There I was. Back in the choir room. In front of past and present members of New Directions. Even though I lived in New York, this felt like home. No matter what I said or did, I had people who loved me for me and I know they would support me no matter what I did.

"No body treat me with kids gloves, ok? I don't know what to say either. I loved Finn, and he loved me, and he loved all of you guys. I know he did. I like to sing in the car, and before Finn I used to sing alone. And this was the first song I sang with him and we would drive around together, so this is for him. "

The music began and I already felt the tears coming. "Be strong! For Finn!" I said to myself. I grabbed my "Finn" necklace and didn't let go. I held it liked he would have held me. And I sang my heart out. Just for my first love. For my quarterback. For Finn.
