A/N-Hey Guys! Here's another chapter! I hope you guys are liking this story. Starting this chapter I think I introduced all the major story arcs for the individual characters, except one that will be coming later. Let me know what you think of this Chapter. Unfortunately I probably won't be updating again since Monday as I am going on Vacation.
"Five, Six, seven, eight" Rory counted off as the song began, The New Directions were practicing their dancing. Vanessa was helping Rory choreograph and the routine was amazing. The performance of the routine on the other hand were less than polished. To be honest, they looked horrible.
"We look horrible! " Elena complained as she forced her dance partner Robbie off of her. Robbie was super handsy, which annoyed Elena.
"We're not that bad," said Skylar, ever the optimist. The glee club turned to him and stared at him as if he were stupid. "Okay, we're awful" he admitted.
Skylars dance partner Perrie spoke up from next to him,"It doesn't help that we don't even have enough boys" She looked over at Jade who was dancing with Ally.
Vanessa, partnered with Parker, who was determined to be the best dancer among the boys, attempted to go over the routine even slower. Nothing was helping though.
"You stepped on my toe AGAIN, ya little perv. And keep your hands on my waist and off my butt!" Elena yelled at Robbie.
"You're leading again Karlia. I'm the man I'm supposed to lead!" Jacob corrected his partner. Karlia was a much better dancer than him, and it showed when she constantly took lead.
"I'm sorry, I can't help It! Maybe you should start acting more like a man! Then you can take lead!" Karlia yelled back. She was tired and crabby because she was hungry.
Ally and Jade were also having problems deciding who the "man" was going to be.
"You should be the to dainty to be the man!" Ally argued.
"How are you daintier than me. You're four inches taller than me! The taller one is always the man!" Jade countered back.
"Tell that to Tom Cruise" Ally snapped.
Perrie and Skylar weren't having to many problems. Skylar even offered to let Perrie be the man, though she politely declined.
"This is nice!" Skylar said. "I feel like Eliza Doolittle"
Perrie giggled,"Does that make me Higgins?"
"No my dear Flanagan is Higgins. He's way cuter than you. I bet he's a fabulous dancer!" Skylar responded and Perrie pulled a face at her friend thinking their teacher was hot.
Connor on the other hand was not a fabulous dancer...at all. Maybe it was his height that made him so uncoordinated. His dancing with Adelaide was Definitely a sight to be seen. His 6'2" frame towered over the 5'0" girl. He had to awkwardly bend over to do Half the moves properly. Not that he'd be able to do them properly with a dance partner closer to his height. He'd already tripped over his own feet more than once. At the present moment he was attempting to do a turn, which resulted in not only bringing himself to the ground, but Adelaide as well.
"Sorry." Connor said helping her to her feet.
"It's okay." Adelaide said brushing herself off. "It's not the first time I've ended up on the floor because of you." she teased him.
"Friendly warning, it probably won't be the last time either." Connor told her cheekily. She slapped his arm lightly noticing a bruise.
"Woah nice bruise! Your gonna end up killing yourself with all this dancing" Adelaide laughed. Connor laughed too. The bruise had been there since yesterday, and he definitely didn't get it from dancing, but he wasn't going to tell her that.
"Okay guys. It's Friday, and I know you guys don't want to spend your night here. So we're done for today. Enjoy your weekend. I'll see you Monday, be prepared for more dancing." Rory walked into his office and closed the door.
"So what are you guys all doing tonight?" Perrie asked the rest of the club.
"I want food!" cried Elena who was lying on her back exhausted from today's practice.
"Lets get food!" Robbie contributed.
"Are we really going to hang out tonight. Together? As a group?" Ally asked
"Why, don't wanna hurt your image? We have standards too Barbie, but we're willing to lower ours if you are." Elena teased the blonde cheerleader.
"Shut up. Where are we gonna go?" Ally asked.
"Somewhere with food!" Jacob shouted
"Oh, and a dance floor!" Vanessa piped in. Perhaps they could practice more.
"No" yelled the entire glee club. They had enough dancing for one day.
"Karaoke is fun. After all we are a glee club!" Jade said. Jade was starting to become comfortable with her glee friends, which meant she was talking a lot more.
"I love karaoke! " Skylar squealed. He and Jade started discussing what songs they could perform.
"My Sister!" Karlia shouted.
"Huh?" asked Parker. He totally thought her enthusiasm was cute.
"My sister owns an Italian restaurant a town over. There's pizza, pasta,a karaoke machine and dance floor. Plus I'm pretty sure I could get us free food." Karlia explained happily, pleasing everyone with her answer.
"Let's go" Adelaide said excitedly
"How many of us can drive and have cars?" Ally asked trying to figure out how they all would get to the restaurant. She knew Robbie, Jacob, and Adelaide weren't old enough to drive. They would have to ride with someone.
"I have a car!" Skylar said."But, I have a bunch of stuff in my back seat so I will only be able to take one or two people." he finished. He had boxes full of clothes in his car. He told people they were for quick changes, but the truth was he was bracing for the aftermath of coming out to his parents. He knew his father would probably kick him out, and he wanted to be ready for the worst.
"Me too!"said Parker."But I don't have enough gas to make it to the next town over." Going back and forth to practice used up most of his gas.
"We can use my car...it only sits 2 people though." Perrie said. "Jade can ride with me."
"Parker can ride with me and so can Robbie and Karlia" Ally volunteered.
"I can't have passengers ride with me for another 2 weeks" Vanessa said referring to the new drivers law.
"I drive a motorcycle. I guess the Princess can ride with me" Elena said referring to Adelaide. Adelaide made a face of pure horror when Elena brought up riding on her motorcycle.
"Are you scared?" Elena teased Adelaide. The truth was Elena didn't really mind the tiny girl. She didn't really hate anyone in the glee club. She wasn't fond of all of them, but she didn't hate anyone.
"No, I'm just...wearing a skirt. Everyone knows you can't ride a motorcycle in a skirt." Adelaide concluded. Elena rolled her eyes but laughed a little at how obviously scared the girl was.
"Adelaide will ride with me." Connor spoke up alleviating Adelaide's fears that she was going to have to ride on the back of a motorcycle.
"And Jacob will come with me" Skylar finished.
"Okay, follow Ally's car. We should be there in about half an hour" Karlia said as the students walked out to the parking lot. It was around 5'o clock and the sky was just beginning to darken a tiny bit.
*GLEE*
Parker sat in the passengers seat of Ally's car. He glanced in the front mirror and saw Karlia sitting in the back seat next to a sleeping wold occasionally lean forward to give Ally directions to her sisters restaurant. The sound of Lady Gaga's newest hit filled the car, acting as background music.
"I didn't know you had a sister." Ally said to Karlia.
"According to my father I don't. When Marcella was nineteen she got pregnant. My father was not happy. It went against tradition. So he kicked her out, forbid us to talk to her. Pretended like she didn't even exist. My mom and I continued to speak to her behind my fathers back. I will never forgive my father for what he did." Karlia explained.
"That's needed her family the most then" Ally replied, her heart breaking at the story.
"Why didn't your mom interfere" Parker asked hoping he wasn't intruding on her personal life.
"My father is very strict. She didn't agree with his decision but couldn't say anything about it. It ruined their marriage. There fighting everyday now. I'm waiting for them to announce the split. My moms hardly comes home now anyway. She's a live in nurse for a patient who's suffering from alzheimer's." Karlia explained.
Something that she said shocked Parker. Not the part about her parents splitting up,the part about her mom being a live in nurse. Last year, Parker had hired a live in nurse for his father who suffered from alzheimer's. Giovanna was a middle aged woman who spoke with a heavily Italian accent. Giovanna must be Karlias mother. He's surprised he didn't notice this before. He wondered if she knew it was his father who her mother was nursing. What it people found out about his father. What would he do?
"Are you feeling all right Parker?" he heard Ally ask.
"Yeah, I'm fine" Parker replied calming himself down. Everything was going to be okay.
*GLEE*
Jacob liked Disney, okay. He wasn't one of those macho tough guys who pretended not to cry when Bambi's mother died. However, riding with Skylar was hell. They were listening to Disney songs. No, not only listening but Skylar was singing loud, and forcing Jacob to sing. He played along during "Under the Sea" and "HI Ho Hi Ho it's off to work we go" but when Skylar wanted him to do a duet to "A Whole New World" ,Jacob had reaching his breaking point.
Skylar sensing Jacobs frustration turned the music off. "Is there something wrong?" he asked.
"Id just uh...how about we talk instead of listening to music. Yeah know, to like get to know each other better." Jacob replied thinking of something to say so the music wouldn't start again.
"Oh, Okay!" Skylar said."So do you do any other activities besides glee?"
"I run track."Jacob answered."What about you?"
"Nothing else. Well, nothing else to do with the school. But, outside of school I like to write, and take pictures."Skylar told Jacob.
"Maybe you could join yearbook."Jacob suggested.
"That's not a bad idea."Skylar thought about it. He's surprised he didn't think of it before. Everyone bought the yearbook. It was cool, unlike the newspaper. "So, What do you think about everyone in glee?"
"There all really nice." Jacobs answer apparently didn't please Sklyar.
"No I mean like specifics. What do you think of every person?" Skylar was hoping to see if Jacob shared any opinions about their fellow gleeks. "I promise I won't tell any of them."
"Well, like I said there all really nice. Robbie is my best friend. He has been since kindergarten. It seems like things have changed a little this year tough. The "player" act he likes to play is a total ruse. Robbie usually doesn't talk to girls. He's too shy." Jacob started to answer the question.
Skylar knew it. Robbie wasn't some smooth talker, it was all a facade.
"Ally, is like really,really pretty. Not in the same way Vanessa and Karlia are. Ally is Beautiful. Ya think I'd have a chance with her?" he asked the older boy. Skylar knew that Ally liked Parker. The way she looked at him was obvious. Skylar knew the freshman probably didn't have a chance but he shrugged anyway, hoping that was an appropriate response to his question.
Jacob continued,"Parker is really cool. I feel like we could be friends. I mean we're both sports stars after all. Connor's a sports star too. I don't know if we could be friends though. He's nice and all, but I'm still kinda scared of him. He can be blunt and brutally honest sometimes. I think he has some underlying issues that have made him that way though. The only time I've seen him completely relaxed is around Adelaide. I get it, Adelaide is super nice. She's also super pretty and filthy rich. Most guys like that in a girl."Skylar thought about the freshman's observation. There was something going on between those two, he just didn't notice it until now. He made a mental note to talk to Adelaide.
"Perrie seems to be that kind of girl that everyone likes. She's nice, bubbly, funny, and can speak her mind. She also has an amazing voice. Jade is quiet, but extremely smart. She helped me with my math homework, which makes her like my favorite person ever. Vanessa, like I said before is smoking hot. She dances like an angel. So does Karlia. Those two could win sectionals for us based on dancing alone. I get Intimidated when I talk to them though.I know they're just people, but they're popular people."Skylar nodded at Jacob. He sometimes felt the same way. He never would have Imagined he'd be friends with them a couple weeks ago.
"Elena is kind of a contradiction. She's dark and scary, and always has a witty response. I think she likes us though. Shes nice to us. Well, nice for her at least. I don't think her and Parker get along though. It's a shame. I'm extremely close to my brother. I never get to see him though. He was deployed to Iraq last year. I think they should take advantage of the time they have with each other. " Jacob finished.
"What about me?" Skylar asked.
"Youre really cool dude." Jacob looked over at his fashionable friend who just smiled.
*GLEE*
Elena liked her motorcycle. It helped her clear her head. Elena also loved going fast. She knew the day she turned 18 she'd use the bike to get her self as far away from here as possible. She thinks she'll go to California where there were open roads everywhere, just waiting to be tore apart by illegal street racing. For the time being however, Elena was kicking it on the outskirts of Lima, the heights. She hardly came home, and when she did it was late. She didn't like helping with her father. It depressed her. Besides, her father never cared for her. His precious Parker was there taking care of him. Half the time he didn't even notice she was gone. Soon he wouldn't even know who she was, which would make leaving for Cali a lot easier. Leaving shouldn't be to hard. It ran in the family after all. Her mother did it, years ago, before her father was even diagnosed.
Elena weaves in and out of traffic keeping her eyes on Ally's blue Prius so she wouldn't get lost. Inside of Ally's car was Parker. Parker, her perfect brother. She wondered how he would react once she was gone. He would probably throw some big party, happy to have her out of his life. He never made an attempt to talk to her at all anymore, not even in glee. Or maybe she just blocked out his words. Either way, she knew he wouldn't miss her when she left.
The only people she thought would actually miss her were her crew. Vince, was her best friend. An actual big brother, not just the sad excuse that Parker was. He kept her out of trouble, and kept her alive. Maybe Vince would come with her. Elena wondered if the glee club would miss her. While they still didn't know each other too well, she liked to think that they liked her. Not that it mattered what they thought, but it would be nice if they thought of her as part of the group.
She had actually meet some of the glee club before the auditions. Obviously she knew Parker. She had clashed with Ally before. She didn't even know how she and the Barbie got along now. Perhaps it was because they were both so alike. Sure Ally didn't have tattoos or a bike, but she was mean and people were scared of her, like they were of Elena. Elena was pretty sure Ally had a crappy home life like her. Perhaps that's why they had started to become friends. Elena also knew Connor. Not only was he friends with her brother, but he also ran in the same crowd as her occasionally. She wouldn't go spreading it around to everyone in the glee club, but her and Connor had slept together on more than one occasion. However, usually it was the result of hitting a joint before hand. She knew Connor didn't have feelings for her, which made the meaningless sex that much better. Of course Elena didn't have feelings for him, or any guy she slept with for that fact.
Maybe in California she could come out of the closet. She knew people were much more accepting there than in nowhere Ohio.
*GLEE*
"Thanks for driving me." Adelaide looked to her left at Connor who was driving.
"No problem. When do you get your license?" he asked the younger girl.
"I have my permit, and I'll have my license when I turn 16 in 2 months."She replied. She couldn't wait until she had her license her daddy had already promised her the car of her choice. She had already picked out a cute pink Bug Convertible.
"Whenever you need a ride before then, I'd be happy to give you a lift." Connor offered.
"Thanks, I might have to take you up on that." Adelaide really meant that. She enjoyed Connors company. She really wouldn't need a ride anywhere because of her driver, but she wanted to spend more time with the troubled junior.
"So, you've never been on a motorcycle before have you? I mean the look on your face back in the choir room made it pretty obvious." Connor teased the girl.
"Was it that bad? I probably looked like some goody-two shoes who has never done anything wrong in her entire life. " Adelaide groaned.
Connor laughed,"Aren't you?"
"No" she said. Connor looked at her. "Maybe a little." she confessed.
"Tell me something about yourself that nobody else knows." Connor looked over at Adelaide to see if she would answer his request.
"Only if you do the same." Adelaide looked over shyly at him.
"I don't drink." Connor confessed. Adelaide looked shocked. Connor hung out with potheads and loners, the kids who would come to school baked and drunk. She had just assumed that Connor did the same.
"Really?" she asked
"Don't look so surprised. I'm not a bad guy. Sure I do pot occasionally, but I don't touch hard drugs or alcohol. I've seen what that stuff can do." Connor explained. He looked over and saw her confused face, he new he had to tell her the whole story.
"When I was six I witnessed my dad overdose. I'm not exactly sure what he was on, I think it was heroin. My mom fell apart after that, getting drunk every night. A year later child services took me away and put me in the foster care system. I've bounced around to different homes, and now I live with the Mayfields. They're not the best family. Mr. Mayfield is a drunk, and could care less about the other kids, but I'm content. I get to attend McKinley and play quarterback on the football team. I plan to move out when I turn 18, and hopefully can go to college on a football scholarship." Connor explained. He didn't like telling his life story to people, but he hoped he'd get to spend more time with Adelaide and she needed to know.
"I'm so sorry, Connor" She apologized. It wasn't her fault though.
"It's okay. It's your turn" Connor smiled as he reminded the girl.
"My freshman year I was hospitalized with anorexia" Connor turned to look at the girl. He couldn't believe what she just said. He thought she was tiny now, he couldn't imagine her any smaller, but he knew she was serious when he saw her shed a tear.
"When I was little I started doing pagents. I won every pagent I entered. I was gold. As I got older, I went through the awkward puberty stage that everyone goes through. I started losing. It was hard to compete against the other girls that had already fully matured. They were taller than me, had a bigger bust than me, and were skinnier than me. I couldn't do much about the height or the breasts, but I could control my weight, so that's what I did. I started starving myself, and low and behold I started winning again. Everytime i lost though I would break down and would go a week without eating determined to be thinner for the next pagent. Well when the next pagent rolled around I passed out on stage in the middle of the swimsuit competition. When they took me to the hospital they made me confess to my anorexia, and I spent the next 8 months in impatient treatment trying to get better." Adelaide told her story with almost no emotion in her voice. Connor looked over and she was still as stone, like she was reliving the entire experience.
"we're both pretty screwed up." Connor stated.
"Yeah, we are" Adelaide gave a small half smile.
Connor turned on the radio in his car. AC/DC's "You Shook Me all Night Long" was plating. Connor started drumming the steering wheel and any solemn feelings in the car we magically erased as they both started singing along.
*GLEE*
Vanessa was bored. She didn't like being alone. Never did. Perhaps that's why she was so easy. As Vanessa sat in her car, radio turned up loud, as she reflected on her life. She was pretty, she was popular, and she was a Cheerio. Lots of girls wanted to be her. Vanessa only wanted to be one thing in life, a professional dancer.
When Vanessa danced she forgot about all the negatives she had in her life. She forgot about everything really. She would spend hours up in her room dancing forgetting to do the chores her mother asked her to do. Not that her mother would notice if they were done or not. She was never home, neither was Vanessa's father. She was okay with that though. She was never close with her parents. They gave her money to spend, and allowed her to have friends over although they weren't home to supervise. Vanessa lived an almost independent life. She felt it gave her an advantage over all the other kids in her grade. When her friends left home, they would have no idea what to do without their parents taking care of them. Vanessa had been taking care of herself since she could order a pizza on her own.
But sometimes the house got lonely. And Vanessa hated to be alone. She assumed it was just the trade off for getting to live her life exactly as she wanted to.
*GLEE*
Perrie and Jade had been best friends forever. That's why the silence in the car wasn't awkward, but comfortable. Neither of them needed to talk to let the other know how they were feeling. Something was different though. They weren't in a fight as far as Jade knew, but something didn't seem right.
"Are you okay?" Jade asked Perrie.
"Yeah. I'm just tired." Perrie responded. She smiled over to her best friend.
Jade returned the smile. It was nice getting some alone time with Perrie. They had been really busy with glee lately. Perrie was also spending a lot of time with Elena. It didn't bother Jade much because she always got to hang out with Elena too, but sometimes It was nice being just her and Perrie.
"Are you gonna sing Karoke tonight. We could sing a duet!" Jade said excitedly.
Perrie smiled at her enthusiasm and nodded weakly.
"Yeah, of course" Perrie replied. Perrie shook herself trying to make herself more alert. She was really tired for some reason. She chalked it up to the hard dance practice they had today. Jade rambled off song ideas as Perrie focused on the road.
*GLEE*
The glee kids pulled into th parking lot in Carmel, Ohio at about 5:45. The sign above the restaurant read Marcella's. It was a tiny place and it was pretty packed. Karlia assured them theirs would be room for them all. They walked through the front door and were greeted by the sound of music. It wasn't too loud or overpowering, and you could talk without shouting, which was good. Karlia walked up to the host. He looked like he was around their age.
"Can I help you?" he asked looking at the 12 members of the glee club.
Karlia stepped forward,"Can we talk to Marcella please?"
"Marcella is busy in the kitchen. What business do you have with her" the boy said snootily
At that moment Marcella walked out the kitchen doors. She noticed her sister and ran to give her a hug .
"Sorella! What are you doing here" She asked Karlia as she gave her kisses on both cheeks.
"My glee club got hungry! So I told them about the best Italian restaurant ever!" Karlia told her sister.
"I've got you covered. You will all eat for free. Familia doesn't pay!" Marcella told the gang.
"Speaking of Familia, how is Zachariah?" Karlia asked thinking of her nephew.
"Perfect!" Marcella loved her son. She didn't care if she had been shunned by her family. Zachariah was worth it.
"Marcus show these guys to the big booth" Marcella hugged Karlia again before Marcus started leading them to the best seat in the place.
"Right this way" Marcus sneered. Several of the New Directions members started mocking him behind his back. They got to the booth and the 12 members pulled in. It was a tight fit, but it was still comfortable.
"This place is AMAZING" Robbie commented.
"Your sister is so nice" Ally said.
"Thanks. She's like my best friend" Karlia responded.
"Can we get food now?" Jacob asked. He was starving.
"Yeah, what should we get?" Karlia asked.
The group decided on 5 large pizzas. When the waiter went to put in their orders Skylar stood up.
"Who wants to Karoke?" he asked already pulling Jade to her fee. Elena also got up.
"You coming Perrie?" Jade asked. They had decided to sing Back to Black by Amy Winehouse as a duet.
"After dinner okay? I gotta refuel" Perrie told her friend. Perrie felt even more tired now than she did before. She was also starting to get a headache.
"I'm holding you to it!" Jade yelled as Skylar pulled her across the dance floor to the Karaoke stage.
It wasn't long before they heard the opening notes of a familiar song ,"I WIll Survive" by Gloria Gaynor. The group looked over to see Skylar getting into what he called his "Sassy Black Women Attitude".
Skylar-
At first I was afraid
I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live
without you by my side
Jade-
But then I spent so many nights
thinking how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
And I learned how to get along
Both-
and so you're back
from outer space
I just walked in to find you here
with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second
you'd be back to bother me
Skylar -
Go on now go walk out the door
just turn around now
'cause you're not welcome anymore
weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Did you think I'd crumble
Did you think I'd lay down and die
Jade-
Oh no, not I
I will survive
oh as long as i know how to love
I know I'll stay alive
Both-
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
and I'll survive
I will survive (hey hey)
Skylar-
It took all the strength I had
not to fall apart
kept trying hard to mend
the pieces of my broken heart
and I spent oh so many nights
just feeling sorry for myself
Jade-
I used to cry
But now I hold my head up high
and you see me
somebody new
I'm not that chained up little person
still in love with you
and so you felt like dropping in
and just expect me to be free
But now I'm saving all my loving
for someone who's loving me
Both-
Go on now go walk out the door
just turn around now
'cause you're not welcome anymore
weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye
Did you think I'd crumble
Did you think I'd lay down and die
Oh no, not I
I will survive
oh as long as i know how to love
I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
and I'll survive
I will survive (oh)
Skylar-
Go on now go, walk out the door
just turn around now
Cause you're not welcome anymore
weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye
Jade-
Did you think I'd crumble
Did you think I'd lay down and die
Both-
Oh no, not I
I will survive
oh as long as i know how to love
I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
and I'll survive
I will survive
I will survive...!
They finished the song with a pose and the glee club cheered for their friends. Skylar and Jade made the way back to their table as the pizzas were brought out.
*GLEE*
The club had finished the pizzas and were now sitting in the both talking. Vanessa and Ally had got up to take their turn at Karaoke. Perrie and Jade had gone to the bathroom dragging a reluctant Elena along. Robbie and Jacob had found a pinball machine in the lobby and had set a goal to beat the high score. Skylar had tagged along hoping to find a chance to talk to the host again. Sure he was rude, but he was cute. Parker, Karlia, Adelaide, and Connor were still sitting at the table laughing over the fact that Mr. Flanagan reminded Parker of a leprechaun.
Ally and Vanessa started there song. They were singing "I want you to want me" by cheap trick. Connor leaned over and whispered something in Adelaide's ear. She got up, grabbed Connors hand, and the two of them walked over to the dance floor.
Ally-
I want you to want me.
I need you to need me.
I'd love you to love me.
I'm beggin' you to beg me.
Vanessa-
I want you to want me.
I need you to need me.
I'd love you to love me.
I'll shine up the old brown shoes, put on a brand-new shirt.
I'll get home early from work if you say that you love me.
Ally-
Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?
Vanessa-
Feelin' all alone without a friend, you know you feel like dyin'.
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?
Both-
I want you to want me.
I need you to need me.
I'd love you to love me.
I'm beggin' you to beg me.
I'll shine up the old brown shoes, put on a brand-new shirt.
I'll get home early from work if you say that you love me.
Ally-
Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?
Vanessa-
' all alone without a friend, you know you feel like dyin'.
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?
Both-
Feelin' all alone without a friend, you know you feel like dyin'.
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?
I want you to want me.
I need you to need me.
I'd love you to love me.
I'm beggin' you to beg me.
I want you to want me.
I want you to want me.
I want you to want me.
I want you to want me.
During the song, Karlia and Parker were left alone at the table. Karlia smiled up at Parker.
"Are you having a good time?" She asked.
"The best. Thanks for bringing us here." Parker looked down at the Italian girl. It was dark in the restaurant but he swore he saw her blush. She turned her attention to the dance floor. She laughed at Connor and Adelaide dancing playfully together. Connor really was a terrible dancer, but at least he was trying.
"Look at them," Karlia said referring to the dancing pair. "Theyre so cute."
Parker laughed."Does Peter ever ask you to dance?" he asked seeing the longing in her eyes.
"Never," she frowned.
"That's too bad. You're an amazing dancer." Parker complimented her.
"Thanks. So are you. Must be all the soccer. It's made you really coordinated." Karlia observed.
"Don't laugh, but the coaches actually made me take said it would improve my agility." Parker divulged to her.
Karlia couldn't help but laugh. "Sorry," she said,"The thought of you in tights got me."
Parker laughed too, "Don't worry the tights were pretty manly"
The song finished to soon, and the crowd went wild for the two singing girls. Ally and Vanessa made their way back to the table. Connor took ahold of Adelaide's hand leading her through the busy crowd. They slid into the booth beside Parker never letting go of each others hand.
Jacob and Robbie returned to the table with bummed looks on their faces.
"What's the matter guys?" Vanessa asked.
"We ran out of quarters for the pinball machine. We didn't even come close to the record." Robbie explained.
The other members of the table laughed. Skylar came and sat back down at the booth as well.
"Why are we all laughing" he asked taking a sip of his drink.
"Why do you have such an accomplished look on your face?" Adelaide asked.
Skylar blushed,"If you must know, Marcus, the host, and I exchanged numbers. He's calling me tomorrow night."
"That dudes a jerk. What do you see in him?" Karlia asked.
"I saw him in skinny jeans." Skylar answered and everyone at the table again began to laugh.
"Come on guys we gotta go" Elena suddenly came to the booth, She grabbed her purse. "We gotta go. Perrie's sick."
While in the bathroom Perrie had gotten dizzy. She suddenly passed out then woke up a minute later to a crying Jade. She didn't get a chance to say anything before she quickly crawled to the toilet and got sick. Elena had held her hair back for her. After Perrie was finished she went to the sink and washed her mouth. Jade was escorting her to the door as Elena went to gather the group.
"Is she okay?" Ally asked concerned. It was weird. A week ago Ally would have said Perrie was her worst enemy. Now she was worried about the girl who she considered kind of a friend.
"I think so, but we gotta get her home." Elena replied as the club piled out of the booth.
"Jade is going to drive Perrie's car back."Elena added.
"Perrie can ride with me,"Ally volunteered. "She can lie down in my backseat. I also have trash bags incase she gets sick again. Robbie can ride with Jade, and Karlia can go with Connor"
*GLEE*
The club said hurried goodbyes to each other in the parking lot of Marcella's, before getting in their respective cars.
Ally made sure Perrie was comfortable before driving off towards Lima. She would drop Perrie off, and then take Parker back to school to get his car. While having a sick passenger in the back seat wasn't fun, Ally looked forward to spending more time with Parker.
Skylar and Jacob pulled out after them. Skylar attempted to turn on the Disney songs again before Jacob told him no. They finally settled on a radio station they both enjoyed.
Adelaide made Karlia take the backseat as she sat in the passengers side. Karlia wasn't happy about having to sit in the back seat on the way to and back from the restaurant, but she relented when she saw Connor and Adelaide holding hands across the console.
Vanessa left after Connors car pulled into the seat. She was a little nervous about driving back so late at night, especially since she knew no one would be waiting for her at home. She turned on the radio, and sang along to the song trying to shake away the mundane thought.
Jade was the last one to pull out. She had to adjust the drivers seat to her height, she looked over and saw Robbie staring at her. Jade didn't really know him to well. She knew this was going to be a long car ride. She put the car in shift and drove off into the night.
