REPLAY. (Glee!)

xxiv

"Graduation is just around the corner, Lex!"

The morning of the final week at school, the house was tense. Finn was leaving to join the military, Kurt had a job lined up at the Lima bean for next semester, and Alexis was going into her senior year- and this was all happening on Friday. 5 days until nothing was the same.

The three siblings all sat at the breakfast bar together, which was a contrast to last year. Finn was eating a bowl of lucky charms, Kurt sat drinking a smoothie, and Alexis ate a piece of toast.

"Graduation, fun." The brunette mumbled, "AKA my brother is leaving for the worst job in the world."

"Don't be sad, Lex." Kurt sighed, rubbing his sister's shoulder.

It's not that she wanted to be sad about it. God forbid- it was the opposite. Alexis wanted to happy for Finn, but she just hadn't made peace with the fact he might not come back yet. It scared her that the older brother that she loved to bits, would be going into a war zone.

Finn, frowning at his sister's sarcasm, placed his bowl into the dish washer and wrapped an arm around her shoulder, "I'll miss you, Lex. But I'll see you soon- I promise."

"I'll miss you too, Finny."

"I can't believe after summer you'll be off to Utah."

The choir room was tense when Alexis, Ricky and Margo strolled into the club for the first time that day. Of course, there was a certain happiness in the air- they had just become national champions, after all.

Most of the new directions were graduating and moving onto better things next week, and Alexis couldn't take it. Both her brothers, and most of her best friends would be gone; Not that she liked Puck very much.

"I'll come back to see my family soon" Ricky chuckled, "and I'll come see you guys. you guys are my family."

Both the brunettes hugged the blonde before sitting at the back of the choir room.

All the talking eventually died down, and Rachel decided to speak up, "God, remember 'sit down you're rocking the boat'?"

The original glee members (Artie, Tina, Alexis, Kurt, Mercedes and Rachel) all laughed quietly, before the latter spoke again, "that was a mess."

"A great, big, uncoordinated mess." Alexis grinned.

Santana nudged both the brunettes curiously, before smirking, "you know, it's a shame we never got to see that."

"..we could show you?"

All of them grinned, laughing as the original members lined up into a line and started to sing it. For Alexis; it brought up memories of freshman year.

Black graphic t-shirts with a long sleeved stripy shirt underneath, baggy jeans and MCR merchandise were constantly worn everywhere. It was a surprise that Santana even wanted to know Alexis during that year. she was in a bad place. Hunter was being abusive, she was suicidal- god it's a wonder how she didn't end it all. But she didn't.
