(Next day) (Rachel is walking down the halls while calling Aly.)
Rachel: Come on Aly pick up the phone, regional’s are today. (Phone call goes to voicemail.) Hey Aly, its me Rachel, I’ve called you 1,241 times and I still have no answer from you but anyways just wanted to tell you that regional’s are today and hope I see you soon. We really need you for the steps, so call me as soon as possible Bye! (Rachel hangs up the phone while Kurt and Blaine are standing in front of her.)
Rachel: hey, I called Aly but she hasn’t answered my calls.
Kurt: Did something happen to her again?
Rachel: I don’t know, I saw her yesterday and she was feeling much better but after she left and I heard nothing from her.
Blaine: Her dad probably took her phone away, so she couldn’t talk to anyone.
Kurt: Poor Aly (feels concern)
Rachel: I hope she’s okay and comes with us to regionals. It’s her first time and we need her this time.
(Bell rings)
(Aly house and its 2:10pm)
Aly: (stuck in her room, cleaning her bruises and trying to cover them up as much as she can with some make-up) I got to get out of here, Regional’s is today but I can’t cause my dad would kill me. Think Aly think…hmm (looks at her window) Well I guess that’s my only way out but would he see me? I hope not. (Aly starts packing her dress, shoes, permission slips that she fakes it and other things inside her backpack.) (Opens her window and sticks one foot out. She sticks her whole body out and closes her window very slowly. She started walking towards the large tree that was planted in the side of her house and slowly started climbing down. As she was climbing down, she saw her neighbors finally home after gone for months altogether playing games through their window all happy. A single teardrop came down her face as she was climbing down. She then saw her dad knocked out with a bunch of beer bottles surrounding him. Aly turned away and continued climbing down. All of a sudden, her shirt got stuck on a twig and she lost her balance and she fell to the ground.) Ugh! Crap! That hurts! What time is it? (Aly asks herself and checks her watch.) Oh shoot! Its 2:40pm! And the bus leaves at 3:00pm! I got to run! (Started running towards school.)
(On the bus)
Mr. Schu: Well I guess everyone is here. (Stacks the permission slips together.)
Rachel: Can we just wait for a few more minutes that maybe Aly can make it?
Mr. Schu: I wish I could but my watch strikes 3 so lets go.
(Aly out of breathe spotted the bus and started running as fast as she can.)
Artie: Hey, isn’t that Aly? (Looking through the window)
(Everyone got out of their seats and looked threw their windows.)
Aly: Don’t leave! I’m here! Don’t leave yet!
Tina: You made it!
Santana: Way to go munchkin!
Blaine: I thought we weren’t going to see you again.
Rachel: Where were you? I called you many times!
Aly: I am truly sorry everyone but I’m here now and ready to kick some warblers butt! (Laughs)
(Everyone cheers and the bus started moving.)
