Disclaimer: I own nothing, I only wish I was smart enough to come up with it all.
AN: This is a one shot. I was listening to my ipod while I was on the treadmill and when Faith Evans: Soon As I Get Home came on this story popped in my head. I sat down to write Ch.6 of At Least She's Jewish and this kept nagging at me. Now that it's written I am hoping that I can get back to the other. Lol.. I hope you enjoy. Please Read and Review.. You're thoughts mean the world to me.
Peace of Mind
It had never occurred to him that Quinn had been lying. I mean sure the whole hot tub thing sounded a little out there, but he didn't think she would just….not about something like…
Finn sat down hard on the bleachers. He held his head in his hands, rubbing his temple with his fingers trying to ward off the headache that had been plaguing him all day.
How could she do this to him? How could he, his best friend? Finn growled at that last thought. Puck wasn't his favorite person at the moment, but even he could see that Puck was a kind of victim in this charade too.
Finn felt like the world's biggest douche right about now. Soon the whole school would know just how naive he really was.
Finn got up and marched towards the school in search of the one person who would listen to him. The one person he felt would truly care about him right now.
Finn walked towards the auditorium briskly hoping to catch Rachel there. He knew that she would at least offer him so kind of comfort, even her brutal honesty. What he found though he wasn't prepared for. The girls of glee were all on the stage. Rachel was fiddling with the keys while everyone was talking. He couldn't hear what was being said, but Quinn was upset and using her hands a lot. Finn was about to turn and walk out when he heard the piano start playing a noticeable tune, then Quinn stood and walked to the center of the stage.
Your love is wonderful, yeah So baby
And I don't want to loose you
Finn stood frozen to his spot staring at Quinn. She was so beautiful, the way her hair shown in the spotlight.
The girls came in:
Soon as I get home
I'll make it up to you
Baby I'll do what I gotta do
Soon as I get home
I'll make it up to you
Baby I'll do what I gotta do
Quinn closed her eyes and sang. Her emotions flowing through him in waves as she sang.
Sleepless nights, and lonely days
Are all that fill my head
All of the time, oh baby, but all I do
Is think about the way you make me feel
Cuz baby this love is so real
Soon as I get home
When I get home
I'll make it up to you
Baby I'll do what I gotta do
what I gotta do
Soon as I get home
I'll make it up to you
I'm gonna make it up to you
Baby I'll do what I gotta doIf I try, to spend some time with you
To make you happy, would you feel better
And if I could, with you I would be forever
Forever in love soooooo
Rachel caught sight of Finn and wondered what he was thinking. He was staring almost as if star struck, staring at Quinn as she sang her heart out. Rachel made no indication that she had seen him and continued to sing
Making love all through the night
night
We hold each other tight
tight
I can take away the pain, If you would only let me

When the song ended Finn was half way up the aisle. Everyone stopped talking and stood still. Rachel moved the piano bench back and said, "Come on guys."
Finn continued his path onto the stage, Quinn turned to him.
"Finn" she said a little breathily.
He just stood there unable to say anything. He was torn between following Rachel off the stage to seek much needed solace or stay and confront his tormentor. In the end he stood there watching her, not moving from his spot.
Quinn walked towards Finn slowly as if she were afraid that any sudden movement would send him running. When she was mere inches from him he said her name devoid of emotion.
After a moments hesitation she threw herself in his arms and started crying, "I'm so sorry."
Finn stood stiffly for a moment, but soon relaxed into her arms. They both sank to the floor and Quinn began to pour her heart out to him. By the time she was finished they were both crying.
Rachel stood in the shadows of the stage watching as Finn and Quinn walked towards the auditorium doors hand in hand. She smiled at the retreating figures happy in knowing that Finn had finally made his choice.
