Today Was A Fairytale

Chapter 14: Awkward

Sabrina's POV:

This whole conversation was awkward. There wasn't one part of it that wasn't awkward in anyway. From my parents sitting on the couch across from the couch Puck and I were sitting on to the fact that my uncle and his fiancée were in the arm chairs. The words that were coming out of Puck's mouth and leaving my mouth weren't helping make this conversation any less awkward.

The faces on my family weren't any better of course. I couldn't believe I'd let Puck talk me into this. It was awkward and crazy and totally insane. No way on earth could this work for more than a day so why would we even risk all this...awkwardness.

"Sabrina," My dad said suddenly, interrupted Puck from his stutter of a confession.

"Yeah," I mumbled, my head lowered.

"You're not dating him," He said simply before getting up and walking away. My jaw dropped as I looked up at my shocked mother and my serious uncle.

I jumped up from the couch and ran towards my room.

When I'd called this whole thing awkward, I hadn't known it would be this awkward.

Puck just had to ruin everything didn't he?

No, this time it wasn't his fault. This time I couldn't blame him. This time it was all on my father and I couldn't cover it all up for him.

He hated Everafters; well that was his own fault. It didn't affect me and it didn't mean I had to hate them too. In fact, my three best friends were the daughters of Everafters and I was in love with one.

I'd admit it. There was no hiding it. I was in love with Puck. I just had to let my dad know...and the only way I knew that wasn't completely awkward was through song.

Of course, the only song I could think of wasn't perfect for it and a problem that was much more serious-I mean, I was fourteen so the 'baby' issue in this song couldn't exactly be taken seriously and all-but it should still get the point across. After all, 'baby' could be code for 'I'm gonna keep my love' or something like that I guess-know what, forget it! I just needed a good song and this was the first one to come to mind and this is an awkward conversation anyways-I'm dating an Everafter after all-so we'll go with the awkward song to fix the problem, okay? I grabbed my guitar and slowly started to strum some notes. Then I added the lyrics to the Madonna song, covered by Quinn in Glee.

"Papa I know you're going to be upset/Cause I was always you're little girl/But you should know by now/I'm not a baby/You always taught my right from wrong/I need your help daddy please be strong/I may be young at heart/But I know what I'm saying/The one you warned me all about/The one you said I could do without/We're in an awful mess and I don't mean maybe-please/Papa don't preach-I'm in trouble deep/Papa don't preach-I've been losing sleep/But I made up my mind-I'm keeping my baby/I'm gonna keep my baby,"

Puck's POV:

I sat there on the couch, even after Sabrina had run off. I kept sitting there, clenching my fists, even after everyone else in her family was gone. I didn't know if I was angry that Henry had upset her so much or upset that she'd run off. I'd only seen Sabrina cry a few times in my life and I hated each and every time. It wasn't like when Daphne cried. Sabrina was strong.

I finally forced myself to stand and started to walk towards my room. I passed Sabrina's door and heard her inside, strumming her guitar and singing softly.

I could have kept walking-the old me wouldn't have even stopped to listen-but I didn't. I knocked on her door twice and then opened it slowly.

"Can I come in?" I asked. She looked up briefly and nodded. I walked over to her and sat down next to her. "I'm not going to let him stop me from being with you," I said.

"I know," She said simply.

"I'm going to be here as long as you want me here," I said.

"I know," She repeated.

"Can I hear what you're working on?" I asked.

"I guess," She sighed.

"You're really upset about this," I said.

"Yeah...I just wish he'd listen to me," She sighed.

"Meet me downstairs in half an hour. Bring your guitar," I said, grinning at her before running off.

Sabrina's POV:

I sat on the couch when Puck came down the stairs, followed by my dad.

"You need to at least listen to her. She's your daughter and she loves you. At least she told you," He was saying. "She could have just snuck around behind your back but she didn't. Now shut up and listen to her. She's thirteen. She's not your little girl anymore," Puck said.

"Fine," He said, sitting down on the other couch. Puck sat in the arm chair and nodded at me.

"Dad, you won't listen to me when I try to talk to you and I can only think of one thing to do. So listen to this song-I think it fits, I mean, it's just a cover," I explained. I started to play the guitar and then added the lyrics.

"She said, I was seven and you were nine/I looked at you like the stars that shined/In the sky, like pretty lights/and our daddies used to joke about the two of us/growing up and falling in love/and our mama's smiled and rolled their eyes/and said Oh, my, my, my/Take me back to the house in the backyard tree/Said you'd beat me up, you were bigger than me/You never did, you never did/Take me back when the world was one block wide/I dared you to kiss me and ran when you tried/Just two kids, you and I/Oh my, my, my/Well I was sixteen when suddenly/I wasn't that little girl you used to see/But you're eyes still shined like pretty lights/And our daddies used to joke about the two of us/Never believed we'd really fall in love."

I kept on playing and singing, not daring to look up at my father and face the expression on his face. I didn't care what he said. I was going to be with Puck either way but it would be a lot nicer to at least have his blessing.
