Just a small town girl
Livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin' anywhere

now, it was Ariela's turn to have the lead,

Just a city boy
Born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train goin' anywhereA singer in a smokey room
The smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on, and on, and onStrangers, waitin'
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows
Searchin' in the night
Streetlights, people
Livin' just to find emotion
Hidin' somewhere in the nightWorkin' hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice
Just one more time
Some will win
Some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on, and on, and onStrangers waitin'
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows
Searchin' in the night
Streetlights, people
Livin' just to find emotion
Hidin' somewhere in the nightDon't stop believin'
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlight, people
Don't stop, believin'
Hold on
Streetlights, peopleDon't stop believin'
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlight, people

"quinns water just broke we got to go!" Mr Schuester yelled out to the group, everyones eyes widened. "someone needs to stay!"

"I will!" Ariela volunteered, Mr Schuester nodded, they all rushed out of the building, Ariela paced for a few moments until she heard over the intercom that the next team was about to perform, meaning she would have to go back into the audience, she sighed, straightening her dress as she shakily walked back into the auditorium and watched the team perform, then it was time for Vocal Adrenaline,

Is this the real life?

Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landside,
No escape from reality
Open your eyes,
Look up to the skies and see,
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy,
Because I'm easy come, easy go,
Little high, little low,
Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to
Me, to meMamaaa,
Just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger,
Now he's dead
Mamaaa, life had just begun,
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama, oooh,
Didn't mean to make you cry,
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow,
Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters

Too late, my time has come,

Sends shivers down my spine, body's aching all
The time
Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go,
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, oooh
I don't want to die,
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all.I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scaramouch, Scaramouch, will you do the Fandango!Thunderbolts and lightning, very, very frightening me
Galileo, Galileo
Galileo, Galileo
Galileo, Figaro - magnificoo
I'm just a poor boy nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy from a poor family,
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come, easy go, will you let me go
Bismillah! No, we will not let you go
(Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go
(Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go
(Let me go) Will not let you go
(Let me go)(Never) Never let you go
(Let me go) (Never) let you go (Let me go) Ah
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia, let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me,
For meee
So you think you can stop me and spit in my eye
So you think you can love me and leave me to die
Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby,
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here
Nothing really matters, Anyone can see,
Nothing really matters,
Nothing really matters to me
Any way the wind blows...

and the routine ended with Jesse kissing Meredith. An uneasy feeling spread through Ariela's stomach, somehow, Jesse was able to spot her right away, his smile faded as he looked at her with sorrowful eyes, her frown grew.

"the 2010 midwest regional runner up... from fort wayne, Indiana, the not-at-all stupidly named, Aural Intensity!"

they clapped for the other team whilst they cheered amongst themselves, Jesse and Ariela shared a glance as they moved in close to each other, "good luck," he attempted to speak to her, she ignored him and stood up straight,

"and now, your 2010 midwest regional show choir champions... Vocal Adrenaline!"

they roared, while the New Directions frowned, disappointed, though, ariela smiled softly, because she saw how happy he was. She didn't want to see Jesse miserable, she wanted to see him happy.

And when he looked back at her through the crowd of blissful teens surrounding him, he smiled too.

AND THATS THE STORY OF THE TWO HEARTBREAKERS.
