Chapter 32

Chicago

"Stay here first." Dad says to me and get into my hotel room.

"Dad..." I groan and roll my eyes. "You look like a guy from FBI. Checking out the room before I get in." I get in and frown at him.

"I said stay outside before I make sure this room is clear." Dad simply said.

"Why dont you bring metal detector then so you can find a bomb and let us exploded." I roll my eyes.

"Paris..."

"Daddy..."

The other girls just looking at us. I let out a sigh and sit down on a seat as dad is checking out the room in case he find something that can make me allergic.

"See? I found chrysanthemums and ordinary sunflowers. In a vase outside this window. You sleep in my room now." Dad says to me.

"No." I shake my head.

"Honey..."

"Dad, those are outside, just close the window and done." I roll my eyes.

"But what if you allergic with those?" Dad asks me.

"I wont, dad. I have my inhaler with me and my medicine. Okay dont worry." I said to him.

"We can take her care, Mr. Schue." Tina says to dad.

"See?" I raise my eyebrows at dad.

"Okay, fine but if something happen, call me immediately." Dad says to me.

I stand up from my seat and push him from behind. "I got that. Now, get out from ladies room. You are not allowed here." I said to dad.

"Okay if you wanna have lunch make sure that you have proper meal." Dad says.

"I got it. Bye." I roll my eyes.

"Alright." Dad kisses my head and walk away.

I roll my eyes and lock the door and walk to a bed and jump to the bed. "Mr. Schue is such a cool and hot daddy." Sugar says to me.

"I guess that many women wants to date him." Mercedes chuckles.

"No. I dont want to have step-mother. I dont want it." I shake my head.

"Hey, you guys want to have lunch? Britt and I plan to go have lunch downstairs." Santana says to us.

"Sure." I nodded.

"Yeah I want a burritos." Sugar nodded.

I stand up from the bed and take my phone and my wallet then walk out from my room to have lunch with the others.

~~~~

I'm sitting down on the edge of the bed and looking at Mercedes who lay down in the bed next to mine. She got fever and complaining about her stomachache and she cant stop throw up.

"What's going on? How bad is it?" Dad suddenly walks in.

"Her temperature's 101 degrees. Given the fact that Weezy's complaining about an upset stomach, it's either Amazonian dengue fever or the H1N1 super virus." Coach Sue simply said.

"Or I have food poisoning." Mercedes says weakly.

"We all wanted burritos for lunch, so we went to Chipotle, but Mercedes tried some dive called Seashora Salsation." Santana says to dad.

"You alright right?" Dad asks me.

"Yeah, I ate burritos like the others." I nodded.

"Will, word, please." Coach Sue says to dad and walk away from us.

"That's why I never want to try a food that sounded unfamiliar for me." I said to them.

"Yeah me too. Because I dont know the taste before." Quinn nodded as agree.

I turn my face and dad is still talking with coach Sue. He then walk back to us. "So here's what's gonna happen: Mercedes, you're on bed rest, Quinn, you're stepping in." Dad says to us.

"No, no, no, I can't dance that number. I can't sing it, either, not like..." Quinn shakes her head.

"The Troubletones need you." Dad says to her.

"And you're better than you think you are." Tina says to Quinn.

"Tina, you, too. You're in the Troubletones." Dad says to Tina.

"Mr. Schue, this is my last competition. I don't want to miss it." Mercedes says weakly.

"Amen, to that, sister. That's why I'm putting you on a vitamin B-12 drip. We're flushing your system with Pedialyte, and I'm gonna fill that bathtub with ice and see if we can't get your ambient body temperature back down to normal. Worked in Jacob's Ladder." Coach Sue says and take silver tube and walk away.

"All right, we all have our marching orders.Let's do it." Dad sighs. "And rehearsal will begin ten minutes downstairs. So let coach Sue taking care of Mercedes and the rest of you go downstairs." Dad says to us and walk away.

"I regret to eat that food now." Mercedes says weakly.

"Too late to regret it. You're gonna be okay." Santana says to her.

"Yeah." Sugar nodded as agree.

I half-smiled at them and nodded. Glad that I never want to try a new food or at least a new food that made by me, dad, or even my mom. Because I know the hygiene and how they cook it and the taste.

~~~~

"Hey, cut it off!" I shout and trying to break Sam and Puck off. Until Puck accidentally smash my face.

Mike takes my hand and pulls me away from them. "You okay?" Mike asks me.

"Yeah." I nodded.

"Fight, fight, fight!" Sugar yelled.

"Hey, cool out!" Dad and coach Beiste walk in and separated them.

"He's studying for geography while we're trying to rehearse! It's bogus!" Sam protest.

"Cause I already know the dance! You dance like you got your feet caught in bear traps. You're trying to gnaw them off." Puck yelled at Sam.

"Mr. Schue, are you aware that while we're arguing about jazz squares, Unique is being handed the key to the city by Rahm Emanuel?" Kurt asks dad.

"Really?" Dad frowns.

"And plus my pillow and my blanket fell into the pool. Disaster." Brittany says to us.

"Look, I think everybody is just a little tired.We've been rehearsing for three straight hours." Artie says to us.

"Yeah, and we'll rehearse all night if we have to. We can rest after we've won!" Finn says to us.

"Just because we've lost Mercedes doesn't mean we can be anything less than perfect.Perfect!" Rachel shouts.

"That's easy for you to say." Artie protest as everyone start arguing each other again.

"Okay, you know what? You know what? Hey! I don't want to hear any of this, We can't do it without her, because guess what? We don't have a choice. So be warned: if you are not giving this everything you've got, I will go all Lima Heights on your sorry asses." Santana yelled at us.

"Listen to yourselves." Dad simply said.

"I know. I'm sorry. I always go to the yelling place. I have rage." Santana sighs.

"No, it's a good thing. A great thing. There is so much passion in this room. Even all your arguing, it's about the work. You guys really want this. Okay, so let's take a half-hour break, and then we'll run it from the top." Dad says to us.

"Mr. Schue, is it okay if we keep going? We got the first slot, which is, like, the death slot. We have to be amazing." Tina says to dad.

"Yeah, Edge of Glory's a bitch. I said I'd be dancing by nationals. I'll be damned if I don't." Quinn sighs.

"Okay, then let's keep going. Mike, help the guys out with the choreography. Artie, help Puck with his geography. Ladies, Edge of Glory. Come on. Brittany, run us through it." Dad says.

"From the chorus?" Brittany asks.

"Yeah, from the chorus." Dad nodded.

I'm just sitting down on a table and let out a sigh. "You okay right?" Mike asks me.

"Yes." I nodded and drink my water.

"You okay, sweetheart?" Dad asks me.

"Yeah. I'm just dehydrated." I nodded.

"Hey, I'm so sorry for accidentally smashing your face. You should better look out when two guys fight because they might suddenly punch you." Puck says to me.

"That's okay. I was trying to break it off." I nodded and half-smiled at him.

"Good then." Puck nodded and walk away.

I let out a sigh and continue drink my water. "Got this downstairs from the bar lady." Dad shows me some chocolate candy.

"Does she asks your phone number or something?" I frown at dad.

"Come on." Dad rolls his eyes.

"I was just asking, dad."

"But not asking me that things." Dad simply said.

"Paris is always wrong." I let out a sigh.

"I was just asking why you ask me that?" Dad sits down next to me.

"You will know later." I turn my face at him and smile at him.

"I dont like any clue or mystery you know." Dad raises his eyebrows at me.

"I will tell you later. Okay hi five first." I grin at him and show him my hand. Dad just looking at me and frowns. I raise his hand and we both hi five. Dad is still frowning at me and I just chuckle then continue rehearsing with the others.

Third's POV

"Do you know what happened with my daughter lately?" Mr. Schue asked Coach Beiste as they both walk down in the hotel corridor.

"What do you mean, Will?" Coach Beiste frowns at Mr. Schue.

"She become more spoilt to me and Terri and she is like terrified everytime she find I talk to another new woman." Mr. Schue shrugged.

"Will, that kid only want to have complete family." Coach Beiste said to Mr. Schue.

"She does have a complete family. She has me and Terri. Her parents." Mr. Schue frowns.

"In two different places." Coach Beiste simply said. "My parents are divorced when I was five and I know exactly what she felt. Doing custody and living like nomads is exhausting."

"Yeah I know that. That's why Terri always try to be one when it connects to her." Mr. Schue nodded.

"Paris ever told me that she wants her parents back to be at once again. She ever asked me about two people who already divorced is it possible for them to get back together? And I said of course. I mean, people changes, second chance, true love does exist." Coach Beiste said.

"Wow I didn't know that she asked you that." Mr. Schue chuckles.

"Will, she doesn't have any siblings, she is lonely and things that make her happy is her parents. Be there for her." Coach Beiste said and walks enter her room.

Mr. Schue just standing in the hotel corridor and let out a sigh. He has no idea what to do with his little family problem despite to make Paris happy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Paris's POV

Today is finally the day of nationals. I'm kinda nervous, excited, and scared actually. I just hope that something bad wont happen to us today especially when we perform on that stage.

I walked out from the girl's restroom and turn my way to the dressing room as we are going to perform first and I'm really nervous.

I keep walking until I see dad is standing in front of the door of the dressing room and let out a sigh. Seems just he just been hoping something.

"You okay, dad?" I raise my eyebrows.

"Yes, I'm just little bit nervous. But it's all okay. Let's go." Dad walks into the dressing room as I following him. "All right, gather around, everyone!" Dad says as he walks in and everyone just cheering happily. "I just want to say a few words before we go out there."

"Hold on, Mr. Schue. Hold on. You've given us a lot of pep talks over the years, but remember, you told us once that, you know, a teacher's job is done when his students don't need him anymore?" Finn says to dad.

"Okay. Finn, the floor is yours." Dad chuckles.

"Last night we all sat around in a circle after you went to bed and we told stories. But then we went around the room, and everybody said what they wanted to win this thing for, and we all said the same thing: we want to win this for you." Finn said to dad.

Everyone just smiling and nodded as agree about what Finn just said. I smile and hold dad's hand as I'm standing next to him.

"And I know every year at school Figgins gives away the Teacher of the Year award.But I don't think any of us have to wait to see how we feel about that. You're, like, our Teacher of a Lifetime." Finn smiled at dad.

The others start cheering happily and agreed through what Finn just said to my dad. Yeah he is the best. None can compare to him.

"Thank you, Finn, all of you. I love you guys so much." Dad smiles at us.

"New Directions, line up!"

"All right, that's it. Show time. Hands in, everyone." Dad said to us as we are ready to have show circle.

"Now I know you weren't planning on doing the show circle without me." Mercedes and coach Sue walk in and grin at us.

"You're alive!" Tina chuckles.

"Yeah, thanks to Sue. She's a miracle worker." Mercedes chuckles.

"Oh, well, it's amazing what a little TLC, some cortisone and a witch doctor will do." Coach Sue grins at us.

"Thank God you're okay because that just means I'm not gonna fall on my face during that Trouble Tones number." Quinn chuckles.

"Oh, screw that. This is our last time performing together. You're doing it, and so you are you, Tina. I'm not taking no for an answer. Plus I have so many steroids going through my body right now, I may turn into the Incredible Hulk if you piss me off." Mercedes chuckles.

"Okay, if we don't get out of this room soon, none of us will be performing." Dad chuckles.

"Aaaaamazinggggggg!!!"

We then walk out from the dressing room and go to the backstage. I walk to the backstage as Mike is walking next to me.

"I called my mom and she said she will come today." I smiled at Mike.

"That's really nice." Mike smiled back at me.

I'm just stretching out in the backstage. First performance is from The Troubletones. They will singing a song by Lady Gaga and I'm not joining because this is senior moment to shine.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 48th annual National High School Show Choir Competition brought to you in part by Salozy-Edison Chevrolet, where you always save more money!

And Democratic City Councilman representing the new North Side and the West Loop corridor, I remind you to please turn off all cell phones and pagers."

The First performance ended up beautifully with standing ovation from all the audience. Next one is Rachel's solo. I looked at Rachel and she seems nervous especially Carmen Tibideux isn't come yet.

Rachel (New Directions):There were nights when the wind was so cold (Ahh)That my body froze in bed if I just listened to it right outside the window (Ahh, ahh)There were days when the sun was so cruelThat all the tears turned to dust and I just knew my eyes were drying up forever (Forever)

Rachel:I finished crying in the instant that you leftAnd I can't remember where or when or howAnd I banished every memory you and I had ever made

Rachel:And if we

New Directions:Oooh

In the middle of her performance Carmen Tibideux is coming. I'm pretty sure that we can win this thing. At least it will be the greatest year in my life.

Next performance is by all of us. I love this song and the choreography for this number actually.

Finn:Well, I remember every little thingAs if it happened only yesterdayParking by the lakeAnd there was not another car in sightAnd I never had a girlLooking any better than you didAnd all the kids at schoolThey were wishing they were me that night

We ended up our performance with a full of standing ovation. I turn my face at Mike and we are smiling at each other. This is gonna be the best. We will win this thing.

~~~~

"Hey, you came." I smile at mom and hug her from behind.

"Hey, I wont miss it for the world." She smiled at me and kisses my cheek.

I smile back and sit down on my seat right behind her and dad with Mike next to me. I just cant stop smiling. I mean it's been twice my mom want to see me perform for the show choir competition like this.

Mike and I smiling at each other as we're watching Vocal Adrenaline performance. "Damn those dance moves." Mike mumbles.

"We will win this thing." I hold his hand and smile at him.

"Sure we do." Mike smiles back at me.

I smile and lean my head on his shoulder as we watch the performance by Vocal Adrenaline together.

~~~~

Now we are standing on the stage. Holding hands to each other. Glad that we got top 3 finalist and I hope that we could win this thing.

"And now it's time to announce the winner of this year's individual show choir MVP award... From Vocal Arednaline, Carmel High's Wade "Unique" Adams!"

I smile and applauding for him. Yeah his performance was breathtaking and he was such a diva.

"And now a round of applause to your top three finalists for this year's National Show Choir Championship. In third place all the way from Oregon the Portland Scale Blazers!"

I let out a sigh and smile also applauding for Portland Scale Blazers. At least now I know New Directions will be into either first or second place.

"And now, ladies and gentlemen, quiet, please. Congratulations to both teams standing with us onstage. But not it's time to announce a winner. The 2012 National Show Choir Champions from McKinley High in Lima, Ohio, The New Directions!"

The judges give dad our big trophy. I smile happily and cheering then hugging at each other with the others. This is the best year ever seriously.
