"My parents have found some boxes of things that your parents own in the attic. They were wondering if you'd want to go check them out or they'll bring them over to your place." Blaine says to Ryley over Skype on a Saturday.
"I'll have to get in contact with them." Ryley says.
"I could for you." Blaine says.
"That'd be nice. Can you call them up to say to bring them over?" Ryley asks.
"Yeah. Totally. Will do, cousin." Blaine says.
"Thanks Blainers." Ryley says.
"Your welcome. Love you." Blaine says.
"Love you too, Blainey Boo," Ryley says, "Tell Rach I love her."
"Will do," Blaine says, "Bye."
"Laters." Ryley says. She ends the Skype call.

The Anderson parents bring by a few boxes of stuff the next day owned by James and Sarah Anderson. Ryley puts them into the living room. She invites Ryder over to help out looking through them.
"So this all your parents stuff?" Ryder asks, looking through a box.
"Looks like it." Ryley says and pulls out an old record. The classic Let It Be album by The Beatles on a vinyl record. It's an original looking one with a bit of damage to it but it's still good.
"Wow. Is that an original vinyl record?" Ryder asks, looking at the record Ryley's holding.
"Looks like it. My parents must have liked The Beatles." Ryley says, studying the paper/cardboard the record is held in.
"What's the box say?" Ryder asks.
"It says 'James' so this is my dad's." Ryley says.
"Your dad was awesome to own that." Ryder says.
"I really wish I met my parents." Ryley says.
"I remember that day, back in those first weeks you were living here and I followed you in my car to the cemetery. I listened to what you said to your parents. I heard that you wish either they were still alive or you were dead with them," Ryder says, "Do you still feel that way? Do you still feel like you should've died with them?"
Ryley freezes up, letting Ryder's question sink in. So much has changed since then. She's changed so much. She then speaks, "I don't. Yeah, I wish that they were still alive but I have a good life. I have you, my dads', Rachel, Blaine and the New Directions. I have a family and that's all I've ever wanted in life."
Ryder smiles at Ryley. She smiles back.
"I love you so much." Ryder says.
"Love you too." Ryley says with a bright smile.
"Did you know what you should do?" Ryder asks.
"What?" Ryley asks.
"You should sing something from that album." Ryder says, pointing at the Let It Be record.
"I should. I could dedicate it to my parents. I could also watch some of those piano covers since it won't take me that long to learn it on the piano." Ryley says.
"You can do this, babe. I believe in you." Ryder says.
Ryley smiles at him before returning to search through the boxes.

"You now own The Beatles' Let It Be record?" Angie asks Ryley while they walk down the hallway to lunch after class together.
"Yup. My dad owned it. It's a bit damaged but it's good and works. I played it on Leroy and Hiram's record player and it was working like a charm." Ryley says.
"I'm so jealous." Angie says.
"Why?" Ryley asks.
"Everyone loves The Beatles." Angie says.
The two walk into the cafeteria, buy some lunch then sit down at the table where Gabe, Ryder, Marley, Jake, Blake, Natalie and Kitty are sitting.
"What's up, guys?" Blake asks Ryley and Angie as they sit.
"I've learnt how to play the piano. To be exact, Let It Be." Ryley says.
"You're going to play in Glee club, aren't you?" Kitty asks.
"Yes, yes I am." Ryley says.
"You better do that song justice." Jake says.
"I'll try." Ryley says.
----------------------------------------------
Ryley sat at the piano where Brad normally sat during Glee club rehearsals. She was just lightly tapping keys on the piano while she waited for the Glee club to arrive so she can perform.
Will's the first entered the choir room. He was followed by members of the club with Finn in the mix. Everyone took a seat in the choir room.
"Are you performing something today, Ryley?" Finn asks.
"Yeah." Ryley says.
"Go ahead." Finn says.
Ryley turns in the seat to face everyone then speaks up, "In the weekend, I went through boxes of my birth parents stuff and found out my dad owns the original record of Let It Be by The Beatles so I chose my favourite song on this record and by The Beatles overall. I also taught myself how to play piano for this song so just enjoy." She smiles at them all.
She then turns back around to face the piano to play it then sing.
