Tyler ended the song. Wow, he had a voice. He seemed quite emotional when he ended the song and Mr. Schue walked up on stage and clapped his shoulder just as he cleared his throat and smiled.
"Great job, Tyler." Mr. Schue began clapping, and I followed. "So. Do you wanna tell us why you chose this song?"
"Well," Tyler began. "My parents have been fighting a lot lately, and yesterday they told me and my brother… that, that they are…. They are getting a divorce."
"Oh, Ty I´m so, so sorry." Mr. Schue walked up on the stage and clapped Tyler on the shoulder.
"It´s ok, I guess it´s better than hearing them fighting all the time." He smiled a little.
"Well, Lex." Mr. Schue turned towards me. "Will you give it all you´ve got this time?"
"You bet." I walked up on the stage, actually. The doctor had told me that I should use the crutches for two weeks, I used them for like, one week. Then I got sick of jumping on one leg all the time. I limped badly, and I couldn´t go very far, but it was better without crutches. I took a deep breath.
…."No, dad. No dad please stop." I watched Maddie get beaten up by dad and uncle Wyatt. Dad turned around, I crouched. "Don´t let him see that you´re scared." I thought. He grabbed my hood and pulled me to the kitchen floor. Next to Maddie…
….Dad and Wyatt had gone of to Charlie´s bar. I had wrapped my arms around Maddie. "It´s ok." I whispered while rubbing her back. "It´s ok, as long as we´re together."…
…I sat on my knees on the floor next to my bed, with praying. With Maddie, in the same position next to me..
…I collapsed on the floor, sobbing unstoppable.
"Maddie," I whimpered. "Maddie, I can´t live without you, please let this be a dream. Please, please." With Mr. Schue's voice I was brought back to reality- I looked around- but luckily no one seemed to have noticed
"Wow, Lex." Mr. Schue walked up on the stage. "That was amazing."
"Now I understand." Tyler stood up. "You living at Mr. Schue´s, all the bruises and baggy clothes… it was your dad."
