So, I´ll start to try to update this one a li´l bit more, because I´ve got an idea for a sequel, I´ve also got an idea of a sequel to the sequel. I sound really weird I know, but I´ve got some really awesome ideas, promise.
Lex´s point of view
I turned around and almost jumped into the roof when I could feel a hand on my shoulder. But I breathed out again, when I saw it was just Mr. Schue.
"You´re ok Lex?" He looked very worried, I sat down, with my back against the wall. Trying to breathe slowly.'
"Yeah, yeah I´m fine." I gasped.
"You don´t sound you´re fine, and you definitely didn´t sound like you were fine a minute ago." Mr. Schue bent down, and tried to reach after the small writers´ block I had written letters to Maddie in.
"Don´t touch that." I almost shouted. "It´s private." I reached after it myself and stood up. I had leaned the crutches against a table. I balanced, with both in one hand and the notebook in my other hand.
"You wanna go home?"
"Hadn´t you some adjusting to do?"
"I can do those at home, you don´t look like you should be at school right now."
"It´s nothing. I was just reminded of something… really… painful."
"Lex?" he looked me in the eyes, with that, "worried- adult" look in his eyes.
"It´s just some letters I wrote for Maddie. I started reading them, and I…. I, well, I heard her voice in my head."
"Saying what?"
"Why are you being so sneaky? It´s none of your business." I pulled the strap on my bag over my head, and hang it on the shoulder. "were we going home or what?"
"Yeah, we were…" Mr. Schue sounded like he wanted to say more, but he kept quiet. "I´m just going to get my jacket and my bag." I followed him to his office, and then to the car. All the time with my hands in my pockets. I had put the notebook in my bag.
"So…" Mr. Schue began when he´d started driving. "Lex, I didn´t think that you really gave it all, when you were singing earlier."
"Mhm."
"I´ve heard you singing, like you were singing for your life. And you definitely didn´t sound like that today."
"Mhm."
"Can´t you say anything else then mhm?"
"What do you want me to say."
"Why didn´t you gave all you had today?"
"I don´t know. Just, a lot going on in my head right now."
"Mhm." We looked at each other.
"OK, ok, I get it. What will be next weeks assignment?"
"I´ve got an idea."
Four days later, Monday.
"So, this week´s assignment is to sing a song. About something that´s going on in your life right now."
I´d listened to some music this weekend, I´d found this awesome song… and that was the one I was going to sing. I just didn´t know when or how.
It´ll take you like, three extra seconds to review, so please do it.
