Author's Notes: So I've figured out most of the plot lines I'm going to include and who ends up with who now I just have to write it. I've decided I'm going to be putting more work into each chapter instead of just winging it. So starting next chapter each chapter will take place over the course of a week. Just a heads up this chapter will end with a MAJOR cliffhanger, so be prepared.

WEDNESDAY

Kate's POV:

She couldn't believe that he even knew she existed, much less the fact that he had just sung the sweetest song in the world to her. Asher was staring at her with this huge smirk on his face.

"Would you stop that! It's creepy," Kate whispered.

"Stop what?" Asher asked innocently, as if he had no idea what he was doing.

"You're so annoying, you know that right?"

"Maybe so, but I'm not in loooveeeeee," he teased her.

Kate just glared at him and mumbled something along the lines of "obnoxious little punk".

"Well, after that awesome ballad, does anyone think they could live up to it?" Coach Hudson questioned.

"I'd actually like to perform today, Coach."

Ali's POV:

Ali whipped her head around to look at the voice that had just spoken. Alejandro. He was sitting directly behind her. As he got up his almost black eyes met her green ones. He held her gaze for a moment, then walked over to the piano. She looked on curiously as, instead of just handing Brad the sheet music, he slid onto the bench and Brad got up.

He played the first four notes and Ali immediately knew what song he was going to sing. Tonight I Wanna Cry by Keith Urban. Country was her favorite music genre and Keith Urban was her favorite performer. Alejandro had actually taken her to one of his concerts in Chicago. She looked down at her ankle where, on a silver chain, hung a delicate ring engraved with forever. It had been a gift for their one year anniversary, and she couldn't bring herself to get rid of it.She allowed herself to look back at Alejandro. He was really pouring himself into the song. She could see tears in his eyes threatening to fall onto his perfect cheekbones.

Ali and Alejandro had been together from the beginning of freshman year up until about a month ago. He had cheated on her with another Cheerio and it had ended badly to say the least. The worst part was that she still loved him. His touch still sent an electric shock down her spine. His gaze still made the hairs on the back of her neck stand up. His hearty laugh still made her smile. She still wrote his jersey number on her wrist before every game. She could never trust him again, but she still wanted him. It was torture. So she avoided him completely. Until glee had forced them to be in the same room, it had been working out alright. But now that was all shot to hell.

Alejandro really was a good singer. The two used to sing along to the radio together. He was finishing up the song now.

"WOW! Alejandro, that was incredible!" Coach Hudson exclaimed.

After Glee:

As Ali was leaving the choir room, she looked up only to catch Alejandro looking right at her.

"Hey," he said,"So what'd you think?"

"Since when do you know how to play the piano?" She was glaring at him right in the eye.

He rubbed the back of his neck, "Uh. Yeah. About that. That guy, Alex, has been teaching me for a while."

"How long is a while?"

"A little less than a month."

Just after he said that, a boy wearing way too much cologne walked by them. Ali immediately sprinted off towards the nearest trash can. As she was leaning over it, she heard Alejandro's footsteps right behind her. Not a second before she threw up, she felt one of his big, rough hands pull her hair back. The other started to rub circles on her back.

"You're okay. You're okay. I got you." This made tears fall down Ali's face as she was throwing up.

THE NEXT DAY IN GLEE:

"Mr. Hudson and Miss Berry, I want to perform my ballad."

"Go ahead, Alex."

"Before I begin, I would like everyone to know that the song I'm about to sing really expresses how I'm feeling, even though you might not have heard it in a while."

Then the band started to play the opening chords Beautiful Soul by Jesse McCartney. Alex sounded almost exactly like him. Throughout the entire song he was staring right at Henna. This made Finn tense up a little bit. He was really protective of the small girl and he didn't know how much he trusted Jesse's brother.

Henna was blushing a little bit and looking at Alex with her eyes shining.

After he was finished everyone applauded and Coach Hudson let them out of class.

"So what'd you think?"

"It was good Alex. Really good." Henna smiled up at him. Alex really wasn't that tall, only about 5' 9. But Henna was incredibly tiny so he seemed huge; she was a foot shorter than him and weighed about 80 pounds.

"Thanks," he replied with a big grin, "I was wondering, do you wanna come over after school today?"

"Yeah, actually, that'd be cool." She smiled sincerely at him as he let out the breath he didn't know he was holding.

Suddenly, Alejandro came walking up to them, "Hey has either of you guys seen Ali? I know she's your best friend, Henna, so I figured you'd have an idea."

"You're right, Alejandro, she is my best friend. Which is exactly why that even if I did know why she isn't at school today, I wouldn't tell you," she glared at him. Henna hated Alejandro for what he put Ali through. What he was still putting her through. Ali had cried for a week straight when she'd found out about him and that hoe and broke up with him.

"Listen, Henna I know what I did was awful and I'm a total asshole. But I'm in love with Ali."

Henna paid no attention to Alex, who was looking around awkwardly," If you really loved her, you would want her to be happy, with someone who treats her right. And that obviously isn't you, you just admitted it."

Even though Henna was smaller than his 11 year old brother, Alejandro still felt like she was looking down on him, "You know what, you're right." And with that he was gone.

It was silent for awhile until Alex spoke, "So does this mean you're not coming over?"

"No, I am. But can we stop by Ali's house first?"

"Sure"

At Ali's house:

Henna walked up to Ali's front door with Alex waiting in his car. She opened the front door, knowing that it would be unlocked. Ali was incredibly forgetful and hardly ever remembered to lock the door.

"ALI! I SWEAR TO GOD IF YOU DON'T START LOCKING THIS THING!"

Ali came running down the stairs, "Sorry! I completely forgot!"

"Yeah I figured that much. Why weren't you at school?"

"Oh, I forgot to do my biology essay, so I told my mom I was sick."

Henna chuckled, "Nice. Well you're gonna love what I brought you."

"What?"

"More homework!" Henna exclaimed enthusiastically, using her cheerleader voice.

"Awesome," Ali deadpanned, "I'll be there tomorrow, I promise."

"Kay, see you then."

Henna walked out of the house and got into Alex's car. What she didn't know was that the second she was out of sight, Ali slid onto the floor and started crying.

At Alex's house:

Alex led Henna through the house and into the kitchen, where a guy who looked like Alex but in his 20s was on a Macbook.

"Henna, this is my brother, Jesse."

Henna put out her hand to shake but Jesse ignored it, "Henna Corbett? You're the female lead for New Directions right?"

"Uh, yeah, how did you know that?"

Once again, Jesse ignored her question and simply said, "Hmm." And just like that he walked out of the room and up the stairs.

"No offense but, why is your brother such a douchebag?"

"Yeah, sorry about that. He used to do glee too and he was really good. His team won nationals four years in a row. Then he moved out to LA but only booked a few shitty commercials but that was it. Now he's bitter because he's stuck living with his parents and coaching Vocal Adrenaline."

"Vocal Adrenaline?" Henna looked at him questioningly.

"Oh, sorry. You're so good at show choir, I sometimes forget that you're new to it," Henna blushed, "Vocal Adrenaline is Carmel High's glee club."

"Carmel? Like our rival school?"

"Yeah. That's where he went and it's actually where I'm zoned but I wanted to go to Mckinnley instead. It really pissed Jesse off."

"Oh."

Alex grabbed them both bottles of water and led her into the living room, where Henna spotted Rock Band, "Can we play? Please."

Alex laughed really loud, "Sure, of course."

THE NEXT DAY:

"Alright guys, it's the end of the week and everyone has performed except for one person," Finn said, "Ali? Do you have a song for us?"

"Sorry Coach, I don't." Ali said quietly looking down at the floor. Alejandro looked at her questioningly.

"Alright, everyone but Ali is free to go."

Everyone did as they were told, Alejandro looking back at her once again.

"Ali, what's going on? You seemed so excited to join New Directions. Why didn't you do the assignment?"

Ali looked at her hands in her lap, "I just have a lot going on Coach."

There was silence for a little bit then Finn cleared his throat, "Look, I try to be as understanding as I can but if I don't know what's going on with you, I don't know if it's a good enough reason to just blow off assignments."

Ali let out a staggered breath and looked up at her coach with tears in her eyes.

"I'm pregnant."
