Chapter 17
Regionals and Apologizes
It was finally time for regionals and everyone was a bit nervous but we knew we had a huge shot at winning. The set list is amazing and the group song was written for the entire club. My entire family also where to see us perform.
"Ok everyone. Time for show circle." Mr. Shue says and we all get together. "Ok, everyone. We all did an amazing job with the songs and I think I spoke to everyone when I say thank you Marley and Rachel, your song." The bell to announces our time start to sound and we all put our hands in each other.
"Amazing." We all say at the same time we raise our hand.
Marley comes and hugs me. "Good Luck." She whispers.
"You too Mar."
(Rachel, Marley, Both)
The music starts to play simple and soft and Marley on the right side of the stage and starts to sing.
Is anybody out there?
Is anybody listening?
Does anybody really know if its the end of the beginning?
(I start to sing has I walk in the middle the stage)
The quiet rush of one breath
Is all we're waiting for
Sometimes the one we're taking
Changes every one before.
It's everything you wanted, it's everything you don't, It's one door swinging open and one door swinging closed
Some prayers find an answer
Some prayers never know
We're holding on and letting go
Sometimes we're holding angels
And we never even know
Don't know if we'll make it,
But we know,
We just can't let it show
It's everything you wanted, it's everything you don't, It's one door swinging open and one door swinging closed
Some prayers find an answer
Some prayers never know
We're holding on and letting go
Yeah, letting go
And now these three remain:
faith, hope and love.
But the greatest of these is love!
When we finish we hear the applause coming then we turn our back to the public as the entire group get in the stage and a more upbeat music starts to play.
(All, Rachel, Finn, Quinn/Anna/Marley/Brittany)
Yeah, you may think that I'm a zero
But, hey, everyone you wanna be
Probably started off like me
You may say that I'm a freakshow (I don't care)
But, hey, give me just a little time
I bet you're gonna change your mind
All of the dirt you've been throwin' my way
It ain't so hard to take, that's right
'Cause I know one day you'll be screamin' my name
And I'll just look away, that's right
Just go ahead and hate on me and run your mouth
So everyone can hear
Hit me with the worst you got and knock me down
Baby, I don't care
Keep it up and soon enough you'll figure out
You wanna be
You wanna be
A loser like me
A loser like me
Push me up against the locker
And hey, all I do is shake it off
I'll get you back when I'm your boss
I'm not thinkin' 'bout you haters
'Cause hey, I could be a superstar
I'll see you when you wash my car
All of the dirt you've been throwin' my way
It ain't so hard to take, that's right
'Cause I know one day you'll be screamin' my name
And I'll just look away, that's right
Just go ahead and hate on me and run your mouth
So everyone can hear
Hit me with the worst you got and knock me down
Baby, I don't care
Keep it up and soon enough you'll figure out
You wanna be
You wanna be
A loser like me
A loser like me
A loser like me
Hey, you, over there
Keep the L up-up in the air
Hey, you, over there
Keep the L up, 'cause I don't care
You can throw your sticks, and you can throw your stones
Like a rocket, just watch me go
Yeah, l-o-s-e-r
I can only be who I are
Just go ahead and hate on me and run your mouth
So everyone can hear
Hit me with the worst you got and knock me down
Baby, I don't care
Keep it up and soon enough you'll figure out
You wanna be
You wanna be
A loser like me
A loser like me
When the song ends everyone stands up and applauds I look over to my family. Peter and Dylan are whistling and Mark is turning the camera off. The rest just has big smiles on they faces. We leave the stage with enthusiastic. A couple of minutes after the 3 teams are on the stage.
"And the winners of this year Midwest Regionals are, from McKinney high, the New Directions." The host screams and we all start to cheer hugging each other and being genuine happy.
When it was time to get to our families Quinn came with us and Dylan immediately kissed her and Peter did the same with Anna.
"Congratulation girl and Blaine." Evelyn says and she hugs me. "We are so proud."
"Come I want a hug too." Cooper says making me smile. I hug him tight.
"My turn, come where shorty." Mark says hugging me.
"I am not short." I say and then I hug Elijah, who also congratulated me.
"Where is Marley?" Evelyn asks.
"I saw her with Sam and his family." Quinn answers in Dylan's arms.
"Are you having dinner with us Quinn?" Evelyn asks the blonde girl.
"If you don't mind." Quinn says with a warm smile that moment Marley appeared.
"We can go now." Blaine says and we all get to our cars.
The next day, Anna, Marley, Quinn, Blaine and I enter the school. Blaine is the first to separated and find Mike and Noah. Then Marley leaves to meet with Sam. The last ones are Anna who goes with Kurt to the lockers. When we arrive at our locker we find out Santana and Brittany.
"Good morning." Quinn and I say not having sure of what if going on. Neither do I. That's not good; you always know what it is. I know. She says frustrated.
"Hi." Brittany says with a kind smile.
"SO what are you girls going here?"
"Santana wants to apologize." Brittany says and Quinn and I are completely shocked.
"Really?" Quinn asks.
"Hum… We… I." Santana tries to say and Brittany looks at her. "Yes. I am sorry for what I did to you in the last couple of years." She says to me honestly. So what do you say Lea. I don't know, I can see she is being genuine but don't go all BFF's with her yet.
"It's ok Santana." I say to her with a smile.
"See now we are all friends." Brittany says with her happy look.
"Sure Britt. We should probably go to class." Santana says almost dragging Brittany with her.
"That was something." Quinn says after a couple of seconds of staring at each other's.
"Yah."
"I just realize something." Quinn says and I look at her. "Santana said she was sorry I had never hear her saying that."
