Finn opened the door to the home he had not seen in years now with Burt following behind with his bag.
"OH honey! I miss you so much" Carole ran up and hugged him.
"Hi Mom, I missed you too." Finn hugged her back.
"I'm making your favorite for dinner, breakfast for dinner."
"Oh cool."
Come to think of it Finn really didn't have a favorite dinner anymore. He would much rather have a favorite drink sliding down his throat by that time of day. He was still wondering how he was going to get away with that being here in Lima. He climbed the steps up to his old room. He had gotten used to being alone so it was just comfy to him to be that. He started humming to fill the silence he no long cherished.
Some day you'll find out what it means to be blue I still can't believe what I'm feelin' Some day you'll find out what it means to be blue Your words built the walls of this prison Some day you'll find out what it means to be blue
'Cause everybody pays for the things that they do
You broke something precious, sacred and true
Darlin', what did love ever do to you?
As my heart turns slowly to stone
I'm staring a hole through the ceiling
The memory of your leaving won't let go
'Cause everybody pays for the things that they do
You broke something precious, sacred and true
Darlin', what did love ever do to you?
And like a fool I'm doin' time for you
I searched through my mind for a reason
But when you left, you left me without a clue
'Cause everybody pays for the things that they do
You broke something precious, sacred and true
Darlin', what did love ever do to you?
Finn fell into sleep after his long journey back to Ohio.
A knock came at the door. It was a familiar face.
"Hey stranger." Said Kurt
"KURT!" Finn picked Kurt up in hug.
"I didn't even know you were gonna beat me home and I didn't get your text till I was in the driveway."
"That's alright. I'm so happy you are home. Now I have someone to hang out with."
"I know. You've been telling me for well ….ever."
"I'm sorry half the time I don't even remember calling you."
"Well if you are calling me at least I know you are still staying out of trouble."
"Take a seat. Let's catch up. This time I'm actually sober."
Kurt took a seat on the end of Finn's bed.
"Okay, I mean I know we are brothers and all but Finn we were never this close
so what is going on with you? I get you need someone to talk to
when you're drunk but….are you really okay? You know drinking every night is not
what I think anyone should be doing."
"Why is this the only conversation we have when I'm sober?
I told you I'm fine. I'm 21 years old. I don't need to be told what to do."
"Finn I don't want to fight with you."
Finn stood up and kicked his desk chair and walked down the stairs and towards the door.
"Honey dinner is almost done." called Carole.
"I'm not hungry. You guys enjoy." Finn mumbled.
He didn't have a car so he just started to run. At least there was one thing the army made him good for.
Kurt came down the stairs with a large sigh. Burt was sticking his head out around the corner of the living room.
"What happened there?"
"Nothing I think he just isn't use to being around us anymore and someone actually caring what he is doing with his life."
Carole gave him a worried look.
"What is really wrong with him dear?"
" Don't worry I have it under control. Promise. Can I borrow your car?"
"Yes of course. I made dinner but I guess that is going on the back burner." Carole said
"I'll be back."
Kurt climbed in the car and dialed Rachel.
"Hey Kurt, What's up?"
"I need you help with something. Get ready I'm on my way to your house."
"Okay what with"
"I'll explain when I get there. I'm turning down your street now."
"OH okay."
Kurt pulled up to Rachel's and she walked down the walkway and climbed in.
"What is the emergency?"
"I hate to say this."
"Kurt you are scaring me"
"I need you to talk Finn straight."
Rachel gasped. "Is he alright? Wait is Finn here in Lima?"
"Physically yes. Mentally, he needs a swift kick right in his behind.
And yes he is back in Lima he just got here today too."
"Where are we going?"
"The Lima Hotel."
"The bar. It's 4:30, why is he at a bar so early?"
"The better question is why is he getting there so late for him?"
"Oh Finn." Rachel said with her head down.
