Finn's POV
I'm standing in front my locker and put my book to my locker. Madison is standing next to my locker and leans her back against the locker.
"I've been thinking that I should drink vitamin every day so I can be smarter." Madison says innocently.
"Maddy, forget it. You're really smart." I turn my face at her and let out a sigh.
"But stupid in relationship." Madison simply said. I sigh and grab her head and kiss her top head. "Do you think that leprechaun exist?"
"They are not exist in this world okay. Why you asking me that thing?" I raise my eyebrows.
"Nothing because I saw Brittany talked with an Irish guy and he said that he is a leprechaun which mean that he can make her wish come true. I read a book about Europe mytology which is all the myth things in Europe and I remember that there is a chapter about leprechaun." Madison says to me.
"You know what? Forget what Sam said to you. You're really smart. Smart people loves reading and you loves that. Just cover your ears and dont listen to people who tries to make you down. Okay." I said to her.
"But I want that leprechaun." Madison says to me.
"I can be your leprechaun. What do you want?" I raise my eyebrows.
"Tots. A lot of tots." Madison grins at me.
"The leprechaun doesnt accept tots as wishes." I roll my eyes and shut my locker and start walking away.
"Finn!!!!" Madison shout and run to me.
"So already figure out what are you gonna do to get the budget for musical drama?" I ask her.
"Sell the tickets in my dad's office. Do you wanna help me? We can go to Columbus after school." Madison grins at me.
"Sure but buy me dinner." I grin back at her.
"Yes, sir!" Madison chuckles.
"Alright, come on we might be late for the glee club." I show my hand to her.
"I dont wanna holding hands. Last time we holding hands because people will think that I really cheated on Sam." Madison shakes her head.
"That's okay." I half-smiled at her and rub her hair.
I know that since Madison and Sam broke up. She always avoid to have a real contact with me. I know she is really innocent and she might be still think about Sam called her stupid. For now, I just wanna protect her and I wont let anyone else hurt her.
Madison's POV
Finn and I keep walking in the hallways. I turn my face a bit at him. He always trying to make me happy and smile. Did this is the thing that he called love is? I dont know but I guess so.
I remember how mad Finn was when Sam called me stupid. Even he almost kill Sam. And that's the thing that Ms. Pillsburry ever told me about sacrifice. But I'm still lost because I'm still thinking about what Sam called me.
Finn and I keep walking in the hallways until we both enter the choir room. Tina is crying while Mike is comforting her. I just sit down in the front row next to Artie and Finn on the other side.
"You know what, girl Chang? If you cry every time someone gets a hangnail, it kind of starts to lose its effect." Santana says to Tina.
"It's not a hangnail. Mercedes was one of Glee's original members. I feel naked in here without her." Tina sobbing.
"Yeah, well, get used to it, 'cause without her singing for us, we're going to have to perform naked for the judges to vote for us at Sectionals." Puck says.
"No. I will not let this setback crush our spirits. I mean, we have handled worse." Mr. Schue says to us.
"Than losing one of our best singers?" Mike frowns.
"Kind of hard not to blame you, Mr. Schue. Think you were too hard on her at Booty Camp." Quinn says.
"I blame Artie. Why couldn't you have just given Maria to Mercedes?" Tina asks Artie.
"Because that would have damaged my integrity as an artist." Artie answer.
"Besides that was the rules. She was the one who want it." I added.
"Sorry I am late." Rachel walks in. "I was putting up posters for my for my campaign." Rachel lower her voice at the last word then sit down.
"Did you airbrush out your jowls?" Kurt mock Rachel.
"No!" Rachel rolls her eyes.
"Look, let's stop it, everybody." Finn stops us and stand up from his seat. "So we lost a singer. So they canceled the musical." Finn says.
"Wait, what? No, no, no, no. You can't cancel my musical." Rachel protest.
"Sue cut the funding." Mike simply said.
"The point is, right now, we shouldn't - be turning on each other." Finn says to us.
"Said a girlfriend-stealer." Sam mumbled out loud.
I let out a sigh and turn my face at Finn. Finn look a bit angry but I give him a sign to calm down.
"I agree with Finn. I can only speak from my experience with the Warblers, but no show choir is just one person; it's a team.
When we lost a Warbler, we just replaced him with another one." Blaine stand up from his seat.
"Which is easy when your waiting list has a waiting list. Dude, I know you're a big deal at Dalton or whatever, but we don't wear blazers here, so have a seat I'm trying to give a pep talk." Finn says to Blaine.
"Didn't you just say something about us not turning on each other?" Blaine says to Finn and sit down.
I raise my eyebrows at Finn and give him a sign to sit down. He really need to calm himself down and stop being so emotional.
"No, you can't cancel my musical. Okay? I was considering changing my name to Maria." Rachel protest.
"The musical is not canceled. As for Mercedes, yes, that is a huge loss for us, but we will deal with replacing her later. Right now, we need to focus on putting on this musical." Mr. Schue says to us.
"How?" Tina asks.
"We sell ads in the program. I figure we can get ten, maybe 20 bucks apiece for them." Mr. Schue says to us and shows us ads program.
"So we'll only have to sell about 200." Quinn says.
"Well, I think it's a brilliant idea. And I volunteer myself to spearhead the charge.
It'll give me a great opportunity to, uh, bust out my Banana Republic Mad Men collection." Kurt says to us.
"And I will try to sell the tickets more in my dad's office after this. People in Sony Music mostly loves art." I grin.
"Okay. All right. Let's break off into smaller groups, figure out who's going to canvass which parts of the city." Mr. Schue grins at us. We then stand up from our seat and take our bag. "And guys, I don't care what Sue does or who leaves us everyone in this group's dreams are going to come true this year. Let's do it." Mr. Schue grins at us.
"Hey, Santana. Ready to help out the team?" Finn asks Santana.
"Yeah, of course. Why?" Santana frowns.
"Just checking." Finn grins.
Santana just shrug and leave the choir room. I turn my face at Finn and frown at him. "What happened?"
"I eavesdrop her conversation with Mercedes about join the Troubletones. Then I met Brittany's leprechaun and the fact he is not leprechaun. His name is Rory Flanagan, a foreign exchange student from Ireland and he pretend to be leprechaun and make three wishes come true so he can get Pot O' Gold." Finn says to me as we walk together.
"It's mean that he want to have s*x with her?" I frown.
"Yep." Finn nodded.
"You also did the same?" I raise my eyebrows.
"What? No! I wont do that with my beloved friend." Finn smirks at me.
"Eww." I roll my eyes.
"Haha just kidding." Finn laughs.
I roll my eyes and keep walking. Finn really makes me happy and change my whole life. I'm so lucky to have him in my life as my best friend.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm laying my body on the grass and looking at the sky with Finn next to me. It's quiet evening. We are bored with study so we decided to spend our time in the backyard and looking at the sky.
"That's scorpion!" I said to Finn and points to the stars.
"I didnt even notice that." Finn simply said.
"Huh you need to read astronomy book." I roll my eyes.
"I'm reading you now." Finn says.
I turn my face at him and frown at him. "What do you mean?"
"You happy now? I feel like you back to be normal." Finn turn his face at me.
"Back to be normal?" I raise my eyebrows.
"Back to be Madison used to be. My Madison who is innocent, clumsy, and say anything what's in her mind. A simple girl who loves go out with jeans and boots. Claim herself that she is a brave one but tha fact that she is afraid with the darkness. The one who doesnt wanna admit that she is a spoilt baby when the fact she is. The one who dream about fairytale every day and wish that she could be in those fairytale story."
"How could you know all those thing?" I look at him.
"Is there anything I didnt know about you?" Finn chuckle. "We lived next to each other since we were little, Maddy. I even know your underware colour."
I frown at him and cover my pants with my hand. "You scared me."
"Haha just kidding. Mad, do you wanna know one thing?" Finn asks me.
"Okay what?" I turn my face back at the sky.
"After you had summer camp with Sam. He had summer with Mercedes. I got this rumours from twitter and it said that they both have summer fling like that. So for the fact that he wasnt be honest with you." Finn says to me.
"Yeah I'm really stupid. I know that." I simply said.
"No, you're not. Stop calling yourself stupid." Finn says. "Listen, I wont let any other guy hurt you. I promise."
"I'm just not interest in love for now. Or I guess since first I should be single until I find the right man. Besides that I'm still trying to find what is love." I sigh.
"You will get it. The right man will come to you in the right time." Finn says to me.
I turn my face at him and smile at him. Finn just smile back at me. "That was too cheesy but I like it. Thanks, Finn. You're the best." I chuckle and turn my face away.
"I know I stand in line until you think you have the time to spend an evening with me. And if we go someplace to dance I know that there's a chance you won't be leaving with me." Finn's singing.
I turn my face at him and chuckle. Finn turn his face at me and smiles at me. "The time is righ. Your perfume fills my head. The stars get red and oh the night's so blue. And then I go and spoil it all by saying something stupid like I love you." I'm singing.
"I love you..." We both singing together until we turn our face at each other.
We looked at each other with deeply look. I dont know but my heart beats really fast right now. Finn rubs my cheek and pull my face closer to him and about to kiss me.
"I'm forget that my dad told me that I have to help him. I have to go." I said to Finn and stand up from my grass.
"Mad, I'm sorry." Finn sighs.
"It's okay." I half-smiled at him and walk off from his backyard and get into my backyard and enter my house from the backdoor. "Hey, dad." I smile at dad and sit down on my dining table.
"Hey, honey. How was the fundraising for the tickets?" Dad ask me as he sit down on dining table and looking at his laptop.
"Kurt's father will buy it. He said that he has friend for that. And I sold twenty tickets in your office which is I got 200 bucks." I giggle.
"That's my daughter." Dad rubs my hair.
"Dad, do you remember about the Sam guy who I ever told you?" I ask dad.
"Yes, why?" Dad keeps looking at his laptop.
"Well, I broke up with him two days ago." I simply said.
"Wait why?" Dad closes his laptop and frowns at me.
"I let Finn kissed me and then the next day they fighted until I told Sam that I let Finn kissed me and he mad at me. He called me stupid. Finn heard that, he was upset then he defended me until he beated that guy again." I sigh.
"How could he call you stupid?" Dad frowns.
"He asked me did I love him or not. But I got no answer and I said that I dont even know what love is and the fact I dont know. I guess that I shouldnt have a boyfriend since at first. My relationship never ended up well." I said to dad.
"Honey, what Finn did is love. Just like me, if I was there, I also want to punch that guy for you because he call my girl stupid. That's because I love you, I wont let anyone hurt you and I would do anything to make you happy. That's love. Sacrificing yourself for someone you love in order to make people we love happy." Dad says to me.
"Finn told me, I shouldnt kiss him when I was dating Sam. But I cant help it. His lips was really soft and he make my heart beats so fast." I giggle
"Haha you're in love." Dad strokes my hair.
"What?" I raise my eyebrows.
"Honey, love is when you cant stop thinking about that person. Love is when you feel your heart beats so fast when you are with that person. Love is sacrificing for someone's happiness, just like what Finn did. He kissed you but he realized what you both did was wrong and you told him that you shouldnt kiss him because you were have a boyfriend. Love is just like you and I. Think about what we did together and that's love." Dad says to me.
"Well, Finn told me that he wanna show me what a love is." I said to dad.
"And what he did?" Dad raises his eyebrows at me.
"He made me laugh so hard. He wiped my tears away when I cried. He defended me, a lot. He reminded me when I did something wrong. And he told me that he never let anyone hurt me. He even know me better than myself like what I love to wear, what's the things I love to do and dont then what I am dreaming about every day. He know all those things. And one, when I tried to be a little cute girl that Sam loved, I tried to wear skirt since we had our first date but Finn told me that's not me. He made me realized that I made a mistake because of someone. I forget myself, dad."
"One point. He loves you better than any those guy did except me of course." Dad smiles at me.
"Of course because he is my best friend." I simply said.
"Honey, he loves you more than a bestfriend to his bestfriend. He already showed what love is to you but you didnt realize it. He showed all his love to you. Now I feel like I'm having a deja vu when we wanted to leave Montreal then you told me that Finn kissed you and told you he loves you. You proudly said that you love him too." Dad says to me.
"Really? I dont even remember that." I shake my head.
"Are you sure? You cant lie to me, Maddy. You remember that." Dad chuckles.
"Okay yes, I know I only cant lie to God and my dad." I roll my eyes. "But what's the point?" I raise my eyebrows.
"Finn is trying to show you that he loves you more than what you think. Honey, he is a good guy and I know him since he was little. You both took bath together, went to school together even until now. I know his mom, I know his family and this is better than you start dating any random guy." Dad says to me.
"What? So you mean that I should date Finn?" I raise my eyebrows. "But I'm not ready for any kind of new relationship, dad." I shake my head.
"No, I dont meant to. I mean, just look at him when is talking to you and you will see love from his eyes so you can feel it by yourself." Dad smiles at me and lock the backdoor. "Now, go get to your room, brush your teeth and sleep. You still have school tomorrow." Dad rubs my hair.
"Yes, captain." I giggle. "Thank you so much for this evening talk."
"I'm your father and you can tell me everything. Remember that we keep faith on each other so just be honest with everything okay." Dad smiles at me and turn his way to his office room.
"You dont wanna sleep?" I ask dad.
"I'm still have work to be done. You can sleep first." Dad says to me.
"Okay good night and dont work overlate. I love you." I left a quick kiss on dad's lips.
"Good night. I love you more." Dad smiles at me.
I giggle and turn my way to the stairs and get into my room. I turn my face at my window and looking at Finn's window and he already turn off his lamp.
Maybe everything what dad said is right. Yeah I didnt trust anyone in this earth except my dad and some people. And I also know that dad wasnt lie to me and I think what he said all totally right. I even remember that Finn is still taking my necklace.
Well just let take it slowly until I'm ready to have another relationship because I dont wanna hurt Finn in the end. I just dont and I cant.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm standing in front of my locker and checking the schedule for rehearsal musical drama.
"You still want to standing here and not going for glee club?" Finn standing next to my locker.
"Sssshhh I lost counting." I put my pen in front of Finn's mouth.
"Okay I'm waiting." Finn simply said.
I take my notebook and my pen then hold it. I shut my locker and turn my face at Finn who busy playing with cube and lean his back against the locker waiting for me.
I just looking at him. Dad was right. He was totally right. Finn already showed all his love to me but I didnt realized it. I know I'm really stupid.
"What?" Finn frowns at me.
"You cant play that things." I chuckle and take his cube.
I give my notebook to Finn and playing with his cube as we walk together to the choir room.
I've been thinking that all the things dad said was right. When I'm Finn, I can be myself. When I'm Finn, I feel comfortable and safe. So it means that after all this time I'm in love with him and he loves me?
"Finn..."
"What?"
"Nothing. I'm forget what I'm going to say." I simply said and give that cube back to him and take my notebook.
God. My mind is wandering right now. I just need to focus and focus. But if he really loves me why he never tell me? Is he afraid or something?
We keep walking until we enter the choir room. Everyone is busy. I walk to an empty seat next to Artie and give the rehearsal schedule I made.
"Nice job. I will tell coach Beiste to prepare the property and after this we can do the fitting costume." Artie grins at me.
"Faster is better." I sigh.
Mr. Schue walks into the choir room and wrote 'The Magic's Back' on the white board.
"Okay, everyone, I have some very exciting news." Mr. Schue says to us. "Due to the collective spirit of this club particularly the hard ad sales work of Kurt and the generosity of the entire Hummel-Hudson household it's my pleasure to announce that we have raised the money to do West Side Story this year!" Mr. Schue grins at us and points at Kurt.
We are applauding and cheering happily. Kurt just sit down on the back seat and smiling at us. "Thank you and thank you."
"Blaine, you actually had something you wanted to say, - right?" Mr. Schue points at Blaine.
"Yes, I did." Blaine stand up from his seat and walk to the front. "I just wanted to acknowledge that we've all had a really rough week, what with Mercedes leaving.
So I prepared a little something to show what Mr. Schue just said that the magic is still here. So this is to remind us of what Glee is all about, which is just fun." Blaime grins at us and points to the band.
Blaine (with Artie and Mike):
There's a stranger (in my bed)
There's a pounding (in my head)
Glitter all over (the room)
Pink flamingos (in the pool)
I smell like a (minibar)
DJ's passed out (in the yard)
Barbies on the (barbecue)
This a hickey (or a bruise?)
Blaine with Artie and Mike:

Blaine with New Directions:
Last Friday night

And we took too many shots
Think we kissed but I forgot
Last Friday night
Yeah we maxed our credit cards
And got kicked out of the bar
So we hit the boulevard
Last Friday night
We went streaking in the park
Skinny dipping in the dark
Then had a ménage à trois
Last Friday night
Yeah I think we broke the law
Always say we're gonna stop-op
Whoa-oh-oah
This Friday night
Do it all again
This Friday night
Do it all again
Blaine (with Artie and Mike):
Trying to (connect the dots)
Don't know what to (tell my boss)
Think the city (towed my car)

Ripped my favorite (party dress)
Warrant's out (for my arrest)
I think I need a (ginger ale)
That was such an (epic fail)

The song ended we back to our seat together then cheering and whooping together.
"You guys, that song is amazing. I think we should do it for Sectionals!" Rachel grins at us.
'So no concerns about showcasing any other voices this year at the competition?" Santana stand up from her seat.
"Oh, come on, Santana. You were featured last year at Sectionals." Mr. Schue says.
"Yeah, I know. And we won." Santana simply said. "Oh! No, you know what? I get it. Since Mercedes is gone this year, it's going to be the Blaine and Rachel show.
Yay! You all know it's true. Noted. Good to know." Santana says and walk off.
"Thank you, Santana." Mr. Schue sighs.
The others just being quiet and looking at each other about what Santana said. I know I'm new and but I guess I got it why Mercedes left.
"Well, everyone for those who got selected to play for the musical drama, meet me and Artie in auditorium at 4 for the fitting costume. Thank you." I said to them.
The bell rings.
"Alright, everyone good job!" Mr. Schue says to us.
"Come on. We got lot works to do." I said to Artie and start push his wheelchair and went out from this choir room.
For now I just want to be busy. Busy with this musical drama so nobody can distract me or anything. Except for one thing.
"You left it in choir room. This is your big project and dont lose it anymore. I have football practice now so I'll see you after our things done." Finn give me my notebook and smiles at me then walk away.
Yeah he might be my only one thing distraction. Am I in love right now? Ugh I guess so but I just want to take it slow.
