Ally's POV
I sat next to Rory in the choir when Mr. Shue and Ms. Pillsbury came into the room followed by a younger man with dark hair. "Do you know who that is?" I asked Rory and he shook his head and sighed. I glanced at Joe, but he shrugged, so I gathered that he didn't know who he was either.
"Everyone, I think…most of you will remember Dr. Howell." Mr. Shue said, I assumed he was here last year or something since some of the people in here would know him.
"Well for those of you who don't know me, I'm Carl and I'm a dentist." He told us. I didn't understand why he was here, but I did notice some tension from Ms. Pillsbury; maybe an old boyfriend? But the big question was why was here? In a glee club?
"Not to be rude, but why are you here?" I asked.
"I have to agree with her, not that I wouldn't mind a little alone time with him…why is he coming crawling back here? Did you go broke or are you trying to steal Mr. Shue's future wife?" Santana commented, I tried to hold back laughing at that.
He however let a chuckle out and took a few steps closer to front row as Mr. Shue began to speak. "Figgins said that we have to do this again." He said, whatever that meant. Rory and I looked around and saw some annoyed looks from Rachel, Artie, Kurt, and others. Brittany seemed…well that was Brittany. And the others, we didn't know what that meant; and that was almost half of us.
"Mr. Shue, I think I speak for half of the people in here we don't really know what you are talking about." I said. By the looks of it, Sam, Blaine, Rory, Joe, Sugar, and I are the ones who didn't have any idea; was he giving us a business card or something or a lesson like they give in elementary schools?
The guy then looked at me. "What's your name?" He asked me and I grinned, I thought this could be funny.
"Who's asking?" I was interested in his answer, but I laughed a little so he wouldn't have to. "Ally Hummel." I saw him glance at my brother, I guess he was familiar with the name…maybe. I don't remember Kurt ever saying something about him…or Finn for that matter.
"Well…" He said, taking a few steps back. "How many of you haven't seen me before today?" He asked us and that was when the six of us put our hands in the air. "I think I'll just take them…I haven't had the pleasure of meeting them."
"Can someone explain what's going on?" Blaine asked. So it wasn't just me who had no idea what he meant.
"What do you mean…take us?" It sounded just as weird repeating it aloud.
"Appointments. You see him at his office." Brittany said. "It'll be fun!" I ignored the last comment from Brittany as I glanced at Rory…this was strange; that was the only way I could put this. He left pretty much after giving the six of information, I didn't really care much.
Then Mr. Shue went to the white board to write the week's lesson on the board and Rory put his arm around me. "Anyway, since we are reliving that part of last year, I thought I'd bring back something else as well." He said and he moved aside, showing that he wrote Britney on the board.
Britney Spears. I remember something about Kurt starting a Facebook campaign and got in trouble because of a Britney Spears thing last year; and the assembly was also something I couldn't forget.
"So we're doing Britney again?" Tina asked.
"Yes." Mr. Shue replied. I grinned, I had a few songs in mind, but there was one of my favorites that I had to sing. "Joe, Rory…" I said and whispered a song into their ears. They nodded, so I gathered that they both knew the song.
"We will." I said and the three of us got up and put three stools in front of the choir room.

Rory's POV
After Glee Club, Ally and I walked out together, however I couldn't help but notice that Joe looked at her…strangely. Almost how I did. And that number was something…but I knew that she wouldn't cheat on me, not when she's carrying my baby.
"So..that number…?" I tried to ask.
"It's my favorite song and the dancing, don't worry Joe and I didn't have any secret dancing meetings we didn't invite you to. I just went with the song and I guess you both did too." Ally said, I believed her. I guess she heard the song enough that it was easier for her; I knew that she and Joe were good dancers, so it was probably easier for them when that came in.
"So what's with you and Joe?" I asked her, I just wondered.
"What?" She questioned. "He goes to my church, I've known him longer than you and he was right there and I needed a third guy and I wasn't going to ask Sam, Blaine, or Kurt to do it with us." I forgot they met before we did; I guess I'll never get used to that.
"There's nothing going onto between you two, right?" I asked. I hated myself for it, but I asked.
"Joe and I aren't even really friends…so no." Ally replied. "Why would you ask that?" I sighed.
"Sorry, you can't blame me for being worried that someone might try and steal you from me." I said, I thought that was good. I knew it was when she smiled back, after I put my arms around her and kissed her lips.
"Nice…you wanna come over tonight? My dad and Carole are going out. Kurt will be out with Blaine and Finn will be out with Rachel." Ally said and I smiled even more; I nodded. "I'll see you later." She said before walking off.
We did it a few weeks ago and it was great; the bonus was remembering it this time. I just loved being with her and knowing that she is carrying my baby made it even more special. I watched her walk away, but then noticed a taller guy in a jacket was talking to her; she didn't look happy, so I went over.
"Leave me alone." Ally told him.
"Come on, all the sluts love me. Why not you?" He told her and I shook my head. Another one who went after her because of the pregnancy.
"Get away from her!" I demanded, he turned to me and slammed me against the locker.
"I can't believe you had the balls to knock her up, Mexico!" He said and pushed me again. He still thinks I'm from Mexico? That still don't understand. I looked at Ally, who didn't look happy with me.
"You didn't have to do that." She told me.
"I will not let him talk to you like that." I told her. "And hey, if I lose a tooth defending you, at least I can get it fixed for free." She tried not to laugh, but she shook her head; trying to hide a smile.
"Don't be stupid."
"I'm serious here." I said and kissed her again.
"And I'm serious, I'd prefer if you keep your real ones." I laughed and nodded.
Joe's POV
The next day, I decided I needed to talk to Ally. Especially after yesterday's song in Glee Club, maybe she was open to me being there for her…and the baby; I hoped because it is mine after all. I found her talking to Sam, by the lockers and once I came around he left.
"Can we talk?" I asked her and she nodded.
"What's going on?"
"So are we okay?" I asked, I tried to find a good way to ask, but I couldn't. So I went with that instead.
"Are we okay? Let me think, Am I okay with you after you raped me and I'm lying to my boyfriend about this being his child and having to come with a dumb excuse on how he got me pregnant?" She said, sarcastically. "No, I'm not okay. We're not okay."
"But that number yesterday." I said, following her down the hallway.
"Well, it's called 3 for a reason, Joe."
"You picked me and Rory. It could have been Rory and any other guy." I stated.
"Kurt wouldn't be right for the song, same goes for Blaine, Puck and I don't talk or…know each other, Mike doesn't really sing, Artie can't really dance and neither can Finn, and Sam would have been lost with Rory and I going as the song went." Ally said. And of course, I was close so it was easy. But I could tell myself that I was her second pick.
"Ally—"
"Joe. Please." She said and tried to walk away, but I still wouldn't let her.
"What will take for you to give me the light of day?" I asked and she thought for a few seconds.
"Give me at least a few days without you bugging me forgiveness." She said and I sighed. "I don't mean to sound horrible, but you asking me to forgive you every day isn't helping." I nodded, I guess she was right. "I'll see you at church."
I decided to sing a song in Glee Club.
Crazy
Baby, I'm so into you
You got that somethin', what can I do?
Baby, you spin me around
The earth is movin', but I can't feel the ground
Every time you look at me
My heart is jumpin', it's easy to see
You drive me crazy, I just can't sleep
I'm so excited, I'm in too deep
Whoa, crazy, but it feels alright
Baby, thinkin' of you keeps me up all night
Tell me, you're so into me
That I'm the only one you will see
Tell me, I'm not in the blue, oh
That I'm not wastin' my feelings on you
Every time I look at you, my heart is jumpin'
What can I do?
You drive me crazy, baby
Excited, I'm in too deep
Whoa, oh, but it feels alright
Baby, thinkin' of you keeps me up all night
You drive me crazy, I just can't sleep
I'm so excited, I'm in too deep
Whoa, crazy, but it feels alright
Baby, thinkin' of you keeps me up all night
Rory's POV
I was hoping to meet Ally after class, but instead was greeting by the school's most annoying Glee Club troll, as Ally calls it. I am pretty sure his name is Jacob or something. "Hello Irish." I sighed, at least someone in this school knew I was Irish and not Mexican.
"What do you want?" I asked.
"I want to talk about your girlfriend." He said and I rolled my eyes. "The pregnant Hummel." That was when I started to walk away, unfortunately, he followed me. "Wait!"
"No comment!" I exclaimed, Ally told me to say that if he asked me.
"This isn't be recording." He said, once he got in front of me. "But I have something that might interest you."
"Can't you and everyone else at this school leave us alone? She isn't a slut, I'm not a man whore, and also I'd like to make it clear to everyone that I'm from Ireland." I said, I tried to walk away, but he stopped me. Why did I let that stop me?
"But she is a cheater." He said and I shook my head, but he handed me pictures. I handed them back without looking, they were probably full of stupid pictures of Joe and Ally; nothing was going on between them.
"Please, Ally barley likes Joe—" He cut me off, shoving the pictures back in my face.
"But she does like Trouty Mouth Evans." He said and I looked at him for a second. Sam, she was friends with him. I took the pictures and looked at them. I would regret it…or maybe not. Pictures of her and Sam together, it looked believable. She looked at him and held his hands—no it couldn't be real! She wouldn't do that!
"Sorry Irish, but maybe she is a slut." He said and that's when I pushed him out of the way.
In the choir room she was performing a song.
He is a hustler, he's no good at all
He is a loser, he's a bum
(Bum, bum, bum)
He lies, he bluffs he's unreliable
He is a sucker with a gun
(Gun, gun, gun)
I know you told me I should stay away
I know you said he's just a dog astray ho,
He is a bad boy with a tainted heart
And even I know this ain't smart
But mama, I'm in love with a criminal
And this type of love isn't rational, it's physical
Mama, please don't cry, I will be alright
All reason aside, I just can't deny, love the guy
He is a villain by the devil's law
He is a killer just for fun
(Fun, fun, fun)
That man's a snitch and unpredictable
He's got no conscience, he's got none
(None, none, none)
All I know, should've let go but no
'Cause he's a bad boy with a tainted heart
And even I know this ain't smart
But mama, I'm in love with a criminal
And this type of love isn't rational, it's physical
Mama, please don't cry, I will be alright
All reason aside, I just can't deny, love the guy
But mama, I'm in love with a criminal
And this type of love isn't rational, it's physical
Mama, please don't cry, I will be alright
All reason aside, I just can't deny, love the guy
Maybe something was going on.
That night I was at Ally's house, Kurt let me in while he was on his way out with Blaine. The house was empty…again. I wondered if it was like this a lot. I went into her room and she wasn't there. Kurt told me she would be back soon; I wish someone knew where she was.
Then I thought about those pictures. She is good friends with Sam, so it could be possible. But I didn't want to be like this because I could lose her for not being trustworthy. But then again, I could have already lost her.
I had no idea where I was going.
I decided to text her to see where she was and if she was with anyone.
I'm at your house. When will you back? –Rory
I waited only a few seconds and then a reply came through.
Sorry, I was with Sam. Be there soon. :) –Ally
I sighed, she was with Sam again. Timing or was she really doing things with him. Especially this week, I had seen them together a lot; it was strange. I didn't know what to believe, I guess I would figure out what I would do when she got back.
She did a few minutes later and hugged me right away. I kissed her as she then took off her coat and threw it onto the bed. "Hey. Sorry for being late." She told me and I nodded.
"So where were you and Sam? What were you guys doing?" I asked, I hope it didn't sound…nosy. I was being nosy, I guess I was questioning her.
"It's not really important." She said and I sighed.
"Are you cheating on me?" I asked her and she frowned right away; was that a good or bad sign? "Please tell me."
"What?" She asked, she said as if I had hit a puppy. "Why would you even ask that?" I knew I had no choice now, I regretted it. I showed her the pictures and she sighed and shook her head. "Where did you get these? The Jacob guy?" I nodded and she sighed again, she looked hurt and angry; but more hurt. "I told you to avoid him, he is a freaking son of a bitch. He spends his time going after everyone that is in Glee Club—"
"I know, but you guys are good friends and this week you've been spending a lot of time together—"
"First Joe and now Sam." Ally said and now I really regretted this. "Rory, do you trust me?"
"Yes, but like I said, it's not easy."
"What? Being with a pregnant girl?" She asked me and I shook my head; that was far from it.
"No being with someone like you. Someone who is so amazing and beautiful and special. Someone that anyone would be lucky to have." I told her and she just stared at me. "I worry constantly about every guy that looks at you. You could have better than me and I know it could be easy. I mean, what's special about me?"
I watched as Ally walked over to me and put her lips on my mine. "You are special. To me." She said and I grinned. "What's special is that I love you and nobody in that school will ever make me want to break up with you or cheat on you."
"Not even Sam?" I asked and she kissed me again.
"Sam is my best friend, but you are my boyfriend and I love you." She said and I felt a little better, than I just wondered more about the pictures and why she was with him a lot this week. "And besides he has a girlfriend too. And she would kill him if he cheated on her."
"Then what were you doing with Sam? And this picture…" I showed it to her and she looked surprised, she had to admit it made her look guilty as if she did cheat.
"This was taken this morning." She told me.
"What were you and Sam doing?" I asked again.
"I can't tell you." She said, that wasn't the answer I was hoping for.
"Why not?"
"Because I'm not going to break Sam's trust." She told me, so Sam didn't want people to know about something he's hiding. "Just like I wouldn't break yours." I grinned, but then she took out her phone and put it on speaker.
"What's going on?" It was Sam, why was she calling him?
"Rory thinks I am cheating on him with you." Ally said, great now he knows.
"Seriously?" I guess, I would take that as a compliment. Or he would.
"Look, can I tell him what happened today? I will make him keep it a secret." Ally said and there was silence for a few moments.
"I guess." He said and then the call ended a few seconds later.
"Okay…so—"
"We were at Dr. Howell's office." She told me and now I was confused. They were there together?
"What? Why—I don't understand."
"Swear this stays between us?" She asked me and I nodded.
"Sam sort of has a phobia of…dentists, so he asked me if I'd go with him." Ally told me. That was the big secret? Well I guess I knew I could trust Ally with any and all of my secrets if she wouldn't tell me that without Sam's okay. "And I may have gotten checked out too while I was there. That's why I was out longer than I thought."
I kissed her then. "You happy you know now?"
"I'm happy that I have you and that I know that I can literally tell you anything and you'll keep it." I told her and she smiled and she kissed me back.
"I love you." She said.
"I love you too." I told her back. "But you know, I thought it would have been cute to go together…you know I could have held you hand."
"Please, I would have been the one holding yours." She shot back and I laughed. There were so many things I loved about her. She could be sassy and sweet and so many other things. "Anything else you want to know?"
"Yeah, that perform in Glee Club…didn't seem…well, you."
"I looked like a fool, Sam said if I did that, he do that without trying to talk me out of it." Ally admitted. "But I did laugh once I was done acting like an idiot."
"Nice song choice." I commented.
"I was going to sing Circus, but Kurt and Blaine wanted to sing that as a duet, so I went with a different one." She told me. I laugh and kissed her again.
"Sing something with me. One last Britney song." I said and she nodded. She went over to her stereo and picked a song and the music started.
"This is a story about a girl named Lucky" Ally spoke.
[Ally]
Early morning, she wakes up
Knock, knock, knock on the door
It's time for make up, perfect smile
It's you they're all waiting for, they go
[Rory]
"Isn't she lovely, this Hollywood girl?"
And they say
[Ally & Rory]
She's so lucky, she's a star
But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart, thinking
If there's nothing missing in my life
Then why do these tears come at night?
[Rory]
Lost in an image, in a dream
But there's no one there to wake her up
[Ally & Rory]
And the world is spinning and she keeps on winning
But tell me what happens when it stops? They go
[Ally]
She is so lucky, but why does she cry?
[Ally & Rory]
If there is nothing missing in her life
Why do tears come at night?
She's so lucky, she's a star
But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart, thinking
If there's nothing missing in my life
Then why do these tears come at night?
She's so lucky
But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart, thinking
If there's nothing missing in my life
Then why do these tears come at night?
"You're my lucky." I said, once the song ended.
So someone here asked me to do a Britney themed chapter and I have been trying to come up with a different one for a while, but I didn't come up with anything better so I went with this.
Anyway, Ally and Rory experience some problems with trust, but they worked it out. Also, Joe is going to be giving Ally a little space. Next chapter is Sectionals!
Songs: "3", "(You Drive Me) Crazy", "Criminal", & "Lucky"
