I walk in the hallways and everyone looked at me with weird face. Yes this is weird. I went to school wearing a pajama pants, a tshirt, and a cardigan for the outer of my tshirt.
I'm mad. My nana banned me to wear jeans to go to school and she said it's innapropriate for a girl to go to school wearing jeans.
I walk to choir room and with my head down. This is sucks literally. I'm sucks because of this.
"Who the hell are you?" Brittany asks me.
"Babe, you okay?" Finn frowns at me.
"My grandma is suck! She banned me to go to school wearing my jeans and my boots." I groan.
"You were the one who called her to come to US." Finn says innocently.
"Yes and I regret it now. I wish I could package her back to England." I let out a sigh.
"It's okay. Everything will be fine." Finn says with accent.
I frown at him and walk to my seat. "You said that with British accent." I said to Finn.
"I learnt that from Rory. Your grandma doesnt let me to come to your house if I cant speak with accent." Finn grins at me.
"That's weird." I frown.
"Everyone, you might wanna come to auditorium right now to see my performance in front of Carmen Tibideaux how she impress my talent." Rachel walks into choir room and grins at us.
"The audition is today?" I ask Finn.
"Yeah Kurt is getting ready with Blaine." Finn nodded.
"Come on let's see my own show!" Rachel grins at us then walk off.
"Well, I want to see how she blow that audition." Santana simply said and walk out from the choir room.
The others one by one walk out from the choir room. I turn my face at Finn and he takes my hand. "Let's support Kurt." Finn smiles at me and walk lead me.
"Kurt or Rachel?" I raise my eyebrows.
"Maddy, stop it." Finn rolls his eyes.
"Just kidding okay." I giggle.
"You turn me on when you're jealous." Finn smirks at me.
"That's totally disgusting." I laugh.
"We can make out after this if you want." Finn smirks at me.
"Oh I want to." I smirk back at him.
Finn just laughs and keep holding my hand until we enter the auditorium with the others sitting down to see Kurt and Rachel audition.
"Where is Puck?" Finn look around.
"I dont see him since this morning." I simply said.
"He is gone. He failed the European Geography test and he insist that he wont graduating high school. I'm concern about him. He is my best friend." Finn says to me.
"You need to help him. That's what a bestfriend should do." I smile at Finn.
"You're right." Finn smiles back at me.
I just smile and lean my head on his shoulder as Finn holding my hand.
"Kurt Hummel." Carmen Tibideaux called Kurt.
Kurt went out from the backstage and ready with his costume for the audition.
"Hello. I'm Kurt Hummel, and I'll be performing Music of the Night from the seminal Phantom of the Opera by Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber. Which I bet you hear a lot of. That song." Kurt says nervously.
"That, The Impossible Dream from La Mancha and Being Alive from Company, yes. It's a safe and standard choice." Carmen Tibideaux says.
"Which is why I've decided to change things up a bit. Here, in the 11th hour, I've decided to go in a different direction. Something that's a little more out there, but much more me. Not the Boy Next Door, from the Peter Allen bio-musical, The Boy from Oz." Kurt smiles at her. "Ladies?" Kurt called until Brittany, Tina,and Mercedes ready to be his backup singer. "I had my swans on standby." Kurt giggles and nodded to the band.
Kurt:
Comin' home used to feel so good
I'm a stranger now in my neighborhood
I've seen the world at a faster pace
And I'm comin' now from a diff'rent place
Though I may look the same way to you
Underneath there is somebody new
I am not the boy next door
I don't belong like I did before
Nothin' ever seems like it used to be
You can have your dreams, but you can't have me
Oh, I can't come back there anymore
'Cause I am not the boy next door
You've been savin' those souvenirs,
Faded photographs from our foolish years
We made plans, but they're wearin' thin
And they don't work out 'cause I don't fit in
And those mem'ries will just weigh me down
'Cause I got no place to keep 'em uptown
I am not (Brittany, Mercedes and Tina: do do) the boy next door (Brittany, Mercedes and Tina: do do)
I don't belong (Brittany, Mercedes and Tina: do do) like I did before
Nothin' ever seems like it used to be
You can have your dreams, but you can't have me
Kurt with Brittany, Mercedes and Tina:
Oh, I can't go back there anymore
'Cause I am not the boy next door
Kurt (Brittany, Mercedes and Tina):
I'm not sorry for just bein' me
But if you'd look past the past you could see
That I am not
(You are not)
(The boy next door)
(You don't belong)
Kurt:
Nothin' ever seems like it used to be
You can have your dreams, oh, but you can't have me
Kurt with Brittany, Mercedes and Tina:
I can't go back there anymore
'Cause I am not (Brittany, Mercedes and Tina: You are not)
I am not (Brittany, Mercedes and Tina: You are not)
I am not the boy next door
Kurt really made a great performance and it was really impressed all of people here.
"You know, Hugh Jackman won a Tony Award for playing Peter Allen. Hugh trained with me the summer I was in residence at the Sydney Opera House, and I'm certain that he would have been as impressed with what you did with that song as I am. A bold choice, young man.
I congratulate you for taking such a risk today." Carmen Tibideaux smiles at Kurt.
I'm clapping a bit and smile at Kurt. "Thank you." Kurt grins happily and walk off from the stage.
"Rachel Berry." Carmen Tibideaux called Rachel.
Rachel went out from the backstage and standing on the stage. "Hi. I'm Rachel Berry, and I'll be singing "Don't Rain on My Parade" from my favorite musical, Funny Girl."
"I can sing this song while sleeping with another different music instrumental." Santana rolls her eyes.
"Sssshhhh." Mike put a finger in front of his mouth.
The music begin and Rachel start singing and make her moves. Until at the some parts she forget the lyrics and the music stops.
"I'm so sorry. I'm so, so, so sorry. Please, let me just start over one more time. I'm sorry.
Please just start over again one more time." Rachel says and turn her face to the band.
She start singing again. It was a fatal when someone sing a song and forget the lyrics. Totally a disaster.
Rachel go back to singing her song until she suddenly choke. Everyone in this room gasped include her.
"Oh, God. This isn't happening." Kurt mumbled.
"I'm-I'm so sorry. I don't know I know this song backwards. I know this. Okay. Please, let me just do it one more time. I can start it over one more time." Rachel says and turn her face back to the band.
"No." Carmen Tibideaux simply said.
"Excuse me?" Rachel frowns.
"You get eight bars. I gave you 16. Do you know what happens when you forget the words on Broadway? They give the job to your understudy. I'm very sorry, but this audition is over." Carmen Tibideaux says and stand up from her seat.
"No, please please, please, please. You have to believe me. You just have to please just give me one more chance, please. Please.
Please." Rachel's crying on the stage.
Carmen Tibideaux just take her bag then went out from the auditorium. She failed her own audition. That was totally disaster.
"Come on. We can go home." Finn takes my hand and walk lead me.
Everyone leave the auditorium one by one. Leave Rachel alone who crying on the stage because she blew her audition. I feel bad for her but that's suddenly happened.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"She choked during her NYADA audition. At first she forgot the lyric and second she choked." I said to dad while helping him prepare the dinner.
"That was a huge mistake. Who was the judges?" Dad asks me.
"Carmen Tibideaux." I simply said.
"Carmen Tibideaux is NYADA legend. I met her once when she perform on Broadway. I bet she wont get in." Dad says to me.
"Really?" I raise my eyebrows.
"She is dangerous, honey. She is hardly to give someone second chance. I'm so glad that you didnt want to get into NYADA." Dad chuckles.
"No. I want to be hollywood director not broadway director." I chuckle.
"So what University you are going to enter?" Nana asks me.
"It's Pace University in New York, mom. She aint got the scholarship but that's okay, I can afford that. At least she got what she want and to get into Pace was hard." Dad answer.
"What major are you in?" Nana asks me.
"It's Film and Theater Directing, nana." I giggle.
"You want to be a director? Be a lawyer, sweetie. Get a real job. Have a bright future and stop working with the arts." Nana says.
"But dad work as a music producer. He donate new music instrumentals to my school." I frown at nana.
"Honey, you better do your homework and I'll call you when the dinner's ready okay." Dad says to me.
"Okay." I wash my hand and turn my way to the stairs and walk upstairs.
"Mom, please just let Madison do anything she want to do!" Dad says to nana.
I'm sitting down on the ground in front of my room. They must be fight because of me. But I already got in and dad really support me.
"You let her to go a new state alone and chose her own way? This is why I dont trust you to raise her. When that woman left you, I told you to give her to orphanage because I'm really sure you cant handle a child and right here you are." Nana protest.
"Madison is my biological daughter! She has my blood in her! I never want to let anyone take her from my hand and I know what the best for her. I'm her father." Dad says.
"Yeah your daughter with that slut! But you seems doesnt understand how to raise a child not like Matthew." Nana says.
"You know the reason why I left Manchester and brough Madison to Montreal after Florence left? Because of you! You cant stop compare me with Matthew. Everything I did is always wrong in your eyes and now you start blame my daughter. I wont let that happen, mom. I couldnt be more proud of her. With all of the achievements she done. I never say no to everything she asked but when she did something wrong, I taught her what is the right one and told her in a right way. I never blame her. I know my daughter and please, Matthew's children have a mom and she doesnt. She is the only one thing that I have. Something that I cant even screw up. She is my perfect thing and I just want to make her happy. That's it. So just stop blame her for everything she did. Stop blame her and make her as your victim because of your anger to me!" Dad yells.
I heard some steps walk to the stairs. I walk to my room quickly then sit down on the sofa near my window. Tears slowly fall down to my face. I know that my dad really loves me and I just know the reason why he doesnt like to stay in Manchester for a long time.
~~~~
I walk upstairs and bring a food tray with dinner on it. Since the argue, my dad doesnt wanna go out from his room. He just lock himself there and now I guess I should bring him a dinner.
"Dad?" I open the door slowly.
I walk into my dad's room with bring the food tray. The tv is on and dad lay his body on the bed. I walk to his bed and place that foodtray on his table.
"Dad, are you sleeping?"
He open his eyes quickly and shakes his head. "No." Dad shakes his head.
"I brough you dinner. You havent eat dinner right? Here, I brough you dinner. I bought the dinner from Breadstix so it wont be salty or anything. It's health. Come on, I dont want you sick." I said to him.
Dad sit up on his bed and sit down with his back agaisnt the wall. "You bought food outside alone?"
"No. I called the delivery service. I asked Finn to accompany me but he is still school with the other boys. Now you have to eat." I said to dad and take the food tray.
"I feel like I'm sick now." Dad sighs.
"Then eat this food so you wont get sick." I smile at him.
"Thank you, honey. You're the best." Dad smiles at me and kisses my head.
"Because if you get sick, I cant go to the prom." I grin.
"Just tell me that you wanna buy prom stuff. You dont need to bring me dinner like this." Dad says to me.
"You dont trust me that this is not a bribe?" I frown.
"Haha no, I trust you. Thank you so much, princess. Now, since you already bought these food so I better eat it." Dad takes the food tray from my hand and pull the tray legs and make it like a mini table.
"And I have one more thing." I smirk at dad and shows him a dvd.
"What's that?" Dad frowns at me.
"A movie about a daughter and a father. I cried when I watched this with Finn and you know what? He also cried so I dare you to not to cry." I chuckle.
"Okay let see." Dad chuckles.
I walk to the tv cabinet and put the dvd into the dvd player then walk back to dad's bed and sit down next to him while he is eating his food. Dad shows a spoon of food to me and I just open my mouth and let him feed me.
I dont have a mother and my dad took care of me ever since. He is my father and my mother at the same time. He loves to feed me when I lazy to eat or sick. He would stay up all night when I sick even he want to sleep next to me. And when I cant sleep, mostly I just want to sleep next to him and then I will fall asleep.
"What's that line?" Dad frowns.
"Subtitle. It's Korean movie." I said while chewing my food. Dad shows me his spoon again and still feed me. "Dad, I brough food here for you not for me." I roll my eyes.
"You always open your mouth when I start to feed you. I know that." Dad chuckles. "Like when you were one year old. Your mom went to work, I stayed in our apartment with you. I left you sit down on your high chair and give you a bowl of solid food. You just sit down and playing with your spoon but you didnt eat that food. Until then I started to feed you and you want to eat that food until nothing's left. Even when I showed you empty spoon, you just open your mouth and want to eat again."
"That's the reason why I was fat when I was baby. My dad loves gave me food." I roll my eyes.
"But now my baby girl turns into a beautiful teenage girl." Dad smiles at me.
"Sebastian called me The Beautiful Jennifer Aniston."
"Ah you're more beautiful than her." Dad simply said.
"No, I'm not." I shake my head.
"Yes you are." Dad says and place the food tray on his side table.
I lay my body on his bed and cover my half body with blanket. "Dad, how many person in this world who wished that I didnt exist or never born?"
"Honey, why you asked me that thing?" Dad frowns at me.
"No. I meant like nana hates me, mom left me, and-and I cant even get closer with my cousins because they looked at me like that."
"But I love you with all of my heart. I would exchange everything I have in this world only to see one smile from your face." Dad grabs my body and hugs me. "My family is like that. That's why I refused you when you wanna call grandma Anne to lived here with me even though she is my mom. But you still have me, Finn, Carole, then grandma Maria, even though she hates her daughter because she left us, but she loves you right? That summer day when we went to Manchester, you stayed with her right."
"Yeah she made me cookies. Chocolate chip cookies and it was the best. And I asked her those question about Eiffel Tower and Big Ben since I knew she is the smart one." I giggle.
"See? There are a lot of people in this world love you. They wishes you were born and here you are. You must be eavesdrop my argue with nana right? I told you that it's impolite okay." Dad rubs my hair.
"You were talking so loudly, dad. I can heard that clearly." I said to dad.
"But next time dont eavesdrop other's conversation okay. That's impolite. I love you and dont think that nobody loves you. I will call grandma Maria tomorrow and ask her to send you chocolate chip cookies." Dad smiles at me.
"And when the cookies get here it's already melted." I chuckle. "Okay I'm sleepy, can I sleep here?"
"Yes you can. But that movie?" Dad points to the tv.
"Watch it alone and tell me tomorrow, you cry or not." I simply said and lay my body on the bed then make aslant backing dad. "Good night, daddy."
"Good night, my sweetheart." Dad rubs my hair.
I hug a pillow and close my eyes. Yeah my dad's family seems didnt like me since we lived away and even though my nana usually buying me expensive gift but she rarely appreciate with the things I've done. So different with my other grandma from my mom. Even though she knows her daughter left me, she loves me and I love spending the summer or christmas with her.
That's a life. At least I'm still have a father who loves me unconditionally and Finn. My boyfriend who loves me for the way I am.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Glee Club
"Ladies and Gentlemen, we have an announcemet." Kurt and I standing on the front.
"So, graduation is coming over and we'd like to have senior prom night!" I said excitedly.
The others start cheering happily and whooping together. "And the prom theme this year is....."
"Hollywood!" Kurt and I said excitedly.
"So, here is the rules, the girls have to wear the long dress and before you enter the prom place, there will be a red carpet so pretend yourself as the hollywood star which mean you have to be glamour and sashay." I grin at them.
"Simple as that." Kurt grins at them.
"Alright everyone we have a good news." Mr. Schue walks in.
Kurt and I walk back to sit down on our seat next to each other. "Last Saturday, my dad and I went to Sherri Hill fashion show." I said quietly.
"What? Why you didnt tell me?" Kurt frowns at me.
"So guys, prom is coming over and principal Figgins want New Directions perform on the prom!" Mr. Schue says excitedly at us.
"To make you jealous." I grin at Kurt. "Their new collection are the best. I wish that my dad want to buy one for me but he took me to the mall afterwards." I sigh.
"I saw on their website about their new style and I really like it." Kurt says to me.
"Me too." I nodded.
"Good morning, McKinley High!" A sound from the speaker. "First of all, to those of you thoughtful enough to leave maternity gifts outside my office, both I and my unborn child thank you for your lackluster Cracker Barrel meat-and-cheese medleys, and I'm sure that my trash can will find them delicious. Now it's time to announce this year's Senior Prom Court nominees.
Your choices for Prom King are Rick "The Stick" Nelson. Brittany S. Pierce. And also, Finn Hudson."
I turn my face at Finn and smile at him. Finn smiles happily and smirks at me.
"And now on to the category we all really care about: Prom Queen. Missy Gunderson.
Santana Lopez. And Quinn Fabray. Congratulations to all our nominees."
"Wait, you're not nominated." Finn frowns at me.
"President and Vice President isnt allowed to be prom king and queen." I said to Finn.
The bell rings.
"Alright everyone let's figure out the song for the prom night." Mr. Schue says to us.
"You should be nominated so we can win the prom king and queen together." Finn says to me.
"But that's the rule, Finn." I sigh and went out from the choir room with him.
"How was your dad and your grandma?" Finn asks me and hold my hand.
"Still didnt talk to one another. I slept next to my dad nowadays to make him feel better." I half-smiled at Finn.
"Wait, you didnt tell me what's going on that night when you called me and cried." Finn frowns at me.
"They fighted. My grandma always blame me for everything I did at home like how she blamed dad when my dad was young and he doesnt like it then they fighted. Started an argue and-and she wished that my dad threw me to orphanage...."
"Wait, you told me that your grandma really loves you." Finn frowns.
"My other one. The one from my mom. My grandmas live in Manchester. The one in my house right now is the rich one who usually gave me expensive gift but never appreciate what I've done. Different with the other one. Remember the chocolate chips cookies I made for you? That recipe was from her. She taught me how to made that." I said to Finn.
"Then why you called er to came?" Finn asks me.
"Because she is my dad's mother. I cant call other grandma because she is not my dad's mother in law only my maternal grandma. But she really loves me even though my mom left me." I said. "My life is confusing. I know that." I chuckle.
"Not really. That's cool. I love listening to heard that." Finn smiles at me.
"I already prepare the dress for prom." I grin at Finn.
"I'm so excited with this. Our first prom." Finn grins at me.
"Yes our first prom! Yeay!" I said happily.
Finn just chuckle and keep walking with me together until we enter our classroom and ready for the next class.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I went out from Finn's car and hold my ransel. "You wanna come? I guess Mikey missed you." I said to Finn.
"But your grandma?" Finn frowns at me.
"Screw her." I simply said and take Finn's hand.
"Dont tell me you wanna snuggle." Finn giggles and hug me from behind as we walk together.
"You can guess that easily, mister." I chuckle. "My dad already home." I said to Finn as I see my dad's car outside my house. "Daddy, I'm home." I stepped into my house.
"Hey, honey. Hey Finn." Dad smiles at us and go back read a paper.
"Where is she?" I ask quietly.
"Gone. She went back to Manchester and only left a letter. Apology letter." Dad says to me.
"You okay?" I walk closer to him.
"I'm fine. Life is better if it's only you and I. Both of us. Right, Finn?" Dad chuckles.
"Absolutely, Mr. Collins." Finn chuckles.
"Alright, I have work to be done so you guys better study upstairs and I just went to the supermarket." Dad says to us then walk to his office room.
"Okay." I simply nodded and walk to the kitchen and take the food snacks from the cupboard then walk upstairs with Finn.
"I dont have to learn about accent anymore!" Finn shouts and jump to my bed.
"You dont have to do that if you dont want to, Finn." I sit down on my bed.
"It was sucked me up because we only can meet at school and I cant cuddle with you or anything." Finn sighs.
"But here we are." I smirk at him and sit down on his lap as he lay his body on my bed.
"Do you wanna make out?" Finn smirks back at me.
I just chuckle and push my face closer to him and kiss him as Finn kisses me back passionately. I really miss him. Last week was a rough week. My nana doesnt let me go to Finn's house and Finn cant come here because he didnt talk with accent.
"I miss you." I said to Finn and lay my body next to him.
"I've been missing you a lot." Finn rubs my cheek.
"Now I want you sleep next to me and hold me." I make aslant backing him.
Finn hug me from behind and pull me closer to his body. "We're free from that monster." Finn kisses my cheek.
"Yes we are." I rub his hand with my hand then close my eyes. We're free from that monster and we can cuddle and snuggle again.
