So... for those who could be reading my other Glee fic, 'Corrupted', this is why it hasn't been update in a while. :) Ha ha, so I had this idea a while ago... like a month ago is more like it, about what Quinn and Puck's daughter would be like when she's their age. And then I thought of the most perfect scenario... and then had to mess it up. Because I'm awesome like that. And then the prolouge came to me, which was the girl talking about her family. So I wrote it down and then the whole story came to me. A couple of weeks later on a Thursday night, I wrote chapter 1. Friday I wrote two more chapters and now I've almost finished writing it. Of course before I continue any further, I wanna know if it's going to be well liked or not, so this is me giving it a test run. Yay! And is there anything else I need to say? I don't think so, other than the fact that the rest of the story won't be told in first person. So read and enjoy!
Prologue
I had a family, a pretty good family. About all I could remember of them anyways, but it wasn't always the best family a kid could ask for. Sure, I have a mom and a dad, uncles and aunts and all that, but around my fifth birthday it was just mom and me, without any reasons why. Mom always said when I asked that I'm too young to understand why they all left me, but I can't help but wonder that maybe something tore them apart.
Or someone.
I know I'm different from my classmates. I'm 15 years old and the only one who is half her mother's age. Yes, when my mom was about 16 I was born. That's one of the reasons why I don't have a proper family. My grandparents threw my mom out when they found out about me and she stayed with her boyfriend for a while, until word got out about something. Who my real dad was. This much mom tells me, but she goes on saying everything went on for the best because Uncle Finn still helped mom and dad when I was born and they made him my godparent along with Aunt Rachel. Is it weird I refer to them as my uncle and aunt? That's just how I remember them by and what I called them when I was younger.
Moving on, the whole thing basically blew up in my mom's face when everyone found out dad, or Noah or Puck as mom calls him, was my father. About 5 months pregnant with me and it's probably a good thing that happened as I'm nothing like Finn. Mom talks about him constantly too and from the stories she's told me there is no way she could have passed him off as my dad. I mean, I'm my father's child, my skin is slightly darker than my mom's, I'm not blonde like her and a trouble maker like my dad.
She bursts into tears when she says this.
Getting back to the story, no one left mom and dad when they finally found out the truth. In fact everyone stuck by her, Kurt, Mercedes, Artie, Tina and the rest of the Glee club. Apparently they were there for her the day I was born. Which was the day mom almost lost me.
This is the part when the family started breaking apart. Something happened that day and my mom never got over it. Sure for the next five years I had a pretty good family, but mom was going to the community college as was dad, the rest of my family going all over the country to different universities. But they always came back during the summer to visit me. I remember my fourth summer, the last time I saw them all together. We were all happy in my parents house. Dad proposed to mom then, doing my calculations right they were twenty then. I didn't realise that dad was asking mom to marry him and have the perfect family. I thought dad had said something mean to mom because she burst into tears, started saying no a lot, ran for me and we left the house in her car. Upon returning home, everyone was gone. So was dad and I never saw him again.
Now there are just too many questions I have about my family that mom won't answer. I need to find my dad, find out why he didn't stay and fight for mom. Also maybe he has an idea why she didn't want to marry him. Also why the rest of my family left me.
My name is Amber Fabray and I'm going to get these answers.
Dun, dun, dun! So anyways that's the background story that shall be explored more as the story progresses. Yes, it is something like the movie which is why it has the same name, otherwise it was going to be called 'Amber' which I didn't want to do... And don't ask about the name, 'cause I don't know why I called her that anyways. I like the name, ok? Let me know your thoughts!
