I am sat in the courtyard reading my favorite book, in an attempt to get some space. I hear the sound of a piano, and look up to see the god squad delivering a vocal valentine to Rachel. Rachel and Santana are standing there as a hippie kid begins to sing.

It was so cute, and it just made me wish I had a relationship like that. The god squad did an amazing number, bringing the choir in to help them sing was amazing. I get leaving for class since my silence was ruined.

Everyone of the couples were making out or on top of each other, but I sat down not really paying attention to anyone. I was looking at my phone debating whether or not to text Sebastian. He is really sweet with that number, but he did almost blind Blaine.
"Finn, Rachel, come on, that's enough. Everyone sit down and listen up. Rory has the floor," Mr. Shue says, and everyone sits down. I look up at Rory with a fake smile on my face.
"I've been trying to get my student visa extended, so I can spend Junior year here at McKinley. I just found out the request was turned down. So when the school year ends I'll have to go back to Ireland. I miss my family so much, but you guys have become my second family..." I space out thinking of all the times Rory and I have had. "...feel like home,"
[Cue Home by Glee Cast]
I felt like crying as I listened to Rory's beautiful voice ring through the room. It was such a sad, but romantic song to sing. I don't know why this song made me want to cry, but it might be added onto the fact that Rory, my other best friend, is leaving me.
"Rory," I look up to see Sugar getting up out of her seat. "I feel worse for you then I do for Artie. Will you be my date for Valentine's Day?" Sugar asks, and I shake my head at her.
"It would be an honor," Rory says with a smile on his face. They hug, and I just shake my head at them.

What is up with these sad songs! Mercedes is practically ripping out Sam's heart. This is a terrible Valentine's week. But Mercedes was killing this Whitney song. During her performance I was looking at my phone that had Sebastian's contact name pulled up.
I was sat far away from the group, so I was debating over texting Sebastian once again. I miss him, even though he hurt my friends and I. I let a tear fall, so I turn off my phone and look at Mercedes as she sings.
Chills ran up and down my body a few tears fall from my eyes. Sam stormed out of the room at the end of the song, making this 110x as sad. I wipe them away, and clap slowly at the end of Mercedes performance.

I sigh as I look at myself in the mirror. I actually look really good for someone who doesn't even want to go to this party. Sugar only allowed me to go, since I was performing tonight. I walk downstairs collecting my purse, phone and leather jacket. I walk out to my car, and drive towards the party. Kurt said he would meet me at Breadstix.

I make it to the party, and smile at the beautiful decorations and couples. I am sat next to a gloomy Kurt, as I am eating the chocolates Sugar has out. "You okay?" I ask Kurt after swallowing the delicious chocolate.
"Ya," I give him a look that said 'don't you lie to me'. He sighs shaking his head before looking at me. "You can't tell a soul what I'm telling you," I nod my head for him to continue. "David Karofsky told me he might love me," I choke on the chocolate I was eating, and reach for my water. After I take a breath, I look at Kurt with wide eyes.
"What?" I ask surprised. Kurt had told me about him and Karofsky's past. "What did you tell him?"
"I told him I am in love with Blaine, but I want to be friends," I make a face at that, but before I could speak Sugar is at the microphone speaking.
"Testing. Testing. Testing." I cringe at the squeaking noise. "What up, McKinkey?!" Everyone cheers, and I get up out of my seat.
"I've got to go, Kurty. We're talking about this later," I say before making my way to the stage.
"Welcome to the Sugar Shack! Okay. Everyone look under your chairs," Kurt does, and grabs mine for me also. Sugar keeps talking, but I'm zoning out focusing on my song lyrics. "Next up, a single lady who offered to help tonight. Give it up for Racquel Hardacre," I smile at strain smile at Sugar.
"Thanks Sugar for the introduction," Sugar winks at me before scurrying off stage. I laugh before looking out at the crowd. "How are you guys tonight?!" Cheers erupt through the room, and I smile at them. "I'm gonna slow things down for a second. Everyone grab your dates, and get ready to dance to one of my favorite love songs,"
[Cue I Can't Help Falling In Love With You originally by Elvis Presley, but my version will by Christina Grimme's cover]
Racquel:
Wise men say only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay
Would it be a sin
For I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I, I can't help falling in love with you
No I, I can't, can't falling in love with you
"Thank you everyone. And now straight from heaven above, give it up for The God Squad!" I announce before allowing the hippie kid from the court yard take my mic. I walk off the stage, and straight to Kurt. We hug each other as Joe is talking. "Why are you here?" I ask as I see Sebastian come up behind Kurt slowly. I pull away from Kurt and look at him dead in the eye.
"I called him," I turn around to look at Kurt. "You've been moping ever since you cut off any communication with him. As much as I hate him, you both care for each other. Give him a chance Racquel," Kurt says before turning me around to face Sebastian.
"I know I shouldn't be here, but please dance with me," Sebastian asks holding out his hand for me to take. I take his hand as he leads me to the back of the room. We start dancing as the God Squad sings Cherish/Cherish.
"I'm still mad at you," I say as we dance slowly. He nods his head after swallowing. He pulls me closer to him.
"I knew a number wasn't going to be enough for you or anyone else to forgive me, but it was only one step. Now I'm taking another of many," he says, making me go silent. We continue to dance until the song was almost over.
