Regionals Part 2

All: Mama told me not to waste my life, she said spread your wings my little butterfly. Don't let what they say keep you up at night, and if they give you hell, then they can walk on by.

Quinn then skipped out on stage and everyone rose to their feet cheering. She did her own thing strutting by herself.

Quinn: My feet, feet can't touch the ground, and I can't hear a sound, but you just keep on running up your mouth yeah.

Rachel: Walk, walk on over there, 'cause I'm too fly to care, oh yeah.

Both: Your words don't mean a thing, I'm not listening. Keep talking, all I know is

All: Mama told me not to waste my life, she said spread your wings my little butterfly. Don't let what they say keep you up at night. And they can't detain you, 'cause wings are made to fly. And we don't let nobody bring us down. No matter what you say it won't hurt me. Don't matter if I fall from the sky. These wings are made to fly.

Finn then went to the front of the stage with Matthew and I admiringly watched him do what he loved.

Finn: I'm firing up on that runway, I know we're gonna get there someday, but we don't need no "Ready. Steady. Go!", no.

Matthew: Talk, talk turns into air and I don't even care, oh yeah

Both: Your words don't mean a thing, I'm not listening. Keep talking, all I know is.

All of us then started the new song. When we were all planning the set list, we thought this transition was perfect, and hearing it live blew the minds of the audience.

All: Boom! Boom! Boom! Clap!

Santana: You're picture perfect blue, unbathing on the moon, stars shining as your bones illuminate.

Blaine: First kiss just like a drug, under your influence, you take me over you're the magic in my veins, this must be love

We then started our very hardly practiced dance routine. The crowd was of course pulled in and enjoying our performance, a familiar feeling we all loved,

All: Boom! Clap! The sound of my heart, the beat goes on and on and on and on and. Boom! Clap! You make me feel good, come on to me, come on to me now.

I then met with the eyes of Summer and Paul sitting with the Warblers and my heart dropped. I then started to look at the individual faces of the crowd and became frightened at everyone eyeing us down.

All: Boom! Clap! The sound of my heart, the beat goes on and on and on and on and. Boom! Clap! You make me feel good, come on to me, come on to me now.

I almost forgot to go in front of everyone dancing to do my part, but I don't think anyone noticed.

Camila: No silver or no gold, could dress me up so go-

I was so scared looking at the crowd, I didn't watch my footing and tripped over someone behind me. I landed on my hands and knees and panicked frozen. Thank God Amelia took over a few seconds after as Mike helped me up.

Amelia: Just tell me what to do, I'll fall right into you. Going under cast a spell just say the word, I feel your love.

All: Boom! Clap! The sound of my heart, the beat goes on and on and on and on and. Boom! Clap! You make me feel good, come on to me, come on to me now. All: Boom! Clap! The sound of my heart, the beat goes on and on and on and on and. Boom! Clap! You make me feel good, come on to me, come on to me now.

I tried blinking the tears from my eyes continuing our routine as I watched Summer and Paul who I could tell were saying vulgar things about me.

Mercedes: You are the light and I will follow. You let me lose my shadow. You are the sun, the glowing halo. And you keep burning me up with all your love, uh

All: Boom! Clap! The sound of my heart, the beat goes on and on and on and on and. Boom! Clap! You make me feel good, come on to me, come on to me now. Boom! Clap! The sound of my heart, the beat goes on and on and on and on and. Boom! Clap! You make me feel good, come on to me, come on to me now.

The background music then shut off for some reason, but we instinctively continued to sing. I could hear the Warblers laughing, so I hid behind everyone else to let my tears fall.

All: Boom! Clap! The sound of my heart, the beat goes on and on and on and on and. Boom! Clap! You make me feel good, come on to me, come on to me now. Boom! Clap! The sound of my heart, the beat goes on and on and on and on and. Boom! Clap! You make me feel good, come on to me, come on to me now.

I knew I costed all of us. I didn't even stay to bow. I walked off stage and ripped my microphone set off and shoved it into the chest of a crew member. "Camila." I heard Finn call after me, but I didn't care.
