I don't own glee

Jesse sat at his kitchen table. He looked at the clock. The hands read three o'clock. He sighed. He couldn't sleep. He felt so sick to his stomach, but he had made himself a plate of bacon to easy the hunger monster in his stomach. He had dipped the bacon in peanut butter and was content. It tasted so good.

There was a knock on the front door. Jesse slowly walked over to the closet next to the door. He opened it and grabbed a bat. Who would be knocking at three in the freaking morning? A homicidal maniac is who. He opened the door ready to swing.

"JESSE!" Finn yelled.

"FINN!" Jesse yelled back. "What the hell are you doing here this late at night?"

Finn looked down. Jesse saw a cut on Finn's forehead.

"Rachel and I got into a fight" Finn said. "But she crossed the line this time."

"Did she hit you?" Jesse asked.

"She threw a wine bottle from across the room at me." Finn explained.

Jesse grabbed Finn's hand and led him inside. Finn felt like he was safe when he held Jesse's hand like the world was in its proper place. Jesse had felt the same as he led Finn in the main bathroom to find a first aid kit. Finn sat down on the edge of the bath tub.

"So" Jesse said as he opened up the kit. "Why did she hit you?"

Finn looked down sadly.

"I understand if you don't want to talk about it." Jesse commented. He knew that Finn was fine with Rachel but he knew it still hurt Finn to know that a woman who loved him so much at one time had changed into a bitter woman.

"I can talk about it." Finn said casually. "I told her I wanted kids and she said she didn't want to stop her stupid little career just to have a family. I got so mad that I just wanted to scream and I called her a bitch and well she through a wine bottle at my head."

Jesse stood there looking at his lover.

"Well I think you stated your piece and you now know how she feels about it." He said. Deep inside he wanted to go to Rachel and beat her till she agreed to get divorced from Finn so Finn could be happy.

Jesse cuffed his hand around Finn's face. He moved his thumb along Finn's jaw line softly. He looked into Finn's eyes and saw that Finn did hurt from Rachel not loving him.

"You would think that after five years, a couple would be more in love than the first day they ever said I do but with Rachel…"

Finn's voice trailed off. He started to sob. He sniffled. Jesse started to cry with him.

"It's all gone now" Finn said confidently. "It was hard to deny that I was losing her but now I found you. I now know what love is."

Jesse took his hand from Finn's face.

"How are you so sure that you know what love is just because you met a person like me?" Jesse asked.

"I don't know how to describe it but I know in my heart that inside there is a pedestal with your name on it" Finn said. The words were smooth on his tongue like he had been saying them to Jesse a million times before. It was like saying 'hi' to a friend but saying 'I love you' to a loved one. It just felt right.

"Jesse" Finn said. "I love you"

Jesse started to cry.

"That's all I've ever wanted to hear you say."

The next day Jesse walked through work with his head held high. He walked towards Finn's office. He felt like he could climb a mountain. He smelled someone's lunch. It was sushi. His stomach turned. He fought it off as he walked into Finn's office. Rachel sat in Finn's chair. Jesse's stomach turned as he saw her.

"You!" She exclaimed in a commanding tone. "Where is my husband?"

Jesse didn't know where Finn was. He set the papers he carried on Finn's desk.

"I don't Rachel" Jesse snapped.

Rachel recognized the voice.

"Jesse?" She asked.

"Hey!" Jesse exclaimed.

"I didn't know you worked here" she said.

"Yeah" Jesse said. He stumbled for words. "Tight economy"

"I haven't seen you since Nationals" She said.

"When I was coach of Vocal Adrenaline" Jesse said. He nodded his head.

"Well" Rachel said. "I am sure Finn values you as an employee."

"He sure does even in bed." Jesse thought to himself.

"I hope so." Jesse said out loud.

Finn walked into the office suddenly with a piece of paper in his hand.

"What are you doing here?" Finn asked Rachel sternly.

"Is that any way to talk to your wife?" Rachel asked.

"When my wife's name is Rachel who throws wine bottles at me, then yes I can" Finn snapped.

"I should go" Jesse said. He walked out casually.

It was the calm before the storm in Jesse's eyes.

Inside the office, Finn slapped the paper in front of Rachel.

"What is that?" She asked.

Finn stiffened his body before saying:

"I'm filing for divorce"
