Defying Gravity

Silly Love Songs

"Liz! Liz! Liz!" I continued walking, trying to find Finn or just someone taller than me that I could hide behind. I walked into the Choir room and hid myself behind Mr. Schue as my red headed stalkers followed me. The gaggle of boys kept asking me to go out with them on Valentines Day. Kyle threw chocolate bars at them and yelled "Back! Back! I said Baack!" The boys all ran off. I stepped out from behind Mr. Schue and said "Thanks. They've been following me since my advertisement class." Finn, Sam, Puck, Kyle, Al, and Matt narrowed their eyes. Matt said "Liz, sweetie, that's harrassment and stalking." I rolled my eyes and said "I know. I  told them that I was spending valentines day with Nick and Peter but they kept trying to get a date out of me." I sat down and Puck started singing 'Fat bottomed Girls' I mentally giggled at all the other girls expressions. Once the song was done. I walked up to Puck and said "Go talk to Lauren. Why would you sing such an offensive song to her?" I put on my black studded leather jacket and left kinda pissed.

I walked through the hall texting Nick. I smiled softly at the pictures he sent of himself, Jeff, and Ruby, who was spending some time with them. I snorted when I saw the one of Jeff being squashed by his very pregnant and very short girlfriend. I began singing "

I was riding shotgun with my hair undone

In the front seat of his car

He's got a one-hand feel on the steering wheel

The other on my heart

I look around, turn the radio down

He says, baby is something wrong?

I say, Nothing I was just thinking

How we don't have our song and he says

(Chorus)

Our song is the slamming screen door

Sneakin' out late, tapping on your window

When we're on the phone and you talk real slow

'Cause it's late and your mama don't know

Our song is the way you laugh

The first date man, I didn't kiss her and I should have

And when I got home, before I said amen

Asking God if He could play it again

I was walking up the front porch steps

After everything that day

Had gone all wrong or been trampled on

And lost and thrown away

Got to the hallway, well, on my way

To my lovin' bed

I almost didn't notice all the roses

And the note that said

(Chorus)

Our song is the slamming screen door

Sneakin' out late, tapping on your window

When we're on the phone and you talk real slow

'Cause it's late and your mama don't know

Our song is the way you laugh

The first date man, I didn't kiss her and I should have

And when I got home, before I said amen

Asking God if He could play it again

I've heard every album, listened to the radio

Waited for something to come along

That was as good as our song

(Chorus)

'Cause our song is the slamming screen door

Sneakin' out late, tapping on his window

When we're on the phone and he talks real slow

'Cause it's late and his mama don't know

Our song is the way he laughs

The first date man, I didn't kiss him and I should have

And when I got home, before I said amen

Asking God if He could play it again

Play it again, oh, yeah, oh, oh, yeah

I was riding shotgun with my hair undone

In the front seat of his car

I grabbed a pen and an old napkin

And I wrote down our song." When I finished the song, I was standing on stage in the auditorium. Everyone clapped. I smiled and We went back to the choir room where Mike and Artie performed 'PYT (Pretty Young Thing)'

I walked in to the Choir Room humming and spinning around. I stopped when I saw Finn's gassy infant look. I raised an eyebrow and thought 'Finn, what have you done?' I sat down next to Blaire who gave me a 'WTF' look. I shrugged and Tina began singing 'My Funny Valentine' She broke down and Mike got up. I shook my head and checked in with Ruby.

I bustled around my kitchen looking for things to bake with. I found all the stuff for s'more pie and set to work making it for Ruby and Jeff. Beth threw a spoon across the kitchen and it smacked Peter in the chest, staining his red 'scarf' with chocolate pudding. I said "Beth! Don't do that!" and turned back to pull my pie out of the oven. I took it to Ruby and Jeff who were in the living room watching the pirncess and the frog.

I sat in the booth closest to the stage with Peter, Jocelyn, Elliot, and Ruby. The warblers sang Silly love songs. I smiled and fixed Peter's red bowtie. I smiled and thought 'Best Valentines day ever.'
