REPLAY. (Glee!)

"I can't believe it- New York, New York"

Mike frowned at my lack of enthusiasm, he had been concerned at my lack of happiness the past couple of weeks but I had brushed it off saying he was seeing things. Of course he wasn't lying- I had been acting odd because of the news I had discovered. But I hadn't even told Dad that I knew- let alone Kurt. I dreaded telling him.

We sat amongst the rest of the new directions at time square, "well believe it! Nationals here we come."

I grinned at him, and went to speak again before being interrupted by a gleeful Rachel rushing towards the group, "To celebrate our impending win at nationals, I got us all tickets to the longest running Broadway show ever- Cats!"

"Rachel, sweetie" I grumbled, "Cats closed about 11 years ago"

Mike's eyebrow raised at my kindness towards her- usually I would insult at every chance I get.. he definitely realised something was wrong.

"He did seem crazy, he charged my credit card by swiping it through his butt crack" Berry admitted, frowning.

"Oh Rachel, he definitely made an ass out of you" I cracked a small smile at my pun, making everyone except Berry laugh.

"Do you know I can get an ahi tartare and a steak sandwich at three in the morning with their all-night menu?" Kurt gasped, spread out on his hotel bed, "I feel like Elouise"

I shuddered at the name and pushed down the gut feeling that something was gonna go wrong.

Brittany looked up at him, "I have pills for that"

"Alright guys!" Mr Schue clapped, "this is your time. Now, you are all on lockdown till you finish writing your songs for nationals" I groaned in chorus with the annoyed mumbles, "I want at least two solid verses by the time I get back"

I frowned at the man I thought to be a second father, "you're not helping us?"

Will hesitated, "I uh- will be back to read your amazing creations and give notes. But right now I- have to head to the theatre to..fill out some paperwork"

He slipped out the door and immediately I shook my head, "he's definitely doing something suspicious"

*****

Everyone was going crazy about writing  this stupid song.

I was sat in the corner of the room watching Brittany and Artie sing about a cup. A freaking cup.

I grumbled from behind my notepad while the others held back laughter.

"Hold on, are you singing about a cup?" Tina questioned as Brittany and Artie finished their song.

"Yep" Brittany smirked, "totally."

"We gotta get out of here" Quinn stood up and grabbed her jacket.
