Sing It Loud Chapter 18, a glee fanfic

"So as you know, Regionals are this week." Sebastian reiterated. "I've decided that our performances will Jasmine singing 'Aint It Fun' by Paramore, followed by Katie singing 'Cook Kids' by Echosmith, and finally the guys will be singing 'Amnesia' by 5 Seconds of Summer."

After rehearsal was over, Jasmine went somewhere by herself. She was still devastated by her breakup with Robbie. The rational part of her brain wanted to say it was for the best because they would be competing at Regionals, but the emotional part was hurting. All she had needed to do was let him love her and they would have been happy. She wanted to choose him.

"What are you doing over here?" Cori asked her. Jasmine was a bit surprised to see the British girl.

"I was just thinking about how I screwed up my life." Jasmine answered.

"I've been there." Cori replied as she took a seat next to her. "So what did you do?"

"I messed up a relationship with a great guy just because I was paranoid." Jasmine explained.

"That happened to me too, only it was a girl." Cori stated.

"So what did you do?" Jasmine asked. She could really the advice.

"I lost her." Cori responded. "If you like this guy, you need to tell him that. Who is he, anyway?"

"His name's Robbie and he's on one of the other Glee clubs that we'll be competing with." Jasmine told her.

"Oh…" Cori remarked. "You know maybe it would be best to wait until after the competition for this."

"I was expecting you to say I should forget about him." Jasmine admitted.

"I can't tell you who to love." Cori replied. "No one can. If you think that this is meant to be, the only way to find out is to pursue it. So do you need anything else?"

"Do you wanna hear me sing my song?" Jasmine asked.

"Sure, why not?" Cori answered before Jasmine began to sing.

I don't mind letting it down easy but just give it time
If it don't hurt now then just wait just wait awhile
You're not the big fish in the pond no more you're what they're feeding on

So what are you gonna do when the world don't open up round you
So what are you gonna do when the world don't open up round you

Aint it fun living in the real world, aint it good being all alone
Aint it good to be on your own, aint it fun you can't count on no one
Aint it good to be on your own, aint it fun you can't count on no one
Aint it fun living in the real world

Don't go crying to your mama cause you're on your own in the real world
Don't go crying to your mama cause you're on your own in the real world
Don't go crying to your mama cause you're on your own in the real world

Aint it fun, aint it fun, baby now you're one of us
Aint it fun, aint it fun, aint it fun

Aint it fun living in the real world
Aint it good being all alone
Aint it fun living in the real world cause the world don't open up round you
Aint it good being all alone

"There is one more thing." Jasmine remarked. "I heard that when I was in the hospital, you brought your daughter to rehearsal. Do you think I could meet her?"

"Sure" Cori replied as she took the girl to her house.

Later in the week at Regionals, Jasmine decided to go see Robbie to see how he was doing. She and all of the other girls were wearing white dresses with black butterflies on them and black belts.

"What are you doing here?" He asked.

"I just wanted to wish you good luck." She replied.

"Yeah, you too." He declared unenthusiastically. "I have to go on soon."

Meanwhile, Kayla walked through the lobby and she gasped as she saw a familiar face. Her mouth hung open as she walked closer to the girl.

"Gina?" She asked. "You're alive."

The girls around her turned in confusion.

"Kayla?" Gina responded as she gave her a hug.

"What are you doing here?" Kayla questioned in confusion. "Do your parents know?"

"I can't talk about this." Gina replied. "I don't have a lot to say or any reason for what I did, but you better not tell anybody about this."

Not that long after, the Songbirds were in the audience as Vocal Adrenaline took the stage. Robbie was the one singing.

Your love is like a tidal wave spinning over my head
Drowning me in your promises better left unsaid
You're the right kind of sinner to release my inner fantasy
The invincible winner and you know that you were born to be

You're a heartbreaker, dream maker, love taker
Don't you mess around with me
You're a heartbreaker, dream maker, love taker
Don't you mess around no, no, no

Your love has set my soul on fire, burning out of control
You taught me the ways of desire, now it's taking its toll
You're the right kind of sinner to release my inner fantasy
The invincible winner and you know that you were born to be

You're a heartbreaker, dream maker, love taker
Don't you mess around with me
You're a heartbreaker, dream maker, love taker
Don't you mess around with me
You're a heartbreaker, dream maker, love taker
Don't you mess around with me heartbreaker
You're a heartbreaker, dream maker, love taker
Don't you mess around no, no, no

Jasmine had to admit that she couldn't help but feel the sting of the song. She had really hurt him and she wasn't sure how she was going to make it right. She wasn't sure if it was possible to make it right. She watched as the next group took the stage with Gina singing.

I know that we are upside down, so hold your tongue and hear me out
I know that we were made to break, so what I don't mind
You kill the lights, I'll drop the blinds, dumped all the sparkle in your eyes
I know that we were made to break so what I don't mind

Are you gonna stay the night, are you gonna stay the night,
Oh, are you gonna stay the night
Are you gonna stay the night, doesn't mean we're bound for life
So are you gonna stay the night
Are you gonna stay the night, doesn't mean we're bound for life
So are you gonna stay the night

I am a fire, you're gasoline, come pour yourself all over me
We'll let this place go down in flames only one more time
You kill the lights, I'll drop the blinds, dumped all the sparkle in your eyes
I know that we were made to break so what I don't mind

After they were done, the group went to the green room and got ready to perform. Jasmine sang her song first and got a round of applause. Katie then took a seat at the piano and began to play her song.

She says "I'm walking in a straight line." That's not really her style
And they all got the same heartbeat but hers is falling behind
Nothing in this world could ever bring them down
Yeah they're invincible and she's just in the background

And she says

"I wish that I could be like the cool kids cause all the cool kids they seem to fit in
I wish that I could be like the cool kids like the cool kids
I wish that I could be like the cool kids cause all the cool kids they seem to get it
I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids"

He says "I'm talking with a big smile" but they haven't got a clue
Yeah they're living the good life, can't see what he is going through
They're driving fast cars but they don't know where they're going
In the fast lane, living life without knowing

And he says

"I wish that I could be like the cool kids cause all the cool kids they seem to fit in
I wish that I could be like the cool kids like the cool kids
"I wish that I could be like the cool kids cause all the cool kids they seem to fit in
I wish that I could be like the cool kids like the cool kids
I wish that I could be like the cool kids cause all the cool kids they seem to get it
I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids"

After she was done, they rolled the piano off the stage and the guys walked to the center with their microphones. Each one took turns singing their one lines.

I drove by all the places we used to hang out getting wasted
I thought about our last kiss, how it felt, the way you tasted
And even though your friends tell me you're doing fine

Are you somewhere feeling lonely even he's right beside you
We he says those words that hurt, do you read the ones I wrote you
Sometimes I start to wonder was it just a lie
If what we had was real, how could you be fine?
Cause I'm not fine at all

I remember the day you told me you were leaving
I remember the makeup running down your face
And the dreams you left behind you didn't need them
Like every single wish we ever made
I wish that I could wake up with amnesia
And forget about the thing little things
Like the way it felt to fall asleep next to you
And the memories I never can escape

If today I woke up with you right beside me like all of this was just some twisted dream
I'd hold you closer than I ever did before
And you'd never slip away and you'd never hear me say

I remember the day you told me you were leaving
I remember the makeup running down your face
And the dreams you left behind you didn't need them
Like every single wish we ever made
I wish that I could wake up with amnesia
And forget about the thing little things
Like the way it felt to fall asleep next to you
And the memories I never can escape
Cause I'm not fine at all, no I'm really not fine at all
Tell this is just a dream cause I'm really not fine at all

The judges then went to decide the winner and the clubs could only wait. Jasmine decided that it was time for her to make things right.

"Robbie, I know that you probably hate me, but I really am sorry." She explained. "I'm sorry for jumping to conclusions and I'm sorry for accusing you of using me."

"What did you think would happen?' Robbie asked. "This isn't a romantic comedy. You can't just apologize and expect me to take you back."

He walked away and she walked back out to wait for the results. She saw the judge bring out the envelope.

"And the winners of this year's competition are…The Songbirds." He said.

So Robbie and Jasmine's story seems to have wrapped up. Also Gina appears, played by Elizabeth Gillies. The other songs are "Heartbreaker" by Pat Benatar and "Stay the Night" by Zedd. Please don't forget to review.
