Jade's POV Now we are in the auditorium and rehearsing for the regionals with our chreography for regionals coming over. "Okay everyone take five because I hold in my hand, ladies and gentlemen, our competition for regionals. Drumroll, please. From North Central High School in Indianapolis, the Hoosierdaddies." Mr. Schue says to us. "That's very clever." Tina mumbled. "And from Our Lady of Perpetual Loneliness in Battle Creek, Michigan, the Nun-Touchables." Mr. Schue says to us. "Wait, is that a convent?" Blaine frowns. "Guys, I like our chances against both these squads, but we still got a lot of work to do." Mr. Schue says to us. "Mr. Schue, please stop talking." Brittany says to us. "I have an announcement. I regret to inform you a deadly asteroid is headed our way." Brittany says to us. "Wait, didn't we just go through this at Christmas?" Blaine asks Brittany. "Yeah, and is it true you and Sam got married? Did that happen?" Tina asks Brittany. "Shut up, Tina. I'm naming this comet. Tubbington-Bopp, and it is headed straight for Lima." Brittany says to us. "Wait, so is it an asteroid or a comet?" Artie asks. "It's both." Brittany simply said. "It cant be both." I frown. "Wouldn't NASA know something about this?" Marley asks. "We can't trust NASA. I mean, last month a meteor exactly like Tubbington-Bopp hit Russia with no warning at all." Brittany says to us. "Oh, so now it's a meteor." Artie simply said. "That's right, Artie, And when this meteorite hits, I will not be spending my time in this room preparing for regionals. I will be spending my last hours making amends with somebody who I need to get right with. Someone who I love very much. Lord Tubbington. So go back to your homes and hide your wife, hide your kids and hide your wife. McKinley High, I salute you." Brittany says to us and walk away. "I dont see anything in my telescope." I frown. "Maybe she has another type of telescope." Blaine says to me. I'm just shrug and exhale. It's kinda stupid actually because astronomy is my guilty pleasure and I had my secret place in the atfic for my research. ~~~~ "You didnt tell me that you have telescope in your house." Ryder says to me and standing next to my locker. "Dont mention that." I simply said. "Why? You are trying to hide something from your boyfriend?" Ryder raises his eyebrows at me. "No, it's just embarassing to tell people that I love astronomy and science." I said to him. "Baby, that's the thing that make you look smart in my eyes. Why are you embarassed with that?" Ryder chuckles. "That's not really me." I chuckle and shut my locker. "Okay, what about we go home and I will tell you about my attic room amd the telescope?" I raise my eyebrows at him. "Sure. And you can cook me food then we can have make out and study then make out again and study again." Ryder smirks at me. "Well, if you cant stop talking, we will play basketball and I will make you lose." I simply said and start walking. "You cant just run away from me like that because those jerks will kidnap you." Ryder simply said and holds my hand then walk next to me. We keep walking in the hallways and holding hands at each other. My life is changed when I'm with Ryder and it feels different. Really different. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Glee Club Now we are in the choir room for the glee club. I'm just sitting down on the seat next to Ryder as he hug me from my left side and looking at Brittany talking about her astronomy research. "I'm really surprised that Jesus Christ Superstar has chosen to end the world this way instead of the way he killed off the dinosaurs, which was a global yeast infection." Brittany says to us. "Do you think God will let me be a girl angel in heaven?" Unique says to us and sit down on her seat. "Wait, there are girl and boy angels? Does that mean you can have angel s*x?" Sam frowns. "Really?" I frown. "All right. Show of hands. Who's worried about. Brittany's meteor/asteroid/comet prediction?" Mr. Schue asks us as only Sam who raises his hand. "Okay. Well, here's how I see it. There are two possible outcomes. First, the meteor misses us and we go to regionals and we kick butt, which will only happen if we prepare. Or we only have a few days to live and if that's the case, we need to say everything we need to say to the people we love. I can tell you from those couple of weeks where I couldn't talk to Emma that there is nothing worse than unfinished business with the one you love. And meteor or no meteor any moment you have with those people might be your last one. Bruce Springsteen always says that he plays every show as if it's his last, and that is the kind of urgency we need at regionals this year." Mr. Schue says to us and walk to the white board and write 'Last Chance' on the white board. "So this week we're either gonna sing our last songs to each other or get in touch with what it feels like to do that." Mr. Schue says to us. The bell rings. "Okay, everyone. Let's make the most of it." Mr. Schue smiles at us. I take my ransel and stand up from my seat and walk away from the choir room. I walk in the hallways and turn my way to the library and do my own research for this shooting stars. "I know you deep down curious with my mytology about the meteors." Brittany suddenly standing next to me. "No, I didnt." I shake my head. "And why are you looking for astronomy book?" Brittany smirks at me. "Look, they called you a new Santana then Santana and I were in love and we both also bestfriend. You can join my astronomy club." Brittany says to me. "Okay what are gonna do?" I raise my eyebrows. "Follow me." Brittany says to me and take my hand then walks lead me. "Wait, where are we going to?" I ask Brittany. "My astronomy club." Brittany grins at me and keep walking lead me until we enter astronomy classroom. "Hey club we got a new member here." Brittany says to them and let me to sit down on a seat. I just raise my eyebrows then sit down on a table and looking at the others and a bit curious about this astronomy club actually. So let's just follow it. ~~~~ I'm standing in front of my locker and read the astronomy prediction that Brittany gave me. It kinda confused me and I dont believe this because my telescope and my prediction isnt get the same thing. "Hey where have you been?" Ryder suddenly hug me from behind. "Your locker is in the next one." I simply said. "Besides we met this morning for glee club." I said to him. "And we didnt meet for about five hours." Ryder says to me. "What is this?" Ryder take my paper from my hand. "I joined Brittany's astronomy club." I said to him and take my ransel then shut my locker. "You said you dont believe in her theory." Ryder raises his eyebrows at me. "I didnt but she kidnapped me when I went to library and looking for astronomy book." I lean my back against the locker. "Well, I guess I also want to kidnap you." Ryder simply said then take my hand. "Where are going to?" I ask him. "I already prepare something." Ryder grins at me. "Do you have a white fluffy puppy that I ever ask?" I raise my eyebrows at him. "No, you never ask me for that, babe." Ryder frowns at me. "Oh okay." I simply nodded. Ryder keep walk lead me until we enter the choir room and the band is ready there. Ryder hi-five with Brad then he throw his ransel to the corner. "According to the glee club assignment this week. I just wanna sing a song for you. The last song I sang for you was stupid but this time I will make sure you'll love it. Because this is one of your favorite song you ever told me." Ryder holds my hands then lift me up and make ne sit down on the piano. Ryder: It's a little bit funny this feeling inside I'm not one of those who can easily hide I don't have much money but boy if I did I'd buy a big house where we both could live If I was a sculptor, but then again, no Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show I know it's not much but it's the best I can do My gift is my song and this one's for you And you can tell everybody this is your song It may be quite simple but now that it's done I hope you don't mind I hope you don't mind that I put down in words How wonderful life is while you're in the world I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song It's for people like you that keep it turned on So excuse me forgetting but these things I do You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue Anyway the thing is what I really mean Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen And you can tell everybody this is your song It may be quite simple but now that it's done I hope you don't mind I hope you don't mind that I put down in words How wonderful life is while you're in the world I hope you don't mind I hope you don't mind that I put down in words How wonderful life is while you're in the world "Yeayy." I'm clapping at the end Ryder finished his song. "Do you love it?" Ryder smiles at me. "I do. That was beautiful. Thank you." I smile back at him then hug him. "I love you." Ryder smiles at me. "I love you." I smile back at him. He cup my cheek then push his face closer to me then kiss me softly. I just put my hajd around his shoulder then kiss him back. This is really beautiful. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Now back to the choir room for the glee club. Mr. Schue is already here but he said that we need to coach Beiste since she want to join us here and having glee club together with us. "Hey, Will, you wanted to see me?" Coach Beiste walks in. "We wanted you to join us for our first annual. Thank God the World Isn't Ending glee practice." Mr. Schue says to coach Beiste. "It's where I can throw Junior Mints at Marley without feeling bad about it again." Kitty grins and walks in. "Sit down." Mr. Schue says to Kitty. "Mm, I don't know, Will." Coach Beiste says to Mr. Schue. "Come on, we're gonna sing some songs, maybe bust out a few dance moves. I may even rap." Mr. Schue chuckles. "Okay." Coach Beiste smiled at us. "All right! Let's get started." Mr. Schue smiles at us. Suddenly a shoot gun begin then follows with scream from some students outside. Until another shoot gun begin again and everyone outside start screaming and the fire alarm ringing. "Everyone just spread out and hide, spread out and hide." Mr. Schue says to us. Ryder takes my hand and bring me to the corner and hide our body between the stereo along with Marley, Jake, and Kitty. "Here, hey, guys, guys, guys. Start texting, tweeting, let everyone know what's going on. But don't tell them we're here, all right? Shooters have smartphones, too." Mr. Schue says to us. I left my phone in my bag and I dont know how this is happening. Mr. Schue and coach Beiste already locked all this room and turn off the lights and cover the door with something hard so the shooters cant get in. Tears slowly fall down to my face and I'm start crying. Marley and Kitty are sitting down opposite us lean on the stereo meanwhile I'm in between Jake and Ryder. I lean my head on Jake's shoulder and he put his hand around my shoulder. "Call mom. Text her." I'm crying. "I'm doing that. It's okay, you're with me." Jake kisses my forehead and pull me closer to him. Suddenly there are some steps of someone's running from upstairs then trying to open our choir room door but he cant until another big loud bang come out. "I'm afraid." I'm crying. Sam start crawling from his seat on the corner then walk to the door about to go out but Mr. Schue and coach Beiste stops him. "What are you doing? Sam, get down. Get down. Get down." Mr. Schue stops Sam and hold him as he is trying to go out. "I have to go. Brittany doesn't have her phone on her. She's in the bathroom. She left it here." Sam's crying and trying to go out. "Sam, Sam, sit down. Sam, sit down." Coach Beiste stops him. "Tina isn't here, either." Blaine starts sobbing. "Who are you texting?" Kitty asks Marley. "It's my mom. There's no back way out when you're in the kitchen." Marley start crying again. "It's okay, it's okay." Mr. Schue says to us. "Where is she? I don't know why she's not answering." Marley's crying. "She'll be okay. No one's gonna hurt your mom. Everyone really likes her." Kitty says to Marley. "Marley. When we were doing Grease, I took in all your costumes so that you'd think you were fat. I'm so sorry." Kitty start crying then she and Marley just hugging at each other. "Jade, I was the one who put cockroach inside your sneaker first time you went this school and I'm so sorry for that. I didnt mean to but I really like you and we both are like partner in everything. You're my homegirl and those past week I didnt lie to you in everything." Kitty's crying then hugging me. I just hug her back and still crying. "I knew that but that's okay. Just forget it." I'm crying. "I have to go." Kitty says to us and about to go. "Where are you going?" Marley is trying to stop her. "I have to go." Kitty shakes her head. "No, are you crazy?" I was trying to stop her. "Shh." Mr. Schue hissed as Kitty start crawling from our place. "Kitty. Stay down. Kitty.Kitty. Kitty. Kitty. Kitty." Mr. Schue hissed until Kitty sit down with Unique on the other side. Then Sam is stand up again and trying to go out. "Stay down. Get down! Sam. Sam." "I have to go. I got to go. She's out there all alone, she doesn't have anybody out there." Sam yelled and crying and trying to go out. I'm still crying and lean my head on Ryder's chest. This is freak me out. I'm scared. Really scared. Terrifying. "Sam, no." Mr. Schue holds him. "I have to go, I don't care." Sam is still trying go out. "Come on, Sam." Coach Beiste says to Sam. "I don't care." Sam protest. "Come on, Sam!" Mr. Schue is still holding Sam's body. "No, let go of me! I'm going! I don't care! I don't care!" Sam yelled. "Sam, listen. You are putting everybody's life in danger. Look at them. Look at them. Look at them." Mr. Schue says to Sam and points at us. "Sam, it's okay. It's okay, Sam. Sam, go sit. Go sit with Artie. Go sit with him. Shh." Coach Beiste says to Sam and Sam finally sitting down next to Artie. "I dont wanna trap here forever." I'm crying out loud. "We wont." Marley holds my hand and move to sit down next to me. "We will get out of here. It's okay." Ryder rubs my sleeve and kisses my head. "I'm afraid." I'm sobbing. "I'm here, baby. I'm here." Ryder's sobbing and pull me closer to him. Mr. Schue whisper something to coach Beiste then he open the door slowly and crawling then go out from the choir room. Artie pull his wheelchair closer to him and take a handycam from his bag and turn it on. "Artie, what are you doing?" Blaine asks Artie. "If we don't get out of here, people need to see this." Artie says to Blaine. "Does anybody have anything they want to say?" Artie asks us. "Yeah. Me." Ryder says to Artie as Artie turn his camera to Ryder. "I love you, Dad. Thanks for, like everything.nAnd I know I don't always let you know, but you've taught me a lot." Ryder says to camera. Artie turn his camera to me as I'm still crying. "Mom, I love you very much and thanks for being the best single parents for me. There is a journal in my book shelf in the attic and I wrote many things about you there." I said to the camera. Artie just half-smiled at us then he turn his camera to Marley. "There's a fake bottom to my desk drawer. If you look under it, um there's a journal with a bunch of songs that I wrote. I've never told anyone, but I'm really proud of them." Marley says to the camera. "Uh Mom, Puck I love you guys." Jake says to the camera as Artie turns his camera to us. "You guys." Coach Beiste hissed. Artie turn his camera to Sam but Sam just cover the lens. Turn it off. Please turn it off." Sam says then Artie turn his camera off. I leave Ryder's chest and hold Marley's hand. It's almost one hour we all are trapped here and my tears cant come out again only sniffles. This is terrifying. Ryder take my right hand and hold it really tight. Mr. Schue is finally back to us with Brittany and two others student follow him. Sam start hugging with Brittany and they both crying through this. "All clear!" Someone shouts from the outside. "Is everybody here?" Brittany asks us. "All clear! All clear! All clear! All clear!" "My God." Ryder mumbled. I wipe my tears away and turn my face at Ryder and we start hugging at each other. I turn my face at Jake and hug him really tight as Jake kisses my head and rubs my hair. "Come here. Come here. Come here. Come here." Mr. Schue says to us and spread his arms. "Where's Tina?" Brittany asks. "You guys get over here. You guys, come here." Mr. Schue says to us as we start hugging at each other in a round. "You kids, get in here. Come here." Coach Beiste says to us. "It's okay. It's okay. We're all here. I love you all. I love you guys. Every one of you. You guys were awesome." Mr. Schue says to us. This is the most scared thing in my life. I love watching movie about terrorist or even war but this is first time I heard gunshot and it was really terrified me. Literally. ~~~~ I'm sitting down on the sofa in living room and cover up my body with my blanket and hold a cup of hot chocolate as Jake is sitting down on the other sofa and hold his guitar. I'm still cant believe about what just happened few hours ago. Really scared me. "But at least you both are safe right." Mom says to us and sit down next to me. "I was just cant stop thinking about you." I said to mom and lean my head on her shoulder. "That was the scariest thing in my life." Jake says to us. "I know guys, I know. I even cant stop calling your school council after you sent me messages." Mom says to us and rubs my sleeve. "But we are home now. Together. Three of us. There is nothing to be afraid of." "Still it's terrifying me." I said to mom. "It's okay. It's okay." Mom rubs my hair and kisses my head. It's still terrified me but I got something to learn. About be honest and live like this is our last day. Literally, terffied me. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Since the gunshot yesterday now all of us who want to enter McKinley have to pass the metal detector and everything we brought have to be checked. Then the police check out our locker one by one and those things that shouldnt be at school been take off. They take Jake's scooter and my binoculars from my locker. I just half-smiled looking at those and exhale as Ryder put his hand around my shoulder. "I have something to talk to you." I said to Ryder and walk lead him. "What is that?" Ryder asks me. I stop our way in front of the choir room and hold his hands as my tears slowly fall down to my face and start crying again. "Babe, what's wrong?" Ryder frowns at me. "That day when I helped you with slushied, it was fake. Jake and I were planning to make you stay away from Marley and makes you like me so I did that but I swear I didnt pay Phil and Bobby for that. And then when I tied your shoelace, it was also fake but when I told you that I love you, it wasnt fake. I really meant it and I do love you because you changed my whole life and you made me feel special. I'm really sorry. I just wanna be honest with you." I'm crying. Ryder pulls my hands and hugs me really tight. "If you didnt tie my shoelace, I wouldnt be in love with you. It's okay. It's okay, baby." Ryder rubs my hair and still hugging me. "I'm really sorry." I'm crying in his hug. "It's okay, baby. It's okay." Ryder pull me closer to him. "We have secret meeting with glee club right now. Come on." Ryder wipe my tears away and hold my sleeves. "Even though it was fake, I know that deep down inside there is feeling of your honesty." "Forgive me?" I raise my eyebrows at him. "You did nothing wrong, baby." Ryder rubs my cheek. I wrap his hand and half-smiled at him. He smiles at me then pull his face closer to me and kisses me softly. I just kiss him back and cup his cheek. "We have secret meeting with glee club." Ryder put his hand around my shoulder as we start walking together. I put my hand around his waist and keep walking in the hallways then turn our way to the auditorium for having glee club secret meeting with the others and didnt attend the mandatory school assembly. I sit down on the bench and sit down in front of Ryder as he hug me from behind and everyone just hugging at each other and comforting to one another.
