Childhood Friendship (Glee Fanfiction)

Chapter 11

Nationals

"So this is the key. Boys with boys. Girls with girls. We just can afford to booked two rooms so..." Mr. Schue says to us and give the key to Finn and Mercedes.

I take a look at the key. It's 708 and 709. Which means its on the seventh floor. I never be in New York before but I heard about New York a lot from my dad since he usually come here.

I look around until I see my dad is went out from the lift and talking with some guys and wearing his earphone on his ear.

"Dad!" I shout and wave my hand.

Dad turn his face at me and chuckle then he walk closer to me. "Hey you guys. Will." Dad smiles at us.

"Nice to see you here, Michael." Mr. Schue smiles at dad.

"I didnt know you stay in this hotel too." I said to dad and put my hand around his waist.

"I always stay in this hotel when I went to New York." Dad says to me and put his hand around my shoulder.

"Alright guys, meeting in the room now." Mr. Schue says to us.

"Can you please give me five more minutes, Mr. Schuester? I havent meet this man since yesterday." I chuckle.

"Oh come on, I have works here to pay your bill." Dad rolls his eyes.

"Yeah sure. I'll give you five minutes then back to the room, Madison." Mr. Schue chuckles about to walk off with the others.

"Oh guys, forget to tell. The show begin at ten, and there will be shuttle bus from hotel to the theatre. The bus will come start at 8am so be ready for that." Dad says to them.

"Thanks for the information, Mike." Mr. Schue nodded and walk off with the others.

"Okay you better go to your room and have a meeting with the others." Dad says to me.

"Do you already have breakfast?" I ask dad.

"Yes, I had omlette with toast bread and juice this morning." Dad answer.

"You know that you cant eat omlette for breakfast or your blood presure will grow. We dont know about the oil they used for made that omlette. Okay so for tomorrow just boiled egg." I said to dad.

"Yes, ma'am. I was wrong to tell you that." Dad chuckles and kiss my head.

"I'm the best. I know that." I giggle.

"I'm sorry, ma'am but this hotel full booked because there will be Nationals Show Choir Championship. You have to make a reservation since one week ago." The receptionist says to a couple.

"Please, you dont even have a room for a honeymoon couple? I read from online that this hotel is the best." A woman says.

"Dad, can we go to Time Square for shopping tonight?" I grin at dad.

Dad didnt answer me but keep looking at that woman with her husband and begging for a room from this hotel.

"What a disaster." That woman says.

"Dad?" I raise my eyebrows at dad as he keep looking that woman.

"Florence? Is that you?" Dad called that woman.

I raise my eyebrows and gasped. Did my dad just call that woman with my mom's name? I cant see that woman clearly because a guy next to her.

That woman turn around at us along with that guy next to her. My jaw drop when I see her. She looks like my mom. My mom from the picture that dad ever showed me. Really same. No differences except for the hairstyle.

"M-Mike? Michael? Uh-uh hi." That woman says to dad.

"Mom?" I raise my eyebrows.

That woman turn her face at me and raises her eyebrows. "This is Madison, your daughter." Dad says to her.

She didnt say anything but look at me from head to toe. I just raise my eyebrows and frowns at her. I really wanna hug her but my body just being frozen. I dont know either I'm happy or mad to see her in front of me right now.

"Flo, you have a daughter? But you said this is first time you married and you never have a child before." That guy says to mom.

"She...." dad got cut off.

"I didnt know who is she. Michael is my ex-boyfriend in college. That's it. I never had a daughter or child before." She said to that guy.

"Seriously?" That guy asks.

"Yeah, maybe I was wrong to called her mom, because she looks familiar with my mom but I'm forget that I dont have a mom." I said.

"We better find another hotel. You're tired right? Come on." She said and takes that guy's hand and walk off.

My gaze follow them walk out from this lobby hotel. She didnt admit that I'm her daughter. She just left with another guy and lie about herself.

"I cant believe she could say that. I was wrong to be in love with her." Dad says angrily.

I didnt say anything and still being quiet. I really cant believe that she didnt change. I meant, everything what my grandma said was right.

"You better go to your room. I'll meet you during the dinner time tonight, okay." Dad says to me.

"Dad, I love you so much." I hug dad really tight.

"I love you more, honey. You're my everything." Dad hugs me back and rubs my back.

"Well, I think that Mr. Schuester is already waiting for me. I have to go. My room is number 708." I said to dad.

"My room is 1105. Come there if you cant get a place to sleep or you wanna find me. I have to get back to work." Dad kisses my forehead and walk off.

I half-smiled and turn around to walk to the lift. Mr. Schue must be waiting for me. Tears slowly fall down to my face. I'm not sad. I'm mad.

I never wish to born from her belly. I couldnt believe she could say that. My dad shouldnt falling in love with her. But one thing that I really appreciated right now. I have the best dad in this world and he is enough for me.

I went out from the lift and looking for the room. I wipe my tears away and press the knob to open the door.

"Sorry for making you wait, Mr. Schue." I said with my head down and nassal voice.

"You okay, Madison?" Mr. Schue asks me.

"Yeah, I'm fine." I nodded and take off my coat and sit down on a bed next to Mercedes and Sam.

"Do you know that I can get an ahi tartare and a steak sandwich at 3:00 in the morning from their all-night dining menu?" Kurt says to us.

"I feel like Eloise." Tina says.

"I have pills for that." Brittany says to Kurt.

"All right, guys. This is your time.

Now, you are all on lockdown till you finish writing our songs for nationals. I want at least two solid verses by the time I get back." Mr. Schue says to us while giving us a paper and marker one by one.

"Aren't you gonna help us?" Rachel asks.

"I, um- I will be back and read your amazing creations and give notes. But right now I have to head to the theater to, uh, fill out some paperwork." Mr. Schue says to us and walk off.

"You okay? You just look like someone just cried." Sam says to me.

"I'm fine. It's just my foot suddenly hurt when I was downstairs. Maybe the effect of the plane." I said to Sam.

"Here, I got it." Sam says and place my leg on his leg. "You need to spread your legs." Sam smiles at me.

"Thanks, Sam." I smile at him then turn my face to this paper.

What song I'm gonna write about? I look around to find some inspiration until I see Finn look confused with his funny face and make me wanna laugh but I hold it.

I'm still cant forget about the night he kissed me even though it turns into an awkward moment but it was different and by looking at him, everything feel better.

Hold up, what am I talking about? I'm not in love. He is my bestfriend and nothing is gonna change. We both only friends. That's it.

Finn's POV

What is the song I'm going to write about? I look around until my eyes landed on Madison and Sam who talking each other then they both sit down next to each other and Sam let her to lay her legs on her legs and I dont like to see this.

I know Madison just cried. But I dont know what happened. Maybe I'll ask her later. Since I'm still cant forget about that night we kissed. It was amazing.

I even still cant believe that she kissed me back that night and it was really cool. Even though I know we didnt say much thing or something we feel to one another.

And I'm still dont know what I feel actually. It's confused me. But I have to get through that and I know that.

That's it. I know the song I'm going to write. I will write a song about Madison and I. But I wont tell anyone that the song is about us. Yeah I made it.

2 hours later

Madison's POV

"I'm stuck!" I groan and let out a sigh.

"Well you can write a song about someone's big lips or favorite things you like. It will be done like when I wrote Trouty Mouth with Tina." Santana says to me.

"I dont like that song." Sam rolls his eyes.

"Actually, I'm done with that." I giggle.

"Show it to us." Mercedes grins at me.

"Yeah yeah pleaseeee." Rachel begged.

"No. It's a secret just let Mr. Schue read this one." I shake my head.

Sam take a look at my paper a bit but I hold it and hide it. "It's song about pants." Sam says.

"No!" I protest and shakes my head.

"Haha I didnt see it, seriously." Sam chuckles at me.

"Well, our song already done." Brittany says to us.

"Yep. And Puck, would you mind to play the guitar for us?" Artie says to Puck.

Puck stand up from his seat and grabs the guitar and start playing it. Brittany and Artie are ready to shows us their song and singing.

Brittany (Artie):

I got you in the palm of my hand

Wanna put something hot in you

So hot that you can't stand (That you can't stand)

Gonna take you to my lips

Empty out every last drop

So thirsty for what's in you baby

That I can't stop (That I can't stop)

In the middle of the night, I'm in bed alone

Don't care if you're glass, paper, styrofoam

When I need some water, baby

Artie and Brittany:

Coffee or gin

Brittany (with Artie):

You're the (only thing, I wanna put them in)

Artie and Brittany:

My cup, my cup

Sayin', "What's up?"

To my cup, my cup

More of a friend than a silly pup

My cup

You know what it is

Sayin', "What's up?"

To my cup (Ahh)

I'm Sayin', "What's up?"

To my cup (Ahh)

I'm Sayin', "What's up?"

To my cup (Ahh)

"Are you singing about a cup?" Tina asks.

"Yeah. Totally." Brittany grins at us.

I stand up from my seat and take my coat. "We gotta get out of here." I said to them.

"Wait. No, no, no. Mr. Schue gave us explicit instructions. To write a song." Rachel shakes her head.

"And our problem is-is that our only inspiration are mattresses and bathroom cups." I said to them.

"Madison's right. We're in the artist capital of the world. Poets, musicians, actors, playwrights every dreamer that's ever lived has passed through this city. If we want our dreams to come true, we need to be out there with them, not stuck in here." Puck says.

"Guys, I don't think this is a good idea. I mean, we still got those songs to write. If we don't write them, we're gonna lose." Rachel says.

"No! They're right. Can't you hear the city calling to you?" Lauren says.

"We don't need to write songs for nationals.

New York's gonna write them for us." I grin at them.

"Yeah." Finn nodded as agree and grin back at me.

The others take their coat and their jacket. We then go out from our hotel room and run in the hall and get into the lift until then we go out from this hotel and look around.

We stayed in Intercontinental New York Times Square. One of the best hotel because it placed in the middle of New York City. This is amazing.

"Come on!" Rachel takes my hand and run lead me.

The others seems having fun with this. Seriously this is the best thing in my life.

Finn:

But I like New York

"Yeaaay!"

We ended up our song in the middle of Lincoln Center. Everyone are cheering happily and this is really fun.

I jump from that round statue but suddenly my feet slide down because of my boots but glad that someone catches my body and it's Sam.

"Hey, thanks." I smile at him.

"That's okay." Sam smiles back at me and help me to stand up.

I just smile at him and about to walk off to buy some ice cream from the ice cream truck until someone catches my hand.

"What?" I raise my eyebrows at Sam.

"Do you-do you wanna go out with me tonight?" Sam asks nervously.

"Yeah sure." I nodded and smile at him and run away.

I run off from the Lincoln Center to the food truck. I turn around and Sam is jumping happily until Puck punch his head with a bottle of mineral water. I just laugh and turn my face back to the food truck and buy some food.

~~~~

I'm sitting down on a bench in mini park inside this hotel and reading my comic book. The things that happened between me right when I arrived in New York really stuck me down.

"You okay? You shared your fake laughs at us." Finn suddenly sit down next to me.

"I'm fine." I sigh and close my book.

"You're not. Tell me." Finn says to me.

"I-I met my mom here." I said without looking at Finn.

"Your mom who left you for past seventeenth years?" Finn asks me.

"Yeah when I talked with my dad in lobby. My dad recognize her first then he called her and it was really her." I said to Finn.

"Then? Did you both hug it out or something?"

"No, she is having honeymoon with a new guy and she didnt admit that I'm her daughter. She said that she never have a daughter or a child before. So I guess that I also doesnt have a mom." I'm sniffing. "I though after seventeen years she want to change her mind but I was wrong. She is still another woman that I've ever know. Is it really a mistake to let me born? Because sometimes I think that she really wish that I'd never born or be in this world."

"You are worth to live in this world. You dont need a mom to be everything you want to be. You have a father who loves you unconditionally, Maddy. Just screw that. Just consider that you met a stranger not your mom." Finn says to me. I turn my face at him and raise my eyebrows at him. "You are amazing with or without your mom. You're amazing because yourself not because anyone else. She will be the one who regret by said that. Just look at the future. You will be great artist and you will write a book maybe..."

"I dont want to write a book." I chuckle.

Finn just chuckle. "Okay I know that, just imagine that. She will regret it. You can survive even it's only with your dad. You can do that okay." Finn smiles at me.

"Thanks, Finn." I smile back at Finn.

"That's okay. That's what a best friend should do." Finn says to me. "Well, I'm here actually because I wanna show you this." Finn give a paper to me.

I take that paper and read it. "You wrote this song?" I turn my face at him.

"Yeah. What do you think?" Finn asks me.

"This is beautiful, Finn. You got that talent." I chuckle.

"Would you sing this song duet with me?"

I turn my face at him and frown. "Why I should sing a duet song with you when you wrote this song for Rachel? You should sing this song duet with her. It'll kill amd make us win nationals." I said to Finn and give that paper back to him.

"Yeah you're right." Finn nodded.

"I read the note inside my book. It was for Rachel right? Just ask her out and give that paper to her and done. She looked really happy to be here and I guess it will be perfect if you hangin out with someone you love." I grin at Finn.

"Dont teach me about love when you asked my help for that." Finn chuckles.

"Okay, I'm sorry but I guess I have to go now." I said to Finn and stand up from my seat.

"Where are you going to?" Finn asks me.

"Get ready because tonight, I'm gonna have a date." I giggle and about to walk off.

"What?" Finn asks.

"Sam asked me out and I said yes for that so we are in the B plan now." I grin at Finn and walk away.

I walk off from that mini park. I turn around and Finn is still sitting down there with his head down and I dont know why.

I guess that I should open my heart so I said yes when Sam asked me out and I dont wanna stuck in this confusing situation.

Finn's POV

"Sam asked me out and I said yes for that so we are in the B plan now." Madison grins at me and walk away.

I didnt say anything and watch her disappear. She red the paper inside her book. She red the paper that I should give to her but she thinks that it's for Rachel.

Now, I dont know what I feel. I let out a sigh and stand up from my seat and turn my way to my hotel room.

This is really confusing. I guess that I'm still in love with Rachel but why I dont like when Madison told me about Sam? Is it because of the 'friendship' feeling? I dont know.

But Madison was right. To win nationals, I have to get duet with Rachel. We have our vocal power and we will win this. I know that.

I walk enter my room and the others are inside and stuck with some papers except for Sam who checking out his suitcase.

"What about this one?" Sam shows us a denim jacket.

"Rich girl likes a guy with black suit, dude." Puck says to Sam.

"Well, this is the only one suit that I brough." Sam says and take a suit.

"Hey, can I try something out on you guys? I think that one of our songs should be a duet with me and Rachel." I said to them.

"I just want to win. We all know that you two doing a duet is our best shot at that." Mike smiles at me.

"Awesome." I smile back him and nodded.

"Okay. Can we just talk about the Jewish elephant in the room? Ask her out, dude." Puck says to me.

"Who? Rachel? But she's totally into Jesse right now." I said to them.

"You're in New York, the city of love." Puck says to me.

"I thought that was Paris." Sam says.

"Anything's possible here. You need to ask her out tonight. Take her on one of those big, awful dates you see in those unwatchable romantic comedies that you grow a v****a if you watch all the way through. This is your shot, dude." Puck says to me.

"And this is my shot too! Wish me luck! I hope that I wont ruin my first date." Sam says and wear that black suit with and take a bowtie.

"Madison doesnt like that bowtie colour. She is moody one and if she didnt like something she wont be totally into it." I said to Sam.

"Go get mine, dude." Mike give a black tie to Sam.

"Wow, dude. You know everything about her. What is her favorite food?" Sam asks me.

"Tots." I simply said.

"Tots? That's Mercedes's favorite food." Artie chuckles.

"But if you want to take her out, find Japanese restaurant. She loves sushi and eggroll." I said to Sam.

"Tell me more." Sam grins at me.

"Madison is moody. So if she is not really in mood to have PDA dont do that or she will ignore you all day." I said. "But one thing. Dont hurt her or try to get into her pants. I wont forgive you, if you do that." I said to Sam.

They suddenly being quiet and frowns at me. Oh God. What the hell am I talking about? It seems like I told Sam to back off.

"What a great best friend." Mike smiles at me and hold my shoulder.

"Thanks for the info." Sam smiles at me.

"You're welcome." I nodded and take my phone as I lay my body on the bed.

I keep looking at Rachel's number. Shall I text her and ask her out? God, this is confusing. I feel like it's not me when I know Madison and Sam will have a date. Am I jealous? I dont know.
