:D
Yey! and update!
Warnings: Violent hitting, an angry Finn and lines taken from the episode "Feud". All words are credited to the writers of Glee and to Cory for saying them.
3 Cory.
P.S I totally forget how old Finn was when his Dad left, but I think on the show its stated that he was 3 when his father left. So i'm sticking to that plan.
Father's Day.
Marley turned and walked over to her Moms gave. She kneeled down, pressed two fingers into her lips and pressed her fingers onto the grave. "Bye Mom, I love you. See you next week."
Soon the two of them, Finn and Marley, hands clutched together, ran out of the cemetery and forward to the Rose residence.
At the Rose residence, finding it bare of humans and filled with cats (according to Marley, Ben owned at least thirty of them), Marley found her downstairs TV broken.
"Are you good with fixing things?" She asked.
"Uh not so much with TVs." Finn admitted.
"Okay...well the only other one is in my room. Ben plugged it in when he moved in. Come on." Marley said going up the stairs of her house.
Finn followed behind, feeling a bit awkward. He was basically a teacher at the school and was entering a students bedroom. But then again it was just the two of them watching a movie so it wasn't too weird, right?
Upon entering Marley's bedroom Finn found a wooden floor style room with white walls, a large pink bed that had a bookcase behind it, filled with millions of books and several child-like things like stuffed animals and a ballerina wind-up toy that spun on her toe. Across from the bed was a long table-like stand with an old school 1990's TV set with a VHS set below on the second shelf.
"Marley's brought back the 90's!" Finn yelled in cheer. "All we need a burger phone."
"Will a cat telephone be okay?" Marley asked holding up a telephone in the form of a cat.
"Lemme guess—" Finn started.
"Ben." They both finished.
About ten minutes later laying on her bed with their cheeze doodles in a large plastic bowl, the two teens were watching Alice in Wonerland.
"Want anything to drink? Ben went shopping two nights ago so we have a full house."
"What do you have?"
"Dr. Pepper, Diet Coke, grape juice, apple juice, tomato juice—"
"Tomato juice?" Finn questioned.
"Ben."
"Oh, okay... I'll help myself." Finn said as he got up and left the room.
Downstairs Finn rummaged through the kitchen looking for some cups, the Dr. Pepper and a couple of other snacks to munch on. Once he got a couple of munchies and began leaving for upstairs. The telephone rang and the I.D read: Rose, Albert.
"Marley!" Finn called up the stairs. "It's Albert calling!"
"Don't answer it, please!" Marley yelled back.
Finn said OK, then waited for the phone to stop. If Albert called again he'd would answer it and tell him to stop harassing Marley. The phone stopped and didn't ring again.
Finn walked passed the living room and looked out the window casually, spotting the decent rich car from earlier in front of the Rose residence. He saw Albert walking up the path to the door. Finn dropped all the food and went to the door.
Before Albert could knock, Finn opened the door.
"Oh its you again, from today." Albert said. "Is Marley here?"
"Honestly?" Finn asked.
"She is, isn't she? Can I speak to her?" Albert asked.
"No. She doesn't want to talk to you."
"Look sir, Marley just needs to hear me out and I'm willing to do it."
"Now?" Finn asked. "After eleven years, ditching your child for eleven years, you think she'll want to hear you now?
"I just need a second chance with her. Come on buddy, give me a second with her—"
"Albert listen to me. I agree with you; Marley should talk to you." Finn said. Albert, smiling, tried to enter but Finn pushed him back. "However I respect Marley. She's a nice girl and reminds me of a girlfriend I once had and I'd do anything for her. Same for Marley. And if she doesn't want to talk to you, than I'm going to make sure you don't go near her."
"I tried calling her twenty times already, she won't answer! I just need ten minutes."
"One minute for each year you left, plus one extra? Touchy." Finn said. "Now leave."
"I want to speak to her." Albert said. "Let me just see her and—"
"No, get away."
"She's under eighteen, right?"
"Does it matter?"
"I can take her, you know." Albert said. "I can take her for parental reasons."
"You may be the sperm parent, but your not her parent. You weren't there when she started kindergarten at age six. You weren't there to hold her hand and help her when she needed help. You weren't there when she won the third grade spelling bee class for spelling some stupid word that's related to science and you only guessed the letters." Finn stopped, realizing he was thinking of his own father-less life. His dad only left when he was about three.
"You weren't there when in sixth grade girls were mocking her because of her mother's occupation and physical traits. You weren't there when she was a freshmen with no friends and ridiculed by classmates about clothes or shit. Albert, were you the one who made pretty clothes by sewing them for your child? Were you the one who transferred from one school to another school at the start of sophomore year do that Marley was given a better chance at having friends? Did you offer to drop her off down the street three miles away so that nobody saw her with your physical traits?"
Albert stood still. "No, But I—"
"Oh and my favorite!" Finn yelled sarcastically, without thinking of his words. "Is when you were there when Marley got sick and passed out on stage!"
"WHAT!?" Albert yelled in alarm.
"Shi...sorry, that was me." Finn noted. "I'm comparing my childhood to hers...we're kind of the same."
"Marley's anorexic, isn't she?" Albert continued. "Step aside and let me in!"
Finn blocked off Albert from entering. "No, now get out."
"Let me in!" Albert yelled.
"No."
"Sir, let me in."
"Why? You don't care about her. You just care about her now because her mother isn't around to tell you to back off."
"I'm only here because Alexandra told me that I should meet my daughter. Now if you don't mind—"
"Alexandra told you to come?" Finn laughed. "That's funny... I would think a parent would come for their child."
"Look you know what I mean. Now let me in—"
"Shut your mouth." Finn said a bit darkly. "After tonight you're a ghost. You disappear from her life forever. No goodbyes. Nothing!"
"She is my daughter and I love her like how every father should."
"But she doesn't really even know who you are." Finn replied. "Your just some guy who was there, then gone for over ten years, and suddenly comes back and expects like nothing changed."
"Look if it makes things better I hired a private detective to follow her around and give me information!" Albert yelled. "I know everything about Marley. I got all the information I needed last month."
"How come you didn't know about her passing out on stage again?" Finn questioned.
"Look—"
Finn punched Albert in the face. He then jumped on top of the guy and tackled him. Kicking, punching and making other grunt noises. Albert was too weak.
Once finished Finn held up Albert by the shirt. "You leave. Right now. Or I swear to God," Finn went face-to-face. "I will make sure you suffer. Understand?"
Albert nodded. "Can—can I leave a card?"
Finn nodded. "Just like last time."
Finn set Albert down. Albert handed the card to Finn, who took it and waited to make sure Albert left. When he knew Albert was gone, Finn turned around. He faced up and found Marley at the door.
Tears down her face.
"Marley—"
Marley slammed the door shut, and locked it. Finn ran to the door and knocked loudly.
