I was in the choir room practicing by myself. I had a song on my mind that I really wanted to sing.

Father's hands are lined with dirt from long days in the field
And mother's hands are serving meals in a café on Main Street
With mouths to feed, just trying to keep clothing on our backs
And all I hear about is how it's so bad, it's so bad

It's too bad, it's stupid so wrong so long
It's too bad that we had no time to rewind let's walk let's talk
So bad it's bad it's stupid so wrong so long
It's too bad that we had no time to rewind let's walk let's talk

Father's hands are lined with guilt for tearing us apart
I guess it turned out in the end, just look at where we are
We made it out, we still got clothing on our backs
And now I scream about it and how it's so bad, it's so bad, it's so bad

It's too bad, it's stupid so wrong so long
It's too bad that we had no time to rewind let's walk let's talk
So bad it's bad it's stupid so wrong so long
It's too bad that we had no time to rewind let's walk let's talk
No time, let's walk let's talk

Needless to say, I was still pissed off at my dad. The incident was triggered by a memory of the father-daughter dance in middle school. Pretty much every other girl had her dad at least had a dad come to it, even if they were divorced. I was the subject of everyone's sympathy and it was all just a lie. It's the kind of lie that really is almost impossible to forgive. Didn't he realize that all coming back would do was hurt me.

Later in the day, Mr. Schue said that we were having a special guest in Glee Club. It turned out to be a professional actor, and by that he meant Blaine's brother Cooper who was in credit report commercials, which by the way are absolute rip-offs. I probably could have gotten someone better if I really wanted to. You know I think that I might invite the cast to my graduation. I don't know if anyone will show up, but it's worth a shot. It would be cool if any one of them was here.

So apparently Sue wanted to help run the Glee Club. However, through a unanimous vote, we all agreed that we did not want her helping Glee Club and the idea was vetoed. I love democracy.

I couldn't help but notice that Blaine did not look happy about his brother being there. I wonder if his issues were anything like the ones that I had with my dad. I guess it was possible that I wasn't the only one in the Glee Club who had family issues.

"So my dad actually had the balls to me a wedding invite." Lucy told me as soon as we got home and she looked over the mail. I couldn't believe that they were getting married so soon. If it happened, she and Clara were going to be stepsisters.

"Are we talking about how we're not going to dad's wedding?" Frannie asked as she came down the stairs. "I can't believe that he wants us to meet his trampy fiancée."

"That's my best friend's mom." I remarked. "She's not a tramp."

"Okay, I'm sorry about that." The older Fabray declared. "What I'm trying to say is that I am not interested in seeing my dad, who pressured me to get married before I had sex, get married, especially after he cheated on Mom. Not to mention, he pressured Lucy into developing an eating disorder. I wanted to talk and stop the BS years ago."

Another thing that was happening this was Senior Skip Day. I happened to think that the name was pretty self-explanatory. I hadn't realized that it was now instead of a more obvious date like the Friday before prom. I don't know whose idea it was to have it now, but prom was definite not this weekend. I would probably still participate in it. I knew that Six Flags would be open. We could go with Clara and Dani. I wonder if we could even take Avvie to her first day at the amusement park. I mean the two of us could take turns taking care of her while the other goes on roller coasters.

So in Glee, Blaine decided to sing something. I wondered if he was possibly singing about his brother, or maybe he was having problems with Kurt by what the song was about.

You whisper that you are getting tired
Got a look in your eye that looks a lot like goodbye
Hold onto your secrets tonight
Don't wanna know I'm okay with this silence, the truth that I don't wanna wear

You're hiding regret in your smile
And there's a storm in your eyes I've seen coming for a while
Hang onto the past tense tonight
Don't say a word I'm okay with the quiet, the truth is gonna change everything

So lie to me and tell me that it's gonna be alright
Lie to me and tell me that we'll make it through the night
I don't mind if you wait before you tear me apart
But look me in the eye and lie, lie, lie

Don't wanna believe in this ending, let the cameras roll on keep pretending
Tomorrow's all wrong if you walk away, just stay

So lie to me and tell me that it's gonna be alright
Lie to me and tell me that we'll make it through the night
I don't mind if you wait before you tear me apart
Look me in the eye and lie, lie, lie
So lie to me and tell me that's gonna be okay
Lie to me and tell me that we'll make it through the day
I don't mind if you wait before you tear me apart
Look me in the eye and lie, lie, lie

I decided it would be best to talk about it with Kurt.

"So how are things going between you and Blaine?" I asked him.

"Well I can't say that they're going easy." Kurt admitted. "This whole Sebastian suddenly claiming to be good thing isn't making things easy. I think it's an act so he can try to win Blaine yet again."

"I shouldn't get involved with this." I remarked. "I just think that I know you love each other and you should be able to get through this."

We found out that Blaine's brother was teaching an acting class. You know that sounds like being taught football by someone who's only played in the Arena League, and yet I think some people in the room actually took him seriously. The thing is I was an actor, while he was a guy you see when the sound is turned off.

"That's great." I replied. "I just want to ask you how you feel advertising a website that takes people's money from them because they're stupid. I also want to ask when the last time you were on TV."

"Please, the CW isn't a viable network." He responded.

"At least it is a network." I argued. "I know actual actors and directors. Who have you met?"

"I know one of the werewolves from the Twilight movies." Cooper explained.

"I've met Miley Cyrus." I pointed out. He was probably about as qualified to teach acting as Mr. Schue was to teach Spanish. He was much better at History.

"And yet you're still here." Cooper declared. I was tired of fighting with him at that point. He's like one of those guys from American Idol that think that they're awesome despite having no actual talent.

On Senior Skip Day, I went to pick Clara up. I went into her house to see if she was ready. I found her standing there reading a letter.

"Are you okay?" I asked her.

"No, this is from my dad." She declared. So, she had daddy issues too. That really wasn't that surprising. "It's basically him RSVP'ing for the wedding. I haven't spoken to him in years."

"Have you thought about what you would say to him?" I questioned. She then began to sing. I guess she had.

Hey dad look at me, think back and talk to me
Did I grow up according to plan
And do you thinking I'm wasting my time, doing thinks I wanna do
But it hurts when you disapprove all along

And now I try hard to make it, I just wanna make you proud
I'm never gonna be good enough for you, can't pretend that I'm alright
And you can't change me

Cause we lost it all, nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late and we can't go back
I'm sorry I can't be perfect

Nothing's gonna change the things that you said and nothing's gonna make this right again
Please don't turn your back, I can't believe it's hard just to talk to you but you don't understand

Cause we lost it all, and nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late and we can't go back
I'm sorry I can't be perfect
Cause we lost it all, and nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late and we can't go back
I'm sorry I can't be perfect

"I see you have thought about it." I declared. "What I think is the best idea is having some fun and forgetting about it for now. The problem will still be around tomorrow."

"Okay, let's have some fun." She agreed.

We definitely did have fun. I also had fun taking Avvie to the petting zoo. I did catch the goat trying to eat my jacket a few times. That goat and I were going to be enemies. I also had to tell her not to eat the animal food. Having a kid isn't easy, but it's a lot of fun and it would be more fun when she gets older.

When we got home, we put her in bed for her nap and I knew that I needed to talk to Lucy about her parental issues. We really needed to talk about it.

"So I'm beginning to think that the best way that you can deal with these issues with your dad is to sing." I suggested.

"I don't know what I should sing." She told me.

"Well you should think of a song that is about a bad relationship with a father." I explained. "There are plenty of those out there."

"Okay, I think I have something." She stated before I began to listen.

I was born a fighter, I was born on a rainy day
I've had my share of pain
But you missed most of that, so many other things you had to do
You looked after you

Do you remember what you did, do you know just what you missed
Do you care about what I have to say

You took my innocence away, I never had the chance to
You broke me in with your mistakes, well thanks for the breakthrough
But you won't bring me down, I always come around
Your took my innocence away, but the best of me stayed

Loneliness has filled my soul, and it creeps inside and takes control
And I don't know how to begin giving up on everything
My innocence, you took my innocence away

You took my innocence away, I never had the chance to
You broke me in with your mistakes, well thanks for the breakthrough
But you won't bring me down, I always come around
Your took my innocence away, but the best of me stayed
But the best of me stayed, but the best of me stayed
Oh, but the best of me stayed

"Do you feel better now?" I questioned.

"Yeah, I think so." She declared.

"So do you think that I should call someone from the show and see if I can have a real actor give an acting lesson?" I questioned.

"No, I don't think that Cooper is worth expending energy on." She answered. "I do think that you're a much better actor than he is. I think you had some powerful scenes."

"Well I'm gonna definitely have some powerful ones next season because my script arrived and the finale ends with Dixon being involved in a car crash."

In the end, no one went to Cooper's acting class. I guess they saw that he was kind of a moron. Being in commercials doesn't make you famous unless your name is Billy Mays or Isaiah Mustafa.

I decided to meet with Clara and Lucy to see what we should do. Maybe we could try to make up with our dads.

"So do you two think it might be a good idea to try to reconcile?" I asked. "I mean even though all of our dads have made some mistakes, I think they do love us."

"I don't know." Clara stated. "It might be worth a shot."

"Well there is one thing that we should do." Lucy suggested as she sat down at the piano and Clara and I began to sing.

A thousand times I've seen you standing, gravity like a lunar landing
You make me wanna run till I find you
I shut the world away from here, drift to you you're all I hear
As everything we know fades to black

Half the time, the world is ending
The truth is that I'm done pretending

I never thought that I had anymore to give
You're pushing me so far here am I without you
Drink to all that we have lost, mistakes we have made
Everything will change, but love remains the same

So much more to say, so much to be done,
Don't you trick me out we shall overcome it's all left still to play
We should've had the sun, could've been inside
Instead we're over here

Half the time, the world is ending, truth is that I'm done pretending
Too much time I'm done defending, you and I are done pretending

I never thought that I had anymore to give
You're pushing me so far here am I without you
Drink to all that we have lost, mistakes we have made
Everything will change, but love remains the same

I, oh I wish that this could last forever
I, oh I as if we could last forever
Love remains the same
Love remains the same

After we were done, I took out my laptop and I put my dad's email address in the address line. I just had to figure out what to put it in it and if I was really ready to do this.

So it's only fitting to post this chapter on Father's Day. Faith isn't the only one with problems with her dad and also Cooper is treated as the loser he really is. The songs are "Too Bad" by Nickelback, "Lie" by David Cook, "Perfect" by Simple Plan, "My Innocence" by Lindsay Lohan, and "Love Remains the Same" by Gavin Rossdale
