don't want to mess this thing up
I don't want to push too far
Just a shot in the dark that you just might
Be the one I've been waiting for my whole life
So baby I'm alright, oh, let's do this right, with just a kiss goodnight
With a kiss goodnight
Kiss goodnight..."
They sang, Damian taking her hand. As the song ended Audrey laughed.
"Hi." She spoke.
"Hey." Damian said in his Irish accent.
"So, you like the song?" Audrey said.
He nodded.
"It's for Clark." She admitted.
Damian looked down.
"Yeah. It's great." He muttered. Audrey felt a tinge of dissapointment.
"Oh."
"Everyone ready?" Mr. Shue exclaimed. Everyone cheered ecstatically.
"Here we go!" He cheered. Everyone ran out on stage, welcomed by the boos of a crowd that wasn't to happy. Glee still wasn't popular. The electric banjo from Hip to My Heart by The Band Perry started up.
"I like your lips like I like my Coca-Cola, yeah
Oh how it pops and fizzes..."
Tyler started.
"You like my shirt like I like it when you hold my hand
The way it fits
Has got me feeling lucky..."
Savannah sang.
"Lookie who is comin', whoo!
You got that somethin'
Boy I wanna be where you are,
And I'm gunnin' for ya'
Can't even fall for some other man,
'Cause brother, man you know how to get hip to my heart."
They all sang dancing around. Boos came from the jocks.
"C'mon now!
All the girls in town look you up and look you down,
I know so... c'mon and pick your kitten..."
Maurie sang with a layer of sass.
"Purr, baby, purr,
go ahead and say the word-lets go!
I think I'm the one you diggin'
Got me feeling lucky..."
Hannah trilled.
"Lookie, who is comin', whoo!
You got that somethin'
Boy I wanna be where you are,
And I'm gunnin' for ya'
Can't even fall for some other man,
'Cause brother man,you know how to get hip to my heart.
Tell me now, who? Who?
Tell me now, who? Who?"
They all sang, as someone threw a slushie on the stage.
"You play it cool
You play it so coo-coo-cool
And what am I supposed to do, when you play it so cool
And I got the hots for you..."
Damian belted with a wink.
Matthew watched with a grin as Hannah and Savannah playfully began to grind on random people. For a girl with no hair, Hannah was pretty cool. Maybe this was his type of club...
"Lookie, who is comin', whoo!
You got that somethin'
Boy I wanna be where you are,
And I'm gunnin' for ya'
Can't even fall for some other man,
'Cause brother man, you know how to get hip to my heart!"
They sang.
"Lookie, who is comin', whoo!
You got that somthin'
Boy I wanna be where you are,
And I'm gunnin' for ya'
Can't even fall for some other man,
'Cause brother man, you know how to get hip to my heart
I said, you know how to get hip to my heart
i said, you know how to get hip to my heart..."
They sang. They were greeted with boos and crude comments. Only the new kid, Matthew, cheered them on. Glee was still on the bottom.
"I'm Matthew Fallon and I'm going to be singing, Down by Jay Sean." He said brightly, bouncing on his feet.
"I love that song!" Savannah cooed.
"Baby are you down, down, down, down, down?" He sang excitedly.
"Down, down..." He sang, bouncing.
"You already know
Tonight is the night to let it go
Put on a show
I wanna see how you lose control
So leave it behind, cause we have a night to get away
So come on and fly with me
As we make our great escape..."
He belted.
"So baby don't worry
You are my only
You won't be lonely
Even if the sky is falling down
You'll be my only
No need to worry
Baby are you down?
Down, down
Baby are you down?
Down, down
Even if the sky is falling down..."
He sang, running around.
"Just let it be
Come on and bring your body next to me
I'll take you away
Turn this place into our private getaway
So leave it behind, cause we have a night to get away
So come on and fly with me
As we make our great escape
So why don't we run away..."
He sang with a wink at everyone.
"So baby don't worry
You are my only
You won't be lonely
Even if the sky is falling down
You'll be my only
No need to worry
Baby are you down
Down, down
Baby are you down
Down, down
Even if the sky is falling down
Oh, oh, the sky is falling down!"
He shouted, belting the final notes. Everyone cheered happily.
"Everyone, Matthew has just made New Directions!" Mr. Shue cheered.
A/N: Okay! How'd you like it? Do you like Matthew? Next week, I'm not sure what to do, so I'm gonna have Juliet help me. Just send me songs you'd like to hear. Thanks for being fantabulous readers!
