The door to the Glee room opened and Micah stepped inside. There was no one in which was a good thing, he was wanting to work on something and he hated people hearing what he wrote before it was finished. It wasn't that he was a perfectionist or anything of that nature, he just wanted people to be able to get the whole effect when he played and if they came in while it was still in development, he felt they wouldn't receive that. He knew that the room was usually used for the Glee kids to practice in but he was sure Mr. Schuester wouldn't mind, and he did play in the jazz band for them after all. Sitting down on the piano bench and setting his back pack down beside him, he unzipped it and pulled out a folder. The folder was filled with blank sheet music, except for three pages that had notes drawn in. It was the latest thing he'd been working on and he felt it was just about complete, but not quite there. Putting the music on the piano so he could see, his fingers started to move across the keys. When he came to the end of what he'd written so far, he closed his eyes as he took in a deep breath, and moved down into a C chord. Yes that was what was next. Removing the last sheet, he grabbed the pencil tucked behind his ear as the creative juices started flowing and he began adding on notes.
It was only a few minutes before the pencil came up off the sheets and he looked down at his work. There was only one thing to do, test it out. Setting the sheet music back up he started from the top continuing all the way through, to where he'd made the end. As the last note hit, he couldn't help but smile.

* YEAHYOUCANRESTASSURED ![/color][/font][/center] rachel berry strolled down the hallway with her regular perfection and poise. she was headed where she usually always was, the glee room. even though practice wasn't until forever, she liked to go early to warm up and get a little more extra time in. thats just the kind of person rachel berry was. but, when she went into the glee room, she found that it was already preoccupied.
she stopped short at the doorway and just listened. she knew she hated it when someone interrupted her singing, so she waited until the boy was finished then walked lightly into the room.
"that was really good." she stated with a friendly smile on her face.

It hadn't surprised Micah that someone had come into the Glee room, the members of the club were always coming in here throughout the day to practice one thing or another, and to see Rachel in there was almost expected. The girl was one of those who were in there more often than the others, and it showed. She was good. Real good.
"Oh umm thanks"
he replied back giving her a smile in return.
"It's not quite finished. I usually don't let people hear it before I polish it, but I guess you sort of caught me"
he let out a light chuckle as he turned his body more to face where she was.
"Were you - umm- were you needing to practice something?"
he asked with a slight tilt of the head and his right hand moving up to scratch the side of his head.
The question seemed a bit like a rhetorical one in his mind after he asked it. Sure he was actually wanting an answer and knew she'd give him one, but at the same time he knew what the answer would be. The thing he was really wondering was whether or not she'd want him in there while she was practicing
"I could accompany you if you like"
The young man thought he might throw the offer out there now instead of waiting til later.

* YEAHYOUCANRESTASSURED ![/color][/font][/center] she went over to lean against the piano like she had so very many times before. there was so many memories around this thing. it was crazy to ever even think of walking in one day, and it not being there. "oh," she said with a light smile. "sorry about that." rachel didnt mean to interrupt him.
"well, not something particular." she shrugged. glancing around. "but yeah, i was gonna sing a little bit." she stated. rachel looked up at him and smiled. "yeah, that would be nice. it gets kinda lonely in here sometimes." she grinned.

"Don't worry about it"
It hadn't been the first time someone had walked in on him, and it was probably his own fault for working on his things here instead of home. Micah was starting to think that maybe he should just play his finished things or published works here and compose on the small piano in the living room at home.
" just tell me what you want and I'm sure I can play it"
he told her as his hand moved up adjusting the rectangle-shaped black rimmed glasses that sat on his face. Micah rarely wore them, but he'd forgotten to put in his contacts that morning and grabbed them on his way out.
"Well you're not lonely today"
he grinned back at her as he waited for her to tell him what she wanted to sing

* YEAHYOUCANRESTASSURED ![/color][/font][/center] rachel smiled warmly when he implied that it was alright. he was of course, allowed to use their piano. rach knew that mr.shuester wouldn't mind something like that.
she thought for a moment, then it came to her on what she wanted to sing. " 'keep holding on'?" she said hopefully. she believed he knew it because they already sang it in glee before. granted, it wasn't as powerful with only rachel, but it was still fun to warm up to.
"You're not alone.
Together we stand.
I'll be by your side, you know I'll take your hand.
When it gets cold.
And it feels like the end.
There's no place to go,
You know I won't give in.
No I won't give in.
Keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
Just stay strong
'Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you
There's nothing you could say
Nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through.
So far away
I wish you were here
Before it's too late, this could all disappear
Before the doors close
And it comes to an end
With you by my side I will fight and defend
I'll fight and defend.
Keep holding on.
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
Just stay strong
'Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you
There's nothing you could say
Nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
Hear me when I say, when I say I believe
Nothing's gonna change, nothing's gonna change destiny
Whatever's meant to be will work out perfectly
La da da da
La da da da
La da da da da da da da da
Keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
Just stay strong
'Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you
There's nothing you could say
Nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
Keep holding on
Keep holding on."
as she sang she thought of the day her and finn had sang it together, and it just made her feel all the more upset.

"Keep Holding On, I think I can do that"
he smiled at her a little. It was one he had memorized from previous Glee rehearsals and performances which made things a lot easier.
His fingers began to glide across the piano as Rachel sang. She was talented, extremely talented and he'd always thought it was a shame that so many people in this school didn't appreciate the talent that she or the others in the Glee club had. Who cares that they performed and sang and danced? Wasn't that what some famous people did?
"That was really good"
he said as the song ended. Bringing his hands to rest on his lap he looked around
"Hey"
his voice was quiet as he could see she was a little upset
"are you alright?"

* YEAHYOUCANRESTASSURED ![/color][/font][/center] rachel was a very emotional girl sometimes. and there was no better evidence of that, then when she was singing. she always but one hundred percent of her feelings out when she sang. it was hard for her to keep them bottled up.
"thank you." she replied greatfully at his comment, then gave him a friendly smile. "you did a brilliant job at piano as well." she knew the look on her face probably showed it all, she was not alright. rachel had never really been a good liar. "yes. i'm fine." she said to him.

He smiled as she told him that he'd done a brilliant on the piano. When she tried to tell him that she was alright he shook his head.
"No you're not"
his hands moved back up to the keys and his fingers started moving across the keys. The notes lightly coming off the instrument
"You know sometimes it helps to talk about things"
Micah wasn't sure if she'd consider talking to him, since they didn't exactly know each other that well, but even if she didn't talk to him and talked to someone else that was good.
"Would you like to do another song?"
he asked quickly after his last comment. It wasn't that he didn't want to talk if she wanted to, it was just he felt that she might feel a little weird from it. Maybe she just wanted to get her head off of whatever or whoever it was that had caused her to be upset.

* YEAHYOUCANRESTASSURED ![/color][/font][/center] rachel side-smiled at his accusation. normally, she might have said something to the effect of him minding his own business, but he was right. she wasnt fine. "sure i am." she lied yet again. she thought about what he said. maybe it was good to talk about it. god knew that no one in glee wanted to talk to her, let alone finn.
"maybe in a minute." she said to him. she wanted to give her voice a second to relax. she walked over and sat down on the edge on the piano bench. "do you sing?" rachel asked curiously.

She was trying to tell him that she was fine once again, but he still knew it was a lie. However, he wasn't going to push the subject, if she wanted to talk she would.
"Well if wind up not being alright feel free to talk"
he said giving her a smile and a soft laugh.
What came caught him off guard a little, not the fact that she sat down on the piano bench, but what she asked him after doing so.
"Sing?"
his head turned to look at her and his hands slid off the keys
"Yeah, sort of, but I've never really sang in front of anyone. My little brothers and sister tell me I'm good, I think they're just saying that"
he added the last bit with a bit of a chuckle

* YEAHYOUCANRESTASSURED ![/color][/font][/center] rachel wasnt sure that finn would even want her talking about his situation to other people. even though pretty much everyone knew already. but still, it felt wrong to rachel. she side-smiled over at him. "thanks." she replied. maybe she would come around to it.
she laughed a little at his last statement. "oh i bet they're not." rachel said with a grin. "come on, i wanna hear you." she tore her eyes away from the keys to look up at his face.

He bit his lip and stared down at the keys as his hands moved to rest the fingers on them. His head lifted and turned only slightly.
"You have to promise not to laugh"
he told her as his fingers began to lightly move on the keys, causing a soft sound to come from them.
Once he was certain that she wasn't going to laugh, his fingers started to press a little harder against the keys. The only sound for a few seconds was that of the piano, until he opened his mouth letting the lyrics to the song flow out.
"You can go
You can start all over again
You can try to find a way to make another day go by
You can hide
Hold all your feelings inside
You can try to carry on when all you want to do is cry
And maybe someday
We'll figure all this out
Try to put an end to all our doubt
Try to find a way to make things better now and
Maybe someday we'll live our lives out loud
We'll be better off somehow
Someday
Now wait
And try to find another mistake
If you throw it all away then maybe you can change your mind
You can run, oh
And when everything is over and done
You can shine a little light on everything around you
Man it's good to be someone
And maybe someday
We'll figure all this out
Try to put an end to all our doubt
Try to find a way to make things better now and
Maybe someday we'll live our lives out loud
We'll be better off somehow
Someday
And I don't want to wait
I just want to know
I just want to hear you tell me so
Give it to me straight
Tell it to me slow
Cause maybe someday
We'll figure all this out
We'll put an end to all our doubt
Try to find a way to just feel better now and
Maybe someday we'll live our lives out loud
We'll be better off somehow
Someday
Cause sometimes we don't really notice
Just how good it can get
So maybe we should start all over
Start all over again
Cause sometimes we don't really notice
Just how good it can get
So maybe we should start all over
Start all over again
Cause sometimes we don't really notice
Just how good it can get
So maybe we should start all over
Start all over again"
At first it was a little soft, but as he hit the chorus it grew a little louder. By the time he got to the bridge, his eyes were closed, fingers pounding the keys and voice filling the room. As the song came to the end and he finished off the final notes, Micah slowly opened his eyes, wondering what she was going to say about it.
"Remember you can't laugh"
he said keeping his eyes down on his hands that still rested on the keys. So many in his family and those outside of that group that had overheard him while playing in his room had always discussed how talented he was, but for some reason Micah couldn't see the truth in it. He was a musician, not a singer in his mind.

* YEAHYOUCANRESTASSURED ![/color][/font][/center] "i promise." she said confidently. she could tell he was kind of nervous about it, but she was sure that he really couldnt be that bad. she knew it was kind of bratty of her, but she thought that if you couldnt sing, you just shouldnt. that was the way she was raised. but she watched his fingers glide over the keys delicately and listened as he began to sing.
she listened with a smile on her face. she noticed how he got more into it and much more confident as the song went on. and she was very thankful that he could indeed sing. rachel put a hand on his shoulder and shook her head. "i have no reason to! that was really good!"
