Chapter Two

What a horrible day it had been. Finn and I had been fighting over New York. He wanted me to go without him and was telling me that he wasn't good enough and how I'd be better off with someone else, someone who had my ambition. I didn't want that though, I knew Finn had it in him to do whatever he wanted to and he was always so supportive of my dreams. He has lost confidence ever since Jesse St James came back to Lima last year and picked Finn apart. I just wanted so badly to get him back on track. New York is always going to be my goal but New York and Finn would more than I could imagine.

I entered the choir room and saw Quinn sitting by herself at the back. "How do you do it?" I asked. "Do what?" Quinn gazed up at me confused by my question. "Finn is telling me to go to New York without him, he says he 'isn't good enough', I don't know what I would do without him there, I see the way you look at Puck, it is the same way Finn looked at me when I was with Jesse. Puck likes you too you know? I can tell" I know those two love each other, yet they manage to pretend they don't know each other "so how do you so easily pretend that there is nothing there?" At that moment Mr Shue walked into the room and everyone feel silent Quinn mumbled under her breath "it isn't easy" and with that I left it. Puck stood up and did a stunning rendition of Taylor Swifts "Back to December" who knew the song could sound so perfect with a male voice to it, it truly brought tears to my eyes.

"Finn" I whispered, "I love you, so much. You will be great Finn, trust me" Finn smiled back at me and grabbed my hand tightly "Thank-you" he whispered back. I wasn't paying attention to what Puck said, but suddenly he was up on his feet chasing after Quinn. Everyone sat with shocked expressions on their face. "I think someone hit a nerve" Artie commented. "Guys just leave them be" Mr Shue told the club "they'll come back when they are ready. Let's hold off and the next song and discuss our stet list for Nationals."

I'd come up with an unstoppable set list, a solo for me, a duet for Finn and I and a show stopping group number at the end with Mercedes belting out the big note. I was sure everyone was about to agree to my plan when suddenly we hurt screeching breaks and a massive thud. Horror spread over everyone's faces "that didn't sound good" Tina commented. "Guys wait here while I go check it out" Mr Shue instructed us. Of course no one listened and we were all following him out the door. Rounding the corner of the McKinley high car park nothing could prepare us with the scene we were faced with. "Oh my god" I cried as I feel into Finn's arms.
