Drink a Beer.
Finchel is Love
I do not own Glee or its Characters. They belong to Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Ian B. I do not own the music use within it belongs to the singers and songwriters. Shout out to Adam Anders for his great arrangements.
*****As always my Fictions are full of Finchel smut*****
If you are easily offended, my stories are not for you
*****Don't Stop Fincheling*****
This song is dedicated to the wonderful friendships and friends I have lost.
Honor the tether! Remember the drummer!
When I got the news today
I didn't know what to say.
So I just hung up the phone.
I took a walk to clear my head,
This is where the walking lead
Can't believe you're really gone
Don't feel like going home
He couldn't believe what he heard coming out of the other end of his cell phone. No! This is not happening. He didn't even wait for the person on the other end to finish he pressed the red button on his phone hanging up, effectively cutting off the person telling him his best friend is dead.
He got into his truck made a stop at the Pick and Save to grab a six pack of their favorite beer when they'd drive out to the lake, Duffs. It tastes like shit but they didn't care. They were eighteen and had their whole lives ahead of them. They had drums and guitars, they were going to break out of this place.
He finds their place at the edge of the pier just as the sun starts to set, pulling the top off the beer while he remembers his friend. All the times in high school, when they were there for each other. College playing at the frat without a care in the world. So he sits, drinks and remembers.
So I'm gonna sit right here
on the edge of this pier
Watch the sunset disappear
and drink a beer
How come the good die young? That song from Junior Year Only the Good Die Young has been on repeat in his head since the news sunk in. He was far from perfect but he was the best guy, hell, person he knew. It's not fair. God had to have a reason right? Was there even a God? He wasn't sure. All he knew was whatever the plan was he was hard pressed to understand.
Funny how the good ones go
too soon, but the good lord knows
the reasons why it gets
Sometimes the greater plan is kinda hard to understand
Right now it don't make sense
I can't make it all make sense
So I'm gonna sit right here
on the edge of this pier
Watch the sunset disappear
and drink a beer
He's on his fourth beer, when he texts her to come pick him up. He's just drunk enough to not drive. That's what got him here at the edge of their pier, remembering when they came here at fourteen with their mom's to fish the first time. Remembering celebrating with the Glee Club, even though they lost Regionals in sophomore year.
When they picked up Santana together because she was fighting them like a hell cat and didn't want to mess up her hair. "Fuck you guys. I just gots my weave put in and now it's ruined" she sputtered once she surfaced from the bottom of the lake.
This is where they had it out over baby gate. They yelled, screamed, pushed and punched, but left with the understanding that one of them loved Quinn and the other never did.
This is where they fought about Rachel and why it happened. This is where promises were made.
This is where the first few verses of Pretending were written, the day before they left for Nationals. "Music and Lyrics by Hudson and Puckerman." He smiled then went to his truck. We were getting our girl back in her city.
So long my friend, until we meet again
I'll remember you
And all the times we used to
Sit right here on the edge of this pier
Watch the sunset disappear
and drink a beer
Drink a beer, drink a beer.
"Hey baby." she called to him.
"Hey babe. Thanks for coming. I got a bit carried away." He told her holding the last can of beer and an empty plastic beer rings.
"It's okay babe, I understand. It's tough on you, I know." She kisses his pouty lips.
"I Love you. I love our little man too." He says patting her belly.
"He would have loved him you know." She told him.
"He sure would have." He responded.
"Come on Mike dropped me off, everyone is meeting at the auditorium." She stands up holding out her hand. "The police called his mom, her boyfriend was driving and purposefully ran him off the road because he was jealous after seeing them together. They've arrested him."
"Good, it won't bring him back though." he mused. "No babe it won't but he'll get justice" She told him.
"Hey, Rach?"
"Yeah Finn?"
"Do you think we can name him Christopher Noah?" Finn asks his wife.
"Absolutely. I couldn't think of a better name." Rachel told him.
Small little one-shot. I just couldn't kill Finn so I killed Puck instead. Sorry Puck fans.
