Childhood Friendship (Glee Fanfiction)

Chapter 20

I take my book from my bag and put it inside my locker. I turn my face to my locker door and check my list for the musical drama. It will be held this weekend and I'm little bit nervous actually.

But the bad things is Santana and Brittany left the glee club and move to The Troubletones. And there is a new covered. Finn recruit the leprechaun aka Rory Flanagan to join New Directions and he got in so I guess after all there is no problem at all.

"And done." I check my list then shut my locker.

I'm shocked because Sam is standing next to my locker and I didnt realize that since I was busy with my stuff.

"If you want to call me stupid again, you better go." I simply said.

"I'm here to apologize. I shouldnt call you like that. And for the fact that you're amazing. I feel guilty because of that and that wasnt me. I'm-I'm really sorry." Sam says to me.

"It's okay." I said to him.

"You sure?" Sam asks me.

"Yeah. I've been thinking that since sectionals is coming over then three people of our glee club quitted so we are who stay should be united so we can win sectionals." I said.

"Yeah you're right. So-so what are you gonna do after school?" Sam grins at me.

"I have to go to the auditorium for the rehearsal. So talk to you later." I wave Sam a goodbye and walk away.

I'm sorry, Sam. I forgive you but I dont wanna go out with you because I keep my heart for someone who deserves that and I dont wanna waste my time for the wrong person again.

I walk enter the auditotium. Blaine and Rachel are ready to have rehearsal. Artie, Ms. Pillsburry, and coach Beiste already here to direct the musical.

Music start begin. Rachel and Blaine are singing while looking at the music sheets and practice their moves.

Rachel:

Tonight, tonight

It all began tonight

I saw you and the world went away

Tonight, tonight

There's only you tonight

What you are, what you do, what you say

Blaine:

Today, all day I had the feeling

A miracle would happen

I know now I was right

Blaine and Rachel:

For here you are

And what was just a world is a star

Tonight

Tonight, tonight

The world is full of light

With suns and moons all over the place

Tonight, tonight

The world is wild and bright

Going mad

Shooting sparks into space

Today, the world was just an address

A place for me to live in

No better than all right

But here you are

And what was just a world is a star

Tonight

Good night, good night

Sleep well and when you dream

Dream of me

Tonight

Coach Beiste wipe her tears away after they sing a song. I just frown at her and curious.

"Are you gonna cry every time we sing?" Blaine asks coach Beiste.

"I’m such a girl." Coach Beiste chuckles.

"My only note is more teeth." Ms. Pillsburry says.

"Well-done guys, lets start the next scene..." I said to them.

"Can I be honest? This song is about s****l awakening, as is the entire musical. You two lack passion. Have either of you two actually…?" Artie asks them.

"Wow. Okay. I have to go." Ms. Pillsburry says and walk off.

"Those footballs ain’t gonna inflate themselves." Coach Beiste says and walk off.

"Well, I guess that I have to go." I simply said and about to walk off.

"Madison, go back here." Artie called me. I let out a sigh and sit down on my seat again. "Look, I remember my first time with Brittany. The excitement, the way it made me feel like a man. Even though she called me the wrong name like, four times. During and after. What was it like for you guys?" Artie asks them.

"Doesnt this is too personal?" I whisper at Artie. He just raise his hand and tell me to shut up. I roll my eyes and let out a sigh.

"W- um…" Rachel says innocently.

"I’m waiting for the right time." Blaine says to us.

"Yeah. Yeah, yeah, me too. So glad that you’re my Tony." Rachel giggles nervously.

"Look. As your friend, I support your strange aversion to fun. But, as your director, I’m concerned." Artie says.

"I’m sorry, what do you mean?" Rachel frowns.

"Well, how do you expect to convey the human experience to an audience when you haven’t even opened yourself up to one of humanity’s most basic and primal ones." Artie says to them.

"God, no. This is something disgusting to be talk about." I shake my head. "Okay guys, the rehearsal is over. Thank you very much." I said to Rachel and Blaine.

"O-kay..." Blaine says and walk off with Rachel.

"What the hell you did? I was right. To play Maria and Tony they have to have that experience and consider it begin." Artie says to me.

"But isnt that thing was too personal? I mean, they can be pretend like they already done that thing." I sigh.

"Okay I'm sorry. I just want them feel their character deeply." Artie says.

"That's okay." I smile at Artie and start pushing his wheelchair out from the auditorium.

"I bet that you havent done that things too." Artie says to me.

"Yep. I'm waiting for the right time and the right person. Like relationship. I dont wanna waste my time with wrong person so I'd rather to wait." I said to Artie.

"That's cool." Artie says. "That's your decisions." Artie nodded.

"Yeah." I nodded and keep pushing his wheelchair in the hallways.

I see Finn and Rachel are talking and smirking at each other in front of Finn's locker. I keep pushing Artie's wheelchair and walk passed them.

I just half-smiled at Finn as Finn looking at me. I dont know but my heart feels not okay. Seems like my heart hurts and I wanna cry.

"Okay, thank you." Artie says and turn his wheelchair to his locker.

"After this we will have rehearsal with Mike okay." I said to Artie and walk off.

I walk to my locker and open my locker and check my list. I see Finn is still talking with Rachel and I dont know what is the thing they been talking about until Rachel wave him a goodbye and walk away.

I turn my face back to inside my locker and keep myself busy with my stuff and my list. "Hey." Finn suddenly comes to me.

"Hey..." I pretend like busy with my stuff.

"Listen, I'm sorry I cant accompany you to buy birthday gift for your dad this evening because Rachel invite me to come over to her house." Finn says to me.

"That's okay. I can go out alone. Besides that Sam apologized to me so maybe I can ask him." I fake-smile at Finn.

"I-I can cancel that if you want." Finn says.

"No, that's okay. We still have tomorrow and the next day or many days." I said to Finn.

"You mad at me?" Finn asks me.

I shut my locker and shake my head. "I didnt mad at you. You can go with whoever you want."

"Okay I have to go. I'll call you tonight." Finn says to me and walk off.

I feel like something wrong with me right now. Either I feel jealous or not. I know I realized that I'm in love with Finn but who am I? I'm nothing.

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

Finn's POV

"Oh, can I get the dessert? This food taste amazing." I said to Rachel.

I dont know the aim of Rachel invited me over here. Well to be honest, she look hot tonight and maybe we can make out or do something here.

"Oh. Actually, I thought maybe we could just go snuggle by the fire first." Rachel says to me.

"Okay." I nodded.

We then stand up from our seat. Rachel walks lead me to the living room and she wear a short dress and shows me her socks. I dont know why I feel wrong with this.

Rachel light up the fire. I just sit down on the ground with my back against the sofa until Rachel comes to me and kisses me. I kiss her back and then we both have a make out.

"I brought protection." I said to Rachel.

"Me too. Every Broadway girl comes prepared." Rachel says to me.

"Wait, wait, before we do this, I need to know, why now? The last time we talked about this, you said you wanted to wait until you won a Tony." I frown.

"Or any other major award. I mean, a Golden Globe, a People’s Choice would have gotten you to third base, but… I don’t know what changed, I mean even the thought of going to New York a virgin felt silly to me, but when and who’s gonna feel more right than you and now? And I love you." Rachel says to me.

"No, Rachel, I cant do this. I have to make a decision." I shake my head.

"No, I can’t wait a couple of weeks, I have to get this done before opening night." Rachel says to me.

"Get this done?" I frown and move my body away from her.

"I can’t play a girl who has a s****l awakening if I’m not woken up myself." Rachel says to me.

"So you’re doing this so you can act better?" I frown at her.

"No! No, I’m doing this because I love you. And so that I can act better, but that’s my business, okay, it has nothing to do with you." Rachel says to me. I just shake my head and stand up from my seat. "So- wait, where are you going? No, no, I’m ready, please, come back." Rachel begged.

"No, I cant. I cant do this with someone who just want to use me. I left someone who I love alone for you and I though that you would be change yourself not to be the selfish one but I was wrong. I was wrong to be here and I shouldnt left Madison alone when I already promised that I want to go out with her. Thanks for the dinner." I said to Rachel and walk away.

"Finn, I'm really sorry!" Rachel catches my hand.

"No, I have go back. This is wrong. I shouldnt do this with you. You're not my girlfriend anymore and I dont want make someone I love get hurt." I push Rachel's hand away.

"She even doesnt love you!" Rachel protest.

"No, she loves me. She accept me for the way I am. She thinks about me and put me first than herself. This is really wrong." I shake my head and walk out from Rachel's house.

I enter my car and start driving away from Rachel's house. How the hell I can left Madison alone when she needed me? How stupid I am.

No, I keep my heart for Madison and I know that she loves me. I can see it from her eyes. Maybe she just didnt tell me because I never tell her the truth.

But I guess tonight I will tell her. I have to. Before she run away again from my life and I dont want to let it happen. I dont care what is her answer but I just cant wait again.

~~

Madison's POV

I'm sitting down in front of the purple piano in my room. I dont know what to do. I'm bored and my mind went away.

My heart cant stop asking what is Finn doing in Rachel's house right now? Are they going back together? Myself cant stop asking about that. God, damn!

I turn my face to the piano in front of me and start playing it. I hope that it could make myself better.

Madison:

Why do birds suddenly appear,

Every time you are near?

Just like me

They long to be close to you

Why do stars fall down from the sky,

Every time you walk by?

Just like me

They long to be close to you

On the day that you were born

The angels got together

And decided to create a dream come true

So, they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold,

And star-light in your eyes of blue

That is why all the girls in town

Follow you all around

Just like me

They long to be close to you

On the day that you were born

The angels got together

And decided to create a dream come true

So, they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold,

And star-light in your eyes of blue

That is why all the girls in town

Follow you all around

Just like me

They long to be close to you

Just like me

They long to be close to you

I place my head on the piano and let out a sigh. I cant get Finn out of my mind and I cant stop wondering what the hell is he doing in Rachel's house right now. Yes, I'm jealous and I cant stop thinking about that.

Maybe I better go out. I stand up from my seat and take my hoodie then walk to the my door. I will find out by myself what Finn did in Rachel's house.

I walk to my door and open my door. I gasped when I see Finn is standing in front of my door and he seems like about to knock my door. He hold a stalk of red roses and look at me.

"F-Finn?" I frown at him.

"I'm sorry." Finn says to me.

"Just come in." I said to him and sit down on the edge of my bed.

Finn take the chair near the piano and sit down there and give me that rose to me. "I'm sorry. I shouldnt leave you. This is so stupid and so wrong."

"It's okay." I half-smiled at Finn. "So-so what happened?"

"Rachel was trying to have Pot O' Gold with me so she can act better as Maria for that play." Finn sighs.

"You okay? You look so disappointed." I hold his hand.

"I'm okay. I make the right decisions to left her and come to the one that I love because I dont wanna hurt her." Finn says to me.

"You-you what? That's-that's me?" I ask nervously.

"Maddy, I'm really sorry. I shouldnt left you. But when I was with Rachel, I cant stop thinking about you. When I'm with you, I can be anything I want to be. You taught me to be a better person especially to handle my anger and you always put me number one than your things. I-I love you more than bestfriend to bestfriend. I love you as ordinary guy. I love you for the way you are and I dont care what other people think or say about you because in my eyes, you're perfect."

I built a smile on my face and cup his cheek and pull his face closer to me and kiss him softly. Finn just cup my cheek and kisses me back.

I cant believe that Finn could do this thing to me. He told me everything he felt. Everything that dad said were right. I know I love him too but I'm not ready for another relationship.

"Finn, that was really sweet. I already know about that. Everything what my dad said was right. You already showed me all your love but I was stupid and I didnt realized it." I chuckle.

"Do you feel the same thing?" Finn raises his eyebrows at me.

"Y-yeah. You know me better than myself and when I'm with you, I feel comfortable. When I'm with you I can be myself even I know sometimes I'm really stupid, and spoilt but you accept me for the way I am. You always defended me everytime someone tries to hurt me. You are my guardian angel, Finn." I smile at Finn.

"Am I dreaming listening to you talk about this?" Finn chuckles. "So what's next?"

"I love you but I'm not ready for another new relationship. I just broke up with Sam and I dont wanna hurt you because you mean special to me. I just want to take it slow. But if that's the thing you want to. If you dont that's okay. Even without dating, we know we love each other, right? We keep our heart for each other."

Finn just smiling at me then he push his face closer to me and kisses me. I hold the back of his head and kiss him back until I lay my body on my bed and Finn ontop of me still kissing my lips then he kisses my neck and I cant handle it and laugh out loud.

"It's been twice you laugh out loud like this okay." Finn rolls his eyes.

"Haha that's ticklish. I cant handle it." I laugh.

"Stupid." Finn rolls his eyes and lay his body next to me.

"Call someone you love stupid is bullying and not accepted. I can report you to my dad and my dad will report you to your mom." I said to Finn.

"You're really smart, Maddy. You're not stupid at all okay." Finn smiles at me.

"Yeah I finally realized since I got A+ on chemistry." I put my tongue out at Finn.

"What? I got B+." Finn says sadly.

"Well after the West Side Story end, your study hours added. Become three hours every evening after school." I said to Finn.

"As long as I'm with you, three hours is nothing for me." Finn smirks at me.

"Ew disgusting." I laugh and walk to my study table. I take my chemistry book and show it to him. "Let's study." I grin at him.

"I'm sleepy. Bye." Finn simply said and close his eyes as he lay his body on my bed.

"So 'as long as I'm with you, three hours is nothing for me' is a lie?" I raise my eyebrows and sit down in front of him.

Finn turn his face at me then sit up on my bed. "Just kidding." Finn giggles.

"Okay so starting for this chapter." I said to Finn and open my book.

"Borrow this one." Finn simply said and take my notebook and start writing.

I'm just smiling looking at him. I cant believe that he could said that to me and he made me brave myself to told him the truth. He is my love and my bestfriend at the same time.

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

I keep walking go back and forth in the backstage. Today is the show day and I'm nervous and afraid if the show isnt like what I expected.

"Hey, Finn..."

I turn my face and Finn walks in to backstage and bring a bouquet of red roses. "Hey." Finn simply said and walk passed Rachel and comes to me. "You look beautiful tonight." Finn smiles at me and give me that flowers. "For the special director in my heart."

"Thank you. It's really sweet." I smile at Finn.

"You okay? You look nervous." Finn says to me.

"It's just I accidentally having OCD at this moment. I'm afraid that those thing wont be like what I expected." I sigh.

"Listen, you're amazing and the cast will be amazing. Just dont worry about that." Finn hold my sleeves.

"I'm not sure. I mean, Santana cant stop being a b***h then Puck messed the script then Rory's accents is so hard to built."

Finn cup my cheek then kisses me softly. "Just calm down. I love you." Finn smiles at me.

"That words sounds weird when you said it." I chuckle. "I love you too, Finn. But remember I dont like PDA."

"No one sees us kissed." Finn simply said and look around. "Okay two, Blaine and Kurt over there." Finn sighs. "I'm sorry, I just want to make you calm down."

"That's okay." I smile at him. "How was the football?"

"I aint got it." Finn says sadly.

I take his hand and hold his hand. "Dont worry. Pace University needs a quarterback like you." I grin at Finn.

Finn smiles at me and give a quick kiss on my lips. Finn put his hand around my shoulder as we are standing on the backstage and looking at the stage as the show is playing.

"Oh, when I think about when we came to America! Like children! Believing, trusting!" Puck says on the stage.

"Ah, trusting with our hearts open." Santana says.

"With our arms open." Tina says.

"You came wi your mou oh en." Rory says.

"See? I've been working hard for his accent." I let out a sigh.

"After this everything will be fine. Dont worry." Finn rubs my hair.

I keep looking at the stage and looking at the cast. The music is playing and it's time for the cast to sing America.

Santana:

They ended up their performance with a lot of clapping from the audience until the curtain fall down and next scene is coming.

"Good job you guys." I smile at them as they walk to the backstage passed me.

"See? Everything is work perfectly. You got this okay." Finn smiles at me.

"At least you can clear my nerve." I giggle.

"I know I can." Finn kisses my head.

I keep looking at the stage and see the other casts is playing on the stage. I hope that it will end good since my dad and some of his friends are watching this musical.

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

The musical is over. Everyone is busy with the after party thing but I dont want to celebrate it because I know Finn is sad about his football chance.

"Change your clothes already." Finn says and I walk to his room.

"Never enjoy to wear skirt or dress for too long. Where are your parents? This house seems so empty." I raise my eyebrows and sit down on his chair.

"Kurt’s, uh, out with Blaine, and my parents left for Tolito right after the show, they got some kinda meet-and-greet in the morning, so they’re spending the night." Finn says to me.

"So you're alone? You hungry? Want me cook something for you?" I ask Finn.

"No, I already ate much after the show ended. You didnt join the after party?" Finn asks me.

"No, I'm concern about you. You calmed me down but I know you're down because of that football result. And I'm wondering how could you do that?"

"Because I put you as my number one and I love you and that's the way I did that." Finn says to me.

"Finn, stop being so cheesy. Be serious. Okay. I know you're down but there are still many chances. The football selection in Ohio State not only once. Senior year is still long way to go. There are a lot of university in Ohio even US." I said to him and take his iPad and open the web browser. "Look at this, Miami University, Ohio University, Xavier University, University of Dayton, Kent University. There are still many more. Besides that we are study every night together and I'll make sure by graduate you can graduate with A and we will go to college together." I smile at him.

"You're the best." Finn smiles back at me.

"So ready for new adventure?" I raise my eyebrows.

"I'm ready as long as I'm with you." Finn smirks at me.

"That was so cheesy." I chuckle.

"Okay I'm hungry. You want something to eat?" Finn asks me.

"What about cooking together then we can watch movie together until morning comes?" I grin at Finn.

"You're genius." Finn chuckles and kisses me.

"Stop ruin my chapstick and lets have cooking party together." I giggle.

"Come on." Finn takes my hand then walk lead me to out from his room to the kitchen.

My life is really bright right now. Because Finn is my light who lights up my world to be really bright and full with happiness.
