Summary: After finding out that Jake cheated on her, Marley wanted revenge. She wanted him to feel so much more then just guilt. She wanted him to feel her pain. Good thing she knows a group of very talented and protective individuals who love her like a sister. [Sebastian Smythe & Marley Rose]
Disclaimer: The relationship between Marley and Sebastian is a brother and sister one as Sebastian is gay. The song is 'Beggin' On your Knees' from Victorious so they own the song, obviously I don't own the characters either. I hope you enjoy this :)
Marley Rose was never someone who saw revenge as a solution. But that was until Jake Puckerman entered her life. She knew that Jake had a bad childhood, which is why she wasn't surprised he didn't commit to things but when he finally taking notice of her, all of those thoughts flew out of her head as they began dating. Everyone warned her about Jake's dating habits throughout their relationship, but she chose to ignore them. It was all in the past. She was slowly changing Jake for the better, everyone could see that. But then Bree began telling her all of these things, making her be insecure about herself. No matter how many times Bree tried to make what was going on between her and Jake seem innocent, she just couldn't help herself and tell Marley to her face that she slept with her boyfriend. That was when the old, rule-following Marley had left her system. Now, she was enraged, wanting to get her sweet revenge.
The teen walked straight out of the school, not caring about the classes she still had to attend and the rehearsal they were having at the end of the day. She was going to find closure from this whole mess first.
"He did what now?!" Jeff, one of the Warblers, yelled out in anger. After leaving McKinley, Markey had driven all the way to Dalton, knowing that they finished school a lot earlier then they did. She watched in concern as Sebastian's jaw clenched, his fists tightening and his knuckles going white. Out of all the Warblers, Sebastian was the most protective over Marley. The way the two became friends in the first place was really wild. They had known each other through Marley's job of babysitting Sebastian's little brother and little sister because he only came home on the weekends. Ever since one weekend when his parents had requested her help with their children because Sebastian couldn't be trusted after a little incident at school, the two had hit it off, becoming friends rather quickly, which surprised them both.
"Jake cheated on me," She said, closing her eyes, "He cheated on me because I wouldn't have sex with him"
That got a major reaction out of Sebastian. He stood up, his whole body trembling and approached Marley, not bothering to hide his rage. Thad and Jeff looked at Sebastian in concern. They had never seen him this mad before, and they really didn't want to find out how bad he could act on it. Truth be told, no-one had ever seen their Captain this mad before, and it was scaring them all.
"Let me deal with this" His voice was low and he gritted it out more as a growl rather than actually talking to her. Marley just looked at him, her hands going to his arms, trying to calm him down.
Anger was Sebastian's worst quality, and she knew how much he couldn't control it. Marley had seen him angry before, but not to this extent. The teen tried her hardest not to feel scared at the close proximity between her and Sebastian, and she usually wouldn't be scared, but this was different. Sebastian was seeing red. He was pissed, and Marley couldn't help but feel nervous about how Sebastian might act next. He was a loose cannon. One she didn't want to see go off.
"Bas, don't hurt him," She whispered to him, wrapping her arms around his middle, "He may have done something unforgivable but please don't hurt him"
She felt Sebastian tense in her embrace before he took a couple deep breaths, his own arms wrapping around her. The pair pulled away from each other minutes later, and the room felt less tense afterwards. Like all of their anger had been sucked out of them and now they were just wanting revenge.
"How can we get back at him?" Trent asked, and Sebastian had a huge grin on his face, as if he was already thinking of ways to torture the man. Marley just rolled her eyes at him and shrugged at Trent, not too sure herself.
"Let's write a song," Thad began, getting a few looks, "You can get all of your anger out in one song and we can be there to make sure he hears it"
Marley nodded her head and turned towards Sebastian, who was spaced out. She knew how badly he wanted to beat the crap out of Jake, hell, she wanted that to happen to him. But this was much bigger then just a simple beat down. It required something more. So, she simply nudged the teen out of his thoughts and grabbed his hand, pulling him towards the couches in the room. They sat down and began brainstorming ideas about the song. It was going to be a long day.
The next day, all she got asked was where she was for the rest of the day. She hadn't told anyone other then Kitty what Jake had done and they were both planning some choreography for the song she was all set to perform in rehearsal later. When it was finally rehearsal time, both her and Kitty waited outside of the school for Sebastian and Thad to arrive. It had been decided that, although all of the Warblers wanted to be there, they only really needed two of them to keep Jake in his seat throughout the song, so Marley agreed on bringing the the two Warblers she was closest with. Once Marley saw Sebastian's Range Rover pull into McKinley carpark she felt nervous. The song they had wrote was supposed to be for her to show how confident she was. It was supposed to make her feel so much better about the situation. The quartet made their way into the rehearsal room, where everyone stopped talking when they saw who was with the two girls. Blaine hesitantly stood up and walked over to his friends, confused as to why they were here. Mr. Schuster just watched from his place in the middle of the room as Blaine pulled both Sebastian and Thad out into the hallway for some privacy.
"What's going on?" Mr. Schuster asked Kitty and Marley, but the look he received from Kitty spoke a thousand words. He slowly backed away and let the girls have the floor.
"So, I have something I want to sing for you all," Jake looked at her as she spoke, but Marley avoided his eyes as much as possible, "But I want to go into the Auditorium"
"This is a song I wrote for my very good friend Jake Puckerman," Marley began once everyone, including Blaine, Sebastian and Thad, were all in the Auditorium. Sebastian and Thad looked at each other before standing up and holding the teen down in his seat so he couldn't move.
"Listen to the lyrics, Jake," Sebastian growled at him, his eyes darkening by the second.
You had it all
The day you told me
Told me you want me
I had it all
But let you fool me
Fool me completely
Marley stared out by staring at Jake as some of the Cheerios, who Jake had all had flings with, entered the stage, being Marley's backup dancers. She began walking around the stage, but her eyes remained locked on him.
Yeah I was so stupid
To give you all my attention
'Cause the way you played me
Exposed your true intention
Jake sighed and attempted to get up, but it made Sebastian and Thad tighten their grips on him and keep him firmly in his seat. Mr. Schuster wanted to intervene and tell them to at least let them go but he could see how mad they were so he stayed in his seat. He wasn't in the best mood for a fight, especially with some students.
'Cause one day
I'll have you beggin' on your knees for me
Yeah one day
I'll have you crawling like a centipede
You mess with me
I'll mess with her
So I'll make sure you get what you deserve
Yeah one day
You'll be beggin' on your knees for me
Unique, Kitty, Tina and Brittany were all surprised by the level of confidence Marley was showing. This was the most confident anyone had ever seen her, and they were glad she was finally beginning to show it. Blaine knew from Thad and Sebastian that the song was intense and thrilling, but this, this made him want to write a song and try and sort everything out between him and Kurt.
So watch your back
'Cause you don't know when or where I could get you
I've set the trap and when I am done
Then you'll know what I've been through
So oh mister player do you feel like the man now
And I bet you're nervous 'cause this song makes you freak out
As Marley sang the last couple of words, she had her arms held wide. It was like she was directly asking him how he felt. Jake was completely silent though. He could feel everyone's eyes on him and it made him feel uncomfortable. He didn't mean for her to find out, and she wouldn't have if it weren't for Bree telling her.
I know I'm being bitter
But I'mma drive you under
'Cause you just don't, don't deserve happy ever after
But what you did to me, after you told me
You never felt that way it was only just a game
Marley looked so vulnerable during this verse. Everyone could tell that this is what hurt her the most. At least, that's what Jake believed as during the verse Sebastian had started gripping his shoulder so hard that he might rip his skin off if he wasn't careful. He knew he had hurt Marley a whole lot more then just this song. He knew her pain ran deeper then just anger. This was one of the many outlets she was using though to remove this whole thing from her conscience.
And one day
Everyone except Jake cheered as Marley sang the high note of the song. They all loved the song. It was moving and in a sense, a little bit sad if you really looked into the lyrics.
And one day
I'll have you beggin' on your knees for me
(Beggin' on your knees for me)
Yeah one day
I'll have you crawling like a centipede
(Crawling like a centipede)
Marley and the Cheerios approached Jake, all dancing in front of him as Marley crouched down in front of him, anger in her eyes as she did. Sebastian and Thad simply smiled at the teen, proud that she hadn't cried about this. She didn't deserve to cry about this. She deserved to be happy.
You mess with me
I'll mess with her
So I'll make sure you get what you deserve
Yeah one day
You'll be beggin' on your knees for me
The song ended with all of them looking at Jake, their arms folded across their chests. They were all looking at him expectantly, wanting his reaction. Everyone else clapped and ran to hug all of the performers as Jake remained in his seat. He saw Ryder getting angry and decided to keep back, especially since Sebastian and Thad were in the room too. The room all went quiet as Mr. Schuster caught sight of Jake attempting to leave the room without a single word.
"Not got anything to say, Puckerman?" Sebastian began as he saw Jake by the Auditorium steps. The whole room went silent as Sebastian stared at him, wanting an answer. Jake simply shook his head and left the room. As much as Sebastian wanted to go and hit him, beat him up, he knew Marley didn't like seeing anyone with bruises, especially if she was the cause for them. Instead, he gathered the teen into his arms and started what inevitably became a group hug.
Revenge was sweet.. only if it was done in the right way, that is.
I lowkey like this one-shot :) I have an idea for another one too.
