NEW PATHS, NEW DIRECTIONS by Camsay[]

CHAPTER 1 - Part II[]

Will went back to the auditorium to continue with the auditions and he found a young masn sitting on the middle of the stage, he seemed to be sleeping there, maybe because a long waiting period in there. He was around sixteen or seventeen, and Will recognised him from his Spanish class, where he was really fluent because his parents were from South America.

Will thought: -Was it from...Argentina?
Suddenly the boy woke up and blushed when he saw Will was staring at him.
-Excuse me, I didn't mean to--I was just a little drowsy and I sat to wait...
-It's alright - said Will - What's your name?
-My name is Charles, sir, but you must call me Chuck - said gently
-Well, you're here to audition. What are you singing?
-Well - he answered - You'll see!

Drums started to sound ti the rhythm of the guitar and Chuck started singing:

You used to get it in your fishnets
Now you only get it in your night dress
Discarded all the naughty nights for niceness
Landed in a very common crisis
Everything´s in order in a black hole
Nothing seems as pretty as the past though
That Bloody Mary´s lacking a Tabasco
Remember when he used to be a rascal?

Oh that boy´s a slag
The best you ever had
The best you ever had
Is just a memory and those dreams
Not as daft as they seem
Not as daft as they seem
My love when you dream them up...

Will began wondering about the feelings of this boy and about his choice of the song

Flicking through a little book of sex tips
Remember when the boys were all electric?
Now when she tells she´s gonna get it
I´m guessing that she´d rather just forget it
Clinging to not getting sentimental
Said she wasn´t going but she went still
Likes her gentlemen to not be gentle
Was it a megadobber or a betting pencil?

Falling about
You took a left off Last Laugh Lane
You just sounded it out
You´re not coming back again.

Finally Chuck finished his singing and Will couldn't help to clap. That song had been awesome, the tone, his voice, everything in that day was like a déjà-vu of some years ago, when he had the then-best Glee Club of the country, and he knew that the history was about to come back.

Will went with Chuck and welcomed him to New Directions. At the same time another boy was entering to the Glee Club

-Hi buddy, I didn't know you were auditioning for the Glee Club.- Chuck said.
-I know I didn't sign but I wanted to. (whispering) It may be a good way to meet a girl once for all.
-Beware of what you wish- said Chuck and left.
-What happened to him? - said Will.
-Long story -said CJ - Well, Mr Schue, I'd like to audition, but I didn't sign in.
-Don't worry, kiddo. Whenever you want, err, how can I call you?
-My name is Charlie John, better known as CJ - smiling- and I'm gonna be singing The Reason from Hoobastank.

I'm not a perfect person
There's many thing I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you

I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That's why I need you to hear

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you

And the reason...is...you...

-Excellent, impressive, buddy! Of course you made the cut! Congrats! - said Will
-Thanks! I'm so glad... I mean, I've always sung, I'm nice, popular and so, and I'd love to be famous and so, but I wonder myself how I could be able to do so if I can't even get a girl. It's so frustating!
-Calm down - Will said - Everything will come eventually.
-Yes, maybe I should wait for it and hoping not to finish like Ch.. Excuse me! I shouldn't have said that! Goodbye!

Will stayed stunned thinking about what this kid had said. But then realised that from the list, there was one missing boy: Thomas Franklin.
He began to think what could have happened to the boy, but then, he left from the auditorium in order to go home with Shelby, whom he hadn't spent a normal day for weeks.
When he was about to reach his car, a boy called him. He was running behind him, so he stopped.

-Hi, Mr Schue- I'm Thomas, Thomas Franklin. I'm so so sorry to be late but i couldn't help it, there was a lot of people around there, and well, I'm very shy. I thought i was better outside. But then I realised it would be better for me to join some clubs to improve my social skills. - He continued _ So, I want to audition for Glee Club.

Will started thinking that he'd lose another night with Miss Corcoran, but then he dialed her number and called her.
-Hi honey! - Shelby said - Are you comin home soon?
-I'll be delayed a bit more. But I have great news. A lot of kids have auditioned today, and well, I must keep with the auditions.
-Well, sweetheart, that's awesome, you know. I know you can. And well, I'll have a surprise when you arrive home. I love you!
-I love you too.

Then Mr Schue continued his way to school again, and they went to the Music Room, then Will asked him to audition.

-We-e-ell, My name is Tom and I-i-'m gonna be singing Part Of Your World from The Little Mermaid.

Maybe He's Right
Maybe There Is Something The Matter with me With Me
I Just Don't See How A World That Makes Such Wonderful Things
Could Be Bad

Look at this stuff
Isn't it neat?
Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?
Wouldn't you think I'm the girl
The girl who has everything?

But who cares?
No big deal
I want more

What would I give
If I could live
Out of these waters?
What would I pay
To spend a day
Warm on the sand?
Bet'cha on land
They understand
Bet they don't reprimand their daughters
Bright young women
Sick of swimming
Ready to..........stand.

-Well, well buddy, I can't see your shyness right now. That was beautiful and you know! So, I wait you next Monday with the rest of your fellow glee members -Will said-
They were pretty good like you too, so, I'm looking forward to you being really awesome as time pass. Just, congratulations.

Tom left the Music Room and Will stayed in there a little more time. Then he, smiled and with tears streaming down his face he yelled:
-It's a fresh start right now. - And then lower - My kids are back.

END OF PART 2.

CHAPTER EPILOGUE:[]

-Hi, love - said Will - What was your surprise?
Then somebody touched his shoulder. Will turned around to see someone he'd never been so happy to see.
Rachel Berry in all her glory, student of NYADA and the new role of Elphaba in Wicked, just a few centimetres with him, hugging him.
-Hi Mr Schuester! I missed you so much.
-You can bet I did all the same, Rachel!
They were speaking for hours and hours, also with Shelby, whom had created a close bond with her daughter after all. Then she got up from the table and said:

-Well, that's not the only surprise!
-What else you have hidden in the kitchen - joked Will.
-I'm PREGNANT! - she said as her partner and daughter's faces become the most surprised expressions she had ever seen.
