Newt

I can't do this.I thought I could do this but...I just can't.I can't be near him,I can't watch him with her.I just can't bare the pain he is causing me.

"Newt"Alby announced as he entered the gym along with Mihno"NYADA has started,Tes is waiting"

"I don't think I can"

"Shank you have"Mihno replied"She is counting on you.Do you really think this is worth forgetting for Thomas?"

"It's not only Thomas"I argued"It's everything around me falling apart.Look I've made a mess of everything and even if I try to fix them nothing will change."

"You know that's not tr--"

"It bloody is!"I yelled punching a locker"Look at me!I had to leave my school and friends,my parents are most likely to get divorce,my sister commited suicide"the tears had started streaming down my face when I mentioned Beth.

"No Thomas isn't the reason I'm broken,he is only a part of it.I just can't do this anymore"

Brittany

I can't do this....

I thought I could but I can't.It's too hard for me,how could I ever believe I was ready?I'm stupid so stupid.They were right,all of them were right,I'm stupid.

I threw my papers and formulas on the floor and sat on my lab bed.Lately I was spending too much time in my lad so Santana believed I should have a proper bed down here,just in case.

I stared down at my right ankle while tears strolled down my eyes"Do something"I kept saying each time with more rager.

"DO SOMETHING!"I yelled at the top of my lungs.It had to work,it just had to.I felt a small pain at my left led and stared at it.

Say you love me back

....I did it.....

Thomas

"Are you worried?"Chuck asked taking a look to the crowd"I would be terrified"

"Well I was just fine until you mentioned it"I laughed and took a peek from the curtain"That's one big crowd"

"I'm sure you got it.Plus most the people that sang aren't even talented."

I laughed once more and hugged my little brother"You forgot to mention that I have aunt Rachel's and dad's DNA"

"See?No chance you're losing it"

"Next is Thomas Anderson"the voice from the microphone announced.It actually sent shivers through my skin.

How can I just let you walk away,
just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh
You're the only one who really knew me at all

I played the piano keys as I looked over at my family,among the crowd.They are proud for me,all of them,from dad to Tracy.

How can you just walk away from me,
when all I can do is watch you leave
'cause we've shared the laughter and the pain,
and even shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all

My eyes searched through the crowd and I saw Newt sitting in the third row.I continued looking at him as I sang.

So take a look at me now,
Well, there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me,
just the memory of your face
Oh, take a look at me now,
Well, there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me
is against the odds and that's what I've got to face

I wish I could just make you turn around,
turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you,
so many reasons why
You're the only one who really knew me at all

He avoided looking back at me and just stared at the ground.

Oh, so take a look at me now,
Well, there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me,
just the memory of your face

Now take a look at me now,
'cos there's just an empty space, oh
But to wait for you,
is all I can do and that's what I've got to face

Take a good look at me now,
'cause I'll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
It's the chance I've got to take
Take a look at me now (Oh, woah)
Take a look at me now
Oh, hmm

The crowd clapped and cheered while Tracy and Chuck held a sign that had Go Thomas on it.Newt clapped too and sniffed his nose.I really got to talk to him.

Newt

He is really good you know.One of the few people who will actually make it out of this town ,but even if he doesn't,I believe in him.

I continued watching the competition as Teresa's and mine's name was announced.She went up to the stage and looked at me still sitting with the crowd.She's probably gonna kill me for that but it's better this way.

She awkwardly stood there waiting when Alby pushed Mihno up to the stage.Tes turned to face me and sent me a glare that could kill.

She's gonna thank me in the future.She sighed and handed him the microphone as the song started.

Both:Face to face
And heart to heart
We're so close yet so far apart
I close my eyes I look away
That's just because I'm not OK

Teresa:
But I hold on

Teresa with Mihno:
I stay strong
Wondering if we still belong

Aw look at my ship setting sail"If they are gonna kiss like Finchel I'm gonna puke"aunt Santana murmured.Well thank God mum isn't here or she'll be very offended.

Mihno and Teresa:
Will we ever say the words we're feeling?
Reach down underneath and tear down all the walls
Will we ever have a happy ending?
Or will we forever only be pretending?
Will we al-al-al-always, al-al-al-always, al-al-al-always be pretending?

"Sorry"a male voice said trying to go through the crowd"Again sorry"he continued apologizing until he reached the seat next to me.

Mihno with Teresa:
How long do I fantasize?
Make believe that it's still alive
Imagine that I am good enough
And we can choose the ones we love

"Newt can we talk?"

"I'd love to but I promise Mihno and Tes I would stay"

Yeah like they would let someone who has a phone with a camera stay to watch them.

Mihno:
But I hold on

"Okay then I'm going to say it here"

"What do you want to talk about?"

"Stuff,us,our relationship,global warming"

"Great Tommy we're all bloody inspired"I chuckled.Well at least he wants to talk about us...and global warming.

Mihno with Teresa:
I stay strong
Wondering if we still belong

"Look I try to stay strong from the moment I saw you but I just can't stop wondering if we still belong"he started

Mihno and Teresa:
Will we ever say the words we're feeling?
Reach down underneath and tear down all the walls
Will we ever have a happy ending?
Or will we forever only be pretending?
Will we al-al-al-always, al-al-al-always, al-al-al-always be

"I think we should say the words we're feeling and tear down our walls.Who knows maybe we can have our happy ending instead of just pretending!"

He isn't doing what I think he is,right?

Keeping secrets safe
Every move we make
Seems like no one's letting go
And it's such a shame
'Cause if you feel the same
How am I supposed to know?

"We try to keep this secret safe but we don't want to let go and all of this is such a shame.How am I supposed to know if you still feel the same?Wi--"

Will we ever say the words we're feeling? (Teresa: Oh, oh!)
Reach down underneath and tear down all the walls (Teresa: Tear down all the walls)
Will we ever have a happy ending?
Or will we forever only be pretending? (Mihno:Only be pretending)

"Are you really quoting the song right now?"

"Maybe"he whispered as I laughed

Teresa(with Mihno):
Will we al-al-al-al (-ways)
(al-al-al-al) -ways, (Mihno: al-al) al-al-al-always be

"You're an idiot"

Teresa:
Pretending? oh! (Mihno: Pretending?)

"Maybe I am..."

Mihno (with Teresa):
Will we al-al-al-always, al-al-al-always, al-al-al-al (-ways be) (Mihno: al-al)

"...but I am your idiot"

Teresa:Pretending? (Mihno: Pretending?)
Both:Will we al-al-al-always, al-al-al-always, al-al-al-always be
Pretending?

"Yes you are"

Quinn

I'm gonna kill whoever is knocking at 9 pm,people might be sleeping you know!I opened the door and saw Rachel standing outside.

"W--"I was ready to tell her why she was here and that she should come inside but she cut me off"I need to do this outside"

I groaned and grabbed my coat and keys as I stepped outside in the rain and cold.

The rain fell to our hair peacefully,it was actually kind of romantic but I need to stay focus.

You're mad

"Why did you come?"I asked her bitterly.Rachel looked at the ground and then back at me"You left,you just disappeared.I deserved to know Quinn!"

I laughed to hide my pain and looked back at her"So you're hurt?Look at you!I would kill for you,I would die for you and you never noticed it!You have no right telling me how I was wrong!About anything"I shout while tears were streaming down my face.

"Quinn I love you"

"Do you expect me to believe that?After all those times you chose Finn over me?!You chose Jesse over me!Damn it you even chose Sam!"

"I never chose Finn over you,I stopped my wedding for you!I stayed in the hospital for days waiting for you to wake up!It's you it's always been you"she cried

"You can't expect me to do this,I have a life"I whispered as I cried"I waited for you I always had been waiting--"

"Quinn please don't do this"she begged me and took my hand"Don't make that mistake,don't choose someone that can't make you happy."

She leaned in and kissed me softly.Timing...why are you such a bitch to me?
