Chapter 29

I'm standing near my locker as Santana, Tina, Mercedes, Sugar, and I are talking to each other and laughing each other. Prom is just next week and we all know that we are excited about this. I'm gonna make the best prom ever.

"You guys, I just went to my first student council meeting, and I found out that we have another prom this year." Brittany walks to us and says sadly. "So, as president, I need to come up with a theme. And I'm thinking, if we do alien abductions, we could set up cornfields and probing booths." Brittany says to us.

"Great." Santana smiles at her.

"Yeah. Although skydiving is better one." I simply said.

"All right." Brittany nodded at us.

"Aw, hell. Looks like Mr. Beiste went all Chris Brown on Mrs. Beiste.." Santana laughs as coach Beiste walk passed us and there is a bruise on her face. "What happened, Coach, Cooter put the smack-down on you 'cause you wouldn't let him be on top?" Santana asks her and laughs.

"What did you just say?" Coach Roz Washington asks Santana.

"Nothing. It was a joke." Santana simply said.

"So, men hitting women is funny to you?" She simply asks.

"Oh, please. We obviously don't think Beiste was hit by anybody. I mean, look at her, she's a wall." Santana simply said to her.

"Let me tell you something. I'm Coach Roz Washington. I'm an Olympic Champion, and I do not suffer fools! Especially fools who think domestic violence is funny. I want your names. Shannon! Write these names down as placeholders. Hatrack. Asian Horror Movie. Li'l Oprah. Rojo Caliente. Salsa Caliente. American Horror Story. You're on my list now, girls. You just watch what happens next." Coach Roz glares at us and walk away.

We start looking at each other. I didnt think that I did a mistake. I didnt laugh. I even didnt mock or making fun of coach Beiste. Coach Beiste is one of my adult friend and I wont do something like that.

I'm sitting down in front of my computer with my teddy doll on my lap and watch some science project video. I feel like I have nothing to do and actually I'm avoiding dad because of what happened to coach Beiste but I guess coach Roz already told dad and I'm afraid.

"Hey can I come?" Dad standing in front of my door.

"Y-yeah sure, dad." I nodded.

Dad walks in and sit down on the edge of my bed. "What are you doing?" Dad asks me.

"Umm watching science project. My homeworks already done and I have nothing to do." I said to dad.

"Can daddy ask you a question?" Dad asks me.

"About the insulting problem right?" I turn my face at dad.

"Yeah. Coach Roz told me and Coach Sue about that and she said that there was you there. I know coach Beiste just took it too easy and I cant believe if you do that." Dad says to me.

"I dont mean to defended myself but I didnt do that. And how could I do that? Coach Beiste is like the only one adult friend that I have. I told her many things. I know she is tough but someone always have their limit and mocking coach Beiste is not really my thing, dad. I didnt laugh. I swear. Because I concern with her too." I said to dad.

"But coach Roz said that it was out of the line." Dad says to me.

"Daddy trust me right? I know, you would ask me about this. But I didnt lie to you, dad." I said to dad.

"I'm sure my daughter isnt like that." Dad nodded.

"I will apologize to coach Beiste tomorrow." I half-smiled at dad.

"I just want to let you know that when a man hit a woman is a big deal not only some jokes even though coach Beiste is really tough but you cant do that to her, honey. Women were born to get protected and men were born to protect the women and if you were making fun of her, I would blame myself because I wasnt teach you a lesson about humanity." Dad says to me.

"But you did, dad. I will personally apologize to coach Beiste tomorrow. You really teach me a lesson tonight." I said to dad.

"Glad that you understand what I'm talking about." Dad smiles at me.

"I didnt pay much attention actually." I chuckle.

"Ugh liar. If you werent pay attention, you would turn your face to that computer not me." Dad chuckles and rubs my hair.

"Daddy, you disturb my time." I roll my eyes.

"What makes you really loves watch that science project?" Dad asks me.

"Because I cant watch FRIENDS when you are here. Go away." I groan.

"So you were watching FRIENDS? And in front of me you pretend that you were studying?" Dad raises his eyebrows at me.

"Sometimes. Or having skype with Mike." I grin at dad.

"Is it not enough to both of you meet at school?" Dad asks me.

"Nope." I shake my head. "Like you and mom never do the same thing." I roll my eyes.

"But when we were in high school. There was no skype only pager." Dad says to me.

"Poor you. So I bet that mostly you use letter." I simply said.

"Yeah. But it was more romantic than texting or skyping." Dad sighs and lay down in my bed.

"Yeah I know that you were a popular soccer player." I roll my eyes.

"With freckles on my forehead because of sweat and sunburn." Dad chuckles.

"Glad that Mike is always handsome even though he is a football player." I chuckle.

"Aww cheesy." Dad laughs.

I roll my eyes then turn my face to my computer. Dad is still laying down in my bed and I'm actually fine that since he is my father and since my parents divorced. When I cant sleep and have a nightmare, dad will be the only one who I come into.

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

I walk enter boys locker room and hold a paperbag with food inside. This is for coach Beiste as my apology thing. I bough her favorite food. Only for her.

"Coach Beiste?" I called her and show her that paperbag.

"What is that?" Coach Beiste asks me.

"Your lunch." I smile at her.

"I didnt order that." Coach Bieste frowns at me.

"But I did. Coach, I just want to apologize for what my friends and I did yesterday." I half-smiled at her.

"Sit down." Coach Beiste simply said. I'm just sitting down on a bench and looking at her. "I wasnt get hit by men. I just got hit by my workout machine. Cooter and I are fine." Coach Beiste says to me.

"Look, coach, you can always tell me everything you want to. We are like bestfriend right." I smile at her.

"Thank you, kiddo. I appreciate what you did to me. Your parents really good in raising you." Coach Beiste smiles back at me.

"So my apology accepted?"

"You dont need to apologize to me actually." Coach Beiste says to me.

"But I want to." I said to her and stand up from my seat as the football jocks walk in. "Later, coach." I smile at her and walk away.

I walk to the door to go out from boys locker room until suddenly someone blocks my way. I turn my face and Mike smirks at me.

"Let me go or I will scream out loud that you rape me." I simply said.

"Kiss me first." Mike smirks at me.

"Mickey." I chuckle.

"You want me to let you go out from here or not?" Mike smirks at me.

"Since when you become nasty like this huh?" I chuckle.

"What were you doing here?" Mike asks me.

"Talked with coach Beiste. Mike please, I have my cheerios right now. If you didnt let me go, coach Roz will yell at me." I said to him.

"I said kiss me first." Mike smirks at me.

"You're taller than me and I cant reach your face." I said to him.

Mike just smirks at me and pushes his face closer to me. I smirk back at him and push my face closer to him and look at his lips until his face really close to me. I kiss his cheek and laugh and walk away.

I turn around and Mike just chuckles. I chuckle and wave him a goodbye and walk away. The things is finally done. I apologized to coach Beiste and she forgive me.

"Hey, Paris do you wanna join and have little fashion show for our prom next week?" Tina asks me.

"Sure." I nodded.

"Alright, I'll see you after school." Tina waves me a goodbye and walk away.

Yes prom is next week and nationals is coming over then graduation. I cant wait for that but I dont want to separate with Mike just not yet. I'm still want to be with him. Even though we can have long distance relationship.

"I have this grey dress from my mom and I havent wear that yet." I said to Tina and Mercedes and shows them my dress.

"That's beautiful and I bet it will look pretty cute on you." Tina grins at me.

"Okay this dress and the sparkling grey hells. What do you guys think?" I ask them.

"Sparkling grey shoes like what?" Mercedes asks me.

I walk back to my walk in closet and looking for my sparkling grey hells and I cant find it. "I'm forget that my hells in my mom's house." I sigh and jump to my bed.

"Thats kinda weird when you said that." Mercedes says to me.

"I know that." I nodded.

"Paris!" Mom's voice shouts then she standing in front of my room door. "How many times I told you to lock the door when you're upstairs." Mom frowns at me.

"I kinda forget with that." I giggle. "What are you doing here?"

"I brough you food and some cereals. Though that your dad must be forget to buy that. Where is he?"

"Dad said that he will be home little bit late because he has meeting with school meeting board." I said to her and walk to follow her to downstairs.

"Alright, I just went here only to brough you these. I'll pick you up this Friday night okay." Mom kisses my head and walk away.

"Bye, mom." I wave her a goodbye and lock the front door and walk upstairs back to my room.

"Your mom always come here?" Tina asks me.

"Yeah sometimes my dad forgot to buy food stocks so I told my mom and she bought that for us." I nodded and sit down on my sofa on the corner.

"I'm thinking about matching my dress colour and my own wrist corsage." Mercedes grins at us.

"Ugh Mercedes, you have Sam. And you should tell him to give you a match wrist corsage." Tina says to Mercedes.

"I'm not sure that Sam will ask me." Mercedes giggles.

"Mercedes, there is something I want to talk to you." I said to Mercedes.

"What? Just say it out." Mercedes turns her face at me.

"During Michael week. Sam asked me to sang a song in auditorium then at the end of the song, he kissed me and told me that he likes me." I half-smiled at her.

"Does Mike know about this?" Tina asks me.

"I told him because I wasnt comfortable lied to him. Then we took a break until we got back together and we forgot that. It's just I feel so wrong. I dont mean to broke our friendship or something because I know that you and Sam are something. I'm really sorry for that." I half-smiled at Mercedes.

"Well, at least that your relationship with Mike is fine right? You dont have to apologize to me. The one who came to you was Sam. It means that he chooses you. Just take it slow. Nothing's break." Mercedes smiles at me.

"Sam is type of a guy who can easily fall into someone else." Tina frowns.

"But glad that I'm not type of that girl. I keep my heart for one and only Michael Robert Chang Jr." I grin at them.

"Aww cheesy." Tina chuckles.

I chuckle and hug my puppy. I cant wait for the prom. I cant wait to wear my beautiful dress and be the most beautiful girl that Mike probably gonna see there.

~~~~

"Already apologize to coach Beiste?" Dad asks me.

"Yep." I nodded and eat my food. "I brough her creamy pasta from Breadstix and she said that I dont need to apologize actually." I said to dad.

"I can see that." Dad nodded.

"I heard that Rachel flunked her NYADA audition." I said to dad.

"Yeah kind of. She choked during her audition and Madame Tibiedeaux just left. First she had wrong lyric then the second time she choked." Dad says to me.

"Oh God, that's pretty bad." I frown.

"Yeah I know that. It shouldnt be happen actually." Dad sighs and stand up from his seat.

"Just left the dishes, I will clean it up." I said to dad.

"Okay." Dad rubs my hair and walk away.

I stand up from my seat and put the dishes in the dishwasher and let the machine clean the dishes. After that I walk upstairs to my room and my laptop is ringing with skype call from Mike.

"Hey." I answer the call and close my room door.

"I'm hungry." Mike simply said.

"Mike, where are you? Isnt that in choir room?" I frown at him.

"We are planning to study all night to help Puck study." Mike says to me.

"Oh I see then." I nodded and lay flat in my bed and hugging my pillow.

"I'm sleepy and hungry." Mike sighs.

"Pick me up and I will come over there." I said to him.

"Like your dad will let you stay here with us. Only boys here." Mike frowns at me.

"Dad is already sleeping. He looks tired because of too much meeting. Well, I can drive now so I guess I can use his car." I grin at Mike.

"Bring us food!" Mike groans.

"I will. I'll be there." I said to him and close my laptop.

I stand up from my bed and take my money and put into my short pants pocket. I took my slipper shoes and wear that. It's spring time. Not really cold. I take my phone and walk out from my room.

I turn my face at dad's room and his room door is opened and he already fell asleep. Yeah it's almost midnight. He went home really late until we had late dinner.

I walk downstairs slowly and take dad's car key. I'm sorry, dad but I cant sleep or I cant let my boyfriend hungry. After that I walk out from my house and lock the door from outside. I get into dad's car and start driving.

I know I can finally drive but I havent get my license yet since dad said that I have to wait until I'm officially seventeenth.

I keep driving and turn dad's car to pizza drive thru and buy pizza for Mike and the boys. I pay the pizza and place the pizza on the seat next to me and drive to McKinley.

It's almost midnight so the street is not really full. I park the car in McKinley's building and get out from my car and hold the pizza boxes. I locked the car and get into McKinley building.

I walk in the empty hallways and it's kinda scared me actually but no. No ghosts around here. No ghosts. I keep walking then turn my way to the choir room.

"Pizza everyone!" I grin at them.

"Babe, I was kidding." Mike says to me.

"I dont care. I'm hungry." Puck simply said and take the pizza from my hand.

"That's fine. You also hungry right?" I said to him and walk to the seat row.

"How could you get in here?" Mike asks me and sit down next to me.

"I stole my dad's car. He fell asleep then I sneaked out from my house." I grin at him.

"I'm so sleepy." Mike sighs and lean his head on my shoulder.

"You really save our lifes." Blaine says to me and eat the pizza.

"You're welcome." I smile at them.

I put my hand around Mike's shoulder and rubs his back. I guess he's really sleepy since he used to sleep earlier than me because he always leave me fell asleep.

"Such a sleepyhead." Artie frowns and points at Mike.

"Really like my dad." I chuckle.

"I heard that." Mike protest and still leaning on my shoulder.

I chuckle and keep rubbing his back. Mike always said that I'm spoilt one but he doesnt realized that he is also the same one and I never mind with that.

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

I'm sitting down in front of the piano in choir room and waiting for Santana, Mercedes, and Brittany come. Tina, Sugar, and I aready here.

I eavesdrop a conversation between coach Beiste and coach Sue that coach Beiste been lying. She aint got hit by boxing in the gym but Cooter hit her because of dirty dishes.

So I told the girls and called coach Beiste to apologize for what we did to her. I cant believe that dishes can make someone got hit. This is really crazy and bad.

"Is she already here?" Mercedes, Santana, and Brittany walk in.

"Not yet." I shake my head.

"You girls wanted to see me?" Coach Beiste walks in.

We then stand up from our seat and sit down on the bench as coach Beiste sit down opposite us and looking at us.

"We wanted the chance to say that we're sorry, and we had no idea." I said to her.

"No idea that this was really happening to someone we care so much about." Mercedes says to her.

"And we're really proud of you for sticking up for yourself and getting out. And we owe you a song." Tina says to her.

Santana:Regrets collect like old friendsHere to relive your darkest momentsI can see no way, I can see no wayAnd all of the ghouls come out to play

"Thank you, girls. Thank you." Coach Beiste smiles at us and wipe her tears away.

"Get over here." I chuckle and hug her until the others follow me to hug her.

Finally one thing is finally done. I just hope that I wont have a husband like that. But I'm pretty sure that Mike isnt like that. Maybe only mad at me with some parts.
