Final wee note: It has been brought to my attention that my grammar sucks, which i was well aware of. Im pretty sure i did say excuse my bad spelling and grammar, but never mind! :D BUT since i have a beta now, i shall get her to look over chapters 1 - 6. Once she has done this i will re post. (: This whole process will take a while, as she has a life, and i have a life funnily enough :D So i will be replacing the old chapters for the next week or two. Please bare with me whilst this happens. Chapter 7 will be up this time next week (or possibly sooner!:)). I know i said i would try every 2 - 3 days, but for unforeseen circumstances, i will no longer be able to keep that up. Sorry.
Review?
Finns POV
We were all back at McKinley, it was strange for me to walk down these halls again. It was like I was the 17 year old version of myself again, trying to figure out what to do with my life. I was really just another Douche bag when I think back to my time in high school. When I first started McKinley I was throwing Kurt into the Dumpster. My own brother. Sure, he wasnt my brother back then... But it still feels wrong thinking about it now. I had multiple girlfriends, I even bullied the whole glee club before Mr Schue convinced me to join. Convinced may not be the right word. I think they call it blackmail. Mr. Schue planted marijuana in my locker. How Mr. Schue got the marijuana, I will never know. I then had two choices; join the glee club or have two months detention. Back when I was 17, detention seemed like it was the end of the world. So I reluctantly joined the glee club, and became the male lead of the group. Glee managed to open me up to a joy, that I didnt even know existed. Even Santana and Brittany joined, at first they were there to try and tear the glee club down, from the inside. But they began to really enjoy it. I never won that football scholarship, that I should have won. Kurt had a horrible high school career. He was so talented and yet nobody could see that, he was the only out kid at our school. Which meant daily slushie facials and weekly Dumpster tosses, even after I had stopped doing them to him, it still continued to happen. Although once Me and Puck joined the glee club the bullying happened less frequently. In the whole three years i was in the Glee club we only ever won nationals once. We were the only team to ever win nationals from McKinley.
"Hey Mr Schue its good to see you!" I said as I lunged in for a hug.
"Finn!"
"Hey Mr Schue!" Kurt announced in his shrill voice, Kurt hugged Mr. Schue, once I had let go of him.
"Kurt!" a chorus of "Hi Mr Schue" Followed.
"Wow! Hey guys! Its good to see you. What are you all doing here?"
It was 11am and we had all gathered in the choir room, Mr Schue was delighted to see everyone again. We spent hours and hours catching up. It turned out that Me and Kurt were doctors, Puck was a lab specialist and researcher. Brittany and Santana were nurses. Mike and Tina had their own business teaching kids to sing and dance. Mercedes had released two albums and Sam had been a serious model for a few years. Artie was a director and Kitty was an actress and stunt double. It was so weird, we had all grown up so much. But it felt like we hadnt lost a beat.
"Who are your friends?" Mr Schue asked once the chatter had died down.
"Im Rachel Berry, Intern and Friends with Finn."
"Friends my ass Berry, you have been all love heart, eyes, ever since you meet Finn." Santana announced.
"No, I havent!" Rachel insisted, blushing bright red.
"Santana..." Mr Schue warned.
"Im Quinn Fabray, Im a Nurse and dating Noah here"
"Wow, okay. How long have you two been together?" Mr Schue asked.
"About a month." Quinn answered.
"No Mr. Schue, the baby is not mine. She has moved in with me as she was in an abusive relationship."
"Im so sorry Quinn." Mr. Schue Murmured.
"Dont, Noah saved me. I have never felt better."
"Thats great. Puck, its good to see how much you have grown up." Mr Schue noted.
"Yeah... I dont know when it happened, but it did." Puck noted also.
"It scared the crap out of me, it literally happened overnight." Kurt said, I chorus of laughter filled the choir room.
"I had an epiphany, okay?" Puck grumbled.
"Well, Im glad you did." Quinn said, grinning at Puck.
"Whats your name kid?" Mr Schue asking Blaine.
"Blaine Anderson and Im also an intern and... And..." Blaine struggled how to explain why he was here.
"He is in love with Kurt and Kurt is in love with Blaine. But they wont admit to their feelings and avoiding each other." Puck announced. Both Boys blushing hard. "And Blaine is here because we were going to see if they would at least talk and he is Rachels best friend and the kid doesnt talk much and he seems nice enough so we all agreed he could come..." Puck finished.
"Okay..." Mr Schue began.
"Sounds like you guys still have all this drama in your life, me and Brittany sorted out our shit and are happily together..." Santana said, once again on one of her big long rants that was all about her.
"Santana shut the fuck up would you. Who took almost 3 and half years to come out of the closet? That would be you!" I all but screamed in her face.
"You know what frankentween? Its because when we were 16, and gay or even remotely bi - sexual. Nobody, and I mean nobody would come near you because they thought they could catch the gay. It was hard being gay when we were that age." Santana yelled back at me and stormed off.
"We accepted you!" I yelled as she was leaving.
"That wasnt enough, I was still bullied. You guys didnt know that. Because I didnt tell you. Because I didnt want you guys to be more of a victim than you were already. They would have targeted you guys too, if you guys had defended me. I didnt want that. Thats why I was a bitch to you guys, because I didnt want anybody to hurt any of you! ARE YOU FUCKING HAPPY YOU KNOW THE TRUTH NOW?" She screamed.
"What happened Santana?" Everyone questioned her. She let her breathing slow down before replying.
"They... They..."
"Who? Santana?"
"The jocks, they... They... Used to do stuff to me that would try and straighten me out..."
"Oh my god Santana, I am so sorry! I didnt know." I responded sadly. I looked over at Kurt, silently asking if this ever happened to him. He shook is head, he knew what I was asking. Thank god for that.
"You went through all that to protect us?" Artie questioned.
"Yes" Santana managed to get out between sobs. We were all stunned that deep down Santana had a heart, but what really shock us to our core was that knowing Santana was abused sexually at a high school where she should have been protected. We could have done something, but she was more worried about us. She could have talked to coach Sylvester, Ms. Pillsbury or anybody. But she just suffered through it. So she could protect us. She loved us more than we ever knew.
It felt like we were all 16 and 17 again. Except I had a friend who was a girl who I really liked. I still hadnt actually asked her out yet. We still hadnt had sex, which was really starting to piss me off! Glee club started at 3:30pm, all of us were busy preparing the perfect song to sing. I decided this was my moment to sing Rachel a love song. I had no idea what the perfect love song was.
"Hey Bro!"
"Whats up Puck?"
"Well, I thought that maybe I should sing with Quinn. Like you know a duet." I gasped in horror.
"I knew it was a bad idea, forget it Finn."
"Im kidding dude. Do it. What did you have in mind?"
"Just give me a reason."
"That will be a great song for you guys to sing." I smiled. "..Your voices will sound perfect together, i bet."
"Thanks man." Puck smiled. He was so in love.
"Puck do you know any good songs to confess your dying love for someone?"
"Is this for Berry?"
"Maybe."
"Well; there is Cant Fight This Feeling by REO Speedwagon, Let me Love you (until you learn to love yourself) By Ne - Yo, Your Song By Elton John, Just The Way You Are by Bruno Mars, Chasing Cars By Snow Patrol and Something by the Beatles, thats just off the top of my head. Youll figure something out, any of those songs, would be perfect for you to sing to Rachel.. Just go over all the lyrics for all the love songs you know, then figure out which lyrics have the words you want to say. Then sing it." Puck smiled bashfully.
"Thank dude."
"Your welcome man." He walked off, and I began my search for the perfect love song for Rachel.
I was going to have to sing. I wanted the perfect song. A love song. So I could sing it to Rachel. So I could finally tell her that I have feelings for her... Okay, I love her. When I first meet her I thought she was cute and she would be a good lay. Then she got under my skin and stayed there, now I know, that I love her. This could be my one shot at love. I have to take it. After my terrible love life in high school, I had essentially given up on love.
"What up Glee? These people standing before you is the glee club from 10 years ago, my only team to ever win nationals. Im sure anyone of them could be the president of the united states..." Mr Schue announced to his underclassmen.
"I seriously doubt that." Artie snicked.
"Its because we had; my singing, Pucks bad boy presence, Santanas Sexiness, Brittanys Special - ness, Arties determination, Mike and Tina were Asian so we always got the Asian vote, Mercedes was black so we got the black vote and we had Sam, who was homeless so we managed to get the pity vote even though his family was homeless for about 3 weeks, and of course we had Finns dancing..." Kurt answered the underclassmen unasked questions. But Im pretty they were unasked for a reason.
"Finn were you a good dancer?" Rachel asked. All of the past glee kids laughed and I blushed.
"No Franketween would dance like he was a zombie who needed to poop." Santana answered snarky.
"Frankentween?" Rachel asked.
"That was my nickname back when we went here... Right snix?" I carefully worded my sentence.
"Of course." Santana answered with a smirk on her face.
"Why was she called that?" Rachel asked.
"Because she always meddled with everyones life." Kurt answered.
"She still is." I noted.
"True..." Puck and Kurt agreed at the same time.
"Enough guys!" Mr Schue announced. "Okay, these gals and guys are going to show you how to prepare a song with only a couple hours notice. I told them only about 4 hours ago that they needed to prepare a song for you guys and then perform it for you. First up we have Puck!" We all took our seats and clapped polity as Puck and Quinn took center stage.
"Hi, Im Puck. I am a researcher and Lab technician at the Lima state hospital. This is my current girlfriend Quinn, and she is pregnant. Not my kid though. Long story, maybe Ill explain another day. Anyway, when I first started the glee club back in the day. I was a bad ass. I barely went to class, and my grades were pretty shitty. Also, I would pretty much do anything that moved..." We were told to give a back story about ourselves and share why glee club helped us.
"WANKY" Santana yelled from her back corner. Puck smirked at that remark. I couldnt help but smile at all of my friends antics.
"Believe it or not I tapped one miss Santana Lopez when she was still in the closet. Glee helped me become a man. It really did. I managed to graduate with a B+ average. When I started glee club my average grade was a D-. I have the best job in the world. Because your teacher right there helped me see that I could be whatever I wanted to be... Anyway, Im rambling well just sing that song now."
Quinn:
"Right from the start
You were a thief, you stole my heart
And I your willing victim
I let you see the parts of me
That werent all that pretty
And with every touch you fixed them
Now youve been talking in your sleep, oh, oh
Things you never say to me, oh, oh
Tell me that youve had enough
Of our love, our love
Just give me a reason
Just a little bits enough
Just a second were not broken, just bent
And we can learn to love again
Its in the stars
Its been written in the scars on our hearts
Were not broken, just bent
And we can learn to love again"
Puck (Quinn):
"Im sorry I dont understand
Where all of this is coming from
I thought that we were fine (Oh, we had everything)
Your head is running wild again
My dear we still have everythin
And its all in your mind (Yeah, but this is happenin)"
Puck:
"Youve been havin real bad dreams, oh, oh
You used to lie so close to me, oh, oh"
Puck and Quinn:
"Theres nothing more than empty sheets
Between our love, our love
(Puck: Oh) Our love, our love (Quinn: Love)
Just give me a reason
Just a little bits enough
Just a second were not broken, just bent
And we can learn to love again
I never stopped
Youre still written in the scars on my heart
Youre not broken, just bent
And we can learn to love again"
Quinn:
"Oh, tear ducts and rust"
Puck:
"Ill fix it for us"
Puck and Quinn:
"Were collecting dust
But our loves enough"
Puck:
"Youre holding it in"
Quinn:
"Youre pouring a drink"
Puck:
"No nothing is"
Puck and Quinn:
"As bad as it seems
Well come clean"
Quinn:
"Just give me a reason
Just a little bits enough
Just a second"
Quinn and Puck:
"Were not broken, just bent
And we can learn to love again"
Quinn:
"Its in the stars
Its been written in the scars on our hearts"
Puck and Quinn:
"(Puck: That) Were not broken, just bent
And we can learn to love again"
Quinn:
"Give me a reason"
Puck and Quinn:
"Just a little bits enough
Just a second were not broken, just bent
And we can learn to love again
Its in the stars
Its still written in the scars on our hearts
That were not broken, just bent
And we can learn to love again
(Quinn: Oh) We can learn to love again
(Puck: Oh) We can learn to love again
Oh, oh, (Puck: That) were not broken, just bent
And we can learn to love again
Mm, mm, mm, ahh"
Damn Quinn sure knew how to sing. They began to kiss and everyone cheered.
"Alright next up we have Finn" Mr. Schue said.
"Well, my name is Finn, I was a jock back in the day. Me and Puck were best friends and we use to throw Kurt into the Dumpster before we became step - brothers. I graduated with an A- average. I went to medical school, with Kurt. Mr. Schue planted weed in my locker, then he gave me two options, join glee or two months or something of detention and that would go on my permanent record and when youre 16 that is the scariest thing ever. So I joined glee, and I became the male lead. The rest is history... Ill sing now"
"I cant fight this feeling any longer
And yet Im still afraid to let it flow
What started out as friendship, has grown stronger
I only wish I had the strength to let it show
I tell myself that I cant hold out forever
I said there is no reason for my fear
Cause I feel so secure when were together
You give my life direction
You make everything so clear
And even as I wander
Im keeping you in sight
Youre a candle in the window
On a cold, dark winters night
And Im getting closer than I ever thought I might
Im keeping you in sight
Youre a candle in the window
On a cold, dark winters night
And Im getting closer than I ever thought I might
And I cant fight this feeling anymore
Ive forgotten what I started fighting for
Its time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars, forever
Cause I cant fight this feeling anymore
Ive forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crashing through your door
Baby, I cant fight this feeling anymore
My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you
Ive been running round in circles in my mind
And it always seems that Im following you, girl
Cause you take me to the places that alone Id never find
And even as I wander Im keeping you in sight
Youre a candle in the window on a cold, dark winters night
And Im getting closer than I ever thought I might
And I cant fight this feeling anymore
Ive forgotten what I started fighting for
Its time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars, forever
Cause I cant fight this feeling anymore
Ive forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crushing through your door
Baby, I cant fight this feeling anymore"
Rachel walked over towards me.
"Thank you Finn, that was beautiful" She smiled.
"Rachel I really like you." I allowed myself to smile back. It was out in the open now. I said the words aloud. The truth was out. I had never felt better in my whole life.
"I figured as much." She smiled her bright, beautiful smile. I just went for it, I kissed her. I could feel her smiling against my lips.
"Rachel, Will you be my girlfriend?"
"Yes!" She smiled. Her lips were against mine again. The glee club clapped for us.
"Now we have two of my favorite girls from back in the day, Santana and Brittany. Take it away girls..."
"My Name is Brittany S. Pierce. I went to McKinley I was part of the Cherrios, I made out with Kurt when I was a sophomore..." I looked over to Blaine and his jaw was on the ground in surprise. "... I had sex with every boy in this school except Kurt because he refused to. But you know Kurt I would like to have a perfect record so if you ever want to hit me up." She winked in Kurts direction. "Ummm... I remember dancing a lot and I sang sometimes. I like my sweet lady kisses and I have a cat called Lord Tubbington. I had a F- Average then I took a test and it turned out I was a genius, so I went to smart people school. Glee club was a place that made me feel like me. They all made me feel like I was the smartest girl ever even though I was stupid back then... Oh no matter who tells you the square root of 4 is 2 its not... Everyone knows that the square root of 4 is rainbow. And Kurt poops glitter rainbow. Ive seen it, believe me..."
"Well, my name is Santana Lopez, I was a closeted cheerleader who was in love with my best friend Brittany. I originally joined the glee club to destroy it from the inside for coach Sylvester. Then I actually started to like it. It actually became my favorite time of my day. They accepted me for who I was even though I wasnt ready to be who I was yet. We had our ups and downs, but I loved these guys... So, uh.. Me and Brittany are going to sing our favorite duet we sang with each other during Whitney week back when we were your age, which seems like a million years ago now..." She looked towards the underclassmen.
Brittany:
"I wanna dance!
Clocks strikes upon the hour
And the sun begins to fade
Still enough time to figure out
How to chase all my blues away
Ive done alright up til now
Its the light of day that shows me how
And when the night falls my lonely heart calls
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
Ive been in love and lost my senses
Spinning through the town
Sooner or later the fever ends
And I wind up feeling down
I need a woman wholl take a chance
On a love that burns hot enough to last
So when the night falls
My lonely heart calls
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me"
Santana:
"Somebody who,
Somebody who
Somebody who loves me, yeah
Somebody who,
Somebody who
To hold me in her arms
Oh!"
Brittany:
"I need a woman wholl take a chance
On a love that burns hot enough to last"
Brittany and Santana:
"So when the night falls
My lonely heart calls...
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me"
Santana:
"Oooh, oooh
Come on baby, hahahaha"
Brittany:
"Wooh!
Yeah! (Dance)"
Santana:
"Now get with this, hahahaha
Woah woah woah, yeah!"
Brittany and Santana:
"Dont you wanna dance"
Santana:
"With me baby?"
Brittany and Santana:
"Dont you wanna dance"
Santana:
"With me girl?"
Brittany and Santana:
"Hey, dont you wanna dance"
Santana:
"With me baby?"
Brittany and Santana:
"With somebody who loves me.
Dont you wanna dance say you wanna dance
Dont you wanna dance?
Dont you wanna dance say you wanna dance
Dont you wanna dance?
Dont you wanna dance"
Santana:
"Say you wanna dance!
Uh huh!"
Brittany and Santana:
"With somebody who loves me."
"Wow, that was amazing! As the leader of the New Directions, I must say that was simply incredible, bravo girls, bravo." A red haired boy stood, and clapped his hands approvingly.
"That was truly wonderful, it was amazing back when you guys did it back in the day. But now, you two are simply incredible. Youre both so in sync, its beautiful..." Mr. Schue said a little choked up. I rolled my eyes, from day 1 Mr. Schue had wanted Brittany and Santana to get together. He like everyone else could see how perfect they were for each other, always at their best when they were with each other.
"...Okay, guys we can only fit one more song in for today... Artie and Kitty have asked for this spot and now will take it away.."
"Thanks Mr Schue... Okay, so Im Artie and back in the day when I was in the New Directions I was a total nerd, and surprisingly enough i wasnt in this chair, ill explain later. So I was in the A.V club, I dated Tina over there and brought her out of her shell, she even stopped stuttering..." Everyone looked towards Tina.
"You had to be there..." Tina Explained.
"Anyway, Finn was one of the cool kids to join the glee club and I have always admired him for defying the normal. Glee club as well as Finn made me feel like a normal kid even though I was a total nerd. After I graduated, I went to film school and became a very successful director then my wife, kitty and I came back to Ohio to film my latest film and we got into a car crash, I went to the Lima hospital and for some strange reason, Finn was there again, he was my hero. He helped me through the first tough weeks of being in this chair. Yeah, thats pretty much my life, except marrying this lovely woman here." He smiled tenderly at Kitty. She smiled back.
"Hi, my name is Kitty I was a couple years behind all these guys, I was a hot bitch..."
"PREACH..." Artie agreed.
"I was a cheerleader and I really was a bitch, I made peoples life hell, until I meet this man..." she pointed to Artie. "...Here in glee club. Something changed within me. Artie made me see the way he saw things. A place of love. I sang to my hearts content. Then when I was a junior Artie left to go to New York. We broke up and it broke my heart. I would Skype pretty much every day with him just to see his face. I never cheated on him or anything, I wanted to show him I could be faithful. Two whole years I worked hard and excelled in everything. Because I had nothing better to do. Once I graduated, I headed straight for New York I had no idea what I wanted to be, but I knew, I wanted to be with Artie. I turned up at his door and demand he let me stay with him for a while until I find my feet in New York. I kind of just sneaked into his room and before too long we were dating again. I found the perfect opportunity, a massive role in an up and coming movie. I was hired and I began to make it big. About 2 months after I finished my first movie Artie and I got engaged. We got married before too long. Both of us were making it big. About 3 months ago, Artie was proposed with a movie idea, he decided to film it here. We got into a crash car, Artie ah... Well, hes in his chair now. I felt like it was my fault. I blamed myself, for weeks. Well, yeah Im going to shut up now... And sing.
Artie:
"My love,
Theres only you in my life
the only thing thats right"
Kitty
"My first love
Youre every breath that I take
youre every step I make"
Artie:
"And I"
Kitty:
"(And I-I-I)"
Artie:
"I want to share"
Artie and Kitty
"All my love with you"
Artie:
"No one else will do.."
Kitty:
"And your eyes"
Artie:
"Your eyes, your eyes"
Artie and Kitty:
They tell me how much you care
ooh yes you will always be
My endless love
Two hearts,
Two hearts that beat as one
Our lives have just begun"
Kitty:
"And Forever"
Artie:
"(oooo)"
Artie and Kitty:
"Ill hold you close in my arms
I cant resist your charms"
Kitty:
"And love"
Artie:
"ohh love"
Artie and Kitty:
"Ill be a fool
For you,
Im sure"
Kitty:
"You know I dont mind"
Artie:
"Oh, you know I dont mind"
Artie and Kitty:
" cause you,
you mean the world to be
oh"
Kitty:
"I know"
Artie:
"I know"
Artie and Kitty
"Ive found in you
My endless love
do do do do do
do do do do do
do do doo doo
Oooh, and love"
Artie
"Oh, love"
Artie and Kitty:
"Ill be that fool
For you,
Im sure"
Kitty:
"you know I dont mind"
Artie:
"Oh you know -"
Artie and Kitty:
"I dont mind
and, YES
youll be the only one
cause no one no one can deny
this love i have inside
and ill give it all to you"
Artie:
"My love"
Kitty:
"My love, my love"
Artie and Kitty:
"My endless love"
All of the underclassmen were impressed by all of our talents. It was weird to be singing again, because many of us only sing in the shower nowadays. The day had been so revealing. It was the same when we were 16 we could tell each other pretty much anything and we would never judge each other.
It was now 6:17pm and we were still talking and laughing about the good old times.
"Guys, we should have a drinking party tonight. My place." Puck announced out of the blue. What was he planning, I wondered idly.
"Do you think thats a good idea? The baby in Quinns tummy is way too young to the party guys." Brittany worriedly said.
"She doesnt have to drink, Brittany." Santana noted.
"Sounds like fun." I agreed.
"I dont know about this..." Kurt grumbled.
"Stop being a sad sac, Hummel." Puck grumbled.
"Fine." A cheer of hoorays, were heard around the room.
