I do not own glee blah blah blah... you know the rest.

Driving through the empty streets of Lima, Ohio, on his way home from Lima general hospital. Yet again Finn Hudson had been laid off from another job. It's not like he enjoyed working for that car garage but he is sick of being fired from every job he gets. It's not his fault 'Faithfully 'started playing on the radio station. It's not his fault he lost his temper and smashed the car window straight through. That could have happened to anyone, he's just unfortunate enough to be the unlucky sole that found himself in this situation. It's been ten years since he last saw her. She moved out of Lima as soon as she left McKinley, he always knew she would. She got a place at NYU and left a few months after graduation. They stayed in touch for a few months trying to make their long distance relationship work, but after a while they just stopped talking. Ten years, yet thinking about her still made his heart throb. The truth is he never fully got over Rachel Barbra Berry. How could he, he spent so long chasing her, and she's not a girl you easily forget.

But Finn had bigger worries at the moment, the fact that he was now jobless, for the second time this month. He had to find somewhere to work quickly or he would not be able to pay his rent this month. And his roommate would not be best pleased with him. Finn had stayed friends with Puck after high school, and shortly after they moved into a flat together. Puck worked at McKinley now, since he never had a chance of getting a job anywhere else from his criminal record. He worked in the sports department as the basketball coach. Surprisingly the team won most of their games.

Finn searched through various music stations, and finding he didn't like any of the songs. All songs nowadays were all rap, what happened to a bit of good old reo speed wagon. Giving up on finding a song he actually thought was half descent; he scrimmaged around the floor of his messy car to find a CD. He really needed to clean this car out sometime; the floor was hardly visible beneath the old McDonalds drink cartons. Keeping his eyes on the road he eventually felt the edged of a CD, not even looking at what it was he shoved it into the CD player. Almost instantly the voice of an angel filled his car, singing 'What I did for love'.

"Not this CD, anything but this!" Finn shouted desperately trying to take it out. In his frantic struggle he missed the eject button and changed the song onto the next track. The lyrics to 'No Air' filled his ears. Eventually he managed to eject the CD and threw it on the floor of his car once again. Why did he keep that CD? That stupid CD she had recorded his senior year of high school of all the songs she had ever sung that were in reference to him. Why was it even in his car? He had never had the heart to throw it out. Driving home five miles above the recommended speed limit, Finn forgot about finding a new job and just drove straight home.

Jumping straight into the shower Finn lost himself in his thoughts, and didn't even hear Puck arriving home after his day at school. After he got dry and dressed Finn walked into the living room, preparing to fling himself on the sofa and settle in for a night of watching football games and useless trash on tv.

"Hey man, what you doing home so early" Puck said. Finn looked around from where he was lying on the sofa, to find his roommate sat at the kitchen counter.

"Ohh erm, I got fired" Finn said glumly, preparing himself for whatever harsh, and cruel comments Puck was about to give him. He had known Puck for to many years to not expect to be mocked in a moment like this.

"Ohh tough break, what you going to do for another one?" Puck asked.

"Wait what, no snarky comment, no insults. This is not the Puck I've known since I was 5 years old. What's eating you up man?" Finn asked confused.

"Shannon retired today; I guess I'm just feeling a little down. We were good friends; we got pretty close in her last few years working there." Puck confessed.

"You mean Shannon Beiste. Our old football coach, was she still working there, wow she really was committed." Finn said.

"You bet, it was her final day today, which means now were short of a football coach, when we desperately need one!" Puck said, slightly hinting.

"Ohh no, where do you think you will find one?" Finn said, totally oblivious to the suggestion Puck was trying to make.

"You are so thick, why don't know coach the team!" Puck shouted.

"I don't know man; I feel like I just got out of that place, i don't really wanna go back"

"We'll tell you what, you have no other choice, where else will you find a job that pays swell as this one with your lack of qualifications, and if you don't find a job fast I'm kicking you out and finding a roommate you isn't a total sell out" Puck insisted.

"Fine whatever, I'll go for an interview, but i don't think Figgins would appreciate seeing me again!"

So thats the end of the first chapter, this chapter was really just a starter to explain where the charactors are now and to set it up. dont worry Rachel comes into it soon. just have to set up Finn with a job first.
