I was going into school the second week due to visiting my family in California again. It was good being surrounded by my relatives but a part of me feels like Burt and Carol treat me better. They didn't really care all that much about me over there. I think my mom is what made them care in the first place.

It was a rough summer. Not just because of my family but getting alcohol was a lot easier over there.

I walked into school and someone bumped into me. They fell down and i looked at them worried. "Oh my- I'm sorry." I helped the boy up and he dusted himself off. "No worries." He said in an irish accent and I smiled. "What's your name?"

"Rory."

"Y/n. Are you by any chance new here? I haven't seen you around."

"It's actually my first day." He said and i nodded. "Good luck. If you need anything, my lockers right down there." I pointed and he smiled. "Thank you so much. You're the only nice person i've meet at this school."

"There's more." I shrugged. "You just have to look deeper in. Bye, Rory." I walked away and Kurt pulled me to his locker. "Have I updated you yet?"

"No?" I looked at him confused and he nodded. "Okay, so Blaines here now. Mercedes just quit to be in the Trouble Tones. Oh! And there's a new girl named Sugar, she's the whole reason why the trouble tones exist. And we're doing West Side Story. Ready to go?"

"Duh." I laughed and we walked into the choir room. "Y/n!" Brittany ran over and hugged me. I looked over at Santana who was sitting on the floor crossing her arms.

Brittany pulled away and Quinn came over to hug me. "You're back." She smiled. "Was California fun?"

"No." I laughed and took my seat as Mr Schuester finished writing 'magic's still here'  on the board. "Okay, everyone, I have some very exciting news. Firstly: Y/n's back." Mr Shue said and everyone clapped, Mike patting me on the back.

"Secondly: Due to the collective spirit of this club, particularly the hard ad sales work of Kurt and the generosity of the entire Hummel-Hudson household, it's my pleasure to announce that we have raised the money to do West Side Story this year." He said and everyone cheered.

"Blaine, you had something you wanted to say." Mr Shue said and Blaine walked up to the front of the room. "I just wanted to acknowledge that we've all had a really rough week, what with Mercedes leaving. So i prepared a little something to show what Mr Shue just said that the magic is still here. So this is too remind us what Glee is all about, which is fun."

TIME SKIP.

I peeked down the hall to see Santana threatening Rory and I walked down there.

"Hey, Rory. Let me just see Santana for a little." I pulled her away. "What are you doing?"

"None of your business."

"Leave Rory alone. Why are you picking on him anyway?" I asked and she began whispering. "I can't let you be with him."

"No, no, no. Look, Santana. I don't want to get caught up in your drama anymore. I like Rory." I said and Santana scoffed. "You rather have that Irish freak than me?"

"It's just a crush. And calm down, at least i'm not dating a bully. I haven't forgot about Karofsky, Santana. When i was with you, you just hurt me and maybe i did the same to you, but that's exactly why we don't work. I don't want to start with all of that this year. I am done."

"Y/n, please." Santana tried to stop me but I shook my head. "I know you're leaving the New Directions so go with your Trouble Tones and leave. Me. Alone. And leave Rory alone too, he didn't do anything." I walked away.

THE NEXT DAY.

"Awful lot of empty chairs here." Mike said and Rachel agreed. "This is a disaster. This is not the way that senior year of Glee Club was supposed to be."

"Look, guys, I know this is gonna be hard. This isn't how I pictured starting off this year, either." Mr Schuester sighed and Finn plus Rory walked in. "Then I guess we've got our work cut out for us. What happens when the pope dies?"

"Heaven, you'd think." Kurt said and I laughed.

"You get a new pope. There's always new talent to be found. Always a new voice, right, Mr Shue? Well, everybody meet my friend Rory Flanagan. He's interested in joining Glee Club."

"Can this kid even sing?" Quinn asked and Rory nodded. "I sing at Mass every Sunday, I love American music. If you don't mind, i'd like to dedicate this song to my family, who I miss so much."
