Reverse Directions Chapter 10: Silly Love Songs, a glee fanfic

So things weren't quite as I'd hoped with Jessa. She was back, but she didn't want to get back together. Well she wanted to get back together, but she couldn't. In her words, she was in a position of authority, which basically made us dating illegal. She was going to be a consultant and she somehow talked Figgins into paying her. It sucked because Valentine's Day was this week. I thought it would be special. Still, having her here was amazing.

So Puck had this idea for Valentine's Day that he would do a fundraiser where girls could kiss the quarterback for a dollar. It seemed like a good way to get a disease to me. He decided to pair the idea with a song.

To kiss and tell, it's just not my style
But the night is young and it's been awhile
And she two my heart, broke it right in two
And it's fixing, but I'm finally like I'm

Finally read to find, find somebody new

I wanna kiss a girl, I wanna hold her tight
And maybe make a little magic in the moonlight
Don't wanna go too far just to take it slow
But I shouldn't be lonely in this big old world
I wanna kiss a girl

Cause baby tonight it could turn into the rest of our lives
Are you ready, are you ready, are you ready, are you ready
To cross that line put your lips on mine
Ooh put your lips on mine baby
Do you wanna try are you ready to say goodbye to all these blues

"Okay, so Valentine's Day is this week and we will be singing love songs." Will told us. "I realize that several of you aren't currently in relationships, so you won't have to sing directly to someone but I wanna hear the romance."

"Can I ask why I would pay a dollar to kiss Puck when I can get him to kiss me for free?" Santana asked.

"Sorry, there will be no freebies." Puck replied. "You're kind of a bitch."

"Everyone loves me, right?" The Latina responded.

"No." Sadie answered.

"Puck's right. You are a bitch." I replied.

"You also said Mr. Schue belonged in a 12-step program." Tina pointed out.

"You're addicted to vests." Santana muttered.

"You can dish it out, but you can't take it." I told her. "Even if you're right and we're all failures, how are you not one?"

"The only job you'll ever have is working on a pole." Rachel added. My jaw dropped. Okay, even Santana didn't deserve that. I wanted to slap Rachel for that. That was just mean. Santana left the room in tears.

From there, I went to see Jessa in the hallway.

"So why did you leave UCLA?" I asked her.

"I was feeling homesick." She answered. I hoped that by that she meant Faith-sick. "Plus, I don't think that I was ready for college."

"You missed me, didn't you?" I questioned.

"I didn't just miss you." She argued. "I missed my family too. You know that I can't be with you."

"Well I was wondering if you wanted to come and see Beth." I declared. "You haven't seen her since she was born. She is a lot bigger now."

"I guess I can do that." She agreed.

"You know since you're a consultant, you can listen to the song that I wanted to sing this week and tell me what you think." I added.

From there we headed to my house. It was definitely different than the one that she was in last time. I noticed that my mom was there.

"Mom, this is Jessa St. James." I introduced.

"Hi, I'm Judy. Faith has told me so much about you." Mom declared. Jessa grinned and I couldn't help but blush in embarrassment.

"Is Beth awake?" I questioned.

"I actually just put her down for her nap." Mom told me. "You can go check if you'd like."

The two of us headed up to the nursery where Beth was sleeping soundly.

"She's amazing, isn't she?" I asked.

"She looks a lot like you." She replied.

"So did you want to hear me sing?" I questioned.

"Sure." She answered.

Imagine me and you I do
I think about you day and night, it's only right
To think about the girl I love and hold her tight
So happy together

If I should call you up invest a dime
And you say you belong to me and ease my mind
Imagine how the world could be so very fine
So happy together

I can't see me loving nobody but you for all my life
When you're with me the skies'll be blue for all my life

Me and you and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice it has to be
The only one for you is me and you for me
So happy together

I can't see me loving nobody but you for all my life
When you're with me the skies'll be blue for all my life

Me and you and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice it has to be
The only one for you is me and you for me
So happy together

So happy together
And how is the weather
So happy together
We're happy together

I can't see me loving nobody but you for all my life
When you're with me the skies'll be blue for all my life

I then prepared to kiss her, but she backed away.

"I think it's a good song." She declared. "You sounded great on it. I think that I should probably get going."

So it seemed that she was resisting and I would have to try harder. She was only two years older than me, so it couldn't be illegal. If nothing else, we would be able to keep it a secret.

I had an idea to get her to want to be with me and it involved getting her a Valentine's present. I would have to go by myself. I decided that I would take Beth with me to the mall. I heard a number of comments of how cute my little sister was. I couldn't help but sigh. I knew that I would only get dirty looks if I said that she was my daughter.

I didn't exactly know what to get her. I didn't want to get something cliché. I knew that she would probably like chocolate, but I wanted something that would last. I then saw a store. I noticed that they had a buy two, get one free special.

So I ended up getting a bear for Jessa, a koala for Beth and a panda for myself. I would probably wait to give Beth hers until she was older. I decided to sing to myself as we headed home.

Making my way downtown, walking fast
Faces pass and I'm homebound
Staring blankly ahead, just making my way
Making my way through the crowd

And I need and I miss you
And now I wonder

If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by
Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you tonight

And I, I don't wanna let you know and I, I drown in your memory
I, I don't wanna let this go, I, I don't

Making my way downtown, walking fast
Faces pass and I'm homebound
Staring blankly ahead, just making my way
Making my way through the crowd

And I still need you, and I still miss you
And now I wonder

If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass us by
Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you
If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by
Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you if I could just hold you tonight

The next day at school, I was wearing a Valentine's inspired outfit. It consisted of a white off-shoulder sweater, red pleated skirt and red heels. I would wait until after school to give Jessa her gift.

"So how about a kiss?" Puck asked as I noticed his booth set up.

"I don't think so." I declared. Suddenly, Santana appeared and crashed her lips against mine, which was followed by her putting her tongue in my mouth. I pushed her back. "What the fuck?"

"What don't you like kissing girls?" She asked.

"Okay, break it up." Jessa replied. I figured out that she was being paid because she was also a teacher's aide for English. Santana then walked away.

"Come and see me in the auditorium after school." Jessa whispered as she walked by. Maybe she wasn't as resistant as I thought.

So immediately after school was done, I went to see her in the auditorium.

"I really shouldn't be here." She replied. "I could get in a lot of trouble."

"But you're here anyway." I pointed out. I then gave her the box. "This is for you."

"Thank you." She stated as she looked at the bear. "Before we do anything else, I thought I should sing to you."

Can this be true, tell me can this be real
How can I put into words what I feel
My life was complete, I thought I was whole
Why do I feel like I'm losing control

Never thought that love could feel like this, then you changed my world with just one kiss
And how can it be that right here with methere's an angel, it's a miracle

Your love is like a river, peaceful and deep
Your soul is like a secret I never could keep
When I look into your eyes, I know that it's true
God must've spent a little more time on you

Never thought that love could feel like thisthen you changed my world with just one kiss
And how can it be that right here with me there's an angel, it's a miracle

Your love is like a river, peaceful and deep
Your soul is like a secret I never could keep
When I look into your eyes, I know that it's true
God must've spent a little more time on you

After she was done, the two of us proceeded to start making out. We didn't do anything else because it wasn't appropriate to do at school and I knew that it would probably take some time for her to be comfortable with everything again. We were taking baby steps. I was just happy that I got to kiss her and I knew that I could definitely wait to have sex with her for a little while. Having her was more important to me than fucking her.

"Just don't tell anyone about this." She requested. I had already had one secret relationship and I could do another one.

"Fine." I declared.

The next day, Tina started to sing a song to Mike before she suddenly broke down in tears. It was weird, but not as weird as I felt at the moment. I felt warm like I had a fever or something. My vision was a little blurry as well. I really hoped that I wasn't coming down with something. I wanted to be able to go out with Jessa for dinner. Of course, she didn't look too hot either.

"Mr. Schue, can I be excused?" I asked. "I'm feeling sick."

"I can take her down there." Jessa volunteered.

"Let me guess, you have a sore throat, your glands are swollen and you feel feverish." Santana replied. "It sounds like you have mono, otherwise known as the kissing disease. It generally spreads from the tongue. It looks like Jessa has it too."

"Well we weren't kissing if that's what you think." Jessa argued before taking me to the nurse. She let both of us lay down on some cots. "I can't believe that she gave you mono."

"I can't believe that I gave it to you. I'm sorry." I apologized.

"I broke the rules and I got punished for it." She explained. "I'm probably going to lose my job for this."

"I could say that you let me have some of your coffee." I offered. As far as I knew, there weren't any rules about teacher's aides sharing drinks with students.

"It's still a sign that we shouldn't do this anymore." She remarked. I wasn't going to let her give up on us, but we would have to wait until we were better.

The following night, aka Valentine's Day, I was feeling well enough to go out and see this performance with the Warblers at Breadstix.

You were in college working part-time waiting tables
Left a small town never looked back
I was a flight risk with a fear of falling
Wonder why we bother with love if it never lasts

I say "can you believe it" as we're lying on the couch
The moment I can see yes, yes I can see it now

Do you remember we were sitting there by the water
You put your arm around me for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
Do you remember all the city lights on the water
You saw me start to believe for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine

And I remember that fight 2:30 am cause everything was slipping right out of our hands
I ran out crying and you followed me out into the streets
Braced myself for the goodbye cause that's all I've ever known
You took me by surprise you said "I'll never leave you alone"

You said "I remember how we felt sitting by the water
And every time I look at you it's like the first time
I fell in love with a careless man's careful daughter
She is the best thing that's ever been mine"

Hold on we'll make it last
Hold on we'll never turn back
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine.

I just knew that I had to come up with a way to make Jessa mine.

So Faith and Jessa have a bit of a problem. Will they be able to be together. After all, they did get mono together. The songs are "Kiss A Girl" by Keith Urban, "Happy Together" by The Turtles, "A Thousand Miles" by Vanessa Carlton, "God Must've Spent" by *NSYNC and "Mine" by Taylor. Please don't forget to review.
