Well, here is chapter two! Enjoy!
Finn sipped gingerly at his coke as he say at his table at the engagement party. He wasn't a fan of these kinds of things. He had always hated big parties. He already knew that when he got married his party would be super small just for family and close friends.
"Finn!" He heard he voice from behind him, and he already knew who was coming to bother him.
"Hey Sugar," he said uncomfortably. "What are you doing here?"
He knew Sugar from school. One time in the sixth grade he let her sit next to him on the bus ride to a field trip because no one else would let her, and she refused to leave him alone since. He understood why no one else wants her. She was super clingy, super annoying, and super in love with him. So, he shouldn't be surprised that she was at the party.
"Ronald (the man of the newly engaged couple) is my mom's co-worker. I didn't want to come here because I thought I wouldn't know anyone my age, but look who I found!" She threw her arms around his neck, "This might not be such a bad party after all."
"Uhh, yeah," he replied, formulating a plan to get away from her. "Listen, Sugar, I really need t-"
"Hello everyone!"
Finn turned around to see Laurie (the woman of the newly engaged couple) standing on stage.
"Hello! First of all, I'd like to thank everyone for coming tonight. It means so much to Ronald and I," Laurie began. "My little cousin has agreed to sing us a song! Here she is!"
Laurie stepped off stage to let her cousin step on. Her cousin walked to the microphone and cleared her throat.
"Good evening," she spoke, her voice soft, sweet, and very familiar.
Finn squinted his eyes to try and get a better look. His eyes widened when he realized who the girl was. Rachel.
Rachel opened her mouth then, and began to sing.
Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by the rules
Of someone else's game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes and leap!
It's time to try
Defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
And you can't pull me down!
I'm through accepting limits
'cause someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But till I try, I'll never know!
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love I guess I've lost
Well, if that's love
It comes at much too high a cost!
I'd sooner buy
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I'm defying gravity
And you can't pull me dow
Bring me down! Ahhhh!
The entire audience erupted into applause. Rachel was incredible!
Finn unhooked Sugar from around his arms and escaped her grasp. His eyes scanned the gigantic ballroom for Rachel, but she was nowhere to be found.
"Finn? Do you need something?"
He turned around to see Laurie.
"Yes, your cousin, where did she go?"
"Oh, she could only stay for half the party. That's why I had her sing her song so early in the evening," Laurie explained.
"So, she's gone? To where?"
"I'm not sure. I think she said something about an audition," Laurie said. "Sorry, you just missed her."
"No, that's alright," Finn said.
"Okay, I'll see you around," Laurie smiled and then returned to her friends.
Finn looked around one last time. Crap.
Keep on reviewing!
