The Choir Room----------------------------------


Everyone were hanging out in the choir room with Mr. Shue when Amelia and Brandon walk in. Kayla looks at Lana to see her really out of it.

"Sorry about missing the duets competition but we have a song we wish to perform," whispers Amelia.

Lana couldn't take it anymore and gets up to leave the room. Brandon graps Lana which causes the guys to jump up.

"Whats your problem?" Brandon hisses," You always seem to be trying to get my girl."

Lana starts to laugh.

"Don't make me laugh," Lana spits," Why would I want a girl that choose to cheat on me with you."

Lana pulls away from everyone and leaves. Everyone watches as Lana storms out the room. Amelia couldn't look Brandon in the eye. Mr. Shue herds everyone one into their seats.

"I guess that I know what our assignment is going to be for the week. Drum roll, please," Mr. Shue pauses," Kelly Clarkson."

The bell rings and everyone gets up to leave. Amelia tries to stop Brandon but he wouldn't stop. Dom graps Devlin.

"Dev, I have an idea. But I need your help," Dom says and Devlin nods.

Dom motioms for Devlin to follow him.




Lana's House----------------------


Dom rings the doorbell. Nick answers the door.

"Lala doesn't wish to see anyone,"Nick states.

"Not here for her. We need Gabe," replies Dom.

Nick looks at Dom and then yells for Gabe. Gabe comes running down the stairs.

"Lets take a walk," says Dom.

Dom explains everything to Gabe. After an hour of talking Gabe agrees.




The Next Day-------------------

Rose was sitting in Math class staring at Dom.



Oh sweetheart, put the bottle down

You've got too much talent

I see you through those bloodshot eyes

There's a cure you've found it

Slow motion sparks

You caught that chill

Now don't deny it

But boys will be boys

Oh yes they will

They don't wanna define it

Just give up the game and get into me

If you're looking for thrills then get cold feet

Oh no I do not hook up, up

I go slow

So if you want me

I don't come cheap

Keep your hand in my hand

And your heart on your sleeve

Oh no I do not hook up, up

I fall deep

'Cause the more that you try

The harder I'll fight

To say ... Goodnight


Rose stands in the middle of the choir room.



I can't cook, no, but I can clean

Up the mess she left

Lay your head down and feel the beats

As I kiss your forehead

This may not last

But this is now

So love the one you're with

You want a chase

But you're chasing your tail

A quick fix won't ever get you well

'Cause I feel the distance

Between us

Could be over

With a snap of your finger...

Oh no

Oh no I do not hook up, up

I go slow

So if you Want me

I don't come cheap

Keep your hand in my hand

And your heart on your sleeve

Oh no I do not hook up, up

I fall deep

'Cause the more that you try

The harder I'll fight

To say...

'Cause the more that you try

The harder I'll fight

To say... Goodnight

Oh sweetheart put the bottle down

'Cause you don't wanna miss out


Everyone is in the choir room minus Lana. Everyone smiles at Rose.

"That song is excellent for you, Rose,"says Mr. Shue, "Anybody else?"

"Me, Mr. Shue," says Abigail," I will be singing 'Since U Been Gone'."

The band starts to play.



Here's the thing we started out friends

It was cool but it was all pretend

Yeah yeah

Since U Been Gone

You dedicated you took the time

Wasn't long till I called you mine

Yeah Yeah

Since U Been Gone

And all you'd ever hear me say

Is how I pictured me with you

That's all you'd ever hear me say

But Since U Been Gone

I can breathe for the first time

I'm so moving on

Yeah, yeah

Thanks to you

Now I get

What I want

Since U Been Gone

How can I put it? You put me on

I even fell for that stupid love song

Yeah, yeah

Since U Been Gone

How come I'd never hear you say

I just wanna be with you

I guess you never felt that way

But Since U Been Gone

I can breathe for the first time

I'm so moving on

Yeah, yeah

Thanks to you

Now I get (I get) what I want

Since U Been Gone

You had your chance you blew it

Out of sight, out of mind

Shut your mouth I just can't take it

Again and again and again and again


Everyone starts to rock out to the song.



Since U Been Gone

I can breathe for the first time

I'm so moving on

Yeah, yeah

Thanks to you (thanks to you)

Now I get, I get what I want

I can breathe for the first time

I'm so moving on

Yeah, yeah

Thanks to you (thanks to you)

Now I get (I get)

You should know (you should know)

That I get, I get what I want

Since U Been Gone

Since U Been Gone

Since U Been Gone


The music stops.

"Wow,"Mr. Shue says,"We didn't know you could rock out like that!"


Everyone starts to exit the room. Kayla sees Devlin and Dom stay behind.

"What are you two up to?" asks Kayla.

Devlin and Dom look at each other. They spill the beans. Kayla takes a second to think.

"I know that song. Do you mind if I sing it," Kayla asks.

"That is a great idea," Dom says as he looks at Devlin.

Gabe enters the chor room with Lana behind him.

"Hey, L.J.," says Kayla with a smile.

Devlin pulls a seat up for Lana to sit in.

"Sit down,Lala," says Gabe from behind the drums.

Dom grabs a guitar and Devlin sits at the piano. And Kayla starts to sing.



Maybe no one told you

There is strength in your tears

And so you fight to keep from pouring out

But what if you unlock the gate that keeps your secret soul

Do you think there's enough to that you might drown?

If no one will listen

If you decide to speak

If no one is left

Standing after the bombs explode

If no one wants to look at you

For what you really are

I will be here still

No one can tell you where you alone must go

There's no telling what you will find there

And, God, I know the fear that eats away at your bones

Screaming every step, "Just stay here"

If you find your fists are raw and red from beating yourself down

If your legs have given out under the weight

If you find that you've been settling for a world of gray

So you wouldn't have to face down your own hate


When Kayla stops singing Lana hugs her.




The Next Day-----------------------

The girls minus Kayla and Lana were trying to comfort Amelia when Brandon walks in with Blake and Harrison. Kayla, Dom, Devlin and Lana are the last to arrive. Mr. Shue walks in.

"I see we are all here. Lana I hear you want to sing something," says Mr. Shue.

Lana nods and gets up.



You know the bed feels warmer

Sleeping here alone

You know I dream in colour

And do the things I want


You think you got the best of me

Think you had the last laugh

Bet you think that everything good is gone

Think you left me broken down

Think that I'd come running back

Baby you don't know me, cause you're dead wrong


What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

Stand a little taller

Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone

What doesn't kill you makes a fighter

Footsteps even lighter

Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone


What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger

Just me, myself and I

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

Stand a little taller

Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone


You heard that I was starting over with someone new

They told you I was moving on, over you


You didn't think that I'd come back

I'd come back swinging

You try to break me, but you see


What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

Stand a little taller

Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone

What doesn't kill you makes a fighter

Footsteps even lighter

Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone


What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger

Just me, myself and I

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

Stand a little taller

Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone


Thanks to you I got a new thing started

Thanks to you I'm not the broken-hearted

Thanks to you I'm finally thinking about me

You know in the end the day you left was just my beginning

In the end...


What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

Stand a little taller

Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone

What doesn't kill you makes a fighter

Footsteps even lighter

Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone


What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger

Just me, myself and I

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

Stand a little taller

Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone




Everyone claps for Lana before she walks out of the choir room. Brandon chases her.

"Lana," says Brandon," I know we aren't really friends. But I didn't know that she did that. I am sorry for almost hitting you."

Lana stops and turns around.

"Accepted," says Lana.

"Come on we have a group number we need you in," says Brandon as he smiles.

They walk to the April Rhodes Civic Pavilion.




The April Rhodes Civic Pavilion---------------------------------------



Dom and Harrison

If you go, they'll say you're following

If you don't, then you're too good for them

If you smile, you must be ignorant

If you don't, what's your problem?

If you're down, so ungrateful

And if you're happy, why so selfish?

And, you can't win

No, you can't win, no


Lana and the New Directions

The one who doesn't quite fit in

Underdressed under your skin

Oh, a walking disaster

Everytime you try to fly

You end up falling out of line, oh

You can't can't win, no


Devlin and Rose

If you're thin, poor little walking disease

If you're not, they're all screaming obese

If you're straight, why aren't you married yet?

If you're gay, why aren't you waving a flag?

If it's wrong, you're knowing it

If it's right, you'll always miss

You can't win, no

You can't win, no


Lana and the New Directions

The one who doesn't quite fit in

Underdressed under your skin

Oh, a walking disaster

Everytime you try to fly

You end up falling out of line, oh

You can't can't win, no


Michelle and Rucker

And you try, you try so hard

But it's wearing on your heart

And you play, you play the game

But you pay, you pay for it

You can't win, no

You can't win no


Amelia and Abigail

If you speak, you'll only piss 'em off

If you don't, you're another robot

If you stop, they'll just say you quit

If you don't, you might lose your shit

You can't win, no

You can't win, no

You can't win, nooo


Lana and the New Directions

The one who doesn't quite fit in

Underdressed under your skin

Oh, a walking disaster

Everytime you try to fly

You end up falling out of line, oh

You can't can't win, no


Lana

I can't win

The one who doesn't quite fit in

Underdressed under your skin

Oh, a walking disaster

Everytime you try to fly

You end up falling out of line, oh

You can't can't win, no




They all smile at each other and then laugh.
