My name is Finn Hudson. I'm 6' 4" and it's no secret that I'm good looking. All through high school, I was kind of the most popular guy in school. I got everything I wanted. My life couldn't get any more perfect.
I had the perfect family. My dad died when I was a baby so I was raised by my mom. She worked hard to keep food on the table and the lights on but I wouldn't trade her for the world. Then, during my sophomore year, she met this amazing guy, Burt, and the two of them got married a year later. I went from having just a mother to having two loving parents and an awesome step-brother. Kurt isn't exactly what you'd expect. He's about as straight as his boyfriend Blaine's hair– not straight. But he's my brother and I love him. There was a time when I didn't appreciate him. Having a gay brother didn't exactly make it easy to stay popular. But at the end of the day we're family and we love each other.
I had the perfect girlfriend. Quinn Fabray was the head cheerleader. She as blonde, pretty, had nice boobs. What can I say? I was an eighteen-year-old guy. Quinn and I had a seemingly perfect relationship. We had been going strong for three years. We were the "it" couple and well on our way to prom queen and king.
I was the quarterback. I was McKinley High's first sophomore quarterback and had confidently held onto the position since. Coach Bieste LOVED me and I was winning. There wasn't a doubt in my mind that I would hold onto my position until I walked across that stage with my diploma. Being the quarterback meant that I was popular. It meant that teacher's gave me C's so I could keep playing. It meant everyone respected me.
I had the perfect best friend. Sam Evans had been by my side through thick and thin since we were little kids. He was loyal, like a golden retriever. We met in pee-wee football. Sam was seven and I was eight. He immediately latched onto me like a puppy. Sam was shy so I took him under my wing and helped him learn how to get what he wants. He never was very good at it though. But somehow he still managed to be popular. He was popular for a different reason. Everyone liked him. He was so damn charming. People loved Sam because he was honestly the sweetest kid ever.
It's funny how one mistake can change someone's entire life. How, even things you think aren't a big deal can hurt everyone around you. This is the story of how losing one of these things, caused me to lose all of the others.
