Sing It Loud Chapter 5, a glee fanfic

Sebastian wrote the word "DUETS" on the board.

"A duet is joining of two voices in harmony." He explained. "It's about emotion and this week we will be singing them. I want you to pair up and find someone who your voice fits well with. Now the song you sing must have originally been performed as a duet."

Kayla was really nervous. She wasn't quite sure who she would go with. It was no secret to her that she liked girls. She actually wasn't sure if she was a lesbian or bisexual, but she wondered if there was a way that a girl might want to sing with her. She looked at Addie and decided to ask her.

"Do you want to sing a duet with me?" She questioned nervously. She had a hard time making friends, but once she did, she was one of the friendliest people in the world.

"Sure." Addie agreed. She had decided that she would sing with whoever asked her first, even though she had been hoping that it would be Cori. She really wanted to kiss Cori, but she didn't know if the blue-haired girl felt the same way. "We can practice today if you want."

At lunch, Justin met Natalie once again. He had just told her about the assignment in Glee for the week.

"Do you know anyone that you want to sing with?" Natalie questioned.

"Well there was this one girl." He stated.

"You need to ask her." Natalie suggested as she looked around the room.

"Are you looking for someone?" Justin asked, noticing his sister's odd behavior.

"I'm meeting someone for a lunch date." Natalie replied as she noticed the girl with dark hair. She took her brother to the table. "This is my brother, Justin. And this is my friend Rosaria."

"I told you that my name was Aria." The girl replied in annoyance. She then gave Natalie a kiss on the cheek. "You said it would be just us."

"Well my brother doesn't have a lot of friends and I'm not sure if anyone would eat lunch with him if I didn't." Natalie replied. Justin knew that he definitely needed to make some friends because he didn't like being the third wheel.

After school, Kayla and Addie were practicing their duet together. Kayla was singing first.

I was born in the arms of imaginary friends
Free to roam, made a home out of everywhere I've been
Then you come crashing in like the realest thing
Trying my best to understand all that your love can bring

Oh half of my heart's got a grip on the situation
Half of my heart takes time
Half of my heart's got a right mind to tell that I can't keep loving you
Can't keep loving you oh with half of my heart

I was made to believe I'd never love somebody else
I made a plan stay the one who can only love herself
Lonely was the song I sang till the day you came
Showing me another way and all that my love can bring

Oh half of my heart's got a grip on the situation
Half of my heart takes time
Half of my heart's got a right mind to tell that I can't keep loving you
Can't keep loving you oh with half of my heart

"So I need to go." Addie stated. "I have a GSA meeting."

"Do you mind if I come to it?" Kayla asked awkwardly. "Or maybe we could go on a date."

"I'm sorry but I kind of like someone else." Addie explained. "But you can come if you want."

Later that day, Milla was at home skateboarding when she came across Danny yet again.

"Let me guess, you want to sing another duet." She stated. "Well if we do, I get to pick the song and it's not going to be a country song."

"But I really wanted to sing a country song." He pouted.

"Well if you want to sing with me, you'll do things my way." She pointed out. "So do we have a deal?"

"I'll sing a song that you want if you kiss me." He bargained. She grabbed him and gave him a wet one on the lips.

"So do we have a deal?" She repeated.

"Yeah." He said a little dumbstruck.

In the morning, the two of them began their song together. He started it off.

Woke up on the right side of the bed
What's up with this Prince song inside my head
Hands up if you're down to get down tonight
Cause it's always a good time
Slept in all my clothes like didn't care
Hopped in a cab take me anywhere
Climb in if you're down to get tonight
Cause it's always a good time

Good morning and good night
I wake up at twilight
It's gonna be alright
We don't even have to try it's always a good time

Whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh it's always a good time
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, we don't even have to try it's always a good time

Doesn't matter when, it's always a good time then
Doesn't matter when, it's always a good time then
Doesn't matter when, it's always a good time then

Whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh it's always a good time
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, we don't even have to try it's always a good time
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh it's always a good time
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, we don't even have to try it's always a good time

Cori was a little disappointed that Addie wanted to work with someone else. Even though she wouldn't admit it, she liked the girl. She knew that she had to find someone else to sing with. She set her eyes on a short girl with long brown hair. She would have to do. One thing that she wanted to do with the song was practice her rapping skills.

"Hey, what's your name?" Cori questioned.

"Abby." The brunette answered.

"You're the girl with two moms aren't you?" Cori asked, having remembered that part. Abby nodded. "So I was wondering if you wanted to sing a duet with me. We could sound really good together."

"How about we go to your house after school?" Abby questioned.

"I think it would be better going to yours." Cori replied.

"My mom are remodeling, so I can't be at home for a little while." Abby explained. Cori was beginning to wonder if she made a mistake asking her.

"Okay, but you have to help me babysit then." She declared.

The two went to Cori's house. The English girl really hoped that Sara wouldn't need to feed anytime while they were there. She needed to wean her soon.

"So what song do you want to work on?" Abby asked me.

"I want something where I can rap." Cori declared.

"How about 'Love the Way You Lie'?" Abby suggested.

"Sounds good, let's work on it." Cori agreed.

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
But that's alright cause I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear my cry
But that's alright cause I love the way you lie, I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie

I can't tell you what it really is I can only tell what it feels like
And right now there's a steel knife in my windpipe
I can't breathe but I still fight while I can fight
As long as the wrong feels right it's like I'm in flight
High off of love, drunk off my hate, it's like I'm huffing paint
And I love it the more I suffer I suffocate
And right before I'm about to drown she resuscitates me
She freaking hates me and I love wait
"Where you going" "I'm leaving you" "No you aint"
Come back we're running right back here we go again it's so insane
Cause when it's going good it's going great I'm Supergirl
With the wind in her back, she's Lois Lane
But when it's bad it's awful I'm so ashamed
I snap who's that girl I don't even know her name
I laid hands on her I'll never stoop so low again I guess I don't know my own strength

So maybe I'm a masochist, I try to run but I don't ever wanna leave
Till these walls are going up smoke with all our memories

At that point, Cori heard Sara crying and went to go get her. She was able to determine that once again she was hungry.

"I need to go out to the kitchen and feed her." Cori announced. As soon as they were inside, she let her baby latch onto her.

"Where's your bath…oh?" Abby asked as she realized what was going on.

"This is why I didn't want you to come over." Cori remarked in annoyance.

"Do you not like people to know that you have a kid?" Abby asked.

"Yes, it's kind of a secret that I want to keep." Cori explained. "I'll do whatever you want if you don't tell anyone."

"Look I know about secrets. I don't want anyone to know I'm dyslexic." Abby replied.

"I'm sorry, but I can't keep that a secret." Cori remarked as she removed her baby and burped her. "You're hurting yourself by not telling anyone about it. You won't get good grades without any help."

The next day in Glee Club, Chace and Emerson began to sing something together.

Cause it's all in my head I think about it over and over again
And I can't keep picturing you with him and it hurts so bad
Cause it's all in my head I think about it over and over again
I replay it over and over again and I can't take it, I can't shake it no

I can't wait to see wanna see you if you still got that look in your eyes
That one you had for me before we said our goodbyes
And it's a shame that we gotta spend our time being mad about the same things
Over and over again about the same things over and over again

But I think she's leaving, oh man she's leaving
I don't know what else to do (I Can't go on not loving you)

Now that I realize that I'm going down
From all this pain you put me through
Every time I close my eyes I lock it down
I can't go on not loving you

That was immediately followed by a duet between Mustafa and Jasmine.

Yeah I'm out that Brooklyn, now I'm down in Tribeca
Right next to DeNiro, but I'll be hood forever
I'm the new Sinatra, and since I made it here
I can make it anywhere, yeah, they love me everywhere
I used to cop in Harlem, all of my Dominicanos
Right there up on Broadway, pull me back to that McDonald's
Took it to my stash box, 560 State St.
Catch me in the kitchen like a Simmons with them Pastry's
Cruisin' down 8th St., off white Lexus
Driving' so slow, but BK is from Texas
Me, I'm out that Bed-Stuy, home of that boy Biggie
Now I live on Billboard and I brought my boys with me
Say what's up to Ty-Ty, still sipping' mai-tais
Sitting' courtside, Knicks & Nets give me high five
Playa I be spiked out, I could trip a referee
Tell by my attitude that I'm most definitely from

New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothin' you can't do
Now you're in New York these streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Let's hear it for New York, New York

One hand in the air for the big city
Street lights, big dreams, all lookin' pretty
No place in the world that could compare
Put your lighters in the air
Everybody say "yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah"

The week was winding down and Justin knew that there was only one person left for him to sing a duet with. He went up to her and talked to her.

"Do you think you might want to sing a duet together?" He asked.

"Yes." Jacobi answered. "I was wondering when you were going to ask me. It seems like you were really taking your time with it."

At the end of the week, they had their song ready. They began to sing it. He started it off.

Floating on while the world is sinking, umbrellas in the cups we're drinking
(I love it, la-la-la love it)
Light it up in the darkest hour, our dreams only getting louder
(I love it, la-la-la love it)

This is all done now, nothing left to think about baby let your hair hang down
(I love it, la-la-la love it)
These are all the words, gonna be the last ones heard baby will you crash and burn
(I love it, la-la-la love it)

We're just kids setting stuff on fire
We are we are we are we are we are we are
We're just kids setting stuff on fire
We are we are we are we are we are we are

Nights are red, days are gold sun goes up moon is full
Just us kids letting go just us kids letting go
Nights are red, days are gold sun goes up moon is full
Just us kids letting go just us kids letting go

We're just kids setting stuff on fire
We are we are we are we are we are we are
We're just kids setting stuff on fire
We are we are we are we are we are we are
We're just kids

Sebastian at that point, knew that the group was going to take Sectionals.

So some of the duets were probably a bit unexpected. We have "Half of My Heart" by John Mayer and Taylor Swift, "Good Time" by Carly Rae Jepsen and Owl City, "Love the Way You Lie" by Skylar Grey, "Over and Over" by Nelly and Tim McGraw, "Empire State of Mind" by Jay-Z and Alicia Keys and "Just Kids" by Alex & Sierra. Please don't forget to review.
