My mom called me downstairs. I'm not sure about how I'm supposed to feel about that. Last time, she told that dad left. And I was only 14 years old!

"Honey, we need to talk"

"Ok? What's up?"

"I got a job offer...in Seattle"

"Wait, no! I can't move again. We've only lived here for a few weeks."

"Which is why I'm leaving. You're going to live with Your Uncle Burt!"

"Seriously?! That's great but you'll be so far away"

"You'll be fine without me. I promise. I'll be at your graduation and I'll visit a few times. Make sure to send me a video of you at Regionals"

"I will" I smiled sadly with tears in my eyes and gave her a big hug. "When are you leaving?"

"Saturday"

"I'm gonna miss you a lot" I said while I wiped my tears that were falling.

"Me too, hun.

It's been a week since my mom left and if I said that I was ok, that would be a lie. But I am doing a lot better. I mean, I get to spend everyday seeing Kurt now which is awesome.

Carole and Finn are going to move in with us and Kurt is trying so hard to make feel happy but really, he's just making him uncomfortable. He's pretty unhappy with this news but hey, at least I get a new cousin.

We were all in the choir room when we all noticed that Tina was wearing a hoodie. She never wears hoodies. She looks dead inside.

"It's so weird" Artie said.

"This so isn't you" Finn said.

"You look dead inside"

"I feel like an Asian beach davidian" she said.

"Tina, are there any other looks you can try?" Mr. Schue asked.

"Biker chick?" Santana suggested. Tina put her thumb down.

"Cowgirl?" Finn said.

"Hood rat?" Mercedes said.

"Computer programmer?" Quinn said.

"Cross-country skier?" Brittany said.

"Catholic schoolgirl?" Puck said.

"Happy meal, no onions. Or a chicken" Brittany said

"Look I appreciate it, guys, but it just isn't me. I know who I am, and I'm not allowed to show it. It's like communism" Tina said.

"Guys, we have a serious problem" Rachel said as she walked in looking worried. "You know how I've been doing some deep background on Vocal Adrenaline?"

"Isn't that against the rules?" Artie asked.

"No, not at all. Or probably. Whatever! Anyway, what I figured out; I rooted through the dumpsters behind the Carmel auditorium and I found 18 boxes of Christmas lights" she said.

"Oh no" Tina said

"Which led me to Joelle Fabrics. I asked them about red Chantilly lace. They were sold out"

"Oh, sweet Jesus" Mercedes said

"We're done for"

"Oh, my" Kurt said

"Wait, what?" Mr. Schue said.

"They're doing Gaga" Kurt said.

"That's it. It's over" Mercedes added.
