AU: My last chapter and the story is complete. I don't own the song Beth. It's by Kiss the band Kiss. Please read and review! :D

Chapter 9: Beth.

Beth decided to walk into Mr. Schuester's office that morning to apologize for her behavior. She knew his teacher knew her parents. She knew this whole time he's known her that she was adopted.

"I owe you an apologize." Beth began. "For the way I've been acting. I was mad at you. I was mad that you knew something I never knew. I always thought you were some strange creepy teacher who always checked up on me. But, now I know. It's because I'm adopted. I'm not a Corcoran. I'm a Puckerman. I took my anger out on my mother and I wanted to find my parents. I eventually did but that didn't turn out so well. I understand now why you want me in Glee Club but like I said, Mr. Schu, I will never join it. No, never. And that's why I'm here."

Mr. Schuester looks at the blonde. She was a young Quinn Fabray. "Thank you for the apology. I didn't want to push you into talking to me. I'm sorry you found things didn't go so well. Quinn and Puck were one of my favorite students."

Beth nods. "That's great, Mr. Schu." She smiles sarcastically. She slowly watches Mr. Schuester take out something from his drawer. "I wanted to give you this." He hands it to Beth. "It's something they told me to give to you when you were just a few hours old. They guessed you would be a student in Lima, and here you are."

Beth slowly took the tape from Mr. Schu. "Just listen. Listen to every word."

She didn't say anything. She walks out of her teacher's office.

What's inside this tape?

Beth wanted to be alone this afternoon. While she was driving home, she couldn't stop but think about the tape that she threw in her bag. She gets the mail and closes the door behind her. She separates mail, junk mail, and mail for her mother.

But there was one that caught her eye. A letter address to her.

Beth Corcoran.

She ran upstairs to her room and dumps everything inside her bag on the floor. She picks up the letter and hesitates to open it. She hesitates to listen to the tape on her radio.

She had to do this. She knew she had to.

Maybe it was an explanation.

She took a deep breath and listens to the tape on the radio.

She heard violins and voices. She knew she heard Finn's.

Beth, I hear you callin'

But I can't come home right now

Me and the boys are playin'

And we just can't find the sound

She began to cry, in which she hasn't cried in a while.

Just a few more hours

And I'll be right home to you

I think I hear them callin'

Oh, Beth what can I do?
Beth, what can I do?

She figured one of the voices belonged to Puck. She couldn't stop crying. She felt her body shaking. This is a song just for her

You say you feel so empty

That our house just ain't a home

I'll always be somewhere else

And you're always there alone

And she was alone. She had no one to tell her that she'd be okay. She didn't want to bother Rachel or Finn. She closes her eyes as she continues to listen to the rest of the lyrics.

Just a few more hours

And I'll be right home to you

I think I hear the mcallin'
Oh, Beth what can I do?
Beth, what can I do?

She felt horrible. She felt horrible that she didn't give Quinn and Puck a second chance. She hasn't contact them or seen them after that night. She promised herself she wouldn't talk to them after asking them that one important question. If they ever regretted having her or putting her up for adoption.

Beth, I know you're lonely

And I hope you'll be alright

Cause me and the boys

Will be playing, all night, all night.

She closes her eyes tightly as the tears continue rolling down her face. She takes the tape out adn closes her radio.

She cries on her pillow. She cries even harder. Her cries have turned into sobs. The song was enough for her.

She couldn't open the letter yet...not yet...it's just too much for her.

Shelby has called Beth to explain to her that she would be coming home late. Beth wasn't mad. Their relationship has got better. She's been crying for hours. She hasn't moved from her bed.

She saw the time and it was nine-thirty p.m. She wasn't sure if she was hungry or not. She hasn't ate since school. She slowly sat herself up and grabs her pillow to hug it.

She takes the letter and traces it with her fingers before opening it.

Come on, Beth. You can do this. Open the damn letter. She slowly opens the letter and unfolds the paper.

Our Dearest Beth,

We haven't heard from you. We know you have every right to be mad at us. We're sorry that our first meeting didn't turn out well. We thought about you day after day. We have nights where we can't sleep. We had our high hopes that whenever our phone rang, it would be Rachel or Finn, telling us that you want to see us again. Our high hopes were crushed.

Our biggest regret was giving you up for adoption.

Beth, sweetie? We love you so, so, so much.

Reading those nine words has made Beth calm down. She smiled for the first time after sobbing uncontrollably.

Her parents, Quinn and Puck love her, and they never regretted her.

She knew she could go to bed with a smile on her face.
