This isn't part of the story. And this isn't me ranting. I just wanted to express how I felt watching Shooting Stars on April 11, 2013. And I'm only writing about the scene when the gun went off, to the end. Not the beginning or Ryder's catfish girlfriend comments stuff or some of the aftermath of the shooting! Just what happened DURING the events!
I shot up from my couch, watching the episode, and began shaking and worrying. As everyone was hiding in different corners of the room I was still shaking. It wasn't until I heard one of the girls begin to cry that I had tears down my face.
I didn't notice that Tina or Brittany weren't in the room until Sam and Blaine both mentioned it.
I freaked out.
Then they showed Brittany in the bathroom, standing on the toilet, and when I saw the tears... I had goosebumps.
I was freaking out the entire time.
When most of the kids in the room were moving from one side of the room to the other, to be with certain people, I felt my heart rise with bliss, but sank for sadness. Sam crying, dying to go and find Brittany, made me feel...wordless!
And Kitty and Marley's friendship increased. I'm glad they're friends, though the circumstances it took to MAKE them friends was a terrible one!
When Marley was constantly texting her mom and freaking, I loved how Kitty was comforting Marley. That was amazing!
When Kitty went over to hug Wade/Unique, I shook.
Ryder moving over to Jake and Marley, I shook.
I cried when I saw Tina worrying about everyone in the class, trying to get herself inside by asking permission. And when she was finally told "No!", I hated her crying!
I loved that the person taping was taping, and everyone left messages.
When Mr. Schue went out to GET Brittany (and the other two people who were hidiing) I LOVED HIM. He risked his own life to save his babies (yes, I consider all the Glee kids as Will's babies!)
When they yelled "clear!" "all clear!" and EVERYONE got up and hugged each other and kissed and got into a family hug...
Words can NOT express how I felt at the moment!
And the end of "Say", when the family cried and hugged again... I felt the same as the Choir room hug.
Wordless.
Thank you Ryan Murphay and the entire cast and crew of GLEE, for making this episode. It showed the love, the last chances we need to take in this world and best of all...family.
