Childhood Friendship (Glee Fanfiction)

Chapter 14

Senior Year

Back to school. Back to routine activity. Back to be normal person. I've been become like a abnormal person during summer and now I'm back to my life.

I spent my summer with summer camp and beach holiday with Sam for two weeks and from there I guess I'm sort kind of summer fling with him but no, we are not dating. I told Sam that I dont wanna have actual relationship when the fact I cant get Finn out of my mind.

And that's the thing that made me abnormal when I went to France and England. Really stupid. But I really miss him.

I'm still standing in front my locker and adjust my locker. "Hey..."

I shut my locker and smile back at Sam. "Hey, you. I thought you sack down in Kentucky and become Kentucky Fried Chicken new version." I chuckle.

"And I thought you stuck in front of Big Ben because you got headache looking at that big clock." Sam chuckles.

"Seriously, it was. I was stuck in front of Big Ben for about an hour." I said to him.

"That's bad." Sam shakes his head.

I just chuckle and turn my face until I see Finn is walking down with Rachel far away from my place until they both turn their way.

Sam and I keep walking until we enter the choir room together and Mr. Schue place all those trophy on the ground.

I just raise my eyebrows and sit down on the middle row with Sam next to me as the others are looking at those trophies.

"Mr. Schue, why are all of our trophies in the middle of the room?" Tina asks.

"I was sure that our nationals trophy would grow during the summer." Brittany says innocently.

"I want this image burned into your mind. This is what the difference between first and twelfth place looks like. It’s also what it feels like." Mr. Schue says to us.

"Are you planning on bumming us out all year long?" Puck asks and sit down.

"No. I’m planning on pushing you harder than you’ve ever been pushed. We made it to nationals last year. This year I’m not gonna let anything or anyone stop us from winning at all. I let you down last year. I lost focus, let some Broadway pipe dream get in the way." Mr. Schue says.

"And we’re really sorry that the guy who replaced you in April Rhodes’ musical won the Tony. I mean, I can only imagine your regret." Rachel says.

"Yeah, you know what I regret? Being the laughingstock of the show-choir world." Mercedes says.

"What I regret is, I'm back to be normal when the summer ends." I said to them.

"What did you do during summer?" Santana frowns at me.

"You know that I went to France and England because my dad got a job there. So he was busy having meeting with that client, this client, that chief executive blablabla. So I spent my days at hotel and go out alone. Until I went to Eiffel Tower and starred at it for about two hours or more each day. Some people there might think I was crazy and the fact I was." I sigh.

"And that’s saying something." Artie says.

"Mercedes has a point. Finn and Rachel’s 'the kiss that missed' already has twenty-thousand views on Youtube, and the comments section is just full of pithy banter like 'why is that T-Rex eating the Jew'?" Kurt says.

I cover my mouth and about to laugh. I wanna laugh out loud but I cant because Finn glares at me.

"How many times do we have to apologize for that?" Finn asks.

"Yeah, no more apologizing." Rachel says.

"The school hates us even more now." Mike says.

"Which is why we have to work even harder this year to recruit new members. We’re three men down." Mr. Schue says to us.

"Yeah, only because Puckerman couldn’t convince Zizes to stay." Santana says and look at Puck.

"She’s the one that got away - really, really slowly." Puck says.

"Where’s Quinn?" Tina asks.

"MIA. No-one’s heard from her. It’s sad, I miss her." Artie answer.

"She joinned the skanks. I saw her walk in the hallways with pink hair, terrible tshirt, and called me Crippled." I said to them.

"That's really mean." Sam frowns.

"No-one’s gonna join, Mr. Schue." Mercedes shakes her head.

"They will. All they need is a little inspiration…and I happen to have some, courtesy of Al Motta’s of Motta’s Pianos. Bring them in, guys. You guys are gonna love this." Mr. Schue says.

Three purple pianos bring into the choir room. I just raise my eyebrows and clapping a bit then walk to the front.

"Whoah, wow, okay. If there are purple pianos involved in this, I am on board." Kurt says as he walk to the front.

"These pianos were repossessed from foreclosed homes. They’re cast-offs, just like all of us. Used, in need of repairs…" Mr. Schue says.

"But they’re still capable of making beautiful music." Tina grins.

"Right. So Mr. Motta, as a lover of the arts, agreed to donate them to Glee. I fixed them up, painted them purple, and the Purple Piano Project was born. Now I’m going to be placing these grape-y uprights randomly throughout the school and whenever you see one, no matter what you’re doing, I want you to sing a song. Now use this assignment to attract kids who are just like you. Kids who can’t keep the music inside. Those are the kinds of additions that we need to win it all this year. Now for many of you, this is your last year. Let’s make it special." Mr. Schue says to us.

"I want bring this one to home but I already have another one." I said as I play the tone.

"Madison's true love is back." Finn simply said.

I turn my face at him and Finn suddenly turn his face at me and we start looking at each other. I turn my face away and go back play the tone. He is the only one who knows that I'm really in love with piano.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Quinn's back and you totally okay with that?" Sam asks me.

"And the fact she is back by being a worse person." I simply said and drink my latte.

Sam, Finn, Rachel, Kurt, Mercedes, and I are in Lima Bean and having our latte. I'm glad that Kurt and Mercedes want to join us so I dont have to see Rachel and Finn alone.

"I talked to her and she is totally changed." Rachel sighs.

"Now just think how could we got new member." Mercedes says.

"I will demo the glee club with my arts club. Arts never has rule and music is one of type of the arts." I said to them.

"Dont pretend like you're really smart." Finn simply said.

"Just shut up!" I throw a bag of sugar to him.

"You shut up, McKenzie!" Finn chuckles and throw that bag of sugar back at me.

"I think I got a new name for Mike Wazoski." I grin at Finn.

"Is it McKenzie?" Finn raises his eyebrows at me.

"No, it's Finn Hudson." I simply said.

"I miss McKenzie now. He must be already big." Finn says to me.

"Who is McKenzie?" Rachel frowns at us.

"Gabi's dog." Finn says innocently.

"Who's Gabi?" Rachel asks.

"She is our friend. We have a gang, there were me, Finn, Gabi, Josey, and Dean." I said to Rachel.

"And Gabi has a dog named McKenzie. And we have enemy and he was Jordan." Finn chuckles. "I miss them." Finn sighs.

"They are in US now. Gabi is in Chicago. Josey is in Baltimore, and Dean in Indianapolis." I said to Finn.

"Wait, those places are not really far from Lima. Maybe only to take 5 or 6 hours drive." Finn grins at me.

"And that's what I'm talking about." I grin back at him.

"Hold up, but how could you know that?" Finn raises his eyebrows at me.

"They keep emailing me since I moved until now. Not like you." I simply said.

"I told you many times that I thought you mad at me okay because that kind of thing." Finn says.

I kick his feet and glare at him. I dont want him to mention about that kind of thing anymore especially in front of his girlfriend and the others here.

"Well, it's almost evening. We should better go." Mercedes says to us.

The others stand up from their seat. "I want to take more latte, you can go first." I said to the others and walk back to counter.

"I want to!" Rachel says a bit louder and follow me to the counter. "What is that?" Rachel asks as I take a sugar from my bag.

"Low fat sugar." I simply said. "You want?" I raise my eyebrows.

"No, I dont need that one." Rachel shakes her head and hold her latte. "Are you and Finn planning to meet your old friends?" Rachel asks me.

"Yeah. Since they are in US and I'm curious with what they look right now." I giggle.

"Can I come with you guys?" Rachel giggles as we walk together and out from the Lima Bean.

"Y-yeah-yeah sure." I nodded. "They are easy going person and kind. Also...."

"Madison, watch out!!" Finn suddenly grabs my body to the corner and hold me really tight.

I just let out a sigh and see a car walk too fast and I almost get hit by that car if Finn didnt catch me.

"You okay, right? Glad, I got you." Finn hugged me.

Rachel's POV

"Can I come with you guys?" I giggle as we walk together and out from the Lima Bean.

I dont know why I feel uncomfortable when Madison and Finn are together. They're like kind of having chemistry together and I'm sure that before they separated, there must be something more than a 'friend'.

"Y-yeah-yeah sure." Madison nodded. "They are easy going person and kind. Also...."

"Madison, watch out!!" Finn suddenly grabs Madison's body and bring her to the corner.

I just move my step to backwards as a car walk too fast in front of me. We were stepping out together but the one that Finn called and safe was her not me.

"You okay?" Kurt comes to me.

"Yeah, I'm fine." I nodded.

I turn my face and I see Finn is hugging Madison and he really looked worried. I dont know what's wrong inside me but I just wanna cry right now.

I watched the scene likes this from many movies and it's always same between two girls and one guy. And the one that guy safe is the one that he loves more.

I know that Finn broke up with Quinn because Madison. Then I saw him defended her in New York when Jesse tried to picking on him but he got distracted to Madison's ex-boyfriend and he hit that guy for her meanwhile he didnt hit Jesse for me.

"Can you drive me home please?" I ask Kurt.

"Yeah come on." Kurt takes my hand and walk lead me to his car.

I turn my face once again and Finn even didnt notice that I was gone. He just keep comfort Madison with Sam and Mercedes. The truth is finally spoken now.

"You okay?" Kurt asks me as he is driving.

"I feel like Finn and I are getting further now." I said to Kurt. "When I had a party in my home, he didnt come and choose to had a camp with Madison. And now I can see that he loves her more than he loves me."

"Hate to tell you this but I found a song with title 'Dear, Madison' in Finn's iPod. It's only music instrumental but really beautiful and I guess Finn made it by himself." Kurt says to me.

Tears slowly fall down to my face and I'm crying. "I cant blame her. Because she was there since I wasnt there. I'm just curious about those paper in Finn's book rack. It was several years ago but he kept that and one last paper it wrotes that he likes her." I'm crying.

Kurt stop the car in the corner and give me tissue paper. "They've been know each other for their entire life, Rachel. If one day, Finn have to tell you the truth. You have to accept that. Carole once told me she might be Finn's first love and you know that first love is true love. Exist forever." Kurt rubs my back.

"I just dont know what to do right now." I'm sobbing.

"You better take a rest. Think about this again. Your dream. Your happiness." Kurt says to me.

"Thanks, Kurt." I'm sniffing.

"It's okay." Kurt half-smiled at me and start driving again.

I just turn my face to window. Shall I let Finn go? How come I could be happy with someone who doesnt love me and have his heart for someone else? This is really complicated.

~~~~

Finn's POV

"I'm home." I said and get into my house.

I place the key on the key box and walk upstairs to get into my room. Rachel left since she saw I safe Madison and I guess she mad at me right now.

I dont know it was kind of confusing. But my heart said that I have to get Madison and I just follow what my heart did.

I place my bag on the ground and open the curtain of my window. I look at my window and I see Madison and Sam are sitting down near the window and smiling at each other until they both share a kiss.

My heart hurts to see this. I close the curtain and lay my body on my bed. I safe her but now I saw her kiss another guy. I dont know but I guess my hearts know who is the one he wants.

I take Madison's book and open it. That paper is still there. I didnt give it to Rachel because this isnt for Rachel. It's for the owner of this book.

I just realized that my first love is back. Madison is my first love and my first kiss and I just realized all these feeling.

"Can I come?" Kurt open my door slowly.

"Sure." I nodded.

"What the hell with this dark room?" Kurt says and walk to the window.

"Dont..."

Kurt open the curtains and Madison and Sam are still there and laughing each other. I just turn my face away so I wont see that.

"Wow. Arent they cute together?" Kurt asks me.

"No." I simply said.

"Are you jealous, Finn?" Kurt raises his eyebrows at me and sit down on the edge of my bed.

"I wasnt." I shake my head.

"Wait, isnt this Madison's book?" Kurt takes that book from my hand quickly until that paper fall to the ground. "And what is this?"

"Book line." I simply said.

"I love you, ps: turn around." Kurt raises his eyebrows at me.

"If you wanna disturb me. You better go." I take that book and that paper from Kurt's hand quickly.

"Is it for the one who is with her boyfriend over there?" Kurt asks me and points to the window.

"They're not dating." I simply said.

"Finn, I know you love her. You cant lie because the way you look at her is different now. Rachel told me that you are getting further now. And that tragedy in front of Lima Bean, already proof that you love Madison more than her. I'm your step-brother. Talk." Kurt says to me.

I didnt say anything but looking at this paper. If I can decided and realized this feeling at first maybe I wont hurt anyone else but now I made Rachel as my substitute for Madison and they both are totally different.

"Silent mean yes. You're not denying what I said." Kurt says.

"It just came too late. I realized it when we had a camp together where we spent a night together like what we did seven years ago. Talked to each other, ate snacks, comforting each other, until I got a chance to kiss her but I blew it." I said to Kurt. "She made me love myself. She accepted me for the way I am. She never made me choose or make an option. With her, I can be anything I want and she knows me better than myself. When she was about to leave me, I kissed her and told her that I love her. I dont know what does mean but now I know it. I meant what I said."

"Made your own decisions. The myth said that your first love can be your one true love. You changed to be wiser nowadays except for the kissed. I trust you." Kurt smiles at me and stand up from his seat.

"That song was for her. I showed her one night before and asked her to sing duet with me but she thinks that was for Rachel so she refused and went out with Sam. Maybe I was kind of jealous that night so I asked Rachel out." I said to Kurt.

"Thanks for telling me the truth. It feel clear right? I know you hold it alone, Finn. And dont worry I wont tell anyone else." Kurt smiles at me and walk off.

I let out a sigh and turn my face to the window. Sam already gone and there is only Madison who sit down there and reading her book.

I walk to my sofa and sit down there while looking at this paper and this book. Yeah I just realized this feeling when we had camp together. Now I dont know what to do.

Madison's POV

"Now I want to ask you a question." Sam says to me as he sit down in front of me.

"What?" I raise my eyebrows.

"I'll ask it tomorrow maybe. I need to go home and take extra lesson." Sam giggles.

"I hate you." I roll my eyes.

"Haha sorry. See you tomorrow, Maddy." Sam takes his bag and walk off.

"Bye!" I shout.

"I'm forget something." Sam walks back again.

"What is that?" I ask and look around.

"This." Sam give me a quick kiss on my lips then run off.

No. We are still not dating. I cant even decided I want to say yes to Sam or not. I just cant get someone out of my mind and it's Finn.

I take my book and start reading it while looking at the window. Finn is sitting down on his sofa and reading something.

It feels different when I was with another guy and Finn. Like the way they treated me and the way they kissed me. Especially today. When Finn safe me from that car and he ignore Rachel.

I'm afraid that Rachel would slap my face tomorrow because of this. But I can see Finn chooses me over Rachel and I dont know how.

I just cant hide this feeling anymore. I really cant get him out of my mind. He made me being myself and he knows me better than anyone else and I just realized this feeling when we have a camp together.

Until I spent my summer with Sam and went to Europe alone. I cant get Finn out of my mind. I always compare him with another guy and I'm still thinking about him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm standing in front of my locker and take my book from my bag and put it into my locker.

I turn around and I see Finn and Rachel are walking together and talking. I let out a sigh and turn my face back to my locker until my phone is vibrating.

Sam texts me and said that he wanna meet me. I guess I should give him a chance. Besides that Finn will always be with Rachel and he is just my bestfriend. No changes.

I shut my locker and take my ransel then start walking to science classroom. Sam is sitting down on a table in science classroom and seems like he's been waiting for me.

"You want to see me?" I walk in enter that classroom.

"Yeah. Yesterday I told you that I have something to talk and I want to tell you something." Sam says to me.

I sit down on a table in front of him and raise my eyebrows. "What is that?"

"We've been know each other for about four months. I dont even remember how many times I told you that I like you. And now, just be quiet and no interuption." Sam says.

"Okay." I chuckle.

"I think I love you, Madison. We-we had summer fling and for me it was more than a summer fling. I might not be a quarterback anymore and I cant promise you about popularity. I just want to make you happy. I want to make you feel proud when you see me walk down in the hall and say 'that dude's my boyfriend'. That's it. I was bad in relationship according to my last two relationship didnt end up well. So, I want to have an actual relationship with you." Sam smiles at me.

"First of all, I like your arms." I chuckle. "And are you sure about this?" I raise my eyebrows.

"I'm sure. 100% sure." Sam says.

"Well, I've been thinking that everyone deserves a chance so maybe I will give you a chance besides you're cute and pretty amazing. But you have to know that I'm kinda moody with PDA so make sure before I kill you, dont have a PDA with me and you can make it with another girl if you want but without guarantee you can survive the other days." I chuckle.

"So is that a yes?" Sam raises his eyebrows at me.

"Yes." I nodded.

"Can I kiss you now?" Sam chuckles.

"Depends if there is anyone else or crowd or..."

"There is only two of here, baby." Sam smirks at me and pull his face closer to me and kisses me softly.

It always feel different when another guy kissed me. So much different than what Finn did. But what else I can do? He is still with Rachel and I need to survive.

"I'm hungry." I said to Sam.

"Well, lets have lunch. I know you miss tots." Sam takes my hand and walk lead me.

"How could you know that I love tots?" I raise my eyebrows.

"Finn told me." Sam simply said.

I didnt say anything. Is there anything else that Finn know about me? He knows me really well even better than myself. And that's the thing that make me cant get through that.

I take my food tray and take much tots and some chips also a glass of juice and then walk to the table where the others already sat down include Finn.

"Tots!" I grin happily.

"Why are you guys ignoring Mr. Schuester’s assignment?" Rachel come to us and ask us.

"Wait, there’s a purple piano in here?" Finn frowns.

"Wow, how did any of us miss that?" Mercedes says.

"We have to do the number, okay?" Rachel says to us.

"We have to survive lunch. It’s not fair that Mr. Schue put the piano in here. It’s too much pressure." Artie says.

"Agree. I dont wanna miss my tots." I shake my head.

"I will tell my mom to make you some, babe." Sam says to me.

"Babbbb....eee." Finn suddenly get choked.

I turn my face at him and frown. I hand him my glass as he sit down right in front of me.

"Thanks." Finn simply said.

"I agree with Artie. That is like wearing a red dress to a bullfight." Kurt says.

"The point of the assignment was to find people who couldn’t help but join, okay? The more people that we sing in front of, the more chances we have of getting one, okay? It’s simple mathematics." Rachel says to us.

"Which I stopped attending years ago." Puck simply said.

"No, no. Hold on. Rachel’s right. How’s anyone supposed to believe we can go to Nationals if we don’t even believe in ourselves." Finn says to us.

"Thank you." Rachel grins at Finn.

I just eat my tots and being quiet. I dont like to see this. The romance between Finn and Rachel in front of me. But what am I supposed to do? I'm dating Sam and Finn will always be my childhood friend.

The music suddenly begin. I let out a sigh and Tina takes my hand and start dancing with the others.

Rachel:

The song ended and no claps, no cheering. Only starred at us. Becky stand up from her seat and throw a sluhie to Rachel until another girl throw spaghetti to Puck.

"Oh god, No!" Puck says.

"Food Fight!" Jacob Ben Israel yelled.

I dont know what to do. They throw the food at us and we have a food fight. Finn suddenly takes my hand and hide me behind his back to protect me.

~~~~

Now we are in choir room. Mr. Schue is cleaning the piano from those food. I just sit down next to Sam and I got mustard on my cheek and salad on my hair.

"I thought slushies were bad, but spaghetti sauce in the eye is so much worse." Artie says as he push his wheelchair.

"I have pepperoni in my bra." Brittany says innocently.

"Those are your nipples." Santana says.

"I lost my tots!" I whimpered.

"Mr. Schue, if you are trying to break us down to rebuild us, it’s working." Mike says.

"Not one single person was inspired by our hot lunch jam to try out, Mr. Schue." Mercedes says.

"This is disaster. I even have ketchup on my face." Sam says.

Suddenly a blonde girl walks in. "It’s true. You guys sucked ass." She said to us.

"I’m sorry, and you are?" Rachel frowns at her.

"I’m Sugar Motta, and I have self-diagnosed Aspergers so i can pretty much say whatever I want. I’m like a diplomat’s daughter." She said to us.

"How can we help you, Sugar?" Mr. Schue says to her.

"Here’s the deal. I’m awesome, and I want to be a big, big star. And when I saw you guys singing and dancing in the cafeteria, I thought, 'I am so much better than you'. Sorry, Aspergers." Sugar says to us.

"Well, great! You see guys, you have inspired an audition. Good job! Sugar, why don’t you show us what you can do. Take your time, whenever you’re ready." Mr. Schue grins at us and sit down on the front of row.

"Sugar Motta. Why does that name sound familiar?" Kurt asks quietly.

"Oh, her Dad is the rich dude that donated the purple pianos." Mercedes answer.

"Get ready to taste some sweet ear candy." Sugar says. "Hit it, hottie." Sugar says to Brad.

Brad start playing the piano and Sugar start singing Big Spender with her moves. And she is really tone deaf. I almost laugh out loud when I heard she sing.

"Her ears should get to park in the handicapped spot." Artie mumbles.

"Holy…shhhh-ugar!" Mr. Schue clapping.

"Text me, RE: the rehearsal sched." Sugar says and about to walk off.

"Of course." Mr. Schue says with his poker face.

"Mr. Schue, stop speaking. Okay, uh Sugar - we’ll be in touch. Thank you. Bye." Rachel says and Sugar left the room. "Okay I think I speak for everyone when I say 'never gonna happen'."

"Guys, I know she was…a little rough, but we have always had the policy that everyone who tries out gets in." Mr. Schue says to us.

"You’re not doing her any good sheltering Sugar from the truth, okay? High school is where you learn it’s survival of the fittest. She’s gonna drag the New Directions down, and that’s not fair for those of us who don’t want to spend our lives rotting in this insignificant town. You said the other day that you would do anything to get us to Nationals, okay? And she is gonna keep us from winning that elusive crown. If anything, she is gonna kill all of our chances." Rachel says to Mr. Schue.

"So true." I nodded as agree.

The bell rings.

Sam takes my hand and walk lead me to out from this choir room. I just wanna go home and take a buble bath to clean up myself.
