Burt pov

"That will b…" I started, when there came a strange noise from the back, and a split second later…. BOOM the floor shook, and it sounded as if the ceiling was collapsing. I let go of what I was doing, and turned around, then I ran into the back of the store, just to see the last of the biggest shelf collapsing, and Lex was nowhere to be found.

"LEX." I shouted, and jumped over the nearest shelves and equipment. "LEX." Gosh, she couldn´t have been under all this stuff. It would have killed her. "LEX." I suddenly spotted her, as she sat up. She sat just a couple of centimeters from the biggest thing- from an equipment which would easily have crushed all her bones- and possibly killed her if it had fallen right on her. I jumped over it, lifted her up to her feet in her shirt, and shook her.

"Lex, are you okay? What happened? Did you climb the shelf? ANSWER ME!" I shook her again, not hard, but right then, it hit me how unbelievably much I must scare her when I held her like this. I let go of her shirt, and then it call came at once.

"IstoodhereItriedtofigureouthowtoreachthethingsyou wantedCharlestoldmetoclimbandthentheingotloosenedf romtheshelvesImanagedtojumpawayintiebuteverythingc amecrashingdownImsososorry ( Translation: I stood here, I tried to figure out how to reach the things you wanted. Charles told me to climb and then the ingot loosened from the shelves I managed to jump away in time bit everything came crashing down I´m so, so sorry) But please don't hurt me." I sighed. I had only understood the part about Charles, I turned around towards, gasping of anger. I stepped over a piece of equipment, kicked smaller things out of the way, I´d have to buy new things anyway, there was no way I´d use any of this now. I gripped Charles shirt and pulled him so I held his face only a couple of centimeters from mine.

"NOBODY messes with MY KID. And gets away with it. So I want you OUT OF HERE in five minutes, and if not. I WILL PAINT THE CONCRETE WITH YOUR FACE. YOU ARE FIRED" It was a long time since I had felt this kind of anger. And I meant every word I said.

I turned to Lex, and started walking towards her, but for every step I took, she took one step back.

"Lex…"

"Stay away from me."

"Lex, it´s me."

"I said stay away." I stopped.

"See? You shouldn´t have shook her or shouted like that?" I heard Charles´ voice behind me. I turned to him, oh if only looks could kill.

"Do you really wanna go there Charles Gaylord Duncan." By the sound of his full name, Charles face became redder than a tomato, he moth became a straight line, as he stomped out of the room.

"Your father will hear about this." I said after him, he didn´t answer. I turned to Lex again, I guessed that Lex had had quite a shock, first when all the things came bursting down, and then when I shook her and then when I shouted at Charles. I knew I had scared, her. Of course it hadn´t been on purpose, and I brainstormed for ideas on how to fix her.

How could I know clean up the mess I had made and fix my little girl? I bit my lip as I thought.

"I´m going to call Carole." I mumbled, more to myself then to Lex, I walked over to where our jackets hung and got out my cell, and after two tones went by. "Come on baby," I mumbled. "We need you!" Just after the third tone it clicked and…

"Carole!"

"Hey it´s me, are you at home?"

"Yes why?"

"I think you gotta come here."

"Are you okay?"

"Yes I´m fine, but Lex…"

"Is Lex okay?"

"I don´t know, she´s not physically hurt but… I´ll explain when you get here."

"I´m on my way!" The phone clicked again, and then beeped. I put it back in my pocket and turned back to Lex. She was still in what seemed to be some sort of protection- position. I sighed and smiled slightly.

"I´m going to start to go and throw the things in the dumpster on the back. It may be a lot of noise when I throw them in there, but it´s nothing to fear. Carole is on her way, and I would never ever hurt you." Lex didn´t answer, I picked up something from the floor, opened the back- door and walked out to throw the broken things in the dumpster.

It hadn´t even bee five minutes since I called when I heard Carole skid into the parking lot at the front. I chuckled- Carole was always careful driving- but if she got a call about Kurt, Finn or Lex being in trouble, she could have won a race. I walked back into the shop just as she came running, she looked around, at the ingot, shelves and car- pieces that still laid spread across the floor, and then to Lex, and last to me. I walked over to her and mumbled my version of the story.

"Charles told her to climb the shelves to reach what I had asked for, the ingot loosened from the shelves and everything collapsed. She was millimeters away from getting hit by something that could easily have killed her. I was in the shop and when I came back it took a couple of seconds before I realized she was unhurt, I lifted her up in the shirt and shook her, then almost shouted at her to tell me what happened. She told me almost everything in one word, and then I shouted at Charles, he´s fired and when I turned back to Lex she seemed terrified of me."

"She probably just had a shock" Carole said in a calm voice. "I´ll bring her home." She turned to Lex, walked over there and kneeled down next to her. They both said something I couldn´t hear- then Carole laid one arm around Lex´ shoulders and Lex stood up. Soon they were out the door, as I kept on throwing the broken things in the dumpster.

Carole pov

We drove home during silence, but when I had driven onto the parking lot Lex didn´t move, so I closed my door and waited for her to say something when she was ready, it was silent for a couple of minutes. Until Lex started talking.

"Carole?"

"Yes?"

"Burt would never hurt me right!?"

"No sweetie, Burt would never do something like that." It fell silent again for a couple of minutes.

"Carole?"

"Yes?"

"I know he wouldn´t, but he kind of scared me when he shook me like that."

"I can understand he did."

"Carole?"

"Yes sweetie."

"I used to call Brian and Katheryn mum and dad, so calling someone else that would be kind of confusing… but… could I call you like… ma?" I felt happiness rising in my chest.

"I´d love that very much my child."

"Carole?"

"Yes?"

"Do you think Burt would mind if I called him pops?" I smiled.

"I´m sure he wouldn´t."

Lex pov

I opened the door and stepped out of the car. When I came inside Kurt and Blaine greeted me, and then Blaine said.

"It took you ten minutes from the car pulling up, and coming in! What exactly were you doing?" He asked with a smirk.

"Just talking." I walked upstairs, I had been thinking about getting Facebook for a couple of minutes now, and now I had the best idea on what to write at my status.

I sat down by the desk and started the computer, before fat writing in my name and birthdate in the squares, just a couple of minutes later I could log into my personal account, I managed to find every member of New Directions, Blaine, Kurt, Finn and Rebeccah. I sent requests to all of them, and not far later, the computer beeped twice, as first Tyler, and then Blaine accepted me as a beeped again and I checked the new things.

Tyler Damien Benton have invited you to the group "New Directions"

Blaine Anderson have accepted your friend-request

Tyler Damien Benton have accepted your friend request

I accepted being a part of the new- directions- group and then there was a knock on my door. Blaine came in.

"So you´ve gotten Facebook!?"

"Yeah, I have." The computer beeped twice more, and two one- numbers came up in the left corner.

"What does this mean?" I pointed to the one to the left.

"It means that someone have sent you a message, check who it is and send an answer, then I´ll show you how to have the chats in its own window. I checked what had happened first.

Ethan Zachariah Morison have accepted your friend- request

When I checked the message- box, it was Tyler who had sent me a message.

Hello! Wouldn´t you supposed to be at work? R U shirking?

I sent a message back to him and wrote.

Something happened, will explain 2morrow

Then I handed the computer to Blaine so he could fix what he wanted to fix. I thought for a second when he handed it back, I thought for a second and then wrote.

IMPORTANT WARNING TO EVERYONE OUT THERE: Climbing shelves is a really bad idea.

I sent it and then Blaine showed me how to fix a profile photo. I got a friend request after a while

Teacher William Schuester wants to be your friend

"Who would he write teacher before his name?" I mumbled.

"Teachers actually aren´t supposed to be friends with their students. But some teacher does it like this, on their status, they usually don´t write the same personal stuff as they write on their private accounts." I nodded, and accepted. Then I heard Burt coming home.

"I gotta speak with him." I closed the computer and walked downstairs, where Burt was just about to walk into the kitchen.

"Hey." I said.

"Hey yourself." Burt answered me, then it fell silent, the others had walked into the kitchen.

"Are you mad at me?" I mumbled after some time. Burt took me in his arms and hugged me tightly and in a low voice he spoke.

"No, I´m not mad at you and you know it. I´m mad at Charles because he made you do it. What happened wasn´t your fault." Burt let go of me.

"Is Charles´ name really Gaylord?" I giggled, Burt chuckled and nodded.

"Burt?" I said after a while.

"Yes?"

"I used to call Katheryn and Brian mum and dad so calling someone else the same would be confusing… but would you mind if I call you pops?" Burt drew his breath, and he got tears in his eyes. He lifted his arms and pulled me close again.

"I´d love that very much my daughter."

A while later I walked upstairs again, I knew that in ten minutes we would all leave- Kurt thought that we should celebrate the fact that I could call Burt and Carole, ma and pops, so we were going to eat Chinese. I was just gonna change clothes and check Facebook.

I changed clothes while the computer started, and then opened Facebook.

Ben Stephen Morison have now accepted your friend request.

Tyler Damien Benton, Teacher William Schuester and Blaine Anderson have commented on your status.

I accepted Zebastian´s request and wrote as a comment that I would explain everything at glee- club tomorrow. Then I opened a window to write a new status and after thinking for a moment I wrote

So, Lex goes Facebook.
