A happy Finn Hudson walked down the streets of California. He thought he was the luckiest man on Earth, he is engaged to the most beautiful girl, whom he's been together with since his junior year of high school at William McKinley High School. Rachel Berry was his soon-to-be wife, they've been together for about 4 years, she was a famous song writer and singer, while Finn was one of the best football players in his college. Did I mention he managed to get the UC Berkeley football team to be the best in the league for the past three years? Well now you know. Finn was in his senior year of college, hoping to lead his team to the Super Bowl and win, while Rachel was collaborating with the major stars like Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars, Jason Mraz, etc. They kept in contact with the friends from New Directions, most of the New Directions member went to the same college with Finn because of the football scholarship they applied for, Mike, Sam, and Puck got into UC Berkeley with a sports scholarship, while Kurt, Mercedes, Brittany, Quinn and Tina got into UCB for applying a scholarship in the musical arts, and Artie got a scholarship to UCB for medical science. Life was good for the former members of Mr. Shue's glee club. As for Mr. Shue he's doing pretty well, married to Emma the school's guidance counselor, which by the way is 3 months pregnant. The spanish teacher misses his original members of New Directions, but he is happy because his current glee club can rival with the members of Vocal Adrenaline. But reader, I have forgotten about a certain glee club member that lost contact with all of the former New Directions member, yes, I'm talking about Santana Lopez. No one knew what happened to Santana, no one knew if she was successful or not.
Well, let's let Santana's story unfold later, right now, is Finn's story unfolding. Finn drove home from football practice, I wonder where Puck is? Coach is super pissed at him. Finn wondered to himself. He finally got to his house that he shared with Rachel, he saw Puck's car in the drive way. At this point, Finn was confused, Why would Puck be here? Oh wait, I remember! He and Rachel are working on a song. No wonder he had to miss football practice. Finn thought to himself. It was true, whenever Rachel needed some help with writing songs, she would ask Puck because he was a great guitar player and a good singer. The tall awkward 21 year old walked into his house, it was silent, no guitar playing, no singing, no nothing. Finn heard something upstairs, it was like something being slammed agaisnt the wall. He tensed up, he thought it was a robber hurting Rachel and Puck failing to protect her, so Finn ran upstairs swiftly and quietly to see if it was a robber, it wasn't a robber. At this point in Finn's life, he never felt this angry or sad, not even when he heard about Quinn's baby scandal. No this was much worser, Finn felt like his heart has been physically ripped out of his chest. He saw Rachel and Puck, they were safe alright, there wasn't a robber, it was Puck slamming Rachel against the wall trying to get into her pants, Rachel didn't even fight back, she wanted him to get into her pants. He couldn't take this anymore, he was far from sad right now, he was furious, he wanted to punch Puck's face till his face broke, but he couldn't. Finn decided to just run away from this situation, he went to the only person who can help him through this, well not one person, more like two. He got into his car holding back his tears, racing to Sam and Quinn's home.
After 10 minutes, Finn got to the two blondes house. He didn't even bother to knock, he just barged in to see Quinn cooking dinner and Sam stealing a little snack. The two love birds were shocked that Finn was like this, his face all red, his knuckles red for punching his steering wheel, and his eyes red due to his crying. Somehow, Quinn managed to know what happened to Finn, He had this look before. And I know when he had this look. Quinn thought the herself. Quinn and Sam exchanged a look, Sam gathered that he shouldn't say anything and let Quinn handle it, even though Sam and Finn were pretty close, but he would never have this unique connection that Quinn and Finn created since they were little kids. Quinn went up to Finn, she didn't give him a sympathetic smile, she didn't say anything, she gave him a hug and whispered into his ear words saying that everything was going to be alright. Finn knew that it wasn't going to get better soon, it was going to be better in a really long time. All he could do right now, is just hug Quinn and cry his eyes out. Sam stood there awkwardly, he didn't know what was going on exactly, but he knew this is bad, so he just got a box of tissues for Finn, hoping that he would provide some help. After about 20 minutes of Finn bawling his eyes out, Quinn rubbing back trying to send waves of relaxation, and Sam just standing there awkwardly not aware of what was happening or what to do. When Finn was calm, his tears stopped, he told Sam and Quinn about his incident going on in his house. Finn was scared at first, after he told Quinn about Rachel and Puck, she instantly grabbed her car keys and ran into the car, driving towards Rachel and Finn's house. Sam and Finn were left suprised that Quinn would do something, they knew if they don't get there in time, Rachel and Puck would be severely injured. On the car ride there, Sam asked about Quinn being really protective around him. Finn just replied, "Well, before me and Quinn dated, we were pretty close, we protected each other from physical and emotional harm, we also protected each other while we were dating, but when we broke up because I heard about me not being the father of the baby, so I guess we just reverted back to being close friends looking out for each other, and I don't love her like that ever, I only love her like a sister." Finn said.
When Finn and Sam got to Finn's house, he heard screams. The two football players instantly sprinted up to the bedroom, luckily no one was hurt. Puck was holding Quinn back, while she was flailing trying to get free. Sam went up to Puck and told Puck to release her nicely, he did. In return for Puck letting go of Quinn, Sam punched him, hard. Sadly, he didn't punch Puck hard enough to knock him out. Rachel was shocked that Sam would do something like that, but then again, she didn't know that Finn knew about her and Puck's dirty little secret. Rachel asked Finn why Quinn and Sam were really violent, that just caused Finn to get more angry. Does she really think she could get away with this? Finn thought angrily to himself.
"You honestly think I wouldn't know? Practice was over, so I decided to go home to my soon-to-be wife, but when I got home, I saw her going at it with my ex best friend." Finn nearly screamed at the top of his lungs. Silence over took the entire household, Rachel was crying saying that she was sorry, Puck was quiet, the blonde couple looked furious, no sympathy for the two cheaters, and last, but not least, Finn, he was angry, no doubt about it. As Puck was about to say his apologies, Finn tackled him so hard that he fell over, Finn was on top of Puck throwing hard punches at the mohawked boy, after every punch he got less angry, but more sad. Sam finally got over the initial shock that Finn would do something like that and pulled the tall football player off Puck.
"I'm sick of this! The engagement and wedding is fucking off! I don't want to marry a lying whore!" Finn screamed throwing his hands in the air emphasizing his anger.
"Finn, please, give me one more chance. Please. This will never happen again." Rachel pleaded.
"No, never. I want you out of the house. I don't want you living here, plus I paid for this house all by myself." Finn exclaimed. He didn't want Rachel to live in his house, he didn't care that she had no place to go, she has a lot of money, she can live in the hotel for a couple months.
Finn gave Rachel an hour to pack all of her things and leave. Finn was down in his basement with Quinn and Sam. He was venting out his anger by punching the wall several times, now he has to fix his wall due to him punching three holes into his wall. Finn's knuckles were red now, he was near tears again, then he felt a slender hand being placed on his shoulder. He instantly calmed down, he knows he shouldn't be acting like this, Rachel just wasn't the one. After an hour, Rachel moved out with all her stuff in her car, she was supposedly going to live in a hotel. Finn was sad right now, nothing in the world would make him happy again, he didn't even want to do anything, but crawl into a corner and die. Quinn and Sam thought it would be best if they stayed with Finn for a couple of days, Sam went back to his house to grab a few stuff for both him and Quinn. Never in her life has Quinn Fabray seen Finn this low in his life, he literally will risk his life for Rachel, but Rachel repaid him for being with her, showering her with love and affection by cheating on him with Puck. She was a little disappointed because she didn't even get to land one single slap or punch to Rachel's face. Damn her. Quinn thought to herself. She decided to walk to Finn's bed and took a seat on the corner of the bed and try to talk to him. She talked to Finn, knowing that he's listening, but he just doesn't want to talk, she talked to Finn about when he found out about her baby daddy secret.
"Finn, when you figured out it was Puck who was the father, you were furious, but you moved on. You were a bit happier because you weren't stressed about paying the bills and stuff for the baby, but you were still sad. Finn, you managed to move on back in high school, you'll manage to move on later, it could be a few weeks, months or years, but you're not going to be alone, you've got me, Sam, Brittany, Artie, and the original members of New Directions. We'll help you through this, I promise." Quinn said, hoping that her advice got through to Finn.
Finn knew in his mind that she was right, he did managed to move on after Quinn's baby scandal, he had the help of everybody in New Directions, he got happier. That's what he'll do, he will move on, he will find somebody else to love, and he will have his happy ending. He thanked Quinn for giving him some really helpful advice. When Sam got to Finn's house with some stuff that the two will need, Finn told them to get some dinner. He couldn't eat right now, not after what just happened. After two hours, Finn had the strength to get out of his bed and search for some food, he walked downstairs to his living and walked to the kitchen. Sure he was hungry, but he looked like hell, his eyes were still red from crying, knuckles swollen from punching the walls several times. Sam didn't say anything, he knew that if he said something, he would probably unintentionally cause Finn to bawl his eyes out or tackle him. As for Quinn, she handed Finn a plate of spaghetti, Finn took the plate immediately and wolfed down the plate of spaghetti in a matter of 5 minutes. Was it strange that Finn wasn't mad or sad anymore? No, during his two hours staring into space, he had time to think. He realized that he did have a few doubts about proposing to Rachel. Finn was mostly confused, one time after he proposed to Rachel, he asked if he could go to the strip club with some of the football players, Rachel didn't even throw a fit she simply said yes. His mind exploded, Rachel just approved of Finn's request to go to a strip club, no tantrum, no screaming at Finn's face, no nothing. It showed that Rachel was insecure that if she said no, Finn would break up with her. Then again, Rachel has been insecure with her relationship with Finn, she always said yes to him, never really firm. Finn thought that if he asked her that she would say no because she didn't want him to see some stripper. Finn didn't even end up going to a strip club, it was just a test, he ended up playing video games at Mike's house.
"Sam, do you mind if I ask Quinn a question? It's just a what if question." Finn asked when he was done with his third plate of spaghetti.
"Uh sure. You could ask Quinn." Sam was surprised, he didn't thought Finn would start getting Rachel that fast.
"Thanks, buddy. Quinn, what if Sam whom you were happily engaged asked you to go to a strip club with the boys, what would you say or do? And please, give a straight out answer, no sugar coating." Finn asked.
"A strip club?" Quinn asked making sure Finn was asking the right question. Finn nodded.
"Well I would probably slap him and say, 'If you value your soon-to-be wife then you will NOT go to that strip club or the wedding is off.' or something along the lines of that. Why would you ask?" Quinn said taking a seat next to Sam.
"Well, I asked Rachel if I could go to a strip club with the boys as a test to see if she would say something along the line of what you just said, but she said yes, she didn't even give time to think about. She seemed like she wanted me to go to that strip club. Plus I didn't even end up going to the strip club, I ended up going to Mike's house and played video games." Finn said chugging down a bottle of water.
"She really said that? Wait. Wasn't she a little insecure when it comes to your guys' relationship? I mean like if she didn't say yes to you she thinks that you would break up with her because back then, you were the quarterback and she was the loser." Sam said. He was right though, Rachel was insecure with her relationship with Finn.
"Yeah, maybe you're right. And if she asks me for a second chance, I'm not giving in to her." Finn said with a genuine smile on his face.
He was really glad that he wasn't with Rachel anymore, sure it has only been a few hours, but when Rachel wasn't insecure about their relationship, she was bossy, arrogant, and mean. Most of the time, she would break into a random song and expect Finn to sing along with her when he was studying for his marine biology test, or lifting some weights. Finn being a pushover he gave into her and sang with her and studied during the middle of the night with no help from Rachel at all, she was sleeping after her hard day of sitting on a couch and writing songs. Oppose to Finn's busy and exhausting schedule, class early in the morning from 8 A.M to 3 P.M, and hour break just himself in the library studying or just chilling on the field with a few friends, then he had football practice for 3 sometimes 4 hours, but right now his schedule was pretty easy, since senior year of college started he dropped his math, history, and english class and did some musical classes like music theory and a singing class for fun. Now his schedule wasn't hard anymore, he kept his marine biology class because it came naturally to him, and his schedule is 1 hour shorter, giving him a two hour break, he was also happy because practice is only on Monday's, Tuesday's, and Wednesday's. And whenever Rachel was with Quinn or Brittany she would brag about her work. Quinn and Brittany didn't really care, they just tune her out, something that they learned back in high school. Rachel was mean every now and then, she would sometimes tell Finn that he was singing off key when he was in the shower, a place for privacy and a place to get away from reality, or when the former New Directions got together and sang a few songs together, she would critique them, not in a nice helpful way, more like a mean and bossy way.
Finn went through the refrigerator to look for some ice cream, but there wasn't any, he frown a little, he really wanted a few scoops of ice cream. He went upstairs, grabbed his car keys and a jacket and headed towards the door.
"Where are you going?" Sam asked.
"Out of ice cream, need to get some." Finn said.
"Oh, can you get me a tin of mint chocolate chip?" Sam asked giving Finn 10 dollars.
"Sure. Quinn would you like any?" Finn asked.
"No thanks. Wait. Did you say ice cream?" Quinn asked. Finn and Sam knew that Quinn loved ice cream, but she would refuse to eat it sometimes because supposedly it ruins her figure.
"Can you get me a tin of French Vanilla ice cream?" Quinn asked.
"Sure, Q. I'll be back in about 20 minutes." Finn said heading out the door. He thought it was hilarious that Quinn contemplated on getting ice cream, she's taking a dance class, so she'll probably end up burning all of the calories.
Finn got into his car and drove to the nearest super market, during the car ride there, his mind managed to think about the old days of New Directions and all the events that happened. Those were his glory days, being able to express yourself through singing and dancing, Mr. Shue taught all of them the real meaning of being in high school and for that Finn was grateful along with the whole former glee club members. He thought of all the history he had with each individual glee club member, him and Puck being pretty good friends, Finn and Mike getting in trouble for pulling pranks in the glee club, Finn, Quinn, and Sam finding a common ground and got closer, Finn and Rachel finding each other (Finn instantly shoved that memory out of his mind.), Brittany helping Finn with his dancing, Mercedes and Kurt helping him nicely with his singing, Artie helping him with math and science, Tina helping him with history, and how Santana took his V-Card, how she wanted to date him, but he shut her out because he was dating Rachel. What did happen to Santana? I wonder if she's successful, she never told us anything. I wonder if Brittany still keeps in touch with her? Finn thought to himself. He really was curious how Santana ended up after graduation. Maybe she's still in Lima, if she still is, maybe I can visit her. That's it! The original members of New Directions getting together again! That would be so awesome! Finn thought. He honestly couldn't wait to go back to Lima if Santana was still there.
When Finn got to the super market he headed to the isle that had ice cream. He was contemplating on what flavor to get for himself when he had an excellent idea, a sleep over. A little cliché, but it would be an awesome way to talk to everyone again, he never really saw Brittany, Tina, or the rest, he only saw Puck, Sam, and Mike because of football practice. He texted Sam if he and Quinn wanted to some company for the next few days of their stay. Sam texted back with a yes. Finn texted Sam and Quinn telling them to get invite everybody over his house for a sleep over and an ice cream party. After about 2 minutes, Finn got a bunch of texts, the texts containing what flavor the guests want. So Finn bought 2 tins of Mint Chocolate Chip, 1 tin of French Vanilla, 3 tins of Rocky Road, and 2 tins of Neapolitan ice cream. He was set for the ice cream party sleep over. After paying the cashier for the ice cream he headed home immediately. Once he got home, he was greeted with hugs by the former member of New Directions. Well, Brittany and Quinn didn't really bother hugging him they just lunged for the bag of ice cream. Damn, those two really love their ice cream Finn and Sam thought. Everyone was in the living room sitting in a circle, they were either sitting on the 3 couches, a few chairs, or in Finn's case a huge bean bag chair. Finn being the really curious person he asked everybody about Santana.
"Hey guys, what happened to Santana?" Finn asked. The question seemed to make the whole room go quiet.
"We don't know. She never said anything to the college she was going to." Quinn said. Finn nodded at Quinn's fact.
"Britt, did you keep in contact with her? Considering you're her closest friend." Finn question the blue eyed blonde.
"Nope. No email, no texts, no phone calls. Does she hate us?" Brittany asked with her lower lip sticking out a bit.
"I don't think she hates us. I think she just didn't want to keep in touch." Mike said.
"Hmmm. I wonder what happened to Santana?" Finn asked a little disappointed that he didn't get any information about Santana's where abouts.
Finn and everyone in the living room enjoyed their ice cream sleep over party. Reminiscing about their glory days in Mr. Shue's glee club, the song choices, the hilarious and awesome costumes, Finn's favorite part about the past was when Brittany threw up on Rachel during the Tik Tok number, but when he laughed at that little moment Mike brought up, he couldn't help, but think about Santana barfing to. Lately, she's been on her mind, or the past 2 hours. The best part of the ice cream party, no one talked about Rachel or Finn's relationship with Rachel. We can thank Quinn for filling everybody in for that. Finn looked up a little, he saw a familiar figure walk by through his living room window. Santana? Finn thought to himself. He didn't bother to shake the thought out of his head. Instead, he ran outside to see the familiar figure. He ran up to the figure and placed his hands on the figure's shoulder. No doubt it was a woman because of how the coat hugged her curves, and black locks cascading down past her shoulder blade. The figure turned around, she let out a gasp. Finn also let out a gasp, it was definitely Santana, she changed a little, but you can still tell it was her. It was the same girl who took Finn's V-Card back in high school, the same girl who wanted to date him, the same girl who made Rachel's high school life mostly miserable.
"Santana? Is that you? Do you remember me? It's Finn." Finn said, hoping that the Latina still remember him.
"Hey, Finn. And yeah I do still remember you." Santana said looking into Finn's brown puppy dog eyes.
Wow. After 4 years, I still can't get over his brown eyes. Santana thought. She was starting to lose herself in his eyes just like old times.
