6 Years Later | Madison's POV
Hi. My name is Madison Collins. I'm 17 years old and guesss where the hell I am now? Back to USA. And now I'm in Lima, Ohio and this is cool.
Yeah even though I'm not going back to Montreal when actually I really want to but that's fine. I got my happiness here.
It's been a week I moved to Lima and I havent go to school yet but maybe on Monday I will go to school.
I'm on Junior year and dad send me to William McKinley High School and I really hope that I will have a lot of new friends there.
And today I got a chance to watch 2011 Midwest Regionals Championship. It's a show choir championship and since my dad is the director so I got a chance to follow him here and watch that.
"Hey, you're here." Aaron standing next to me.
Aaron Cordon. He is my boyfriend and we've been dating since two months ago. He is a freshman college student and he has his part time job with dad's company.
He is lives in Colombus. We started this relationship by online dating and skype until one week ago, we met directly and hanging out together.
"That Dalton Academy is cool." I said to Aaron.
"I know that. They has their class." Aaron says to me.
That Dalton Academy sang Candles by Hey Monday. I'm enjoying the performance by standing on the back row of the audience seat.
Aaron standing next to me and put his hand around my shoulder but suddenly someone came to my mind. When I heard this song, I remember Finn.
I dont know where is he now. I send him letter to Montreal but no answer and since I moved to London, he never send me letter and maybe he mad at me because I left before saying goodbye to him.
I remember when Finn and I had a camping in his backyard and we light up the candle outside around our tend and we used flashlight as our lights inside our tend. Such a beautiful moment.
Dalton Academy finish their song and I didnt know that they can sing more than one song and they start singing Raise Your Glass by P!nk and that's cool.
"I really want to join the glee club." I said to Aaron.
"In my university, glee club is the lowest club there." Aaron answer.
"But they're cool. Or maybe shall I tell my dad to let me study in Dalton Academy?" I raise my eyebrows.
"Babe, Dalton Academy is a boarding school for boys. No girl allowed. You just lived in Ohio about one week okay." Aaron rolls his eyes.
"It's Lima actually." I said to him.
"Lima is the city of Ohio." Aaron rolls his eyes.
"I see." I nodded.
"And now, from William McKinley High in Lima, Ohio the New Directions!"
"They said William McKinley High School right?" I raise my eyebrows at Aaron.
"Yes, and why?" Aaron asks me.
"That's my new school. I havent go there but dad sends me to that school and yes I will go to that school this monday." I said to Aaron.
"Cool then." Aaron smiles at me.
I turn my face go back to the stage and a brunette girl is singing with a standing microphone and I guess she sings an original song since I never heard this song before.
"She has a good voice." Aaron says.
"I will join the glee club. What is called? New what?"
"New Directions, baby. I guess, their reputation as same as Dalton Academy." Aaron says to me. "Your dad called us. Come on." Aaron takes my hand.
I walk behind him as that girl ended up her song and a lot of applause from the audience filling this auditorium.
I keep walking to another place but I'm still can heard the song that this New Directions sing and they really sing an original song.
"Is there any problem, Mr. Collins?" Aaron asks dad.
"Aaron, can you go to the judges room and tell their assistant that the winner announcement is right after this performance." Dad says to Aaron.
"Okay." Aaron simply said and walk off.
"What is like being the director of a live show like this?" I ask dad.
"No cut, no replay. But glad that it's not live on tv." Dad chuckles. "Honey, your hungry? There is some snacks in my office. You skipped breakfast this morning."
"Not really, I got a lot of ton dinner last night. Dad, where is the toilet?" I ask dad.
"Over there near the green room." Dad says to me.
"Alright, I'll be back." I nodded and walk off to the toilet.
I walk off from this auditorium and walk in the hallways and looking for the toilet until I see those New Directions members walk passed me from the left side.
"Excuse me, did you know where is the toilet?" I ask an asian girl who I guess that also is their member.
"Just walk down straight then turn right." She said and walk off.
"Thank you." I said and keep walking pass that hall junctions where those performer came out from the backstage.
"That song was for Finn and Quinn?"
I turn my face and a latina girl is talking with a black girl. They wore the same dress like those New Directions's girl member.
But what they were talking about? They called Finn? I keep looking at them and they all enter the green room. But Finn? Is he here? No, imposibble Madison. He is in Montreal and there are thousand people in this earth named 'Finn'.
I keep walking and enter the toilet to take a pee and fix my hair. After that I went out from the toilet and turn my way to dad's office because I'm little bit hungry.
I'm still thinking about what those girl said. I meant, they called Finn's name and I've been looking for him since 6 years ago and miss him like crazy.
I went out from dad's office after eating the snack and turn my way back to the auditorium but sadly that winner announcement already begin.
"Who is the winner?" I asked Aaron.
"Your school." Aaron says to me.
"See? They're not the lowest club. I will join the glee club." I said to Aaron.
"Whatever you want." Aaron smiles at me.
I smile back at him and hold his elbow. He is two years older than me and for me he is not only a boyfriend but he is alos a brother since he is wiser than me and he let me do anything I want to do.
"You wanna go home now?" Aaron asks me. "Your dad must be still busy."
"Sure." I nodded.
"Alright." Aaron says and walks lead me.
I keep Aaron's elbow as we walk off from this auditorium and I really cant wait for this Monday to start a new day at a new school.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I put my book into my locker. First day at a new school and everything seems fine. One more period and I will end up today with a great day.
"Hey, girl. You're new?" A mohawk guy smirks at me by standing next to my locker.
"Yeah." I simply said.
"I told you not to flirt with another girl!" A fat guy with glasses interupts us and takes that mohawk guy's hand and walks lead him.
"I'm Puck, by the way!" He shouts.
I roll my eyes and go back to turn my face back to my locker. I didnt get a new friend here but at least that I aint get any trouble here.
I put my book into my bag for the last period then shut my locker and turn my way to girls toilet to put a lip balm on my lips.
This school has many clubs and I'm confuse what club I want to join. In my previous school, I joined the arts club and the basketball club but now I have no direction.
I walk enter the girls toilet and take out my case from my bag and start putting the lip balm on my lips.
Suddenly a brunette girl who has a solo on regionals went out from a closet and wash her hands.
"Hey." I smile at her.
"Hey, me?" She raises her eyebrows.
"Yeah." I nodded.
"Okay, you're not a part of the cheerios who is trying to slushie me by saying hey to me or anything right?" She asks me.
"I'm new. A new junior actually. It's my first day here and I saw your performance on regionals and I like that." I smile at her.
"Really? Thank you. That song was for my ex boyfriend who dating a bitch." She said to me.
"Cool. I'd like to join the glee club. When the rehearsal begin?" I ask her.
"Come to choir room today at 3pm. Or you can meet Mr. Schuester." She said to me.
"Wow thanks. I'm Madison Collins by the way." I show my hand to her.
"Rachel Berry." She shakes my hand.
"Well I have a class now. Talk to you later." I wave her a goodbye and walk off.
I walk off from the toilet and looking for my classroom. Spanish Class. For the entire of my life I never learn Spanish and now I will learn it.
I finally found my class and enter my class then sit down on the front until a teacher walks in.
I read my schedule and read his name and he is Mr. Will Schuester. So he is also the one who run that glee club. I will ask him after this class.
2 hours later
The bells rings.
I place my book inside my bag include my pencil case then I left my table and walk to the front as Mr. Schuester is still arrange his books.
"Mr. Schuester?" I called him.
"Yes?" He turn his face at me and raise his eyebrows.
"I'm Madison Collins and I'd like to join the glee club. I watched your glee club performance this Saturday for the regionals and I'd like to join." I said to him.
"Wow thank you so much. That's means a lot to me. Come to the choir room after this and prepare the song that you want to sing. See you." Mr. Schuester smiles at me and walks off.
I'm just smiling and then walk off from this classroom. I turn my way to my locker and put my book inside my locker.
I take a look at myself from a mini mirror inside my locker after that I shut my locker and walk in the hallways and looking for the choir room.
I keep walking and looking for the choir room until I read a sign where is the choir room. I keep following that sign and I finally found the choir room.
I'm standing in front of the choir room's door and see those members already inside and they talking to each other. I really want to enter but I dont have any guts to.
"Hey come on in." Rachel smiles at me and takes my hand.
"I'm afraid." I whisper at her.
"Dont be. Come on. Mr. Schue might be late." Rachel keep holding my hand and walk lead me. "Guys, someone want to join our glee club." Rachel says to the others.
"Wow. You can introduce your name to us." A black girl says to me.
"Yeah." Rachel nodded.
"Well, I'm Madison Collins and I'm...."
"Finn Hudson! We havent finish talk!" A girl shouts behind me.
I turn my face and frown. I see a big guy wearing a white hoodie with black tshirt standing frozen and frown at me.
I keep frowning to that guy and it seems like my ears heard someone called Finn's name. I keep frowning and standing frozen while looking at that guy from head to toe.
"M-Maddy?" He raises his eyebrows.
"F-Finn? Finn Christopher Hudson?" I raise my eyebrows.
"Damn! God! Is that really you?" He walks closer to me.
"Y-Yeah it's me." I smile nervously.
"I miss you so bad!" Finn suddenly hugs me really tight.
"I miss you too!" I hug him back.
God. I cant believe that he is back. No, not him but I'm back. I mean after all this time I've been looking for him for a long time and now he is here in Lima with me again.
Finn's POV
"You support Rachel when she sang that song right?" Quinn glares at me.
"I dont wanna talk about that." I simply said and walk away until I got into the choir room.
I enter the choir room a brunette girl is standing on the front and seems like she is new.
"Well, I'm Madison Collins and I'm..."
What? Her name is Madison? Is it her? Is it really her? I stop my way and standing frozen.
"Finn Hudson! We havent finish talk!" Quinn shouts.
That girl turn her face and frowns at me. I keep frowning at her and looking at her from head to toe. Her eyes and her face reminds me with someone. She really looks like Madison.
"M-Maddy?" I raise my eyebrows.
"F-Finn? Finn Christopher Hudson?" She raise her eyebrows.
"Damn! God! Is that really you?" I walk closer to her.
"Y-Yeah it's me." She chuckles
"I miss you so bad!" I come to her and hug her really tight.
"I miss you too!" She hug me back.
God, I really wanna cry right now. I mean, she is back. After all this time and she is back and she is here with me. In Lima. I've been missing her like crazy.
"Hold up, hold up. You guys already know each other?" Santana asks us.
"Yeah. We've been friends since two years old. We were neighboor when we were in Montreal. Madison's room and my room are opposite." I said to them.
"Yeah we are like best friend." Madison says to them.
"What are you doing here?" I ask her.
"I want to join the glee club since I saw you guys performance on regionals this saturday." She said to me.
"You cant sing, Maddy." I frown at her.
"Oh I can, even better than you. You dont remember my dad's job, Finn?" She raises her eyebrows at me.
"Of course I remember that." I roll my eyes.
"Sorry I'm late, guys. Wow you already make new friends here, Madison?" Mr. Schue walks in and smiles at Madison.
"She is my childhood neighbor." I said to Mr. Schue.
"Well, you have to get an audition first to get in so take the floor, Madison." Mr. Schue says to her and sit down on the front.
I left her and sit down on the middle row. I can feel that Quinn cant stop give her a death stare and glares at me but I dont care. I'm just really happy today.
"Just call me, Maddy." Madison smiles at us. "Well, I'd like to sing Candles by Hey Monday because this is one of my favorite song." Madison says and nodded to the band.
I just give her a smile. And the music begin. I remember that we love to blow up the candles. And that day, we had a camping on my backyard and we lighted up the candles around our tend and use the flashlight inside our tend.
Madison:
The power lines went out
And I am all alone
But I don't really care at all
Not answering my phone
All the games you played
The promises you made
Couldn't finish what you started
Only darkness still remains
Lost sight
Couldn't see
When it was you and me
Blow the candles out
Looks like a solo tonight
I'm beginning to see the light
Blow the candles out
Looks like a solo tonight
But I think I'll be alright
Been black and blue before
There's no need to explain
I am not the jaded kind
Playback's such a waste
You're invisible
Invisible to me
My wish is coming true
Erase the memory of your face
Lost sight
Couldn't see
When it was you and me
Blow the candles out
Looks like a solo tonight
I'm beginning to see the light
Blow the candles out
Looks like a solo tonight
But I think I'll be alright
One day
You will wake up
With nothing but "you're sorrys"
And someday
You will get back
Everything you gave me
Blow the candles out
Looks like a solo tonight
I'm beginning to see the light
Blow the candles out
Looks like a solo tonight
But I think I'll be alright
I'm smiling as Madison ended up her song and I give her applause. I turn my face and the others also applauding for her except Quinn who glares at her.
"Wow that was amazing. Well, welcome to the glee club, Madison." Mr. Schue applauding.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Schuester." Madison is smiling.
"She can do that easily because her father is a music producer in Sony Music." I roll my eyes.
"Finn....." Madison pouted at me.
"Ups. I'm sorry." I cover my mouth with my hand.
"I already know about that. Your father is Michael Collins right? I red your data and today is your first day enter this school so once again welcome to McKinley." Mr. Schue says to her.
"Thank you once again." She smiles at us and sit down on the front row next to Brittany.
I never know that she could grow up and become more beautiful than when she was little. I even still remember when I brave myself to kissed her and it was stupid and she might be still mad at me because of that.
Madison's POV
I sit down on the front row next to a blonde girl. I mean a blonde girl who holding hands with the guy on the wheelchair not the one who came with Finn and cant stop give me a death stare. Finn's girlfriend? Maybe.
I didnt know that Finn become that big because when we were eleventh, I'm taller than him and he is become more cute now.
"Well guys, since we are going to face nationals in New York. So we will held a booty camp again starting tomorrow to improve the dance skills. Mike and Brittany will lead us and no excuse." Mr. Schuester says to us. "Any question?"
I raise my hands. "What is booty camp? Is it kind of camping or something?" I frown.
"Your butt get into a tend but only your butt." A mohawk guy laughs.
The others start laughing. I just frown and turn my face at Finn and he just rolls his eyes.
"It's to improve your dance skills, Madison." Mr. Schuester smiles at me.
"I see." I nodded.
"Well, dont forget for the booty camp tomorrow and for now class dismissed." Mr. Schuester says to us.
I take my ransel and wear it on my back then went out from the choir room. My mind still wondering with the booty camp looks like.
"Hey, wanna drive you home?" Finn suddenly walks next to me.
"Where do you live?" I ask Finn.
"415 Whitman Avenue." Finn simply said.
I frown and suddenly laughs so hard. "So you were the guy who make out near your window last night. Eww that was disgusting." I laugh.
"What?" Finn frown. "How could you know that?"
"I lived 417 Whitman Avenue. Right next to you." I simply said.
"We back to being a neighbor again?" Finn frowns at me.
"Yes. We back to Montreal." I chuckle.
"Finn, you want to leave me?" That blonde girl suddenly interupts us and takes Finn's hand.
Finn turns his face at me and raises his eyebrows. "That's okay, I brough my car." I said to Finn.
"Come to my house this evening okay. My mom must be happy." Finn says to me and walk off with that blonde girl.
"See you." I wave him a goodbye and turn my way to the parking lot.
I let out a sigh and keep walking until I got to the parking lot. I enter my car and start driving away.
Finn's POV
"See you!" Madison says and walk off.
Quinn keeps holding my hand and walks lead me. I turn my face and Madison is walking alone.
I let out a sigh and keep walking with Quinn. I dont know but I feel like my life is back and I dont wanna lose it anymore.
"Who is she? And why you never tell me about her?" Quinn asks me.
"She is my best friend. Six year ago, she moved to London and you know that I moved to Lima when I entered high school right so we met again." I said to Quinn.
"Listen, Finn. You're my boyfriend. I dont care she is your best friend or anything. But the fact you're mine. That's it." Quinn glares at me.
I didnt say anything but keep walking with Quinn. She doesnt know that Madison was my first kiss not her. My friendship with Madison is number one than anything else.
