Chapter 54:Nationals part 1

-Rachel pov-
Yesterday with Sugars grandma was fun! She knows so much about Broadway and musicals. I would be lying if I said a spark did not light again. I really need to figure this out soon.

For now my focus is on the competition. I want to make sure we win this for the club. I can just imagine all of the smiles they would have. I can not wait to see them.

"There's the Gabriella to my Troy!" I turn and smile at Blaine as he walks over "You ready for this?"

"Not really" I look around and sigh "I am torn between Broadway and normal life"

"What do you honestly want?" I shrug and look at him "I know you know"

"I want that dream life with sugar" He gives a small smile "You think that is it don't you?"

He shrugs with a smirk "I can not decide" He starts walking away slowly "You are up Rach! Go break a leg!"

I shake my head with a smile. I head toward the green room to see it empty. I guess they are at backstage! I quickly turn and make my way to the backstage area.

I tense when I am quickly pulled into a set of arms. I relax when I see who it is. Brittany is still very hugging and I love that. She never asks but that is cause you can never be mad.

"Hey Britt" She lets me go and smiles "Are we singing yet?"

"Just about" I nod and we walk toward the group "You need to do what you want alright?"

"How did..alright" I smile and shake my head "You know too much for your own good sometimes"

"Call it a mother's intuition" We both chuckle and she pulls me into her "You never have to call us mom ok?"

I nod and lay my head down her shoulder "Ok" I look up with a smile "How about Ma?"

"That sounds wonderful" She smiles wide and we finally reach the group "Looks like our solo is up!"

-Sugar singing-
Becky was a beauty from south Alabama
Her daddy had a heart like a nine-pound hammer
Think he even did a little time in the slammer
What was I thinkin'?

She snuck out one night and met me by the front gate
Her daddy came out wavin' that twelve gauge
We tore out the drive he peppered my tailgate
What was I thinkin'?

Oh, I knew there'd be hell to pay
But that crossed my mind a little too late...
'cause I was...

[chorus:]
Thinkin' 'bout a little white tank top sittin' right
There in the middle by me
I was thinkin' 'bout a long kiss man just gotta get
Goin' where a night might lead
I know what I was feelin'
But what was I thinkin'... what was I thinkin'

By the county line the cops were nippin' on our heels
Pulled off the road and kicked it in four-wheel
Shut off the lights and tore through the corn field
What was I thinkin'?

Out the other side she was hollerin' faster
Took a dirt road and had the radio blastin'
Hit the honky tonk for a little close dancin'
What was I thinkin'?

Oh, I knew there'd be hell to pay
But that crossed my mind a little too late...
'cause I was...

Thinkin' 'bout a little white tank top sittin' right
There in the middle by me
I was thinkin' 'bout a long kiss man just gotta get
Goin' where a night might lead
I know what I was feelin'
But what was I thinkin'... what was I thinkin'
