Childhood Friendship (Glee Fanfiction)

Chapter 34

"Dad, I'm home!" I shout and get into my house.

I look around to find my dad. His car is outside and the front door is unlocked so he must be already home.

I keep walking and I see the backdoor is open. Maybe my dad is in the backyard and cleaning something. Mikey suddenly run to me and lick my feet. I lift him up and hold him then walk to the backyard.

"Mike, there is a new mom at school and she just divorced. She is beautiful and kinda hot one." Finn's mom says to dad.

"Wow cool. Then?" Dad chuckles.

"You want me to set you up on a date with her?" Finn's mom asks excitedly.

"I'm not interesting with that, Carole." Dad chuckles and shakes his head.

"Always be like that." I roll my eyes.

Dad turn his face at me and chuckles. "Hey, my baby girl is home."

"Hey, honey. I dont hear Finn's voice." Finn's mom smiles at me.

"Oh Finn said that he still have football so I took a cab to get home." I giggle. "Mrs. Hummel do you have any tots?"

"I did. You want? Come in." She smiles at me.

"Maddy... no." Dad shakes his head.

"Oh it's okay. The boys also love that. Come in." Finn's mom says and open her beckyard fence.

"Bye bye daddy." I grin at my dad and place Mikey on the ground and walk to Finn's backyard.

"Just stop make tots, Carole. Or she cant stop ask you to make one." Dad says.

"That's okay. My boys love that." Finn's mom chuckles and get into her house.

I laugh and get into Finn's house from the back door. "So what is this new mom looks like?" I ask Finn's mom.

"She is 44th and just divorced. Why, honey?" Finn's mom takes a box from the cupboard as I sit down on the mini bar table.

"So it means she already have kids right." I sigh.

"Wait, what happened?" Finn's mom frowns at me and shows me a box with tots inside.

"I was thinking that if I go to New York, my dad will be alone. I asked him to move to New York with me but he doesnt want to. I worry if I leave him alone then who will take him care? So I've been planning to set him on a date with woman aged 40 or more or at the same age with him but didnt have any child." I said to her.

"Why must be without a child?"

"Because I dont want my dad share his love to another child. I just want to be his only one daughter for the rest of our lives. So a woman without a child. Beside that I watched movie that not all step-siblings are nice. I meant, look at Finn and Kurt, they still fight at each other and to be honest I dont want to have step-mother since I watched movie about step-mother and they dangerous." I said.

"But I'm not. I treat Finn and Kurt same. I love them both." Finn's mom chuckles.

"You're one in a million, Mrs. Hummel. I just dont know what to do." I let out a sigh.

"What if you find a step-mother like me?" Finn's mom asks me.

"It will be good but I dont want you to marry my dad because if that happen, I will be step-siblings with Finn and I cant marry him. No. I wont let that happen." I shake my head.

"Honey, it's hard to persuade your dad. You know that since you were little I always tried to set him on a date but the things he always said 'I'm not interest with that, Carole'. Always." Finn's mom says to me.

"But he cant substitute me for a wife forever." I said sadly.

"He doesnt want to replace you. Not substitute you. I've been friend with your dad since you moved to Montreal. I know how much he loves you." Finn's mom smiles at me.

"Do you ever be in love with him?" I giggle.

"No. Just like best friend."

"Finn and I were best friend but we are in love now." I chuckle.

"That's different, honey." Finn's mom rubs my hair.

"Mom, I'm home." Finn's voice.

"Hey, honey, I though you'd be overlate." Finn's mom says to him.

"What are you doing here?" Finn frowns at me.

"Stealing your tots. You said that you had football." I said to Finn.

"Yeah but coach Beiste make it quick and I can go home ealier." Finn says and sit down next to me. "Seems like you both were gossiping about something."

"Yeah I was about to set Mike with a date. There is a hot, beautiful mom just got divorced. But you know that he refused it already. And Maddy curious with that mom." Finn's mom chuckle.

"You still want to set your dad with a date?" Finn frowns at me.

"I dont know. I'm confused." I shrug.

"If I were your dad. I also want to refuse that. Those date for what? If I already have one amazing daughter in my life. Who bright up my days and my happiness." Finn smiles at me.

"That's sweet." I smile shyly at him.

"Okay, okay cameo is here." Finn's mom chuckles.

"Mom, I bet dad or Burt ever said the same things to you." Finn says.

"Well, I guess I will call my grandma to move here. So my dad wont be alone." I grin at them.

"That's a great idea, honey." Finn's mom smiles at me.

"Totally." Finn nodded as agree.

I just grin at them and eating the tots. Yes. I will tell my dad that I'm gonna call grandma Anne to move out with us here in Lima.

Dinner Time

"Here, let me help you." I said to dad and take the plate and place it on the dining table.

"That's my daughter." Dad rubs my hair then sit down on the dining table.

I just grin and sit down on the dining table opposite of my dad. I take the food and place it on my plate then pour the water to my glass also my dad's.

"Dad, can I call grandma Anne to come here?" I ask dad.

"Yeah sure. She maybe want to stay for couple weeks." Dad nodded. "You miss her? She just called me this morning."

"I want to ask her to move here with us." I grin at dad.

"What? For what, honey?" Dad frowns at me.

"I though that you'll be alone when I go to college and you dont want to have a wife so call Nana to move here is the best idea I think. She is your mom." I frown.

"Just because she is my mom doesnt mean she has to stay here. No, honey." Dad shakes his head.

"But you need a life partner when I go to college. I dont want you to live alone here, dad." I said to dad.

"You know what? My mood for eating is gone now. Because I though you wont talk about this anymore." Dad says to me and leave the dining table then walk upstairs.

I dont understand why dad is so afraid to start a new thing in his life. I just want him to be happy and not alone.

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

I'm sitting down on the top of the piano in choir room and let my head down. My dad is still mad at me and I dont know what to do.

"Hey, you okay?" Finn asks me.

"My dad still mad at me so I called my grandma to come to Lima and I send her flight ticket from Manchester to Lima." I said to Finn.

"Babe, no offense but isnt that thing will make your dad more mad at you?" Finn frowns at me.

"I didnt know what to do. I want him to be happy. That's it." I sigh.

"I wonder if I had a daughter like you." Finn grins at me.

"You cant have a daughter like me because I'll be the mother of your children soon." I smirk ar Finn.

"You're not pregnant right?" Finn asks innocently.

"Of course not." I roll my eyes.

"Great then." Finn chuckles.

I chuckle and still sitting down on the piano. Finn turn his body around and standing in front of me. I just put my hands around his shoulder and waiting for Mr. Schue come.

"Guys, Madame Tibideaux will come here for the NYADA auditions." Rachel says excitedly.

"Why she come here?" Mercedes asks.

"Oh my dads got the connection so he can send Carmen Tibideaux here. So let's prepare for the biggest audition ever. You guys have to watch and see how I impress her and I will get into NYADA." Rachel grins at us.

Nobody answer her. She just look excited but the other only listen to her once then go back busy with their stuff and anything.

"Guys, senior prom is coming over. Our proposal already accepted." Kurt says excitedly and walks in.

"That's great. I can go to the mall for shopping this Saturday." I grin happily.

"We can go out on Saturday." Finn says.

"But I want to go out with my dad so I can ask him to buy me everything I want." I giggle.

"Alright guys, so nationals is coming over and glad to Mr. Collins want to donate some music instrumental for our glee club from Sony Music." Mr. Schue walks in and says excitedly to us.

"He did?" I frown and turn my face.

"Oh my gosh." Mercedes gasped.

Some music instrumental like drum, guitar, bass, even a mini piano and others bring into our choir room and replace the old music instrumental.

"Wait, my dad really did this?" I ask Mr. Schue.

"You didnt know about this?" Kurt asks me.

"Well, we didnt talk since last night because he mad at me. So...." I said nervously.

"Cant thank you enough, Madison. Tell your father that this is more than enough to help us win nationals." Mr. Schue smiles at me.

"It's okay Mr. Schue." I half-smiled at Mr. Schue.

"Well everyone, we got new music instrumental and I really expected that by this it will make you guys more motivate to win nationals." Mr. Schue says to us.

The others start cheering and applauding happily. I dont know what is this. My dad didnt say anything. Well, I know he still mad at me since last night. Even this morning we had breakfast together without saying a word. Not even a word.

~~~~~~~~~

"You okay? You just been quiet all day." Finn says to me.

"Can we go to somewhere? I dont feel like I wanna go home by now." I turn my face to the street.

"Dont be sad, my princess." Finn rubs my hair then hold my hand.

I just being quiet. I shouldnt say that things to my dad last night or I shouldnt call my Nana or send her flight ticket from Manchester to Lima. This is so wrong.

"Everything is gonna be fine." Finn rubs my hair and make my head lean on his shoulder.

"What am I gonna say to my dad if my nana really come?" I let out a sigh.

"Just calm down okay." Finn says to me.

"But sometimes she can be worse like tell my dad to do this and that and....I feel guilty now." I'm sobbing.

"Babe, calm down..." Finn rubs my hair and kisses my head.

I just lean my head on his chest and start crying. Finn stops his car. I turn my face and he stop his car in the middle of mini forest.

"You want to kill me here?" I ask Finn.

"Of course not. Come on I'll show you a place to make yourself feel better." Finn went out from his car.

I just raise my eyebrows until he open the passenger seat door for me and shows me his hand. I take his hand and went out from his car.

Finn holds my hand and start walking. I just look around and I dont know that there is a mini forest in Lima like this.

"Where are we going to?" I ask Finn.

"My favorite place when I'm sad and I cant tell anyone else not even my mom." Finn says to me.

I keep following him walk in until he stops his way near the big rock and he sit down on that big rock. He hold my hands until I got into that big rock and sit down here.

"You can cry out loud if you want but after that you have to stop it." Finn says to me.

Tears fall down to my face and I'm start to crying. Finn grabs my body and hug me and comfort me. I'm really regret with everything I have done.

"It's okay. Just cry out loud but promise me after that you will stop. I dont wanna see you sad." Finn rubs my hair.

I push his body away slowly and wipe my tears away. "I'm gonna talk to my dad tonight." I'm sobbing.

"Yes you should. Listen, I love you and I wont let you down alone." Finn put his hand around my shoulder.

"I love you too." I turn my face at him.

"Just stop crying, baby." Finn wipe my tears away.

I rub his cheek and look into his eyes deeply until Finn push his face closer to me and kisses me softly while cupping my cheek. We pull our lips away and smiling at each other.

"Feeling better now?" Finn asks me.

"Yeah a bit better. Thank you so much, my quarterback." I kiss his cheek.

"That's what a boyfriend should do." Finn smiles at me.

"How could you find this place? We can have a camp here one day." I said to him.

"You want? We can. I found this place when the first time I moved to Lima." Finn says to me and stand up from his seat. "Come on, it's almost evening and the sun almost down."

"Lift me up on your back like you usually did when we both were little." I said to Finn.

"Okay." Finn shows me his back. I jump to his back and cross my arm around his neck and he hold my legs. "Like when you fell down from a bike."

"Thanks for make me feel better, Finn. And maybe we can cuddle and study together in my room and eat tots." I said to Finn.

"Anything you want, princess." Finn chuckles.

I just chuckle and pull me closer to him. I'm so glad to have Finn in my life. He is the best thing in my life. My boyfriend extra bestfriend.

I press the doorknob of my house and get in. "Dad, I'm home!" I shout.

"Maddy!" Nana suddenly come to me and hug me.

I look at my dad and he just give me his poker face. Right, my grandma really came and I bet that my dad didnt want to talk to me anymore.

"How are you, Nana?" I giggle.

"I'm great. Wait, where is your British accent? It's gone now? Ugh it must be because you guys stay in America too long." Nana says to us.

"Sometimes some people here doesnt understand what we talking about, mom." Dad says.

"This is the reason why I cant live in America." Nana simply said.

"Well, I'm gotta get change." I giggle and walk upstairs.

This is worse. My dad must be really mad at me right now. I didnt know that she really came. Ugh God. I walk to my wardrobe and change my clothes into short denim pants and sweatshirt. I walk to my bed then sit down on my bed. I wanna cry again right now.

"Can I talk to you?" Dad walks into my room.

"Dad, I'm so sorry. I dont mean to do this. I was mad so I called her and she said she wanna come so I send her flight ticket." I said to dad.

"You know the risk when she is here right? She is my mom but sometimes she become criticize." Dad frowns at me.

"I know, I know. I'm sorry. I didnt know she really come. We can just call uncle Matthew and let Nana back to Manchester." I said.

"Too late. She already here, Maddy." Dad sighs.

"Mike!!" Nana shouts.

"Coming, mom!" Dad shouts back.

"Oh this is the girl room? You decorate the room like you had a baby girl, not a teenage girl." Nana walks in and look around.

"I decorated this for Madison. To make her feel comfortable in her room." Dad says to Nana.

Nana just look around and checking out my stuff until she walk enter the bathroom and my wardrobe. "What is this? Too much jeans and boots." Nana shouts from the wardrobe.

"You see?" Dad raises his eyebrows at me.

"I'm sorry." I said sadly.

"Well, I'm gonna cook for dinner. I bet you guys are rarely to eat health food." Nana says and walk to my bedroom door as dad follow her.

Dad just turn his face at me and close the door. I let out a sigh and lay my body on my bed. This is will be a nightmare.

I stand up from my bed and went out from my room then walk downstairs. I walk to the kitchen and take my potato chips from the cupboard then walk to the living room and sit down on the sofa with Mikey sit down next to me.

I place the chips on the table in front of me then take Mikey and place him on my lap while we are watching tv together.

"Dad, did you already give Mikey food?" I ask.

"I did, honey." Dad answer.

"No chips. It's unhealth." Nana suddenly take my chips away.

"But daddy let me to have one bag for two days. Besides we loves eat that when we both watch movie together." I said to Nana.

"For now, no more." Nana shakes her head and bring my chips away.

I let out a sigh and lay my body on the sofa and looking at Mikey. Nana is totally different when she is Manchester and America.

Suddenly the door bell rings it must be Finn. "Come in, Finn." I simply said.

"You know it's me." Finn walks in and giggle. "Hey Mikey!" Finn rubs Mikey then left a kiss on my lips.

"Hmmmm."

I sit up on the sofa and Finn just raise his eyebrows. "Who is he?" Nana asks and points at Finn.

"He is Finn Hudson my boyfriend also my neighboor. We lived in Montreal since we both little. I ever told you about him. Remember that, nana?" I giggle.

"No. I didnt remember that." Nana shakes her head.

"I'm Finn Hudson. Nice to meet you, Mrs. Collins." Finn smiles at Nana.

"And you both are going to have a date this evening?" Nana frowns at us.

"No. It's just..." I got cut off

"Madison and Finn study everyday together, mom. Either here or next door in Finn's house." Dad says to Nana.

"Oh I see." Nana nodded.

"Okay come on, Finn." I take Finn's hand and walk lead him about to go to upstairs.

"Where are you both going to?" Nana asks us.

"My room. Study." I answer.

"No no no. You cant concentrate to study together in your room, sweetie. So you better study in living room." Nana says to us.

"Okay." I simply nodded and walk back to living room.

"She is the worst, babe." Finn says quietly.

"She is totally different when she is in Manchester and here. I wanna die." I sigh and lean my head on Finn's shoulder.

"Maybe we can study in my room." Finn says to me.

"I bet she wont let us. She is just like another old British lady. We better study now or she mad at us." I said to Finn and open his book.

"Everything will be fine okay." Finn rubs my hair.

This is sucks. Really sucks. I cant even cuddle with Finn when we usually do. My dad always let both study in my room because he trust Finn and I wont do anything but this time I cant do that.

~~~~

I went out from my room and holding my pillow and my barney doll. I walk to dad's room and press the door knob.

"Can I sleep with you, dad?" I open the door.

"Sure. Come here." Dad nodded.

He just sitting down on his bed and watching tv. I walk to his room and sit down on his bed next to him.

"Nana want to sleep with you?" Dad asks me.

"No. It just I cant sleep." I shake my head.

"Okay just sleep here with me." Dad says and move his body to leave space for me.

I lay my body on his ned next to him while dad is still sitting down on the bed with his back against the wall. I pull the blanket to cover my body and hug my doll then dad rubs my hair.

"You still mad at me?" I ask dad.

"No, I didnt. Why you ask me that?" Dad turn his face at me.

"I'm sorry. I shouldnt call nana to come here and send her flight ticket. I though it would be a great start for you to live with her but now I saw how much she pressure you. I'm really sorry, dad. I will stop tell you that you need a new homemate or something okay." I said to dad. "But I'm just curious why you never want to get married? Or when someone want to set you up on a date, you always refused that. I'm afraid that you become gay now."

"Are you become homophobic now?" Dad chuckles. "No. I'm not gay. I'm still straight. It's just I closed my heart." Dad says.

"Why?" I raise my eyebrows.

"Honey, you dont understand because you are still young. I never want to fall in love again because I got hurt when I was in love. Your mom and I were dating about four years even we lived together until she told me that she was pregnant and I was really happy because I believe that she could be a great mother for you, you know. She was the most amazing woman that I've ever met. Date about four years was the longest relationship I ever made. Until the day you born and I looked how she cared about you. Last night before she left us, I proposed her to marry me because I though it was a great time to built a family and we had a baby girl. She just said she need times until the next day she gone. Without saying goodbye or anything. Nobody knows where she gone. She left us when I was really in love with her and it was like she brough me into the darkest and deepest place. Since that day I never want to fall in love again. So I close my heart and I give all my love and my attention to you. That's it." Dad says to me.

"And you just tell me now?" I raise my eyebrows.

"Because I think it's old enough for you to understand my reason." Dad says.

"I'm sorry, dad. We can call uncle Matthew and send Nana back to Manchester okay." I grin at dad. "We can string her feet and her hands then cover her eyes and bring her to the airport."

"You were the one who called her so you should be the one who do that." Dad chuckles.

"What about do it together?" I grin.

"No. She is my mom, no matter what. We just need to be patient. She said that she only want to stay for a week." Dad says to me.

"Oh great. Can we go to the mall this Saturday? Because I'm going to buy prom stuff." I giggle.

"Yes, princess." Dad rubs my hair.

"And thanks for those new music instrumental. I was surprised." I chuckle.

"That's okay. Just want to help you guys and motivate you guys. Besides I'm not of the director so that's fine." Dad says. "Now just sleep. You still have school tomorrow." Dad rubs my hair.

"Parents and teacher meeting tomorrow at 2pm in my school. Dont forget to come. Good night, dad." I close my eyes and hug my pillow.

"Good night, my princess." Dad keep rubs my hair.

I close my eyes and comfort my body. This is the things that I usually do when I cant sleep. I would come to my dad's room and sleep next to him. Sounds spoilt but it's me and when I move to New York, I'll have to learn to live away from my dad.
