You, Him, and I (Glee Fanfiction)

Chapter 26

Regionals

Today is regionals day and I should be happy but I cant. I'm so sad right now. I really want to disappear from this show choir competition.

I keep looking myself in front of the dressing mirror and doing nothing. The others are busy with their stuff and make up.

I told my parents that if today New Directions win, I wont move with them and I want to stay but if we lose, no options and we will move to Manchester and it will be my last regionals with New Directions or maybe my last regionals ever.

"Mad, can you help me with this?" Finn standing behind me.

I wipe my tears quickly and turn my face at him. "Yes, here." I said and stand up to fix his tie.

"You've been crying?" Finn asks me.

I shake my head. "No, I'm not."

"We will win this. Dont worry. We will win and you stay here with me, with us." Finn says to me.

"What if we lose?" I raise my eyebrows.

"We will win. Trust me." Finn hold my sleeve.

"I just dont wanna leave everything here." I let my head down.

Finn cup my cheek and make me turn my face facing him. "Look at me! We will win this."

I didnt say anything but keep look into his eyes until he pushes his face closer to me and kisses me softly and I kiss him back.

"We are gonna make it. Dont worry." Finn smiles at me.

I just nodded at him and built a smile on my face and fix his tie before the show begin.

Suddenly the bells of auditorium is ringing. It's mean for the show time. We then walk out from the green room to the audience seat to see our rival performances.

I sit down on the audience seat next to Mercedes and the other seat is empty and look around. My parents said that they will come to see live New Directions performance and win this. I really hope we can win so I wont move to another place.

"They will come and we will win this." Puck sit down next to me. I turn my face at him and frown at him. "We are so much better than them." Puck hold my hand.

I just half-smile at him and lead my head on his shoulder. Waiting for the show begins.

"Ladies and gentlemen welcome to our first contestant, from Fort Wayne, Indiana. Westvale High School, Aural Intensity!!"

Aural Intensity come out from the stage and sing Jesus Is My Friend. I'm not really afraid with them but I'm really curious about The Warblers performance.

They finally ended up their performance. Not really bad I think and it's really piss me off.

The next performance is from The Warblers. First song is they sing Candles by Hey Monday and it was cool.

"This is pissing me off." I sigh.

"Babe, we wont lose from bunch of gays." Puck says to me.

"I'm afraid." I said to him.

"Everything will be fine." Puck strokes my hair.

Second song from The Warblers is Raise Your Glass by P!nk. God, this is really pissed me off. I dont even have any guts to see this and hide my face on Puck's chest.

The ended up their performance with full of clapping. The guy with too much hair gel is their leader like really have a good voice.

"Guys, backstage." Mercedes says to us.

"Come on." Puck takes my hand and walk lead me.

I keep look around the audience seat looking for my parents and they is still not coming. Oh God.

We walk to the backstage. To make show circle. I hold my hand to hide my tears and my nerve. I really dont know what to do right now.

"Alright guys, show circle!" Mr. Schue says to us.

We then make a circle. As the tradition before the shows begin.

"Before we perform can I say something?" I turn my face at Mr. Schue. Mr. Schue just nodded at me. "My parents is still not here, I told them to come to see our performance and I dont know it might be my last regionals with you guys and my last regionals ever." Tears fall down to my face. "I still have another year in McKinley if I want to but I dont know what happen with my other next year in Manchester. Too much things that unforgetable happened in McKinley, in Lima and I dont wanna leave that." I'm crying.

"No one is leaving and no one is moving." A familiar man's voice.

I turn my face and see my parents is here. "Mom? Dad?"

"Listen, win or not. We stay here. We stay in Lima. We can postpone our moving until you graduated. I'm sorry, I always selfish and only think about myself. I'm sorry, princess. Dont cry anymore." Dad smiles at me and wipe my tears.

"Thanks to those kids. They made us change our mind." Mom smiling at me and pointed at the others.

"You guys did that?" I turn my face at them.

"I'm sorry but we dont wanna lose our British-American friend." Kurt smiles at me.

"No way." I shake my head and wipe my tears. "Okay no more, show circle." I smile at them.

"Ladies and gentlemen welcome to the stage our last contestant from Lima, Ohio. William McKinley High the New Directions!!"

Rachel turn her face at us and half-smile then walk to the stage. Our show opening with her solo sing the song that she has been written before.

Rachel (with Brittany and Tina):

What have I done?

I wish I could run

Away from this ship going under

Just trying to help

Hurt everyone else

Now I feel the weight of the world

Is on my shoulders

What can you do when your good isn't good enough,

And all that you touch, tumbles down?

'Cause my best intentions keep making a mess of things

I just wanna fix it somehow

But how many times will it take

Oh, how many times will it take for me

To get it right

To get it right

Can I start again

With my faith shaken

('Cause I can't go back and undo this)

I just have to stay

And face my mistakes

(But if I get stronger and wiser)

Rachel with Brittany and Tina:

I'll get through this

What can you do when your good isn't good enough,

And all that you touch, tumbles down?

'Cause my best intentions keep making a mess of things

I just wanna fix it somehow

But how many times will it take?

Oh, how many times will it take for me?

Rachel:

To get it right

So I throw up my fist

Throw a punch in the air

And accept the truth

That sometimes life isn't fair

Rachel with Brittany and Tina:

Yeah, I'll send out a wish

Yeah, I'll send up a prayer

Rachel:

And finally someone will see

How much I care

New Directions Girls:

What can you do when your good isn't good enough

Rachel with New Directions Girls:

All that you touch, tumbles down

Oh, my best intentions

Keep making a mess of things

I just wanna fix it somehow

But how many times will it take?

Oh, how many times will it take?

Rachel:

To get it right

To get it right

Rachel ended up her solo with full of clapping from the audience. I feel bad because at first I hate her but now since she has sparkling with Quinn and Quinn is happy everything is changed.

We then went out from the backstage to sing our original song that we wrote together according to the entire school who hates us.

Before the song ends, Mike bring a slushie machine trolley to the stage then we take the cup and at the end of the song we threw that slushied to audience which the things inside is cutting paper with red colour.

Which this make the entire audience clapping and cheering for us. Hope we will make it better.

The curtain lifts down and we walk to the green room with our happy face. I cant imagine that my parents changed their mind and we will stay here at least until I graduate.

"Feel better now?" Finn asks me.

"Yeah I dont need to move." I chuckle.

"Glad that because I still can see your smile." Finn smirks at me.

"Your tease isnt work on me anymore, fatty." I laugh and move my seat to another sofa.

"Guys, winner announcement!" Tina says to us.

We then walk to the stage in hurry. Really cant wait to get our regionals trophy and we will go to the New York and have our nationals there.

"Ladies and gentlemen this is the time we are waiting for. The first winner of 2011 Midwest Regionals Show Choir Championship will go to Nationals in New York." The judges says.

We are standing on the stage and holding hand each other and waiting for the winner announcement.

"On the third place goes to Aural Intensity!" The judges says and give the trophy to them.

"Now it's time for the best of the best and the one who will go to Nationals in New York goes to NEW DIRECTIONS!!!!! Which mean that The Warblers got the second place." The judges says and give the biggest trophy to us.

We are cheering and smiling happily. Finally, nationals is in front of our eyes and we will coming over to the nationals.
