The day before Regionals

"Win or loose, we need to find a way to bring back Rachel," Mercedes said during their glee meeting

"Agreed, this terrible pink hair dye phase and punk wardrobe needs to end, we also need to cover up her Ryan seacrest tattoo," Kurt added

"You guys, I have an idea" Finn spoke up

"Well tell us" Artie chimes in

"We all need to pitch in, and it has to happen after regionals" Finn explains

"Ok dude, just tell us what it is" puck says eager

"It's..."

Back to Rachel POV
I heard the glee club lost. I feel really bad, but I shouldn't care, so whatever.

I was walking to the bleachers when someone pulls me into the auditorium making me drop my cigarette, the person sat me down on an empty chair that was in the middle. I decided to stay and see what this was all about. But I was not going to be happy about it.

I see all the glee girls sitting on stools in front of me,

Regrets collect like old friends,

When they finished I just sat there unamused. What the hell is this? An intervention. They quickly got up and the boys all stood in front of me. The lights dimmed once more.

Mother cannot guide you, now you're on you're own

When they finished I shifted in my seat a little. That was good but why are they doing this? Then the lights dimmed and there was a spotlight on puck.

Oh her eyes, her eyes

That was sweet, and I feel like leaving but then the spotlight shifts to Blaine and Kurt

Made a wrong turn, once or twice

Kurt was smiling at me and I was starting to feel my emotions catch up with me. So I just ignored them and kept a straight face. It got dark once again and Mercedes took the spotlight

As I lay me down,

I just sit there, then the spotlight goes to Britney and she gives me a small smile,

Put your makeup on,

I almost feel like crying, but there's no way I'm doing that. Soon the light shines on Santana. She looks sad, and I know that I'm sad already.

There's a place
That I know
It's not pretty there if you have ever gone

Then the spotlight shines on the one person who I don't want to even look at. I miss him I really do, but he deserves to be with someone less damaged. Finn looks at me and then starts,

When you try your best and you don't succeed,

I play with my necklace and I take a deep breath and start looking around the empty auditorium. All of a sudden the whole auditorium lights up and the whole glee club is standing there, they look at me and smile,

You're not alone, together we stand,

Santana and Finn sing lead and I play with my necklace to keep from crying. Then I see Finn look at me and how everyone is basically saying they're here for me.

After everything that's happened I can't hide it anymore, my true emotions start to show. So in the middle of the song I look away and close my eyes. I start crying silently. The tears just keep falling.

So when the song is over. Everyone comes to me and hugs me. I feel Finn hug me the longest. I cry and sob and let everything that I've been keep in just come out.

I finally understand, that I'm not alone.
