Childhood Friendship (Glee Fanfiction)

Chapter 31

Glee Club

"Alright everyone so I got this in my hand. The theme for our regionals this weekend and our rival." Mr. Schue walks in. "First of all thanks to Mr. Collins for sending me this. And the theme is motivation song." Mr. Schue grins at us. "And our rival for this competition are The Golden Goblets and Dalton Academy Warblers."

"Not bad." I mumbled.

"You didnt know about those things?" Finn asks me.

"No. Since I join the glee club my dad left all those files at his office in Columbus so I cant find that." I shake my head.

"Fair enough." Finn nodded.

"Okay so I already prepare the setlist and this is the setlist." Mr. Schue says to us and give us music sheet one by one.

I turn my face at Finn's paper and mine and it's differents. I turn my face at Brittany's paper and it's also different meanwhile Brittany's and Finn's are same.

"Mr. Schue, excuse me but this is a wrong one." I raise my hand and shows him the music sheet.

"It's not wrong, Madison." Mr. Schue shakes his head.

"Mr. Schue, I already prepare the song I'm gonna sing for solo." Rachel raises her hand and grins.

"Madison got the solo for this regionals." Mr. Schue says to us.

"What?" I frown.

"But Mr. Schue I need this for my NYADA application! It's really important to me. I really need that and I'm sure that she cant win this thing." Rachel protest.

"Excuse me, Hobbit. I can won sectionals and I'm sure she can do that. This is regionals not Rachel Berry's show. If you want to make your own show, just go ahead do that and I bet nobody gonna watch that." Santana glares at Rachel.

"Everyone deserves a chance, Rachel." Mr. Schue says. "Besides I want to show something different. Madison can play harp so she can do the solo with playing harp." Mr. Schue says.

"You can play that too?" Kurt frowns at me.

"She can play four differents music instrumental." Finn simply said.

I hit Finn's elbow with my elbow to stop him talking about that. I never tell anyone else about that but now I'm curious how could Mr. Schue know that.

"How could you know that?" I frown at Mr. Schue.

"I ever saw you play that in auditorium alone." Mr. Schue says nervously. "Alright so back to the setlist. Madison will do her solo first then The Troubletones and last New Directions. Deal with that?" Mr. Schue asks us.

"I like this song." Mercedes grins.

"Yeah? Good one, Mercedes." Mr. Schue smiles at us.

I just looking at my music sheet and turn my face at Rachel who seems unhappy with this. I know she really want this but deep down I do too. I want to make my dad see that I can win this thing and make him proud of me.

~~~~~~~~~

Now Kurt and I are in Lima Bean and finishing our work together for the upcoming events in McKinley.

"I'm thinking about prom and it should be Sadie Hawkins. What do you think?" I ask Kurt.

"So you mean that this time girl can ask guy first and the guy cant refuse?" Kurt raises his eyebrows at me.

"Yep." I nodded. "How?" I raise my eyebrows.

"That's a perfect idea. I love that. I have many things in my mind about the decoration." Kurt grins at me.

"Okay, noted." I said to Kurt and type on my laptop.

"Well, well, well. If it isn't an old Betty White and The Beautiful Jennifer Anniston." Sebastian suddenly walks to us and smirks at us. "Where is Gay Cyclops? Still trying to stumble his way in?"

"We can't come here anymore." Kurt rolls his eyes.

"Madison, I brough a gift for you for winning the senior class vice president." Sebastian grins at me and give me an envelope.

I raise my eyebrows and open that envelope until I got Finn's naked photo. "Oh, my God! Oh, no, this is photoshopped. His thing is not that small or brown. And he could never fit into those pumps." I shake my head and put that photo back to the envelope.

"You ever saw his thing?" Kurt frowns at me.

"I've done that thing with him on valentines day." I said quietly at Kurt.

"Just think, from now until eternity, every time someone Googles Finn Hudson, they'll be treated to that and dozens just like it.

That's the beauty of the Internet. It stays with us forever." Sebastian grins at us.

"What do you want, Sebastian?" I glare at him.

"I want a guaranteed Regionals win, so I want you to drop out. McKinley gets home-court advantage this year. You're going to come down with Asian bird flu or whatever Tina Blowing-Wang just had. I heard that you will get the solo part and I still remember how strong your voice when we had duet together." Sebastian smirks at me.

"But that is show choir terrorism. You give a bad name to the entire gay community." Kurt protest.

"And you give the gay community cutting-edge fashion that's usually only seen on Puerto Rican pride floats." Sebastian says to Kurt.

"I'm sorry I didn't hear you. I was distracted by your giant horse teeth." Kurt says to him.

"You have 24 hours to drop out, baby, or I press the upload button." Sebastian grins at me then walk off.

"God no. What if-what if he publish it on internet and our children will see that then they will be ashamed with their father. No, No, No." I shake my head.

"He is an evil." Kurt says to me. "But I'm curious how could he knows that you will get a solo? I'm sure Blaine blocked his number and Blaine wont tell anyone of them." Kurt frowns.

"I blocked his number too since Finn and I fighted that day." I said to Kurt. "Just forget it, I wont perform at regionals."

"But you need that so you can get into Pace University." Kurt protest.

"But if he post this, not only Finn who will feel embarassed but also me and your family. No. I cant." I shake my head.

"You throw your future for Finn?" Kurt frowns at me.

"Finn is my future. That's it." I simply said. "I will tell him and tell Mr. Schue tomorrow about this."

"Now I know why Finn really loves you." Kurt half-smiled at me and rubs my back.

I just half-smiled back at him and lean my head on his shoulder. Yeah this is better. I wont perform at regionals so Finn wont feel ashamed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now we are in choir room. Kurt and I already told Mr. Schue about this picture also Finn and this thing really make him mad.

"That's it. I'm done. I'm leaving this classroom, and I'm going to beat that Sebastian kid's ass!" Finn says angrily and about to walk off.

"Finn, chill." Mr. Schue stops him.

"No, I'm not going to chill. I-I'm done chilling." Finn protest.

"The official show choir rule book states that 'any real or perceived threat of violence, 'vandalism or humiliation will be met with a swift and unquestioned disqualification of the threatening party's team with extreme prejudice' it's right here.

Page 72, by-law 15, section six, article 44." Artie says while he read the book of show choir competition rules.

"Guys, I contacted the headmaster of Dalton." Mr. Schue says to us.

"Like you did when Sebastian almost blinded me? What did they do then? Same thing as they're going to do now nothing." Blaine frowns.

"See? They're doing nothing!" Finn protest.

"Finn, calm down! I'm not going perform at regionals okay." I said to Finn.

"You-you what? But you said that you want to make your dad proud of you and make him sure that you can enter Pace." Finn frowns at me.

"I dont care with that. If he posts that, you might lose your scholarship and you lose everything in front of you. My letter isnt coming yet. I'm fine." I said to Finn.

"See? Problem solved. So what song I'm gonna sing for regionals?" Rachel grins happily.

"You told him?" Finn frowns at Rachel.

"W-what? I-I dont understand." Rachel shakes her head.

"Finn, enough." I hold Finn's elbow to calm him down.

"No, Maddy! She did that again. She cant stop ruining your life!" Finn protest. "Tell me, you told Sebastian kid that Madison got the solo so he can threatened her and you can get the solo?" Finn glares at Rachel.

"No. I-I didnt." Rachel shakes her head nervously.

"What T-Rex said is absolutely make sense. You were the one who protest when Mr. Schue told us that Madison got the solo." Santana says to Rachel.

"You did that, Rachel?" Mr. Schue frowns at Rachel.

"I-I only told him that Madison will get a solo." Rachel says with her head down.

"How long you still want to ruin her life?!" Finn yelled angrily at Rachel.

"Listen, I'm just thinking about the future okay. If we win we can built our future and I can get into NYADA." Rachel says.

"You said 'us' but us for you only refers to you and your obsession!" Finn glares at Rachel. "Now, tell me what is the thing that she ever done to you? Did she ever lock you in a crack house? You know what? What you did is worse than what Quinn ever did. You hurt her mentally."

"Look, I did for us. I dont think about those stuff like that. I dont compromise with that." Rachel says.

"I'm over you, Rachel!" Finn yelled at Rachel. "Deal with that! You trapped me into your game twice! I'm done with you! Just hope that you'll get in and lost from this world." Finn glares at Rachel and walk off.

Tears slowly fall down to my face. I dont know that an obsession can make someone lost and never think that what she doing can hurt someone's feeling.

Kurt takes my hand then put his hand around my shoulder and comfort me as we walk out from the choir room until the others follow us and leave Rachel alone.

~~~~

"So you will spend this weekend alone at home?" Dad asks me.

"I have no choice. It's better than he posts that picture and spread it online." I said to dad.

"Come here." Dad spread his arms. I move my body closer to him and lean my head on his chest as my dad hug me. "You can help me with the regionals thing if you want. Better than you stay home and let me know who is the Rachel girl and that Sebastian guy."

"What are you gonna do?" I frown at dad.

"Just want to know." Dad says to me.

"Rachel is the one who kissed Finn during nationals in New York. The one who also doesnt have a mother but only two gay dads. Finn really mad at her today. He defended me and yelled at her then ran away from the choir room." I sigh.

Suddenly my phone is vibrating. I open my phone and I just got a news messages about Dave Karofsky. I dont really know him but I know him a bit since Kurt told me.

"What happened? Did he threatened you again?" Dad asks me.

"No. It's a guy named Dave Karofsky. He used to be school in McKinley until senior year he transfered and he got bullied in his new school because his sexuality and he attemped suicidal." I said to dad.

'That's really terrifying." Dad frowns.

"This is why I'd rather to stay at home than perform at regionals because I'm afraid if that picture give a bad effects to Finn's life." I let out a sigh.

"Honey, Finn wont do stupid thing like that." Dad rubs my hair.

"Dad, you know that the number of bullying is increasing nowadays? And the government has no idea what they have to do. It's sucks. Seriously." I said to dad.

"I'm sure you will get into Pace University. You will get that and I'll be fine with that." Dad smiles at me.

"You-you let me?" I raise my eyebrows.

"Yes. As long as you're happy with that. I want you to be happy because seeing you happy is my happiness. I'll be fine here. I will send you Lima Express ticket every week so you can come home every weekend and I'll be happy wait you come home and pick you up from the train station and say 'my baby girl is home!' Like that." Dad kisses my head.

"I love you so much." I hug dad.

"I love you more." Dad hugs me back and kisses my head.

"Dad, can you ask Jennifer Anniston to claim herself as my mom?" I raise my eyebrows.

"Honey, she is in L.A and I'm not Brad Pitt." Dad sighs.

"You usually went to L.A and maybe you were forget that what you see was Jennifer Anniston not that woman we met in New York with her new husband." I roll my eyes.

"So Jennifer left you for her carrer? Make sense. But no." Dad shake his head.

Suddenly the door bell rings. "Your beloves secretary must be come because her boss went home early for his daughter." I grunt.

"Dont be jealous. What if that's Finn?" Dad stand up from my bed and chuckles.

"Finn still have football." I simply said and hug my pillow.

"Well, let see." Dad chuckles and walk off.

I just lay my body on my bed, hug my pillow and cover my whole body with my blanket. I called my dad to come home early and told him that I was sick but he knew I lied and the fact I just want him comfort me.

"Who was that?" I ask dad as he go back to sit down on my bed and I'm still cover my body with my blanket.

"Me." Finn's voice.

I push my blanket away and turn my face. Finn is sitting down on my bed with his back against the wall.

"You okay?" I sit up and sit down facing him.

"The question is you okay?" Finn raises his eyebrows at me.

"I'm okay just little bit shocked because the news about Karofsky." I sigh.

"Look, I've been thinking about what Dave did, and I just want you to know that there's nothing that anybody could do and there's nothing that anybody could say about me that would make me want to do that." Finn holds my hand.

Tears slowly fall down to my face. "I dont wanna lose you or anything. I've been thinking if Sebastian posts that and those-those cyber bullying come to you and-and..." I'm crying.

Finn grabs my body and hug me really tight. "Listen, I dont care with that picture. I dont care with what the other people say. I just care about what you say about me. That's it. You still have to perform at regionals. This is your dream and dont break it off because of me." Finn rubs my back.

"I'm afraid..." I'm crying.

"Listen, there is nothing to be afraid of. Everything is fine now. I dont care with that picture anymore. I love you and this news makes everyone sad I guess. Maddy, everything will be fine. You dont need to be scared with everything. I'm here." Finn wipe my tears away.

"Dont leave me." I'm sniffle.

"I wont. I wont leave you. I dont care with that. I can cover my ear from those voice that talk about me and close my eyes." Finn hugs me and kisses my forehead.

I'm still sobbing and Finn is still hugging me and comfort me to make me stop crying. This is really terrifying.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm standing in front of my locker and put my book also my bag inside my locker and organizing it a bit. I look at my locker door and smiling at my photo with my dad. He wanted to stay with me until I fell asleep after Finn went home.

"Madison, can I talk to you for a second?"

I turn my face and Rachel is standing next to my locker with her head down. "About what? I wont perform at regionals so you can take the solo."

"I-I just wanna apologize for everything I did to you." Rachel start sobbing. "I know that you must be dont wanna forgive me but the news about Karofsky made me realize that one mistake that we did to other people can really hurt them so bad." Rachel's crying. "This is senior year and I just want to be friends with all of you and-and I'm really sorry for everything I did to you. I was jealous with you, you got everything and you're so talented and that's why I hated you. I apologize for everything I did and please-please to keep performing on regionals. Kurt, Blaine, Santana, and I were trying to talk to Sebastian yesterday and he destroyed all those picture so you dont need to worry. I'm really sorry. I promise I will stay away from Finn. I know why he really loves you because you're not the most selfish person like I am. You're so nice to another people and you always put them into number one than yourself. I'm so sorry. I just want this to end. We're same. We-we dont have a mother and we have dreams and future plans. Please I'm really sorry." Rachel's crying in front of me.

I didnt say anything but looking at her and hug her. I know she really meant her apology this time. I walk closer to her and hug her. "It's okay. You're forgiven. If you really need that solo, you can get that. I'm fine with that."

Rachel push my body away slowly and shake her head. "No, you deserves that. This is your chance. I dont wanna take it away."

"You sure? Thank you." I half-smiled at her.

"No. Thank you for forgiving me. I really meant what I said. I'm really sorry. Thousand times sorry." Rachel's sobbing.

"My dad said that forgiving wont make you lost your pride and apologize doesnt mean you're wrong, but it's a part of growing up because only people who has a big heart who want to apologize." I smile at Rachel. "It's okay just forget it." I rub her sleeve. "I also learn something from Karofsky tragedy."

"What a good advice." Rachel chuckles. "So back to be my friend?"

"Who said that you were my enemy?" I chuckle.

"Okay can I hug you once more?" Rachel giggles.

"Sure." I nodded and we start hugging each other. "It's okay. I already forget it." I smile at Rachel.

"Hey, Mr. Schue want us come to auditorium." Finn suddenly come to us.

"Alright, I have to go. I dont want to disturb both of you. Thanks, Madison." Rachel smiles at me and walk off.

"It's okay." I wave her a goobye and shut my locker.

"You gave the solo part to her?" Finn frowns at me.

"No. She cried and apologize to me." I said to Finn.

"Did she use a tissue paper?" Finn asks me.

"No. Why?" I frown.

"Because if she uses a tissue which mean that she fake it. I knew it because I got that three times." Finn ssys to me.

"She really meant it." I said to Finn and hold his elbow and we start walking together. "Seems like you know her so bad now." I chuckle.

"I like when you got jealous like that." Finn chuckles.

"Finn." I roll my eyes.

"Just kidding. I know her because she is my ex but I know you better than I know anyone else." Finn smiles at me.

I just smile back at him and keep walking with him until we got into the auditorium and everyone make a circle and we sit down on the stage together.

Mr. Schue walks in and sit down in the middle and hold a jar of peanut butter with one spoon.

"Mr. Schue, why do you have a jar of peanut butter with one spoon?" Mercedes asks.

"Yeah, there are 16 of us here, and I'm only comfortable sharing a spoon with about half of you." Sugar says.

"Well, it's come to my attention that our good friend Rory Flanagan has never tasted peanut butter." Mr. Schue says and stand up then give that peanut butter to Rory. "Rory, if you don't mind."

Rory taste that peanut butter then grin at us. "Oh, God Oh, my God That's the best thing I've ever had."

"Mr. Schuester, wow, that's incredibly moving." Kurt says.

"Yeah, Mr. Schue, what's the point of all this?" Finn asks.

"The point is Rory just had a brand-new experience, something as simple as peanut butter. You guys are young. I want you to promise me that, no matter how depressed you get, no matter how hopeless or alone you feel, you'll try your best to imagine all of the amazing experiences you have ahead of you." Mr. Schue says to us.

"Mr. Schue, look, I know we're a little dramatic sometimes, but I don't think anyone will ever consider taking their own life." Mercedes says.

"I did. Junior year. That was a tough year.

I, uh, I cheated on my math midterm. Peeked at the answers of the guy next to me and the teacher saw me do it." Mr. Schue says.

"Just 'cause you got caught cheating? I get caught cheating all the time." Puck says.

"They called my dad at his office, and he was coming to pick me up. How was I supposed to look him in the eye? I just kept cturing my dad so disappointed in me.

So I walked up to the roof. I went right to the edge. One step and all the pain and humiliation would be over." Mr. Schue says to us.

"Is that true?" Kurt asks.

"That day, I promise you, it felt like it was the end of the world. But you know what? It wasn't. You know, for some of you, getting caught cheating isn't a big deal.

But there's something everyone has something that might take them up to that edge. And look at all the things I would've missed out on. I would've never met you guys or Emma. I would've missed out on everything. So, right now, I want you all to think of something that you're looking forward to. Big things." Mr. Schue says to us.

"Someday, I want to earn enough money to buy my folks a new place, so they don't ever have to go through losing their home again." Sam says to us.

"I'm most looking forward to meeting Rachel Berry's children." Mercedes chuckles.

"I want to be there to see my kid's first steps." Artie says.

"I want to be there to see s*x and the City Part III." Sugar says.

"Wow." Mr. Schue chuckles.

"I'm sort of embarrassed to admit it, but I really do want to graduate high school." Puck says.

"I'm gonna petition the Army to change my dad's dishonorable discharge status to an honorable one." Finn says.

"I'm looking forward to meet my mom once again even though she doesnt wanna admit that I'm her daughter." I half-smiled.

"I'm looking forward to graduating from Yale at the top of my class." Quinn smiles at us.

"I'm looking forward to the day when my grandmother loves me again." Santana says.

"I want Lord Tubbington to kick his Ecstasy addiction." Brittany says.

"I am looking forward to marriage equality in all 50 states." Blaine says.

"I'm looking forward to the first time I dance at Carnegie Hall." Mike says to us.

"I just want a song." Tina chuckles.

"I'm looking forward to watching my dad make a difference in Congress." Kurt says.

"I'm looking forward to being friends with all of you for the rest of my life." Rachel smiles at us.

"I know this sounds silly, and the peanut butter really is amazing, Mr. Schue, but do you know what I'm looking forward to? Winning at Regionals." Rory grins at us.

We then stand up from our seat and start hugging each other. We will face regionals and we will have to be united to one another so we can win this thing and live our lifes like today is our last day.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Regionals

Everyone is busy in choir room with their mascara or anything. I'm just standing in front of the mirror and fixing my hair. I'm little bit nervous actually.

"Guys, we perform last!" Mr. Schue walks in.

"Who's the first?" Finn asks.

"The Warblers got the first slot." Mr. Schue says. "Alright show circle everyone." Mr. Schue says to us. We left our things and walk closer to each other and make a circle. "This one more step to nationals. Everyone want to win fair and square, I know that. For now just forget about the win and focus with this performance. Dedicate your performance to someone you love so you wont feel nerve and for a while stop thinking about the winner because we will win if we are the best. So in three?"

Aaaaaaaamaaaazingggg

The bell ringing. It told us that the show is begin. We then went out from the choir room and turn our way to the auditorium. Yeah this regionals will be held in our auditorium since a long time ago.

I walk enter the auditorium and got to our seat. I look around to find my dad but he is not on the stage.

"My parents come to see our performance." Finn says to me.

"Sadly my dad has a work today." I chuckle.

"He work but he can still his daughter performing." Finn holds my hand.

"And now, let's meet our judges for the 2012 Midwest Regionals! Deputy Zoning Commissioner Melba Jackson-Wright! President of the Ohio Plumbers Union Local 109, Mr. Harl Beindorf! And Central Ohio's number one late-night horror movie host, Svengoobles!"

"No!" I hide my face on Finn's sleeve because of that draculla.

"He go back to sit down." Finn rubs my hair. I leave Finn's sleeve and turn my face and Finn just right.

"And now, from Westerville, Ohio, the Dalton Academy Warblers!"

The curtain lifts up and The Warblers start singing. They singing Stand. Until in the middle of performance Finn start standing and support The Warblers.

"Come on!" Finn pulls my hand and we both stand up from our seat to cheering them until the others follow us.

The Warblers ended up their first song with full of cheering and applauding. "Thank you. Just a reminder to please make a donation to one of our charity baskets.

We're set up all around the auditorium.

Just look for the Dalton blazer. Please give what you can." Sebastian says.

They start their second song and it's Glad You Came by The Wanted. Their performance it's really cool and I really like it.

"He is look more cute when he play nice." I said to Finn.

"God, no!" Finn cover my eyes with his hand.

"Finn!" I roll my eyes and push his hand away.

Finn just chuckles and put his hand around my shoulder until The Warblers ended up their song with full of cheering and applauding.

Next one is The Golden Goblets. They're not the type or rival actually. Like right now. I dont get their note or instrumental at all.

We then walk out from the auditorium and turn our way to the backstage because we are the one who is going to perform next.

I just hold my hand to hide my nerve and walking follow the others until I see my dad is talking with some crew then turn his face at us.

"New Directions get ready!" Dad smiles at us.

They just smile back at dad and enter the backstage. I'm just standing in front of him and smile at him. "You dont want to say how beautiful I am tonight?" I giggle.

"You're still the most beautiful girl in this world, honey." Dad smiles at me. "Come on, New Directions will be performing." Dad takes my hand and walk leads me to the backstage.

"Dad?"

"Hmm?" Dad turn his face at me and raises his eyebrows at me.

"Could you please for ten minutes sitting down on that audience seat and watching my performance that I dedicate to you?" I raise my eyebrows.

"That's what I'm going to do actually." Dad smiles at me.

"Thank you so much." I smile back at him.

"Anything for my baby girl." Dad smiles at me. "Good luck! I'll see you from that audience seat next to Burt. Now, give your daddy a kiss first." Dad give me a quick kiss on my lips and walk away.

"I love you!" I shout at him.

"I love you more, sweety." Dad smiles at me and run off.

I'm just smiling and holding my hand until The Golden Goblets walk off from the stage and the curtain lift down. The crew prepare for the props we use to the stage. Actually my props.

"You can do this. You're more talented than what you think." Rachel smiles at me.

"Thank you so much." I smile back at her.

"Coming up from Lima, Ohio. William McKinley High, the New Directions!"

I take a deep breath and walk to the stage in hurry and sit down on a seat in front of the harp. The curtains lift up and ready to play it and singing.

Madison:

I've made up my mind

Don't need to think it over

If I'm wrong I am right

Don't need to look no further

This ain't lust

I know this is love but,

If I tell the world,

I'll never say enough,

'Cause it was not said to you,

And that's exactly what I need to do,

If I end up with you

New Directions come out from the backstage and singing with me. I left the harp and join them and start the choreography.

Madison with New Directions (New Directions):

Should I give up?

Or should I just keep chasing pavements?

Even if it leads nowhere? (Nowhere)

Or would it be a waste?

Madison (with New Directions):

Even (if I knew my place?)

Should I leave it there? (New Directions: Ohhh!)

Madison with New Directions:

Should I give up?

Or should I just keep chasing pavements?

Madison (New Directions):

Even if it,

Leads nowhere (Oooo...)

Madison with New Directions harmonizing:

I'd build myself up,

And fly around in circles,

Wait then as my heart drops,

And my back begins to tingle

Finally could this be it, or,

Madison with New Directions (New Directions):

Should I give up?

Or should I just keep chasing pavements?

Even if it leads nowhere? (Leads nowhere)

Or would it be a waste?

Madison (with New Directions):

Even (if I knew my place?)

Should I leave it there? (New Directions: Ohhh!)

Madison with New Directions:

Should I give up?

Or should I just keep chasing pavements?

Madison (New Directions):

Even if it,

Leads nowhere (Oooo...)

Yeah..

Should I give up?

Or should I just keep chasing pavements?

Even if it leads nowhere?

Or would it be a waste? (Would it be a waste?)

Even if I knew my place? (If I knew my place?)

Should I leave it there? (Should I leave it there?)

Should I give up, (Should I...)

Or should I just (Keep on) keep on (Chasing) chasing (Pavements) pavements?

Should I just (Keep on, chasing) chasing (Pavements) pavements?

Oh! Oh-oh-oh, Oh-oooooh!

New Directions (Madison):

Should I give up,

Or should I just keep chasing pavements, (Pavements!)

Even if it leads nowhere? (Even if I, oh!)

Madison with New Directions:

Or would it be a waste,

If I knew my place?

Madison (New Directions):

Should I leave it there? (Ohhh)

New Directions (Madison):

Should I give up, (Should I?)

Or should (Keep on) I just keep,

Madison with New Directions:

Chasing pavements?

Madison (New Directions):

Even if it

Leads nowhere (Oooo...)

We ended up the first song with full of applauding from the audience. The lights out and we run from the stage to the backstage as The Troubletones performing.

Finn suddenly hug me tight and swing me through the air then kissed me softly. I did it.

The Troubletones:

Ah, ah, ah, ah,

Ah, ah, ah, ah,

Ah, ah, ah, ah,

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Santana with The Troubletones harmonizing:

You know the bed feels warmer

Sleepin' here alone (Sleepin' here alone)

You know I dream in color

And do the things I want

Brittany:

You think you got the best of me

Think you've had the last laugh

Bet you think that everything good is gone

Think you left me broken down

Think that I'd come running back

Baby, you don't know me, 'cause you're dead wrong

Mercedes with The Troubletones:

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

Stand a little taller

Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone

What doesn't kill you makes a fighter

Footsteps even lighter

Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger

Just me, myself and I

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

Stand a little taller

Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone

Santana with Mercedes:

You heard that I was starting over with,

Someone new

They told you I was moving on,

Over you

Brittany with The Troubletones:

You didn't think that I'd come back

I'd come back swinging

Brittany:

You try to break me, but you see

Mercedes with The Troubletones (The Troubletones):

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

(Stand a little taller)

Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone

(What doesn't kill you makes a) fighter

Footsteps even lighter

Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone

(What doesn't kill you makes you) stronger, stronger

Just me, myself and I

(What doesn't kill you) makes you stronger

Stand a little taller

Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone!

Santana:

Thanks to you I've got a new thing started!

Mercedes:

Thanks to you I'm not the broken-hearted!

Santana:

Thanks to you I'm finally thinking about me!

Mercedes and Santana:

You know in the end,

The day you left was just my beginning

Santana:

In the end

Santana (and Mercedes) with The Troubletones:

(What doesn't kill you makes you) stronger (Mercedes: Stronger!)

Stand a little taller

Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone

What doesn't kill you makes a (fighter)

(Footsteps even lighter)

(Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone)

What doesn't kill you makes you (stronger, stronger!)

Just me, myself and I (Mercedes: Yeah!)

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

Stand a little (taller!)

Santana with The Troubletones (Mercedes):

Doesn't mean I'm lonely (Brittany: What doesn't kill you) when I'm alone (No, not alone)

Stronger, stronger (Yeah)

Just me, my (Brittany: What doesn't kill you) self and I (Yeah!)

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger (Stronger!)

Stand a little taller (Stronger!)

Doesn't mean I'm lonely (Brittany: What doesn't kill you) when I'm alone (Not alone)

The Troubletones:

Ah, ah, ah, ah,

Ah, ah, ah, ah,

Ah, ah, ah, ah,

Ah, ah, ah, ah

The Troubletones ended up their performance with full of cheering and applauding. The lights out again and we run back to the stage and get ready for our last song.

Rachel:

I came to win, to fight, to conquer, to thrive

I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise

Rachel with New Directions Girls (Madison):

To fly

To fly (Uh, yo, yo)

Artie:

I used to think that I could not go on

Madison:

I wish today it would rain all day

Maybe that will kinda make the pain go away

Artie:

And life was nothing but an awful song

Madison (New Directions Boys):

They got their guns out aiming at me

But I become Neo when they aiming at me (If I can see it)

Blaine (New Directions Boys):

Me, me, me against them

Me against enemies, me against friends (Then I can do it)

Somehow they both seem to become one

A sea full of sharks and they all smell blood (If I just believe it)

They start coming and I start rising

Must be surprising, I'm just surmising (There's nothing to it)

Blaine and Madison:

I win, thrive, soar

Higher, higher, higher

More fire

Rachel and Santana (Rachel):

(I came to win), to fight, to conquer, to thrive

I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise

Finn with New Directions Boys (Rachel and New Directions Girls):

I believe I can fly (Fly)

I believe I can touch the sky

I believe I can fly (Fly)

I believe I can touch the sky

Artie:

See, I was on the verge of breaking down

Madison:

Paint they own pictures, then they crop me in

But I will remain where the top begins

Artie:

Sometimes silence can seem so loud

Madison (New Directions Boys):

I am not a word, I am not a line

I am not a girl that can ever be defined (If I can see it)

Blaine (New Directions Boys):

I hear the criticism loud and clear

That is how I know that the time is near (Then I can do it)

See we become alive in a time of fear

And I ain't got no motherfickle time to spare (If I just believe it)

Cry my eyes out for days upon days

Such a heavy burden placed upon me (There's nothing to it)

Blaine and Madison:

But when you go hard your nays become yays

Yankee Stadium with Jay's and Kanye's

Rachel and Santana (Rachel):

(I came to win), to fight, to conquer, to thrive

I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise

Finn with New Directions Boys (Rachel and New Directions Girls):

I believe I can fly (Fly) (Mercedes: Fly)

I believe I can touch the sky (Mercedes: Ooh-ooh, uh, yeah)

I believe I can fly (Fly)

I believe I can touch the sky (Mercedes: Fly)

Finn (Mercedes):

I believe I can fly (Fly)

Artie (Rachel with New Directions Girls):

(Get ready for it, get ready for it) Then I can be it

(Get ready for it, I came to win) If I just believe it

(Get ready for it, get ready for it) There's nothing to it

Mercedes with New Directions Girls:

Get ready for it

Artie and New Directions Boys (Rachel and New Directions Girls):

I believe I can fly (Fly) (Mercedes: Ooh-ooh)

Finn and New Directions Boys (Rachel and New Directions Girls):

I believe I can touch the sky (Mercedes: Fly)

I think about it every night and day (Fly) (Mercedes: Oh)

Spread my wings and fly away (Mercedes: Ooh, whoa)

Artie with New Directions Boys (Rachel and New Directions Girls):

(New Directions: I can fly) I believe I can soar (Fly) (Mercedes: Get ready for it)

(New Directions: I can fly) I see me runnin' through that open door (Mercedes: Get ready for it, fly)

Finn with New Directions Boys (Rachel and New Directions Girls):

(New Directions: I can fly) I believe I can fly (Fly) (Artie: Woo) (Mercedes: Get ready for it)

Artie:

(New Directions: I can fly) I believe I can fly

Artie with New Directions Boys (and Girls):

I believe I can (fly)

We ended up our performance with full of cheering, whooping, and applauding from all the audience. This is really amazing. I came over to Finn and hug him as he hug me back until the curtains lift down.

~~~~

Now is the winner announcement. I just hide my face on Finn's sleeve and hold his hand since I dont want to see that dracula or I cant sleep tonight.

"I'll stay over at your place if you cant sleep." Finn says to me.

"By jumping my window again so my dad cant find out? No. I'm afraid if you fall." I shake my head.

"I've crossed oceans of time to bring the results of this show choir competition." That dracula judges says. "In third place, from Our Lady of Perpetual Sorrow, the Golden Goblets!"

I'm just clapping slowly as the judges give the trophy to The Golden Goblets. Now only The Warblers and us and I cant wait for this.

"And now the moment you've all been waiting for. The 2012 Midwest Regional Champion from McKinley High the New Directions!"

We suddenly jump and cheering happily together. The judges gave the biggest trophy to us. I can see from the audience seat my dad and Finn's parents are applauding happily and cheering for us. We made it! We will go to nationals.
