I've never been lucky enough for anyone to stick around. First my dad, then my mom who thought me and my baby sister wasn't good enough to stay sober for after dad left. I can't handle taking any more chances with anyone else, especially Finn and Carole. They are all I have left besides my sister. I need to do right by all of them.
Finn and I have been best friends ever since we were kids. There wasn't any real challenge in me staying loyal, not even a girl. That is until Quinn came along. It was freshman year at McKinley, and I was walking to toward the gym with Finn when I saw her coming out of the girl's locker room in a brand new Cheerios uniform. I was surprised when she seemed to catch my eye and walk toward us. I was surprised again when she stood in front of Finn, and not me. That's the last time I let myself hope for anything. I didn't pay attention to what they were saying. I knew I didn't need to, seeing as she completely ignored me. After Finn made the team, he and Quinn seemed to click even more. Soon they started dating, and I just became another football jock to her. Still it's a step up from what my mom called useless when she was still around.
Because I spent time with Finn I spent a little time with Quinn too, and we became tentative friends due to having Finn in both of our lives. We didn't become very close though, which is why I am confused about the fact that she came over to my adoptive mother's home, and confided in me instead of her teammates or Finn. We sat in my room and I comforted her. It was all really innocent. I wasn't going to hurt my bro Finn like that. But still the next thing I knew she was kissing me. I was shocked still, my mind unable to process. When she started climbing into my lap, I pushed her off of me and stood up.
"What are you doing?! You're with Finn!" She looked queasy.
"I-I know I'm so sorry. I don't know how that happened! I feel horrible, and I love Finn so much! Please don't say anything!"
"Finn is my bro. I have to tell him, no matter what you say. Just because you are feeling sorry for yourself, doesn't mean you can just kiss someone else! Why did you come here? Did you think that because I like you that I would willingly go along with this?!" She was silent.
"I think you should go." I opened my bedroom door making the point that I won't argue about it.
"I-I understand. I'm sorry. Thank you Noah."
"Don't call me that. You don't get to call me that." She walked out of my room and out the door. I slammed it and sat on my bed my head in my hands, and only one thought going through my mind.
I have to tell him.
Hands shaking I picked up my phone and my keys, walking all the way to Finn's house.
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄ƷƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄ƷƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄ƷƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄ƷƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄ƷƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄ƷƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄ƷƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄ƷƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
I knocked on the door, and as soon as it opened I was punched in the face by my best bro. I cried out in surprise and pain covering my eye.
"What the hell, dude?!"
"Don't act like you don't know what you did with Quinn!" I stared through one eye in shock at Finn who was becoming angrier by the second.
"You mean how she came on to me when she knows she's with you, and how like the good friend I am came to tell you the truth?!" He went to punch me again rage in his eyes when Quinn shouted at him.
"Finn! Stop! Please!" Quinn stood there teary eyed.
"YOU! TELL HIM THE TRUTH!"
"DON'T—"
"IT'S TRUE!" Finn spun to Quinn and stared in shock and hurt, all the color draining from his face.
"W-what?"
"I-it's true. I'm sorry Finn. I was feeling bad about myself, and it just happened. I'm so, so sorry Finn."
"Get out. We are through." Finn couldn't look at her in the eyes anymore, and she ran out sobbing.
"Finn.."
"I'm sorry Puck."
"Don't worry about it dude. Can I get something on my eye though? It really fucking hurts."
"Oh right! Get in here." We spent the rest of the evening watching movies, only because I eye was swollen shut. My Frankenteen best friend can really pack a punch. Quinn Fabray really sucks.
But at least I still have my best friend by my side.
