The Road Ahead Of Us

Chapter 11

Brenda's POV

Thursday, March 28th, 2019

The Glee club meeting didn't start until 4 O'clock, whereas Mercedes and Chord didn't get back to the house until 3:45, which is now.

"I told y'all to be here 10 minutes ago."

"Sorry, there was traffic." Mercedes said.

"Uh huh, sure." I said, making my way to their car, getting in the back.

"You could have got in the front." Mercedes said.

"I know, but one, it's easier for me to get in, and two, I'd rather be back here anyway." They laughed.

"So, what was Mr. Schue's assignment for the week?"

"You." Chord said, chewing on a piece of gum.

"Give me a piece, and what do you mean 'me'?"

"You and Sam." Mercedes said as Chord tossed me a piece of gum.

"Yeah, everyone gets to sing your songs."

"So, I get to sing one of Sam's songs?"

"Well, yeah. And your own if you want." I grinned evily and they looked at each other. 15 minutes later, we got to the school. Chord gave me a piggy back ride to the choir room while Mercedes carried my crutches. Everyone greeted me and Mr. Schue said,

"Good to have you back. Wheres Sam?"

"Him and Stacy are having a brother and sister day. They went to the mall and I think they're going to eat now." I answered."She even texted me and asked'if I get Sam to say yes, will you help put makeup on him? I'm steady begging him.' I don't know why she wants to put makeup on him, but I'm gonna do it if he says we can."

"That will be hilarious." Santana said.

"Yeah, considering how long it took him to agree to putting foundation on for the concerts." Mercedes said. Everyone laughed.

"Okay, whose singing first?" Sabrina stood up, smiling.

"I'm going to sing 'When I Look At You', while playing the piano." She said, sitting down. I smiled and crossed my legs.

Everybody needs inspiration
Everybody needs a song
A beautiful melody
When the nights are long

'cause there is no guarantee
That this life is easy

Yeah when my world is falling apart
When there's no light
To break up the dark
That's when I, I
I look at you

When the waves are flooding the shore
And I can't find my way home any more
That's when I, I
I look at you

When I look at you
I see forgiveness
I see the truth
You love me for who I am
Like the stars hold the moon
Right there where they belong
And I know I'm not alone

Yeah when my world is falling apart
When there's no light
To break up the dark
That's when I, I
I look at you

When the waves are flooding the shore
And I can't find my way home any more
That's when I, I
I look at you

You appear just like a dream to me
Just like kaleidoscope colors that cover me
All I need
Every breath that I breathe
Don't you know you're beautiful
Yeah, yeah, yeah

When the waves are flooding the shore
And I can't find my way home any more
That's when I, I
I look at you

I look at you
Yeah,
Whoa-oh,
You appear just like a dream to me

Everyone clapped.

"That was great. You're an amazing singer." I said. She blushed and thanked me.

"Whose next?" While her boyfriend sang one of Sam's songs, 'Beautiful Soul', I texted Angela.

Hey, what are you doing for the next few days?~ Brenda

Absolutely nothing, why? I heard about you breaking your ankle, how are you?~Angela

Awesome, and I'm fine. Puckermans dumb ass slapped my ankle yesterday because I had it on the coffee table in the living room, and it hurt like hell. Anyway, if I pay your way, would you come down to Ohio for a few days?~ Brenda

He's an idiot, and sure! But you don't have to pay my way!~ Angela

Deal with it! I'm going to whether you likes it or not!~Brenda

Lol, why do you want me to come down anyway?~Angela

Well, I'm thinking of doing something different with my hair, and your the only person I trust to do it, plus, Sam's little sister Stacy wants some tips from you on how to do makeup.~Brenda

Awe! And of course! When do you want me to come?~Angela

When is the best time to come?~ Brenda

Tomorrow?~Angela

Awesome, see you then!~ Brenda

Sam's POV

We got to Western Sizzlin and ordered our food, whereas I got a country fried steak with fries, macaroni and cheese, and a salad with Pepsi. Trust me, I eat a lot. Stacy got a Big Texas 8 oz. Burger, shockingly, with macaroni and cheese and fries with Pepsi.

"Hungry, huh?" I asked. She grinned and stuck her tongue out at me.

"Says you." She said and I laughed. We got our food a few minutes later. I looked at her plate with wide eyes, and so did she.

"That, is one big ass burger." I said. She nodded, grinning and digging in. Before I started eating, I sent Jonathan the pictures that Brenda sent me and put it in my pocket.

TIME SKIP

4:30

We finished our food around 4:30, and when we got back in the truck I checked the text I'd gotten. It was from Jonathan.

Holy crap. That is amazing Sam! I'm seriously looking forward to this now!~Jonathan

Ikr?! Me too. I gtg, but when she finishes the rest, I'll show them to you~Sam

I put my phone back in my pocket and started driving. We went to the old ranch we used to go to, and helped wash some of the horses, then went riding. I rode the one Brenda did that one time, Fergus, and Stacy rode Abby. Let's just say it didn't end up well. Stacy ended up falling off of her at some point and broke her arm. Terry took care of her arm for her and we went home, where everyone except for the present glee club members were.
