Beginning Our Life
Last Time: Marley and Sarah made up just for Marley to have Sarah and Kitty sing a duet together in an attempt to bring the team together. And that's what you missed on Beginning Our Life.
Disclaimer: I don't own Glee or any songs that I may put in here.
I Miss You
Sarah's Point of View
I was just finishing up at my locker when Tina grabbed my arm, "Come on, we're talking to Kitty."
I grimaced, "Why?"
So Kitty and I weren't friends, but I think doing that duet made us not hate each other so much. Despite all that, I still don't really want to spend more time than necessary with her.
Tina rolled her eyes, "To find out what her guilty pleasure is."
Unique and Marley caught up with us, "Are you ready?" Unique asked.
"I guess," I shrugged.
We stopped in front of Kitty and Brittany. Like I thought she would, Kitty refused to tell us.
That was until Brittany whispered, "Spice Girls."
I rolled my eyes. Big whoop.
However, everyone else squealed with joy and started talking about them.
Marley noticed me not jumping around, "What's up? Come on, you have to love the Spice Girls."
I shrugged, "Sorry. I never really listened to them. That song on Just Dance is pretty catchy, but I'd never buy their music on iTunes."
"You've got to be kidding me," Unique stated, "Then who did you listen to?"
I smirked, "Journey mostly. Some Van Halen. Country was on the radio a lot because that's what Mom and Dad liked. I grew up with Finn and Puck controlling the radio, we never listened to Britney Spears or Spice Girls."
"Deprived," Brittany sighed, "That is so sad."
I laughed, "Not really, it was a lot of fun. So yeah I don't know 99 percent of the Spice Girls songs, but name a Journey album and I can tell you every song name, lyric, and top chart position."
"So you're singing Journey?" Tina scoffed.
"Probably not," I said, "I'm actually not sure what I'm singing."
~~~~~GLEE~~~~~
I absentmindedly listened to my playlist while doing my math homework. I was sitting at my desk with one leg kicked out to gently rock Nate's bouncer to try to get him to sleep.
There was a knock on the door and Grace walked in, "Can you be quiet, please?"
"What are you talking about?" I asked.
She sighed and leaned against the wall, "You're singing."
"No I'm not," I defended.
She crossed the room quickly and clicked on my laptop until the song was rewinded a couple seconds. After listening to the words, Grace raised her eyebrows, "You're singing this song."
I realized that I really was singing and I blushed, hoping Grace wouldn't mention the song.
"You listen to Miley Cyrus?" she asked.
I hid my face, "Yeah." I glanced down at Nate, "Don't tell Daddy."
Grace started going through my songs, "You have, like, every Hannah Montana or Miley Cyrus song in the world. Obsessed much?"
I softly punched her, "Shut up. I don't listen to some of it, just the good songs."
Grace smirked while leaning down to play with Nate, "Whatever. I think it makes you a cooler big sister."
I smiled, "Thanks...I think."
Grace laughed, "No problem."
I went back to my homework, barely listening to Grace play with Nate. After a couple minutes, she suddenly sat up.
"Your dad's birthday's on Monday," she stated.
My smile faded slightly, "Yeah, it is."
"Is that when you're singing?" she asked.
I nodded despite the weird lump in my throat, "Yeah," I choked out.
"I know what song you can sing," Grace stood and came to my laptop again.
"Grace, I have to sing a guilty pleasure song," I said while wiping my wet eyes, "Do you even know what that means?"
"My real mom used to say drinking was her guilty pleasure and that Noah's was ungrateful Christian girls," she replied, "So does it mean that it's bad for you, but you do it anyway?"
"Sort of," I shrugged with a small smile, "Close enough."
"Which means Miley Cyrus slash Hannah Montana is your guilty pleasure," Grace pointed out.
"Huh," I sat back in my chair, "I guess she is."
~~~~~GLEE~~~~~
I slowly made my way to the front of the room after Jake danced. I felt weird being the only girl not dressed like a Spice Girl, but whatever. I dragged a stool to the middle of the room along with a guitar. Puck had helped me over the weekend learn the song and I was sort of excited. I've never played in front of anyone besides Puck, but now I was playing for Glee and for Dad.
I sat down and stared out at everyone, "Before I say what my guilty pleasure is, I just want you guys to know that this song is for my dad and I don't-or shouldn't-care what you all think," I said softly.
Blaine smiled and nodded at me.
"My guilty pleasure is Miley Cyrus," I whispered while looking at the ground, "I know she's all weird now and stuff, but I used to really like watching Hannah Montana and I still listen to all the music."
I glanced up to see everyone still plainly watching me. I cleared my throat before beginning to sing.
You used to call me your angel
Said I was sent straight down from heaven
You'd hold me close in your arms
I loved the way you felt so strong
I never wanted you to leave
I wanted you to stay here holding me
I miss you
I miss your smile
And I still shed a tear
Every once in a while
And even though it's different now
You're still here somehow
My heart won't let you go
And I need you to know
I miss you, sha la la la la
I miss you
You used to call me your dreamer
And now I'm living out my dream
Oh how I wish you could see
Everything that's happening for me
I'm thinking back on the past
It's true that time is flying by too fast
I know you're in a better place, yeah
But I wish that I could see your face, oh
I know you're where you need to be
Even though it's not here with me
I miss you
I miss your smile
And I still shed a tear
Every once in a while
And even though it's different now
You're still here somehow
My heart won't let you go
And I need you to know
I miss you, sha la la la la
I miss you
I stopped and took a gasp of air. Tears fell down my cheeks that I desperately tried wiping. The guitar was taken from my hands and someone pulled me against them.
"I miss him," I whispered.
"I know," Blaine breathed while rubbing my back.
I felt another person against us and Jake kissed the top of my head, "I'm sure he loved that, Sarah."
I nodded at a lost for words.
"We love you," Marley said.
I cried harder into Blaine, "I love you guys."
~~~~~GLEE~~~~~
I was silent while looking down at Dad's grave, as was everyone else. Our whole family had come today. This might be the first time ever.
"Is he really down there?" Grace eventually asked.
Puck hugged her against him, "Yeah, monster."
She turned to hide her face in his shirt. I watched as she began shaking and knew she was crying.
Finn wrapped an arm around me and Nate, "Dad would be really proud of you."
I smiled and looked up at him, "I'm sure he's proud of you, too."
Finn shrugged, "I don't know."
"He is," Mom said. "I'm sure he's very proud of all of you. You've grown so much," she added.
Puck leaned over to kiss the top of my head and touch Nate's arm, "I miss him."
I nodded and blinked back the tears, "Yeah. Me too."
"What was he like?" Burt asked.
Grace turned around with a laugh, "He was really funny."
"He said the stupidest things," Mom shook her head and smirked.
"He could make anyone smile," I leaned into Puck.
Finn chuckled, "He gave pretty good girl advice."
"He was the best dad," Puck finally said.
"He sounds great," Burt smiled.
Grace ran over to hug him, "You're the best adoptive dad there is."
Burt laughed and pulled her close, "Thanks, kiddo."
Sammie gurgled and clapped her hands.
Mom laughed, "That's right, Daddy's a great dad."
"Do you think she knows we're not her real siblings?" Finn asked.
"I don't think so," Mom answered, "I think she just knows that you guys love her and she loves you, and that's all that matters."
Puck tightened his arm around me and Nate as I watched the others play with Sammie.
"I wish your dad could have met Nate," Puck whispered.
I nodded, "Yeah, but I know that he's in Nate. I can see it in his smile. My dad's looking down on him...and all of us. He's our angel."

A/N: I know it's pretty short, but I ended up sort of forgetting about this chapter, plus I really want to get to the next one; I have a feeling it's going to be long. So despite the shortness, I hope you liked this. Also, if anyone was wondering, because I really want to get to the next chapter and it's a big one, I won't write a one shot for the future verse until after that, so maybe next time I'll write two to make up for it. PLEASE REVIEW with any questions, comments, concerns, or suggestions! I'd love to know what you thought!

Sneak Peak: "You don't get it!" I screamed, "The last thing I ever said to Puck was that I wish I was raising Nate alone. I need to tell him it's not true!"
"Whoa, hey, I just need to get inside to my girlfriend," I said with my hands up. "I'm sorry, sir," one of the officers said, "But you can't go in there. There was a shooting inside." And that's when my knees gave out.
So, yeah, I read spoilers and have known about the last episode for a while which means I've planned this out for a while and I hope it turns out as good as I hope.
