Chapter 2

History and Trig passed in a blur. All the while I got myself and ass for that matter starred at by every jock/guy in school. Kurt took me to all my classes we chatted like we had been friends since we were 5. Finally 4th period came around and lunch called me . I made to walk into the cafeteria but I felt someone tap my shoulder, holding back a flinch that I knew came when my bruises were touched. I turned to come face to face with finn. I looked up at him and instantly felt inferier to his tall stature.

" Hey um, Amorrie-" he started nervously.

" Morrie," I corrected with a smile. I held out my hand. He shook it and relaxed at my touch.

" Right, um do you wanna go get something to eat. Its way healthier than this crap." He laughed awkwardly. Um whoa. Does he not have a pregnant GF. I looked at him in shock.

" Um won't your girlfriend get you know pissed?" I laughed. He looked to where the blonde sat fidgeting with her food. He looked back at me and smiled and shook his head. I turned to the cafe and then back to finn. What the hell. I motioned for the exit door.

" Sorry my cars a little beat up" He said as my eyes landed on the piece of crap I mean scrap metal. I looked to where my little mini cooper sat in the sun.

" Um. Lets take my coop. Its a convertible." I stated shyly. He followed my eyes to where my car was parked.

" Uh sure, wow. Nice car." I laughed at little as we both hopped in. I pushed the button and his jaw dropped when the top slowly folded down.

" Thanks. Can't afford any accidents though, they'll come find me." I giggle and pull up to a red light. He looks at me in shock.

" what who is they?!" His eyes wide with fear.

" Finn it was a joke." I erupt into laughter. He relaxes and leans back. I stare at him. Why is he so on edge. Well I mean I know his bitch is knocked up. Sorry she looks like a bitch to me. Anyways. He looks like hes gonna explode. I wish we were in the city. I could take him to my special place. My rooftop. It overlooks all of my nyc. I pull into a parking space and turn off the car. He doesn't move. Is he asleep or dead? My driving is not that bad. I stare at the empty park with two vacant swings. I open the door and walk out. I pull my peacoat around me tightly. I walk over to the swings, finn in my wake. He sits on the swing next to me. We sit in silence. A quiet comfortable silence for about 5 minutes.

" What do you do when your life is out of your hands?" he speaks so softly starring into the distance. I turn to him. All day people have mentioned finn as dumb and shallow but sweet with good intentions. In that one sentence he proved everyone wrong. What do you do when your life is no longer in your fingers grasp?

" You let the road lead in you in the direction fate feels is right for you. And one thing you can't do is give up hope." I whisper softly back to him. He looks to me. For the first time I see tears in his eyes. I get up from my swing and wrap my arms around his tall frame. He weeps into my shoulder in what felt like hours. When he sniffles I feel him shift from my grasp. His eyes red and puffy.

" I don't know how to be a dad. Mine died when I was born. I have no way of knowing how to raise a kid. I can barely clean my room. And my mom is supportive but quinns parents aren't. That means double the work. And I don't know what to do. I have to go to school. I want to get into a good college how do you do that with a baby?" He says all in one breath. I stare in shock . He just let everything he was feeling out in one sentence and and 10 minutes of tears. " Im sorry." He sniffles once more. " I didn't mean to jut pile all this on you. I just had no one to-" I put my finger on his lips.

" Finn. Im here for a reason. To talk. To listen. To help. And I don't want you to feel this way, anything you need ill help you." I say with a small smile. All he needed was a friend to hold onto. He embraces me once more. A warm hug, it usually helped me. Suddenly I felt my phone vibrate. I sigh and we let go. He smiles awkwardly sits on the swing again. I answer from an unknown number.

" Hello?..... Annie , whats wrong your talking to fast...Oh no......Again?....Ok Ok uh, ill be right there....yeah …. ok love you to." Shit. Now I have to go and calm my sister down. Finn looks at my depressed features. " Would you like to accompany me to the Merricks Hospital?" His face falls. " Don't worry I just have to get something." I spit out in a breath. He once again relaxes and nods. We walk back to my car in silence , or an quite understanding.
