Chapter 18: Ryan's Audition

Chapter 18:

*The Next Morning*

Ryan: (standing in front of glee club) I know some of you guys in the room don't appreciate me being here, so I'm going to sing you a song to show how I'm really sorry for hurting Rose.

Rose just smiled at him giving him a thumbs up he motion for the piano guy to start playing and he started to sing.

Ryan:
I can hold my breath
I can bite my tongue
I can stay awake for days
If that's what you want
Be your number one

I can fake a smile
I can force a laugh
I can dance and play the part
If that's what you ask
Give you all I am

I can do it
I can do it
I can do it

But I'm only human
And I bleed when I fall down
I'm only human
And I crash and I break down
Your words in my head, knives in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart
'Cause I'm only human

I can turn it on
Be a good machine
I can hold the weight of worlds
If that's what you need
Be your everything

Ryan smiles at Rose and she smiles back and Sam notices the two of them making eye contact and cross his arm glaring at Ryan.

I can do it
I can do it
I'll get through it

But I'm only human
And I bleed when I fall down
I'm only human
And I crash and I break down
Your words in my head, knives in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart
'Cause I'm only human

I'm only human
I'm only human
Just a little human

I can take so much
'Til I've had enough

'Cause I'm only human
And I bleed when I fall down
I'm only human
And I crash and I break down
Your words in my head, knives in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart
'Cause I'm only human

All the girls were in tears and the guys just looked bored. except Kurt who just looked amused Mr. Schue got up and said.

Mr. Schue: wow Ryan thanks for sharing that beautiful song and voice with us
Ryan: thank you Mr. Schue, and I couldn't have done it without Rose (smiles at her)
Rose: (smiles back)

Sam just stared at the two of them after Ryan sat down in front of him next to Rose.

Mr. Schue: alright we have one more song for you guys today who wants to go next

Rose: I would Mr. Schue
Mr. Schue: of course Rose take it away

Mr. Schue sat down with the rest of the class and Rose came to front of the class and said.

Rose: this song is called Forgiveness and Love (gives a wink to Ryan)

Half the people in glee club saw that wink then look to Ryan and back at Rose once she started singing.

Rose:
Imagining you're far away
Just searching for the words to say
I feel it when you fall apart
Our lives are our greatest art

(Rose stares into Ryan as she sing this)
