Sing It Loud Chapter 20, a glee fanfic

The Songbirds were a bit confused on a Monday afternoon. There hadn't been a meeting in the morning because Sebastian had been strangely absent. They weren't sure if he would be there either. He did manage to make it there. He looked rather upset.

"Mr. Smythe, are you alright?" Jasmine asked.

"No." Sebastian replied. "I just found out that a friend of mine, Trent Stevens died. I don't think that I can be fully into it this week. Just sing whatever you want or nothing at all."

Later in the parking lot, Kayla and Abby were making out when they heard singing. It was Sebastian, who was crying while he was doing so.

You took my hand you showed me how you promised me you'd be around uh huh that's right
I took your words and I believed in everything you said to me yeah huh that's right

If someone said three years from now, you'd be long gone
I'd stand and punch them out cause they're all wrong
I know better cause you said forever and ever
Who knew

I'll keep you locked in my head until we meet again, until we until we meet again
And I won't forget you my friend what happened

If someone said three years from now, you'd be long gone
I'd stand and punch them out cause they're all wrong and
That last kiss I'll cherish until we meet again
And time makes it harder I wish I could remember
But I keep your memory, you visit me in my sleep
My darling who knew, my darling, my darling
Who knew I miss you my darling who knew
Who knew

Kayla then began to text everyone and they all showed up and they all went to the Lima Bean to talk about it.

"So what are we doing here?" Mustafa asked.

"Mr. Smythe needs our help." Abby explained. "He's hurting and we need to do what we can to let him know that it's going to get better. I think this week we should all sing songs about death to help him with his grieving."

"What kind of songs are we talking about?" Cori replied.

"You'll see in the morning when we perform." Abby stated.

At the meeting was over, Jasmine decided to go with Mustafa on a date. She was starting to try to get over Robbie, even though she had royally fucked up.

"So you chose him and he rejected you." Mustafa replied.

"I made a mistake." She argued. "I let him cloud my judgment. I want you to forgive me."

"You do I know that you're not going to do something like this again?" He asked.

"I'm not that stupid." She responded. "I know that I have a lot of making up to do, but I can do it."

"I still don't know why I should give you another chance." He remarked. "I'm going to take some time to think this over and I'll let you know about my decision soon."

In the morning, Sebastian was still out of it.

"So, we have decided on a theme for the week." Abby replied. "Just sit back and listen. This song is for you and the friend that you have lost."

Hey Lucy I remember your name
I left a dozen roses on your grave today
I'm in the grass on my knees, wipes the leaves away
I just came to talk for a while, got some things I need to say

Now that it's over, I just wanna hold her
I'd give all the world to see, that little piece of heaven looking back at me
Now that it's over, I just wanna hold her
I've gotta live with choices I made and I can't live with myself today

Here we are now you're in my arms I never wanted anything so bad
Here we are for a brand new start living the life that we could've had
Me and Lucy walking hand in hand, me and Lucy never wanna end
Just another moment in your eyes, I'll see you in another life
In heaven where we never say goodbye

Here we are now you're in my arms
Here we are for a brand new start
I've gotta live with choices I made and I can't live with myself today
Me and Lucy walking hand in hand, me and Lucy never wanna end
I've gotta live with choices I made and I can't live with myself today

Hey Lucy I remember your name

Elsewhere Aria decided to go to the cemetery. There were some people that she felt that she needed to see. The two of them had been buried next to each other in the family plot, even though one of them wasn't part of the family.

"So I know that I haven't been here in a long time." She stated. "This is probably the part where you'd ask how I am. I can actually say that I am fine. I met a girl…well she's a girl now. She makes me feel really good and I just want to tell her everything. I know what you'd say. Little Rosie's in love. Well you'd be wrong because I'm Aria now. I wish you were still here. I'd love to be able to hug each of you at least one last time.

I can be tough, I can be strong
But with you, it's not like that at all
There's a girl that gives a…bit
Behind this wall, you just walked through it

And I remember all those crazy things you said, you left them running through my head
You're always there, you're everywhere but right now I wish you were here
All those crazy things we did didn't think about it, just went with it
You're always there, you're everywhere but right now I wish you were here

Damn, damn, damn what I'd do to have you here, here, here
I wish you were here
Damn, damn, damn what I'd do to have you near, near, near
I wish you were here

No I don't wanna let go I just wanna let you know
That I never wanna let go let go let go
No I don't wanna let go I just wanna let you know
That I never wanna let go let go let go let go let go let go

Damn, damn, damn what I'd do to have you here, here, here
I wish you were here
Damn, damn, damn what I'd do to have you near, near, near
I wish you were here
Damn, damn, damn what I'd do to have you here, here, here
I wish you were here
Damn, damn, damn what I'd do to have you near, near, near
I wish you were here

She cried a little before she decided to go home. It made her feel good to talk to them even if they wouldn't talk back.

She found that Jasmine was at the house.

"So I'm pretty sure that Mustafa is going to dump me." She declared.

"Well I can't say that you don't deserve it." Aria replied. "You cheated on him."

"You're supposed to be my friend here." Jasmine pointed out.

"Part of being your friend is telling you the stuff that you don't wanna hear." Aria stated. "It's not his fault that you did what you did. You need to suffer the consequences."

In the morning, Kayla began to sing her song for Sebastian. She used to sing it herself when she thought Gina was dead.

Weatherman said it's gonna snow
By now I should be used to the cold
Mid-February shouldn't be so scary
It was only December but I still remember

The presents, the tree, you and me

But you went away
How dare you I miss you
They say I'll be okay
But I'm not going to ever get over you

Living alone here in this place
I think of you and I'm not afraid
Your favorite records make me feel better
Cause you sing along with every song

I know you didn't mean to give them to me

But you went away
How dare you I miss you
They say I'll be okay
But I'm not going to ever get over you

It really sinks in you know when I see it in stone

But you went away
How dare you I miss you
They say I'll be okay
But I'm not going to ever get over you

"You know I'm glad that you're doing this." Sebastian told them. "It lets me know that you care about me the way that I care about you. There's no better feeling as a teacher to know that I've made a difference in your lives."

"I had something that I wanted to sing." Justin announced

Goodbye Norma Jean though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself while those around you crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork and they whispered into your brain
They set you on the treadmill and they made you change your name

And it seems to me you lived your life like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in
And I would have liked to have known you but I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did

Goodbye Norma Jean though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself while those around you crawled
Goodbye Norma Jean from the young man in the 22nd row
Who sees you as something more than sexual more than just our Marilyn Monroe

At the end of the week, Sebastian gathered everyone for one more performance. They still needed the practice with only a few more weeks until Nationals. Mustafa was singing the lead.

From underneath the trees, we watch the sky
Confusing stars for satellites
I never dreamed that you'd be mine
But here we are, we're here tonight

Singing amen I, I'm alive
Singing amen I, I am alive

If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died

And I'm singing
Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive
Amen I, Amen I, Amen I
(I'm alive)

And in the air the fireflies
Our only light in paradise
We'll show the world they were wrong
And teach them all to sing along

Singing, "Amen I, I'm alive"
(I'm alive)
Singing, "Amen I, I'm alive"

And as we lie beneath the stars, we realize how small we are
If they could love like you and me, imagine what the world would be

After the rehearsal, Sebastian went to meet with someone of his old friends. Blaine Anderson, Kurt Hummel, plus a few more of the former Warblers came together to say goodbye to one of their own.

So Trent died and the some of the Warblers returned. The songs in this chapter are "Who Knew" by P!nk, "Lucy" by Skillet, "Wish You Were Here" by Avril, "Over You" by Miranda Lambert, "Candle in the Wind" by Elton John, and "If Everyone Cared" by Nickelback. Please don't forget to review.
