Love, Hate and New York City

Chapter 1

"Why? Aren't you happy to see me?"

Rachel got up from Brody and the cold, leftover pizza that lay in front of the couple, to answer a loud and disturbing knock at the apartment door. She reached for the steel handle and tugged the door open.

Stunned at what she witnessed before her, Rachel felt her heart sink to the floor. She had gone a deathly white color and her jaw began to drop. Thoughts began to fly through Rachel's head. 'How is this possible? I've not heard from him in months! What made today any different? Today of all days, when I finally kissed Brody and tried to forget about him, he shows up on my door step!'

"Finn?" Rachel asked shocked by the person who stood opposite her, trying to ignore her failing voice. Finn had a playful smile pulling at his lips, glad that his girlfriend (ex-girlfriend/fiancée?) was surprised at his sudden appearance.

Rachel questioned Finn again, being the stubborn, control freak everyone was used to. "What are you doing here?" Her voice was stronger this time as her confidence grew. Finn's smile began to slide from his mouth as he noticed a figure dressed in jeans and a dark tight t-shirt stand up behind her. The figure was very well built. He was male, but he wasn't Kurt. He started to be aware that he might have just interrupted something.

"I….I came to surprise you…" Finn's eyes met Rachel's again. He thought he saw a flash of panic in the big, brown oval-shaped eyes that were on the girls beautiful face. Before he could stop himself, Finn found that his mouth and voice had started to form words that were directed at Rachel, whilst his eyes were securely fixed on the boy behind her.

"Why? Aren't you happy to see me?" His voice was a bit too harsh for his own liking, never mind Rachel's. Rachel's heart began to break as she realized that the Army had changed her boyfriend (ex-boyfriend/fiancée?). This wasn't the Finn she knew, who she was used to, who she dearly missed.

Rachel saw that Finn wasn't looking at her anymore, but at Brody, who was still stood behind her, not knowing what to do in this awkward situation. She turned to look at Brody and gave a quick half smile, before answering Finn's question.

"Of course...It…I….I was just a bit shocked that's all!" She turned the corners of her lips up quickly to give a brief smile to Finn, who was still looking at Brody as if he was about to punch his face in. She waited a few seconds before continuing with "Oh, Finn? This is Brody! He's my friend from NYADA!" Again, she turned to Brody, who was now standing next to her with a worried expression on his perfect face.

"Brody?" Rachel continued "This is Finn, who I've been telling you about."

Brody was speechless. He didn't know what to do. Finn was giving him an awful look, as if to say 'I'm the predator of our relationship, and you will be my prey.' Brody shivered at the thought of being crushed to death in between the jaws of a geeky looking turnip, who clearly didn't work out enough. The tension continued to rise between the two. Brody decided that the best thing to do was to be polite.

Brody extended his arm to shake hands with Finn (being the polite young man he was). "Hey, I'm so glad I'm finally meeting you! I've heard lots about you!" Brody cleared his throat as he heard his voice was slightly shaken. Rachel shot him a warning look which made his heart swell. Finn however, removed the murderous mask of his face and expressed a genuine smile. That made Brody feel a bit more comfortable, not a lot, but it was progress. Finn reached out and grabbed Brody's hand and shook it in a friendly gesture.

"Yeah…thanks, man!" Finn replied innocently. Brody released the breath he didn't know he was holding and gave a positive smile to Finn and Rachel. But, Brody still thought something wasn't right about this 'Finn' guy. No one could go from a happy, loving person to someone who could kill you with his looks, in five seconds. Something definitely wasn't right. But he chose to ignore it.

Chapter 2

"Wait…Finn?"

Rachel still couldn't believe what she was seeing. The person that she hadn't seen for months was stood in her apartment. She was surprised she hadn't fainted, watching the person who she had a crush on and the boy who was her first love together in the same room. This was weird, too weird.

Brody really didn't like this situation. He wished that Finn hadn't shown up. He wished that he and Rachel were still on the pretty multi-colored cushions, kissing passionately in front of the freezing pizza, which was now too disgusting to digest. He had to make an excuse to get out of there, fast, before he was dragged into a deep conversation between the three of them.

"I…I'll..." He spotted the revolting pizza again and continued with "clean this up! Yeah, I'll do that!" He hadn't meant to say the last part out loud. But, he didn't care, as long as he escaped from the strange situation. Brody gave Rachel a brief smile before he scooped up the pizza box and scurried into the outstanding kitchen area Kurt had painted.

Brody heard the front door open as he walked back into the main area. A thought rushed through his mind as he saw who the person was. 'Speaking of the devil.' He grinned slightly before stopping beside Rachel. He just realized that the situation was going to become even more awkward.

Kurt shut the apartment door behind him before spotting the others looking at him. "Hey Rachel, Brody, Finn." He smiled before turning to his bedroom door. He reached out for the handle before the pin finally dropped. "Wait…Finn?" He spun around to see his half-brother looking at him with a giant grin on his face. Kurt ran towards him and pulled him in for a hug. "What are you doing here?" He asked with enthusiasm, still attached to the taller boy. He couldn't believe he was here! Kurt had missed him so much and he had tons to tell him.

"I came to see Rachel…and you, of course!" Finn was so happy to see Kurt and Rachel, to tell them the adventures he had been on. But this 'Brody' kid kept getting in the way of his happy thoughts. 'Rachel said that they were friends, and he trusted Rachel…right?' This sentence kept repeating in Finn's head, but he decided to shut it out. He pulled away from Kurt and smiled sweetly at his shorter half-brother.

Kurt went to reply to Finn's statement, but was silenced by Brody. "I think I should go…" Everyone turned to look at him. Rachel gave a genuinely sad look, and he noticed before continuing with "I'll see you tomorrow Rachel, bye Kurt….Finn; it was nice to meet you." He shook Finn's hand again before walking out the door.

Brody stared to get lost in his own thoughts, 'Thank heavens that's over, it was so embarrassing!' Brody was too busy daydreaming, that he hadn't noticed himself walk into someone until they were both on the floor. Brody's mind came back to the present before he started to panic. "Oh My God! I'm so sorry, I was daydreaming! I'm so sorry!" Brody was shocked when he saw the other person, who he now noticed was male, giggling. Brody got to his feet to help the other boy up.

"No! *cough * It's fine, honestly!" He replied once he was up of the ground. The boy smiled before adding, "New York's kind of busy, huh?"

"Tell me about it!" Brody answered whilst returning the smile. He noticed the stranger's fashion sense was pretty classy. He was wearing black rolled up trousers, a black polo shirt and a silver bow tie. "Nice bow tie, I'm Brody by the way!"

The boy's grin grew at the compliment. "Hey, I'm Blaine"
