CHAPTER 3Edit

"William, good Lord you're here!", Principal Figgins said as Will sat on chair, next to a boy who was looking outside the window behind Figgins.

"Why did you call me?", Will asked curiously.

Figgins pointed at the the boy sitting beside Will. "This boy was caught in a fight with several football players and they were badly hurt"

Will gasped. "What?"

"Are you deaf? He said I punched those cowards" , the boy said , rolling his eyes.

"William, I want you to take this kid to your KC And Sunshine Band Club and do some intervention or whatever you do with those kids!", Figgins yelled.

Colton was walking towards the choir room when Clove blocked his way. Clove placed her palm on Colton's chest and closed her eyes as if she's feeling his heartbeat.

"Heyyyy? Are you dying or something?", Colton asked.

Clove smirked. "You're hot, wanna make out sometimes?".

Colton calmly pushed Clove's hand to her sides and said ,"Not interested, I have a girlfriend"

Clove rolled her eyes. "Oh boo-hoo, Dianna is your girlfriend ,right?"

"Yeah"

"I know her family secrets and know what? I'm a cheerleader , meaning I have the power in this school and people will BELIEVE anything I say. Go out with me or her secrets will go out. Make a choice, baby", Clove exclaimed.

Colton narrowed his eyes , looking at Clove ."Why are you doing this?"

"You're hot , I'm hot. It's a mutual thing. Toodles!". Clove waved her goodbye and walked away, leaving Colton with a confused face.

Colton continued his way to the choir room and saw Mr. Schuester with the boy who beat up the football team.

"Guys, this is Isaac Nixon and he'll be joining our club" , William said ,pointing at the boy.

"He's my hero", Leo muttered.

"He's so strong , I heard he went all Lima Heights with the football team", Princeton whispered.

"Oh please, Santana Lopez is the only who can go all Lima Heights with bitches", Riley said , looking at Leo and Princeton who were behind her.

"Hey, I'm Isaac and yeah, I'll be here so yeah." , Isaac introduced.

Lizzie showed her happiness and joy for having a new member and enthusiastically asked Isaac if he can sing.

Isaac shrugged. "Yeah , but I'm not really that good"

"That's okay! Can you sing us something?", Florence said, excitedly.

Isaac felt that he belonged to the group. Everyone was welcoming and warm and he doesn't want them to be disappointed in him.

"SING!SING!SING!", everyone cheered.

Isaac smiled like he never before. "Okay,Okay!"

"One song glory

One song,before I go

Glory

One song to leave behind

Find one song

One last refrain

Glory

From the pretty boy front man

Who wasted opportunity

One song

He had the world at his feet

Glory

In the eyes of a young girl

A young girl

Find glory

Beyond the cheap colored lights

One song,before the sun sets

Glory - On another empty life

Time Flies - Time Dies

Glory - One blaze of glory

One blaze of glory - glory...

Find glory

In a song that rings true

Truth like a blazing fire

An eternal flame

Find one song

A song about love

Glory

From the soul of a young man

A young man

Find,the one song

Before the virus takes hold

Glory - Like a sunset

One song

To redeem this empty life

Time flies

And then - No need to endure anymore

Time Dies...

Everyone was blown away by Isaac's performance. He received a standing ovation and everyone continued to cheer until he sat down beside Florence and Reuben.

Will clapped. "Alright! That was amazing! But now , lets talk about our weekly assignment! This week's assignment is … VULNERABILITY!"

"What does that means?", David asked.

"Your weaknesses"

David was still dumbfounded."Sooooooo?"

"I want you guys to sing about your inner emotions that you have never expressed. It can be about a past experience, heartbreak, problems or whatever that made you a better person in the end", Will explained. "Dismissed!"

Dianna and Colton were walking in the hallway, holding hands when Clove appeared out of nowhere and ran towards Colton, giving him a hug and a kiss in the nose.

"Hey baby", Clove seductively greeted.

"What the hell?", Colton exclaimed.

Clove faked a confused face. "You don't miss me?"

Dianna looked at Colton with a disappointed face. She lets go of Colton hand and walked away with tears falling from her eyes.

"Dianna, wait!" Colton yelled and ran towards Dianna but before he could reach her, Clove pulled him back.

"It's better that way", Clove said calmly as if she did nothing wrong.

Colton pushed Clove away. "Shut up"

Dianna was in the auditorium playing the piano while the other members of New Directions are in the audience's seats.

"So little to say but so much time,

despite my empty mouth the words are in my mind.

Please wear the face, the one where you smile,

because you lighten up my heart when I start to cry.

Forgive me first love, but I'm tired.

I need to get away to feel again.

Try to understand why, don't get so close to change my mind.

Please wipe that look out of your eyes, it's bribing me to doubt myself;

simply, it's tiring

"This love has dried up and stayed behind,

and if I stay I'll be alive,

then choke on words I'd always hide.

Excuse me first love, but we're through.

I need to taste the kiss from someone knew.

Forgive me first love, but I'm too tired.

I'm bored to say the least and I, I lack desire.

Forgive me first love, forgive me first love, forgive me first love, forgive me first love, forgive me, forgive me first love, forgive me first love"

New Directions start to gather up in the center of the stage with Dianna except for Colton who was in the corner, just watching. Lizzie hugged Dianna, whose tears are starting to fall again.

"Guys, gather up here and make a circle", Will commanded.

New Directions formed a circle. "Everybody hold each other's hand and close your eyes and now starting from Florence and I want you to tell us what makes you vulnerable"

"I'm confused", Florence said.

"About what?", Reuben asked.

"With life."

Will opened his eyes and saw Florence trying to say something but words won't come out his mouth.

"I'm confused about life. What's the point of living if we are going to die in the end? That question keeps me up at night like my thoughts hits me in the head saying 'why do that , why do this if in the end you're are going to die and no one will ever remember you'" .

Reuben started sobbing. " I hate my life. I hate my dad, I hate my family. My dad is an alcoholic freak and I can't do anything about it. And my mom", Reuben started crying. "My mom, she's trying so hard to glue our family back but no , it doesn't work. I'm living with my brother in a small apartment trying to escape my abusive father and it's so hard to live when you know everything around you is falling apart"

"I understand you, Reuben.", Riley said, comforting Reuben by massaging his back with her arm.

"I'm gay. And that alone makes me vulnerable is this freaking death trap school!", Leo exclaimed.

"I haven't told Emma that Skyler is my son", Will confessed.

Skyler opened his eyes and stared at Will, "Dad…"

"I know , I know that I should tell her but I'm afraid that she won't accept me anymore"

"Mr. Schue, you are the strongest person we know and you can do that. will accept no matter what because you love each other. And no one can ever defeat the power of LOVE!", David exclaimed.

Everyone laughed. "You know guys, we should really do something fun sometimes, like go to the arcade, or go bowling, we are young and we need to live a little!", David added.

Riley was in her Music and Arts therapy when her music counsellor asked her to sing about her feeling right now. She stood in the center, surrounded by the other teens and her counsellor.

"We need some light.

First of all, we need some light.

You can't sit here in the dark.

And all alone, it's a sorry sight.

It's just you and me.

We'll live, you'll see"

Will was in bed with Emma, still deciding if he should tell Emma that Skyler is his son.

"Night after night,

We'd sit and wait for the morning light.

But we've waited far too long,

For all that's wrong to be made right."

Reuben was in his small bedroom , looking outside his window, trying to figure what life would be for him tomorrow.

"Day after day,

Wishing all our cares away.

Trying to fight the things we feel,

But some hurts never heal.

Some ghost are never gone,

But we go on,

We still go on.

And you find some way to survive

And you find out you don't have to be happy at all,

To be happier alive."

In the auditorium, the next day

"(Riley) Day after day,

Give me clouds, and rain and gray.

Give me pain, if that's what's real.

(Skyler and Lizzie) It's the price we pay to feel

(Florence and Reuben) The price of love is loss,

(Reuben) But still we pay.

(Colton) We love anyway

(Skyler) And when the night has finally gone.

And when we see the new day dawn.

We'll wonder how we wandered for so long, so blind.

The wasted world we thought we knew,

The light will make it look brand new.

So

(New Directions ) Let it

Let it

Let it

Let it

Let it

Shine, shine, shine.

Day after day (Dianna : day after day),

We'll find the will to find our way.

Knowing that the darkest skies will someday see the sun.

(Reuben) When our long night is done,

(Reuben and Riley) There will be light.

(Dianna :There will be will be light.)

(Riley,Lizzie,Reuben and Skyler) There will be light.

When we open up our light.

Sons and daughters, husbands, wives.

Can fight that fight.

There will be light.

There will be light.

There will be light.

There will be light.

Dianna was walking in the hallway with Lizzie when Colton blocked their way. Colton started playing his guitar ,not caring if jocks who hates Glee Club are around.

"Dianna, I'm not in a relationship with Clove! I would never cheat on you, please believe me"

"Colton, it's over"

Colton started humming . "This is for you"

"It hasn't been that long

Since we drank to the sunset, until it was gone

And down with it went our pain and fear

As we slowly broke contact

More and more with every beer

And we passed out in each other's arms

Both admitting we'd never felt better

Never felt so warm

But awoke in each other's eyes

Without wearing a stitch of clothing

We were both deeply in disguise

And maybe I just set aside

The fact that you were broken hearted

In my own special selfish way

And if I hadn't set aside

The fact that you were broken hearted

Hell knows where your heart would be today

Maybe with me"

"Sorry", Colton kneeled and took Dianna's arm. Colton saw Clove in the corner of his eye, he stood up and looked at Clove. Clove raised an eyebrow. "Dianna, I love you but I gotta do this. I'm breaking up with you"

Clove smiled. "I know you can do it ,baby" ,she said as she walked towards Colton,Dianna and Lizzie.

"Why are you doing this?" , Lizzie asked Clove furiously.

"None of your business Liz, but I'm here's the deal, Colton is mine now and you, yes you Dianna and Lizzie shouldn't care so bye bye!" , Clove explained ,glaring at Lizzie and Dianna.

Dianna started to break down and fell on her knees ,crying. Clove and Colton walked away, Colton wants to come back but he's willing to do anything that will keep Dianna's secrets safe even if it means being away from her.

Will entered the Teacher's Lounge , now ready to tell Emma to the truth. As he entered , Shannon,Roz and Sue welcomed him with a cake as Emma stood behind them with a very happy face. "What's happening?", he asked.

"Should I tell him? I really want to tell him , cookie dough!", Shannon asked Emma.

"Shannon, you've done enough", Emma replied, giving her a warm smile. "William Schuester , you …. Are going to be a father!" , Emma exclaimed , jumping up and down in joy.

Will was stunned. He doesn't know what to say. Tears of joy start falling from his face but he has a confession to make and he knows that it will disappoint Emma, but Emma looks so happy right now and he can't take that away from her. Confused. Will is confused about everything.

Dianna's vision was becoming blurry and she started running but she didn't know why. It's like she's going crazy and no one is there to hold and comfort her.

"All around me are familiar faces

Worn out places, worn out faces

Bright and early for their daily races

Going nowhere, going nowhere

Their tears are filling up their glasses

No expression, no expression

Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow

No tomorrow, no tomorrow"

Reuben was in their dirty kitchen with his brother looking happy but he was the exact opposite. His brother brought out a small piece, only good for one and greeted him a happy birthday.

"Children waiting for the day they feel good

Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday

Made to feel the way that every child should

Sit and listen, sit and listen"

Isaac was in their living room, doing homework when his parents started fighting in the kitchen. He put his hands over his ears and closed his eyes.

"Went to school and I was very nervous

No one knew me, no one knew me

Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson

Look right through me, look right through me"

Riley was sitting , listening to a new kid in her Music Therapy.

"And I find it kinda funny

I find it kinda sad

The dreams in which I'm dying

Are the best I've ever had

I find it hard to tell you

I find it hard to take

When people run in circles

It's a very, very mad world ... world

Enlarge your world

Mad world"

"Hi, I'm Cayly… nice to meet you all", the girl introduced and gave everybody an awkward smile after she finished singing.

"Hey Cayly, you may sit down now!" , the therapist said enthusiastically. "Today, we are going to talk about our dreams. I know that all of you are young but everybody should be ready for the future like what steps should you be taking and how can you achieve your dreams. Let's start with you , Riley!"

"Dream. I want to be an actress". Riley laughed fakingly, not knowing how everybody would react to what she said.

"I think you'll be a good actress!", Cayly pointed out.

"Thanks"

"How about you, Cayly? Where do you see yourself in the future?", the therapist asked.

Cayly closed her eyes. "I see myself …. In Broadway, performing as Glinda in Wicked then, I see my family in the audience. They're so proud of me and my mom, it's the first time I have seen her happy for a long time"

Cayly is walking in a crowded hallway ,everybody is bumping her and a cheerleader threw a crumpled paper at her. She opened the paper and it says 'dream'

"Grew up in a small town

And when the rain would fall down

I'd just stare out my window

Dreaming of what could be

And if I'd end up happy

I would pray"

Cayly is in an auditorium full of people. Everybody's cheering for her .

"I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly.

I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky.

Make a wish, take a chance,

Make a change, and break away.

Out of the darkness and into the sun.

But I won't forget all the ones that I love.

I'll take a risk, take a chance,

Make a change, and break away"

She's back at the hallway but this time, everybody is giving her way. She reached the end of the hallway , she opened the door and sees hundreds of people trying to take a picture of her.

"Buildings with a hundred floors

Swinging with revolving doors

Maybe I don't know where they'll take me but

Gotta keep movin on movin on

Fly away

Break away"

She is now in a small bedroom ,singing in front of her mirror. She goes to the kitchen and sees her family eating too little food to fit for everybody. She then sees a letter on the floor . She opened it and the title says 'NYADA Acceptance Letter'

"I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly.

Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye

Take a risk, take a chance,

Make a change, and break away.

Out of the darkness and into the sun.

But I won't forget the place I come from

I gotta take a risk, take a chance,

Make a change, and break away

Breakaway

Break away"
