Chapter 25

I went home. And went upstairs into my room.

I'm crying as I sing my favorite song

White lips, pale faceBreathing in snowflakesBurnt lungs, sour tasteLight's gone, day's endStruggling to pay rentLong nights, strange men

And they sayShe's in the Class A TeamStuck in her daydreamBeen this way since eighteenBut lately her face seemsSlowly sinking, wastingCrumbling like pastries

And they screamThe worst things in life come free to us'Cause we're just under the upper handAnd go mad for a couple gramsAnd she don't want to go outside tonightAnd in a pipe she flies to the MotherlandOr sells love to another manIt's too cold outsideFor angels to flyAngels to fly

Ripped gloves, raincoatTried to swim and stay afloatDry house, wet clothesLoose change, bank notesWeary-eyed, dry throatCall girl, no phone

And they sayShe's in the Class A TeamStuck in her daydreamBeen this way since eighteenBut lately her face seemsSlowly sinking, wastingCrumbling like pastries

And they screamThe worst things in life come free to us'Cause we're just under the upper handAnd go mad for a couple gramsAnd she don't want to go outside tonightAnd in a pipe she flies to the MotherlandOr sells love to another manIt's too cold outsideFor angels to flyAn angel will dieCovered in whiteClosed eyeAnd hoping for a better lifeThis time, we'll fade out tonightStraight down the line

And they sayShe's in the Class A TeamStuck in her daydreamBeen this way since eighteenBut lately her face seemsSlowly sinking, wastingCrumbling like pastries

They screamThe worst things in life come free to usAnd we're all under the upper handGo mad for a couple gramsAnd we don't want to go outside tonightAnd in a pipe we fly to the MotherlandOr sell love to another manIt's too cold outsideFor angels to flyAngels to flyTo fly, flyFor angels to fly, to fly, to flyFor angels to die

I stop singing as someone opened my door and hug me.

"Tell me. What's wrong?" Finn still hug me.

"I-I cant see Puck with another girl. He just dated Kitty and I cant believe that. I still love him." I'm crying.

"Ssshhhh I will talk to him. Dont be sad. It must be something wrong between him and Jake. Stop crying Aby, I hate seeing you cry." Finn wipe my tears.

"Thank you for always be here for me. I dont know what will happen with my life without you." I smiled.

"You dont need to." Finn hug me again and kiss my forehead.

I dont wanna let Finn go. So I still hug him until my eyes close and I fall asleep in my non-biological brother arm.

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

"Aby are you okay?" Sam hug me as I enter the choir room.

"I'm okay Sam." I smiled.

"Just wondering that you have an accidentaly stomach attack so we were worried about you and you didnt see our group chat." Artie said.

"Sorry. I went home and fall asleep until this morning." I fake-smiled.

I hope Finn wouldnt tell the others about what happened to me yesterday.

"Well you already ask someone for Sadie Hawkins?" Sam asked.

"I asked Ryder." I pointed at Ryder and he gave me a wink.

Sam looked so sad.

"I can canceled it if you want to." I whispered to Sam.

"No. Brittany just asked me." Sam whispered back.

"That's great." I high-five with him.

Finn comes to choir room and smiled as he saw me smiled and sits in between Ryder and Sam.

"Finn can I show something?" Jake asks.

"Sure Jake." Finn sits behind me and hug me from behind as we are going to watch Jake sings.

He woke up from dreaming and put on his shoesStarted making his way past 2 in the morningHe hasn't been sober for days

Leaning now into the breezeRemembering Sunday, he falls to his kneesThey had breakfast togetherBut two eggs don't lastLike the feeling of what he needs

Now this place seems familiar to himShe pulled on his hand with a devilish grinShe led him upstairs, she led him upstairsLeft him dying to get in

Forgive me, I'm trying to findMy calling, I'm calling at nightI don't mean to be a bother,But have you seen this girl?She's been running through my dreamsAnd it's driving me crazy, it seemsI'm going to ask her to marry me

Even though she doesn't believe in love,He's determined to call her bluffWho could deny these butterflies?They're filling his gut

Waking the neighbors, unfamiliar facesHe pleads though he triesBut he's only deniedNow he's dying to get inside

Forgive me, I'm trying to findMy calling, I'm calling at nightI don't mean to be a bother,But have you seen this girl?She's been running through my dreamsAnd it's driving me crazy, it seemsI'm going to ask her to marry me

The neighbors said she moved awayFunny how it rained all dayI didn't think much of it thenBut it's starting to all make sense

Oh, I can see now that all of these cloudsAre following me in my desperate endeavorTo find my whoever, wherever she may be

We cheering and clapping as Jake finished his song.

But is that for Marley? I dont know.

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

Glee club just over and I have lunch. I walked to cafetaria with Marley.

She's nice and I think she can be friends with me.

"Hey mom." Marley greeted the woman who gave us food.

"Hey sweety. And hello Abygail." She smiled at me.

"Hey Millie and yummy food." I chuckled and smiled at her.

I walked off to the glee club tables.

Ryder save a space for to sit beside him.

I smiled at him.

He smiled back.

Is it true about what Brittany said that he has crush on me?

He's nice, sweet, tall and I love his hair but I only like him as a friend. Only a friend.

Jake come over to me give me a paper note

That song I was singing it was a messages from Puck for you.

I puts the paper into my pocket and give him a half-smile.

After had lunch with the rest of glee club, I walked to the hallway with Marley until Ryder pass us and give me a wink.

Marley giggled.

I roll my eyes.

"You know what? He has crush on you!" Marley said.

"But I dont have crush on anybody since I broke up with one of the Puckerman." I said innocently.

"Hey Marley, you know that Jake has crush on you right?" I asked.

She nodded "but I dont have any chance to tell him that I feel the same way."

"You should tell him or he will get kidnapped by his Puckerman brother and teach him to dumb every girl." I chuckled.

"It seems like you still love Jake's brother." Marley giggled.

"No I dont." I smiled. I lied. You're such a good liar Abygail.

Brittany suddenly stop us.

"Marley, do you free after school?" Brittany asks.

"Yes." Marley nodded.

"Okay I need you." Brittany said as she grabs Marley hands and give me a good bye.

Another Fondue For Two.
