New Directions: The Next Generation

by singmealullaby56

So the year is 2035, and all of the New Direction's have found their way back to where it all began: Lima, Ohio. But they haven't come back by themselves, oh no, they came back with their kids! How will their children go through their high school years at McKinley? With drama, friendship, love and so much more, you don't know what to predict will happen!

17. Bang, Bang Part 2

Warning: This chapter contains a lot of violence and blood. So if you're not comfortable with that, then don't read it.

The adults were laughing and talking at the Lima Bean, reminiscing old memories.

"So remember when Finn dressed up in that horrible red outfit?" Kurt asked, everyone nodded," Well after we got home and our parents saw him in it, they burst out laughing! And then Carole asked if he was questioning his sexuality as well which embarrassed the hell out of him!" Everyone laughed except Finn who was beet red.

"You know, it took me a while to get the dress off…" Finn trailed off.

Everyone laughed," Of course with your abnormally large stature, it would take you hours to take off the red shower curtain!" Santana mocked.

Finn sent her a playful glare and the two laughed, "Oh I'm so happy the gangs back together." Artie said.

Everyone nodded in agreement. Suddenly, the TV was put up in a high volume and the TV flashed in black letters, "Breaking News". But the adults were too caught up to see it, but they could hear it.

"Breaking News! Police reports have claimed that William McKinley High School is being surrounded as there is a shooting occurring inside the school. Police officials are doing all they can at the moment." The reporter said.

Everyone turned white. Extremely white as they heard what they just heard. Even the tanned adults were painfully white as they all turned their heads toward the TV that showed footage of teens and teachers running out frantically in havoc out of the building. Some teens were dragging the injured who were pouring in blood and cuts.

Like a lightning bolt, they jolt out of their seats and run out of the coffee shop. They don't even bother getting their cars, they ran. They ran faster than they've done in years.

Tommy was confused through it all, he didn't know why his mom and dad and the newly met people were running and pale. His mother held him tighter as they ran and he just looked bewildered through it all.

All the parents were scared; they didn't want their kids' to come out in a body bag. They wanted them out alive.

~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~

The teens that were in the choir room immediately took off running, going their own ways. Annie and Gabe went through the hallways running. Hearing gunshots and screams. The hallways were chaotic, everyone pushing each other to get a shot of getting out alive. Others were crying at seeing one of their friends on the floor, dead. Annie's eyes widened as she saw all the blood…there was so much blood.

Finally, the two reached the front door and Gabe kissed her passionately," Go." Gabe told her.

Annie's eyes widened and she shook her head," No I am not going! Not without you!" Annie exclaimed, tears forming in her eyes.

"I need to find my brother and sisters." Gabe told her, walking her closer to the exit, pushing people out of the way.

"I need to find my sisters' too; I'm not leaving you Gabe!" Annie said stubbornly.

Gabe sighed," Right now, you need to be safe. You can't be in here. I love you." Gabe opened the front door and Annie was pushed out by students running out. Gabe ran back down the hallways to look for his brother and sisters.

Annie tried to get back in the school but she couldn't," Gabe! GABE!" she shouted, tears pouring down her cheeks. She had never been so scared in her life, where was her sisters'? Were they okay? Would Gabe make it out? No, she couldn't think that. He would make it out. He would.

~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~

The moment Will heard the gunshots he ran back to the choir room. Will ran as fast as he could," Guys we all need to—"he walked in to an empty choir room, he shook his head," No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, NO! "Will ran his hands through his gelled curly hair. What was he going to do? The kids' were all over McKinley!

Will then dashed to Emma's office. Maybe she stayed there. Maybe Orion and Adara were there as well. He stopped at Emma's office and she wasn't there. Will put his hands to his face and held back the tears. He had to find his family. He had to find the kids. He was not going to let a life slip away today.

Not while he was here.

~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~

Christian and Izzy ran down the chaotic hallways seeing dead bodies surrounded and pools of blood around. Christian's eyes widened as he saw it all, feeling sick to the stomach. Who would do this? This was done by someone really angry.

"Tian run! We have to leave!" Izzy exclaimed, pushing him to go faster.

Christian looked at Izzy," But dad, we can't leave him!" his dad was most likely still in the building. Knowing his dad, he'd be the last one to get out as he tries to get everyone out of the building.

"Dad's a big boy! He can make it out on his own!" Izzy replied, her voice sounding scared and overprotective at the same time.

Before Christian could try to respond, gunshots rang out and Izzy took his hand and they made a run for it.

"I'm not going to lose you Tian, run!" Izzy commanded, scared for her life and for her brother's.

Christian nodded and the two ran through the chaotic hallways and saw an exit through a side door," Come on run!" Izzy exclaimed and the two ran as fast as their legs could take them and the moment they were out the school Izzy let out a sigh of relief. They were safe. They were free from bullets. They were free from death. It was over for them, but not for everyone else.

Izzy turned to Christian and hugged him so tight he thought he was going to lose air," Hey Bells I can't breathe!" Christian said.

Isabella laughed unenthusiastically and let go," Sorry, I'm just glad we're out of there and we're alive."

"What about the rest of the New Directions?" Chris asked, feeling worried for the new friends he had made.

Izzy sighed as they walked further from the school and behind police barricades where they were safe," I don't know Tian, all we can do is pray they come out." Izzy had actually started to like these people and hoped they'd come out walking, not in a body bag.

~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~

The police began to put police tape, separating the school building and the police officers, bystanders, news stations, distressed parents, and SWAT teams.

A couple news stations hover like wasps, interviewing parents and agreeable officers. Cameras are fixed on different angles of the school, providing coverage for the reports for the viewers at home.

One of the policemen being Darrell Jones. To answer your question, yes he is Mercedes older brother, only by two years but still. He paced back and forth, his nephew was in there as well as his friends. He has never had to deal with a school shooting before—he assumes Lima is too quiet of a town for such things. He was trying his best to calm down parents who were scared for the safety of their children.

"All right everyone listen!" he called out, every parent looked at him with anxious eyes," We're doing our best to make sure this ends. We've been securing the perimeter and all entrances, and we'll begin to send men inside when it's appropriate to do so. These shooters are two students from the school. It's more than likely they've been bullied and they reached their boiling point and this is their way of getting back. They're angry and they want revenge on the students that bullied them."

Some parents looked confused, others looked guilty and ashamed. They know how their children act—or some of them at least.

"Do not attempt to move past the barricades, they are placed there for a reason. No one is to play hero. Thank you." Darrell said and he looked back at the school. He hoped to god this hell would end soon.

~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~

Rowan tried to keep her breath steady as she walked down the now empty hallways cautiously. The moment she had heard the gunshots she felt her heart come out of her chest. Her first instinct was to go look for her brothers and sister. But she couldn't find them.

She walked down the hallways scared that someone will pop up and shoot her. Suddenly, she heard footsteps and her breathing grew heavier and her pace quickened. "Please don't let my life end here. Please!" Rowan thought to herself as she quickened her pace.

The cocking of a gun made her freeze in her steps; she slowly turned and saw the two gunmen, Damon Mathers and Eddy Peters.

"Well, well, well look who we have here, Rowan Lopez-Pierce, top bitch of the school," Damon said as he and Eddy walked towards the scared girl," How does it feel hmm? To be on top of the school and insult anyone you like—make them feel powerless. Inferior. Worthless. Tell me Rowan."

Rowan remained silent as Damon walked around her, eyeing her up and down. He knew he had the power right now. He was armed, she wasn't. For once, he was the one with the upper hand.

"Have you ever thought about death Rowan? How you'd like to die? I have, I would like to die peacefully in my sleep—but I don't know what my death will be…but I know yours," Damon locked eyes with Rowan's and the girl gulped and was shaking with fear. The boy cocked his gun," Where would you prefer to be killed Rowan? In the neck?" He placed the gun on her neck; Rowan felt the cold temple of the gun and whimpered. He smirked," The head?" his gun trailed up to Rowan's forehead. Rowan closed her eyes to hide the tears. Damon grinned evilly as he cocked the gun and pulled the trigger causing Rowan to fall to the ground crying, there had been no bullet there but the possibility of there being one scared her. Damon laughed at her," Not so high now huh? Get up," He pulled Rowan up forcefully," I don't think the head will do for me…what about straight in your chest?" he placed the gun on her chest and Rowan was shaking in fear as he pulled the trigger and no bullet came. Tears poured down her cheeks as the Damon and Eddy laughed at the girl's vulnerable side.

"You know what Damon, if you shoot her in those places, it'll be too quick." Eddy said, grinning evilly.

Damon nodded," You're right Eddy, she'll feel no pain…and I want her to feel pain. I want her to feel all the hell I've been put through. ALL OF IT!" he cocked the gun and pointed the gun to Rowan.

"Please…" Rowan begged in a whisper. Her voice was very unlike Rowan. She looked scared, vulnerable, helpless.

"Too late for begging my dear." A shot rang out and Rowan screamed in pain as the bullet had hit her thigh and she fell to the ground. She touched her thigh and felt the warm liquid pouring out of her thigh. She raised her hand and saw the red blood on her hand. Her blood. She felt steps walk up to her. Damon and Eddy looked down on her and laughed.

"Now you know how it feels like to be helpless," Damon sneered as he pointed the gun at her again," Have fun in hell bitch." Another shot rang out and Rowan screamed in pain again as he had hit her shoulder now.

The two laughed once more and left the girl on her own, Rowan could feel a small pool of blood, her blood. She whimpered from the stinging pain. Was this really the end for her? Was this how she was going to die? Rowan cried at the thought. She slowly and painfully brought upper body up and leaned against a locker.

She couldn't die. She was too young. She hasn't even had sex yet! Was she going to die a virgin? Wasn't there some law against that? Rowan wiped the tears with the one arm that she could still use. She was Rowan Celeste Lopez-Pierce. Top bitch of McKinley, and here she was, dying. She didn't want to die though and she was going to die trying at least. Slowly, Rowan dropped herself back to the ground and whimpered, slowly dragging herself across the hallways.

"Almost there…" she said to herself as she saw the empty classroom getting closer and closer. She turned her head and saw the trail of blood she was leaving, she hoped the shooters wouldn't see it and find her, really killing her this time. Rowan dragged herself into the classroom and slumped against the teacher's desk, out of energy. She could feel her tanned complexion turning pale. She never thought she'd die alone…and now she was going to die without telling Ethan how she felt about him…

~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~

Cheryl and Nikki ran through McKinley's long hallways, looking for their siblings, but also looking for an exit out of here.

Cheryl peeked her head in a classroom and saw no one there," I don't see anyone here Nikki!" Cheryl told her.

Nikki looked through a classroom and no one was there," No one's here either." The two continued walking down the hallways.

Cheryl sighed," We need to find them!"

"Cheryl, we need to get out of here as well! If we stay in here, they can find us and we'll be dead!" Nikki exclaimed.

Cheryl looked at her," But our brothers and sisters…we can't just leave them in here!"

"I know, that's what's holding me back. But I need to know you're safe!" Nikki told her.

Cheryl gulped," I-I guess so."

"We tried to find them Cher, but we couldn't. Now we have to go!" Nikki said, taking her hand.

Cheryl nodded," Okay." The two started walking down the empty hallways. Cheryl suddenly gasped as she saw brown curly locks exactly like Oliver's. But Cheryl's fears of her brother possibly being dead made her feel sick. Nikki saw dark smear of blood staining the floor her stomach churned with disgust and horror. Cheryl stood motionless in Nikki's arms; her eyes fixed on the brunette boy, slumped against a locker and his face turned away from them.

"You'll stay," Nikki told her, "I'll check, just stay here."

"But—Nikki—Oliver— I—"Cheryl tried to say, but she couldn't process the words in her head.

"No."

Nikki loosens her grip, and Cheryl softly begged for her not to lie about who the body is, because she has to know. And she knows Nikki won't lie to her. Nikki nodded and checked around them, and slowly walks to the dead boy. Nikki kneeled beside the dead body, inspecting it. A murky stain coated the uniform at the chest, too dark to match the navy blue blazer and baby blue button up shirt. Nikki swallowed her bile as she laid a hand on the cold skin, no pulse appeared. Dead. Just like the others. Nikki turned the dead boy's head.

Cheryl inhales a nervous, anticipating breath...

"It's not Oliver," Nikki told her. Cheryl let out a sigh of relief, there's still hope. Nikki reached the eyes, and gently closed them with her fingers.

"It's Rick Parker." Nikki muttered. She knew the guy, and they occasionally talked. But she never imagined the boy would be standing in front of her as a cold, lifeless corpse.

"He was a good guy," Nikki said, "I just...I spoke with him this morning..."

This death and ones around her in the hallway slowly sunk in, and Cheryl just wanted to escape from this nightmare. How could this happen? This morning she was worried about being late for school. Now, she was afraid for her own life and those of her friends. Things like this don't happen in Lima. They happen in other places, but not here. Looks like for once, Cheryl was wrong.

"He has a little brother," Nikki told Cheryl, "He's only 4." Nikki didn't know why this was getting to her. Rick and she weren't even that close of friends. But the fact that from now on she wouldn't be waving to him across the hall…now her thoughts were going to his parents'. They were good people. And now they only had one son. She just couldn't believe that this was happening. That her life and everyone else's was in danger. And she couldn't do anything about it.

"Let's go." Cheryl said, taking Nikki's wrist and tugging her away. She couldn't stand being here any longer. Seeing all these bodies…all the blood…the smell of death…

The two walked down the hallways, bolting down staircases, and their pace increased by the second. Finally, they saw the front door. The door that escaped them from this nightmare.

~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~

The front of the school is swarmed of police officers, a few of school personnel that managed to get out, and dozens upon dozens of frightened parents, conversing with each other and throwing glances at the doors, hoping their child will run out unscathed and safe. The police had made a list of students to look over, a secretary having drawn up the records from a laptop provided by an officer. 12 students were absent, either sick, skipping, or on vacation. They must be grateful they aren't here.

One hundred and thirty-five students managed to escape the school the moment the shooting began. They must feel blessed.

Yet, Eight hundred and seventy kids remained inside. They must feel like they're living in their own personal nightmare.

"Look officer, I don't care about my life right now because my fucking kids are inside that building and if you don't let me in there, I'll get in there myself!" Santana yelled at the officer, trying to pass through the barricaded area.

"Miss, we are trying all we can right now but nobody is permitted to be inside the building—"the officer tried to say.

"—look moron, my son is in there and I want to know if he's safe!" Mercedes interjected harshly.

All the old New Directions were glancing at the door and back at the police officers, the officer sighed," We're trying our best—"

"—well you aren't trying hard enough!" Puck intervened, furious that he was seeing no work done whatsoever by the police officers.

The officer continued arguing with the parents until Darrell intervened the argument," Is there something wrong?" he asked.

Mercedes looked at him," We want to get in there Darrell! Our kids' are in there—"

"—as is everyone else's. Look Cedes, I want to get in there myself. But we can't, if we do, we're only risking the kids' life. And possibly lose more lives that have already lost." Darrell explained to her. Mercedes knew he was right, as did everyone else. But it didn't change the fact their kids' were still in there.

Blaine held a crying Annie while Kurt paced back and forth," Things like this don't happen here! Shootings don't happen in Lima!" Kurt exclaimed.

Before anyone could say anything else the front doors opened and Nikki and Cheryl had their hands raised as if they were the criminals here—though they weren't. They were far from it.

One of the officers walked towards the two teenagers and behind the barricades where Rachel, Finn, Quinn, and Puck greeted them with open arms and tears. Cheryl ran into her parents' arms while Nikki into hers. Cheryl rarely showed her emotions but in this moment, she cried into her dad's chest. Finn and Rachel rubbed their eldest daughter's back, trying to comfort her. Nikki held back her emotions but still hugged her parents more than she had in her whole lifetime. She didn't think she would see them again.

The parents who had yet to have their kids' back in their arms looked at the two parents' enviously. They wanted to have some sort of relief that their kids' were still alive. But until they saw their children come out through the front doors, all they had to do is wait.

~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~

Connor dashed through the empty hallways, wanting to find his siblings and Emily. They may be broken up but that didn't mean he stopped loving her. So he wasn't going to get out of here until he found her. And he was going to make sure she would come out alive.

He continued walking down the hallways, looking into classrooms and passing by dead bodies and his shoes staining in dark red blood. This was surreal in his mind. Things like this don't just happen. Suddenly footsteps were heard. And Connor hoped to God it was Emily and not the shooters.

"Connor Puckerman, top stud of McKinley. " Eddy spoke up as he and Damon stepped closer and closer to Connor.

Connor turned to them and gulped," What do you—what do you want?" Connor asked.

Completely ignoring Connor's question Eddy continued," How does it feel? Quarterback of the football team, super popular, and has—well had the perfect blonde cheerleader girlfriend. Living the life huh?"

Connor looked at them with brave yet fearful eyes," I never did anything to you two." He said.

"No, but your teammates did. And you did nothing to stop it." Damon replied harshly.

"I couldn't just stop it out of the blue—"

"—yes, you could've! But no, just let the jocks pick on the freaks! They're nothing but freaks anyway! Well you know what Connor? We're done being freaks and we're done with you!" Eddy pointed his gun at Connor.

Connor raised his hands in fear," You don't have to do this."

Eddy sent him a dirty look," Oh but it do." A bullet fired and it entered in Connor's hip, sending him to the floor. Connor groaned as he felt the stinging sensation and his blood flowing down.

The two smiled at Connor's pain and torture. They watched him groan in pain and then walked away from him in satisfaction. Connor remained on the floor as he shifted from one side to the other. He never pictured his death being like this…

Footsteps approached him, were they back to finish him off?

He heard a gasp and footsteps running," Connor!" the girl kneeled beside him.

"Emily?" he asked.

Emily nodded," How did this—how—"Emily didn't even know what to say at the moment. But she knew she had to help Connor. She wasn't going to let him die. Not on her watch.

She slowly brought Connor up, careful not to hurt his injury more than it already was," Emms, I don't think you can help me, I'm heavier than you are."

Emily rolled her eyes," In case you forgot Connor, I'm on the cheerios." She retorted as she held him up.

Connor chuckled," Oh right."

"Now come on, we need to get you out of here." Emily said. And slowly but surely, the two walked down McKinley hallways and out the door.

~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~

The moment Emily and Connor got out the police officials immediately saw a pale faced Connor and blood dripping down to the floor and the paramedics went to help the boy. Quinn, Puck, and Nikki without hesitating ran through the barricades and to Connor.

"Are you injured honey?" one of the paramedics asked since her once white shirt was now stained with Connor's blood. Emily shook her head.

He nodded, "You can let him go now honey." The paramedic told Emily. Emily hesitantly let go of Connor and they placed him on the stretcher.

"Puck you and Nikki stay here I'll go with Connor." Quinn told the two. Nikki and Puck nodded, and Quinn walked into the ambulance with the paramedics.

Kurt, Blaine, and Annie ran to Emily and hugged her while crying. Their Emily was safe but Scotty was still somewhere in McKinley…either safe…or dying…

~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~

Grayson ran through the hallways looking for Delilah. He had to find her. No, he was going to find her. He really loved Delilah and if he lost her…no, he wasn't going to think that. She was alive and she was going to be okay. He continued dashing through the hallways.

Grayson found himself on the second floor, and several bodies laid in odd positions against lockers, some on their stomachs, and others lying face up, frozen and immobile. Others on the floor, creating a small pool of blood around them. This was some sort of nightmare made real.

When he suddenly heard crying coming from the other hallway. He walked to the other hallway. And saw a brunette slumped against the locker, with tears pouring down her cheeks.

A terrified, weeping Dorothy looks up at Grayson with relief. Grayson examines Dorothy, if it wasn't possible, Dorothy was even paler than normal, red rimmed eyes, and further down, a bloodstained white shirt. Dorothy's hands weren't still; they shook and constantly darted to her wound. Dorothy had been shot, Grayson realized in shock.

Dorothy's once beaming and bright blue eyes were scared and it was almost like staring into nothing. Something he'd never think he'd see. He observed in silence as Dorothy grittrf her teeth and exhaled deeply.

"Dory." Grayson whispered, struggling to comprehend that his fellow glee mate was hurt. Dorothy was shot, someone he knew could die today, right in front of him.

"Gray."

~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~

Ellie wheezed as Jonathan and she ran through the hallways. Jonathan put his hand over her mouth," Ellie I know you're scared but you need to be quiet. We can't risk them finding us, "Jonathan whispered to her. He knew she had anxiety so she couldn't help it," We're going to get out of here you hear me?"

Ellie nodded and her breaths became steadier and Jonathan released his hand," What about Dory?" Ellie asked, tears pouring down her face.

Jonathan didn't know where his little sister was. And truthfully, he was scared," We'll find her Ellie. But you need to get out first." Jonathan told her.

"But what about you?" Ellie whispered.

"Don't worry about me. Now go out that side door Ellie." Jonathan commanded.

Ellie shook her head," No, I can't leave you here!" her breathing became heavy again, this time she was having an anxiety attack.

"Hey, hey, hey. Don't worry about me. But please go Ellie. I beg you to please go." Jonathan told her. He wanted to know that one of his little sisters' were safe while he went to find the other one.

"No!" her breathing turned into wheezes. She was scared for Jonathan's safety. If she lost him…she didn't even want to imagine it.

Jonathan put his hands on her shoulders," Look Elle, you can't be here. It's too risky and it's too dangerous. If anything happened to you or Dory I would hate myself forever. Do this for me. Be brave Ellie and leave. Please." Jonathan felt tears stinging in his eyes.

Ellie sobbed and hugged her brother," Be careful." She muffled through Jonathan's shirt.

"I will," He kissed Ellie's forehead;" I love you."

"I love you too." Ellie sniffled and slowly walked towards the side door and got out. Jonathan let out a sigh of relief, she was safe.

~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~

Ellie walked out the door and turned back to see Jonathan gone. She held back the tears and tried to settle her wheezes as she walked towards the front of the school where everyone was settled in front. Almost immediately police officials walked towards her and looked at her with concerned faces," Sweetie are you okay? Are you hurt?" Ellie shook her head but they noticed her breathing. They took her behind the police barricade and there, David and Sebastian were and Ellie ran to hug them and sobbed.

The two comforted her," Shh, it's okay Elle, it's over now." Sebastian assured as David rubbed her back. Slowly, her breathing was under control as she looked towards the building, she prayed that she would see Jonathan and Dory again.

~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~

Aaron and Orion were running through the hallways, trying to find Adara, and they were having no luck. Aaron opened another classroom door, only to find that it was empty.

Aaron shook his head, "She's not here Orion."

Orion clenched his fists, his baby sister was somewhere in the school with 2 insane teen shooters and he couldn't find her. Aaron noticed his boyfriend was stressed, "Orion, don't worry, we'll find her."

Orion nodded, "Thanks Aaron." before the couple continued to search the halls.

Eventually, they ended up in one of McKinley's bigger hallways. As they continued to walk around looking for Adara, Orion noticed some movement in the corner of his eye. When he turned, he saw the two shooters. One of them holding a pistol, and aiming for Aaron.

Aaron didn't notice anything as the shooter cocked the gun and slowly squeezed the trigger.

Almost in slow motion, Orion pushed Aaron out of the way. Aaron fell against the lockers, while the Gun-man fired off 3 bullets, all embedding themselves in Orion's back. Orion fell to the ground and Aaron, horrified at what he just saw, "ORION!" he screamed.

Orion looked like he was in serious pain, and looked to be struggling to breathe. Orion's blood was gushing out across the floor, while his face was losing color.

Aaron had tears streaming down his face. Him and Orion finally got around to admitting their feelings for each other, he was Aaron's first boyfriend, first kiss, and now he didn't know what might happen. Aaron didn't know how to handle all of this, and it only made the tears come faster.

"Wh-What do I do?" Aaron mumbled to himself.

He vaguely remembered hearing Damon and Eddy say; "Fucking Queers, those faggots aren't even worth it." under their breath, but it didn't even register at the moment. The two shooters left and walked away from the couple.

Orion coughed up some blood, weakly asking, "A-Aaron? Are you...okay?"

Aaron cried harder, "Why are you asking if I'm okay?! You're the one who got shot!"

Orion just gave a small smile, "I'd rather I'd be hurt than you...that's what a good boyfriend does."

Aaron started sobbing and shaking uncontrollably, muttering, "Why?! If it wasn't for me this wouldn't have happened...it's all my fault..." By this point Orion was starting to lose consciousness, and seemed to be breathing slower. Aaron looked at his boyfriend and clenched his fists while rubbing the tears away. He was done crying and being useless.

Aaron picked up his boyfriend piggy back style and felt Orion's head slump on his shoulder.

"Orion, I'm going to get you out of here, but I can't move very fast while carrying you, so you need to hang in there." Aaron said.

Orion smiled, possibly delusional, "You're really strong Aar."

Aaron shook his head, "No...I'm really not." and started heading toward the exit as fast as he could.

~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~

Emma walked down the hallways cautiously, she helped some students escape the school but she was looking for her husband and children. Every time a gunshot was heard she jumped, hoping it wouldn't be any of her children or her husband.

She continued walking when she suddenly strawberry blonde hair she recognized immediately, hiding in a classroom.

"Adara." She muttered to herself. She tried to open the door but it was locked from the outside. She knocked on the door," Adara it's me. It's your mom!" Emma knocked on the door again desperately.

Adara's face peeked out from the window and she immediately opened the door and hugged her mom," Mom!" Adara sobbed into her mother's chest and Emma nodded.

"Yes honeybee it's me," Emma whispered," My baby," she kissed Adara's head," We need to get out honeybee."

Adara nodded," O-okay."

Emma took her daughter's hand and the two dashed through the hallways until they reached the front door and ran out.

~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~

The police officers immediately went to them and in the corner of Emma's eye she saw a stretcher…and curly hair on the stretcher," Orion." She said to herself. She quickly ran to the paramedics, Adara in tow.

The paramedic stopped her from going any further," Miss you need to step back—"

"—that's my son right there!" Emma yelled.

The paramedic nodded, scared of Emma's fury," Okay Miss go on ahead." Emma went to Orion's side and saw Aaron standing there, his once baby blue dress shirt was now stained purple from Orion's blood.

"Are you okay Aaron?" she asked concerned.

Before he could answer Mercedes and Sam ran over and hugged their son," Oh my god Aaron! Are you okay?" Sam asked.

Aaron nodded," I am. But he's not."

Mercedes hugged him and wiped tears from her eyes," He's going to be okay Aaron." Mercedes assured.

The paramedics lifted Orion's stretcher and placed him in the ambulance. Emma and Adara got on without hesitating. Aaron was about to go on himself but one of the paramedics stopped him," I'm sorry kid but family only."

"That's my boyfriend in there I want to go!" Aaron shouted, trying to get in.

"Kid I'm sorry you can't go!" The paramedic insisted.

Aaron sighed," Look, if it wasn't for me, he wouldn't be in a stretcher right now! SO LET ME GO!" he yelled.

The paramedic looked at him and nodded," Okay go."

Aaron quickly got on," We'll meet you in the hospital Aaron okay?" Mercedes said to him.

Aaron nodded and the ambulance doors closed and the ambulance drove away.

~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~

Malina walked into Vocal Adrenaline rehearsals, everyone was eerily quiet and pacing back and forth. Dani was crying while Angel comforted her. What was going on?

She looked at all the members," What's going on?" she asked.

Everyone looked at her," You haven't heard?" Camille asked.

"Heard what?" Malina asked, she was so confused to what was going on.

"There's a shooting going on…" Henry told her.

"…At McKinley." Camille finished.

Malina stood there in shock, McKinley…shooting…Adrian…Adrian. Without thinking Malina ran out of the auditorium, only to run into Beth in the hallways.

Beth looked at her concerned, "Hey what's happening? Are you okay?"

"McKinley—shooting—I—I…" Malina began to cry and Beth held her as she let the words sink in.

"Wait…what?" there was a shooting where her brothers and sisters go to.

"W-we need to go Beth!" Malina exclaimed.

Beth nodded without hesitation," Let's go."

~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~

Tony walked down the hallways, hearing whispers and students running to the rec room. Tony raised his eyebrow, what was going on? He followed the rest of the boys going to the rec room and sees the TV is on and everyone's watching it.

"There's a shooting going on in William McKinley High School. It appears there are two shooters and they both attend the school. Police officials are doing all they can to stop this tragedy from getting bigger." He heard the reporter from the TV explain.

Tony felt his color drain from his face, shooting? At McKinley? That's where the New Directions attended! And that's where he spent Christmas!...And that's where Delilah was right now.

Hayden suddenly pops up right in front of him, he was clearly freaking out," Tony where's Daniel? I need him to drive me over there! Adeline—she—I—"

Daniel appeared and held out his keys,"—let's go. You coming Tony?" Daniel asked.

Tony turned to him and Hayden and nodded, his friend is there and he was going to make sure she's okay.

~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~

Grayson sat beside Dorothy who was losing more and more blood by the second, he took off his jacket and applied pressure to the wound. Dorothy arched her back in pain and whimpered.

"There's no use in doing that Gray." She told him.

Grayson looked at her, was she being serious?" Don't talk like that, you'll be fine." Dorothy looked so tired and sad and Grayson felt his heart clench uncomfortably at the sight.

"I'm close to it." Dorothy muttered.

"Stop it!" Grayson snapped angrily. "You can't just give up, Dory. Stay awake, keep going."

"I won't be able to," Dorothy warned, bitter. "Sooner or later—"

"—Stop this Dorothy! You're going to be okay! I'm not giving up on you!" Grayson interjected, Grayson softened and looked at her," Please, for me, don't give up. Please." Grayson pleaded.

Dorothy was silent and she looked at him, "Okay," she paused, "I won't let this beat me. For you."

Grayson smiled," There we go."

Dorothy smiled back weakly and the two remained silent. Dorothy slowly starts closing her eyes and Grayson snapped his fingers with his free hand," Dory no! Stay with me! Tell me something. Anything. " Grayson exclaimed.

Dory turned to him; her eyes open again," You have pretty eyes." She said weakly.

Grayson blushed and smiled," Thanks, tell me something else. Come on, um tell me something about Broadway." He told her, trying to keep her awake.

Dorothy struggled to stay awake, "The most common misconception is that some think that because a show is on Broadway, it is automatically a musical. Which isn't true. There are many "straight" plays, or plays that do not break into song, on Broadway." Dorothy told him.

"Fascinating, now tell me how Andrew Lloyd Webbers, "Phantom of the Opera" is the longest running musical in the history of Broadway since it's been running since it started." Grayson said.

Dorothy smiled," You listened."

"I always listen." Grayson replied.

Dorothy blushed, and the two remained silent again," Grayson?"

"Hmm?"

"Can you do me a favor?"

"What is it?"

"I think it will be an experience for me to have, because I am dying, and I'll probably won't be able to keep this up, hard as I'm trying," she addded at Grayson's frown, "and I think, because of the very little time I have here today that maybe it will be an interesting idea if I am able to—" Dorothy rambled.

"—just say it Dory." Grayson interrupts.

"I think…I think we should kiss." Dorothy blurted out, blushing.

Grayson looked at her shocked," You want to kiss? Why?"

"It's on my bucket list." She lied.

Grayson smirked," To kiss me?"

Dorothy blushed," Forget I asked." She said.

"No, no it's okay. It's just a kiss right?" Grayson questioned.

Dorothy looked at him," Uh—yeah, yeah. Just a kiss." She stuttered, feeling herself growing weaker by the second.

Grayson nodded," Okay then." The two looked at each other and Grayson leaned in and planted his lips on hers. Dorothy feelt fireworks and sparks at the kiss. Grayson felt something he never felt with Delilah…sparks.

The two broke away and Dorothy blushed," Um, thanks. For the kiss."

"No problem, that's what friends are for right?" Grayson said lamely.

Before she could anything, her eyes began to close and Grayson snapped his fingers," Dory, Dory stay with me!" he lifted her up bridal-style. As Dorothy's eyes began to close. He started running down the hallways, desperately looking for an exit. He couldn't lose Dorothy.

He ran fast and suddenly heard someone yell, "Wait!"

He turned and saw Jonathan running up to him. Jonathan's eyes looked down to his sister, who would do this to someone like Dorothy? Who would do this to anyone in general?

"Thank you." Jonathan thanked Grayson.

"No problem."

"Let's get out of here." Jonathan said.

Grayson nodded and they saw the exit to the front doors. They ran towards them and pushed the doors open. Paramedics rushed over to the two boys and Dory who was unconscious.

"We're going to help your friend don't worry. Now let go of her." The paramedic said to Grayson.

Grayson softly placed her on the stretcher. David and Sebastian appeared with tears streaming down their face. Their little girl was hurt. Ellie cried into Jonathan's chest and he tried to comfort her. But looked at Dory with scared eyes. He prayed she would be okay.

Artie wheeled over to Grayson and Sugar hugged him," Thank god you're fine." Sugar said as she cried.

"Yeah, but she isn't." he thought to himself.

~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~

Adeline and Scotty hid in the back of the library, behind the bookshelves. There were no exits in the sides of the library; the only way to exit is forward. Scotty was breathing loudly and panicky, so Adeline had her hand over her mouth.

"Shh." Adeline told her.

Suddenly footsteps walked in the library and Scotty freaked out even more," If anyone's in here! Come out right now! We're going to blow this library up!" Damon yelled.

In the front of the library, a girl came out, thinking they'd let her go. She was wrong, the moment she got up, they shot her 3 times in the head and she fell to the ground. Dead. Scotty whimpered and Adeline looked at her, her expressions saying to relax.

The shooters walked more to the back of the library, looking between desks where other students hid and were shot," Any more?" Damon called out.

There was silence. They passed by the shelves they were hiding in, Adeline covering Scotty's mouth more as her breathing got more panicky. Adeline and Scotty heard steps retreating back, their steps were faint now. Adeline and Scotty stood up from behind the bookshelves and let out a sigh of relief," That was close." Adeline told her.

"Think again." The shooters appeared and Damon pointed his gun to Scotty, and in a split second, Adeline stepped in front of her and two shots rang out. Adeline stood there and then looked down to see blood pouring down her shirt. Blood…the thought of it made her sick since she couldn't stand the sight of blood. She fell back and looked to be in serious pain, and she looked as if she couldn't breathe.

"ADELINE!" Scotty screeched, kneeling beside her as Adeline coughed up blood. Damon began to laugh at the girl's pain and the other girl's guilt.

Eddy came up next to him, "Let's go." Eddy told Damon and the two left.

Scotty started crying as she saw Adeline on the ground," Those bullets were meant for me Adeline! Why did you—why did you do that?" Scotty said as she cried.

Adeline tried to say something—anything, "I-I c-couldn't let…them do that to you…"

Scotty sobbed, she felt so helpless. She didn't know what to do. She took off her blazer, she had to do something. She applied pressure where Adeline had been shot, and Adeline whimpered from the pain.

Scotty hoped someone would come in the library and help them—help Adeline.

~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~

Delilah hid inside the dance studio. 2 seconds. If she would've gone out of this room 2 seconds earlier, she'd be dead. The shooting started right in front of her. Warm blood spattered in her face when she opened the door to go to glee. She immediately locked the door and hid. She wondered how her friends were? Were they alive? Dead? She closed her eyes; she didn't want to think about the number of funerals she'd have to go to.

Thump!

Delilah turned her head towards the door; someone was trying to get in. Her breathing became heavy. What was she going to do?

"Whoever's in there, get ready to die!" she heard a voice exclaim.

Her face turned pale as she looked around.

Thump!

Her eyes spotted the window and she ran towards it, using all her strength to open it.

Thump!

The window flew open and Delilah looked down, she was on the second floor…she couldn't just jump down!

Thump!

Thump!

Delilah looked towards the door and then back down…the fall wouldn't kill her. But it would hurt.

Suddenly a gunshot rang out and Delilah jumped, she climbed onto the window and looked down.

"Don't think Delilah, just jump." Delilah thought to herself.

Another shot rang out and the door opened. Delilah closed her eyes and jumped.

~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~

Ethan and Oliver hid in the boy's locker room. While they ran to escape, they ran into each other. And they hid in here.

"I can't believe this is happening." Ethan mumbled.

"Neither can I." Oliver said.

A shot rang out and the two jumped," Are we going to make it out?" Ethan asked.

Oliver shrugged his shoulders," I can't answer that question."

"I just…I want to open my eyes and this was all a dream. I wake up in my bed and none of this happened." Ethan sighed.

"But it did. And who knows how many people are dead." Oliver replied, hoping his sisters or Adara wasn't one of them.

"I can't stay here any longer. I'm leaving," Ethan stood up and walked towards the door," You either come with me or stay."

Oliver thought for a moment and then stood up," Let's go."

The two opened the door and looked out the hallways, it was empty, bodies sprawled on the floor, motionless.

The two started walking down the hallways and then took off running.

Suddenly the shooters walked down the hallway their guns aimed at Oliver and Ethan," RUN!" Ethan screamed and they began running, bullets flying. They ran as fast as they could. As fast as their legs could take them. You could hear bullets aimed toward them but they managed to barely dodge them. They saw an exit and run towards it.

Oliver pushed the door open and bullets rang out and they're outside.

Ethan and Oliver touched their bodies to see if they were hurt. They were fine. Ethan let out a breath, they almost died.

"Never thought I'd feel like I'm in a movie." Oliver spoke up.

Ethan let out a small chuckle," Never thought we'd be in this mess to begin with."

The two walked towards the front of the school and in the blink of an eye, Mike, Tina, Finn, Rachel, and Cheryl came running towards them. The 3 Hudsons' present hugged Oliver tightly and cried. Mike and Tina hugged Ethan so tight. They felt relieved that he was safe. They walked back to the police barricade. Hell wasn't over just yet.

They watched as some students or faculty walked out of the building, some injured and others unscathed. Even Ben, Alex, and Sam got out, all safe. Marley and Jake hugged their kids' as if they haven't seen them in a thousand years.

Some watched the scene jealously since either their kids were injured or they haven't even come out yet.

Beth and Malina suddenly appeared. Malina an emotional wreck and Beth trying to put on a brave face. Puck turned and his eyes widened to see Beth there.

"Beth…what—what are you doing here?" Puck asked.

Beth pursed her lips," I heard what happened and I had to come. They're my siblings. I can't pretend I don't care." Beth replied.

Puck smiled softly while Nikki simply nodded to her, she wasn't forgiving yet.

Hell isn't over, it's just begun.

~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~

Aidan and Adrian hid under the tables in the classroom they've been in since the first shots rang out. Aidan was freaking out while Adrian tried to remain brave.

"Aidan calm down. We'll be okay. Just calm down because if you freak out, I'll freak out." Adrian told him.

Aidan nodded slowly," O-Okay."

Adrian nodded and the two remained silent, suddenly Adrian's phone started vibrating. She took it out of her pocket and Malina's picture appeared on the screen. She was calling her.

Adrian answered the phone," I'm okay if that's why you're calling me."

She could hear Malina laugh lightly as she sniffed," Thank god you're okay. I-I'm so scared and I don't know what to do. I feel so useless and the damn police won't let me through."

"I'll be fine. Just remain calm. I love you." Adrian told her.

"I love you too."

The door burst open and Damon and Eddy entered," Guess who?" Eddy smiled deviously. The two walked towards them.

Adrian and Aidan both grew pale in fear.

"Adrian? Adrian what's going on?" Malina said through the phone, panic and fear coming over her.

Damon walked towards Adrian and snatched her phone away and put it on his ear," She's about to die."

And a shot rang out.

~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~

Mason ran around the hallways, he was looking for his siblings, for his girlfriend, and for Adeline…but he had no such luck finding any of them.

He suddenly reached the third floor, he saw all the bodies sprawled out on the floor, and most of them were dead— or about to be. He suddenly saw a body move and groan in pain. Long, brown locks, tanned complexion—slowly draining from its color. But then he realized what the girl had on, a necklace that said Saphirra…

"Saphirra…" he ran towards the girl, and moved the bodies out of her way and kneeled next to her," Saphirra, baby…how did this—why did this—I—"

Saphirra lifted her hand to caress his cheek," They st-started shooting everywhere. They—they hit my chest." Saphirra struggled to tell him.

Mason felt his eyes sting," Don't worry, I'm going to get you out." Mason was about to carry the girl when she grabbed his hand.

"Don't, it's not worth it…I won't make it." Saphirra whispered.

Mason shook his head," Don't think that…you're going to be okay. You're going to be okay!"

"They hit my chest Mase, even if I got medical help, it wouldn't change anything—"

"—Stop. I-I'm not going to lose you Saph. Not now." Mason interjected.

"It's too late Mason…just let go." Saphirra told him, blood poured out of her chest. A lot of it. She was going to bleed out for sure.

Mason cried and placed his face on her stomach as he cried," I'm—I'm so sorry." He muffled through her blood-stained uniform.

Saphirra placed her hand on his head and ran her hands through his hair, just like she always did," It's okay Mason. "

The two remained quiet. Mason cried while Saphirra slowly began to die.

"I want to tell you something." Saphirra spoke up.

Mason looked up," What is it?"

"I'm—I'm sorry for being such a bitch to you lately. I was scared of losing you. And I'm sorry. I was such a bitch to you and Adeline. I was jealous because you looked at her the way you use to look at me." Saphirra said, squinting her eyes from the pain.

Mason shook his head," It's okay. It's okay. I'm sorry for doing that to you. To you and her. I hurt the both of you…"

Saphirra took Mason's hand and squeezed it," It's okay. But I want you to do something for me now."

Mason squeezed her hand," What is it?"

"Be with her. Be with the girl you love. Be with Adeline." Saphirra told him, she honestly knew he loved Adeline and she accepted that now.

Mason looked at her surprised," Saphirra I—"

"—you know you love her Mason. "

Mason looked away," But you're my first love—"

"—exactly. I'm your first love. But Adeline could be your true love. Be with her Mason. Love her. Protect her. Care for her. How you how you were with me, do it with her. "Saphirra closed her eyes and opened them. The pain was becoming unbearable.

Tears streamed down Mason's face, "Saphirra…"

Saphirra looked at him with pleading eyes as she made her one of her last requests, "Promise me Mason. Promise me you'll be with her and you love her with all your might. Promise me."

Mason cried as he watched his first love slowly slip away," I promise." He said in almost a whisper.

Saphirra smiled softly," Thank you. Now, can—can you kiss me one last time?" she asked, making her last request.

Mason nodded, of course he would. He leaned in and softly kissed Saphirra's lips. He would never kiss her like that again. He broke the kiss and he just kneeled next to her, holding her in his arms as she slowly slipped away from him.

"I love you. Don't forget that." Saphirra whispered, feeling herself starting to drain away.

Mason cried, holding her tighter," I love you too."

Saphirra smiled and then her eyes closed, and her head tilted back. Dead.

Mason held her tighter as he cried, Saphirra. His first love. First kiss. His first…gone. All because of a bullet. All because of this day.

~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~

Keegan dashed through the hallways, after looking for Scotty all over, he remembered where she last said she would be, the library. Keegan could swear he ran faster than he had in a lifetime. He just wanted to see Scotty. Alive and well.

~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~

Scotty sobbed as Adeline tried to stay awake but her eyes kept wanting to close, "Adeline stay awake please!"

Adeline's eyes opened," I…I can't." Adeline murmured, her eyes shutting.

Scotty applied more pressure on the wound, though her sweater was full of Adeline's blood. Adeline's eyes closed and Scotty's eyes widened.

"No, no, no, no, no! Adeline wake up! Wake up!" Scotty shook Adeline but her eyes wouldn't open," Please…" Scotty pleaded, her voice cracking.

She heard footsteps approaching towards them," Scotty!" she heard her name being called out.

"Keegan…" she said to herself, she turned around," Keegan!" she called out to him.

Keegan heard Scotty's voice and felt relief, he followed her voice and walked until he reached the back of the library.

"Oh dear god…" Keegan whispered to himself as he saw Adeline lying on the ground with blood, a lot of it.

Scotty turned around, "Keegan…"her voice sounded vulnerable.

Keegan walked up to her and kneeled next to her and Adeline. Keegan hugged Scotty," Shh, it's okay. It's over now, I got you."

Scotty wiped the tears off her eyes," Adeline needs help. We need to get out of here."

Keegan nodded and carefully picked up Adeline, she looked so vulnerable in his arms. Keegan looked at Scotty and nodded, and the three left the library.

~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~

Will walked down the hallways, looking for any kids still remaining in the building. He suddenly felt someone grab his shoulder and he turned, ready to attack if he needed to.

"Relax Schuester it's me." Jeanette said.

Will sighed," Okay, okay sorry," He looked at her," You should get out Jeanette, it's not safe."

"I'm a teacher Will, I'm not leaving. It's my priority to help these kids." Jeanette told him.

Will nodded," Very well, stick with me then."

Jeanette nodded and they jogged down the hallways.

~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~

Adrian and Aidan were scared for their lives. Damon had shot the ceiling to get them scared which worked.

"Why are you doing this?" Adrian spoke up, looking at the two teen shooters.

The two turned to her," You're really asking that question? This is our revenge! All the hell we've been put through for the past 3 years, now it's your turn." Damon replied.

"So your revenge is to kill innocent teens that did nothing to you?" Adrian asked, she doesn't know why she's doing this. She's only angering them more, and if she keeps talking it might get her killed. But she's not scared.

The two turned red with anger," EVERYONE IS TO BLAME!" Eddy yelled," NOBODY STOOD UP FOR US! NO ONE! EVERYONE DESERVES TO DIE!"

"You're cowards," Adrian said, "You're the ones who are at fault here. You let the bullies get away with this. You let them bring you down and hurt you every day, and you can't even take it. Aidan's been bullied since he started high school by numerous of bullies. Getting slushie facials every day and being made fun of, and he just took it and kept going. He held his head up after every single slushie or mean comment towards him and never let it get to him. You could've talked to Mrs. Schuester, joined a club, a sport, something to get you through and you didn't. High school isn't forever. You just hid built up all this anger and became cowards who didn't stand up to them."

Adrian's conscience kept telling her to shut up because there are two armed teens ready to shoot. But she didn't listen. Aidan sent her a look to just stay quiet but she didn't listen as well.

The two scowled and looked at her angrily, "We wouldn't have to stand up to anyone if they didn't bully us. Stop trying to blame us here when really it's you! I should just kill you now." Damon said, raising his gun up.

~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~

The group of officers and the SWAT team walk to the front door of McKinley High, where two officers start forward, the eyes and ears of the group. This wouldn't end until the two boys were either caught or killed. They won't instigate an attack unless the boys do first. It isn't rocket science though. They have bulletproof vests. The boys' are surely armed from the gunshots heard.

Some of the team hovered near doors outside, efficiently securing exits.

While waiting for the announcement, Darrell sees at least a dozen bodies of deceased teenagers, sporting a violent shade of red against their clothes. He sighed. Violence was never the answer to anything, and they were answering it by killing innocent lives.

"Clear," one officer hissed, peering down the hallway. Darrell points.

"Three left, three right, two stay here by the door, and the rest with me. Once you clear this floor, return here and we'll start clearing the classrooms, one by one. Stay alert, do not engage the boys. Try to reason with them, and if they fires first, you have permission to respond. Yes?"

"Yes sir." Many voices chorused and Darrell nodded and walked with the men he had.

Darrell and his team were dashing through the hallways secretly, going classroom by classroom until they reached one.

"Check her pulse." Darrell commanded one of his officers. The officer nodded and checked the girl's pulse.

The officer nodded," She's alive."

"Take her out to get medical help. Now." Darrell commanded the officer.

The officer nodded and picked up the Latina, who was bleeding from her shoulder and thigh, and took her out of the building.

It took the team ten minutes to clear the first floor, and all reassemble near the front entrance of McKinley.

~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~

Adrian shuts her eyes and waited for the bullet to fire but it never came.

"Wait Damon, I think I hear someone," Eddy looked out the door and sees there's cops coming in," Shit! Damon the cops are getting closer!"

Damon cursed and grabbed Adrian," Take the boy and go outside. "

Eddy nodded and grabbeds Aidan forcefully," Let him go! He didn't do anything!" Adrian exclaimed.

Damon hit her with the end of the gun hard that she felt blood pouring down her face," Shut up!" he looked at Eddy, " let the kid go."

Aidan looked at Adrian, he doesn't want to leave her here with them," Go," Eddy told Aidan. Aidan remained still, looking at Adrian," I said go kid," Eddy said again more forcefully," GO!"

Adrian nodded," It's okay, go. I'll be fine."

Aidan shook his head," I'm staying. I'm staying with you."

Damon scoffed and walked up to the boy, hitting him three times with the end of his gun hard. Causing Aidan to bleed a lot, "Well look at that, someone wants to put on his big boy pants. Stay then, we're about to put a little show for our audience outside anyway."

~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~

Santana paced back and forth, Gabe trying to comfort her. Keegan and Adrian were still in there. And she didn't know whether or not they were alive or not. Rowan had come out being carried, and Brittany had left with her. She possibly could end up with only one child—but she wasn't going to think that, she wasn't.

Suddenly a window opened and a gunshot was heard to get everyone's attention and everyone turned towards the window.

Adrian appeared and Damon behind her, the gun aimed at her head. Santana's eyes widened and she started sobbing. This was not happening. This was not happening! Then, another window opened with Eddy holding Aidan the same way Adrian was being held. His eyes scared, yet holding strong. Harmony started crying as she saw her son—on the brink of being shot or not. Rory held Harmony as tears streamed down his blue eyes.

"We have two people held hostage! If you don't want me to shoot their brains out, tell the cops to leave the building right now!" Damon shouted.

Malina started crying as she saw Adrian, she had a busted lip and a purple eye and a large cut in her cheek. Yet she maintained that brave face.

Aidan had a swollen eye and a large cut on his cheek, also maintaining his brave face.

The two shooters shut their windows and they disappeared. The cops began talking through their radios to the officers inside. Everyone was chaotic. When would this end?

~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~

The team had heard the message and now needed to be even more careful on their actions. They cautiously walked through the hallways. Suddenly seeing 3 teenagers, one of them being carried and bleeding.

"Jesus Christ," an officer mumbled before he could stop himself.

"We'll take care of your friend," Darrell said kindly. One man strides past and scooped Adeline up in his arms. Adeline looks frail and vulnerable in the officer's embrace. Keegan hesitantly wants to get Adeline back but he knows she's better with the officer. The officer carrying Adeline disappeared into the hallway to bring her to an ambulance.

Darrell turned to another officer," Escort them out of here." The officer nodded and led the other 2 teens out of the building.

Darrell sighed, he wanted this to end already.

~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~

Will and Jeanette walked down the hallways cautiously checking some classrooms to see if there were any students, which there were some that the two told to leave immediately.

They reached suddenly the classroom where Adrian and Aidan were being held captive and stopped dead in their tracks.

Adrian and Aidan looked at them and they looked so vulnerable and scared but they kept their brave face.

Damon and Eddy turned to them and scowled," Don't try to open the door!" Eddy yelled, pointing the gun at them.

Jeanette and Will raised their hands in surrender and Eddy opened the door," Get in." the two walked in, their hands still raised.

"Trying to be the heroes huh?" Damon questioned, the gun still in Adrian's head. Eddy walked back to Aidan and held the gun to his head again.

"We just want to help you. You need to stop this. It's over. The cops are inside and they'll detain you." Will said calmly.

"If you wanted to help us, you would've a long time ago! " Eddy exclaimed.

"And we're sorry, but you need to stop now. This girl and this boy did nothing to you. Let them go." Jeanette said.

Damon pulled Adrian closer to him," Everyone did something to me! They did nothing! They let the bullies bully us and they just watched and laughed! Well it's my turn to laugh." He cocked the gun.

Adrian whimpered and closed her eyes, waiting for the bullet.

"Damon the cops are getting closer," Eddy turned to him," It's time."

Will, Jeanette, Aidan, and Adrian looked confused at the two teens. Damon nodded, "Great...the cops are finally here. Guess my time is up."

He pushed Adrian away and Eddy pushed Aidan away as well. Will tried to grab the two but Damon pointed the gun at him, "Don't," he turned Adrian towards him and Eddy did the same to Aidan," I want you to watch. I want you four to watch. Watch us do our grand finale. If you don't watch we'll shoot you all before we shoot ourselves, and don't think we won't do it!"

"Guys don't do this—" Will tried to reason.

"—SHUT UP! Now watch!" Damon exclaimed.

Will and Jeanette gulped as the two boys put the gun on their heads; Adrian and Aidan looked scared through it all, but did as told and watched.

The two looked at the four and then pulled their triggers. Adrian felt warm blood splash over her face and clothes and body and she jumped. She can never get that out of her mind. Ever.

Aidan's entire body was filled with Eddy's blood. He can't ever get that out his mind. It will forever haunt him. In his dreams and in his mind.

The two boys were on the floor, blood pouring out of their head. It's over.

Will grabbed Adrian who's shaken up over the whole ordeal. And Jeanette helps Aidan up, his eyes still fixated on Eddy. The cops barged the door open and looked at the four and then at the dead bodies on the floor.

Darrell grabbed his talkie," They're dead. The shooters are dead. It's safe to come in."

"Roger that." The talkie replied.

"Are you guys okay?" Darrell asked.

"We are but the girl and boy need to get medical help. They have big cuts on their cheek." Will said.

Darrell nodded," Come with me."

Ambulance crews searched for wounded kids and staff; coroners examined bodies on the floors.

Darrell offered his hand to Adrian, as if to lead her from the scene and everything in it. Adrian wishes it could be that easy. She'll never forget this day. Nobody will.

"It's all right," Darrell said soothingly, "You're safe. It's over now."

His expression betrays him, she observed. He looked slightly disturbed, even alarmed. Of them. And she and Aidan knows it. The four of them walk out of the classroom.

"It'll never be over," Aidan thought as they walked out of the building, "Never."

Aidan and Adrian noticed Darrell looking at them—repulsed, stricken, as he stared at the grotesque condition of them and their uniform—and walked with him outside.

Outside, Santana, Gabe, and Keegan ran to Adrian and ignore the blood on her and hugged her, "It's okay. It's over now. You're okay." Santana comforted her.

"It's over. But it's not okay. It'll never be okay." Adrian thought to herself.

Harmony and Rory hug –ignoring the blood. Aidan's staring out into nothing; he can't get the image out of his mind.

Everybody looked at them, gawking at their condition. Blood all over them. Adrian and Aidan can't face anyone—not even their family, but knows even they're gawking too. Everyone's just looking and watching and staring at them—why were they suddenly the center of all attention?

Both Aidan and Adrian felt the heavy, warm blood on themselves, like a second skin—it mocked them, like a tattoo that won't fade entirely.

They tasted it too—the blood—it lingered around their mouth and they gagged uncontrollably.

"Don't worry!" Darrell assured their family and friends. "It's not their blood!"

Adrian fell to the pavement and vomited, she couldn't hold it in anymore. This. Everything repulsed her. Santana kneeled next to her as she held Adrian's hair from her face, ignoring the sticky blood smearing on her hands.

"It's okay, it's okay it's over now." Santana assured.

Adrian shook her head," It's not. It's not over because I remember!" Adrian exclaimed.

Santana looked at her sympathetically," Come on, let's go. We need to get you to a doctor." Santana helped her daughter up and the 4 go over to an ambulance.

Aidan looked at her and Adrian looked at him, No one will forget this day. Ever.

~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~

When the officers, the paramedics, and the coroners reached the third floor, they see a boy. Holding a cold, dead corpse in his arms. He's staring out into nothing. His eyes lost, sad, and angry.

One of the officers walked up to him," Son, are you okay? Are you injured?"

"I'm not injured, but I wish I was. And I'll never be okay. Ever." Mason thought to himself.

Mason shook his head," I'm fine."

The officer nodded," Okay, the coroner needs to take your friend. He needs to inspect her." The officer explained.

Mason looked down on Saphirra, her body cold and lifeless. Never again will he see her smile, or hear her laughter. Or feel her kiss. Never. Because of this day. A tear dropped down his cheek, he doesn't want to let her go. But he knows he has to.

His arms slowly placed Saphirra on the floor, and he let out a sob. He can't believe she's gone. The officer placed his hand on Mason's shoulder," You're doing a good job kid. Come on, let's get out of here." The officer helped the boy up and walked down the hallways. Mason turned his head and a coroner is inspecting Saphirra's body. He held back the tears and turned around.

"Goodbye love…" he thought to himself.

~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~

Delilah was lying unconscious behind the bushes. She had cuts and bruises all over her. And her foot was twisted in some weird way. The fall had been a hard fall. And the fall knocked her out unconscious.

The officers above her were looking around the dance studio to see if there were any bodies. But instead they saw an open window.

"Oh dear god…" one of the officers trailed off and they jogged over to the window and looked down. Seeing Delilah lying there.

He called over one of his officer and instructed him to get paramedics and get the girl. The officer nodded and ran outside and paramedics took an unconscious Delilah and off for treatment.

~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~

The hospital was chaotic. There were doctors and nurses all over the place. Along with stretchers being brought in with injured teenagers. Some of them hanging by a thread.

Everyone was in the waiting room some pacing back and forth. Rachel was crying into Finn's chest, her little girl was once again fighting for her life.

Emma cried while Will paced back and forth. Will sat down next to Emma," Emma calm down—"

"—how do you expect me to calm down Will?" Emma exclaimed," Our son is in critical condition and you expect me to calm down?! I can't lose him Will! I don't want to lose him like I lost our first two children!" she exclaimed, remembering the first two babies she miscarried.

Will sighed and hugged Emma, comforting her best the best he could.

Santana turned to Jake and Marley who were in the waiting room to support their friends," Why are you two here? You can go home; you don't have kids that are hanging by a thread!" Santana spat looking at Tina and Mike, Sugar and Artie, Harmony and Rory, and Kurt and Blaine. The 5 looked down sadly.

"Santana!" Brittany looked at Santana," They're here to support us!"

"Well you know what? Them being here only makes me feel worse! My youngest daughter got shot twice! And my oldest daughter was part of a hostage situation and watched two kids kill themselves! Their kids are safe and untouched while we have to wait here to see whether our kid lives or not!" Santana yelled.

Quinn stood up," You're not the only one hurt Santana! My son was shot and my daughter is missing! How do you think I feel?" Quinn exclaimed, the police had told them they searched the entire building but Delilah wasn't found.

Rachel looked at them, "My daughter had to go through cancer before this and now she's fighting for her life! How do you expect me to react?" Rachel exclaimed.

Everyone began fighting with each other, until Will stood up and looked at them," Everyone quiet!" he yelled loudly, everyone quieted down and looked at him," Enough now! Fighting isn't going to help with anything! We all need to calm down! Everyone's a mess as it is and this is helping now stop!" Will told them all. Everyone took a seat and quieted down.

A doctor came in suddenly and walked towards them," Who here is guardian to Rowan and Adrianna Lopez-Pierce?" Santana and Brittany stood up immediately and walked towards the doctor.

"We are." Brittany said.

"Your daughter Adrianna sustained minor injuries. Just a couple of stitches for her cheek. She's all cleaned up now and she's fine." The doctor told them.

They let out a sigh of relief as did Malina who was with Beth and they were leaning against a wall.

"And your daughter Rowan lost a lot of blood but we managed to get the bullets out and she's recovering in her room. She'll be fine." The doctor said.

Santana and Brittany nodded," Can we see Rowan and Adrian?"

The doctor nodded," Adrian's in Room 215 and Rowan in 216." Santana, Brittany, Gabe, and Keegan quickly walked towards the rooms to see the two. Malina wanted to go but she felt out of place to do so.

"Now, who here is Connor Puckerman's guardians?" the doctor called out.

Quinn and Puck stood up and walked towards the doctor, "How is he?"

"He's fine. The bullet was able to be taken out but he will require physical therapy. But your son will be fine." The doctor assured.

Quinn and Pucks sighed in relief. Beth did as well. But they were still worried as to where Delilah was.

"He's in room 248 if you want to see him." The doctor told them. Emily was glad to know that Connor was okay.

They immediately went to the room, Nikki in tow. Beth remained where she was though. She couldn't bring herself to go.

"Dorothy Smythe-Karofsky's guardians?" the doctor called out.

The Smythe-Karofsky's walked to the doctor, "Is she okay? Is our Dory okay?" David asked worriedly.

"We were able to get the bullet out. Though she lost a lot of blood so we almost lost her. But she'll be okay—it will take a while for her to recover. She's in room 212." The doctor explained.

The Smythe-Karofsky's nodded gratefully and dashed to Dorothy's room to see her. Grayson was relieved to know she was okay. He cared a lot about the girl.

Harmony and Rory walked up to the doctor," What about our son Aidan Flanagan? Is he okay?" Rory asked.

The doctor looked through his clipboard and nodded," Sustained minor injuries. He's in room 213." The two nodded and walked to the room to see their son.

The doctor sighed," Orion Schuester's guardians?"

Will, Emma, Adara, and Aaron walked over to him," I don't know how to say this but, he was shot 3 times in the back—one of the bullets hit a lung. He lost a lot of blood so his blood sugar is low. Right now, the next 24 hours are crucial. Expect the worst. I'm very sorry."

Emma cried in Will's arms and Adara cried into Aaron's. Aaron held back tears; those bullets should've been for him…

"You can see him but he isn't awake. We have tubes on him so he can breathe. He's in Intensive Care in room 315." The doctor said.

Adara, Will, and Emma walked to Intensive Care. Adara turned to Aaron," Well aren't you coming?" Adara asked.

Aaron shook his head," I'll wait." Adara nodded and caught up to her parents.

The doctor licked his lips nervously," Um, Adeline Hudson's guardians?"

The Hudsons walked towards the doctor," Is she okay?" Rachel asked desperately.

The doctor sighed," she was shot twice in the stomach and it opened one of her intestines, causing internal bleeding. They're still working on her and we almost lost her twice. Expect the worst I'm so sorry."

Rachel sobbed into Finn's chest. While Finn held Rachel from falling to the ground, tears pouring down his cheeks. His little Birdy…Cheryl cried into Oliver's shoulder while Oliver cried into hers.

From behind them, Scotty sobbed, those bullets were meant for her. She should be the one on the brink of death. Not Adeline!

The room was quiet until Mason was escorted in by an officer to the waiting room. Mason looked at the officer," I know these people here. Thanks though, for everything."

The officer nodded," No problem, hang in there kid. And I'm sorry about your friend."

Mason felt his heart ache at remembering Saphirra," I am too."

The officer looked at him sympathetically and walked away. Mason took a seat next to Scotty and looked all around, there were only few New Directions and parents, where were the rest? And where were his parents and siblings? And Adeline? He didn't see her around.

Mason turned to Scotty," Where's everyone?"

Scotty wiped the tears from her eyes," They're seeing their kids. Some of our friends were injured—including your brother. And Delilah's missing."

Mason nodded, wanting to see his brother and worried about Delilah. But his parents were there right now so he didn't want to interrupt. Now, he just felt like looking for his sister.

"Where's Adeline?" Mason asked. Scotty remained quiet and looked away, not wanting to tell Mason of Adeline's condition," Where's Adeline Scotty? Please tell me." Mason pleaded.

Scotty turned to him and tears poured down her cheeks," She's in surgery. They shot her twice in the stomach. They don't know if she's going to make it…" Scotty told him.

Mason felt his fists tighten and a he lump on his throat. They took his Saphirra away, and now they Adeline's on the brink of death as well?

"Please tell me this is all a dream. That tomorrow, I'll wake up and school's school, not a warzone. And that everyone I know won't possibly die, and the ones I lost today will be with the same smiles they always had. Please tell me that Scotty." Mason pleaded, putting his hands on his face.

Scotty placed her hand on his shoulder," I wish I could Mase, I wish I could." Scotty felt tears fall down her cheeks again.

Suddenly Hayden, Tony, and Daniel came walking in the waiting room. They'd gone to the school but the shooting was over by the time they got to Lima.

Mason glared at Hayden while Aaron to Daniel," What the fuck are you doing here?" they said at the same time. To different people of course.

Hayden looked at Mason; he'd never met the guy. Only at Sectionals but the two didn't even glance at each other," To see if my girlfriend's here." Hayden replied calmly.

Mason stood up," Well if you would've gotten here sooner you would know she's in surgery right now! She got shot twice in the stomach and they don't know if she's going to make it!"

Finn stood up and looked at Mason," Mason calm down…" Finn told him, but Mason ignored him.

Hayden's eyes widened," W-what? I would've—I would've gotten here sooner but I've come all the way from Westerville—"

Mason scoffed,"—there's something called speeding bitch!"

Hayden looked at him with a dirty look," What the hell is wrong with you? You don't even know me!"

"I know you're a pretty crappy boyfriend!" Mason yelled.

Finn stepped in between the two," You two stop! Fighting isn't going to solve anything. Now stop this or get out!" Finn exclaimed. The two sent each other dirty looks and sat down in opposite directions.

Aaron approached Daniel, not wanting to cause a big commotion like Mason and Hayden did," What the hell are you doing here?"

"I drove them over here because they asked me to…and I wanted to see you." Daniel replied calmly.

Aaron rolled his eyes," Well I don't want to see you." Aaron said and he walked away from the senior.

Tony walked over to Malina and Beth who were surprised to see him," Tony what are you doing here?" Malina asked.

"Daniel and Hayden wanted to come so I tagged along. I wanted to see if Delilah was around but I haven't seen her, where is she?" Tony asked.

Malina and Beth sent each other a look. Beth certainly didn't want to say her sister was missing," Tony…she's missing. They couldn't find her inside the school. "Malina told him calmly.

Tony felt a lump in his throat, she was missing? "Wha—what? But…I was just talking to her this morning."

"I know, but they assume she was either killed and hidden or she escaped the school." Malina replied. She could see Beth look down, wanting to hide the tears.

Tony stepped back, his head was spinning. Delilah couldn't possibly be dead. Who would want to kill someone as sweet as her? This was all too much for him.

Malina put her arm around Tony," They'll find her Tony…don't worry."

Tony really wanted to believe his sister but he couldn't. He nodded to her and simply waited. Waited for any news.

Puck came walking back to the waiting room, when he saw Mason sitting there he quickly ran to his son," Mason!" he hugged his son who simply stared at the ground," You're alive! Thank god!" Puck exclaimed. Mason wished he wasn't though.

Suddenly the same doctor came back in the waiting room," Is anyone related to or guardian of Delilah Puckerman?" the doctor called out. Tony's ears perked up and looked at the doctor. Grayson's ear perked up as well, wanting to hear the news of his girlfriend.

Puck stood up and walked to the doctor," I'm her father, why? Did you find her?" Puck asked hopefully.

The doctor nodded," Police officers found her behind some bushes. They think she may have fallen from the second floor. She sustained some injuries. But not major ones. She sprained her ankle quite badly but she didn't break it so she'll be fine. She's awake now and you can see her, she's in room 220." Puck nodded and looked at Mason.

"Are you coming Mase?" Puck asked.

Mason nodded and stood up. Puck then looked at Beth," Hey Beth, do you want to see your sister?" Puck asked.

Beth looked up and nodded, she wanted to make sure Delilah was okay. She felt more comfortable around Puck than Quinn. She had said some very harsh words to her and she couldn't even look at her in the eye. The 3 left and went to Delilah's room to see her.

The doctor walked to the Hudsons," Mr. and Mrs. Hudson?" The doctor spoke up.

Finn and Rachel stood up," Yes? Is she okay now?" Finn and Rachel asked desperately.

The doctor shook his head," She just got out of surgery but she's in very critical condition. The next 24 hours are very crucial on her. Don't get your hopes up. I'm sorry. She's unconscious but she's in room 316 if you'd like to see her."

Rachel cried in Finn's chest while Cheryl and Oliver cried on each other's shoulder. They hoped to whoever was up there that Adeline would make it. The 4 walked to the intensive care unit where Adeline was. This day would end eventually, but not for those who were there. This day will never end.

~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~

After Brittany, Santana, Keegan, and Gabe left Adrian's room. Adrian was all alone. She didn't say one word to them. Nothing. She just stared out at the window and looked outside. She didn't have Damon's blood on her anymore. But she could swear she still felt in on her. In her mind, it's always going to be stained on her. The events that happened today repeated in her head, from beginning to end. Like a never ending movie. A horror movie.

The door opened and Malina walked in, she had to see Adrian. She just wanted to see for herself that she was okay and she could calm down at least a little.

"Hey." Malina greeted, sitting on Adrian's bed. Adrian said nothing and continued staring out the window. Malina looked at her sympathetically," I-I wanted to make sure you were okay. But I can see physically you are, but mentally and emotionally you aren't."

Adrian said nothing still but agreed with what Malina said, she was scarred.

Malina bit her lip," If you want me to leave, I'll go. I'd understand if you want to be alone." Malina stood up to leave, only to have her hand grabbed by Adrian.

"Don't. Please stay with me." Adrian said in the lowest of voices.

Malina nodded," I'll stay the whole night if you want me to."

Adrian nodded," Please." She whispered.

Malina nodded and sat on Adrian's bed, holding her hand to show her she wasn't leaving. And she wasn't. The two were just quiet. Holding each other's hands. That was enough for them.

~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~

Aaron sat on a chair next to a sleeping Orion. The only sounds in the room are the steady breathing from the 2 and the various machines hooked up to Orion.

It was around 3 in the morning, and other than the parents of the teens injured, everyone else had left. But Aaron refused to sleep. He felt so guilty over this. Orion would've been fine if he hadn't been around, or at least that's what he kept telling himself.

The window let it a soft white glow into the room and Aaron kept looking at the moon feeling depressed. He wished it was him in that bed, not Orion; he didn't deserve any of this.

Aaron's eyes drifted over to the unconscious Orion, his curls still curly and his face looked very calm and relaxed. Aaron tried to block out the image of Orion when he was bleeding in the floor of the school, with no luck. He looked at Orion's face, a deep regret settling in his stomach like a rock.

"Do you remember when you called me strong at school earlier?" He asked Orion, obviously not expecting an answer, but just wanting to talk, "We'll I'm not," he continued, "I'm not strong, or brave, or any other front I put up," he said bringing himself down . Orion snored softly, making Aaron smile, if only for about 3 seconds, "I guess I'll always be that same shy kid you met 3 years ago huh?"

A 13 year old Aaron stood at the door to this stranger's house. He and his parents had just moved from L.A to Lima, Ohio. Aaron had always heard stories from his parents about it, but that doesn't mean he was too happy to move here.

The door opened and Mr. Schue, curly as ever, opened the door, a huge smile came on his face, "Mercedes! Sam! I haven't seen you guys in forever!" Then he looked down and smiled, "I'm guessing this is your son?"

Mercedes smiled while Sam rubbed Aaron's hair,"Yup! My own blood, Aaron Michael Evans" Sam said. Mr. Schue shook Aaron's hand, and they were invited inside.

Mr. Schue then introduced Aaron to his wife Emma, and his kids, the then 11 year old Adara who had those same bright blue eyes, but a bold red color and 13 year old Orion who had those same old blue eyes and shaggy, curly hair. Aaron couldn't help but stare at Orion. At this point in time he was still in the closet, but he felt so...mesmerized looking at the curly haired boy.

When Orion offered a smile back, Aaron blushed and looked down. At this point in time he was also very shy, and lacked a lot of self-confidence. He was scrawny, short, and his hair was just a flat and un-styled mess. Orion had invited him to his room, which Aaron accepted.

When they were there, Orion showed Aaron all the little buildings and building blue prints he liked to draw.

Aaron smiled, "These are really good!" Aaron complimented.

Orion smiled, "Thanks...do you have something you like to do?"

Aaron shrugged, "I...like to sing..."

Orion smiled, "Sing for me!"

Aaron jumped, "Right now?"

Orion rolled his eyes playfully, "Of course!" Aaron was a little apprehensive at first, but after a few seconds opened his mouth,

Cause if I wanted to go I would have gone by now,

But I really need you near me to

Keep my mind off the edge

If I wanted to leave I would have left by now

But you're the only one that knows me

Better than I know myself! Aaron belted loudly

Orion just looked at Aaron and shouted , "THAT WAS AWESOME! How did you do that with your voice!?"

Aaron blushed and just shrugged ,"I could always do that, my mom helped though."

Orion just smiled, "We should totally be best friends!"

Aaron laughed, "Yeah! Best friends!"

Aaron smiled at the memory; it was always sweet to think about how young and cute they were. Aaron looked up at the full moon and after taking a deep breath began to sing,

I know you're somewhere out there

Somewhere far away

I want you back

I want you back, Aaron sang to Orion.

My neighbors think

I'm crazy

But they don't understand

You're all I had

You're all I had, he sang sadly while moving toward the window.

At night when the stars

Light up my room

I sit by myself

Talking to the Moon

Trying to get to you

In hopes you're on the other side

Talking to me too

Or Am I a fool who sits alone

Talking to the moon?, Aaron sang with so much raw emotion.

Ohoooo...

I'm feeling like I'm famous

The talk of the town

They say I've gone mad

Yeah I've gone mad, Aaron sang gently.

But they don't know what I know

Cause when the Sun goes down

Someone's talking back

Yeah they're talking back

Ohhh

At night when the stars light up my room

I sit by myself

Talking to the moon

Trying to get to you

In hopes you're on the other side

Talking to me too

Or am I a fool who sits alone

Talking to the moon? , Aaron sang while moving next to Orion's bed

Ahh... Ahh... Ahh...

Do you ever hear me calling?

(Ahh... Ahh... Ahh...)

Ho oh ohh, ooh ooooh, Aaron sang while crying softly.

'Cause every night

I'm talking to the moon! , Aaron belted, not caring if he disturbed someone.

Still trying to get to you

In hopes you're on the other side

Talking to me too

Or am I a fool who sits alone

Talking to the moon?, Aaron sang while sitting down next to Orion again.

Ohoooo...

I know you're somewhere out there

Somewhere far away... Aaron finished.

Aaron then kissed Orion's forehead before laying his head down on his bed side, Orion would want him to get some sleep...but he couldn't see himself getting any until he knew Orion was okay.

~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~

Mason walked down the intensive care unit. He wanted to see Adeline. His parents insisted he and Nikki go home and get some rest. But the two had said no. He wanted to know if Adeline was okay. His siblings were thankfully but Adeline wasn't and he needed to see her.

"314…" he said to himself as he passed the room," 315…" he passed by that room, seeing Orion hooked up to many machines and Aaron lying beside him, he sent a sympathetic look to them and continued walking, "316." He stopped in front of Adeline's room. Not knowing whether to open the door or not. Nobody was in there but he was scared to see her. See her on the brink if either life or death.

He gained up all the courage he still had in him and put his hands on the doorknob and opened the door. Mason could hear the beeping of machines. And the short breathings of Adeline. He walked all the way in, his heart breaking at seeing Adeline hooked up to all sorts of machines, the machines that were keeping her alive.

He walked closer to her and kneeled beside her bed," Hey Adeline…" he greeted sadly. He knew he wouldn't get an answer back. But he just wanted to talk to her," Scotty told me what happened…" he held back the tears wanting to fall," A-and I wish I was in your place instead. You've gone through so much crap in your life, I wish you didn't. "

Mason remained quiet, the only sound being made was him breathing and the machines hooked up to Adeline," I want to tell you something," Mason took a deep breath," I should tell you…Saphirra died today," he paused," I found her, she was shot in the chest. I watched her die…but she told me things before she passed away," Mason looked at Adeline," she told me to be with you. She knew I had feelings for you and she said that she wanted us to be together. And that I should love you the way I use to love her. And I want to Adeline; you don't know how much I want to. But you're with someone…and I think he could love you more than I ever could," Mason grabbed Adeline's hand and held it," Anyone could love you better than I could. I'm nothing but some jerk that's got nothing going in his life than being a future Lima Loser. And you don't deserve that. I don't deserve you," he looked at Adeline," To be honest Adeline, I do like you—love you actually. I loved Saphirra, don't get me wrong. She was my first love and everything. But you…you're special. You got talent and perseverance to be as amazing as your mom. I like that about you. No, I love that," Mason turned quiet," You know Saphirra sang too. She was a good singer. She wasn't as amazing as you but her voice was still beautiful," Mason closed his eyes," I miss her."

Mason bit his lip and stayed quiet for a moment," I can't lose you Adeline. Your family can't lose you. They need you, everyone needs you. Even Bernie needs you," Mason paused, "And now that we're talking about Bernie, I should tell you that I got him for you. I wanted to pay you back for what I did and that was my gift to you," Mason looked at Adeline and started crying," Please don't leave me too Adeline…please…please…don't leave me." Mason cried. He didn't want to lose two people he loved. He wouldn't be able to handle it.

Mason looked up and wiped the tears from his eyes and looked at Adeline. He took a deep breath and began to sing,

If I don't say this now I will surely break

As I'm leaving the one I want to take

Forget the urgency but hurry up and wait

My heart has started to separate, Mason sang to Adeline, touching his heart with his free hand.

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Be my baby

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Be my baby

I'll look after you, Mason sang, getting up and walking around the room.

There now, steady love, so few come and don't go

Will you, won't you be the one I'll always know?

When I'm losing my control, the city spins around, Mason walked around in circles, looking at Adeline.

You're the only one who knows, you slow it down, Mason sang.

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Be my baby

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Be my baby

I'll look after you

And I'll look after you, Mason sang, putting raw emotion into the song. He's never poured his heart and soul into a song until today.

Mason sang, walking back to Adeline, If ever there was a doubt

My love she leans into me

This most assuredly counts

She says most assuredly

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Be my baby

I'll look after you

(After you)

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Be my baby

Oh, oh, oh

It's always have and never hold

You've begun to feel like home

What's mine is yours to leave or take

What's mine is yours to make your own, Mason belted, forgetting he was in a hospital.

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Be my baby

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Be my baby

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Be my baby

Oh, oh, oh, Mason finished the song and looked at Adeline.

"Whether we're together or not Adeline, I'll look after you." He kissed her hand and suddenly heard someone clap. He turned his head and by the doorway, Aaron was standing there.

"That was good." Aaron complimented.

"How much did you hear?" Mason asked, hoping he didn't hear everything.

"I just walked in. I only heard you sing the ending." Aaron replied.

"Oh."

"You really love her don't you?" Aaron questioned.

Mason nodded," Yes."

"Then why aren't you with her?"

"Saphirra."

"Why are you even with her? She's kind of a bitch sometimes just saying." Aaron said.

"Don't say that about her."

"I'm just saying she—"

"—she's dead," Mason cut in, looking at Aaron," She died in the shooting."

Aaron's eyes widened in shock, she was dead? Now he felt bad for saying those things," I'm sorry Mason, I didn't know."

"No you didn't. And you didn't know her like I did. Do you want to know why she was such a bitch? She was guarded. Her parents were barely around; they were always on business trips. She was always alone. I doubt her parents even know she's dead. But if you looked behind those walls she kept you could see a scared and vulnerable girl who just wanted to be loved…and I tried to give her that." Mason told him.

"So that's why you wouldn't break up with her." Aaron said in realization.

Mason nodded," If I left her, then she'd have no one who would love her…"

"But you hurt Adeline along the way."

"I know."

Aaron put his hands on his pockets," So what are you going to do now that she's gone?"

Mason shrugged his shoulders," I don't know…"

"Are you going to try to get Adeline back?" Aaron asked.

"I don't know. She's dating someone. He treats her better than I could." Mason replied.

"Are you sure about that? I've seen the way you two look at each other. And she doesn't look at any other guy the way she looks at you. If you open your eyes, you'd see just how much she loves you Mason. And just how much you two are meant to be." Aaron said to him, looking at Adeline and then Mason.

Mason looked at Adeline, did she really? "She deserves better than me."

Aaron sighed as he walked towards the door and opened it," Open your eyes Mason, you may think you aren't good enough, but you are." Aaron then left and walked back to Orion's room. Leaving Mason to do a lot of thinking himself. He laid his head on Adeline's bed, he wanted to forget. Forget everything.

~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~

Morning came and the "McKinley Massacre" made headlines. All across the country, everyone paid respects to the horrible tragedy. This shooting became one of the most deadly high school shootings alongside Columbine and Connecticut. The "McKinley Massacre" claimed the lives of 72 people and injured 42 others.

Nobody could believe a small town would have a shooting happened, and it did. Lima would never be the same again. It would be known as the place where the "McKinley Massacre" occurred.

Damon and Eddy's parents have been confined to their homes, people around town have thrown rocks, eggs, and other things to their windows, spray-painted their homes, and yelled crass words to them. The effect of Damon and Eddy's shooting, their parents were made outcasts. Just like they were.

Tons of flowers, pictures, and tiny memorials were put in front of the school to those who have died in the shooting. And those fighting for their lives well, they prayed for them because that's all they could do.

McKinley is being re-done. Major damages were done but they've started constructions already. They're even doing a memorial for the victims of the McKinley Massacre. It's a fountain in the courtyard with all the victims' names engraved on the fountain.

No one would be able to get past this tragic event, especially for those who were at the shooting. The McKinley Massacre would forever be remembered in everyone's minds. Small town, big massacre.

~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~

Santana and Brittany had just left Rowan. They were on her since they first arrived in her room and that was yesterday. She really just wanted to be alone. Everything that happened to her replayed in her mind, the gunshots…the laughs…the torture…and she couldn't help but know that if she wouldn't have made fun of them all the time, then there's a higher chance none of this would have happened. Her friends wouldn't be fighting for their lives, and a lot of lives could have been spared. But it still happened and she was still on a hospital bed.

The door opened and Rowan sighed," Mami I said to take a break! You've been up on me all—"it wasn't her mami Santana though. It was Ethan. Inside she's really happy to see him. She didn't think she'd see him again truthfully.

But she didn't want to show it so she put on her bitch face and looked at him," What are you doing here?"

Ethan sat down next and sees her arm wrapped up and her thigh as well," Does it hurt?"

Rowan was about to say a hurtful remark like, "No Ethan, I just got shot and it feels painless and I'm super okay!" but she just bit her tongue and sighed," A little, but I'll manage. I just hate that I can't be in the cheerios for a while…"

Ethan nodded and pulled out comic books from his back pocket and handed them to her, "Here, so you're not completely bored in this place."

Rowan smiled slightly," Thanks…"

Ethan stood up and headed for the door and turned to her," I know you don't really care, but…I'm really happy you're okay Rowan." And Ethan left.

Rowan just smiled there like a goofball. Ethan really cared about her…and she had to admit, she did too.

Suddenly Santana walked in, "All right the food here is crappy so I came back. I'll eat later—"Santana noticed her daughter smiling like an idiot," –What's wrong with you, did they give you pain medication and it made you ditzy?"

Rowan shook her head and smiled," Nothing mami."

~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~

Connor was alone in his room, he was happy to be alive…unlike others who didn't make it. He still couldn't believe what had happened the previous day.

The door opened and Emily's head peeked out the door," Hey." She smiled softly.

Connor smiled, happy to see Emily," Hey."

"I'm glad you're okay. I was really worried." Emily said. Connor smiled, she cared.

The two remained silent, and Emily sat on Connor's bed. It was an awkward silence. They were still exes and it was still awkward….

"So, does it hurt? "Emily asked.

Connor shook his head," Not really. I'm fine though."

"That's good, I wouldn't want anything to happen to you." Emily replied.

Connor blushed," So you care?"

"Of course I do. Look Connor, we may be broken up but that doesn't mean I stopped caring." Emily told him.

Connor smiled," I haven't either."

The blonde blushed, "Thank you."

The two looked at each other until Emily looked away," I—uh—I should let you rest. I'll see you later Connor."

Connor disappointingly nodded," Okay."

Without thinking, she kissed his cheek and turned red at what she did and left. Leaving Connor smiling.

~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~

Ellie was sitting next to Dorothy, who was complaining about the entire room and pretty much anything.

"God why do I need to have to be given oxygen? I'm a singer; I can hold notes longer than this damn thing can give me to breathe." Dorothy complained, touching the tube put on her nose so she could breathe. She couldn't stand the hospital at all—and Ellie wasn't comfortable here either but she was just here for her sister.

"It's for your own good Dory, stop complaining." Ellie told her.

"But they don't even have good music on! How am I supposed to entertain myself when most of the music makes no sense! I have not heard one show tune in my stay here and I will file a complaint the moment I get out of this hell hole!" Dorothy exclaimed.

Ellie rolled her eyes playfully and chuckled at her sister's over dramatic ways. Suddenly the door opened and it was Grayson who smiled softly," Hey Dory, Ellie."

Ellie looked at Dory and smiled," Hey Grayson, I was just leaving." Ellie stood up and sent a wink to Dory. And Dorothy rolled her eyes.

The two were then alone and Grayson sat next to her," How do you feel?"

"Fine. Being in the hospital sucks though. And I just want to go home." Dorothy said, and by home she meant Chicago. Especially when Eli called her freaking out when he heard what happened. And pretty much had a heart attack when he found out Dorothy was shot. She really missed him and the windy city.

Grayson nodded," Don't worry Dory; you'll be home before you know it."

Dorothy smiled softly, "Hopefully." The two remained quiet," I actually never got the chance to thank you. You saved my life Grayson. If you weren't there when you were, I would not be in a hospital bed, I would be in a body bag. So thank you, you're literally my hero."

Grayson blushed and smiled," I would never let a friend die on me—especially the ones I care for."

Dorothy smiled, he cared about her.

~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~

Aidan was in his room, he still couldn't get the scene off his mind. He still felt the blood on him; he could still taste it in his mouth. He doesn't think he can forget that day. Everything was forever implanted on his mind.

"Aidan?" a sweet voice called to him.

He looked up and Dani was standing there, a tape in her hands," Dani."

She hugged him and some tears poured down her cheeks," When I heard what happened I was so scared that something happened to you. I-I didn't want to imagine losing you."

Aidan smiled softly and they broke of the hug," I'm fine." He lied, he wasn't fine. Physically yes. Mentally and emotionally. No.

Dani nodded, and Aidan wiped her tears and she smiled, "I-I b-brought you a mix-tape—call me old fashioned but I like them. I made it for you. I hope it makes you feel a bit better. "Dani told him, handing him the mix tape.

Aidan took the tape and smiled," Thanks. This is really sweet."

Dani blushed," Well I try."

The two began talking, and for a little while, Aidan forgot what happened and just focused his attention on Dani—she made him forget. Even if it was only for a little while, everything.

~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~

Delilah was in her in her hospital bed, she had cuts and scratches on her, and her ankle was sprained which meant no dancing for a while. That killed her. But what scared her most was the fact that she almost died. If she would've gotten out of the dance studio earlier, she would've been on that list of victims herself. And that's what had her feeling uncomfortable.

The door opened and Tony walked in awkwardly and nervously," Hey." He greeted nervously.

"Hi."

The two remained quiet, and Tony played with the buttons of his blazer it was an awkward silence until Tony noticed Delilah uncomfortable.

"Are you okay? I thought the doctor said you and your brother were fine." Tony spoke up.

Delilah looked up to him and started crying, "I-I almost died! Not by the fall, but before that. I-I s-saw the shooting start. And if I would've gone out of that dance studio just a bit earlier, I would not even be talking to you right now." Delilah hugged herself while she cried.

Tony didn't know what to do; he didn't know what to say or what to do to stop her from crying. He wasn't good in these types of situations but he really wanted to comfort her so he'd push through it.

He sat down on her bed, hesitantly and nervously wrapping his arms around her. He wanted to make her feel better…and he knew a song his mom and he use to sing.

I remember tears streaming down your face

When I said, "I'll never let you go"

When all those shadows almost killed your light, Tony sang softly to Delilah.

I remember you said, "Don't leave me here alone"

But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight, Tony sang gently, Delilah looked at him as he sang. He was trying to comfort her.

Just close your eyes

The sun is going down, Tony sang, Delilah had stopped crying and watched him sing.

You'll be alright

No one can hurt you now

Come morning light

You and I'll be safe and sound, Tony stopped singing and smiled softly at her.

"Why did you sing that song?" Delilah asked.

Tony licked his lips," My mom and I use to sing that song when I was younger."

"Use to?"

"She um—she died." He stuttered, not feeling comfortable of talking about the sad death of his mother.

Delilah looked down apologetically," I'm sorry."

"It's okay."

"Thank you though, for singing that song. I know that song must be very special to you, and I know how you don't feel comfortable showing love to a person—I don't know why but I won't ask—and it's touching to know you tried for me." Delilah told him gratefully. No one outside her family has ever tried so hard to comfort her like Tony did.

Tony turned red and smiled," No problem."

The two grew silent, and Tony realized he was still holding her. He slowly let go," I'm sorry, I didn't realize I was still holding you." Tony apologized.

Delilah shook her head," It's okay. It felt good actually." She told him.

"O-oh." He chuckled nervously.

Delilah giggled," You don't have to be nervous around me Tony, we're friends aren't we."

Tony nodded," Yeah…friends." He suddenly noticed something different about Delilah, she had pretty eyes…

~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~

Adara was sitting at Orion's bedside. He's recovered a lot since the incident, but he's still not awake yet, and it had been a week and Adara was scared. She didn't want to imagine not having Orion around, she needed her big brother.

She was lost in thought, when she heard groaning on the bed. She saw Orion wake up and look at her smiling," Hey Dara..." He said weakly.

Adara smiled, tears gleaming in her eyes and she hugged Orion. She started sobbing and hugging her brother tighter, "I thought I-I was going to l-lose you!"

Orion smiled, "I'm okay Dara, but you're hurting me."

She pulled away and started wiping her tears, "Sorry. I'm just happy"

Orion smiled, "So where's Aaron?"

Adara smiled, "I'll get him!" Before leaving the room.

About a minute later, Adara burst into the room dragging Aaron behind her. Aaron stopped when he saw Orion awake and okay.

Orion just waved and said, "Hi Aaron."

Aaron glared, walked over to Orion, and smacked him upside the head. Orion flinched, "Ow! What was that—"Orion stopped when he saw Aaron crying.

"Never do that again! I was so worried, I thought you were going to die!" Aaron exclaimed.

Orion pulled Aaron down to kiss him gently, "I'm sorry, but at least we're okay right?"

Aaron smiled, "Yeah, we're all okay."

While Aaron and Adara brought Orion up to date on what happened while he was out. When Orion's parents burst through the door.

Emma started crying and ran over to hug her son, "MY BABY!"

Emma started fussing over Orion and he shouted, "Dad help!"

Will smiled, eyes brimming with tears," Let her be son, we're just glad you're okay." Orion just rolled his eyes with a smile while his mom started feeding him.

~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~

Mason was awake, looking at Adeline. He had been at the hospital every day since she got here and that was almost a week and a half ago. And he didn't want to leave until she was better.

He grabbed her hand and held it, just holding her hand was a comfort to him. After losing Saphirra, he felt emotionally fried. He didn't even know what to feel anymore he was just…numb.

Suddenly, he felt Adeline's hand twitch. He looked down on her hand and then to her, her eyes were slowly fluttering opening until they were fully open. She looked around the room confused.

A smile crept up his face," A-Adeline?" he stuttered, he couldn't believe she had woken up.

"Whe—where am I?" Adeline asked in a raspy voice.

"You're at the hospital." He answered.

"Why?" she asked," What happened?"

"You were shot Adeline. You were shot twice in the stomach." Mason told her.

Adeline's eyes widened and she turned to Mason with scared eyes," Scotty! Is Scotty okay?" she asked in a panicked voice.

"She's fine Adeline; she's just a mess because she's worried about you." Mason replied, his eyes sad.

Adeline nodded and noticed his sadness," Are you okay Mason? What's wrong—and don't even think of lying to me!"

Mason bit his lip and tears streamed down his face," Saphirra's dead. She died in the shooting."

Adeline looked at him sympathetically," I'm so sorry Mason."

"I'm going to get the doctor and your parents and tell them you're awake." Mason said as he stood up, not wanting to talk about Saphirra's death and left the room.

Adeline laid there, still trying to process what was going on. The last thing she remembered was Scotty screaming her name after two bullets rang out. But everything went black after that.

"SHE'S AWAKE?! OH MY GOD FINN COME ON!" she heard her mother's voice yell loudly.

The door burst open and Rachel smiled and cried at the same time," Oh my Birdy you're awake!" Rachel sobbed.

Finn kissed his daughter's forehead as tears streamed down his face," I'm so happy to see your eyes Addie."

"Mom, dad calm down." She smiled a little.

Rachel laughed," Let me have my moment Ada you almost died!" Rachel hugged her daughter.

"Where are Oliver and Cheryl?" Adeline asked.

"We sent them home. But they'll come see you don't worry." Finn assured.

Adeline nodded and Scotty walked shyly in tears brimming in her eyes," Well aren't you going to hug your cousin Scotty?" Adeline asked.

Scotty hugged Adeline and cried," I-I thought you were going to d-die Adeline! I was so scared we were going to lose you!" Scotty sobbed.

Adeline rubbed Scotty's back," Hey, I'm fine now. You can't get rid of me that easily."

Scotty chuckled," I'm glad you're okay."

"I am too."

The doctor was surprised to see her awake. He says it's a miracle she's even awake. He thought she wouldn't make it, but she did. And her parents simply cried for joy as they saw their daughter had fought through yet another obstacle in her life. She was their little fighter.

~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~

Weeks passed, and the McKinley Massacre was still all over the news. And nobody could move on. Damon and Eddy's parents left Lima. They couldn't stand being confined in their homes and being outsiders any longer.

McKinley re-opened, though many students and teachers were scared to go back. But everything was back to normal…sort of.

Most McKinley students either see Mrs. Schuester or are seeing a therapist after the shooting—especially Aidan and Adrian who now have a scar on their cheeks that will mark them, now they can never forget when they see the scar on their cheek. And those that almost lost their lives talk to Mrs. Schuester or see a therapist as well.

Security is stricter now, policemen are patrolling the school and locker checks were daily now. Things changed but for the better.

Some of the New Directions went back to school, but some that sustained injuries still remained in the hospital.

Rowan was out from the hospital, though because she was shot in her thigh and shoulder, the doctor told her she had to wait a bit before she can go back to school.

Connor is back at school though—in crutches and doing a lot of physical therapy but he's getting better.

Delilah's back at school too, with crutches as well but she'll get better soon. Some of the scratches and cuts are scars now though. One on her arm and one on her forehead. Some others around her body. Now she wasn't just insecure about her body, but about her scars as well.

Orion was still in the hospital, he has to use crutches to get around. But he's told to stay in bed as much as possible but he's so stubborn he doesn't listen.

Dorothy is almost released from the hospital, she can breathe on her own now. But the doctors said she has to stay in bed as much as possible, and she needs to be in a wheelchair while her wound heals.

Adeline is also still in the hospital, she's told to stay in bed all the time. But if she wants to move around, she needs to use a wheelchair while her insides heal.

Everyone was scarred, whether it was physically, emotionally, or mentally, they're always going to remember the McKinley Massacre.

This day, the memorial service for the lives lost in the shooting and the opening of the fountain. It was named, "Serenity Fountain". It was named that because of the victims that are now resting in peace up there and that no one will forget them.

Upon the insistence of Mr. Schue, he convinced Principal Henley to let them perform a song at the memorial. And Principal Henley said yes, though he's not a fan of glee club, he let it slide just this once.

So everyone, even Dorothy, Orion, and Adeline were in the courtyard for the memorial service. Both Adeline and Dorothy in wheelchairs and Orion with his crutches.

The New Direction girls had on a white lace dress, white flats, silver flower earrings, a white flower ring, a white flower clip, a silver cuff bracelet, curled hair, light make-up, and white nails. The boys had a white shirt, black pants, gray-white shoes, and black and white suspenders. The two had a gold cross on their necks and were holding a white bouquet of flowers.

Everyone was dressed in black and crying, it was depressing to be here but they had to pay their respects. Principal Henley stood in front of them and spoke into the microphone," Hello students, parents, staff, and citizens. We're gathered here today to pay our respects and honor those who died on January 4th, 2036 the day now known as, the McKinley Massacre. We come to remember them for their lives cut short and for their bravery. And to show that we will always remember that day, we have created a fountain, not just any fountain, a fountain with all the names of the victims lost in the McKinley Massacre. So we can always remember them and never forget." Gregory spoke.

You could hear the quiet sobs of the audience and the sad looks they had on their faces.

Principal Henley continued, "Now, this fountain is called the "Serenity Fountain". To honor those resting in peace and who shall be remembered. "

Everyone looked towards the fountain it was grey stone. And you could hear the peaceful stream of the water running down from the top to the bottom of the fountain.

"We will now have the New Directions perform a song for the memorial service to honor those lost." Gregory said before nodding to Will.

Will looked at his kids'," Are you guys ready?"

They all nodded, Showtime. But it wasn't a happy occasion.

~~New Directions: The Next Generation! ~~

When you try your best, but you don't succeed

When you get what you want, but not what you need, Grayson sang, as the New Directions harmonized.

When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep

Stuck in reverse, Aidan sang softly, feeling tears in his blue eyes.

And the tears come streaming down your face

When you lose something you can't replace, Mason sang, thinking about Saphirra as he sang. Her name was on that fountain and he wished it wasn't.

When you love someone, but it goes to waste

Could it be worse?, Jonathan sang.

Lights will guide you home

And ignite your bones

And I will try to fix you, Delilah and Gabe sang angelically.

And high up above or down below

When you're too in love to let it go, Izzy sang holding her brother's hand as she sang.

But if you never try you'll never know

Just what you're worth, Cheryl and Aaron sang.

Lights will guide you home

And ignite your bones

And I will try to fix you, Rowan and Ethan sang, Ethan looking at Rowan who had tears streaming down her face.

The New Directions swayed back and forth as they sang the heart-wrenching song. This song was about wanting to fix a person, yet most of them felt that they could never be fixed.

Tears stream down on your face

When you lose something you cannot replace

Tears stream down on your face

And I..., All the New Directions harmonized.

Everyone held each other's hands while they sang together, Tears stream down on your face

I promise you I will learn from my mistakes

Tears stream down on your face

And I...

Lights will guide you home

(Ooooooo)

And ignite your bones

(Oooooo), they all sang together in harmony.

And I will try to fix you…

And done! What did you think? Please leave it in a review of what you thought. The picture of the fountain is in my tumblr page, and the link is in my FanFiction Profile. The outfits worn in the "Fix You" Performance is in my tumblr and polyvore.
