Disclaimer – I own nothing.

Finn was not amused. He had been in a horrible mood since this trip started. Rachel had been actively ignoring him since their kiss in the library and he couldn't get her to explain why. But his jealous, insecure, teenage mind went straight to the assumption that she was cheating on him with Jesse. Finn hated that guy more than anyone. He couldn't believe that Santana and Quinn had yelled at him for trying to talk to his girlfriend! Worse yet, Rachel had been hugging and goofing off with them during their practice for the sing-off yesterday. But the weirdest thing had been at the campfire. Rachel had fricking sat on Quinn's lap during the ghost story! Quinn had let her! When they left, Rachel was holding Quinn's hand! Finn had been completely confused and followed them. When he saw that all four girls were getting along and laughing – and Rachel looking over her shoulder every five seconds - made it a little harder to stay close, but then those idiots had jumped out and scared them. Rachel especially. Finn couldn't believe how scared she got. It was really kinda stupid of her. I mean, the guys got them good, but no one else cried, or clung onto each other for dear life. Finn actually found it a little funny. But when Coach Beiste had come over he got out of there before they saw him.

The next morning Finn saw Rachel walking with Brittany on their way back from the bathrooms.

"Hey Rach!" He yelled out as he ran over to them. "Hey, can I talk to you?" Rachel frowned a little and moved closer to Brittany.

"Finn..." Rachel sighed. "I don't know..."

"Please?" He looked a bit like a lost puppy. And Rachel caved. She figured they were going to have to speak eventually and Rachel Berry was not one to put things off. She nodded and gave Brittany's arm a small squeeze.

"Alright Finn, we can talk. Let's go down by the lake again."

"But Rachel..." Brittany began to protest.

"Its, fine Brittany. I'll see you at breakfast." Rachel gave Brittany a reassuring smile and walked away with Finn. Neither of them made a move to touch each other this time, they just walked together in step until they reached the lake. Neither of them sat down this time, they just stood on opposite ends of the deck, each leaning on the railings waiting for the other to speak first. Finn expected Rachel to go ahead again, but when she didn't he became frusturated.

"Why are you being all cuddly with Quinn?" He spat out at her.

"What?" Rachel softly asked.

"Quinn, Santana, Brittany? You were all over them at practice yesterday, you jumped in Quinn's lap at the campfire, you held her hand and jumped all over her when Puck, Sam and Mike scared you guys. What is the deal? Quinn is a bitch. Especially to you."

"I...you were..." Rachel was a bit lost for words. She looked down at the lake, fiddled with her hands and took a deep breath, about to respond when Finn cut her off.

"You know they are playing you right? That's what they do, its ALL they do, they act all nice and make you feel like they like you, then they pull something totally worse."

"You think that they are trying to lull me into a false sense of security?" Rachel asked. She had actually been a little worried about that a few times yesterday. But after seeing how sincere Quinn's apology had seemed, and after the ghost story Santana and Brittany had really shown concern for her. Rachel had to admit, even after that, when they had shut the lights off, and she had been terrified, she thought maybe it was all some big joke, but Quinn had let her climb into her bed. Rachel was sure that she would have never allowed that simply for a joke to be a success. But Finn did know her better than Rachel, and he was voicing her fears allowed, which brought them up again.

"Why do you always use big words like that, you know I never understand them and it pisses me off! God, you always have to make yourself seem better than everyone!"

"Finn, why are we dating?" Finn paused, shocked at the question.

"Huh?"

"Finn, I liked you for a while, you liked be back, but you were dating Quinn. After you found out that the baby was not yours and you ceased your relationship with Quinn, we grew closer. We began dating and I had a good time, I thought I was in love with you and you seemed to feel the same way. We broke it off, and I was dating Jesse, but then we got back together and I kissed Puck after I found out that you slept with Santana and we broke up again. Then you were with Quinn, again, and I sort of rekindled my relationship with Jesse. Then you broke up with Quinn, again, and kissed me at Nationals and we have been together since. Why?"

"What do you mean why?"

"Finn, I mean all that said out loud sounds like a soap opera! We're sixteen years old, you said you were in love with me, but you changed your mind so many times that honestly I don't know what to think. And I really did think I loved you, but I'm not sure anymore. I want to be on Broadway Finn, I'm not going to let anyone get in the way of that, including you. I know we talked about it a little and you said it was okay but...but I don't know if I can do this."

"Do what, date me?" Rachel slowly nodded.

"Because of Jesse!"

"What? Finn, did you listen to anything I just said?"

"You know you never answered me about him yesterday. You never denied screwing around with him! And no denying it is basically saying it happened."

Rachel became furious. She had been annoyed and frusturated with Finn before, but now she was just angry, Finn never listened to her when she spoke and it was infuriating.

"I honestly cannot believe you Finn. Not that I should have to confirm it, but no, I am not as you said, 'screwing around with Jesse'. I'm a virgin Finn. I have never slept with anyone. Jesse is my friend, as is Puck – someone who you also seem uncomfortable with me being around – and I am allowed to talk to him. I haven't spoken with him by the way, since we got back together. Which I have said on more than one occasion. You never listen to me Finn. Ever. You just nod and sit there with that dumpy grin on your face and try to make out with me."

"I am so sick of this shit Rachel!" Finn screamed as he kicked the railing.

"What shit? Me telling you how I feel?"

"FUCK!" Finn screamed again and kicked harder. Rachel jumped at the noise and the fury in Finn's face as she tried to back away a little. Finn saw this and it only made him more angry. "Do you seriously think I would hurt you Rachel! You know how fucked up that is? What kind of bullshit has Quinn been putting into your head? You know what, fine, let the Unholy Trinity fuck you over. Go ahead and fuck Jesse, I don't care anymore."

Rachel was in tears. She never realized how truly hurtful people's words could be, she had been called names before, but this hurt deeply.


The moment Rachel and Finn had walked away Brittany ran back to the cabin to find Santana and Quinn.

"Finn is talking to Rach down by the lake." She yelled as she ran through the door. Quinn and Santana shared a look and then Santana jumped up.

"Come on." She growled. "Let go beat the oaf's ass to the ground."

"Wait." Quinn said. "I dunno San, they are dating, maybe we should let them talk."

"Are you serious Q? You're the one that struck up this idiotic friendship with the midget. You saw him yesterday. He grabbed her arm, its bruised. He needs to chill the fuck out."

"San, Finn is a moron, but he wouldn't hit Rachel."

"Are you willing to take that risk?" Santana said crossing her arms. "She's your new best friend. Its your call."

Quinn hesitated for a minute thinking about Finn. He had had a weird crazy look in his eyes when he grabbed Rachel yesterday. She did have a bruise, she was tiny, and Finn was a freaking giant. He did have the tendency to kick and hit things when he got pissed off. Quinn had been actually scared of him once when they were fifteen.

"Fine. Lets just walk down to the lake and see if they're okay. But don't but in unless you actually have to."

That was all Santana and Brittany needed. The trio walked out of the cabin and half walked, half ran down to the lake. Santana was very protective, she always had been and Finn just rubbed her the wrong way. It was less about protecting the dwarf than it was the joy of possibly getting to smack Finn a little bit. At least that's what Santana told herself.


"FUCK!" The girls heard Finn scream as they were almost to the dock. They exchanged a single look, then broke into a sprint. Finn was screaming and kicking the dock railing and Rachel was cowering away in tears. Quinn frowned. She looked so small and so hurt and Finn was just pounding away and screaming about her fucking Jesse and how Quinn was a bad person. She was so over Finn's shit. Before Santana could even make a move Quinn sprinted over and shoved Finn hard. He lost his balance and fell into the shallow lake. Quinn didn't even give him a second look. She turned to Rachel and pulled the tiny girl into her arms.

"Shush...Rachel, shush, its okay. You're okay." Quinn held her tightly and rubbed her back.

"WHAT THE FUCK!" Finn screamed from in the lake. He had only fallen into the shallow end and was only about half went, but he was pissed, anyone would have been.

"Holy shit." Santana said laughing. "Q, that was fucking awesome." Quinn glared at her and Santana clapped her mouth shut. "You okay Finnance?" She asked.

Finn ignored Brittany's hand and climbed out himself. "Fuck all of you. Rachel, when they are doing screwing you over with whatever prank they are pulling, don't come crying to me. Go to Jesse." With that he slopped away in anger.

"What a fucktard." Santana exclaimed. "Midget? Are you okay?" She asked. Rachel sort of nodded her head into Quinn's chest. Brittany jumped over and hugged around Rachel and Quinn. Santana just rolled her eyes.

"We're not joking with you Rach, we really like you!" Brittany said as she hugged the girl. "Well, I do. And I think Quinn does and San does but she doesn't like liking people very much."

"Thank you Brittany." Rachel mumbled.

"She's right." Quinn whispered. "We're not playing you."

"San, come hug us." Brittany called out.

"Fuck no. I don't do group hugs." With that Santana walked off of the dock and made her way to the lodge. "I'm starving, move your asses!" She called over her shoulder.

By the time the four girls made it to breakfast, Rachel had stopped crying and her eyes were less red. People could still tell that she had been crying, but glares from Quinn and Santana had stopped anyone from asking anything. They had eaten breakfast mostly in silence, none of them mentioning Finn, who came in with his clothes changed a few minutes after them. Mr. Schue split them into groups by their numbers, Rachel and Brittany had been 1s while Quinn and Santana had been 2s. They had played some sort of bonding trust exercises until lunch. The girls had been on clean up duty for after lunch and worked quickly to have extra time to practice their number before the sing-off the next day. During their final practice, the girls had mostly ignored but been civil – on Rachel's insistence that performances must remain professional – to Finn. As soon as practice was over they disbanded and had some free time for about an hour until dinner. Rachel had made it clear that she did not wish to speak about Finn or anything that had happened that morning. The girls chose to hang out in their cabin and plot their retaliation prank on the boys. The night had gone similar to the previous night, dinner, Sue harassing the kids, Will flirting with Emma, the boys and Beiste had broken out a touch football game, and they had made a fire, s'mores and told more ghost stories. This time Quinn had taken Rachel's hand as Sue began her story – actually a good one in Quinn's opinion – and she warned Rachel before all of the scary parts came up. They went to bed with no one jumping out at them.

Sometime around 3am Rachel woke up to Quinn climbing into her bed.

"Shut up, you were yelling, you're gonna wake up B and San."

"What?"

"Go to sleep Rachel." Quinn said as she pulled the covers around her and fell back asleep.


"Okay!" Mr. Schue clapped his hands together the next afternoon. "Who is ready for the sing-off!" Everyone cheered. "Okay, Green group? You're up first!"

The green group got up and into their positions as everyone else settled into their seats.

"Dear god, this is going to be horrible." Sue muttered. Beiste gave her a glare and turned her attention back to the kids after giving Will a smile.

Rachel started the song, as the others danced behind her.

I get tired , and upset

And I'm trying to care a little less

When I google I only get depressed

I wast taught to dodge those issues

I was told

Don't worry

There's no doubt

There's always something to cry about

When you're stuck in an angry crowd

They don't think what they say before they open their mouths

Artie rolled to the front and belted out,

Pack up your troubles in you old kit bag

And bury them beneath the sea

Quinn smiled and moved up to sing with him,

I don't care what the people may say , What the people may say about me

Artie belted back in a raspy voice,

Pack up your troubles get your old grin back

Don't worry 'bout the cavalry

Quinn retuned with,

I don't care what the whisperers say , Cos' they whisper too loud for me.

Brittany and Santana were dancing like pros giggling and twirling each other around as Finn awkwardly swayed off beat in the back. Rachel beamed and moved back up to the front for her next verse, but she stayed to the side dancing next to Quinn.

Hot topic

Maybe I should drop it

It's a touchy subject

And I like to tiptoe round the tiff goin' down

You got penny, but no pound

Your business is running out '

not my business to talk about

They don't think what they say before they open their mouths.

This time Finn belted out along with Artie as he wheeled him around in circles.

Pack up your troubles in you old kit bag

And bury them beneath the sea

Quinn reached over and grabbed Rachel as she sang, twirling her around like Brittany was doing with Santana.

I don't care what the people may say, What the people may say about me

Artie and Finn belted out again. Finn actually trying to give it a little dance. Rachel and everyone laughed, but not at him, and he smiled back at her.

Pack up your troubles get your old grin back

Don't worry 'bout the cavalry

Quinn twirled Rachel away from Finn and closer to Santana and Brittany as she sang out her last solo part.

I don't care what the whisperers say , Cos' they whisper too loud for me.

All four girls joined together dancing around the boys as they sang,

Tweet tweet,

Tweet tweet tweet

tweet tweet

Tweet

The boys joined them and really belted out, Mr. Schue and Emma were clapping along hysterically, and even Sue looked like she was enjoying herself a little bit.

Pack up your troubles in you old kit bag

And bury them beneath the sea

The entire group belted out the end of the song together as they finished their dance.

I don't care what the people may say , What the people may say about me

Pack up your troubles get your old grin back

Don't worry 'bout the cavalry

I don't care what the whisperers say , Cos' they whisper too loud for me.

With that, they posed and all began laughing. Everyone clapped (even Sue) and Rachel jumped into Quinn for another hug, this time, she hugged back. After the blue group did their song the four teachers voted on who would win. While they were conversing the kids playfully argued over who was better.

"Okay!" Will said calling their attention. "And the winner is...drum roll please Finn...the green team!"

The group jumped up and cheered while the blue team groaned in protest. There were hugs all around – besides Santana who only hugged Brittany – even Finn and gave Rachel a small smile and a gentle squeeze.
