Falling Slowly Chapter 6, a glee fanfic

Ch.6

Two days later, it was time for Finn and Alison to perform. Yesterday, Rachel and Puck performed "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" and Santana sang "Firework". Mercedes just went, singing an amazing rendition of "The Only Exception". It was finally their turn.

"Let's here it for Finn and Alison," Mr. Shue exclaimed. Finn sat down behind the drums, while Alison stood front and center. Alison twirled her Cheerios ponytail between her fingers, before nodding at the piano player. He started playing immediately.

*Alison= italicized, Finn=bold, and both=underlined*

Something in the way you love me won't let me be
I don't want to be your prisoner so baby won't you set me free
Stop playin' with my heart
Finish what you start Alison made her way over to Finn.
When you make my love come down
If you want me let me know
Baby, let it show
Honey, don't you fool around

Don't try to resist me
Open your heart to me, baby
I hold the lock and you hold the key
Open your heart to me, darlin'
I'll give you love if you, you turn the key Finn got off the drum and walked over to Alison.

Something in your eyes is makin' such a fool of me
Your making me, you're making such a fool of me Alison started walking backward, and Finn followed her.
I see you on the street and you walk on by
You're on the street, I see you when you walk on by

When you hold me in your arms
you love me till I just can't see.
Ohhh
So you choose to look the other way
Well I've got something to say... Finn grabbed Alison's hand and spun her around.
Open your heart to me, baby Alison walked over to the piano, and Finn followed.
I hold the lock and you hold the key
Open your heart to me, darlin'
I'll give you love if you, you turn the key Alison started running around the piano, Finn running after her.
Open your heart, I'll make you love me
I hold the lock and you hold the key
Open your heart to me, darlin'
I'll give you love if you, you turn the key They both stopping running around the piano.
Ohh-Ohhh Finn lifted Alison onto the piano and held her hips.
Open you're heart with the key!

The song ended with Finn's hands on Alison's hips and both of them staring into each other's eyes. They both were panting heavily. The glee club erupted with applause. Alison looked away from Finn to Mr. Shue.

"Great job, guys. Very good innovation," Mr. Shue said. Finn finally lifted Alison down from the piano, and walked back to his seat. Alison walked back to her seat next to Quinn.

"Okay. Brittany and Artie, you're next." Brittany and Artie started to sing "No Air", but both Alison and Finn were too preoccupied by their thoughts. Finn thought of how soft Alison's lips were and about her cute dimples. Alison thought about the feeling of Finn's lips on hers and his cute dimples. Alison and Finn were both pushed out of their daydreams by the bell.

"Okay, guys. Your assignment for next week is to find a love song that depicts people falling in love. Have a great weekend guys," Mr. Shue said as the glee club started gathering their stuff. One by one, everyone left the choir room, leaving Finn and Alison alone. A few minutes of an awkward silence passed over them before Finn cleared the silence.

"So, do you want to hang out this weekend?"

"Ummm….," Alison shyly mumbled. Something's wrong, Finn thought. Alison is never, and I mean never quiet.

"I don't think that will be a good idea," Alison continued.

"Why?" Finn confusedly asked.

"Because, I have a boyfriend. And that kiss…..it shouldn't have happened. It was a mistake."

"A mistake? Do you regret that kiss? Because I don't."

"Look, Finn, I really like you. But, we can't kiss, I would be cheating on Ben."

"But you don't even like Ben!" Finn yelled.

"But I can't hurt him like that. I know what happened between you and Quinn. You know how it feels to be cheated on. And now you want me to cheat on him?"

"No. But I really, really like you, Ali. Why can't we be together?"

"I can't do this right now. Ben is waiting for me. I'll…I'll call you later." Alison ran out of the room, leaving Finn to process what she just said. Then Finn had a flash of genius. That's it, Finn thought. It's perfect. I can do my glee assignment and win Ali over. It's like I'm killing 2 stones with 1 bird….or something like that.

The next Monday, school went by quickly. It was now time for glee club. Finn was nervous; he was practically laying his heart on the line.

"Guys, we have one volunteer today. Let's hear it for Finn," Mr. Shue said as everyone walked in. Everyone gave Finn a strange look, as he never volunteered to go first. Even Rachel was surprised. You can do this man, it's just a song, Finn thought.

"Umm…well this song is for Ali. I remember what we talked about Friday, but I just want to tell you how I feel," Finn said looking straight into Alison's eyes. She bit her lip and gave him a small smile. Finn smiled his half-smile in return. Finn nodded at the jazz band to begin.

I shouldn't love you but I want to
I just can't turn away
I shouldn't see you but I can't move
I can't look away

I shouldn't love you but I want to
I just can't turn away
I shouldn't see you but I can't move
I can't look away Finn sang as he stared deep into Alison's eyes.

And I don't know how to be fine when I'm not
'Cause I don't know how to make a feeling stop
Just so you know
This feeling's taking control of me
And I can't help it
I won't sit around, I can't let him win now
Thought you should know
I've tried my best to let go of you
But I don't want to
I just gotta say it all
Before I go
Just so you know

It's getting hard to be around you
There's so much I can't say
Do you want me to hide the feelings
And look the other way Finn sang these lyrics, nodding along.

And I don't know how to be fine when I'm not
'Cause I don't know how to make a feeling stop

Just so you know
This feeling's taking control of me
And I can't help it
I won't sit around, I can't let him win now
Thought you should know
I've tried my best to let go of you
But I don't want to
I just gotta say it all
Before I go
Just so you know

This emptiness is killing me
And I'm wondering why I've waited so long
Looking back I realize
It was always there just never spoken
I'm waiting here...been waiting here

Finn finished the song breathless, still staring deep into Alison's eyes, his cinnamon brown ones piercing through her clear blue-green ones. She broke eye contact when everyone began applauding.

"Great job, Finn. That song was perfect, exactly what I wanted from this assignment," Mr. Shue complimented.

"Uh, thanks Mr. Shue," Finn replied. Finn sat back down, in his now usual seat one row behind, two seats on the right of Alison. She was sitting next to Rachel and Mercedes, and was looking at the ground. She slowly raised her hand.

"Mr. Shuester, may I be excused? I don't feel very well," Alison shakily asked.

"Sure, Alison. Are you feeling alright?"

"I'm just a little sick. Rae, can you drive me home?"

"I can drive you home," Finn blurted out. Alison finally picked her gaze up off the ground and she turned to look at Finn. Her blue-green eyes bore into his.

"Thank you for offering, but I would rather have Rachel bring me home. I need to talk to her about some very serious matter," Alison answered back. She then proceeded to grab her books and walk out of the room. Rachel quickly followed her, but not before turning around and looking at a very sad Finn.

"She'll be alright, Finn. She's just a little overwhelmed. Try calling our house later, okay?" Rachel said. Finn just nodded. Rachel walked out of the room.

"Good job, Frankenteen. God, do you have to be so obsessed with those Berry midgets?" Santana snappily said.

"Shut up, Santana. Don't you have something better to do than pick on Rachel than Alison, like practicing your singing? At least Alison and Rachel don't sound like screeching cats when they sing," Finn snapped back. Everyone gasped at his outburst, including Santana. Finn just shrugged while getting up.

"Can I go, Mr. Shue? I just can't sing right now." Mr. Shue just nodded his head, and Finn walked out of the choir room. That went well, Finn sarcastically thought.

A.N. Glee belongs to Ryan Murphy and Fox. Borderline/ Open Your Heart To Me belongs to Glee and Madonna. Just So You Know belongs to Jesse McCartney. Although this is a Finn/OC story, I totally ship Finchel. Original Song was cute, but there weren't enough Finchel moments. Fuinn is horrible. It's gross, and Finn is such a hypocrite. He forgives Quinn, who cheated, got pregnant, and then lied about the child's paternity for months, while Rachel made out with Puck, stopped, and then told him immediately? Damn you, Ryan Murphy! Why can't you leave Finchel together? Please review, and if you have any suggestions, or questions, don't be afraid to message me.
