Her Diamonds
A Finn Hudson Story
Hi, my name is Kayla Springs. I was currently dating Sam Evans. My best friends were Finn and Puck. They had been my best friends since like we were 5. My other best friends were Kurt, Blaine and Mercedes. I became friends with Kurt in middle school. I had never been close to Mercedes until Kurt left and we used each other for comfort. I met Blaine obviously through Kurt and I liked him because he made Kurt happy. I lived next door to Finn so we were really close.
"Finn!" I yelled to my freakishly tall friend down the hall. I ran towards him and jumped on his back. "Whoa, hey there Kay Kay!" I giggled at his nickname for me. "So, how are you and Sam?" He asked. I hesitated before answering. "We're good." I said. "Why'd you hesitate? Oh no, boyfriend troubles?" He asked. It was true. Sam and I were having problems. We never really talked. The most we did was say hi in the hall. When I tried to talk to him, he would walk off to talk to Quinn or something. "Kind of, I think he still loves Quinn." I said. He stiffened up a bit. Did he know something I didn't? Oh, well. I just shook it off. He then walked into our next class, Spanish.
"Um good morning Finn and Kayla?" Mr. Schue asked with a weirded out look on his face. "Salutations!" I cried out. This time everyone shot us a weird look, probably because I was still on Finn's back. "Um, how about you take your seats." Mr. Schue suggested. "Mr. Schue, I believe that is a good idea. We shall follow your words of wisdom!" I said. Finn and I laughed while people were still giving us weird looks. I jumped off his back and we took our usual seats, next to each other. Sam was sitting behind me. He tapped my shoulder. I turned around. "Can I talk to you after class?" He asked. I smiled and nodded. Finally we were going to talk. I then turned back around.
Today, we were repeating after Mr. Schue. I nudged Finn and he smiled. We had this usual tradition where if we had to do repeat-after, we would finish a half-second after in a monotone voice. We would then laugh about it and Mr. Schue would ask us if there was something we would like to share.
"Finn, Kayla. Is there something you would like to share?" Mr. Schue asked. "No sir!" I replied. "What am I going to do with you?" He mumbled. Everyone laughed. Mr. Schue then got back to saying Spanish.
It was after class. I walked out into the hall and waited for Sam. He walked towards me. "I don't want you to be friends with Finn anymore." He said. "What?" I asked, shocked. "It's me or him." He said before walking off. My whole world had crashed. Finn was so important to me. I mean, so was Sam but Finn was my best friend. I couldn't imagine my life without him. I took off running to the bathroom while my tears hit the floor.
"Oh I'm sorr- Kay Kay? What happened?" I heard someone ask. I had bumped into someone on my way to the bathroom. I strained my neck to look up at Finn, which made my heart hurt even more. "Finn, we can't be friends anymore." I said in between sobs. I looked up to see his reaction. He looked confused and like his whole world had been crushed at the same time. "What?" was all he could conjure up to say. He looked like he was about to cry. "Sam is making me choose." I said. He punched a locker. It didn't even dent. "So you're choosing him?" He yelled out of anger. "No! I'm not choosing! I don't know what to do!" I started to cry again. Finn's facial expressions softened and he wrapped his arms around me. "I'll talk to him, ok?" He said in a gentler tone. I just nodded.
We were walking outside together. Finn was going to football practice but he didn't want to leave me so I was going to watch practice. We were in the parking lot when we heard someone call "Finn! Kay Kay? Is that you?" We looked to see Kurt in his Dalton Academy uniform. I hadn't seen him in forever. I smiled slightly at the sight of him. "Can I leave you with him?" Finn asked. I nodded. Kurt grabbed my hand and we went into his truck.
He was driving to Lima Bean (A/N: The coffee shop, remember?) where we were going to meet Blaine. "So what happened?" He asked. "Sam said I can't be friends with Finn anymore." He looked like he was going to have a heart attack. "What? But you and Finn have been best friends forever! You guys are inseparable! I wouldn't have transferred to Dalton Academy if you didn't have Finn!" He said. "I know. I think Sam still loves Quinn." I said. Kurt stomped on the brakes. I jerked forward but my seatbelt saved me. "Are you trying to give me a heart attack, woman? Dear God! Too much juicy gossip to take in!" He said. I laughed. He then pulled up to Lima Bean.
Finn's POV
I watched as Kay Kay and Kurt walked off. I ran to the locker room. Boy, did I have a bone to pick with Sam.
When I got into the locker room, I saw Sam at his locker, I went up to him. "Dude, what the hell?" I figured he knew what I was talking about. He just ignored me. "Hey, you know you're hurting her, right?" I yelled. That got to him. "Why do you care?" He asked me. "We're friends." I replied. He closed his locker and looked at me. "That's not true. I see the way you look at her. She never looked at me like that. You guys have more fun than we ever did." He said. " I don't have feelings for her." I lied. The truth is I was in love with Kayla. I have been since 9th grade. But I couldn't tell her or Sam or anyone. The only person who knew was Kurt. And possibly Puck because we were both close to him. "Really? Look me in the face and tell me you don't have feelings for her." He said. I looked him in the face and told him.
He went back to putting stuff in his locker. "I'm sorry. I just don't want to lose her." He said. "Bull crap!" I yelled out. He slammed his locker shut and glared at me. "What?" "Yeah, that's right. I saw you making out Quinn yesterday." I said. Yep, they were making out in the auditorium. I didn't have the heart to tell Kayla. I wanted him to tell her himself. But, I didn't want a little punk breaking her heart. He tried to get in my face. Oh, this is the only time I have actually liked being freakishly tall. "You better not tell her." He threatened through his teeth. "You have one month to break up with her or I'm telling her." I said. I then walked off.
"Dude, what was that?" Puck asked when I got to my locker. "Sam's cheating on Kayla." I said. "What?" He slammed his locker shut. He went over to Sam and jumped on him. "Hey! Break it up!" Coach Beiste yelled. Sam had a black eye and Puck had a busted lip. I sighed and continued getting changed.
Kayla's POV
Kurt and I walked into Lima Bean. We saw Blaine just about to order. "Hey Kurt. And Kayla? Why are your eyes all red?" He asked. "Boyfriend troubles." Was all I said. "Well girl, red eyes are not sexy eyes." Kurt said. "Oh thanks." I said sarcastically. "Blaine, do you know what I'm thinking?" Kurt asked. They looked at each other and then at me. "Makeover." They said at the same time. I sighed.
