In the morning, I awoken by Beth at 5:00. I rushed over to change her diaper, but she was still crying afterwards. I tried picking her up, but that didn't work and I tried feeding her, but she didn't seem to be hungry.
"Mom, I need help!" I yelled.
"Have you tried singing to her?" She asked.
"No." I replied.
"Then try that." She suggested before I started to sing her a lullaby.
Look into my eyes
You will see, what you mean to me
Search your heart, search your soul
And when you find me there, you'll search no more
Don't tell me it's not worth trying for
You can't tell me it's not worth dying for
You know it's true, everything I do
I do it for you
There's no love like your love and no other could give more love
There's nowhere unless you're there all the time, all the way yeah
Oh you can't tell me it's not worth trying for
I can't help it, there's nothing I want more
Yeah I would fight for you, I'd lie for you
Walk the wire for you, yeah I'd die for you
You know it's true, everything I do, yes everything I do
I do it for you
It worked. It got her to calm down. I figured that it would have to become my go-to routine for calming her down.
"So, can you watch her while I get ready?" I requested before I handed her to my mother.
I showered and brushed my hair before I got dressed in a white sweater with a black pleated skirt, white knee socks, black heels, and a black bow. I then did my makeup and headed to the kitchen for breakfast where my mom had Beth sitting on her lap.
"So you need to remember that we're meeting Frannie and her new boyfriend for dinner tomorrow night."
"I know." I replied. After breakfast, I gave Beth a kiss and headed out.
Once I got to school, I first came across Sadie.
"So, there's something that I need to talk to you about." I said before adding. "And it has nothing to do with Jessa."
"Okay." She remarked.
"What I wanted to know was whether or not you like boys or girls." I stated.
"I like boys." She answered.
"Alright, that is all that I needed to know." I stated before I headed to Glee club.
Once most of us were there, Will walked into the room. He looked like he had news.
"So I have something that I need to say." He remarked. "Puckerman is in Juvie."
"What did he do?" I asked.
"He drove his mom's SUV into a convenience store and tried to steal an ATM." Will explained. What the fuck? That was just stupid. That was like something out of those dumb criminal shows. "But I do have good news. You can come in now."
At that point Sam walked into the room with a smile on his face.
"Hi, everyone, I'm Sam." He declared. "I like comic books and doing impressions. My grades aren't so hot because I'm dyslexic, but I'm working on it."
"Okay, Sam, have a seat." Will instructed. "Now onto our next order of business, this week we will be having a competition. Since we have an even number, you will all be pairing up to sing duets."
It was then that I had an idea. Maybe Sadie and Sam could sing a duet together. It would be great since they were both new and it would be even better if there were to win. I decided to talk to Sadie about asking her.
"So you should ask Sam if he wants to duet with you." I remarked. "I think that since you're both new, you could work well together."
"It looks like someone beat me to it." Sadie replied as I looked to see Kurt talking to Sam. Maybe they were just talking about comics. Kurt liked comics, didn't he? I would have to talk to Sam about it, but first Lucy and I were going to rehearse our duet.
I'm feeling distracted and likewise attracted
To all the things that you let me know, all the things I can't let go
You're waiting for friction, this empty addiction
That's forcing me to intervene let's break out of this scene
I know I am not alone
I'm not the only one who is broken
And I know I'll never let go
I can watch the world pass by just as long it's you and I
You and I
We watch the world go by, but if it's you and I then we will never die no we can never
We watch the world go by but if it's you and I then we will never die
I know I am not alone
I am the only one who is broken
And I know I'll never let go
I can watch the world pass by just as long it's you and I
You and I
"So I want Sadie and Sam to perform together, but I have to convince Sam to do it first." I explained. "I also want them to win."
"How are you going to make that happen?" She asked.
"Well, the way I see it, pretty much everyone is going to vote for themselves." I explained. "If we vote for them, they will win by two votes."
"Well you'd have to get them to work together first." She pointed out.
"I'll talk to Sam tomorrow at school." I declared.
I decided to find him in the hallway before school.
"Hey, I saw you talking to Kurt yesterday." I replied. "What were you talking about it?"
"Hey wants to sing a duet with me and I said yes." He answered.
"Are you sure that you want to do that?" I questioned. "I mean do you really want to sing a duet with a gay guy? It's probably not something people would take kindly to."
"Why should I care what other people think of me?" He asked. "Besides, he sent me some MP3s of him singing and he sounded like Faith Hill."
"I think you and Sadie's voices would blend together better." I explained.
"Sorry, but I gave my word." He replied. I sighed. Maybe I could convince Kurt to back out. I decided that I would talk to him after school.
We found that the first duet was Mercedes and Santana. I wasn't sure why they were performing together. I was pretty sure that the two of them didn't even like each other. I was pretty sure that no one liked Santana, except for Brittany and Puck, and that was both of them were having sex with her.
"Hey, Kurt, can I talk to you for a sec?" I asked. "I don't think that you and Sam should do a duet together."
"You seem to think that your opinion matters to me." He replied.
"Well answer me this. Are you only doing this because you have a crush on Sam?" I inquired.
"So what if I do?" He argued.
"Sam's not gay." I stated. "You should be with someone that likes you back."
"Well there aren't any other out gay guys at this school?" He replied.
"Why does it have to be at this school?" I challenged. "You don't always find your soulmate in high school, Kurt. There is someone out there for you, but it's not Sam."
At that point, I noticed that Azimio had thrown a slush in Sam's face.
I was pretty sure that it had made an effect on him, because after school, he and Rachel were singing something together.
I can show you the world, shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me, princess, now when did, you last let your heart decide?
I can open your eyes, take you wonder by wonder
Over, sideways and under on a magic carpet ride
A whole new world, a new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no or where to go or say we're only dreaming
A whole new world, A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here, it's crystal clear that now I'm in a whole new world with you
Now I'm in a whole new world with you
Unbelievable sights, Indescribable feelings
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling through an endless diamond sky
A whole new world, a hundred thousand things to see
I'm like a shooting star, I've come so far
I can't go back to where I used to be
A whole new world with new horizons to pursue
I'll chase them anywhere, there's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you
A whole new world, that's where we'll be
A thrilling chase, a wondrous place for you and me
To be honest, it was a little bit weird, but the two of them did sound great together. It was followed by Mike and Tina, but only Tina sung. Mike was doing this talking thing. It was funny, but it was also weird.
That night, I prepared for dinner. I was having Lucy babysit so we could go out to a nice restaurant. Frannie's boyfriend was a rich man himself, but he was self-made. He owned a software company, which would not be something that you guessed from looking at him.
"Mom, Faith, this is Anthony Thomas, my boyfriend." She introduced.
"It's nice to meet y'all." He replied. You know if I liked men, I might like him.
"So how did someone like you come to starting a software company?" I inquired.
"You know that's something that I get asked a lot." He admitted. "I always loved computers and wanted to make programs that worked even if you live on a farm in Oklahoma."
"Well as long as my sister is happy with you, I'm happy." I declared.
The following day, I could see that Sam and Sadie were doing their duet together and Artie and Brittany weren't going to do their duet. Of course, Lucy and I were going to be singing our duet first. I was leading off and then Lucy would be coming in.
I spent twenty trying to get out of this place, I was looking for something that I couldn't replace
I was running away from the only thing I've ever known
Like a blind dog without a bone, I was a gypsy lost in the twilight zone
I hijacked a rainbow and crashed into a pot of gold
I've been there, done that I aint looking back on the seeds I've sown
Saving dimes spending too much time on the telephone
Who says you can't go home?
Who says you can't go home?
There's only one place that call me one of their own
Just a hometown girl, born a rolling stone
Who says you can't go home?
Who says you can't go back?
Been all around the world and as a matter of fact
There's only place left I wanna go
Who says you can't go home?
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
It doesn't matter where you are, it doesn't matter where you go
If it's a million miles away or just a mile up the road
Take it in, take it with you when you go
Who says you can't go home
Who says you can't go home?
There's only one place that call me one of their own
Just a hometown girl, born a rolling stone
Who says you can't go home?
Who says you can't go back?
Been all around the world and as a matter of fact
There's only place left I wanna go
Who says you can't go home?
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
Who says you can't go home?
As soon as we were done, Sadie and Sam went up. To my surprise, he started to rap.
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
But that's alright, because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
But that's alright, because 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 you 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 from my hate
It's like I'm huffing paint and I love it the more that I suffer
I suffocate and right before I'm about to drown
She resuscitates me, she fucking hates me, And I love it, 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 Superman, with the wind at his back, she's Lois Lane but when it's bad, it's awful
I feel so ashamed, I snapped, who's that dude I don't even know his name, I laid hands on her
I'll never stoop so low again, I guess I don't know my own strength
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
But that's alright, because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
But that's alright, because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
So maybe I'm a masochist I try to run but I don't wanna ever leave
Till the walls are going up in smoke with all our memories
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
Well that's alright because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
Well that's alright because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
The following day, Will had the results. Lucy and I had voted for Sadie and Sam and I was pretty sure that they would win because.
"Okay, so I probably should have made a rule saying that you couldn't vote for yourselves." He replied. "Nevertheless, we do have a winner. With four votes, Sadie and Sam."
I was happy for the two of them. I couldn't help but wonder if the two of them would get together.
So it looks like Sadie and Sam are going to get together. Also Frannie's boyfriend played by Blake Shelton appeared. The songs are "Everything I Do I Do It For You" by Bryan Adams, "You and I" by Secondhand Serenade and Cady Groves, "A Whole New World" by Regina Belle and Peabo Bryson, "Who Says You Can't Go Home" by Bon Jovi and Jennifer Nettles and "Love the Way You Lie" a mixture of the Eminem and Skyler Grey versions. Please don't forget to review.
