Chapter 18
( 1 month later )
Finns pov :
Its been a month since Rachel and I became close again . I think I might have feelings for her again but I'm not sure. She's different than she use to be though . She still won't sing though and I know she wants to she just hasn't found her voice. I walked into the room and then sat down next to Allison . "Hey Finny. " She said. "Hi. " I said. Just as Rachel walked in and smiled at me Allison grabbed me and kissed me passionatley . "What was that for?" I asked her. "To remind you of what you could lose if you make a mistake. " She said. "Hey everyone. " Mr.Shue said. "Okay so regionals is coming up and we need to pick who's going to do our solo so Allison do you think you can do it ? " He asked her . "Yes sir. " She said happily. "Actually Mr.Shue. " Rachel said. "Yes Rachel? " he asked. "I know its been awhile but do you think maybe I could try out too?" She asked him . "Of course you can . " He said. "What! Thats not fair Mr.Shue . You already gave it to me!" Allison said angrily. "Allison, Rachel whats to try out so I don't see why we can't let her. " He said . "I already got the solo !" She said. "And if you really want it than you'll try out tomorrow in the auditorium. " he told her . "But..." "Not another word . " Mr.Shue said and then we continued. "See you all tomorrow in the auditorium. " Mr.Shue said as the bell rang . I got up and Allison stormed out quickly and angrily . I waited for Rachel and said, "Hey . " "Hi. " She said. "So your going to perform . " I said. "Yeah . " She said blankly . "Okay well I'll see you later." I said and walked away .

Rachels pov :
"Oh god , oh god , oh god , what did I get myself into?" I said to Quinn as I was behind . "Rachel relax your going to do amazing . " She told me. "Nope , no I can't do it I'm going to freak out and then everyone will laugh at me . " I told her. "No one is to laugh at you. " She said. "I don't know Quinn. " I said. "Well, well , well , look who it is. Didn't think you show manhands . " Allison said. "Leave you alone Allison or else you won't be able to sing with that big fat lip . " Quinn said . "I don't have a big fat lip. " She said. "You will if you don't leave my girl alone . " Quinn said. Allison flipped her red hair over her shoulder and said, "What ever . Just remember don't choke. " She said rudely and then went on stage and started to sing. I turned to Quinn panicked and said, "I can't do this. " I told her. "Yes you can." Finn said . He walked up to me and handed me a daisy . "I believe in you Rach, we all do so raise your voice and kick some ass ! " He said. I smiled and said, "You really think I can do this?" I asked. "Of course . " He said.
Finns pov :
"You got this Rachel. " I said as it was almost time for her to go on . "What if I freak out . " She said. "You won't if you get nervous just look at me I'll be cheering you on . " I told her. "Okay , I got this. " She said and went on stage as the music started she looked at me I smiled and gave her a thumbs up and then she smiled and started :
( Rachel )
Don't know much about your life.
Don't know much about your world, but
Don't want to be alone tonight,
On this planet they call earth.
You don't know about my past, and
I don't have a future figured out.
And maybe this is going too fast.
And maybe it's not meant to last,
But what do you say to taking chances,
What do you say to jumping off the edge?
Never knowing if there's solid ground below
Or hand to hold, or hell to pay,
What do you say,
What do you say?
I just want to start again,
And maybe you could show me how to try,
And maybe you could take me in,
Somewhere underneath your skin?
What do you say to taking chances,
What do you say to jumping off the edge?
Never knowing if there's solid ground below
Or hand to hold, or hell to pay,
What do you say,
What do you say?
And I had my heart beating down,
But I always come back for more, yeah.
There's nothing like love to pull you up,
When you're laying down on the floor there.
So talk to me, talk to me,
Like lovers do.
Yeah walk with me, walk with me,
Like lovers do,
Like lovers do.
What do you say to taking chances,
What do you say to jumping off the edge?
Never knowing if there's solid ground below
Or hand to hold, or hell to pay,
What do you say,
What do you say?
Don't know much about your life
And I don't know much about your world
(End song)
Everyone clapped and cheered loudly for her and Rachel smiled at me and ran over to me and Quinn and I hugged her tightly, "I'm so proud of you Rachel you did it!" I said excitedly. "I did , I did I really did . " She said excited and jumped into my arms . For a moment our eyes connected and just as I thought we were going to kiss Quinn said , "Rachel I'm so proud of you !" Rachel and Quinn squealed and then Mr.Shue said , "Rachel, Allison , come out to the stage . " He said. "Okay so Ms.Pilsbury and I talked and we decided that.... Rachel will be our soloist! " Everyone clapped , " What !" Allison said outraged and stormed off.
