A few hours later, we were all the choir room. I feel my phone vibrate and I look down to see a message from my oldest brother Cooper.

Cooper: Yo baby sis. I am in town. Go out for Lunch?

He is in town? Great...

Mia: Yeah sure.

Cooper: I will pick you guys up from school. Tell your brother.

Mia: See you then.

I show the messages to Blaine who was sitting next to me.

(Blaine) "He's in town?"

(Mia) "Yeah. Exactly my thought when I found out."

(Blaine) "Well, this is going to be fun."

(Mia) "Yeah. Can't wait."

I look towards the door and see Quinn and Artie roll in. Then the music begins to play.

Quinn:
"You could never know what it's like
Your blood like a winter freezes just like ice
And there's a cold lonely light that shines from you
You'll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use"

Artie:
"And did you think this fool could never win
Well look at me, I'mma coming back again
I got a taste of love in a simple way
But if you need to know while I'm still standing"

Artie with New Directions:
"You just fade away"

Artie and Quinn with New Directions harmonizing:
"Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
I'm still standing after all this time
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind"

Artie and Quinn with New Directions:
"I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah"

Quinn with New Directions harmonizing:
"Once I never could hope to win
You starting down the road leaving me again"

Artie:
"The threats you made were meant to cut me down
And if our love was just a circus"

Artie with New Directions:
"You'd be a clown by now"

Artie and Quinn:
"Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
I'm still standing after all this time
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind"

Artie and Quinn with New Directions:
"I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah
I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah"

Quinn with New Directions (Artie):
"Don't you know, I'm still standing (Ooooh)
Better than I ever did"

Artie and Quinn with New Directions harmonizing:
"Looking like a true survivor"

Quinn with New Directions:
"Feeling like a little kid
(Artie: I'm still standing) I'm still standing"

Artie and Quinn with New Directions (Artie):
"After all this time (Standing)
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind
I'm still standing
Yeah! yeah! yeah! (Yeah!)"

Quinn with New Directions (Artie):
"I'm still standing (Standing)
Yeah! yeah! yeah! (Whoa uh oh)"

Artie and Quinn with New Directions:
"I'm still standing"
