"Leah!" Jack breathed and came walking into the choir room. He looked from me and down and I knew he was looking at the wheelchair.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you Jack. I…" I began trying to find a good way to explain. "I… I just couldn't… and… then it just got harder and… you're not gonna break up with me are you?" Jack stroke his chin, oh no, oh no, oh no. I bet he was going to break up with me. With just a few steps he walked across the floor and kneeled down in front of me, taking my hands.

"Leah," Jack exclaimed. "What is it with I love you that you don't understand. I love you… it doesn't matter if you are in a wheelchair, or…" Jack seemed to brainstorm. "Or… winning American idol or… in a coma for years… I still love you…. And just admit it… breaking up with you for this would make me a complete jerk." I laughed and bent forward to kiss my boyfriend. I laid my arms around his shoulders- even though, to sit like this-Jack had to keep in a very uncomfortable position.

"I love you." My words were barely more than a whisper as I rested my chin against Jack's shoulder. "By the way Jack… what are you doing here?"

"I was worried after we talked yesterday. And dad has a job to do here, he was going to send one of his co- workers but I managed to convince him that he could go and I could come along." Jack leaned further back and stood up again. "So this is the glee- club or…?" He looked around. "Ehrm… well… I'm Jackie McCall, but… everyone calls me Jack. Ehrm… sir?" Jack walked over to Mr. Schue. "If you don't mind… I would like to sing something."

"Of course… and please… call me Mr. Schue."

"Sure… Mr. Schue." Jack pulled up a twist folder of his backpack, and pulled out a couple of papers from it. He placed it at the piano and sat down, placed his hands at the notes and hit a few of them.

"First." He exclaimed. "Every time I sing… Carrickfergus we can just pretend I sing Lima. Just like I do, when I sing this at home and… I think of and wish a very special girl." He looked to me, there were spread Awwwww's in the room. I just smiled- my boyfriend had to be the sweetest boyfriend ever, I thought as Jack started playing and singing.

"What a voice… What. A. voice!" Mr. Schue stood up and clapped. "Oh and further on… this week's assignment is something I do as a week every once in a while… I want you all…. To do songs about how you feel or think… at the moment. Just like Jackie here did." Mr. Schue clapped Jack's shoulder.

Amy POV

"So you finally decided to join the glee club?" I asked Rafaél as we walked out of the choir room. I had lost count of how long I had been nagging him about joining New Directions.

"Yeah… I mean… it's not like you nagged me to do it… except for… last week… and last month… whole last year…" Rafaél answered, in his light Spanish accent, as he threw his head backwards to get the fringe out of his eyes and peered and smirked in that way that made me feel weak in the knees.

"So how d'you feel about it then? Feel like you made the right decision to let the world know you're a singer?" Rafaél smirked again, he'd told me that I, his mum and Adelina was the only three that had ever heard him sing before today, and that before two years ago when Adelina was born, I was the only one since I had heard him sing in Kindergarten.

"Well… I like it… but what others think about it it's up to each and every one of themselves." I nodded, as I pulled my coat out from my locker and together I and Rafaél headed towards Miss Michaels' day- care, where both my four year old brother Alex, and Rafaél's sister Adelina- almost three spent their days, as Connor Atkins came catching up with us.

"Hey guys," he said slowing down to our pace. "Are you headed for Miss Michaels´?"

"Yeah." I answered. "Oliver's there too right?"

"Yes…. Ehrm…" he turned to Rafaél and held out his hand. "Connor by the way. Connor Atkins."

"Rafaél Gerardo." They shook hands, and something I hadn't seen before appeared in Rafaél's eyes, though it was gone before I had the chance to look again- or find out what it was, as we three during chattering walked down the road to Miss Michaels'

"Hello." A care- worker at the day- care came and greeted us by the door- I hadn't met him before so I guessed he was just stand- in for someone else. "Are you here to get someone?"

"Yep, I'm here to…" Rafaél began before a dark- haired girl came running out in the hallway.

"Ralfie." She shouted, Rafaél kneeled down so he could hug her in her height.

"Hola el Corazon." Rafaél greeted his sister in Spanish, he continued talking, but the greeting was all I had understood, I turned to the man, Connor had turned to- as every afternoon find Oliver- wherever he was hiding this time.

"I'm here to get Alex Clance." I told the man, just as Alex came walking through the door.

"Hey Amy." He sat down, I kneeled down too to help him put his shoes on, before I took Alex' hand and Rafaél took Adelina's and we started walking towards our street- Connor and Oliver lived in the other direction from the day- care.

"Rafaél." Adelina suddenly exclaimed. "Alex kissed me today."

"I did not." Alex answered, but at the tone in his voice- I knew Adelina was telling the truth.

"You did!"

"Did not!"

"You did!"

"Well that doesn't matter 'cause we're home now. I opened the wood- gate we had at our driveway to keep the smaller children- like Alex to get out on the road.

"I did not kiss her." Alex said when I'd helped him slip out of his shoes and jacket, then he walked away, I walked out in the garden again and watched Rafaél and Adelina walk down the road.

I had been best friends with Rafaél since kindergarten, but last month I started feeling more for him. I felt as if we could be more than just friends, though I was too scared to admit it, if he didn't feel the same, I was too afraid it would ruin our friendship- I thought as I started humming on a refrain I knew suited my thoughts right now. It was so perfect to what I was thinking and made me wonder even more if I was ever going to be brave enough to tell it to Rafaél.

Leah POV

Jack came with me to the rehab, he lifted me up, and then wrapped his arms around me from back and told me to walk- and I could tell even with my face towards the room, I could tell he was smirking, as everything that was holing me up was Jack's arms. Lionel shook his head at us, as I took one step, then another, all the while with Jack following close behind me. At last, at the end of the room, Jack turned me towards him.

"I love you… you know that right." Jack smiled.

"Not as much as I love you." I kissed him. None of us noticed five- year old Ryan who came through the door with his mum. I knew he had rehab to learn to walk with a prosthetic leg.

"Ey guys." I heard Lionel's voice. "You'll have to do that somewhere else. There are children in here." I stared laughing, so did Jack as I felt him shaking when I leaned my head against his chest.

Well, well, well… I'm quite happy with this chapter… awww. Adelina… and if someone wonders… NO, I don't speak Spanish… I learned two new Spanish words just writing this chapter
