The New Girl

Chapter 20

"I don't think we'll be able to come with y'all tomorrow."

"It's okay! We can all go another day!" I smiled. A few minutes later, Melody go up and sang Try. Then Puck and Quinn sang Picture by Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow.

Livin' my life in a slow hell
Different girl every night at the hotel
I ain't seen the sun shine in 3 damn days
Been fuelin' up on cocaine and whisky
Wish I had a good girl to miss me
Lord I wonder if I'll ever change my ways
I put your picture away
Sat down and cried today
I can't look at you while I'm lyin' next to her
I put your picture away, sat down and cried today
I can't look at you, while I'm lyin next to her

I called you last night in the hotel
Everyone knows but they wont tell
But their half hearted smiles tell me
Somethin' just ain't right
I been waitin' on you for a long time
Fuelin' up on heartaches and cheap wine
I ain't heard from you in 3 damn nights
I put your picture away
I wonder where you been
I can't look at you while I'm lyin' next to him
I put your picture away
I wonder where you been
I can't look at you while I'm lyin' next to him
I saw ya yesterday with an old friend

It was the same ole same "how have you been"

Since you been gone my worlds been dark & grey

You reminded me of brighter days

I hoped you were comin' home to stay
I was headed to church

I was off to drink you away

I thought about you for a long time
Can't seem to get you off my mind
I can't understand why we're living life this way
I found your picture today
I swear I'll change my ways
I just called to say I want you to come back home
I found your picture today
I swear I'll change my ways
I just called to say I want you to come back home
I just called to say, I love you come back home  

"That was great guys!" Mr. Schue exclaimed. Then, my phone started ringing loudly.

"I'm sorry y'all. This is mama." I answered the phone and stood up.

"Hello?"

"Hey, what class are you in?"

"Um, I'm in Glee club, why?"

"Can you come home? I know I said that you need to go to school but you need to come home."

"I guess. Why? Sam hasn't gotten worse has he?"

"Not really. His fever went back up to 102.6 and he's been throwing up a lot but other than that, he's okay. He's been asking you where you are and he wants you to come home."

"Okay, I'll tell Mr. Schue and I'll be there in a few minutes."

"Okay, be careful."

"I will."

"Bye,"

"Bye,"

"Mr. Schue, I have to leave." I said,grabbing my bag.

"What, why?"

"Sam's fever went back up and he wants me to come back home."

"Oh, okay. Tell him we hope he feels better." I nodded.

"Are you coming with me now, Laura or do you want me to come pick you up later?" I asked.

"Can ya pick me up later?"

"Yeah, I'll see y'all Monday."

TIME SKIP

When I got home, Sam was laying on the couch watching T.V. I put my book bag down by the door and went over to the couch. There was a trash can beside him.

"Hey, you okay?" I asked, sitting down beside him. He sat up so I scooted over closer to him. He laid back down and put his head in my lap. He looked up at me.
